Man on the ark, forced to become king

Following such an important figure might not be any worse than the Guard Bureau, right?

And Chen...

No wonder she usually keeps a low profile, yet she possesses so many unseen skills; it turns out she has such a powerful background.

The fact that Mr. Lin took a liking to her must be related to her saving Chen this time, right? Otherwise, what qualifications would a lowly police officer like her have to catch the eye of such a big shot?

"If you feel okay, come with me. Your medical reports will be destroyed, and everyone who has been in contact with you will forget about it."

Lady Wenyue's words surprised Jiu even more.

Who exactly is Mr. Lin?

Just because he values ​​her, should Longmen cover up the truth for her?

Driven by curiosity, she jumped off the hospital bed and nodded emphatically: "It's ready, Madam!"

------------------

"teacher?"

In the Golden Tree Courtyard, Chen opened his eyes, stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling for a few seconds, and then turned his head to see Lin Lu standing at the door.

Wei Yanwu and Lady Wenyue had already left; they needed to investigate the Leitanian people and didn't have time to linger. Lin Lu had nothing to do, and there was no other news from Nian's side, so she simply stayed here, waiting for Chen to wake up so she could comfort him in time.

"Ah, I'm here."

Hearing the voice behind her, Lin Lu turned around and gave a gentle smile.

"How do you feel now?"

"Very, very good..."

Chen stretched his arms blankly, then suddenly remembered something and looked up abruptly: "Nine, how is Nine?"

"The Royal Guard officer with you? Oh, her name is Nine. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

Hearing that Jiu was alright, Chen's tense body relaxed.

The situation was urgent; Jiu rushed over and shielded her from the explosion. If anything had happened because of that, then…

"In terms of physical condition alone, you are in much worse shape than her. Do you know how reckless you were this time? Fortunately, you still had some sense of propriety. If the accumulated Crimson Sky Evil Qi in your body had been any more severe, I would have had to bring your ashes back with me."

"I had no choice. If I hadn't done it that way, how could I have held on until you came..."

Chen pouted, looking a little aggrieved.

She didn't want to either; who would risk their life?

But in that situation, if we hadn't taken the risk, we probably would have been beaten to death on the spot by those lunatics. What other choice did we have but to go all out?

Even so, it was fortunate that Jiu shielded her from it.

"Don't you ever think things through when you're on a mission?"

Lin Lu poked at her dragon horns with her finger, looking utterly helpless.

"Do you think you're so great? Knowing that two police officers had already sacrificed their lives there, you two stupid people still ran over?"

"Ugh, stop poking!"

Chen blushed and burrowed under the covers, her voice coming through.

"A mission... a mission is a mission, how can we wait!"

"Why not? The investigation mission isn't about sending you to your deaths."

"..."

The little dragon buried himself under the covers and didn't speak for a long time before finally peeking out again.

"Teacher, is Jiu really alright?"

"It's not that there's none at all."

Lin Lu thought about it and decided to tell her the truth, since she would find out sooner or later anyway.

"The physical injuries are nothing, but her arm was cut by a fragment of Originium, and the preliminary diagnosis is that she has been infected with Oripathy."

"what?!"

Chen's expression changed drastically, and his anxiety was palpable.

"Oripathy! How... how is she now?"

"I told you it's nothing, when are you going to change this impatient nature?"

Seeing that she was about to jump up, Lin Lu reached out and pressed down on her shoulder, feeling even more helpless.

"It's just a mild case of Oripathy, nothing serious. Just because Lungmen can't do it doesn't mean I can't. I've already asked Lady Fumizuki to pass on my message that she will be a member of the Golden Tree from now on, she just won't be able to continue working at the Guard Bureau."

"They even have a solution for Oripathy?"

Chen's mouth dropped open in utter shock.

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem that hard to accept.

With his teacher being so powerful and possessing so many amazing spells he'd never heard of before, perhaps a mild case of Oripathy really wasn't a big deal for him.

Anyway...

Since the Golden Tree is willing to accept her, then Jiu won't be homeless, which is already a good thing.

Fortunately, the teacher wasn't like that old guy Wei Yanwu. Could it be that Longmen, which prides itself on being inclusive, can't even accept a mildly infected person?

Old fox, cold-blooded and ruthless!

Thinking of this, Chen's dissatisfaction with Wei Yanwu grew even stronger.

"This is what you want."

Babel Tower - Reception Room

With the deal struck, Theresa didn't hesitate and immediately decided to take action on the spot.

Although the announcer's current life form is quite special, the power of the Demon King is precisely his nemesis, and he has no room to struggle in front of Theresa.

Before long, Theresa had two jet-black crystals in her hands that looked like Originium crystals—in fact, they were Originium crystals, but they had been modified by the Demon King's power into magical artifacts that could store memories.

"Two? How come there are two?"

Without any hesitation, he held the two crystals in his hand and asked a question out of curiosity.

"This is the part of his memory related to magic and the puppet technology he developed with the help of divine power. You'll have to find the more specific details yourselves. Human memory isn't like books that are neatly categorized, and I can't categorize it too clearly either."

"That's it."

That seems to make sense?

Since she already had the item, Theresa saw no need to deceive anyone, and Nian didn't dwell on it too much.

It only takes a little time, it's nothing.

"Now that His Majesty the Demon King has completed his part, we should also fulfill our promise. Why don't we set off for the Golden Tree immediately?"

"Heading to the Golden Tree?"

Theresa frowned, sensing that things weren't quite what she had expected.

Does that kind of blessing require going to the base of that golden tree?

“That’s right. There aren’t many restrictions on ordinary blessings, but the kind you’re seeking must be granted by Lin Lu herself under the Golden Tree.”

Nian nodded, agreeing with Theresa's idea.

In fact, she didn't know much about blessing, but since Lin Lu said so, she could just follow her lead.

"That's a bit troublesome. If both Kal'tsit and I leave, then we'll need some time to make arrangements."

"It's alright, the Golden Tree's promise is valid indefinitely, and you can go there to redeem it at any time."

It was up to Theresa to decide when to go and receive the blessing; Nian didn't care at all, since neither she nor her sister would stay here any longer to wait.

Compared to other things, the technical data I just received is undoubtedly more important.

Therefore, after making the promise, Nian directly had Xi put the crystal containing the memories into the painting, and then left with this spoils of war.

"Hey, you silly cat over there, let's go."

Silly, silly cat?!

Kal'tsit was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening, and her blood rushed to her head, causing her blood pressure to spike.

Those two inhuman old bastards!

"I will go to the Golden Tree with Your Highness, so you two need not worry about it."

Suppressing her inner rage, Kal'tsit twitched her ears, pretending not to hear the address.

Chapter 134 Year: I'm Going to Get It for Free

In the end, Kal'tsit left with Nian.
