People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

curse! !

Upon hearing this word, all the soldiers' expressions changed. They looked in the direction of their leader and saw the Originium crystal on Kal'tsit's shoulder. Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed and they all retreated in unison. However, what flashed in their eyes was not the fear that Amiya and others were familiar with, but worry and pity.

This……

Tallulah and Amiya looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Was it possible that oripathy wasn't hated and feared a thousand years ago?

Seeing this, Kal'tsit slowly closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.

More than 1000 years ago, when the rule of the gods and people on this land had not yet been completely ended and even the monarchy system had not yet been perfected, the oripathy, a disease that was feared like the plague in later generations, had not yet been officially named, let alone defined as a disease. At that time, oripathy was more like a curse in people's eyes, just like what Ursus said, a curse from the black stone.

Anyone who is cursed by this will not only suffer from unbearable pain all over their body, but will also have black stones growing all over their body. They will eventually die from illness, and when the stones grow to a certain size, the whole person will even explode.

This horrific phenomenon was regarded as a curse from God by people 1000 years ago, and was the punishment for those who angered the gods. In Kal'tsit's memory, primitive beliefs in Originium even appeared in some backward areas, but those dregs had disappeared without a trace when the Terra civilization entered the modern era.

"Quiet."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Fang Zhou had to speak up.

His voice seemed to have magic. When it reached everyone's ears, they involuntarily closed their mouths and stopped making any sound.

In an instant, the originally noisy camp became quiet.

The tall Ursus who was in the lead also regained his sanity. He looked at the poor brains of Fang Ark and others and finally began to think for himself.

"You actually have a stone curse on your body, so you must not be from Hippogriff's side. Those bastards look down on people with stones on their bodies the most. Come in with me first."

"Eh? But the commander and the others..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Don't we have brothers with stones on their bodies in our camp? And look at that lady, she only has two stones on her body, not even as many as old Henry. It's no big deal."

In this era, the knowledge about mineral sickness is still very poor, and the understanding of the severity of the disease depends entirely on the number of stones on the body.

After all, at this time, even in Dayan and Sargon, the two most developed countries, medicine is still at the stage of witch doctors, and medicine like surgery has not even developed its basics.

In just a few words, Fang Zhou and others understood from the tall Ursus that the group of people in front of them did not have a deep aversion to people with mineralogy, but the nobles, that is, the Hippogriffs of the Saint Steed Castle, were obviously not like that. They discriminated against people with mineralogy, and people with mineralogy like Kal'tsit were naturally not considered people of those Hippogriffs in the eyes of these Ursus people.

Because Master Hippogriff would not use those cursed pariahs with black stones growing on their bodies.

and……

Fang Zhou looked into the depths of the camp. There was an area inside the camp that seemed to be isolated. Everyone seemed to avoid that area intentionally or unintentionally when walking.

There are also people with mineral diseases and infections in this camp.

"Wait, you are, Markel?"

At this moment, two more exclamations were heard from behind the tall Ursus.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several surprised Ursus staring at Markel beside Fang Zhou.

"You are……"

When they saw those Ursus, Amiya and the others recognized that they were the villagers who had abandoned Markel and fled.

With the testimony of these villagers, Gundam Ursus, the leader of the refugees, also confirmed that Markel was from the village that usually provided them with logistics, and his identity was not a problem.

And Ark and his men did come forward to help them defeat the pursuing imperial cavalry, using weapons they had never seen before, stones that emitted fire and light.

Hearing those people describe their grenades in this way, W curled his lips, but he couldn't say anything. After all, in this era, even Originium explosives hadn't been mentioned, let alone grenades. The application of Originium was limited to using mineral cores to ignite fires.

After their identities were confirmed, the tall Ursus introduced himself, and Fang Zhou and the others realized that he was the highest commander of the camp. The commanders welcomed them into the camp.

The infrastructure of this era was still very simple. In this snowy and cold place, the temporary buildings were limited to simple houses built with hay and sticks. The better ones were houses built with wood, and the rest were just simple tents that had no warmth at all.

The people coming and going were all wearing clothes made of animal fur and some simple cloth, which could ensure that they could stay basically warm in the wind and snow.

