People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Kjerag already has professionals in this area, doesn't he?

[Back to Kjerag’s things to do]

【New one】

[Contact Nasti, Levi, and Safar. ]

The resurrected Fire Demon is a perfect conscious entity that Levi cut out from the souls of the Sarkaz through the Originium. He is the most direct product of "resurrection".

Levi, a master in the field of Originium Life Sciences, is the person who has gone the furthest that Ernst has ever seen in studying the impact of Originium on life and whether such impact can be manipulated artificially. He is also the undisputed pioneer in this land today.

And Nastia, the banshee, is an expert at playing the suona. After figuring out the true meaning of Quesatusta's resurrection, perhaps she will have to be relied upon to send the "white-horned devil" away with joy.

From how to revive, what happens after resurrection, to how to carry the resurrected person away perfectly, this is a one-stop service, thoughtful and considerate, you are guaranteed to be satisfied!

Kjerag's "bug exterminator" team, assemble!

Chapter 462 Rhodes Island: That Man, That Door, and Those Who Watch

Corridor, Rhode Island.

Ascalon walked down the corridor with a somewhat dissatisfied look on his face.

"Kal'tsit has really become more and more dictatorial recently. What reason does she have to restrict my actions?"

"SWEEP was established to ensure the safety of Rhodes Island, to prevent His Highness' tragedy from happening again, and to eliminate all those who may have dissenting opinions, no longer agree with Rhodes Island's ideals, and may pose a threat to Rhodes Island. I was never her subordinate, so what reason did she have to ask me to 'suspend all actions'?"

Kulushiel, who was following beside her, listened to the complaints of the former Babel Tower Assassin Master in a timid manner, not daring to speak.

How could I dare to say anything? I'm just a little blood demon who doesn't even understand the witchcraft of my own clan. Who would understand what you are saying to me?

Besides, isn't this topic getting more and more dangerous? The leaders of the Rhode Island Department of Internal Affairs and the Rhode Island Department of Medical Affairs are in conflict. Are we going to have a civil war again?

What did that sentence say?

Oh yes, Sarkaz can be divided infinitely!

Koluchil was already sweating profusely. To be honest, if there was any effect, she would like to inconvenience herself right now and let Ascalon talk to her about whether she really liked drinking motor oil.

At least on this issue, he was the sensitive one. If Ascalon continued to talk like this, Rhodes Island would have to repeat the song "Super Sensitive" on repeat.

My new defense system can't withstand the sudden attack of a disciple directly taught by Tracy.

But Lucille pursed her lips, feeling that she couldn't continue listening like this.

She should do something...well, it's probably impossible to do anything, but at least, she should say something.

Mustering up her courage, she looked up at Ascalon and whispered:

"That...Askalon?"

Askalon glanced sideways, and his cold, condescending gaze gave people a strong sense of oppression.

As she hummed softly in her throat, "Hmm?", Kulushil's body was also shocked!

Your Highness Theresa, what sin have I committed?

After silently praying for the protection of the former demon king's spirit in heaven, Kluchil mustered up a little courage and asked carefully:

"Ascalon, since you have a problem with Kal'tsit, why don't you just go and talk to her about it?"

"I think that if there is a conflict, it is best to make it clear in advance. If it is a misunderstanding, then resolve it. If it is a conflict, then resolve it early. It is always better than saying nothing and letting it slowly escalate in the end..."

Ascalon nodded:

"you're right."

She glanced at the corridor and asked,

"What do you think I'm doing now?"

Klushier's expression was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly reacted.

This road, it seems, seems, perhaps, probably, leads to the medical department...

Klushel clasped her hands together and retreated in a prayer posture:

"Well, if that's the case, then I don't have to go with you, right?"

"You have to go."

Askalon Road,

"Not only you, I also called Logos."

logos?!

Koluchil felt like her breathing was about to stop. Her fragile blood demon body was barely comparable to that of Filin. How could she withstand such stimulation?

