After a brief discussion, Ivignad quickly led the Golden Law Guards to the Heidenschwil region, where the house search and negotiations were carried out simultaneously.

And Helinmart will continue to stay in Vidunia. She will screen out some stubborn elements and soldiers who want to return home in the Heidenschwill Legion. They will be bought by the nobles of the former Heidenschwill region at a reasonable price.

And Qiao Yelan was preparing for his own trip to Ursus.

"PhD."

"Why did you come here in person?"

"There are some things I must report."

There was no extra expression on Kal'tsit's face.

Qiao Yelan nodded, and Kal'tsit pushed his wheelchair towards a secluded room.

"Kazdel's preparations are still proceeding as planned, but the [Artificial Demon King] plan has encountered a bottleneck. We are currently unable to create a [Chimera] larvae that can carry the power of multiple races."

“How did Quesa Tushta succeed back then?”

"According to his records, the reason why he couldn't bear the power was because his body was too young, so his choice was..."

Kelsey hesitated.

"——Reshape the grown 'body' into a [Chimera]."

"Only animal experiments are allowed - I don't mind having a bird with the devil's sword in its mouth."

Qiao Yelan flatly rejected this action. He knew with his knees how many children and families the Pardoner had killed in this matter. He didn't care, but Babel Tower could not afford the risk of this action being leaked out, because it would have a devastating blow to its current schedule.

The butterfly effect caused by the death of Herhunzollern is already enough to give me a headache, so it’s better to avoid causing any trouble at this time.

"Yes."

"Anything else?"

"Considering that Kazdel will be given to Tracys in the future, I plan to restart the land ship [Rhodes Island] as the core of Theresa and Babel in the future. For this purpose, I have informed the director of the Rembit region, Klushel, and she has begun to repair and transform Rhodes Island."

Qiao Yelan nodded. This was indeed a good idea.

"In addition, PRTS is overseeing the construction of a new full-body life support protection system for you, which will be delivered soon after completion."

"PRTS?"

"It is an artificial intelligence program that we have put into use in the RemBitto region. It currently maintains the automated production of all of Babel's Originium mines and factories in the region, saving us a large amount of human and management resources. The operation of Rhodes Island will also be handed over to it."

"Developed by Babel?"

Qiao Yelan repeated it, his voice still calm, without any emotion in it.

"Yeah...what's wrong?"

"fine."

The man shook his head, not revealing his surprise and confusion.

In the letters he left for himself, he never mentioned any artificial intelligence program.

But for something so important, there was no way he didn't leave himself some explanation - from what Kal'tsit said, it could be proved that this artificial intelligence was already fully mature and even in stable use, so before he lost his memory last time, it should have at least entered the late stage of research and development or even the internship stage.

But there was not a single word in the letter.

This is completely unconscionable.

“Is the development cycle of PRTS long?”

"Not long. We 'originally' had similar development experience and even had prototype samples. After your last hibernation, due to the full implementation of the plan, I could no longer afford to process such a terrifying amount of intelligence, so I chose this technology for redevelopment."

Kal'tsit emphasized the two syllables on the word.

Qiao Yelan nodded slightly, he already understood.

[Originally] it does not refer to the Tower of Babel, but to the civilization it represents.

This answered his question.

"Did you bring what I wanted?"

"This is the latest life-support device. It was originally used in the [Artificial Demon King] project. I specially adjusted it."

"Okay, now we have to wait for Kosice to come."

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

"I thought you were going to ask me to keep helping."

"If you can avoid taking shortcuts, then don't do it. They will be in control of this country for decades to come. How to judge others and how to see through disguises are things they need to practice on their own."

Qiao Yelan said to Kosice with a smile.

"Then it is time to fulfill our bargain, Your Excellency the Grand Duke."

Kosice snorted coldly and touched the machine the other party brought, which she could not understand at all.

"How can a body be so inconvenient for me? I have already prepared a spare body, so you don't have to worry about it."

Before she finished her words, the woman's body fell limply, and a black aura swirled up and penetrated into Qiao Yelan's arms.

[Damn it, why does it feel like your body's rejection of Originium has increased compared to before? I want to feel oppression and discomfort even when I am living here.]

"After all, Originium disease is still an incurable disease. I don't want to die before fulfilling my dream."

Qiao Yelan raised his hand and didn't feel anything unusual.

"How about it?"

Kal'tsit asked a little nervously.

"No problem, it's not the first time."

The man waved his hand.

"Next, I will take Kosice to Ursus. Vidunia and Kazdel will be handed over to you. You don't have to do much. Just ensure the flow of supplies and let them do what they want."

"Okay - it's freezing cold in Ursus now. I brought some warm clothes. In addition, the two teams of Scout and Ace have replenished their supplies and personnel. Theresa also sent Ascalon to protect you closely."

The expressionless Sarkaz walked out, bowed to Qiao Yelan, and returned to the shadows.

Qiao Yelan nodded. He was the one who specifically requested this person.

Unlike Logos, Ascalon is not a naive young person. She is an excellent spy who is proficient in stealth and assassination. Even in head-on combat, she is not inferior to the current Logos.

And this time when he went to Ursus, he really needed such a person by his side——

Especially when he has to keep Kosice attached to his body.

Chapter 34: A Corner of History

[This is the first time I've seen such a strong Sarkaz. The little sissy next to you before didn't seem to be as strong as her - it seems that your power in Kazdel has developed very well? ]

"Of course, Babel Tower is a chamber of commerce rather than a country. We don't have a systematic way or venue to train the army. Are there any better mercenaries than the Sarkaz?"

