Ark Simulator, don't I have no physical form?

Before Mudrock could finish speaking, she gave instructions and then walked into the city alone. She was very strong, and it was safest for her to come in alone to gather intelligence.

As for what she didn't say... Princess Theresa's plan was that if anything happened, they could retreat directly without risking their lives.

But for Niyan, a little danger was nothing. As she was tasked with the mission, she naturally had to complete it as much as possible.

With this in mind, Niyan entered the city. Unexpectedly, she encountered no obstacles, or rather, she didn't see a single person.

It seems everyone has disappeared or been drawn somewhere.

In any case, the fact that even the outermost guards of the city are gone is highly unusual, and unusual things often mean danger.

With this thought in mind, Mudstone gripped the hammer tightly. Worried about being suspected in someone else's city, she didn't fully adopt a defensive and vigilant posture. Instead, she resembled a traveler in the wilderness, simply holding her weapon without actually preparing for battle.

However, Mudrock's attention was quickly drawn away as she heard pleasant music, and seemingly crisp, gentle dance steps that reached her ears, even though she was on the edge of the city.

Is some kind of event taking place? The city looks like it's just been hit by a natural disaster; perhaps they really need a post-disaster event, some music to boost morale.

Perhaps by going to the event site, one could gather some information. With this thought in mind, Niyan followed the sound of the music toward the center of Wolumonde Square, which should be the source of the music.

Moreover, for some reason, even Mudrock, a Sarkaz, felt a sense of peace and relaxation upon hearing the music, and subconsciously wanted to listen carefully.

With this thought in mind, Mudrock quickened his pace and soon arrived at the location near the square of Wolumonde on the unobstructed and even deserted streets.

The closer you get to the square, the more people you can see.

In fact, as Niyan approached the square, he noticed that a large number of people had gathered there; one could even say that everyone in the town had come together.

Because the square was completely surrounded and impassable.

Moreover, it wasn't just in the square; the surrounding buildings were also filled with spectators crowding around windows to watch the center of the square not far away.

Despite the large crowd, there was no chaos, not even a sound. Everyone held their breath, listening intently to the music in the center of the stage and watching the dance with rapt attention.

Mudstone walked past some people, who only glanced at her and noticed that she was completely wrapped in a heavy protective suit and that she was tall and imposing. They were only slightly puzzled, but did not feel wary or suspicious.

They only glanced at it before continuing to watch the performance in the center of the stage.

Unfortunately, Mudstone couldn't see it; there were too many people, and she was stuck on the outside. Mudstone also couldn't break into the residents' houses to watch the performance in the center of the square with them.

But this did catch Niyan's attention, making her want to figure out who was performing in the center of the stage, and what kind of aura they possessed that made people subconsciously want to get closer to them, which made Niyan feel somewhat familiar.

She had a vague guess, but couldn't quite make up her mind.

As for why the mudstone is so "tall" but cannot see the view in the center of the square, the reason is simple: the mudstone is not actually as tall as the protective suit makes it look. Its so-called tall stature is supported by the soil and rocks.

Mudrock's eyes are actually looking outside through an observation window on the chest of his protective suit.

So even though her physical size might suggest she could see the stage a little further away than the people around her, she actually needed to figure out what was happening in the center of the stage.

Driven by curiosity, Mudstone came up with a potentially unusual idea: to go to a high point in the surrounding buildings.

No one would gather on the stairs because there was no view of the stage from there.

Niyan walked lightly, trying not to disturb the audience who were watching the performance intently, and went up to the roof alone via the stairs.

In fact, the buildings here lack access to the roof, at least the one that Mudstone chose is like that.

However, Mudrock has its own Originium Arts. By simply building a few small platforms with earth and stone, it can easily reach the rooftop, gain a panoramic view that no one else has, and even see the performance on the stage.

Upon reaching the rooftop and looking out over the stage, Mudrock almost immediately focused his attention on Suri.

While the charm of the white nine-tailed fox boy is indeed very alluring, Mudrock sees it from a different perspective.

That face, that aura that subconsciously makes you want to get close to it, makes it really hard not to recognize him.

This is Prince Suri, who serves Princess Theresa.

But how did Lord Suri end up here? And why is he disguised as Volper?

