Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1663 - 1661: So You’re Also...?!

When they arrived at the castle, everyone was stunned.

"Wow......."

Staring in disbelief at the neatly trimmed lawn, gardens, and the completely transformed castle nearby, the Priestess of the Goddess, Megumin, and Ais were so surprised they didn’t know what to say.

"How is this... even possible?"

Others might not know, but the three of them were aware of what kind of state this castle was in before — overgrown with wild grass, looking like it could collapse at any moment. But in just a few short days, the entire castle was completely renewed?

"Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s magic."

"Is magic really that amazing?"

The Priestess of the Goddess looked at Megumin in astonishment.

"Megumin, you......"

"Don’t ask me, I can’t do it, Yuyuu might be able to......"

Seeing this, Megumin’s face showed a bit of regret, but soon she became determined again.

"My love for Burst Magic will never change! No matter how convenient the magic is, to me, it’s not as good as Burst Magic!"

"Hmm......yes......"

What else could the Priestess of the Goddess say to that?

After all, that’s just Megumin’s personality.

"Meiyin, it’s up to you."

"Eh? Me?"

Facing Fang Zheng’s order, Meiyin was clearly a bit dumbfounded, still troubled about how she would explain this to her family......

"That’s right, you should know how to use everything here, and I’ve said before, you will be responsible for managing here, so from now on, you’re the chief steward."

"Ah......okay......"

What else could Meiyin say?

If you’ve made a mess, it’s up to you to fix it, even if it means tearing up.

"Wow......."

Although the exterior was enough to shock everyone, once they stepped inside the castle, what they saw still blew their minds.

The whole castle was designed by Fang Zheng to resemble a Five-Star Hotel. In the center of the spacious hall was a gigantic crystal chandelier, with stairs leading to the second floor in the middle. There was also a lounge area surrounded by sofas and plants on the side, and even modern facilities like elevators were all there, readily available.

"Uh... Sir Knight..."

This time, Kiare was already a bit trembling.

"Are we supposed to work here?"

"That’s right, you need to be responsible for maintenance here, daily cleaning and tidying, as well as cooking and laundry, is that okay?"

"This... this... I don’t know..."

Kiare didn’t dare to say anything further, the things here looked so precious at a glance, she felt that if she accidentally broke something, it might cost her more than her life!

"It’s okay, just take your time, right now there’s only you all and those kids here."

While speaking, Fang Zheng pointed to the other side at the children, who were all from the orphanage, mostly girls, but also some boys. At this moment, these orphans were standing there, mouths wide open, looking at everything in front of them, not daring to make even the slightest noise.

"This place has five floors in total, the top floor is my room. If there’s anything, you can directly call my direct line. Kiare, your maids will live in the guestrooms on the first floor, coordinate among yourselves which room you’ll stay in. Four people per room, but don’t separate, staying together makes it easier to manage. The boys will stay on the other side, and girls here with you. The dining hall is on the second floor, you’ll handle the allocation of duties, Kiare."

"Yes, Sir Knight."

At this moment, Kiare also regained her senses, quickly nodding her head, being able to work here was like a dream come true for her, unimaginable.

"The same goes for you."

After finishing talking with Kiare’s side, Fang Zheng looked at the Priestess of the Goddess and others.

"You can also treat this place as your base, you won’t need to rent a place at the Adventurers’ Guild anymore... Of course, you can choose your room, there are singles on the third floor, and doubles and triples on the second floor, it’s up to you whether you want to live together or apart..."

"Of course together!"

Before Fang Zheng’s words were finished, Megumin quickly raised her hand.

"Whatever, you can choose as you please... As for the Red Pledge group, let them go to the parlor later to settle the remaining rewards."

With Fang Zheng’s words, everyone became busy at once. The maids divided into two groups, one to familiarize themselves with the environment, and the other to care for the children. The others went each to find their rooms, as everything here was incredibly new to them, trying to adjust wasn’t an easy task.

And Meiyin was in a bind.

The equipment here was all modern, Fang Zheng didn’t bring anyone else, meaning only he and Meiyin knew how to use these things. As the boss, Fang Zheng surely wouldn’t personally teach someone how to use an electric stove, oven, or water heater, so the responsibility to teach fell on Meiyin.

For the people of this world, everything here was just so unbelievable.

Especially Meiyin’s family, after following her on a tour, became even more astonished.

"You don’t need to draw water, just turn and the water comes out of this pipe?"

"Just press this switch and the lights will turn on?"

"There’s actually a dedicated... Is this a toilet? So clean?"

"The bed is so soft... Oh my god, are we supposed to live here?"

And it wasn’t just Meiyin’s family who were expressing surprise.

"This place is really luxurious..."

Walking into the parlor, the adventurers of the Akako’s Red Pledge sat uneasily on the sofa, with the leading Female Knight reaching out to touch the soft sofa cushion.

"What kind of person is our employer? These things aren’t even in my home..."

"Ah, look at this, what is this? Mel?"

At this moment, the red mage seemed to have seen something interesting, pointing at a large pitch black board, hearing her inquiry, the pink-haired girl out of the four seemed to come back to her senses.

"Ah, this is a television..."

"Television? Do you know this? What’s it used for?"

"It’s for watching TV, look, you just press the switch..."

As Mel spoke, she reached out and pressed the switch on the TV, soon the pitch-black screen lit up. Seeing this, the other three adventurers exclaimed "ooh ooh ooh", but the next moment, they saw moving pictures appearing on the TV screen.

"Is this... some kind of surveillance magic?"

"No, it looks like a movie... wait? Movie?"

Seeing this, Mel suddenly seemed to realize something, then she suddenly lowered her head and kneeled on the ground.

"This is... an outlet... electrical wire... Is that a DVD player? Eh? Eh?! How could this be? Isn’t this... how is this possible?"

"What’s wrong, Mel?"

Watching their companion’s strange action, the other three quickly followed suit in kneeling on the ground — perhaps thinking it was some kind of TV-watching etiquette?

At this moment, Meiyin pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hello, sorry for the wait... uh, what are you doing?"

No wonder, seeing a group of people kneeling on the ground when you open the door, anyone would wonder if they possibly opened it wrong.

"What’s going on?!"

At this point, Mel suddenly jumped up and grabbed Meiyin’s hand.

"Why do you have electricity here? And lights! TVs! Refrigerators! DVDs! What’s all this about? Why is it like this?!"

Mel’s questioning was a muddled mess, not a hint of focus, while Meiyin also stood there in a daze, except her reaction was clearly much faster than Mel’s, listening to Mel’s questions, Meiyin’s expression started to change. After all, other than Mr. Fang Zheng and herself, this was the first person here able to string together those terms all at once!

"Could it be you are........."

This time, hearing Meiyin’s questioning, Mel paused, looking at her with wide eyes.

"Could it be you are also...? "

The two exchanged looks, then Meiyin suddenly spoke.

"π equals.......?"

"3.1415926......"

Mel quickly and instinctively responded, then the two exchanged another look, firmly shaking each other’s hands.

"Are you a time traveler too?!"

Then, they shouted in unison.
