People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

After leaving the medical department, Fang Ark glanced around the office and didn't see Kal'tsit. Recalling the medical record he had glanced at before, he thought she must have gone for surgery.

Taking Logos back to his office, Fang Zhou made some tea and asked him to sit down first.

"Well, when was the last time we met, Doctor?"

After taking a sip of the black tea brewed by Ark, Logos' serious expression relaxed a little. His eyes followed Fang Ark's movements and saw the electronic expression (ˇ_ˇ) on the other's black helmet.

"The last time we met was about a year ago? Most of my memories of you stop a year ago, Logos."

A straw extended from under the helmet. Seeing the other party drinking black tea with the straw, Logos' originally relaxed brows furrowed again. He naturally disapproved of the elegant behavior of the banshee.

"Phew, Doctor, if you feel uncomfortable, you can take off your helmet. Speaking of which, neither I, Ace, nor that Scout have ever seen your true face, Doctor. Has Kal'tsit seen it?"

The topic suddenly turned to this, and Logos' eyes were filled with curiosity. When he walked into the medical department just now, he seemed to have heard some interesting stories about the Doctor and Kal'tsit in the morning. It was said that these stories came from the mouth of a blood demon who was now hanging on the bridge.

Well, if the Doctor and Dr. Kal'tsit really have that kind of tendency, I wonder if that doctor has ever seen his true appearance?

"I've seen it."

"...Doctor, I think this is discrimination. The brothers haven't even seen your face yet. How can you show it to a woman?"

?

Fang Zhou paused holding the teacup.

No, that's what you care about?

Fang Zhou looked at Logos in surprise. Although he had known since he learned that the outrageous office transfer race was hosted by Logos, this seemingly aloof Banshee Lord was actually a cheerful young man. After all, this guy was really not that old, even younger than Warfarin and Krosir.

But when the other party said this at this time, Fang Zhou seemed to have returned to the time more than ten years ago when he and those bad friends were joking with each other.

Fang Zhou, briefly stunned, slowly came back to his senses and looked at Logos. The electronic expression on his helmet also turned into a big '?'

"You should know that Kelsey is solely responsible for my physical examination."

"Ah."

"Then why do you think I could resist showing her my face?"

"Ok?"

Fang Zhou chuckled twice, then slowly took off his helmet.

"Forget it, forget it. This isn't something worth hiding anyway."

His short gray hair flew up as he took off his helmet and shook his head twice, his silver-gray eyes meeting the banshee's pale red eyes.

The handsome face that was no less handsome than that of the banshee made Logos whistle in surprise. Ark should be thankful that he only whistled instead of blowing his bone whistle for himself.

"So the Doctor is so secretive because he's too handsome and worried about getting into trouble? Yeah, that's understandable. It's a pity, you're handsome enough, but not as handsome as me."

It’s certain that this guy Logos is a cold-faced handsome guy when you’re not familiar with him, but a cold-faced Husky when you get to know him.

Well, that's good. It reminded him of the group of dogs that shared the same dormitory with him in college.

This kind of personality made Fang Zhou feel a little sentimental, but it only lasted for a moment.

"That's enough, you didn't come to me just to see what I look like, did you?"

"Of course not."

When Fang Ark brought the topic back to the main point of Logos's visit, the young banshee's expression finally returned to seriousness.

"I heard something from Ace. This matter has recently started to spread within Rhodes Island, especially from a certain Sarkaz mercenary."

A certain mercenary, haha, although the name was not mentioned, the American cockroach's wanton laughter had already appeared in Fang Ark's mind.

"..."

Fang Zhou did not respond to Logos's words. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of red tea, waiting silently for Logos' next words.

"It's about Amiya."

As expected, I came here for this question.

But it's a bit late.

I thought that after returning from Canaan, this matter would begin to spread and ferment, and then the Sarkaz in Rhodes Island would take action. As a result, Askalon did not react at all, and Scout, who participated in several operations, did not raise any opinions on this. It was not until now that Logos came forward to inquire about this matter.

The next question is probably about controlling the watch head.

"A control watch that carries the history of the Sarkaz. Doctor, that's how the Knight System item Amiya uses is defined, right?"

Logos's eyes sharpened, but the Ark remained motionless.

"The history of Goliath and the history of the Balrog are now in Amiya's hands, right?"

Logos leaned on the back of the sofa, but Fang Ark glanced outside the door as if unintentionally.

Are you listening outside the door?

Oh, we have been discussing this matter for the past few days, and have only now made a decision?

"But for you, the more explosive news shouldn't just be the fact that Amiya holds the historical power of the Sarkaz, but also Theresa's, right?

