Arknights' Lock of Heaven

“I don’t know Originium Arts,” Xia Yu shook her head upon hearing this, “and I’ve never learned it.”

"Really, not at all."

“Then just now…” Surtr said meaningfully.

"Do you know Originium Arts?" Xia Yu asked in return.

"No," she answered frankly.

"Hmm, that settles it."

After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Skadi, leaving Surtr alone, lost in thought.

Are they of the same kind...?

She looked at Levadin behind her.

Hmm, the so-called captain... is quite mysterious.

As they strolled through the streets, several blocks away, Amiya looked at Skyfire and the others with a serious expression.

"You're going to the volcano?"

"Sure, but you'll have to invite Mr. Xia Yu along!"

“But…” Eyjafjalla hesitated.

"But what?" the doctor then asked.

"Senior, didn't he really want to go to the music festival?" Eyjafjalla asked hesitantly, looking down.

“Yes, yes,” Skyfire chimed in, patting his chest. “The advisor has worked so hard at Rhodes Island, let him get some rest.”

"As a high-ranking sorcerer, I can protect Eyjafjalla and Provence."

282 Obsidian?

“It’s not a matter of whether I believe you or not, Miss Skyfire,” Amiya patiently explained, “this volcano really does have problems…”

"But..." Tianhuo was still somewhat puzzled.

She looked at the bustling music festival crowd on the street.

"If the volcano really erupts as Rhodes Island predicted..."

Skyfire frowned. "Then why is Siesta so calm right now?"

"It's 11 o'clock now. Did everyone have a perfect morning?"

Just as she was filled with doubt, the loudspeaker in the square started broadcasting on time.

"Enjoying a pleasant breakfast at Siesta, the afternoon is just around the corner."

"Today, let's invite Mr. Cronin, the assistant mayor of Siesta City and the disaster messenger of Siesta City, to explain Siesta City and Siesta Volcano to us."

“Amiya, look,” Skyfire said, pointing to the broadcast.

"This city has messengers of natural disasters."

"Welcome to Siesta City, where you'll find lush green mountains and clear waters, sunshine and gentle breezes, and our warm and welcoming citizens."

A man's voice came through the radio.

"It is precisely because of this rare and perfect natural environment that Siesta is committed to becoming the best tourist destination and bringing everyone the best summer holiday experience."

"How could a qualified messenger of natural disasters not see that a volcano is about to erupt?"

Skyfire frowned and said, "Amiya, it's not that I'm paranoid, but... this whole thing is just too illogical."

The broadcast continued.

"Speaking of which, we must mention our Siesta volcano. Many tourists who are not familiar with volcanoes may have questions about it. Could you explain it to them?"

The announcer started the conversation with her sweet voice.

"Okay. Please don't worry. Unlike the volcanoes you all know, there's not much mystery or danger about it. Siesta is our friend."

The male voice from before rang out again.

"I can vouch for this as a messenger of natural disasters, so please rest assured."

"As you all probably know, the development of Siesta City is inseparable from the Siesta volcano."

"Don't forget the natural disaster that narrowly escaped Siesta many years ago. It was because of the protection of the volcano that Siesta was not affected."

Upon hearing this, Skyfire turned to look at Amiya.

"Rhodes Island told me that Siesta Volcano is about to erupt, but where's the data? Where's the evidence?"

“Look, even the local messengers of natural disasters don’t think so.”

“Indeed,” Provence chimed in, “To be honest, I’ve been with Rhode Island for a long time and know we’re not an irresponsible company.”

"But this time... it's really too strange."

"They say the volcano is about to erupt, but they can't provide any data," Tianhuo continued. "And without even data, they confidently claim they can save the disaster with an idea that's considered a pipe dream."

“Amiya, I know Rhodes Island isn’t as simple as it seems on the surface. I’m not stupid.”

"But is it really true that you can't tell us even the slightest bit of extra information?"

Hearing this, Eyjafjalla, who was standing nearby, also looked over.

"For example, why would Rhodes Island believe that this volcano will erupt, especially when they can't provide any data?"

"It's clear that a professional natural disaster messenger has already vouched for it."

"Secondly, that plan to drain Originium particles to delay natural disasters... To be honest, Amiya, do you know how the industry evaluates this idea and the person who proposed it?"

"He must have taken too many drugs and his mind is not clear."

"To my knowledge, no country currently possesses this technology."

"Moreover, Rhodes Island believed the volcano would erupt, yet they still sent so many operators here for vacation..."

“This…” Amiya couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this.

“Miss Skyfire, I understand your concerns,” she sighed, “but as you said, you can’t understand our sources of information, nor can you understand our confidence.”

"I know you want an answer from me, but unfortunately, I cannot provide that answer."

"Because I know that even if I told you, you would think it's a fantasy."

At this point, Amiya grasped Skyfire's hand with a sincere expression, "But you can see for yourself."

"Use your expertise to determine whether this volcano will erupt."

"Then, let's see if Rhodes Island has the ability to solve the problem."

"Please trust Rhodes Island."

“I know, Amiya,” Skyfire sighed upon hearing this.

This matter is not big or small.

Even if we take it a step further, it's just a misjudgment, nothing serious. Once we conduct an on-site inspection and confirm that there are no problems, we can enjoy our hard-earned vacation.

However, it's not a small matter. If it really is a misjudgment, it will undoubtedly erode the trust these researchers have in Rhodes Island. Even if it's a random misjudgment, it won't necessarily lead to their immediate resignation, but it will weaken the operators' sense of belonging.

After all, the plan was too far-fetched, and current technology is far from capable of reaching that level.

"Of course I'm willing to trust Rhodes Island. After cooperating for so long, I've had a pretty comfortable time at Rhodes Island."

"I know what kind of people you are."

"But this kind of thing... is too much of a challenge to my common sense."

Tianhuo smiled wryly and said, "If you could produce some data to prove the existence of the volcano, I wouldn't be so suspicious. Even if you don't have any data, just a few short descriptions would be fine."

"We will make our own judgment."

"You've already confirmed that the volcano will erupt, yet you can't produce even a single piece of evidence... Did you receive this revelation from a prophet?"

Skyfire was just making a casual remark, but to his surprise, Amiya's face showed a thoughtful expression.

“Miss Skyfire, and also Miss Eyjafjalla and Miss Provence,” Amiya said solemnly after thinking for a while, “We must admit that human civilization knows very little about this world.”

There are too many things in the world that are beyond our comprehension.

“No, Amiya,” Skyfire and the others exclaimed in disbelief, “Don’t tell me Rhodes Island really does have a prophet hidden away?”

“A prophet… surely not,” Amiya smiled slightly, “but you will all witness his abilities.”

"It's right here in Siesta."

“If that’s the case,” Eyjafjalla, who had been listening quietly, spoke up, “If it’s you, Senpai…”

"I'm really looking forward to it."

She recalled the Originium Arts that Xia Yu had used in front of her.

I am an expert in this field, a genuine Doctor of Letania.

It's really impossible to tell what he's using.

Furthermore, with Amiya insisting that her senior go along... the answer is obvious.