They walked into a tent closer to the edge. Fang Zhou, Amiya and the others were accommodated here. There were no tables or chairs in the tents here. There were only mats made of hay for the group to sit on, to ensure that their buttocks would not catch cold by sitting directly on the snow. Several soldiers brought them hot water and some dried meat as a treat for the guests.

As for the source of this hot water, it is obviously the snow on the wasteland outside, which is melted by fire and then boiled.

However, they did not mind, especially Tallulah. She had drunk countless amounts of this snowmelt water when she led the Reunion Movement to wander the northern snowfields of Ursus. Now, she felt a strange feeling when officials of the yet-to-be-built Ursus Empire were drinking this water.

Official, the commander was indeed worthy of this title. In the subsequent introduction, Fang Zhou learned that the commander's position was a vanguard officer.

This camp was a temporary camp for the vanguard of the Ursus uprising army to rest.

The war against the Empire had already begun for a year. The rebels led by Igor had already received widespread support from some cities and villages in the East. With these cities and villages as the backing of the rebels, the vanguard officer said that he could imagine that the Ursus would soon be liberated from the oppression of the Hippogriffs and ultimately win the victory, and no longer have to kowtow to those bastards.

Fang Zhou and his companions knew that if history had developed normally, what the vanguard said would be true. Unfortunately, history was distorted. This year, the foolish military emperor would obtain the power of the alien eagle, and then use this power to change the situation of the war in one fell swoop. What the Ursus people would face afterwards would be oppression that would continue for a thousand years, or even persecution that would be worse than now.

Of course, neither Ark nor Amiya would tell the vanguard officer in front of them about this. After all, this was what they had agreed upon before. When revising history, they would never let the parties involved in history know the future history, no matter whether it was distorted or normal.

As for their identities, everyone said they were travelers from a big country in the East. They came here to witness the splendor of the Snow Country, but they didn't expect that such a thing was happening on this land.

The vanguard officer accepted the identity of the group as travelers, but the doubt in his eyes never disappeared.

After all, in this era, who would be so kind as to travel to this icy and snowy place? Even the Ursus people like them can't stand this bitter cold place sometimes.

After exchanging some information, the vanguard officer said that they would be happy to receive several travelers, but there was a war going on in this land, and it was not a good place for travelers to stay. They could let everyone stay here for one night, but they still hoped that they would leave as soon as possible and return to their own country tomorrow morning. This was also for their own good, after all, war was ruthless.

After watching the vanguard officer leave, Amiya took a long breath of relief and looked at Fang Zhou and Kal'tsit.

"That vanguard officer has never let down his guard against us. I can sense that he has been suspicious of us from the beginning."

Through the continuation of civilization, Amiya could easily sense the vanguard officer's emotions.

"That's understandable. After all, at this point, the identities of any outsiders are questionable. If he outright believes us, that's something we should be worried about."

Kal'tsit listened attentively to the sounds outside. It seemed that the vanguard officer was chatting with the guard at the door of the tent. Filin's keen hearing brought the information to Kal'tsit. The content was probably just asking the guards to keep a good eye on the few people and to avoid any accidents, whether external or internal.

"So what should we do next? Should we go straight to Saint Castle and beat up that guy named Dmitri? Or what?"

W said that he did not have time to play war games with those bears here. Their purpose this time was to prevent the birth of the alien Hippogriff or to directly defeat the alien Hippogriff in this era, so as to ensure that history would proceed as they remembered.

This is obviously what everyone thinks.

"Let's go to Saint Castle first. We can rest here for a night. After all, we just traveled through time and space. Although the protection of the magic machine prevents us from being affected by the power of time and space, proper rest is still necessary."

Everyone had no objection to Fang Ark's proposal, and after deciding what to do next, the group relaxed.

Amiya picked up the dried meat wrapped in cloth that the soldiers had brought over and examined it carefully.

The jerky can only be said to be ordinary jerky. It cannot be said to have any delicate texture or look very delicious. On the contrary, the black and red color and the cold feeling to the touch make the little rabbit feel very intuitively that the jerky must be very hard.