But haven't you asked Kel'tsit? I'm sure Kel'tsit wouldn't beat around the bush with you on this question."

Fang Zhou did not talk about controlling the watch head, but talked about Theresa. The breath hidden outside the door was slightly disordered for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"We can naturally ask Kal'tsit about this matter, but you should know more about the Knight System than the Doctor who brought it back."

Well, should we focus our inquiry on the Knight System?

Yes, you can ask Logos if he is willing to condense the Banshee to control the watch head.

"Well, you've probably heard from Scout about Zi-O, Amiya's current identity, and their future, right? Logos, and... Askalon."

——————————————————————————————

Chapter 75: King, Why Did You Become King?

"Well, you've probably heard from Scout about Zi-O, Amiya's current identity, and their future, right? Logos, and... Askalon."

When Fang Zhou called his name, Askalon, who had been waiting outside the door, opened the door. His cold and hard face showed an expression that would make ordinary people retreat in fear.

"So Doctor, when did you discover me?"

"When Logos was waiting for me outside Ifrit's ward, I noticed you were nearby when I came out and saw him."

Taking a sip of black tea, Fang Zhou looked at Askalon's shocked expression with enjoyment.

incredible.

This was Askalon's only thought now. As one of the few people who could be called a Sarkaz assassination master, although a little arrogant, Askalon was confident that his hiding skills would never be discovered except by those old monsters in the royal court.

Even after the huge blow of Theresa's death, Ascalon still maintained his confidence as a master assassin after returning to Rhodes Island. But just now, the man in front of him, the man who was once powerless, said that he had noticed him when he just started following him.

"Don't look at me with that look of disbelief or as if I've tricked you. The main reason is that your hiding technique really played into my hands. If you had used a different type of hiding technique, I might not have discovered you so early, but you..."

Fang Zhou paused for a moment.

"The concealment technique you use draws on the shadow manipulation and warp sorcery of the lich clan. It's a hiding technique where you hide yourself in the shadows and follow your target. But coincidentally, the ability I possess is specifically designed to counter those of you who use shadows."

As he spoke, a huge black shadow spread from under Fang Zhou's feet and instantly swallowed up the entire office. At that moment, Askalon was stunned for a moment, and felt as if he was swallowed up into an extremely large and strange space. There was the territory of shadows, where no shadow could hide. There, shadows came to life.

————!

The shadow disappeared into thin air.

Logos looked at Ark in shock and vigilance, while Askalon stroked his heaving chest with his hand and looked up at Ark with fear in his eyes.

"Doctor, it seems that you brought back more than just the Knight System this time when you returned to Rhodes Island."

"Don't be so vigilant. You should understand by now that assisting a king requires more than just wisdom. If you only have wisdom but no weapons, then the last use of your wisdom will be figuring out how to open a coffin that's been nailed shut."

As if he felt that Fang Zhou was hinting at something, Askalon frowned and stared at Fang Zhou, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction.

"Actually, you should have learned a lot from Scout. After all, regarding Zi-O, I didn't hide anything from them back then, and there's no need to hide anything."

Logos nodded slightly when he heard this, and after Askalon stood behind him, he said that he had heard from Scout about things including but not limited to the so-called King of Time and History, the King Beyond Time and Space, and he also had a preliminary understanding of controlling the watch head and the historical power of the Sarkaz.

"Yeah, that's pretty much it. It seems Scout is a bit shrewd. Yeah, I remember Rhodes Island doesn't seem to have a clear office in Sargon. After all, the Pasha there is quite difficult to communicate with. Well, since Scout is so eloquent, why not let him work overtime?"

Cold sweat streamed down Logos' forehead, and even Ascalon almost couldn't hold it back.

This is revenge, right? It's revenge without any disguise.

I feel really sorry for Scout, but this was already discussed when we came here. Now that the Doctor has expressed his intention to retaliate against you for your disloyalty, there's nothing I can do to help you. Well, I'll prepare two extra bottles of sunscreen for you.

"So now that you understand, what do you think?"

He gestured for Ascalon to sit down, and under Logos's curious gaze, he took out a cup from somewhere, poured a cup of black tea and placed it in front of her.

"Once upon a time, Her Highness Theresa firmly believed that the divisions within the Sarkaz would eventually be unified. Only then could the Sarkaz, Kazdel, forge a new path amidst the siege and blockade of other nations."

Logos crossed his arms and his eyes became deep, as if he was reminiscing about the pure white king.

