People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Tracy pursed his lips, and the fatigue in his expression deepened a little.

"Tell me, good news."

He asked with a heavy heart.

The Absolver bowed and said, "The dead souls gave the reason for their restlessness."

"The most irritable part of them has recently shown some unusual agitation."

Tresis narrowed his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Irritable? Balrog?"

"Yes, the Fire Demon. To be precise, the Royal Court Fire Demon." The Pardoner nodded.

Generally speaking, when the soul returns to the embrace of the Sarkaz souls, there will no longer be any difference between you and me, and the racial distinction will no longer be so obvious.

Of course, there are always exceptions. Some souls will be specially preserved due to special circumstances, or simply do not return to the souls.

For example, the soul fragments of the demon kings stayed on the black crown and became part of the mysterious black crown, which was constantly passed on with the demon king. Another example is the lich, they wove their souls into a ball of silk and hid it in a life box stored in another space, where there is no concept of time and space, so there is no aging and death. Therefore, most liches have immortal bodies.

The extinction of the Flame Demons and the Royal Court Flame Demons is a faded legend in the distant history, and its cause can be traced back to the era of the Second and Third Kazdel. After that, Kazdel was destroyed and rebuilt thousands of times, and their history has long been lost.

Tresis knew about the Court of Fire Demons, but as a young member of the Sarkaz, he had never actually seen a Fire Demon of the Court.

“Why are they agitated?”

"According to the answer given by the dead souls, one of their compatriots will be resurrected."

Resurrection, resurrection again!

Theresa is about to be resurrected, and the Royal Court Flame Demon is also about to be resurrected. Who will be the next one?

What happened to Terra? How come everyone wanted to be resurrected and could be resurrected!

You might as well tell me now that the Witch King will be resurrected, Sargon the King of Kings will be resurrected, the Nightmare Khan will be resurrected, and the legendary Creator will be resurrected too!

Feeling a sudden headache, Chairman Tracy rubbed his temples, only to feel a few strands of hair falling lightly with his movements.

My hair is falling out. It seems that I have been under too much pressure recently.

Back to the point, Tracy looked at the Pardoner with some confusion:

"How can this be considered good news? A resurrected Royal Court Flame Demon may not necessarily be controlled by the Military Committee, and may even be won over by that woman Kal'tsit. After all..."

Tracy didn't explain it here, but the Absolver could get what he meant.

After all, the power of the Demon King still belongs to Kal'tsit. And the Flame Demon Clan is well-known in history as a die-hard fan of the Demon King.

The last Flame Demon General of the Royal Court died in battle to protect the Demon King.

"That's true in theory. But Your Highness, this is a royal court-level fighter after all."

"Times have changed. He may have once been loyal to the Demon King, but his king at that time was an outstanding Sarkaz Demon King. What about the Demon King today?"

The pardoner smiled slightly:

"We are not without a chance. Moreover, even if we cannot get the help of this Royal Court Flame Demon, at least we cannot let our enemies get it, right?"

Tresis pondered for a moment and nodded: "A Sarkaz who has returned from history should be honored by the Sarkaz even if he is unwilling to be loyal to the Military Committee."

"Also, who accomplished his resurrection and what technology was used? This can also be used..." the Pardoner reminded.

He still had a lot to say. The power of a Fire Demon, the body of a Fire Demon, the memory of a Fire Demon, these are all great temptations for scholars and pardoners among the Sarkaz.

Tracy finally made up her mind.

He stood up, and the pardoner immediately stepped forward and recommended himself:

"Your Highness, please leave this matter to me..."

"Do not."

A direct refusal shattered the Pardoner's fantasy. The Pardoner, who looked like a dragon, raised his head and looked at Tracys, but saw a hint of mockery on Tracys' face.

The Regent raised his head and said:

"A resurrected royal court is worthy of my personal visit."

"Tell me where he is, Absolver!"

"So His Royal Highness the Regent wants to go there in person. That's fine (nmsl)."

The pardoner, with a somewhat stiff smile and veins throbbing on his forehead, spoke in dragon language and said,

"He's in Columbia, His Royal Highness the Regent."

PS: It's really uncomfortable to be on IV drip, especially with anti-inflammatory drugs. I feel sleepy when I'm on IV drip. I'm on IV drip for a while in the morning and another part in the afternoon. As a result, I sleep for a while at noon and another part in the afternoon. Everyone must take care of their health!

