I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

Returning to the seventy-fourth night and day

Daylight did not leave Kazdel.

He was pondering and weighing whether the bargaining chips offered by the Demon King were worth exchanging for another chance to enter the game.

There was one more thing he wanted to see if this demon king had the ability and the courage to abandon those foolish old habits that were the very foundation of the Sarkaz's power.

Bloodthirsty demons, cannibalistic Wendigos, ghouls that desecrate corpses...

They are one of the reasons why the Sarkaz are hated, and also a symbol of the Sarkaz's power.

Civilization is not just about elegance and justice; decay and inferiority are also inseparable parts of it. They form a closed loop, jointly driving the progress of civilization.

If she is willing to deprive her people and community of any further possibility...

No, it won't happen.

Bai Zhou chuckled softly, and a strong wind arose from it, blowing the dust and leaves away into the distance.

Although they had only met a few times, no matter how gentle and frail she appeared, she was always the hero and king sung about by the Sarkaz.

He was a person with a more resolute heart than anyone else.

Such a person, Bai Zhou doesn't believe the other party would cut off their own escape route.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. A? What are you doing here all alone?"

That strange voice with its peculiar tone...

Bai Zhou turned around and looked at her.

"Why would a professor have the leisure to come here to relax?"

"Answering a question with a question is not the wisest choice for a lady, Mr. A."

"Besides, I believe that with your wisdom, you already know the purpose of my visit... no, would pleading make someone like you feel happier?"

The evil spirit slowly approached him. The wind made her clothes rustle, and her thin body looked like it was about to fall. Bai Zhou wondered if she would fall off the top of the tower if the wind were stronger.

“You are Theresa’s advisor, and our relationship is one of collaboration. It would be too formal to ask for anything in return.”

Bai Zhou was very curious about the person in front of her.

Because of her, the system changed its data recording method once again.

[Xi, her information is very peculiar... she's from a race older than any currently known human species...]

Perhaps we can glean more information about this world from her.

The system is very active, behaving like a child who has discovered a new toy.

"In that case, my dear partner, may I learn more about the details of that plan from you?"

"Or rather... I'm sorry, please wait a moment."

The evil spirit removed her hood, revealing her beautiful face.

She was very pale, but not in a healthy way; rather, she had a pale, old-wood-bark-like pallor.

"Would you like some snacks?"

She took out a small piece of Originium from her large pocket.

Then, like a child eating rock candy, they chewed that tiny piece of the demon that the Terrans feared to death into tiny pieces.

"?"

Is this person... alright?

Although Bai Zhou had long since ignored Originium, even he wouldn't be so idle as to eat that junk as a snack.

"Won't eating random things give you an upset stomach?"

"No, no, this stuff is like an energy booster for me, similar to what Kal'tsit usually drinks."

As she spoke, she spat out a few pebbles.

"Pah! So the purity is still not high enough."

The doctor sighed regretfully. The Tower of Babel wasn't yet so extravagant as to use pure Originium as employee benefits.

"she……"

"You seem to be quite close to Kal'tsit? I heard from His Highness that he once saw you playing around with her?"

"Our relationship... used to be... pretty good."

"It's just nice... I don't believe that someone who talks about someone's name in their sleep is not even a friend of that person in reality."

As she expected, the doctor's words aroused the dragon's curiosity.

"Doctor seems to know her very well?"

"I only overheard a little bit when I was occasionally out of consciousness and in a coma and was being cared for by her. My relationship with her... is entirely maintained by Your Highness."

If His Highness were to pass away one day, she would probably be considered the prime suspect by that guy.

Is that all?

That's all.

The doctor regained her composure and even drank hot water before leaving. Now that she was both rational and hopeful, she naturally wouldn't speak recklessly.

"However, if you want to know more, I don't mind offending M3. Hopefully, the wind won't be too strong at the top of the Tower of Babel at four in the morning."

"No need. I don't want to be blamed by your prince for ruining our friendship. After all, the gentler a person is, the more terrifying they can be when they get angry."

"Even someone as great as you would care about the sorrows of ordinary people?"

"Those who are wise cannot be free from emotional troubles."

Indeed, the joy of a successful scheme is always intoxicating.

Bai Zhou glanced at the evil spirit with its fake smile and seemed to be thinking of an interesting future.

"Are you good at winning with fewer troops?"

"I only know a little about military strategy. Since Your Highness has mentioned me, an unknown nobody, Your Highness must have said that what I am more good at is actually... the medical field... probably."

"If it weren't for Your Highness, you might have seen me offering incense to you in some city of the Great Yan Dynasty."

The dragon was very tall; the doctor had to keep looking up to see its face.

"Is that so...? That might be interesting. But in my opinion, the Doctor is probably the kind of person who will solve problems on his own."

"Haha, you're mistaken. I'm actually very good at making full use of all the resources around me."

"But the more I use cunning, the more I realize that there are limits to the human species."

"What does the doctor mean?"

The doctor took out another piece of Originium, which was of the purest quality.

Do you think I have the potential to surpass human limits?

She handed the Originium to the True Dragon just as she had the first time.

"Would you like a piece, Your Majesty?"

"...You have quite the courage, Doctor."

Bai Zhou took the source stone and rubbed and played with it in his hands.

"But there are various risks involved..."

"Since we have made up our minds, what we can foresee is no longer considered dangerous."

"Is that so..."

Bai Zhou looked at her and smiled, then gazed into the distance, looking down at the horizon.

Darkness will soon rise there and then cover the earth.

"So, Your Majesty, what is the price?"

The doctor put her hood back on, looking at the thin black cord on her wrist with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"The price... Just take her with you, Doctor. Give it your all and let me see if she can keep her promise."

"In that case, please take a seat."

She has another blessing attached to her, Xi, shouldn't we deal with it?

There's no need to rush.

During the day, I look up at the sky.

There were old acquaintances of his there.

"Neither the sea, the land, nor the sky can stop us anymore."

Countless images flashed through the dragon's eyes, each encompassing everyone.

"What He expects is us at that time."

Back to Theresa, number seventy-five, I'll sleep in your room tonight.

"No matter what the doctor said... please don't take it to heart."

As soon as the doctor left, the big cat that had been secretly observing jumped out.

"Are you begging me, Kal'tsit?"

Bai Zhou turned around, dispersing the wind around the two of them.

Looking at the lynx in front of him, whose complexion had improved considerably, his expression softened.

"I can tell you what we talked about, and I can tell you what the Doctor is planning. As long as..."

Bai Zhou raised his hand, wanting to smooth her hair that had been blown about by the wind.

"No, I think you've misunderstood. I'm not interested in what she wants to do. I just wanted to warn you... Ha, I suppose you've already seen through her bottom line. I'm not so clever as to gossip in front of you."

The lynx took a half step back, its words revealing its indifference towards the doctor.