"Give it to me and let me take care of it."

Fang Zhou took the dried meat from Amiya's hand, and the magic energy of fire and water alternately infected the hard dried meat in his hand, quickly softening it and making it no longer cold. He performed the same operation on the other dried meats.

Put the dried meat into your mouth. The processed meat is tough but no longer hard. You still need to tear it into strips and put it into your mouth and chew it carefully with your teeth before you can swallow it.

"Actually, if I didn't have such an important task as restoring history, I would still be more interested in experiencing the customs and practices of that era."

Putting down the not-so-tasty dried meat in her hand, Amiya looked at the wind and snow outside through the gap in the tent, with a hint of anticipation in her tone.

Time travel is not something that everyone can experience. Going to each different time and space, experiencing the customs and practices of different eras and the different scenery of each era, and even meeting different heroes of different eras, such things feel romantic just thinking about it.

Hearing the anticipation in the bunny's voice, Fang Zhou pondered for a moment, stroking his chin before speaking slowly:

"Then after everything is done..."

Upon hearing this, Amiya immediately turned her head to look at Fang Zhou, with a glimmer of expectation and hope in her eyes.

"Let's just travel here for a bit, what do you think? Wowga Demon King."

"Is it really possible?! Ah, no... I mean..."

Staring at Fang Zhou's half-smile, Amiya smiled shyly and then waved her hand.

"I approve!"

Chapter 111: Long time no see, Tracy

A thousand years ago, Amiya was still looking forward to time travel after resolving everything, but a thousand years later, Chen Huijie in this time and space has learned about Tallulah's experience in normal history from Alina.

From being born in Longmen to being abducted by Kosice; from receiving education under the rule to killing Kosice and escaping...

When Alina talked about how Tallulah used the infection of mineral disease to express her will to resist, Chen Huijie's eyes flashed with disbelief.

Oripathy is a terminal illness that means death. For the Terrans, using infection with oripathy to declare their will to resist is no different from committing suicide to prove their will.

Perhaps the only difference is that the death from oripathy will be slower, but more painful.

Later, we heard that Talulah led the Integration Movement in the tundra to continuously liberate the infected in the Originium mines, continuously expanding her power and amplifying her influence, from a small and unknown Integration Movement to a radical organization of infected people that resounded throughout the northern snowfields, and even in the end she seized the core city of a mobile city from the hands of the Northern Empire as a city that belonged only to the infected.

Although Alina described the last thing as more of a relief from external forces, even so, it was still a remarkable thing in Chen Huijie's opinion.

After all, Chen Huijie knew that the status of the infected was not high on their side either. It could be said that they were the lowest-status group of people in all countries. It would be a great achievement if Tallulah could lead this group of people to regain their dignity and even own a city of their own.

"Thank you very much for telling me this. The Tallulah you described has a lot in common with the sister I remember, but there are also some differences."

Chen Huijie sat aside, his eyes looking at the ceiling gradually becoming deeper, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"I may now understand a little bit why Tallulah wants to correct history so much."

Because she chose a completely different path. If Tallulah's final choice here was to ascend the throne and become Queen Victoria, and then change the status of the infected through oppression, compromise, exchange of interests, etc. with various political forces, then the path Tallulah is taking now is a path of complete resistance.

Perhaps in the future she will still have to make concessions in the face of powerful forces, but now she can hold her head high and speak out the voice of the infected to all forces on this earth with all her might, which is something that Victoria, the crown prince and queen, could not do.

It is also a more effective shot in the arm for those infected people who receive help and assistance.

"Ms. Alina..."

At this moment, Logos, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the conversation between Alina and Chen Huijie ended, and immediately walked up, wanting to explain to the beautiful lady what he had seen at that time.

The Ark's clone sword that stayed here also stopped. Chen Huijie had no intention of leaving immediately, so he was not in a hurry.

It was not necessary for Ark to go to Victoria to face the alien Zi-O. After all, he had already greeted the alien Zi-O, but he was on Sougo Tokiwa's side.