She finally understood that Ascalon was not going to find Kal'tsit to "talk things out", he was going to force her to abdicate!

I...Is it too late for me to quit now? I don't have any other intentions, I just suddenly want to discuss with Warfarin about the different ways to drink motor oil.

What? Warfarin doesn't drink this?

It’s okay. Maybe she will drink blood so much soon that she will feel sick at the sight of blood.

Unfortunately, before Klushel could even start to retreat, the sound of the drum was replaced by the graceful and magnetic voice of the banshee:

"Kulushil, and Ascalon, you guys arrived first?"

Logos came from another corridor, wearing the uniform of an elite operator of Rhodes Island. When he saw Korciel and Ascalon, he put away the "Chronicles of the Kingdoms of Ursula - The Legend of King Arthur" in his hand and nodded to the two of them.

"Ascalon, it's not your style to go looking for Kal'tsit in such a grand manner. Did something happen?"

"No, nothing happened."

Ascalon shook his head.

"Nothing happened in Rhode Island that warranted SWEEP's vigilance and action. Everything is normal. Asking you to come was just my personal decision."

Logos raised her eyebrows, and a look of surprise appeared on the face of the young Banshee Lord, which was extremely rare.

"As a decision of [Ascalon]?"

"As a decision of Ascalon."

Ascalon nodded.

Logos turned the bone pen: "Can you tell me what that is?"

Ascalon fell silent. Just when Logos was about to speak and skip the topic, she opened her lips again:

"I would like to apply for an off-ship assignment."

The sweat on Koluchil's forehead slid down, and the bone pen in Logos' hand stopped turning.

For the second time today, a look of undisguised astonishment appeared on the Banshee Lord's face.

"why?"

This is actually a meaningless question. When Ascalon made this decision, asking why would not change her mind. For the banshee, every word has meaning, so when this doubt came out subconsciously, Logos immediately changed the language to something more meaningful:

"Where?"

Ascalon took a deep breath:

"Shelagh."

logos frowned.

Kjerag, this name was not unfamiliar to him. Rhodes Island had visited Kjerag several times before, and now, the destination of this land ship was also the snowy country.

But Logos did not understand Ascalon's motives. Kjerag was indeed a good place. During the short time he stayed there, Logos met Nastie, a royal court demon who had left the valley. From her, Logos learned a lot about the world he had never known.

This made him more determined in his thoughts - the royal court that was established for protection in the past has now become a shackle on the Sarkaz. Those high-ranking royal court nobles believe that the survival and prosperity of the Sarkaz cannot be separated from the royal court, but they have never thought that they are actually lying in the upper city of Kazdel, pretending to be Victorians and Leitanians to hold cocktail parties and enjoy elegant music, and they cannot do without the Sarkaz!

This extremely special male banshee lord is going to blow the elegy for not some powerful hero, nor some respectable demon king, nor some insects in the royal court!

What he is going to blow is the elegy called [Royal Court Order]!

This was what he had gained from Kjerag, but what about Ascalon?

Logos remembered that when Rhodes Island first arrived in Kjerag, Ascalon had not even been recalled.

After Her Highness Theresa was assassinated, Ascalon went into self-exile until she had killed all the assassins, all those who participated in the assassination, all the members of the Tower of Babel who wanted to bring Amiya back to Kazdel after the assassination, and all the old friends she knew who had different opinions, and then she was called back by Kal'tsit.

Logos actually disagrees with Kal'tsit's behavior, which is too cruel and hypocritical. She said in a high-sounding manner, "We can't let her continue to immerse herself in the past. It was the war that shaped Ascalon into what she is now. We don't want to see her become a weapon. Even if she has become like this now, the weapon should have value beyond being wielded." In fact, what she did was to let Ascalon serve as the director of SWEEP.

SWEEP, the Special Elimination Protocol, is a completely independent classified organization responsible for preventing assassinations, infiltrations, sabotage, and carrying out covert operations against Rhodes Island, using the above methods to solve problems.

