People in Terra, governing a weird little country

It can be said that Amiya is too kind and tolerant, so she is willing to be Liu Chan and put Kal'tsit in the position of Zhuge Kongming, a doctor in name but a foster mother in reality. Otherwise, the power she can control in Rhodes Island is probably much greater than that of Enya when the Great Elder was still there. After all, who can stay in Rhodes Island after the collapse of the Tower of Babel and accept a little girl of a foreign race who is so young that she may have to call some of the island's Sarkaz ancestors to lead them? Who wouldn't want to repay the special treatment of the late emperor?

Well, of course, this is also the reason why Kal'tsit cannot be as good as Zhuge Kongming.

After learning Amiya's attitude, Ernst asked about Kal'tsit's attitude:

"Kal'tsit, what about you? Do you have any objections?"

"I have no opinion."

Kal'tsit replied. But Ernst looked into Kal'tsit's green eyes that were staring at him, and he really didn't think she had no objection.

"You really have no objection?"

Kelsey gritted her teeth and nodded:

"I agreed to it of my own free will."

That was really voluntary. After all, Ascalon was fine, and Logos couldn't be blamed, but who knew that even Klosir, an engineer with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could give her a "surprise"! They forced her to abdicate, and they didn't leave her any other options except to release her! There was only one choice in the multiple-choice question, and she could only choose this one anyway. Isn't that voluntary?

And you, Snow Leopard, you are still pretending to be stupid in front of me. Although I have expected that there will be such a day when you, who collects illustrated books, will sooner or later collect all the pictures of our Rhodes Island, but I never thought that you would be so heavyweight right from the start!

Do you dare to say that when you were squatting in front of that iron gate in Rhodes Island and showing your teeth to me, you didn't have any plans in mind?

Anyway, even if Ascalon left, Kal'tsit still had Red. The agent chosen by the Wolf Lord was powerful, extremely talented, and very simple-minded. He had no other thoughts except serving Rhodes Island. With a little training, his ability would not be inferior to Ascalon. But Kal'tsit was still afraid!

She was afraid that Ernst would secretly target something again next time.

Ascalon, the son of the storm, the apprentice of Tracys, even though he was a half-blood Sarkaz, she cherished him to an astonishing degree. What would happen next time?

Blood Demon? Warfarin? Klothir?

Or a banshee? Nastia, a banshee in the royal court, is not enough, and Logos, the banshee lord, is also needed?

What's more, what is Kjerag missing now? A shapeshifter? Gloria? A Whiplash? Or a Cyclops?

Oh my God, Kal'tsit doesn't even dare to think about it!

After learning that Ernst intended to promote the establishment of the Sarkaz nation, Kal'tsit was worried day and night. She was worried that Ernst would not succeed, but also worried that Ernst would succeed.

Just as Ernst said, now is a rare window of opportunity for Terra to change its order. If the Sarkaz want to establish a country peacefully, and Kazdel wants to obtain recognition from the countries of Terra, realize the normalization of the country and the nation, and formally integrate into the [New Order (New Order: Summit of Nations)] that Terra is about to establish, then now is the best opportunity.

If the Sarkaz's path to nation-building still fails under favorable conditions such as Ernst's mediation, Victoria's acquiescence, Casimir's support, and the wait-and-see attitude of various countries, then the process will only become more difficult in the future, and even... there may be no future, at least no peaceful future.

But Kal'tsit was worried. If the Sarkaz really established a nation in peace, it would mean that the countless Sarkaz scattered across this land would once again have a backbone. And these Sarkaz had not forgotten the deep-rooted national hatred and family feuds, nor had they gotten rid of their bloodthirsty and murderous mercenary temperaments, nor had they cut off the whispers of the Sarkaz souls that came from their blood. If they gathered together, would they really not cause the next incident?

Kelsey had seen this happen before. Ernst might not know about it, but she knew it very well. Neither of the twins, Tracy and Theresa, who were on both sides of the Kazdel Civil War wanted the war to break out.

Between the two of them, one chose his own ideal path and then went to inspire more Sarkaz, while the other chose the ideal path of the majority and was pushed forward.

In fact, the Gemini have never had any fundamental differences. The differences are about the Sarkaz, the history of the Sarkaz and the reality of the Sarkaz, the ideals of the Sarkaz and the future of the Sarkaz, the souls of the Sarkaz and the creatures of the Sarkaz.

These differences are easy to say, but how difficult are they to resolve? Theresa was not the only demon king who had thought of this, and Theresis was not the only one who had been coerced, but no matter who it was, they all failed.

This time was no exception. There was no winner in the Kazdel civil war. In the end, Theresa failed, and Tracys was defeated even though he won.

The thing that the Demon Kings of all generations fear the most is that after mastering the Black Crown and reading the memories of the Demon Kings of all generations stored in it, they will suddenly realize that everything they have done so far is just a repetition of the countless failures in the long history of the Sarkaz.

The same goes for Kal'tsit.

She didn't want to see the Sarkaz, who had gathered because of the nation-building plan, gather together and go to war again. She also didn't want Ernst, who proposed this plan, to be stabbed in the back physically and mentally by the Sarkaz, just like Theresa.

