"Mud Rock, summon your stone man. Let me see if your summoned stone man can wear heavy armor. I want to test it."

As the "master" gave instructions for the first time, Chu Yun politely mentioned Mudstone's name.

Mudstone, who had been silent, suddenly lit up with a strange look when she was called. This was her first communication with Chu Yun. She was still wondering how to get along with Chu Yun after he finished his work, but Chu Yun took the initiative to talk to her.

A maid is humble, loyal, and is never allowed to interrupt. The moment Chu Yun agreed to Garson's request, Mudstone followed this rule in her heart. Her body and mind were Chu Yun's property, and at the same time, property would not cause trouble to its master.

She had always been a person who was not good at talking. She had specially chosen a set of heavy armor for battle because she did not want to be noticed. Although at this moment, Mudstone did not think so. She wanted to attract the attention of Chu Yun, the Sarkaz hero, so that she and Chu Yun could be like in the books again...

“…Me?”

Mudstone said softly, his face slightly jumping with joy at being named.

"Yes, I want to equip your summons. I've read the files of every Sarkaz mercenary. Your stone men are very helpful on the battlefield, but there's still room for improvement."

Chu Yun chuckled as he elaborated. This was an idea that had recently arisen from the trio: "Your stone man is very powerful, but you might want to change your thinking. Your stone isn't just an ordinary summon. It's a combat unit with high hardness, strong defense, and great destructive power. It can be used for more than just breakthroughs. It can handle both close combat and long-range combat."

Chu Yun knew that Mudstone's Stonemen were terrifying. Just how terrifying were they? Their "S+" durability was a nightmare for every enemy. In the "story," Mudstone didn't even use his full strength, relying on a medic, a sniper, a support, a guard, and a wizard to defeat Mudstone's Stonemen in Warrenmud? That's bullshit! Without a single tank, how could you possibly withstand a Stoneman's punch?

Summoners are the most popular combat units in Terra. As long as the Originium skills are superb, every summoner unit can perform the same actions as "humans". The mudstone stone man can move with purpose and can attack and defend itself. It is simply a perfect "Gundam". If it is a little more intelligent, it will be a living creature.

Chu Yun deduced that since the stone man could swing his fists, could he also "ram" and "project"... This was an unknown. Wearing "clothes" should not be difficult either, as Mudstone's source stone control skills were very strong.

"Melee...ranged?"

Mudstone looked puzzled. She always used the stone man as the "shield" of the team and stood in the front.

"Please summon it first. I'm not in a position to explain this in words."

Chu Yun didn't want to say much, as it would be too troublesome to describe it in detail.

"Yes, Master."

Mud Rock immediately obeyed, closed his eyes and stretched out his right hand to perform the Originium Skill. When Chu Yun heard Mud Rock call him Master, his heart was moved. He shook his head to wipe out the evil thoughts that surged in his mind. He had just wanted to make Mud Rock cry one day... Calm down, he already has a secret plan!

—Boom!

"W-what the hell!?"

Amid Javi's shocked shouts, a group of huge stones that flew in from outside the furnace began to condense and take shape, eventually transforming into a "colossus" with four limbs.

The scene was as mysterious as the birth of a new life. Looking at the stone man who was more than five meters tall and burly, Chu Yun swallowed his saliva. This man was bigger than the Patriot. The stone man couldn't even wear the Patriot's armor.

Fortunately, Mudstone and Deep Sea Color were not of the same species. Summoning 15-meter tentacles to strangle people to death would be too terrifying. To a certain extent, Chu Yun was still thinking about whether Mudstone's stone men could be made smaller. Mudstone estimated that he could summon three 5-meter stone men at most. Mudstone couldn't summon five 3-meter stone men. After all, their endurance was the same...

"Doc, this kid's name is 'Mud' and he said he's happy to meet you."

Mudstone stroked the hard body of the half-kneeling stone man and smiled softly, treating every summoned stone man as his friend.

"Mud..."

Chu Yun didn't want to complain about the name of Mud Rock for a moment. Besides, did the stone man say anything? Jia Wei beside him cheered enthusiastically.

"Doctor, Doctor, you are truly a genius. I know what you are going to do. You want to arm this stone man, right? Leave it to me. I want to personally build equipment for it!"

As soon as he saw the mudstone stone man, his face was filled with excitement. Javi suddenly realized that Chu Yun's intention was not to make armor for humans. This stone man was a real mobile "bunker" and did not need to be modified according to human standards.

