Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The two quickly stopped Eyjafjalla from apologizing.

They looked at the little girl with a face full of guilt and felt a pang of heartache.

Eyjafjalla joined Rhodes Island too recently, and her Oripathy infection was already quite serious, leading to complications that affected her hearing.

Normally, to chat with Eyjafjalla, you either need to be in a quiet environment or you need to raise your voice slightly.

The two of them had been so distracted by the chaos outside that they had overlooked this point.

"Sorry, Eyjafjalla, we didn't mean to," Cast Iron apologized, raising his voice slightly. "We were just complaining about Qi Yan, that guy, causing trouble again."

We were originally planning to meet with the mayor of Dorsoles to discuss Rhodes Island setting up an office there, but it seems that's no longer an option.

Susuluo also raised her voice slightly and analyzed seriously:

"We still need to look for them, even if we're sure to be rejected. We have to go through the process, but we'd better bring our weapons."

It's not just about guarding against rebels on the streets, but also about preventing the mayor from getting angry and killing us on the spot if he hears we're from Rhodes Island.

Her half-joking remark immediately amused Cast Iron and Eyjafjalla.

Cast Iron shrugged and suggested:

"Or I might go alone. After all, you and Eyjafjalla are a doctor and a scholar, respectively, and you can't compare to me, a tough and resilient guard."

Sussuruo chuckled: "You can look down on me as a doctor, but you can't underestimate Eyjafjalla. She's now a master who was personally granted the title of sorcerer by the Doctor."

Although Qi Yan rolled his eyes at the Doctor for several days because of this, for some reason, Eyjafjalla's Originium Arts were no less than those of an ordinary combatant.

"No, I wouldn't dare compare myself to others," Eyjafjalla quickly waved her hand.

After a round of joking around, Eyjafjalla's mood was effectively soothed.

Susulu, the accompanying doctor, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Eyjafjalla is now a treasure of Rhodes Island, the undisputed darling of the team, and even Kal'tsit speaks to her with a hint of a smile.

Eyjafjalla was originally conducting research near Bolívar and was preparing to return to Rhodes Island after the research was completed.

However, the accompanying staff felt that if even the Doctor could go on vacation, why couldn't their little lamb? So they took the initiative to ask Kal'tsit for a vacation.

As a result, the vacation was approved, but a headache-inducing task followed.

Go to Dosoles and discuss with Mayor Candela the possibility of Rhodes Island establishing an office in Dosoles.

This was a tricky task to begin with.

For some reason, Candela kept rejecting Rhodes Island's applications, and her attitude was ambiguous. She didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Rhodes Island, but she also seemed to be avoiding it at all costs.

But what's even more troublesome is that impossible task... capturing the Doctor and Qi Yan who are running wild outside.

"Hey, let's get started."

Cast Iron habitually touched his bull horn, then picked up the greatsword that was as tall as a man beside him: "The rebels below have started to rush into this hotel. We're in for a lot of trouble."

Sussurro and Eyjafjalla nodded quickly, picked up their respective staffs, and followed closely behind Cast Iron.

The three of them navigated through the chaotic hotel. Sussuro wanted to try to control the situation and save a few citizens of Dosoles.

Unfortunately, her experience was similar to Swire's; the citizens completely disobeyed orders and acted on their own.

One person was so frightened that they went insane and jumped out of the window on the eighth floor right in front of Susuluo.

As it turns out, not everyone has the skills to become famous.

Sussulu soon heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground...

Sussuro did not show any signs of compassion in this situation.

Respect the fate of others and let go of the need to help others.

Susuluo decisively chose to protect herself and ensure the safety of the three of them first.

Before long, they encountered a small group of rebels.

However, with Cast Iron as a precedent, Feng Ti's powerful physique was fully displayed, and none of the rebels were a match for him. With the huge blade swinging, they were all knocked unconscious.

The three rushed out of the hotel, heading straight for the Dosoles City Hall.

They had thought that getting closer to the city hall would be the most difficult part of the journey, but they were surprised to find that there were not many rebels causing trouble near the city hall.

"What's happening here?"

Cast Iron glanced around at the empty street, becoming extremely vigilant.

Eyjafjalla suddenly exclaimed.

Cast Iron's pupils contracted slightly as he sensed a crossbow bolt, carrying terrifying force, hurtling towards his brow.

Realizing she had no time to dodge, she raised her greatsword, ready to take the blow head-on.

But the next second, the temperature around her rose sharply, as if a volcano had suddenly appeared behind her.

Flames rose up, transforming into a massive fireball that hurtled towards the crossbow bolt.

Under the intense heat of the fireball, the crossbow bolt instantly vaporized, and the fireball, still undiminished in its momentum, headed straight for the city hall building.

Several figures escaped from their hiding place in the city hall building and collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state.

The fireball grazed their bodies, scorching their hair until it curled slightly, before striking the city hall building precisely, melting a huge hole in it.

"Yes, sorry!"

Eyjafjalla noticed that the men were wearing law enforcement uniforms and immediately realized that she had attacked Dosoles' official forces.

The law enforcement team members got up from the ground, turned around and looked at the melted hole behind them, their hearts pounding wildly.

Saying the softest, most girly things, but fighting the fiercest?

