Chapter 472 Do you even understand the true value of the God of Wisdom?
Star and Archer continued on their way, and soon they encountered Scott again, this time in his television form, accompanied by a cute little cicada.
However, this little shrew seemed rather unwilling.
Justice Scott: "Quack! Evil spirit! Why do you hate humans so much? Don't you have any love or kindness in your heart?"
Xing: [What breed are you?]
Lone Wolf Brothers: "Hmph hmph hmph hmph, my breed is show-quality... no, traitors have no right to point fingers at us."
Lone Wolf Brothers: "Before you lose patience, I can still give you a chance to abandon the light and join the darkness. Kill the guys around you and come back to us."
Although the design is crude, judging from the name and appearance, the canine monster is likely a classic character from the "Clockboy" cartoon, a replica of the werewolf Hanu brothers.
Origami Robin: [Stop pretending, Mr. Scott! It's after me, there's no need to sacrifice your life for nothing.]
Justice Scott: "If I back down here, how am I any different from the other Scotts! Want to hurt Miss Robin... well, you'll have to step over my dead body, quack!"
Xing stared speechlessly at the abstract image of Scott on TV.
Xing: [How do you relate to justice?]
Justice Scott: "Old adversary, you've come at just the right time! Help me out and defeat this damned evil spirit."
Justice Scott: "Explanation or punishment, whatever you choose, as long as Miss Robin is saved, it's all up to you, quack."
Lone Wolf Brothers: "Whether it's one or two, the result is the same. You will be trapped in a cycle of unbearable suffering, playing the curse of 'Little Hanu Operation' for a billion years!"
The Lone Wolf Brothers let out a very contented "humph".
Lone Wolf Brothers: "Enough talk, let's experience the most terrifying torture of Pinocchio!"
In the blinding light, the star was forcibly shrunk, squeezed into the outline of the Hanu brothers, but Archer remained unchanged.
Lone Wolf Brothers: "If you're going to spend your whole life experiencing the fear of Little Hanu's actions, then use your body to truly understand it."
Archer*curious*: [Wow, they actually turned people into cartoon animals? Is this some kind of magic from ancient Greek mythology? No... the principle seems completely different.]
Star*Hanu*: [Is it going to be just another *humph*?]
Archer *examined him carefully*: 【...He's even lost the rationality to communicate? Maybe I should just abandon him; he's not of much use anyway.】
Xing let out a fearful groan.
Archer: [Isn't he understandable? Tsk, we can't just leave him be—can you guys even understand what he's saying?]
Origami Robin: [Of course, Brother Hanu said he's going to punch the evil spirit to the ground, chirp!]
Justice Scott: "Quack?"
Archer*frustrated*: [How did things turn out like this... Is this a daycare or a zoo?]
Archer was surrounded by a cacophony of animal sounds, making him reluctant to open his eyes.
Xing*Hanu*: [Actually, all I need is a TV to restore things to normal. Hey! Are you listening?]
Xing shouted desperately, but Archer remained unmoved.
Because in his eyes, Xing let out another cold "humph".

the other side.
The Lone King appeared alone in the tavern.
"Is it no longer a corridor this time?"
The lonely king looked around; the entire tavern was quiet, and he was the only one there.
"A tavern... that's a style I've never seen before."
The King's memories of taverns are still stuck in Mondstadt two thousand years ago, so he is naturally very curious about this kind of modern tavern.
The king strode forward and sat on the front counter of the tavern.
Just then, the service bell rang.
Scott, dressed as a maid, walked over from the kitchen.
The king was momentarily stunned.
He had never seen anything so abstract before.
"Hello, what would you like to drink today?" the maid Scott asked with a smile.
"Today's special menu is 'A Galaxy of Stars,' would you like some?"
The king lowered his head, seemingly unwilling to face reality.
"Just give me a glass of dandelion wine."
"Sorry, customer, we don't have dandelion liqueur here, we only have beer, spirits, and wine."
“Wine will do,” the Lone King said.
"Ok."
The maid, Scott, put away the menu and headed to the kitchen.
A short while later, he came over with a glass of wine.
However, the contents of that glass did not appear to be wine, but rather an indescribable substance.
"Hello, your drink has arrived."
"A strange rule: Drink it within three seconds, or... you won't be able to leave here..."
"You seem to underestimate me." The Lone King's eyes narrowed slightly, and before Scott could finish speaking, a fierce storm suddenly struck.
Everything, including the tavern, was torn to pieces.
Director Rick, the mastermind behind the scenes, also appeared, but he was now in a sorry state, his custom-made, sharp suit now reduced to strips of cloth.
"As expected of Berserker, this power is wild and strong enough to make him my partner."
Rick covered his face and burst into laughter.
You might think he's showing off, but no, he's actually covering his face, which was swollen from being punched earlier.
"You seem very confident."
The Lone King strolled forward, his Cang Gu sword already drawn from its sheath.
"You should know that I can end this flawed magic trick at any time."
"Of course I know, Mr. Berserker. How about we make a deal?"
“You possess the strongest physical strength, while I possess the strongest intellect. I believe that if we join forces, no one can stand against us,” Rick said sincerely.
The king narrowed his eyes slightly, showing no intention of sheathing his sword.
"So what can I get in return?"
"The right to make a wish with the Holy Grail! All I want is to defeat them. Then the Holy Grail will be yours, and they will be mine. Your Master also wants to obtain the Holy Grail, right?"
"As long as you join forces with me, we will be invincible, and your Master will be very happy to win," Reck said urgently.
The king pondered, "What you say is indeed very tempting, but..."
"The strongest intelligence? You don't deserve that title."
Director Reich frowned upon hearing this.
