People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Forget it, don't think about it. This land has never left anyone with time to think about useless things. In order to escape the predetermined ending, we must run like crazy until our legs lose feeling, until our lungs are burned by the air, until we pass the arrogant creator and reach a new world where we can live in peace.

He pointed at a word on the medical record with his slender finger and slowly swiped it away.

It wasn't until the fingertips left that the word was exposed to the air.

Originiums.

Pushing open the door of Charmander's ward, Saria was flipping through the storybook Ifrit gave her, reading the story slowly.

To be honest, it was pronounced very stiffly.

But Ifrit really liked listening to it.

When Fang Zhou saw Saria in the ward, he thought Hummer's face would turn worse, but he saw Hummer's face was as usual. He walked calmly to Ifrit's side and interrupted Saria's story time in the latter's somewhat unhappy eyes.

"Saria, the Doctor is here."

Saria immediately closed the storybook and looked at Fang Zhou who was standing at the door.

"Well, without further ado, please let me take a look."

Fang Zhou walked over and stretched out a hand towards her under Charmander's wary and suspicious eyes.

At this time, Ark was also paying attention to Charmander's appearance.

At this time, Ifrit's appearance was obviously different from what Ark remembered.

The original spiral horns made of Originium that resembled the Sarkaz had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the still frizzy golden hair hanging down on the shoulders, and the traces of burnt hair at the ends had also disappeared.

Behind it, the tail that was also covered with Originium-like scales was now only covered with fine and dense scales, no longer as rough and deformed as before.

There is no doubt that at this time, the changes in Ifrit's body brought by the Fire Demon fragments have disappeared without a trace, leaving only the racial characteristics of Savra that she should have originally had.

But there is one last bit left.

Fang Ark slowly released a little bit of fire magic energy, but unfortunately, the fire magic energy no longer had any reaction to Ifrit at this time, which made Fang Ark look at Charmander seriously.

"Ifrit, I have a question for you, can you answer it?"

The suspicion in Ifrit's eyes did not disappear, but with Saria and Hummer by his side, that vigilance had been reduced a lot.

"Well, ask me, and I will answer you well."

Although somewhat reluctant, Ifrit still generously allowed Fang Ark to ask questions, and the latter also spoke after confirming some things after repeated sensing.

"Can you still control the flames now?"

Chapter 73: The Silent Flame Demon

"Can you still control the flames?"

Faced with Fang Ark's question, Ifrit was stunned for a moment.

Then he took a look at his body.

Such obvious physical changes can be seen by others at a glance, so how could Ifrit not feel it?

And all this happened after I woke up yesterday.

Its horns shattered into small pieces of stone, and the large pieces of Originium scales on its tail dissolved into dregs, revealing the normal scales that had been suppressed underneath. However, none of these obvious changes could make Charmander feel as happy as another change.

Such changes are not reflected in the external body, but in the internal spirit.

Since waking up last night, Ifrit has never felt so refreshed.

The voice that had been lingering in his mind, constantly telling him that there was no hope for this land, that the adults were just using him, and that both Saria and Hemer were just treating him as an experimental subject, disappeared.

The pain caused by the oripathy that often made her speechless has now disappeared. If it weren't for the Originium crystal on her collarbone reminding her that she has not yet gotten rid of her identity as an oripathy patient, Ifrit might have thought that her oripathy has been cured by now.

But the problem that Fang Zhou mentioned.

Because except for the fact that she was in a rather depressed state for a long time at the beginning because she recalled the heinous disasters she had committed when she turned into a rampaging fire demon, and she barely recovered until Saria told her that she would bear everything with her, Ifrit's mental state has been in a relatively peaceful state since then. She no longer felt irritable because of the pain as before, and naturally she no longer had the feeling of always wanting to burn something.

So from the time he woke up until now, Ifrit naturally had not used his Originium skills again, so when Ark asked him about this question now, Ifrit was a little dazed for a moment, and then he came to his senses and showed that familiar perverse smile.

"That's natural. Controlling fire is something like that for me... huh?"

However, just as Ifrit was responding to Ark's question, she suddenly looked at her hands in surprise.

Everyone present turned their eyes to Ifrit's palm, where a small flame was burning quietly.

There was no crackling sound, only a small, weak heat source slowly releasing its heat to let people around know that it was a ball of fire.

"It seems you still retain the ability to control fire."

"No, that's not right."

Ifrit suddenly spoke, his tone somewhat urgent, and his eyes looked at Saria anxiously.

"Sareya! My Originium skills, my Originium skills, I don't know why they suddenly became so weak!"