[In the future, I should also need a team of mercenaries. ]

"No problem. As long as they can afford the money, many Sarkaz will be willing to be qualified fighters. I will make sure to prepare more funds for you in this regard."

Kosice closed his mouth with satisfaction.

Everything was arranged. Qiao Yelan nodded to Kal'tsit. Askalon behind him stepped forward and pushed Qiao Yelan away.

Kal'tsit spoke softly only after the sound of the wheelchair pressing against the floor faded away.

"Mon3tr"

*roar of joy*

The mechanical monster fell from Kal'tsit's spine and transformed into a terrifying combat weapon.

"Put this in and be alert to prevent the opponent from launching a sudden attack."

Mon3tr carefully placed Koschei's body, which had collapsed on the ground, into the life support device.

As the device started up, what Kal'tsit was worried about did not happen.

Everything was working normally, and it was obvious that, as she said herself, Kosice didn't care about this mere body.

Kal'tsit looked at the lines of data appearing and nodded slightly. Kosice's skills were still at the same point. Not to mention improvements, even a safety lock had not been installed.

"This body can be used at least once... so that things can be done under Kosice's identity and name."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief. Qiao Yelan's fifty-year-long plan was worth it. They finally got what they wanted.

Fifty years ago, Qiao Yelan gave this technology to Koschei so that she could create a more perfect body. Since then, he has always supported her, thus lowering the other party's vigilance and starting to use this technology developed by the Tower of Babel.

At that time, Qiao Yelan didn't actually need the other party to possess him for protection. This was just a foreshadowing for today's actions.

Sure enough, when he proposed the possessed bodyguard mission again, Kosice, who already felt that he was at a disadvantage in the transaction, agreed immediately.

So now, Babel has obtained a complete body of Kosice that has been publicly displayed to the world. No one will doubt that when this body stands up and gives orders, there is actually another person inside.

Everyone knows that the [Immortal Black Snake] could turn into anyone, but no one would have thought that someone else could turn into the [Immortal Black Snake].

The technique of transferring consciousness into the body is not Kosice's unique skill.

At least, Kal'tsit herself is already used to this kind of thing.

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

As the convoy moved deeper into the north, the temperature dropped sharply and the roads became bumpy.

"Ursus' infrastructure is still so bad."

[It’s already good. The ground is frozen solid now. It’s been a month or two since we started. We should have only walked half of the distance by now.]

Kosice is already used to this kind of thing.

Qiao Yelan was too lazy to discuss road infrastructure issues with such an economic idiot - perhaps all the nobles of Ursus were guys like Kosche, so as the largest empire on the Terra continent, it just appeared bloated and tired.

After several days of bumps, the road became smooth again. At this time, without Kosice's reminder, Qiao Yelan understood that their destination was approaching.

After all, Ursus didn’t matter anymore, and the roads near the imperial capital were still carefully repaired.

He looked through the glass at the Holy Eagle Castle in the distance.

"Compared to decades ago, it's much more prosperous now."

[Vladimir the Great's victory brought him countless supplies and wealth from Casimir, Leitania, Gaul, and Victoria - he really deserves to be called the Great.]

There was a rare level of respect in Kosice's voice.

"You admire him?"

[Why not? He expanded the territory of Ursus, promoted the reform of serfdom, and established an invincible Ursus army. Although he failed to win the final battle, he could be said to have won his entire life.]

[It can be said that his achievements in just a few decades as an emperor have surpassed mine. Although I am an immortal, there is no doubt that at least in terms of my contribution to Ursus, I am indeed not as good as him. ]

Winning all your life?

Qiao Yelan chuckled and shook his head, not arguing with Kosice.

Only two people in the world knew that Vladimir's life was a failure because he lost the most important war of his life - of course, now only one person knew it.

When Vladimir was still the crown prince, he vowed to change his homeland, turning the bloated land into a vast country, turning the scattered nobles into a cohesive force, and spreading the power of Ursus to the entire Terra.

He's only one step away.

He needed a victory to destroy a country, draining away the wealth accumulated by a country over hundreds of years, so that he could gain the approval of the nobles to abolish serfdom - by then, the entire Ursus would be reborn!

In order to do this, he used all his wisdom, all his trump cards, all his accumulation, and even betrayed his oath to Qiao Yelan, squeezing out the maximum strength he could to do this.

Then he failed.

In the Battle of Blood Peak, Dayan, Ursus, and Dongguo all claimed that they had achieved their strategic goals. However, after this long and bloody ordeal, it was not just Dongguo that was crushed by the war.

A year after the end of the Ukrainian-Dongnan War, Vladimir died of illness, and in just a few months, his once invincible Ursus army was completely divided. The rebels even besieged the Holy Eagle Castle, trying to control the crown prince who had just ascended the throne. The legions that were once stationed in Casimir's occupied area had to abandon the seized land and return to serve the king.

Everything he had ever brought to Ursus was gone.

Victory was shattered by peace, glory was tarnished by rebellion, and majesty was stripped of death.

Ursus once again returned to the state it was when Vladimir was still a crown prince - the state institutions were not functioning properly, the nobles all had ulterior motives, the burden of militarism became a huge mountain weighing on the finances, and slavery was dragging down the country's pace day by day.