If that was the case, she would rather reject Ernst's plan outright, and then call upon the coalition forces again to disperse the Sarkaz, because scattered Sarkaz are always much easier to deal with than those that are united.

Although now, she seems unable to do all this with conventional means.

and many more!

Kal'tsit: "........."

Under Ernst's strange gaze, Kal'tsit, who had suddenly fallen silent, suddenly raised her hands, grabbed her hair, and let out a startling scream.

"Ho!"

No, no, no, why would I have such an idea?

What do you mean, just like Theresa?

I really am! It must be Askalon's weird attitude that has affected me!

Anyway, stop thinking about it! At least, Ernst is doing well now, and things haven't developed to the point where she has to take action to solve them. For now... just wait and see.

"Kelsey, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ernst asked curiously.

Kal'tsit covered her chest, raised her head, and shook her head with all her strength:

"No, it's nothing. I'm fine."

Ernst didn't think much about it. Kal'tsit has been like this recently, not once or twice. It is said that immortals also have a lifespan. Kal'tsit revealed that her standby time is in the tens of thousands of years. Maybe she is indeed a bit dilapidated.

Seeing that Kal'tsit was adjusting her breathing, Ernst didn't say anything pretentious:

"In that case, let's talk business first."

"Kal'tsit, do you know anything about the Cyclops?"

Kelsey's breathing paused for a moment. She raised her head and met Ernst's innocent eyes. She asked uncertainly:

"Does Kjerag have a Cyclops?"

Ernst shook his head and answered truthfully:

"No."

Kal'tsit finally breathed a sigh of relief, treating this as an extension of the unfinished content from the last time she introduced the Royal Court to Ernst:

"The Cyclops is a very special race. Like many clans in the Sarkaz royal court, the witchcraft inherited by their clan gives them the ability to predict the future. However, as a branch of the Sarkaz tribe, they are not like the Blood Demons, who live in Kazdel with the Blood Demon Lord, nor do they live in the valley like the Banshees. Instead, they gradually abandoned the Cyclops Caves that originally served as their territory thousands of years ago."

Except for Kazdel, all the court races have their own court territory. The Banshees have the Banshee Valley, where Logos and Nastie both come from. The Scavengers also have the Scavenger Swamp Forest, which is a forbidden place for life and a decaying palace. What decays in the swamp is not leaves and mud, but pure vitality. The same is true for the Cyclops. They once lived in seclusion in the caves of the valley, peeping at the tricks of fate in the dark environment, but that area is now abandoned.

"The Cyclops and their court have been away from Kazdel for thousands of years, and moved their entire clan to the ice fields of Sami. Some Sarkaz attribute this to the cowardice of the Cyclops clan in war, but the Cyclops clan interprets it as an order from the Demon King."

"A demon king was born from the Cyclops. He was called the Herald, and his words were full of wisdom. However, this demon king, who possessed what was probably the strongest prophetic ability in history, was eventually assassinated."

"Assassination?"

Ernst was surprised.

To be honest, he didn't really believe in prophecies, fate, and other weird stuff, but there were indeed many fatalistic elements on the land of Terra, and the Cyclops' prophecy did exist. During the World Expo, Ernst had learned some news from Typhon from Sami.

And a [Demon King] who is good at prophecy was assassinated? This is a bit too humorous. Didn't he predict his own death? Or was he already exhausted and destroyed?

Ernst's words were not answered. Perhaps Kal'tsit didn't want to say it. She didn't know, or perhaps she felt there was no need to dwell on why a dead demon king died. She was just narrating the result of this historical event.

"The Demon King saw an unparalleled disaster in the prophecy, and fell into despair after issuing a final warning to the tribe. After he was assassinated, the Cyclops left Kazdel one after another and finally went to Sami."

"I believe you can guess what the so-called disaster is."

Kelsey asked. Ernst nodded.

There are three disasters in Terra, [Originium], [Sea Si], and [Demon]. Originium is close at hand, deep in our lives, yet mysterious and unpredictable, Sea Si lurks in the ocean, blocked by Iberia, and the demon is entrenched on the Infi Icefield outside of Sami.

The disaster that the Cyclops Demon King saw was the evil demon.

It was normal for him to go crazy. Ernst had also seen the state of people who were corrupted by evil spirits. The iron-shell Balrog went crazy, a genius scientist like Kristen suddenly became like a woman and hugged him to dance, and there was an unlucky employee who was broken into pieces like a vase. It was said that he could be used again after being put back together, but no one knew how he did it.

In comparison, the madness symptoms triggered by the Cyclops Demon King were less destructive; he just posed.

[Time sequence] Same symptoms.

Ernst smacked his lips in understanding.

In this way, he could probably guess why the warning letter he received this morning and the Cyclops who suddenly announced that he would be arriving soon came.

Although the principle is unclear, he suspected that he was the reincarnation of Hu Butcher. A slap can cure hysteria. A slap once cleared the eyes of the Balrog. This matter should have been passed back to Sami through Typhon.