Now everyone is trapped in his Noble Phantasm, completely manipulated by him. He thinks he has reached the pinnacle of intelligence in the entire universe, and he doesn't even deserve it.
"Do you know? My Master, people call her the Goddess of Wisdom."
The moment the Lone King finished speaking, he swung out the Cang Gu Sword.
The storm erupted instantly, tearing a hole in the sky.
Director Reck was cut in two by a sword, and he said intermittently, "Wait for me, I will definitely come back."
"You will pay the price for disobeying me."
After saying that, Director Reich shattered and disappeared.
Clearly, this is one of his clones.
"interesting."
The Lone King retrieved Cang Gu, and his attention was drawn to it.
He wanted to see what kind of price to pay.
......................
On the other side, Xing and Archer tried many methods and finally rescued Xing from the state of Hanu and returned him to his original state.
Lone Wolf Brothers: "Impossible! You actually found a way to break the curse! This is cheating! It doesn't count, let's play another round!"
Archer: [The same move, do you think you'll have a second chance...?]
Archer: [Hmph, looks like I won't need to lift a finger.]
Suddenly, Potio and the ranger robin appeared.
Ronin Robin: [Thanks, buddy! We're taking the dog head from here.]
Potio: [Anytime! Anywhere!]
Rogue Robin: [A patrolling sea knight! Punishing evil and upholding justice!]
Potio: [Prepare to die, you little darling!]
Potio: [Long time no see, though it hasn't been that long. Ever since that little cutie sucked me into the TV, I've been getting lost in the hotel, and along the way, I've been making love to all sorts of cute little things.]
Potio: [Just a short while ago, the entire space collapsed and caved in. When I regained my footing, suddenly there was... a Miss Robin beside me!]
Potio: [I never expected you to actually have a bit of a knight-errant potential—by the way, what's that cute little thing that the nasal-walking beast is keeping over there? A prisoner?]
Justice Scott: "Quack, a righteous partner, quack."
Potio: [Huh?]
Star*Serious*: [It's time to get down to business.]
Justice Scott: "In the previous battle, Greedy split my consciousness into countless parts, just like Miss Robin now."
Scott the Justice: "To be honest, I also find it unbelievable that a trace of 'justice' could remain within the being 'Scott'? But I cannot deny that a burning sense of righteous indignation always resides within me."
Star*Thoughts*: [This is indeed quite surprising; I can't imagine how deep your dark side is.]
Origami Robin: [Mr. Justice Scott is different from those bad Scotts; he risked his life to protect me.]
Potio: [You'd be better off believing in this nasal beast than believing I'm a general of the Celestial Ship. Don't blame me for being blunt, but instead of getting someone like him to repent, we should send the Antimatter Legion to plant trees in the Thieves' Kingdom.]
Archer: [I wholeheartedly agree with that. We cannot afford the potential risk of the enemy cursing him or turning him into a special familiar, what if...]
Even Scott himself began to have doubts: "What if this is also Scott's conspiracy? What if the evil him is just dormant inside me, ready to wake up at any moment..."
Justice Scott: "I want to go with you to save the other Miss Robins. To guard against Scott's tricks, I also need someone who can kill me in time."
Star*Incredible*: [Keep acting, and see if I believe you.]
Roaming Robin: [Don't make things difficult for him; our time can't be wasted. There's an old saying, "Every piggy bank deserves a second bite."]
The Ranger Robin: [Perhaps we should take him in for now. If he can reform, that would be good; if not, we can use him as a throwing weapon against his followers.]
Archer: [Since the victim has spoken up...]
Justice Scott: "I will not yield to evil, quack, so as not to betray everyone's trust."
Archer: [Lady Ranger, I'd appreciate it if you could escort this... little bird back to reunite with Saber and the others. We'll try to finish this quickly and find the remaining robins and my unreliable Master.]
Justice Scott: "Quack! I'll prove my justice to you with my actions!"
After the wandering robin took the origami robin away, the group continued on their way.
Of course, Justice Scott is at the forefront, but his loyalty still needs to be assessed.
Soon, they saw a poster on the wall.
[Report about ███]
Regarding the numerous scandals recently exposed involving the well-known actress ███, all the major companies that have cooperated with her have responded by terminating their endorsement contracts with her and canceling the planned Dream Tour. However, some Dream Chasers organizations that previously received funding from her claim that the charity performances scheduled to be held in the wasteland area will still proceed as planned.
Mr. Otti, the head of the Clover family, stated that ███ had been invited by Clover to star in many classic works, and her songs were household names; almost every Pinocchio household had several everyday products endorsed by her. Mr. Otti expressed deep regret over her decline. It is understood that they have found a new replacement, who will take over the stage name ███. The second ███ will also present herself to the audience in a better light, continuing ███'s legendary story.
Mr. O'Connor believes that ███ is an excellent actress, singer, and artist, and her past work should not be negated because of the current scandal. However, according to the contract, the Shouxu Cao family has the right to reclaim the copyrights to many related products, including but not limited to the rights to use related music products, film and television copyrights, and the registered trademark of ███'s name. If ███ uses the above items for commercial purposes without the consent of the Shouxu Cao family, the Shouxu Cao family will have the right to take legal action against her.
Furthermore, a spokesperson for the veteran film company Grady Films announced at a press conference that, based on the negative impact of Ms. ███'s recent actions, Grady Films intends to terminate its partnership with her within 10 system days. The lead role in the film "The Cage," originally scheduled to begin filming at the end of the year, will be changed from ███ to ███, the second actress selected by the agency of First Fern.

Star: [The ███ above should be Miss Note.]
Xing: [I can't believe my name isn't listed here yet. Those evil capitalists!]