Become weaker!

Saria frowned, a gleam flashed in Fang Zhou's eyes, but Hemer didn't know why, but he felt a sense of security in his heart.

"It has become weaker. It has definitely become weaker."

Ifrit stared at the flame in his hand and unconsciously increased his strength. However, even though he was trying hard to use the Originium technique, the flame that rose at most grew from a small flame to a big flame, and then turned into a small flame with a blazing desire.

But this was already the limit. After that, no matter how Ifrit tried to push his Originium skills to create a bigger flame, he only felt a sense of emptiness and weakness in his body. In the end, the flame in his hand even dissipated out of thin air, leaving only a little residual warmth in the air to prove that the flame had been there.

"So that's how it happened. It caused such an impact."

"Hey, do you know why I became like this? Tell me quickly!"

Even without the influence of the Fire Demon, Ifrit's eccentric personality has already been established.

Fang Zhou, who was grabbed by the collar by Ifrit kneeling on the bed, looked calmly at the anxious girl in front of him. He only spoke slowly until the latter was stopped by Hemer and Saria sat back on the bed.

"Because the fragment of the Balrog in your body has been deactivated, normally, even if the fragment of the Balrog in your body loses its activity, you will not turn back into the original normal Safra and lose the power that the Balrog once gave you.

Because this is the Balrog DNA already expressed in you, transforming you from a Zafira into a Sarkaz. These physiological characteristics are already fixed, and they cannot disappear. However, there is an external factor in this change."

Control the header.

Everyone present thought of this thing, but Ifrit didn't know what it was called. However, she knew that Amiya had borrowed power from her at that time, and the big watch that changed in her hand at that time should be the external factor mentioned by the man in the helmet in front of her.

"Does that mean as long as... uh, as long as..."

As long as he gets the watch back, he will get back his former power.

But I had these words in my heart, but I couldn't say them out loud.

Because the fleeting scene of herself transforming into a giant monster and burning down the block was still vivid in her mind, Saria told herself last night that the losses and casualties caused by the rampage of the fire demon were now circling in her mind.

If I get that power back, will I still...

Ifrit's wandering eyes accidentally caught sight of the bandaged areas on Saria's body. Panic rose in her heart, and she curled up into a ball and sat on the bed, not saying a word for a while.

But if he didn't have that power, how could he help Saria? He was having trouble even maintaining a small flame. Wouldn't that make him drift further and further away from Saria?

"Although losing power is bad news, I believe Dr. Hemer and Ms. Saria. You should have examined Ifrit yesterday, right? After the fire demon was deactivated, her condition should have improved more than a little."

When talking about this topic, a hint of joy flashed in Hemer's eyes, and his expression when looking at Charmander became much gentler.

"Well, after Ifrit woke up yesterday, although he was a little weak, Saria and I immediately ran various tests on him, including one for oripathy.

Both I, White-Faced Owl, and Saria joined in the analysis of the inspection report, and finally we were able to confirm that Ifrit's oripathy had improved.

Just like what happened to Dr. Kal'tsit some time ago, it was quite incredible. The binding rate of Ifrit's somatic cells and Originium dropped from 19% to 5%, and the density of Originium particles in the blood also dropped from 0.51uL to 0.27uL. It can be said that Ifrit has now turned back into a mildly infected person, and the previously determined treatment plan also needs to be changed synchronously.

I think the pain she will suffer from oripathy will be greatly reduced in the future."

If enduring that torture could buy me the strength to help Saria, I would rather...

The words were stuck in Ifrit's throat, but she couldn't say it out loud because she saw Hemer's extremely joyful expression. It had been a long time since she saw such a high spirited expression from her.

And Saria also showed a look of relief.

"Are you a little upset about losing your power?"

At this moment, Fang Zhou suddenly looked at Ifrit, and his voice was gentle, like a gurgling mountain spring flowing into Ifrit's heart, which was full of turbulent waves and mixed emotions.

"Humph."

Charmander, with complicated feelings, obviously didn't want to pay attention to Fang Ark, but the next words Fang Ark said made her open her eyes wide and look at him with anticipation.

"But it's not impossible for your strength to recover, Dr. Hemer. Don't look at me like that. It's not what you think."

Fang Ark said this and then looked at Ifrit. Then, under the incredible looks of Hemer and Salia, he took out two thick books from his arms and from the thin clothes.

One of them is "An Introduction to Originium Arts", published by an organization called the Staff of Kings in Victoria, and the other is a Victorian dictionary.

