I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 472:

Hoth is the steel city of the Kingdom of Enos, likely the most important city in the northern region of the entire Western Empire. A millennium ago, it was once the capital of the Kingdom of Enos.

In this city, there has been a legend circulating about the Babel Tower, even though the belief in the Babel Tower, which was once very common a thousand years ago, has now dwindled to insignificance. However, the people of Hoth have always remembered these things passed down from generation to generation.

It is now midnight, amidst the deafening sound of magical machinery, a few shops on the streets of Hoth still remain open, with lights shining.

The three of them followed Kaluoer, who was acting on her own, wondering where she was going.

Finally, Kaluoer spotted a restaurant that exuded the delicious scent of food. Expressionless, she led the two of them inside.

"Welcome."

The weary restaurant owner was a middle-aged human male, dressed casually. He casually said, "Welcome." Evie immediately felt strange.

Even though the other person was not speaking Noah’s language, he could understand it completely!

"What is going on here?"

Kaluoer and Bai Yan, who had already been on missions to other worlds before, were both accustomed to this kind of situation. This was the magic of the Babel Tower.

This restaurant didn’t seem very big and offered food like fried fish, chips, beer, sausages, salad, noodles, baked potatoes, meat soup, stewed meat… In short, it wasn’t fancy food, and it reminded Bai Yan of a certain country where the sun never sets.

The only two unfamiliar foods were "shā luò" and "bǎi yè". Surprisingly, the former turned out to be a porridge made from sand-like grains, tasting similar to corn porridge. In reality, it was actually a food made from leaves similar to those on coconut trees.

As for "bǎi yè," it was a dish that looked like many leaves stitched together… like a multi-eyed insect. It was high in protein and low in fat. Evie took a glance and felt curious, but after taking a second look, she almost felt like vomiting.

At this time, there weren’t many people around. The customers in the restaurant were mostly workers with clothes that weren’t very clean.

"It seems that the main inhabitants of this world are humans."

Evie looked at the seat in front of her, which was a bit dirty. She furrowed her brows, not wanting to sit down like that at all, but not knowing what to do.

Kaluoer, who had a strong sense of cleanliness, had an expressionless face as she pulled out a clean cloth from her palm and began cleaning the area on the spot.

The restaurant owner saw this scene and was speechless. They wanted to say something, then stopped, and hesitated again. Finally, they decided not to say anything.

Evie chattered away, saying, "Why is that? It’s so strange to think that humans exist in so many different worlds."

Bai Yan pondered for a moment, then calmly said, "According to unverified rumors, humans seem to have some kind of connection with the ancient civilization. It is believed that a mysterious advanced civilization had a secret plan, which eventually led to humans becoming the most common intelligent species in the multiverse."

"Perhaps it’s just a rumor," Evie chuckled mischievously, continuing, "But it doesn’t concern us… you see, I’m actually not fully human, but a half-beast. Did you know?"

She willingly revealed her secret.

"Got it," Bai Yan nodded without hesitation, and he gazed at Evie with a look of awe, as if he was staring at a mesmerizing child.

"Um, yes, you’re right."

Evie paused for a moment, then quickly realized that she no longer had any beastly features due to the transformation ritual of her adoptive father. However, Kaluoer’s half-beast ears were still very prominent.

Um, for this guy, it was still very obvious that he was a half-beast. Ha, he actually thought it was a secret.

Evie realized that she had been silly and blushed slightly.

Kaluoer finally finished cleaning the tables and chairs, and sat down. Bai Yan sat across from her, while Evie sat next to Kaluoer with a smile.

Kaluoer calmly shifted her bottom to the side.

Evie pouted, looking a little unhappy.

"Kaluoer, why are you acting like this?"

She reached out her hand and mischievously tugged at her younger sister’s ear.

Originally, Kaluoer, who had no expression on her face, suddenly shivered from head to toe. It seemed that her ears were really sensitive.

At the same time, Evie also shivered from head to toe, her face turning red. She seemed completely surprised by this feeling.

Bai Yan couldn’t help but ask, "Do you truly empathize with each other? At all times?"

Evie nodded and admitted directly, "Yes, we even know what each other eats every day and the water temperature we use to brush our teeth and take showers. We are well aware of all those details."

This is also why she felt that she and Kaluoer had to marry the same person…

Bai Yan remained calm and said, "Since that’s the case, actually, you should have had many clues through sensory sharing. It’s surprising that you haven’t been able to find her all these years."