Chapter 178: Saria: He fell before I even used any strength

Rhein Life Sciences General Office, Tremont, Columbia, CT.

"I'll keep an eye on this matter."

Saria nodded to Parvis and watched the elder walk out of the office.

The matter of the Flame Demon Body was indeed a problem. Levi's request was reasonable, and Saria could only try her best to satisfy him within the scope of her authority.

Yes, unlike the original world line, this time, Saria not only knew about the existence of the Fire Demon incident, but even signed, approved, and appointed Levi to take over Parvis's project, shifting the management of Ifrit from the Structural Department to the Originium Life Department.

This was a decision she had to make.

Just like what Christen said in the original world line, every scientific research enterprise in Tremon has a close connection with the Colombian military. Whether the Fire Demon Project will happen does not depend on who is the governor at the time or who signed the research agreement. As long as the Colombian military is still interested in the power of the Fire Demon, the Fire Demon Project will definitely be promoted.

This time, because Christen was away in Kjerag, leading the Dome Research Station project that she had been dreaming of, she temporarily handed over the management of Rhine Life to Director Saria, with Muerseth and Yara assisting. Therefore, the one who truly led this Fire Demon Project was none other than Saria herself.

Refusal was impossible. No matter how powerful the scientific research enterprise was, it was still located on Tremont. As long as it still considered itself a Colombian enterprise, the Colombian military would have countless ways to force Rhine Life to accept this mission.

Saria deeply loves Rhine Life, and she will not risk Rhine Life's losses by refusing to implement the Fire Demon Plan. She will only do her best to control the plan in her own hands and reduce the possibility of accidents.

“Maybe if Kristen came, she would have the courage to directly refuse such a troublesome thing. But she may not really do it.”

Saria sighed.

It's too late to realize now that this is a troublesome task, to be honest.

She has put in a lot of effort to ensure that the Flame Demon Project can proceed smoothly, safely, and without accidents under her control.

These skills include, but are not limited to, dealing with troublesome tabloid reporters, dealing with gossip reporters who are trying to spy on private affairs, dealing with rival spies who are trying to spy on scientific research results, and dealing with inexplicable metal agents.

It was indeed a bit embarrassing to twist off someone's head. Even someone as strong as Saria rarely did such a thing that was tantamount to murder and arson. After all, no matter what, Colombia is still a society ruled by law!

But to be honest, that incident was actually a misunderstanding. The agent who called himself "Tin Man" had a lot of chatter with Saria, and his final request was to "terminate the Balrog Project."

It's not impossible to terminate the Fire Demon Project. Saria herself doesn't really think highly of such unethical experiments, but you have to come up with a plan. Terminating the Fire Demon Project means offending the Colombian military. Since the Melander Foundation wants to stop this, it can't just push all the costs onto Rhine Life, right?

But the "Tin Man" was silent as soon as he mentioned the plan. Saria was so smart that she immediately understood that the termination of the Balrog Project had nothing to do with the Melander Foundation and was simply the Tin Man's personal idea.

Of course, Saria could not agree to this. She did not even want to continue the conversation and wanted to leave immediately. But she did not expect that as soon as she stood up, the Tin Man held her shoulders, as if he was going to use force if the words did not work.

Who is Saria? The Rhine Boxing Champion, the champion of the Trimonte Women's Fighting Competition in Colombia, the best fighter among scientists, and the one with the highest scientific research achievements among fighting enthusiasts!

In order to get rid of the Tin Man's entanglement cleanly, Saria immediately turned sideways, turned her hands, locked his throat, and twisted it gently!

With this series of moves, even a 200-pound Victorian strongman would be knocked to the ground by her.

But what she didn't expect was that the twist, which she had deliberately weakened in order to prevent loss of life, still produced an unexpected effect.

It was difficult for Saria to describe the scene.

If she had to comment, she felt like she saw the operators of Nastie's Engineering Department tightening the screws.

With a slight twist, the entire tin man's head flew out like a screw. Before Saria could figure out what was going on, the tin man's body fell down.

Is it so silky?

Before Saria could be surprised, she smelled a particularly unpleasant odor. Looking down carefully, she saw that the connection between the tin man's neck and head was all black oil.

I can only say that Hol Haiya's sudden complaint really came true. The tin man's neck is really lubricated with tobacco oil.