Just as the law enforcement team was about to call for backup, Candela's voice came through the communicator in their ear first:

"Don't be nervous. These are distinguished guests of Rhodes Island. Apologize to them immediately and then welcome them into my office."

"Rhode Island?"

The law enforcement team members were dumbfounded: "Isn't Qi Yan from that organization? He's the mastermind behind this riot!"

Candela didn't get angry when her instructions were questioned; instead, her voice carried a hint of amusement.

"Didn't you watch the live stream? Qi Yan has already defected from Rhodes Island and joined the forces of Letania."

All the law enforcement team members: "..."

Qi Yan just said it casually, so you just believe it without thinking?!

The group exchanged glances, unable to understand the thoughts of these important figures.

They rose to their feet and raised a Gallic salute to the three cast-iron men, indicating that they meant no harm.

"Our three distinguished guests from Rhodes Island, we made a mistake earlier, and we apologize for any offense we may have caused."

The head of the enforcement team said loudly, "Our mayor has invited the three ladies to his office. Please do not attack us any further."

The three men exchanged glances, all somewhat puzzled as to what Candela was up to.

But they came here to see Candela, and since things were going so smoothly, they had no reason to refuse.

"Stay alert. Although it seems unlikely, it could be a trap, which would be dangerous," Susulu whispered warily.

Cast Iron nodded, his palm lightly resting on the hilt of the sword, ready to draw his sword at any moment.

Eyjafjalla looked somewhat bewildered, clutching her staff with her mouth slightly agape.

Susuluo: "..."

"Calm down, you don't need to do anything else."

Sussuro quickly grabbed Ayjafjalla's hand to prevent the unfortunate girl from suddenly firing a fireball at the faces of the law enforcement team members.

The law enforcement team members who walked over were completely unaware that they had just almost experienced a mini fireball face wash with the heat of a volcano.

With smiles on their faces, they walked up to the three men in the cast iron and led them smoothly into the city hall to meet the city's masters.

"Please have a seat, three beautiful ladies."

Candela smiled, as if the rebellion outside was not directed at her.

Cast Iron cleared her throat, and as the team leader, she stepped forward and said:

"Thank you for Mayor Candela's willingness to meet with us. I am Iron, representing Rhodes Island."

All I want to say is that we are deeply sorry for the trouble Qi Yan has caused Dosoles this time, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.

Candela smiled, picked up the glass of red wine on her desk, took a small sip, and said leisurely:

"I have never said anything bad about Qi Yan. Don't talk nonsense. Qi Yan's ingenious ideas have provided me with many new thoughts, and I am very grateful to him."

Cast Iron was dumbfounded.

Chapter 251 Candela

After a moment's reaction, Cast Iron tentatively asked:

“Mayor Candela, please don’t worry. Rhodes Island will take care of this matter and do our best to minimize the losses suffered by Dosoles.”

Candela chuckled and shook her head, then stood up, holding her wine glass, and walked to the window, looking out at the peaceful streets near the city hall.

In the distance, smoke and fire rose from the city, but the city hall remained calm.

She turned her head, looked at the group of people who had cast iron, and asked with a smile:

Where did Dosoles suffer losses?

The three men were somewhat bewildered.

They glanced at the chaos outside the window, then at Candela.

"...Mayor Candela, do you usually...wear glasses?"

Cast Iron tried his best to question Candela's vision problem in the most tactful way possible.

Candela chuckled and waved her hand, saying:

"I'm not nearsighted; on the contrary, my favorite thing to do is to look into the distance."

"Would you like to come over and see the world with me?"

The three men exchanged glances for a moment, and finally, one of them stepped forward alone and stood side by side with Candela.

Candela raised her glass slightly and gestured towards the view outside the window:

"Miss Cast Iron, what did you see?"

"Dosoles is experiencing turmoil, and the situation is not optimistic."

"Take a closer look. Is Dosoles really that dangerous?"

Cast Iron sensed Candela's meaning and turned his gaze back to the calm area near the city hall.

After observing carefully for a moment, she noticed that although the area around the city hall was calm and there were no signs of the rebels, there were still some indelible signs of fighting, proving that the area had also been attacked after the rebels launched their offensive.

But by this time, the rebels had vanished without a trace, and their fate was self-evident.

"Mayor Candela's skills are truly amazing; she managed to take control of the home advantage so quickly."

After a moment's hesitation, the Cast Iron Organization continued, "But I still don't understand why Mayor Candela doesn't continue to expand her advantages and strive to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, instead allowing the rebels to destroy your city?"

“Are they really destroying my city?” Candela asked rhetorically.

Cast Iron was clearly struggling to keep up with Candela's train of thought and was momentarily confused.

Seeing that Cast Iron didn't understand, Candela gently shook her head and explained:

"They were just destroying buildings and hunting down civilians, but they didn't cause any real harm to Dosoles."

"Buildings may collapse, but I can rebuild them. Even if all the citizens die, they'll still flock here from all over Bolívar. Dosoles won't be destroyed by such a blow."

Cast Iron's mouth gaped open, utterly shocked by Candela's words.

In Candela's eyes, human life was something utterly worthless.

In other words, those who are killed have no value; only those who are alive and can provide labor for the Dosoles industry are valuable.

To Candela, this rebellion was nothing more than a change in numbers on the ledger.

Cast Iron remained silent for a moment, then suddenly lost the desire to speak.