Mudstone couldn't help but feel puzzled and wanted to figure out what was going on, and subconsciously felt a little worried.

Could it be that His Highness the Prince has been kidnapped? But the little girl next to him, who looks so similar to him, really does look like His Highness Su Rui's daughter.

What exactly happened? Was it infidelity? Or is there something else going on?

Regardless, Niyan decided to talk to Su Rui after the performance ended.

Of course, Honeysuckle noticed her when Mudrock made up her mind. After all, in the scanning field of vision, an individual standing on high ground overlooking this place was too obvious.

'She seems to want to come see you. Is it really just because you know her?'

"Maybe Mudstone is overthinking it? How would I know?"

Volume 7, Chapter 410: Prince Su Rui?

The dance performance ended as the music volume gradually decreased. Suri reached out and took Linglan's hand, leading the little fox, whose legs were a little weak from exhaustion, off the stage. Accompanied by the cheers of the audience who were gradually coming back to their senses, the performance came to an end.

"Alright, after this performance, the restlessness in the audience will subside a lot, and you can feel it yourself, right?"

Suri raised an eyebrow at Seferin, who had watched the entire performance from below.

As an audience member who listened to and watched the performance, Severin naturally felt much calmer inside.

This is not the kind of brainwashing that forcibly infuses happiness and identification into the mind, but simply cleanses the pent-up emotions accumulated in people's hearts.

People whose mood improves as a result will naturally behave more kindly and easily.

This is how the city's stability is achieved. Sedulin looked at Suri with gratitude and nodded to him.

"Thank you all very much for your help. We will not forget the contributions Rhodes Island has made, and all the conditions we promised you will be fulfilled promptly."

This was what they were supposed to do. Su Rui didn't say anything, but took Linglan's wrist, picked up the little girl, and let Linglan sit in his arms.

"Alright, Lisa and I are both a bit tired, let's go back and rest. The place to rest should be ready by now, right?"

“Of course, I’ll have Tatiana take you there.”

Severin nodded, then nodded to Suri: "I have other things to do, so I won't bother you any longer."

Severin turned and left, while Tatiana smiled at Suri: "Please come with me."

Honeysuckle didn't say anything, but moved closer to Su Rui, her hand already on the weapon at her waist: 'That Mudrock is coming.'

“I know, but if she really wanted to do something, she wouldn’t have waited until now.”

As Su Rui spoke, she reassured Ren Dong, "Just wait for her to come over."

As she spoke, Su Rui glanced up at the upper floors and met the gaze of Ni Yan, who was looking down at them.

Mud Rock, who had previously been under Su Rui's command, immediately recognized the look in Su Rui's eyes. He nodded to Su Rui, made a few tactical hand gestures, and then went downstairs.

"It seems she has accepted me."

Even so, we cannot let our guard down.

Honeysuckle glanced at Su Rui, who looked somewhat tired while holding the lily of the valley, and a hint of amusement crept into her voice:

"I know it's hard for you to take care of the child, but for safety's sake, please hold Lisa a little longer."

"Of course I know, tsk, this is nothing to me."

After hearing what Honeysuckle said, Linglan noticed that Suri also seemed a little tired. The kind-hearted girl immediately panicked and tried to get down from Suri's embrace:

"I can walk by myself, let me down, Dad."

"No." Su Rui tightened his arms, pulling Linglan's legs into his embrace, making her unable to move. His tone carried a hint of defiant dissatisfaction.

“I already said, this is nothing to me. It’s just a walk back from here. It won’t take much effort.”

Seeing Su Rui like this, Linglan had no choice but to give up. However, when sitting in Su Rui's lap, the little girl would unconsciously feel a little nervous, afraid that she would tire Su Rui out.

After returning to their temporary accommodations on Rhodes Island, Anto and Aya went to rest, while Mudrock gently knocked on Suri's door after Tajana left.

"Click." With the sound of the door opening, Mudrock was surprised to see the person standing in front of him, a blonde Volper woman with a sharp glint in her eyes.

This was a warrior with rich combat experience, Mudrock immediately realized in his mind.

However, the other party did not make a move, so it was probably a friendly gesture. She turned her gaze to Su Rui, who was sitting side by side with Ling Lan on a soft sofa, her legs swinging slightly as she chewed on a piece of salty jerky.

