Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Extreme quickly admitted defeat with a grin.

The count stared in disbelief at the Extreme Realm, who had arranged everything. He opened his mouth to say something, but Thorn patted him on the shoulder to stop him.

“There’s no need to refuse. If Murphy finds out we met his fellow countryman in trouble and didn’t help, he’ll be heartbroken.” Thorn said coolly. “Besides, this is a piece of cake for Murphy to handle.”

The count couldn't help but probe, "Young man, who is this Murphy you're talking about?"

"Leytania, the Voice of the Queen".

When Murphy rushed to the scene, the situation in front of the Jilinwan stall had already been completely settled.

He and the count had their arms around each other's shoulders, each carrying a bottle of beer, like old buddies who had known each other for years.

The count was also affected by the emotions, forgetting his worries and even somewhat forgetting his aristocratic elegance.

Fueled by alcohol, he pointed at Alosia, who was intently watching over him, and complained:

"Why are you so rigid? With the guys from Rhodes Island here, and Lord Murphy arriving soon, would those assassins dare to come looking for death?"

"Sir, you can't hold your liquor," Alosia reminded him helplessly.

"What's there to be afraid of? As long as Lord Murphy arrives, everything will be alright!" The count's tongue was almost slurred.

Alohia sighed:

“But you have a headache after a hangover, and I have to take care of you every time.”

Upon hearing that he would cause trouble for Alosia, the count sobered up considerably on the spot. He then noticed Murphy staring at him with a complicated expression.

Murphy Caprini's features immediately made the Count realize his identity.

"Lord Murphy, you've arrived!" The Earl immediately stood up and bowed.

"No need for formalities, please sit down and rest."

Murphy held down the swaying count and glanced at the assassins who were tied up in a knot not far away, immediately getting a general understanding of the situation.

He gestured with his chin towards the three from Extreme Realm:

"Thank you so much, you've been a great help today."

Extreme pointed at Murphy and immediately began extorting money: "One drink!"

"One meal each!" Murphy said arrogantly, "I'm not my older brother. We lack everything except money."

He held the wine bottle and grinned fiercely.

"Qi Yan now has a black card."

“Once we leave Kazimierz, I’ll still be in charge of my brother’s expenses!” Murphy said proudly.

The four of them exchanged a smile.

Then, ignoring the Earl, Murphy's gaze swept around, and his demeanor abruptly shifted from affable to authoritative:

"How long are we going to keep watching this show?"

The crowd that had kept their distance but couldn't shake their curiosity was startled, thinking that Murphy was throwing a tantrum at them. They felt both fear and a bit annoyed.

But soon, their displeasure vanished, leaving only complete awe.

Five silver-speared celestial riders marched out in orderly formation from an alley.

Their squad leader was somewhat helpless, but dared not ignore Murphy, because at this moment Murphy was clearly preparing to shed his Rhodes Island operator identity and speak directly with Kazimierz as an official of Letania.

The squad leader stepped forward and politely said:

"Guests of Letania, please do not be angry. We will give you a satisfactory explanation."

"hope so."

With his back to Letania, Murphy spoke with renewed confidence: "The matter of the Witch King's afterimage is not yet over. I hope that Kazimierz can give us a satisfactory answer this time!"

Chapter 488 The little boat of friendship sets sail!

The Silver Spear Pegasus squad leader almost cursed on the spot.

What do you mean by saying that the matter of the Witch King's afterimage is not over yet?

That's Qi Yan, who keeps calling you "Big Brother." If you want to find the Witch King's afterimage, go find him directly. Why are you staring at our Kazimir?

"Of course, please trust the friendship between Casimir and Letania."

The more filthy the curses the squad leader might have in his mind, the more polite he would appear at that moment.

He then turned around and vented all his resentment on the assassins:

"Take them to prison. This matter will be directly handled by the Prison Administration Committee!"

The other four Silver Spear Pegasus warriors obeyed orders without a word, grabbing the assassin's ropes and dragging him away like a load of cargo.

The squad leader then used military communications to summon a special car and, with formal diplomatic protocol, invited Murphy and his two companions into the vehicle, personally escorting them all the way to the Control Yuan building.

Russell had already received the news and was waiting for Murphy and the others to arrive in the meeting room.

"Guests of Letania, I'm sorry to have caused you this trouble."

Upon meeting, Russell immediately took the initiative and began to apologize.

Murphy sat opposite Russell, showing no sign of backing down in the face of this esteemed Grand Knight Commander, and nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Please don't apologize, Grand Knight Commander. I believe in the friendship between Letania and Kazimierz."

“Yes.” Russell personally poured tea for Murphy and the Earl. “In Casimir, there are many travelers from Letania, and they all praise Casimir.”

"Me, too."

Murphy nodded: "Having spent a few days in this bustling Great Knight Territory, I've come to understand what true splendor is all about."

May the friendship between Letania and Casimir last forever.

Russell: "..."

She suddenly couldn't understand Murphy's purpose in coming. Without any questioning, he had come to her door in a huff and then just went along with her, repeating the same things over and over.

At that moment, a staff member rushed in and walked over to Russell, intending to whisper something in his ear.

Russell raised his hand to stop him: "Speak your mind openly. Everyone here is a distinguished guest of Casimir."

The staff member immediately stood up straight and said loudly:

"We have confirmed the identities of the assassins. They are from a beach umbrella company in Colombia. It is likely that someone hired them to assassinate Letania's VIP guests."

We have tried contacting the beach umbrella company to find out who paid for the hitman.

