Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Grass...a type of plant."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan couldn't help but stare in astonishment and let out a sigh.

He glanced at Eldo, then at Theresis, and took several deep breaths to calm himself.

"Every single one of you is an old silver coin!"

"I'm such a simple-minded person, Qi Xiaobai, and you all have the heart to scheme against me."

Seeing Qi Yan's utterly dejected expression, Theresis shook her head and said:

"I still don't want to believe that you didn't have any plans; you must have your own calculations involved."

Qi Yan opened his mouth, feeling like crying but having no tears.

Now that things have come to this point, wouldn't it be a bit antisocial if I didn't try to do something?

"That... is... um..."

Qi Yan racked his brains and blurted out something random: "At this time, Teacher Da Te, did you calculate that Rhodes Island's various external aids should have arrived by now?"

Do you really think the Doctor is content with just raiding the city garrison headquarters and returning empty-handed?

Therese's gaze sharpened: "How many foreign reinforcements do you have left?"

"Then I definitely can't tell you," Qi Yan said, tilting her head back proudly.

Manfred hid behind Tracy and speculated:

"Qi Yan, don't you even know yourself?"

Then he suddenly turned to look at Red behind him:

"I remember you said you owed me a favor, right?"

Red: "...Aba aba, what did you say?"

"Don't play dumb with me!" Qi Yan grabbed his collar and shoved him in front of Theresis. "Go, give those two, master and disciple, a duel each!"

Looking at the expressionless Theresis, Red almost burst into tears:

"You promised you wouldn't hold grudges!"

Qi Yan smiled and said, "I don't hold grudges. I'm taking revenge."

Chapter 630 One Hundred Facts About Gavial

Red was sandwiched between Qi Yan and Therese, with men on either side of him.

He hesitated.

Is it more dignified to die rebelling against Qi Yan, or to die challenging the Sarkaz regent?

"Ahem, Red, are you really going to choose between the two?"

Erdo, unable to bear Red's honest nature any longer, stepped forward and interrupted, "If you're looking for death, wait until you send me back to Reunion. I don't want to wander through this turbulent battlefield by myself."

Qi Yan, no matter what, thank you for your help. Once I return, our franchise partnership can officially begin.

As he spoke, Eldo stepped forward, grabbed Red, and pulled him outside.

Qi Yan suddenly called out to Eldo, "Do you have a tape recorder on you?"

Eldo was somewhat puzzled, nodded, and took a tape recorder out of his pocket.

Qi Yan waved, signaling him to give her the tape recorder.

Erdo had no doubts and readily handed the tape recorder to Qi Yan.

As soon as the tape recorder was in Qi Yan's hands, he put it in his mouth and bit off a piece.

"Pah... I broke it. I'll go back and have Kroos fix it. I'll return it to you next time we meet."

Qi Yan spat out the tape recorder residue from his mouth and casually stuffed it into his pocket.

Eldo: "...It's just a corner that's broken, it's not like it's going to break."

"Besides, you could have just said so directly, why did you bite him? I suddenly feel a bit disgusted with him. I found him in Chernobog, and he's been with me for so long."

"Is your life more important or this little toy?" Qi Yan rolled her eyes at him. "I personally changed your fate, so don't become someone's scapegoat."

Upon hearing this, Eldo's expression turned serious.

Even Therese and his apprentice standing nearby narrowed their eyes and carefully examined Eldo from head to toe.

They felt that the information contained in Qi Yan's words was about to explode, and for a moment, apart from Red, an outsider to the authorities, the other three were all caught in a mental storm.

Qi Yan ignored their thoughts and continued rambling on to Eldo:

"When you get back, remember to find Talulah and tell her to stop being so emotional and to step up if anything happens."

If you disagree, tell her that if Old Chen knew she was playing idle games with Talulah every day, he would definitely come looking for her with his big sword and keep her in bed for three days and three nights.

Eldo: "..."

He didn't know if Jiu would be punished, but he was certain that if he relayed these lewd words verbatim, Jiu would beat him so badly he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for three days and three nights.

"I understand... In short, we need to help Talulah recover as soon as possible and prepare for the crisis we are about to face."

After all, Erdo was a scholar, and he quickly transcribed Qi Yan's words into plain language: "Hold your head high, face the hardships head-on, tread the flames, and forge ahead with determination."

Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance exam?

Qi Yan laughed and cursed, then kicked Eldo in the butt, sending him flying.

After rubbing his buttocks, Eldo grinned and led Red away.

After they left, only Qi Yan and his apprentice Therese remained at the scene.

"So, are you going back to Londinium or Kazdel Nursing Home?" Qi Yan pointed to the bandages on Theresis's body. "My suggestion is to go to the nursing home and wait for the Rhodes Island medical team to arrive so you can receive proper treatment and avoid any long-term effects."

"Given your Sarkaz medical methods, it would probably be more beneficial for the patient to be killed first and then resurrected by the Exorcist."

Therese retorted with a dark expression:

"The Sarkaz are not comparable to Sargon."

"Don't say things like that. If Gavial from Rhodes Island hears you, she'll definitely come looking for you to treat you."

Qi Yan kindly reminded him that even he couldn't help but show some apprehension when the name of Gavial was mentioned.

When Hu Niu was teaching Qi Lin 'physical anesthesia techniques,' he happened to be there and witnessed Huang, who was passing by, being forced to serve as teaching material by being pinned to the ground.