What is the most important thing for a “bunker”? It must be “cool”!

"Cool"... Javi is ready to go. Ordinary armor is not worthy of the stone man. Something else must be added!

Javi loves to play spontaneously. Humans have too many limitations, and there's also a range of physical conditions to consider. Summoning creatures is the complete opposite. For example, he could embed spikes in the golem's armor, killing anyone who gets close. Or he could bury a few high-concentration Originium time bombs under the golem's armor, so it would explode right into the enemy camp. Damn, that's so cool. By the way, can this golem use a gun? Each hand holds two modified large Lateran grenade launchers...

"Don't worry, we'll discuss it now and try to come up with a plan today. We'll test the armor tomorrow."

Chu Yun agreed with an even bigger smile, his lips curled up into a happy arc. The two men admired the stone man with a grin as if they had found a treasure, which made Mudstone, who was about to proudly show off his Originium skills, freeze with fear for a moment.

Her master's smile... so scary.

The mudstone and the half-kneeling stone man hugged each other and trembled.

...

Rhode Island.

"Razer, do you think we will succeed?"

After knocking on Rosemary's door, Franka whispered to Razer beside her.

Today they finally took action. After the ordinary operators of Rhodes Island rioted, Franka and Razer realized that the time had come. Due to Rhodes Island's defeat against the Reunion Movement, the conflicts accumulated in Rhodes Island finally broke out with great momentum.

They did not choose to look for Rosemary that day. They had to wait and see the chaos in Rhodes Island. Facts showed that they were disappointed with Kal'tsit again. Kal'tsit only made meaningless compromises but did not know how to reform. Perhaps she did not have the ability to reform and did not know how to live except to follow the rules.

Franka and Razer came to find Rosemary two days after the chaos in Rhodes Island ended. Now the number of spies inside Rhodes Island has decreased a lot. Before knocking on the door, they checked around and found that there was no one nearby. The elite operators were out on missions.

"Success or not doesn't depend on us, Franka. We are just responsible for delivering the message."

Razer whispered, warning Franca not to "cross the line": "We are from Black Steel International. The only one who can change Rhodes Island is Rhodes Island itself. Just because Amiya was deceived doesn't mean Rosemary wasn't deceived. They are just girls."

"Well, I'll keep an eye on it, Razer. At worst, we'll be kicked out by Rhodes Island and go back to Black Steel International. Rhodes Island isn't the only company selling medicine on Terra. It's just that the price is a bit high."

Franka smiled lightly with the corners of her lips raised. She was already prepared to sacrifice the opportunity for Rhodes Island's treatment. She understood what Razer was hinting at. If she went too far and was fired by Black Steel International, she would be doomed. Then she would completely lose the possibility of helping Amiya.

—Crash.

"who are you?"

Rosemary slightly opened the door and half of her head showed out, but did not let Franka and Razer in immediately.

Rosemary did not know Franka and Razer, but in her white diary, she recorded that Franka and Razer were members of her relative Amiya's team, and were later transferred from Amiya's team for violating discipline.

Rosemary was surprised when Franka and Razer came over. She also hid the dark blue diary. She couldn't understand why Franka and Razer wanted to find her - she was Rhodes Island's war machine.

Dr. Kal'tsit always warned her not to communicate with strangers casually, but today, Rosemary unexpectedly broke this rule. While she still had her memory, she wanted to know more unknown information about Rhodes Island... related to the "Doctor".

"Our names are Franka, Razer, and Rosemary."

Franka smiled elegantly and said, "Can we go in and talk? Communication is not very convenient here."

"Um…"

Rosemary responded softly with understanding, and was careful to lock the door after Franka and Razer entered, so that she could react promptly if someone else knocked on the door, usually someone she "knew".

Franka and Razer, who were sitting on the chairs in the room, naturally noticed Rosemary locking the door and looked at each other in surprise.

Finally, when Rosemary sat on the bed opposite them, Franca asked, raising her eyebrows in joy when she noticed Rosemary's "abnormality". If Rosemary was not on guard against someone, why would she lock the door?

"Rosemary... May I ask what you think of Dr. Kel'tsit?"

The truth about Rhodes Island...is about to be "revealed".

……

Chapter 21: Rosemary's Tears

"Rosemary... May I ask what you think of Dr. Kel'tsit?"

This was the first question asked, and Franka confessed everything immediately without rushing.