Upon hearing the name "beach umbrella," Russell frowned slightly.

Just as she was pondering how to resolve the matter and prevent Murphy, or more precisely, Rhodes Island, from using it as an excuse, Murphy himself spoke first:

"It turns out to be a beach umbrella company. Things seem a bit tricky."

The other party is a Colombian company, so they probably won't care about Casimir's pressure, making it difficult to find out the killer's identity.

“We will try our best,” Russell assured.

Murphy shook his head and glanced at the Earl beside him:

"There's no need for such a big fuss. I've already seen Kazimir's attitude, and I believe in the friendship between our two countries."

The Earl was unharmed. I will now entrust Rhodes Island with ensuring his safety and will personally escort him back to his homeland.

Russell was increasingly baffled by Murphy's true intentions.

But she couldn't really let Murphy handle the matter on his own; otherwise, if word got out, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that Casimir was incapable of protecting his guests?

“Kazimir will protect the Earl’s safety,” Russell said firmly. “If necessary, we will directly mobilize the Knights of Conquest!”

“In that case, I will naturally not refuse. Thank you, Grand Knight Commander.” Murphy was very obedient and did not make any trouble.

This reaction left Russell increasingly puzzled.

Russell knew perfectly well that Rhodes Island was behind this, but she couldn't figure out what room there was for them to manipulate.

It was just an assassination attempt; could the Doctor possibly pull off something more elaborate?

At this point in the discussion, there seems to be no need to continue.

Russell made some polite remarks, and Murphy followed suit. In a short time, the two of them used the assassination attempt to turn their conversation into a friendly exchange between the two countries.

Finally, Russell couldn't contain himself and tentatively asked:

"Mr. Murphy, regarding the matter of the Witch King's afterimage..."

“Grand Knight Commander, there’s no need to take it to heart,” Murphy immediately said. “I’ve already asked Mr. Qi Yan these past few days and found out it was all a misunderstanding. It was just a fake illusion that Mr. Qi Yan imitated and learned while traveling in Letania.”

I will submit the investigation results to Her Majesty the Queen afterward. Grand Knight Commander, please rest assured that Letania and Casimir will not clash over such a trivial matter.

If those silver-spear celestial horses were present, they would definitely be so angry that they would break their guard.

That's not what you said back then!

The count's lips twitched twice. He looked down at his nose and accepted his role as a background character, transforming into a heartless tea-drinking machine.

Murphy's attitude pleased Russell somewhat.

After a moment's hesitation, Russell decided to speak frankly.

“Mr. Murphy has a good relationship with Rhodes Island, and I heard that he is a special agent sent to Rhodes Island by Letania. I have some questions to ask him.”

"The relationship between Letania and Rhodes Island is enviable, and it gives me a glimpse of a possibility," Russell said earnestly. "I wonder if Kazimierz and Letania could also establish such a relationship, building a deeper friendship through official channels, exchanging resources, and making progress together?"

The count, who hadn't dared to interrupt the entire time, suddenly brightened up.

Isn't this exactly what he's been working on?

The count was filled with excitement, but he didn't dare to say anything rash and waited patiently for Murphy to give his opinion.

After a moment of silence in the meeting room, Murphy carefully considered the space available for maneuver.

After a long pause, he resolutely raised his head and looked directly into Russell's eyes:

"In my opinion, this is a win-win cooperation, but I dare not make a decision and still need to report to Her Majesty the Queen."

"It's natural."

Russell was even more delighted.

The two immediately stood up and shook hands solemnly.

Under Murphy's guidance, the Earl was also temporarily appointed as the ambassador for cooperation between the two countries and shook hands with Russell.

The count felt a sense of euphoria, as if he were in a dream.

Just half an hour ago, he was almost assassinated and felt that escaping back to China alive would be a victory. Now, he has suddenly been promoted to the position he had always dreamed of.

The atmosphere inside the meeting room was pleasant and harmonious, with both guests and hosts enjoying themselves.

After the conversation ended, Russell personally escorted Murphy and his companion to the outside of the Oversight Council.

Alosia stood guard at the entrance of the Supervisory Council, watching a scene completely different from what she had expected. Even the mask on her face could not hide her shock.

With Russell seeing them off, the three boarded a private car.

Inside the car, the Earl, finally unable to contain his excitement, repeatedly thanked Murphy:

"If it weren't for Lord Murphy this time, I really wouldn't know what to do. And you even managed to turn conflict into cooperation. Lord Murphy, you are truly amazing."

Murphy smiled and patted the Earl on the shoulder, affirming:

"Work hard. I will report your identity later, and a specialist will contact you. That's all I can do to help you."

“Then, Lord Murphy, you…” The Earl sensed something was implied in Murphy’s words.

“After all, I’m currently a Rhodes Island resident, and my status is caught in the middle, so it’s inconvenient for me to keep showing up,” Murphy explained. “Besides, from a personal perspective, I’m currently on a rare paid vacation, so how can I let work-related matters hold me back?”

As for the beach umbrella company, don't worry about it too much. After all, they're a Colombian company. Sometimes it's good to be a little oblivious.

"I will do whatever Lord Murphy says," the Earl immediately declared his loyalty.

The driver in the driver's seat remained silent, focusing on driving and minimizing his presence, but the device he carried transmitted every word of their conversation back to him.

Chapter 489 Don't even think about it, how could I possibly persecute Little Platinum?

Inside the Oversight Council's office, Russell listened silently to the conversation coming through the listening device.