"But the corrupt royal court, with their short-sightedness, prevented them from seeing His Highness's love, nor from understanding His Highness's greatness. They only feared His Highness's ideals, and ultimately caused everything to fall apart."

Having said this, the young banshee looked quite angry, but soon the emotion revealed in her words was suppressed, making her elegant and steady again.

There was a gleam in his eyes, and he seemed to be hesitating about a decision in his heart. Finally, he made up his mind after a moment and looked at Fang Zhou with burning eyes.

"The ancient royal court was once the pillar of the Sarkaz's progress, but now, the roots of the ancient court have long since decayed, and the crown of the current royal court still refuses to fall to the ground.

It is absurd that dead things are still stealing nutrients from the already barren land, thus depriving it of all possibility of new life."

With a calm look in his eyes, Fang Zhou understood that the banshee and the master assassin appeared before him perhaps because they had already made their decision in their hearts.

Coming here now is just to announce their decision.

"Doctor, I want to see Amiya."

"So, in the final analysis, you came to me without asking anything, right? Then why don't you just go to Amiya?"

Ark looked at Logos and Ascalon with a bit of a smile and tears in his eyes, but under their gazes he could only retract the question and raise his hands to express surrender, then connected to Amiya's communication via PRTs.

"Doctor? What's going on?"

The clear voice of the little rabbit came from there, along with the noisy conversations of other operators. It seemed that the work at the control center was quite busy.

"Look, Amiya. Logos wants to see you to discuss something about Zi-O. If you're not busy right now, please come over."

There was a brief silence on Amiya's side. The little rabbit's head was spinning rapidly, and then he agreed immediately.

"I know, I'll be there right away."

After the call was disconnected, Fang Zhou put away the terminal. Then, facing the completely confused looks of an assassination master and a spell master opposite him, he took out two cakes that looked like they had just been baked from his coat pocket and placed them in front of them. Then he took out two more cakes and placed them in front of himself and beside him.

"Don't be so tense all the time. Eating some desserts from time to time can help relieve your mental tension. If you're always so tense, you'll age quickly, even if you're Sarkaz. And don't worry, just because I'm giving it to you means it's safe. It uses food-grade white sugar."

Seeing that he had picked up the cake and was enjoying it with a look of enjoyment, Logos and Ascalon naturally would not be polite. After all, in this land, desserts like cakes that use a lot of sugar are still considered luxury foods.

Because of the natural disaster, sugar production has always been in short supply on the Terra continent. Only industry uses a large amount of industrial sugar, but that sugar is not edible. However, there are many cases on the Terra continent where people die from excessive consumption of industrial sugar in pursuit of sweetness despite their financial situation.

After everyone had been enjoying dessert for a while, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and soon there was a knock on the office door.

Fang Zhou put down the plate and fork, said "Come in", and then the door was slowly opened. The first thing that caught people's eyes was a pair of ears that were very upright even in Carters.

"Doctor, I'm here. Hello, Mr. Logos and Ms. Ascalon."

When she saw Ascalon, Amiya seemed a little surprised.

As the leader of Rhodes Island, he naturally knew that there was a master assassin from the Sarkaz clan on the Tower of Babel, and that after the collapse of the Tower of Babel, the master assassin left for a while and returned again. However, she had never seen Askalon in nearly a year, and only knew that he was directly under Kal'tsit's leadership. She did not expect that their first meeting today would happen so hastily.

"Please sit down, Amiya. There's no one here, and there's cake. The control center has been working very hard lately, so eating something sweet will give your brain some rewards, and it can also be considered a treat for yourself."

"Well, thank you, Doctor."

Seeing the neatly cut chocolate mousse on the table, Amiya was obviously excited.

After all, she is still a 13-year-old girl, and at this age she has no resistance to sweets.

However, after sitting next to Fengliu, Amiya did not touch the cake immediately, but straightened her expression and looked at Logos and Ascalon opposite her.

"Mr. Logos, long time no see. Due to work and field work, the last time we met was a long time ago."

Logos' eyes flickered as he searched through his few serious memories to find out when he last met Amiya. After a while, he suddenly realized something.

"Yes, indeed. I remember the last time we met was during the Fourth Office Professional Speed ​​​​Speed ​​Competition. I used a spell to interfere with Scout's guy, causing him to crash into the wall of Training Ground No. 3. You came to assess the damage report and asked me for compensation."

"Ah...Ahahaha, yes, really?"

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Amiya's forehead. In a trance, Miiya suddenly felt that the Logos in her impression seemed not like this.

Askalon, who was sitting next to Logos, held his forehead and called out his name with helplessness in his eyes.

"Ah good."