Evie’s face suddenly changed, clearly indicating her dislike for this topic.

She had actually been guessing for a while…

Bai Yan realized he had said the wrong thing, so he snapped his fingers and without hesitation, erased the memory that Evie had just experienced.

Evie was completely unaware of anything.

She nodded again and admitted, "Yes, we even know what each other eats every day, the water temperature we use for brushing our teeth and taking showers, we know it all."

Kaluoer heard familiar words and turned her head to take a glance at Evie, then looked back at the old gentleman.

"Hmm? What’s wrong?" Evie was a bit puzzled, not understanding what was happening.

"Nothing much."

Kaluoer shook her head and turned her head back around.

"I have finished ordering, and now I just need to wait."

Over here, Bai Yan sat still in his seat, but in reality, he had already used the power of his mind to place his order. The restaurant owner had already walked to the kitchen to prepare the food.

After a while, the restaurant owner brought out each dish, which, although rough, seemed quite plentiful.

Kaluoer happily munched away, holding the hotdog with both hands. She ate with enthusiasm, nibbling away, as if she were a diligent and focused little hamster.

"Slow down with your eating; it’s making my mouth itch," Evie couldn’t resist picking up a big glass of beer and tilting her head back to take a sip.

Thump, thump, thump.

Kaluoer’s cheeks were filled with food. Bai Yan smiled gently and couldn’t help but reach out his finger to poke her face.

Evie touched her own face, wanting to say something but holding back.

In a way, she had her hair touched over a hundred times and was starting to get used to it.

Evie smiled and said, "Kaluoer, it’s so nice. I can now eat and live together with you again… I have been dreaming for years to have such days."

Evie took another sip of beer and continued to speak.

"In that magnificent palace, life was lavish and abundant. But I knew that deep down, nobody truly loved me, not even my adoptive father. His heart was always occupied by things more important than me."

"Ha ha, Kaluoer, I know. You have always understood my feelings… In this world, there are only the two of us who understand each other forever."

Kaluoer simply listened silently to her sister’s words, without showing any expression, and continued to eat her food with a blank face.

Bai Yan calmly said, "You haven’t even had much to drink yet? And you’re already a bit drunk."

"Hehe, I am in pain because of past memories, how could it be because I was drunk?"

Evie looked at Viscount Edmond with a subtle expression, shook her head, and finally said, "You wouldn’t understand, the feeling of losing family."

"I most certainly can…"

Bai Yan replied in a calm voice. In World, the memories of the past had already become somewhat distant in his mind, and he wasn’t even sure if they were true.

But after becoming extraordinary, all the memories became clear.

Evie could hear the sincerity in his voice and couldn’t help but look over. At that moment, Bai Yan, with the appearance of a gentleman, was drinking his wine, like a melancholic soul.

"You must treat Kaluoer nicely, my friend."

Evie mumbled as she drank several more cups, seemingly a bit intoxicated, her face slightly flushed.

"Hmm," Bai Yan nodded. "This is indeed a specialty drink that can make the extraordinary beings slightly tipsy. It seems that in World of Enos, extraordinary beings are quite common."

Bai Yan glanced at Kaluoer and noticed that she was the same, her face slightly blushing, showing signs of being tipsy.

Kaluoer’s physical constitution was far stronger than her older sister’s. If it were her drinking the same amount of alcohol, she would undoubtedly not get drunk. But Evie’s tipsiness seemed to infect her as well.

Shared sensations, even the feeling of tipsiness and drowsiness are the same.

"Don’t get too drunk, it’s not good. Drink a little less," Bai Yan advised, setting down his glass, but he was abruptly stopped by Kaluoer, who grabbed his arm.

"I, order you…continue, drink."

Kaluoer stared at the man, mumbling unintelligibly.

Bai Yan blinked slightly and smiled thoughtfully, "Hmm… Kaluoer, are you now commanding me in return?"

"You promised, you would listen to me no matter what."

Kaluoer remained expressionless, but skillfully poured the Viscount Edmond a drink.

Bai Yan didn’t speak any further, calmly drinking one cup after another, but he couldn’t get drunk at all.

This kind of specially crafted drink had some effect on Evie, but for him in his current state… the purity was just too low.

Evie had a good, hearty drink. After she got drunk, because she wanted to share the feeling, she directly made Kaluoer drunk too.

As the only person remaining sober in the room, Bai Yan let out a sigh.

"You guys have quite obvious flaws, as long as Evie is defeated, Kaluoer will also shut down."