Because among the female operators of Rhodes Island, they all respect and love Kal'tsit. Popka, Wu Lian, etc., they have "visited" her before. Every female operator of Rhodes Island feels that Kal'tsit is their own relative and trusts her very much.

The reason why they came to find Rosemary is because Rosemary and Amiya are very close. With Rosemary's help, they can let Amiya know the true darkness of Rhodes Island. Popka, Wu Lian and others are not competent for this task. These girl operators are not very familiar with Amiya.

If Rosemary's answer was similar to that of Popka, Wulian and other female operators, Franka and Razer would give up Rosemary's plan to help them. They hoped to help Amiya, but they would not cross the line. Wouldn't it be a joke for Rhodes Island to be saved by the people of Black Steel International? How many times can they save Rhodes Island?

“…Dr. Kelsey?”

Rosemary blinked intelligently. She was about to say that Kal'tsit was her family, but seeing the solemn expressions on Franca and Razer's faces, she changed her words: "I think she's a very good person. She treats me very kindly. I don't dislike her."

"Is he a very good person..."

Franka and Razer breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Good people have flexible moral limits. At least Rosemary doesn't reject contradictory statements.

Franca, who was the first to lose control, said seriously, "Actually, Rosemary, Kal'tsit is not a good person. I hope you can listen to me patiently."

"Not a good person?"

Rosemary's face froze in surprise. This was the first time she had heard such negative comments about Kal'tsit in Rhodes Island.

Many Rhodes Island operators admire Kal'tsit. Kal'tsit is an omniscient sage with a lifespan of ten thousand years on Terra. She also had outstanding achievements in the Tower of Babel. Although Rosemary is not in this category, she also respects Dr. Kal'tsit for her contributions to Rhodes Island.

Is Dr. Kal'tsit a good person? She is indeed a "good person". She always uses Rhodes Island's finances to help some poor operators. She doesn't quite understand what the definition of a good person is. Is Dr. Kal'tsit doing it on purpose, and is willing to misuse Rhodes Island's funds just to make the operators owe her a favor?

She wanted to get news about "The Doctor" from Franka and Razer. When Franka and Razer mentioned Kal'tsit, Rosemary's eyes flickered with a strange glint of interest. She didn't even mind Franka and Razer badmouthing Kal'tsit, she even "hoped" they would curse her even harder...

"Yes, she is not a good person."

Franka said firmly, and then posed a question: "Rosemary, have you ever thought about why you were transformed into a war machine at the age of 16? Did the people who sent you to Rhodes Island make this decision just to watch you fight?"

"I…"

Rosemary was at a loss. She had asked Kal'tsit about this question before, and the answer she got was that she had to "sacrifice" for the short-term development of Rhodes Island, and she had to "sacrifice" for a whole year.

"That's exactly what Kal'tsit wanted to use you, Rosemary. She drove away the doctor who wanted to protect you, a man named Chu Yun!"

Then, Franca gave the answer in a sharp voice, and Rosemary's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Rosemary, you arrived at Rhodes Island when you were 15, and you only have one year of combat experience. Do you know what this means? It means you were chosen to be part of War Machine on your first day at Rhodes Island. This was Kal'tsit's approval!"

"In the past, the doctor wanted to protect girls like you, but he was too impatient. In his impatience, he wanted to completely reform Rhodes Island. He questioned the status of Rhodes Island's "ace players" and wanted to sever ties with the Colombian military and other forces to maintain Rhodes Island's purity. Many interest groups in Rhodes Island hated him and criticized him as a waste."

"As you constantly defeated enemies for Rhodes Island, Rosemary, was this the kind of life you were pursuing? Rhodes Island transformed you into a war machine. Did they ever consider your age and opinions? Dr. Kal'tsit is truly a good person. Why would she take advantage of you, even though you were so young? Why would she, who has lived for thousands of years, not go to the battlefield as a war machine and send you there?"

The more they investigated the deeds of Rhodes Island, the more Franka and Razer admired the doctor. The doctor was so kind that even they, outsiders of Rhodes Island, were ashamed of him.

Who doesn't know that Rhodes Island employs child labor? They know it, but so what? Rhodes Island's policies are not decided by them, but by Kal'tsit.

The Doctor had only been working at Rhodes Island for a few months after emerging from the sarcophagus? How could his authority compare to Kelsey's? Rhodes Island was no longer the Tower of Babel; it was a pharmaceutical company "starting over." Its former power had long since been shaken up, and it was also invaded by the idea of ​​"sugar-coated bullets" and "debauchery."