Same as before.

How can I describe this behavior? If I have to make an analogy, it is like putting a patient who has finally recovered from mental illness into a mental hospital as a nurse, or forcibly sending a soldier with PTSD to the battlefield.

You can say that this is a helpless measure due to staff shortage, and Logos only expressed his disagreement but did not really oppose anything.

But at least, he didn't agree.

In fact, Askalon never had the power to choose.

Now, Ascalon suddenly said that he wanted to apply for an off-ship assignment. If you ask Logos whether he supports it or not, he will definitely support it.

This was the first time he had heard Ascalon say in person what she wanted to do, ever since he had boarded the ship of Rhodes Island as the child of the Banshee, Alphanil, and met Ascalon, and until now, when he was serving in Rhodes Island as an elite operator, Logos.

He just didn't understand a little.

Why choose Kjerag?

With Ascalon's talent and ability, plus her superb anti-reconnaissance and assassination skills, although she is reluctant to admit it, her career direction should be to become a mercenary like [Black Steel International], or even worse, to go to Casimir, which Rhodes Island just left, and become a [Competition Knight], right?

Well, in the past, Logos would definitely not have thought about Casimir's athletic knighthood at all. He could not imagine what kind of heroic demeanor Ascalon would display on the field when he became an athletic knight, nor what kind of ghostly legends he would leave behind.

But now...

How should I put it? The International Games significantly raised the Terran people's, including him, awareness of the value of knightly athletic events.

If the current Logos were to think about it, he would even have to doubt whether Askalon can win the championship.

Ahem, I’ve gone a little off topic.

Logos hadn't asked yet. He was considering his words and sentences, hoping to achieve the simplest and most efficient way of communicating with Ascalon, and the one that would least cause Ascalon to object. But his doubtful gaze had already been cast towards Ascalon, and the meaning was self-evident:

"Why go to Kjerag? That place is well protected by giant beasts and is now thriving. Do you, Ascalon, have any interest in watching the beasts of burden baring their teeth?"

Askalon did not answer Logos' question immediately. She stopped abruptly, then took a step back and stood in the shadow at the corner of the corridor. She leaned her head out slightly and looked towards the end of the corridor.

There is a door there.

There is a person in front of the door.

The man was dressed in white and was squatting in front of the door. He didn't get up for a long time.

Ernst felt that he should re-evaluate the business situation of Rhodes Island. When he arrived on the island, he praised Rhodes Island for its recent prosperity and the newly renovated corridors. However, as soon as he came out of the control center and planned to walk around, he tripped over this door.

Looking closely, I found that the door was still broken.

Hey, that doesn't make sense. There isn't even an electrician in Rhode Island. How can they not fix a broken door?

Or was it that the Landspeeder was too big and was missed during the repair? That shouldn't be the case! Ernst had walked all the way, brushed the walls, wiped the floors, and the other doors were all in good condition. It didn't make sense that this door was missed, right?

This is so close to the control center! How dare you leave your unfinished project next to the government office building? Who are you trying to fool by leaving it here?

He thought again and felt something was wrong.

What’s going on? Could it be that old lynx Kal’tsit deliberately left a broken door next to the control center just to play misery on me?

Considering how scheming the old lynx was, it was hard for Ernst not to suspect that this was the truth.

After all, she hid a lot of things. She hid the truth about the three-nation coalition's siege of Kazdel, and then hid Amiya and Carters. Why could she recognize the "true identity" of Shining?

I can only say that cats really need too much love because they don’t trust people at all.

What? I'm a feline too? That's fine.

A white horse is not a horse, and a cheese snow leopard is certainly not a cat!

Regardless of whether this is a "little foreshadowing" left by Kal'tsit, Ernst will not tolerate it.

He raised his foot and kicked the broken door where it was stuck.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound from the iron door. Ernst squatted down with a grin and rubbed his feet.

Damn, that was a mistake. I shouldn’t have used so much force on the iron gate!