To be honest, he wouldn’t get drunk even if he could.

For so many years, Bai Yan had always thought that giving up rationality voluntarily is a dreadful thing.

However, Bai Yan could also understand their reasons for wanting to get drunk.

The members of the Babel Tower were incredibly strong-willed and could withstand all sorts of pressures. However, there was no doubt that their "work" was filled with tension, bloodshed, and death, which would constantly accumulate negative emotions.

There was always a need for various methods to relieve stress.

However, in Bai Yan’s impression, it seemed that this was Kaluoer’s first time taking the initiative to relieve stress.

"Go to sleep."

His voice softened as he slowly rose, using his psychic power to lift the two girls into the air.

—

Ouch, my head hurts.

Kaluoer woke up slowly and found herself looking at a unfamiliar striped ceiling, with her sister sleeping beside her.

Last night, it seemed like she had truly gotten drunk… No, it was because of her that she got drunk.

Kaluoer checked herself and realized that she was wearing pajamas, but she couldn’t remember how she changed into them.

Where is the master?

She looked around but didn’t find the man in the bed.

"…"

Kaluoer’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. She turned her head and gazed at her older sister, who was sleeping soundly in a star shape. It seemed like she would wake up soon.

So she gave her pure white leg a hard twist.

"Oh no!"

Evie let out a scream and woke up in pain.

Kaluoer covered her leg and looked at her younger sister with a pouting expression. She said, "Are you silly, Kaluoer? Why did you twist your own leg? It really hurts!"

Kaluoer didn’t say anything. She got up from the bed and saw a bathroom in the room, so she went in to take a shower.

Evie quickly squeezed in and joined the shower against her will.

The two sisters finally left the room together.

This is the best hotel in Hoth City, and there sat Bai Yan in the lobby.

He gazed outside at the hazy street through the transparent glass.

This city is full of modern charm, but there are still many places that are different. For example, magical technology has deeply permeated every aspect of Enos.

Bai Yan also came to understand why drinks could intoxicate the extraordinary. In present-day Enos, everyone is born with the modification of magical technology. They have a versatile magic stone implanted on the back of their hand, which enhances their physical abilities and allows them to unleash various magical spells.

Because their constitutions are generally stronger than those of normal humans, the alcohol must also be sufficiently potent.

Magic spells are currently the mainstream way of life and combat for the people of Enos.

Basically, everything relies on magic spells, even including the creation of food. However, using a large amount of magic spells requires a significant number of magic stones. These are energy crystallizations that have evolved from the corpses of magical beasts.

The city of Hoth is an important location for excavating and mining high-purity magic stones. However, everything comes with a price. The gas released during the processes of excavation and processing of magic stones directly caused the destruction of the entire continent’s environment.

But now, the people of Enos could no longer live without the convenient magic stones and magic spells.

The Empire of Enos, also known as the Western Empire, is set opposite across the sea from another empire known as Andochel. These two nations are the only ones that exist in World now.

It is said that the ancestors of the Andochels were originally Enos people, but the Enos people no longer acknowledge this nowadays.

The civilization of the Andochel Empire was even more advanced than that of Enos. They also had extensive cooperation with the otherworldly civilization, making them the fearsome imagined enemy in the hearts of the Enos people.

Throughout the ages, the empresses of the Andochel Empire have always been women. The current empress of Andochel is Empress Charlotte the Seventeenth, who, despite being over two hundred years old, still maintains the appearance of a young girl.

She had all the power in her hands, making her the most powerful person in World. However, she had little interest in conquering Enos.

The emperor of Enos was a middle-aged man named Oliveroth, who had a very low presence. He basically handed over most of the power to the council, which in recent years had gradually seen the emergence of many wealthy commoners, no longer consisting solely of the original aristocracy.

"The mission is very delicate… I’m not sure where to start."

Bai Yan was calm and peaceful, talking to himself.

The aforementioned world background seemed to have little to do with the task presented in the Babel Tower.

On the phone, the game format for this mission was that common and affordable style of Japanese RPGs.

And they had only two tasks at the moment, one was to save Enos, while the other was to… investigate the ancient queen Aphrora.

But Queen Aphrora should have been dead for many years, not even her bones could be found.

"Hmm, unable to think of any clues, let’s just take a look directly."

Bai Yan pondered for a moment, a silver light shimmered in his right eye. He used his powers to examine the underlying data of the Babel Tower, bypassing the rules, in search of clues to complete the task.