So that's why the Cyclops sent someone to represent their royal court, intending to test his own qualities?

Ernst had no objection to this. As for the two main reasons Kal'tsit mentioned for the Cyclops leaving Kazdel, Ernst felt that it might be both of them.

They are not belligerent and hate war, yet at the same time they try to fight against one of the three great natural scourges of Terra and are stationed at the Sami Icefield. If these circumstances are true and there is no trickery involved, then this Sarkaz tribe can indeed be united.

The only problem was how he could ensure he passed the test.

After all, the evil demons were still quite scary. Just because he was able to wake up the Balrog with a slap last time, it didn't mean he could do it this time. If the "test" was stained with the evil demons and he didn't clean it up, and he accidentally went crazy and collapsed, then he would probably be awarded the title of "Witch King No. 2".

After all, the Witch King is a model of being wise in the early stage and tyrannical in the later stage. What's more, Ernst is not as capable as the Witch King.

Well, we still have to take some insurance.

"Kelsey, please help me."

Ernst suddenly said. Kal'tsit had just calmed down and raised her head, frowning slightly.

"What's wrong? You're so polite all of a sudden?"

"Nothing. It's just that, as I remember, you know how to remove the evil contamination, right?"

Kelsey nodded, thinking that Ernst was frightened by her speculation that the Cyclops Demon King was contaminated and went crazy, and comforted him:

"I know a thing or two. Mr. Ernst, are you worried that you might have been contaminated last time at the Dome Research Station and didn't clean it up properly? Don't worry, I can assure you that there is no trace of evil contamination on you. If you are worried, I can help you clean it again at any time."

Ernst nodded with satisfaction and patted Kal'tsit on the shoulder. Although the old lynx usually hides some cookies and gold coins, she is still a pillar of society when she is needed:

"That's good. Come to my office in a couple of days."

Kal'tsit nodded in agreement and sat down, feeling curious:

"Why does it take two days?"

If you're worried, shouldn't you ask for it to be dealt with immediately?

Ernst replied as a matter of course:

"Because the envoy from the Cyclops King's Court will arrive in two days."

Kal'tsit's legs went weak and she fell to the ground with a chair tilted. Her expression was horrified and her voice changed. She looked at the snow leopard and said, "Huh":

"What envoy?"

Ernst scratched his head and answered somewhat embarrassedly:

"The envoy of the Cyclops King's Court seems to be called Elki, the adoptive mother of Typhon whom we met at the World Expo. She brought a token from the Cyclops King's Court. Maybe the story of me fighting the evil demon got through to them and attracted their interest."

Kal'tsit's eyes went dark.

She should have thought of it earlier. How could Ernst ask meaningless questions?

"Heh, heh, hoh—"

Chapter 483: Hol Haiya: How can you inflict real damage?

Kjerag, Tukarim, Rhode Island Office.

"The first day after leaving the island, I carried my former colleague back to the office" - written by Askalon.

Askalon was monitoring what was happening in Ernst's office all the time. This behavior of almost "lying on the door" might indeed be unsightly and easily misunderstood, but Askalon didn't care.

Everything is false and everything is allowed. For an assassin like her who was born in the dark and walked in the shadows, from the moment she took on this mission, she no longer cared about face, image, or even dignity.

If necessary, she can even cut off her own horns, disfigure her face, and become the next corpse-wrapped warrior.

Rather, she regretted that she had not done so at the beginning. She had not been able to go to Londinium in person and kill Theresis, or at least let him go to hell with Theresia!

Of course, maybe I would die together with Theresa.

Tresis's individual force is so strong that he is not inferior even to the Lord of the Royal Court. In fact, many Sarkaz have already determined that their Chairman of the Military Committee, the General, and the Regent relied on their unparalleled force to conquer the previously unruly Royal Court and unite them around the Military Committee.

But no one knows the exact situation. When Babel and the Military Committee were fighting a war of public opinion, there was a rumor in Ascalon that Teresis was selling his ditches.

As a disciple, the rumors about his master are certainly more credible, but he will also lose more face. It can be said that he hurts his enemy by a thousand and hurts himself by eight hundred. He may also be accused of disrespecting his teacher, but Ascalon will still do it. Although this operation was quickly stopped by Theresa who discovered the matter, it can be seen that Ascalon really doesn't care about the fame in the world.

Compared to privacy, she feels safety is more important.

So, when the screams of a cat were heard in the room, Ascalon rushed in immediately. His speed was so fast that even Xintelaiya, who had Pegasus blood and eyesight good enough to use a single skill, only saw a shadow!

"What happened?"

Askalon shouted loudly and flew towards Ernst from five or six meters away!

Ernst was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground by Ascalon. He felt as if his whole body was pressed down by a mountain and he could not move. A not very pleasant smell of gunpowder rushed into his nose.

Under normal circumstances, Ernst should have thought about the current situation and expressed his gratitude to the new head of the Rhodes Island office who was working so hard for him. At the same time, he would subconsciously comment on his figure, saying that he was "as good as a Sarkaz".

But Ernst had no such idea at all now.