The doctor took too big a step and could not bear to see Rhodes Island becoming more and more decadent, so he looked for various opportunities to seek change. However, the conservative interest groups in Rhodes Island were not vegetarians. The doctor's actions symbolized that they would be the "victims" of reform and they would definitely fight back.

If Franka and Razer are not mistaken, the Doctor's willpower may be a remnant of his habits from the Tower of Babel. The Doctor is responsible for reform, while Princess Theresa is responsible for maintaining the cake for all parties. The two complement each other and move forward together. Otherwise, the Doctor's approach does not make sense. How could the Doctor, who had just arrived in a strange place, have the courage to make such a big change in Rhodes Island?

But Princess Theresa died, and only the Doctor was left in Rhodes Island.

Without a leader to cut the cake for all forces, the doctor, the reformer, will only be attacked by the conspiracy of various interest groups. Even if the doctor wants to cut the cake for various forces, he will not be able to do so. The various interest groups in Rhodes Island will not allow the doctor to take the knife. Maybe the doctor will not cut the cake but them instead.

The Doctor's start was terrible, incredibly bad. He had no real power at all. As soon as he arrived in Rhodes Island, he was sidelined by Kal'tsit. Kal'tsit didn't tell the Doctor any secrets and just kept telling him riddles. Some elite operators, encouraged by Kal'tsit, bullied the Doctor. How could the Doctor rectify Rhodes Island?!

An ace with a group of teammates who are dragging the team down can't be led no matter how good they are... Franka and Razer sighed and felt sorry for the doctor.

They regretted that the Doctor woke up too late and Kal'tsit took control of the real power. They also regretted that the Doctor suffered injustice in Rhodes Island and suffered for several months.

How could a normal person continue to stay in this place after being bullied? Why did the doctor resign only a few months ago? Is it still unclear? There are operators in Rhodes Island that the doctor likes, such as Rosemary.

Even when being bullied, we never forget our original intention and the pace of reform never stops.

He also protected Rosemary and other operators when they were bullied. During the few months that the doctor was there, Rosemary and other underage girl operators did not carry out a single mission.

The Doctor endured being insulted, beaten, and blackmailed by Rhodes Island's operators alone. Even though Rosemary and the others were unaware and were kept in the dark by Rhodes Island's top brass and had heard rumors that they were hostile to the Doctor, the Doctor didn't mind. The Doctor just wanted to quietly watch over Rosemary and the other operators because he was their "Doctor."

But the doctor is still a human being, he can get angry too!

The Doctor has resigned, and Franka and Razer are so relieved. Unfortunately, Rosemary and the other female operators are about to be exploited by Rhodes Island again. If the Doctor doesn't return, they'll either die or become disabled sooner or later. Do you really think underage female operators won't be in danger while carrying out missions? They don't have the mental capacity to handle crises independently.

“…Are you telling the truth?”

Rosemary clenched her hands tightly, her voice trembling. "Doctor, are you really fighting Kal'tsit for me... for Wu Lian and the others? You haven't compromised?"

"It's true, Rosemary. Many things don't make sense once you think about them. Don't your hands shake every time you do a mission? Why do you have to repay me in this way? Your abilities are so useful, but Rhodes Island chose to use them in war. Rhodes Island is even proud of your title: a war machine who fought for Rhodes Island at the age of 16."

Franca sighed sadly. She had said everything she needed to say, but there was nothing she could do if Rosemary still didn't believe her. They couldn't wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep.

"..."

Rosemary said nothing, and a crystal tear flowed from her eye socket in front of Franka and Razer's shocked gazes, without even noticing it.

After hearing Franka's words, all the hazy memories in Rosemary's mind finally became clear. The one who tenderly hugged her was the Doctor, the one who said he would save her was the Doctor, the one who had a heated argument with Kal'tsit in the lab was the Doctor, and the man she stole a kiss from was also the Doctor...

There were still a few scenes she couldn't remember. The Originium technique used during the "examination" in the medical department destroyed her memory... Rosemary widened her eyes slightly. She had never hated Rhodes Island's medical department as much as she did now.

Is that dark blue diary a record of her memories with the Doctor?

She had anticipated this day and kept a diary on purpose... Didn't want to forget the doctor?

"Rosemary, we..."

Razer said this with a slight shame, and in everyone's eyes Rosemary was already in tears.