Fortunately, it was Blaze; if it had been anyone else, they would definitely have been sent to Kal'tsit for emergency treatment.

Therese and his apprentice looked at each other in bewilderment.

They could see that the fear in Qi Yan's eyes was genuine.

"That Gavial... is he a god of Sargon?" Manfred couldn't contain himself and asked, "Just how many other outrageous beings does Rhodes Island have?"

Qi Yan, hands in his pockets, strolled leisurely towards Lentinium, idly chatting with them:

"Let me put it this way: whether Terra is in chaos or not is up to Rhodes Island, but whether Rhodes Island itself is in chaos or not is up to Gavial."

Manfred: "..."

Seeing the disbelief written all over his face, Qi Yan began to explain in a serious tone:

"You just asked whether Gavial is a god of Sargon. That's not entirely wrong, but it's not entirely wrong either."

I have a hundred facts about Gavial here that can answer your questions.

First, contrary to popular belief, Sargon was not actually a tribal state; Sargon was a Gavial state.

Manfred: ?

"Secondly, Gavial's tears can cure Oripathy, but unfortunately she never cries."

Manfred: ?

"Third, Gavial's main export product is pain with a small amount of anesthetic effect."

Manfred: ? ? ?

"Fourth, Gavial has 1/8 of the bloodline of the Year Beast, which has nothing to do with her ancestors—this guy ate an entire Year Beast clone."

"No! Wait a minute!"

Manfred grew increasingly absurd as he listened, and exclaimed in frustration, "Do you think I don't know?"

The Sui Beast has twelve fragments, so why would someone who ate one have 1/8 of the Sui Beast's bloodline?!

Qi Yan's expression froze.

Therese remained silent.

Perhaps, when he returns and meets Kal'tsit of Rhodes Island, he can hold off on taking action and have a proper discussion to see if he can send Manfred over there and exchange Ascalon for him.

This child wasn't this stupid before. Why is it that after being tormented by Qi Yan several times, he seems to be gradually losing his mind?

While Theresis was secretly plotting, Qi Yan had already composed himself and used the excuse that one of the twelve clones of the Year Beast had died to fix the bug.

"Don't interrupt me, I'll continue."

Qi Yan cleared his throat and continued, "Fifth, there is actually no theory of evolution on the continent of Terra, only a 'list of creatures that Gavial allows to live'."

Sixth, Gavial can touch Precys.

As Theresis was lost in thought while following the two, she suddenly heard Qi Yan mention that name again, which seemed to be related to the 'Originium Stone'.

This gave him a jolt of energy, and he began to pay attention to what Qi Yan was saying.

As the three of them slowly walked back down to the bottom of Kazdel Nursing Home, Qi Yan's words were nearing their end.

"Ninety-seven, there are no races in the world, only entire countries of people who have been given animal ears or tails by Gavial."

Ninety-eight, Gavial can easily modify the axe while beating up the Extreme Realm.

Ninety-nine, the Twin Moons of Terra were actually a group of Victoria and Ursus soldiers who were hit in the face by Gavial's Fist during the Four Emperors War and then sent flying into space.

One hundred, the walls of Londinium were actually built to block Gavial, but they failed miserably, hence the prophecy that Londinium would eventually be torn into three pieces by fire.

When Qi Yan finished stating the last fact about Gavial, both Therese and his apprentice fell silent.

Therese glanced at Manfred, who seemed lost in thought beside him, then turned to look at Lentinium.

Inside the city, the sounds of explosions could be faintly heard, indicating that a conflict had broken out between Rhodes Island and the Sarkaz.

"Since you already know that Rhodes Island is destined to fail, why are you still willing to patiently cooperate with my delaying tactics?"

Standing below the Kazdel nursing home, Theresis finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been lingering in her mind.

Chapter 631 Theresis's Win-Win Tactics

Qi Yan didn't rush to answer. He turned around and lightly leaped onto the Kazdel Nursing Home, which had no landing gate at all.

Theresis hesitated for a moment, worried that if she returned to Londinium now, Qi Yan would follow her, so she gritted her teeth and jumped onto Kazdel Nursing Home as well.

Manfred followed closely behind, and the three of them went out of town for a stroll without any pretense of civility, before returning together like old friends.

This intelligence was naturally relayed back by the spies.

At the Kazdel Nursing Home, Qi Yan surveyed his territory with his hands behind his back and laughed:

"I really can't compare to old silver coins like you and the Doctor. There's nothing I can do about the way you two schemed against me."

But since you've been so open with me, it's not hard for me to guess that your trump card in Lentinium is Theresia.

Therese nodded:

"She won't take direct action, but given her understanding of 'Black Crown,' interfering with your young demon lord on Rhodes Island shouldn't be a problem."

"What about the others from Rhodes Island?" Qi Yan asked.

"The absolution master will intervene."

Therese didn't mince words and said frankly, "Besides, the shapeshifters will use their borrowed strange luck to cause interference. The Blood Demon's state is uncertain, but he should also be present."

The army of scavengers is also prepared, and if my estimation is correct, the King of the Scavengers should be returning soon.

“Yes, he can make it back.” Qi Yan grinned. “Similarly, Kal'tsit has arrived too. It’s going to be a chaotic battle.”

“You don’t seem worried at all,” Therese said, frowning.