"As I said, although the Fire Demon's power has left you, the gifts it left you will not disappear easily. Your talent and adaptability in Originium techniques remain at their original levels. If you want to regain your original power, then go and learn how to use Originium techniques and how to improve your Originium techniques."

"I don't want to! I don't want to read!"

However, what Fang Zhou did not expect was that when he saw the two thick books he took out, Ifrit's eyes showed obvious resistance.

Ah, he understood this feeling of not wanting to study, he understood it, he understood it, he had experienced it all at that age.

"It's okay if you don't want to learn, but don't you want to become stronger? Didn't you say you wanted to..."

Fang Zhong signaled to Ifrit with his eyes, who glanced to the side seemingly inadvertently. Saria's resolute face made her expression pause slightly, and then she showed a look of struggle.

After a moment's silence, Ifrit snatched the book "Introduction to Originium Techniques" from Fang Zhou's hand as if he was upset.

"I, I understand. I will learn it. I will learn it well!"

Looking at the unhappy Ifrit, Fang Ark laughed silently. Finally, he stood up and, under Hemer's complicated gaze, explained some follow-up matters about Ifrit, such as treatment plan and daily life, to her and Saria before leaving the ward.

But before leaving, Fang Ark looked back at Ifrit and said, "Oh, by the way, the author of that book, the organization called the Staff of Kings, also has an operator stationed on Rhodes Island. I remember her codename is Skyfire, and she also uses flame-based Originium techniques.

If you want to delve deeper into Originium techniques, you might want to seek her out for help. However, the members of the Staff of the King are often arrogant, and Skyfire is no exception. I wonder how many rejections you'll have to endure before you accept her as your teacher. It's best to learn the basics, especially the vocabulary, before becoming her apprentice.

Having said this, Fang Zhou left the ward.

Ifrit and Saria looked at each other in silence until Saria noticed Ifrit's eyes were fixed on a certain part of the book. Then she asked, "What's wrong, Ifrit? Is there something you don't understand?"

As soon as Saria asked, Ifrit's face immediately turned red, and he glanced at Hemer cautiously. The latter seemed to realize something, his eyebrows immediately raised, and he walked forward to ask Saria's question again.

Charmander looked embarrassed as she slowly read the first word of the page she was reading.

"Um... Saria, what does this word mean?"

Hemer and Saria looked at the book and found that what Ifrit was referring to was fire, which means fire in Victorian.

Hemer's eyes, which were originally filled with joy because Ifrit's condition had improved, suddenly turned cold, but there was still a gentle smile on his face. However, that smile made Ifrit frightened, because the last time she saw this smile was when she did not complete the homework assigned by Hemer on time.

"Ifrit, I remember I taught you this word a long time ago. Joyce was there at the time. In order to make you remember it, she wrote a four-page paper called 'fire' and left this word as homework. Speaking of this, I remembered it now."

Hemer's eyes seemed to become even colder, and Ifrit unconsciously leaned towards Saria.

"You didn't even finish that assignment on time, and you didn't even turn it in later."

"Hemer, Hemer, listen to me, I, I know, it's... it's... ah..."

"You kid!!"

"Wait a minute, Hummer. Ifrit just woke up from her coma. Maybe she just happened to forget. Ask her to think about it again!"

"Don't talk!"

"Ahhh! Saria, save me!"

——————————————————————————————————

Chapter 74: The Banshee

The educational comedy in the ward made Fang Zhou smile knowingly, but it did not allow him to divert his attention from the person in front of him.

The style looks like some kind of military uniform, but it is embellished with many gorgeous and complicated decorations. Golden patterns can be vaguely seen on the long horns extending backwards, as if to announce the nobility of the person in front.

Logos, one of Rhodes Island's elite operators, carries the blood of the Banshee Court, one of the ten royal courts of the Sarkaz. He is also the offspring of the former High Banshee of the Banshee Court and the current Lord of the Banshee Court.

It can be said that the appearance of Logos on Rhodes Island now represents the current position of the Banshee Court. It's just a pity that the secluded Banshee Court is still unwilling to come out and lend all its power to Rhodes Island even if the Lord of the Court has stated his position.

but now……

"Doctor, there are some things I would like to discuss with you."

The banshee's voice is gentle and magnetic, like the attraction of gravity, drawing people towards her every moment.

"Well, that's just right. I think I have something to talk to you about as well."

Lord of the Royal Court, well, this identity means that Logos has the power to handle all affairs of the Banshee Royal Court.

Perhaps, Amiya can get the third driving watch head without any loss.