Having just expended a lot of energy, I should sit down and have some hot drinks and delicious food to replenish my energy.

The nine tails behind them swayed incessantly, occasionally colliding with Lily's tail. However, neither Suri nor Lily minded; on the contrary, they found it quite amusing, fighting with their tails behind each other while eating.

After noticing Niyan, Suri put down her snacks and smiled at her.

"Long time no see, Mudstone. How have you been?"

"Not bad." Mudstone greeted Su Rui somewhat awkwardly, then looked at him:

"Are you really His Highness Prince Su Rui?"

"Of course it's me. I know you have a lot of questions, so just ask and I'll answer them."

Su Rui shrugged. He didn't intend to explain himself. After resolving Ni Yan's questions, he would let her leave.

Mudrock nodded. "Shouldn't you be in Kazdel? And how did you end up like this?"

“That’s not important. Theresa knows about this, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

Suri's words silenced Mudrock's other questions, and the girl nodded after a moment of silence.

"I have no more questions."

"Now it's my turn to ask questions. What brings you here? What is your purpose?"

Seeing Mudrock's appearance, Suri certainly didn't think she was there to attack the city, so she was a little curious. Could it be that she was just fleeing like before? If so, wouldn't all the things he had done in Kazdel have been for nothing?

Mudstone nodded, showing no displeasure at Su Rui's lack of an answer, because this was the Su Rui she knew. She patiently explained:

“We accepted Princess Theresia’s mission to gather the Sarkaz who had been scattered abroad. Many of them are living in poverty and even on the verge of death. Returning to Kazdel would be a good thing for them.”

"I see. No wonder you all look well-equipped, but there are still some people in your team who don't seem to have much combat experience."

Su Rui nodded: "What if they don't want to go back?"

"Princess Theresa does not allow us to force her, so we will not force her to return if she does not wish to."

As Mudrock spoke, perhaps feeling that her description of Naixueer wasn't precise enough, she added:

"However, some special cases are different. If someone clearly has no ability to survive outside but still refuses to go back, we will forcibly tie them up and take them back."

"Simply put, it's about forcibly taking the stubborn child back, right?"

Suri found it somewhat interesting and opened her scanning field of vision to take a look:

"There are Sarkaz here too, do you need my help?"

Volume 7, Chapter 411: Where are we going?

"Is that okay?" Ni Yan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Su Rui with some surprise.

“Well, I am also the coordinator of Kazdel, Your Highness, so it is only right that I do you this small favor.”

As Su Rui spoke casually, he reached out and gently tapped the observation window on the mudstone's "chest," then took out an eyepiece from his system space:

"Use this to mark all the Sarkaz, and you can go find them one by one."

Mudstone nodded and took the goggles: "Thank you for your help. I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, Ni Yan nodded to Su Rui, then turned and left the room where Su Rui was.

Linglan watched Suri and Mud Rock's interaction with curiosity from the side, without saying a word. The little girl just quietly ate the snacks in front of her, replenishing her energy while her big eyes darted around.

Honeysuckle watched Mudrock's departing figure with a somewhat subtle expression: "He clearly looks like a very tall and dangerous warrior, but I never expected that he would have such an image under the protective suit."

"Who knows? But the contrast is quite nice."

Suri shrugged. Lily of the Valley, standing beside him, looked at Suri and Honeysuckle with some confusion as they spoke in cryptic terms. She tilted her head, and her large, fluffy ears twitched.

"Mom and Dad? What are you talking about?"

"I was talking about that person from earlier. Although she looked scary, this is what she looked like underneath her protective suit."

Suri smiled, took out a tablet, and showed Lily the image of Mud Rock after she took off her protective suit.

Lily looked at the older sister on the tablet screen and exclaimed in surprise, "She's a very pretty older sister!"

"She is indeed very beautiful." Having already seen through Su Rui's scanning vision, Ren Dong didn't show much surprise. She simply smiled, walked to Su Rui's side, pinched Su Rui's cheek, and pulled her into her arms.

'You really don't know her at all?'

Honeysuckle seemed unwilling to let Lily of the Valley know about this, so Suri answered her in her mind: "Of course, if there really is a situation, I will tell you directly."

Honeysuckle nodded and smiled at Lily of the Valley: "Little Lisa, are you hungry? Shall we go and make something to eat?"
