Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 405: A special name?

On the same night, Fei'er, who was far away on the Feiyement, received two contact reports.

A copy came from the headquarters of the Sanctuary of Judgment, which detailed the attack that occurred in the Harbor of Desolate Rain on March 3, and made arrangements for the next countermeasures, requesting the instructions of the Chief Judge. After reading it, Fei Er said to his adjutant: "I have to go back to Harbor of Desolate Rain."

Melquiades, who was checking the financial statements for the post-disaster reconstruction of Nimsher, said without even looking up: “Oh.”

"Huh? You actually agreed?" Fei'er was very surprised. Although the situation in Nimsher City had become stable and no major accidents were likely to occur, there were still a lot of miscellaneous matters, many of which required personal approval from her, the chief judge.

Or is it that it's actually the same with or without her?

“Since it was Dickens’ suggestion, it must be necessary,” Melquiades said calmly, “However, the Scarlett Johansson cannot leave Leisenburg for the time being.”

"no problem."

Fei'er agreed readily. Anyway, she had no intention of taking the Feiyemente back. The noise would be too loud and it would easily be discovered by the werewolves of Silver Moon.

When she thought that she could temporarily get rid of the tedious work, she felt very relaxed. After looking at Melquiades who was still working hard to check the report, she suddenly laughed and asked, "How about I take a few more people back with me?"

He sighed softly: "Why?"

"What?"

"..."

To this end, it is necessary to modify the algorithm and implement a new evaluation mechanism, but what does this have to do with the topic we are discussing now?

I really hope that Lord Fei'er can use his brain more in aspects other than fighting.

"Why take so many people away? In fact, I think that with the military forces deployed in the Harbor of Desolate Rain, we only need to take one of Duhalal or Langning away. There is no need to waste more manpower."

"Ashelia, Duhalar, Conrad, and Ronning."

"Who?"

Indeed, the philosopher Rousseau, who was in charge of the Special Assessment Bureau, felt that the current assessment mechanism could not fully meet the leader's requirement of "selecting wise men from the masses". For example, members of the frontline combat department received significantly more assessment scores when performing tasks than members of the logistics management department. When both parties competed for the same philosopher quota, the former's resume often had a higher weight. But in fact, the association understood better than anyone that sometimes wisdom was more advantageous than strength.

"Well..." Fei'er's eyes were erratic and hesitant. He did not directly answer the adjutant's question, but talked about another unrelated matter: "You should also know that regarding the existing evaluation mechanism, the Special Assessment Bureau believes that there are some omissions, and is preparing to implement a new algorithm to fill the loopholes."

"Because after implementing the new algorithm, it will be more difficult to become a philosopher!"

Melquiades was speechless. She packed up the ship's chief mechanic and diplomat, the commander of the orbital corps, the administrative officer of the ship's maintenance department, and the commander of the mecha corps and took them away. So who was left on the Scarlett Johansson except for him, the adjutant, and Minte, the secretary?

Fei Er looked at his adjutant in surprise, as if wondering why he asked such an easy-to-understand question: "Although the old assessment scores will not be reset directly, but will be converted into new assessment scores according to the proportion, the weight will definitely be reduced. Then, if Asherila and the others want to become philosophers, they will have to endure for several more years. Do you know how many important meetings they will miss, how many major tasks they will miss, and how much precious growth time they will waste?"

You don't know! You only care about yourself!

Fei Er spoke righteously and sternly, defending the injustice of her subordinates. Although Melquiades was also her subordinate in terms of position, in fact, the relationship between the two would be more appropriately described as comrades and companions.

“So what?” Melquiades ignored her accusations and asked back. In fact, he had vaguely guessed what his superior wanted to express.

"So." Fei Er chuckled, "I've seen the plan Dickens sent. If it succeeds, we can catch all the aliens still entrenched in the Virtual Root Swamp and weaken the power of the Thirteen Hermits. This is a major work achievement worthy of reporting in the mid-year performance review. I'm sure the test score will not be low, right? Maybe it can allow someone who is stuck on the edge of being a philosopher to directly qualify for promotion? For example, that person, and that person."

She did not specifically mention "that someone", whether it was Asherila, Duhalal, Conrad, or possibly Ronning, which shows that she is a selfless person and has absolutely no intention of seeking personal gain for her subordinates. Instead, she is thinking about these members of the association who have a bright future!

Melquiades: "..."

Have you ever thought that the reason why the Special Assessment Bureau modified the algorithm is to prevent someone from exploiting this loophole?
As one of the great witches, the leader’s first companion, a saint of the Inquisition, the Grand Inquisitor of the Balance of Order, and the captain of the Scarlet Gate, you actually said something so shameless - forget it, he is his superior after all, and Melquiades didn’t want to say too much.

After a moment of silence, he lowered his voice and said, "If the leader finds out, I won't speak for you."

"It's ok!"

Fei Er is very loyal and immediately said that everyone should take responsibility for their own actions and would never implicate innocent people.

So the matter was settled. Although it was a bit abstract to take all four ship officers away at once, the Feiyemente did not need to perform any important tasks recently. In comparison, the "Spark Plan" at the headquarters was more critical, so it was reasonable to let Lord Fei'er take them to assist.

By the way, the purpose of the Spark Project is not to preserve the fire for anyone, but to completely eliminate the remaining flames of alien races lingering on the Shikilia Peninsula, making the peninsula a complete border of civilization.

After saying this, Fei'er took out the second report. This report came from the White City Federal Republic, an arbitration team numbered A-1152. Fei'er was very impressed with them because she personally gave these people a task: to investigate a priest named Lingge and the Holy Goddess Cult he served.

This is of vital importance as it concerns whether the great cause of the association can be achieved.

The results of their investigation will likely determine the next steps for the Eden Project.

Of course, those team members didn't know that their mission was so difficult. They only knew that it was a mission issued by the Chief Judge himself. It was important, but not that important. After all, it was A-level, not S-level. This was also because Fei Er did it deliberately, not wanting to put too much pressure on them.

The report was very brief, and Fei'er finished reading it in just a few minutes, then revealed a thoughtful expression.

The report mentioned that according to the investigation of the life of Mr. Yang Ke, the first resident priest of Tianxin Church, although he was from Baicheng, his grandfather came from Rostin City in the Kingdom of Great Brittany, and his family heritage can be traced back to the mid-12th century. At that time, a belief called "Goddess of Creation" was spreading in a small area in the Sosen Mountains, and Mr. Yang Ke's ancestors were undoubtedly believers of this goddess of creation.

This basically proves that there is a succession relationship between the Holy Goddess Church and the Creation Goddess Church. Perhaps after the demise of the Creation Goddess Church, its successors established a new sect to conceal their identities. However, many things were lost after all, and the association has been deliberately suppressing similar beliefs. Therefore, until now, only Mr. Yang Ke and his family of three are still believers.

Both Mr. Yang Ke, the first resident pastor of Tianxin Church, and his adopted daughter, Medien, had clear life records and nothing suspicious. However, it was this young man named Lingge who aroused Fei'er's interest.

His life experience is also clear. The A-1152 arbitration team cooperated with the night watchman to investigate his background thoroughly, even the information of his biological parents was so complete. So the focus is not here, but on his name.

“Lingge…” Her fingers tapped the table unconsciously, making a low thumping sound. She muttered to herself, “Lingge, isn’t it Green if you turn it upside down? Green El? How interesting! You named him after the great sage. Do you have high hopes for him and want to train him to be—”

"The next Elf King?"