Saria was a decent person. Seeing that she had accidentally given the Melander Foundation's big agent a hard time, she had no intention of fleeing the crime scene. She packed up the tin man's head and body in a box and carried it to the Melander Foundation.

The reception staff of the Melander Foundation was very puzzled at the time. What was the purpose of the acting general manager of Rhine Life suddenly coming to the Melander Foundation?

Saria dumped the loose parts in the box onto the ground, and a large pile of them made a clanging sound, which scared the people on the scene.

"Ms. Saria, is this a new invention of your Rhine Life?"

"No, this is your tin man." Saria said, "I'm sorry, but he had an accident. I sent him back. If the Melander Foundation wants to sue me, please send the subpoena to Rhine Life, and I will respond."

Everyone should be clear about the final result.

The Tin Man didn't die so easily, and he successfully replaced his body with one that hadn't been lubricated yet, and Saria was naturally not prosecuted for this.

But this incident was enough to make her realize that the Flame Demon incident might involve unexpected troubles.

Saria doesn't have the same wild imagination as Kristen, and most people think she is a reliable conservative. This also means that when faced with these troubles, she actually doesn't have a very good way to break through.

All she could do was to follow the established direction. While appeasing the researchers in Rhine Life who were quite dissatisfied with this, she insisted that Levi lead the Fire Demon Project and select the appropriate body to separate the Fire Demon fragments from Ifrit's body to reduce the pain suffered by the poor girl.

And this plan has now reached the most critical step.

As long as she finds a suitable body, the Fire Demon can be separated. At that time, she can directly throw the separated Fire Demon to the Colombian military and help Rhine Life get rid of this trouble completely.

But, where can I find a body?

"Sareya?"

A strange call woke Saria from her thoughts. Vaifan looked up at the table and saw Muirseth's water clone floating above the glass.

The lively water droplets outline the elf girl's every frown and smile, and the details are lifelike, just like a real person.

"What's wrong, Muirseth?" asked Saria.

Muirseth grinned and showed a cheerful smile:

"Saria, I was just thinking about Parvis' question just now."

"Why must the body be limited to humans?"

Saria frowned. "You mean... Yes, indeed, if it is an animal, there are too many animals with stronger physical fitness than humans, and it is not difficult to find them."

Most importantly, animals obviously don't present any "sacrifice issues" that Saria doesn't like. Colombia's white left complex is not serious now, and there will be no mindless vegetarian movement to prevent Saria from hunting a powerful beast of burden or tusk.

"That's a good idea. Why didn't you tell Parvis just now?"

Saria asked curiously.

Muirseth stuck out his tongue and said, "I just thought of it."

This is what I don't want to say.

Mulseth was somewhat wary of Parvis, as the head of the structural department gave her a bad impression in some ways. Although he was a colleague of Mulseth's since the early days of Rhine, Mulseth had never really understood him.

Seeing that Muerseth was unwilling to say more, Saria could only shrug:

"Then I will convey this plan directly to Director Levi."

"Yeah!" Muirseth nodded, then quickly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, Saria, there's a letter from Christen."

Saria paused: "Does she have any other plans?"

"She said that Prime Minister Ernst came to Columbia, apparently to look for his secretary. Although he said he didn't need Rhine Life's help, he still wanted to inform you in advance."

"What I mean is, if you happen to see it, you can help keep an eye out for it."

Saria nodded: "This is also as it should be."

On the other side, Columbia, Tremont, the quarantine point into the city.

The last time he came here, Ernst was still surprised at the speed of change of this avenue, but when he arrived this time, he found that a fork road had already been built here.

Go straight to the center of Tremont, where the Science Council and security agencies of the city of scientific research are located, and where the annual Tremont Investment Promotion Conference is also held.

Turn right to the Science Park, which is the incubator for many emerging scientific research companies in Tremon. Many well-known scientists in Terra were born there, and many technologies that benefit the people were invented there. However, large companies such as Rhine Life and Beach Umbrella are no longer located in that park.

They have their own industrial parks on the left turn of the avenue, which are larger, more complete in supporting facilities and better in environment. This is the special preference of capital for these cash cows.

However, standing at the fork in the road, what really attracted Ernst's attention was not Tremon, whose appearance had changed again, but a large robot standing at the intersection with a majestic appearance like a Gundam.

"Welcome everyone to watch the latest masterpiece of Miloqi Mingdeng!"

"Super Robot Dulin-258!"