However, Zi-O is the king of time and history. The history of Earth and Terra is different, so the abilities of Zi-O and alien Zi-O will definitely be different. But overall, they still start from the roots of knights. Therefore, the power of the alien Zi-O that Tracys possesses now should be similar to that in Ark's memory, and the overall strength standard should also correspond to Zi-O who has mastered the second-level power.

Thinking of the second-order watch, Fang Zhou couldn't help but put his hand into the four-dimensional pocket. However, after groping for a while, he remembered that the second-order Zi-O control watch head was on the main body side. Apart from some of his own things, he had nothing else related to Zi-O.

After all, the plan was to face the alien Zi-O. Even though he was pretty confident nothing would go wrong, he still had to be careful. What if something unexpected happened and the enemy dropped their equipment? After all, this thing was quite popular in the Knight's Shed.

These days, if a knight is defeated and doesn’t drop a few pieces of equipment on the enemy, he would be embarrassed to call himself a knight.

While Fang Ark was groping for the second-level Zi-O control dial on his body, Logos had already explained what he wanted to say to Alina. Fang Ark, who was standing next to him, also listened to it roughly. When he heard the former say that a dark and corrupt power had entangled Alina's soul at some point, and the source was Alina's shadow, Fang Ark knew what Logos was talking about.

"To summarize, this dark and corrupt force is entwined with your soul, and in the long run it may affect your character.

Your soul is pure and transparent. For those of us who can see the inner essence of people, it is a unique work of art. It is not in our style to allow such a work of art to be defiled.

So I hope you will allow me to cast a spell upon you to cleanse your soul of that foul power."

When Logos said these things, his expression was solemn and serious, indicating that he was serious about this matter.

Alina was no fool. After hearing what the sorcerer in front of her said, and recalling Fang Ark's warning when she obtained the Shadow Kingdom, she naturally understood what the filth entangled in the soul that the former was talking about was. At the same time, it also gave her some explanation for some of the terrifying thoughts that flashed through her mind from time to time before.

I think those should be the dark forces that the gentleman in front of me mentioned, which have caused some external manifestations of erosion to my soul.

Thinking of this, Alina turned her eyes to Fang Zhou. Mr. Zhou had warned her before that the power of the Shadow Kingdom was not so easy to use. Now that the backlash of this power has come, she believes that compared to the Mr. Banshee in front of her, Mr. Zhou should have some more trustworthy methods to help her.

Noticing Alina's gaze, Logos followed her gaze and looked at the Doctor who had split from the Doctor and remained in this space and time.

"Doctor, you..."

"That is the price of using the power of the Shadow Kingdom."

After giving a brief summary of the meaning of the power of the Shadow Kingdom, Fang Ark explained it to Logos, and the latter also remembered the tattoo that W had mentioned to Fang Ark when he walked into the ward before. When talking about the tattoo, both of them mentioned the two terms "Ghost Ninja" and "Shadow Kingdom".

"So at least for Tallulah, I won't give up this power for the time being. The power of the Shadow Kingdom can help Tallulah do a lot.

Even before history was twisted, due to a shortage of manpower in Canaan, a large part of the city's security work was handled by the Shadow Kingdom and the ghostly inner guards summoned by me."

As long as she doesn't give up this power, the darkness will never stop eroding Alina's soul, and those so-called soul-cleansing spells will only be superficial treatments that only address the symptoms and not the root cause.

"That's such a shame."

Logos was not a crazy person who would insist on treating the other party even if the other party disagreed. After being politely rejected by Alina, he did not continue to pursue her, but just lamented the demise of a pure and brilliant soul.

"But what Logos said is indeed a problem. Alina, your position in the Reunion Movement is like a spiritual benchmark. Your actions, the standards you follow, and the position Tallulah assigned to you all represent Tallulah controlling the external aspects of the Reunion Movement and serving as its spiritual pillar. And you, on the other hand, control its internal aspects and become its psychologist.

If even your mental state has problems, then this position becomes a joke. How about this? I will use black magic to engrave an isolation spell on your soul, using the power of black magic to isolate the invasion of the dark forces outside. God, this sounds like a hellish joke.

Using black magic to resist darkness, what kind of hellish joke is this?

When Logos heard Fang Ark talking about the dark magic, his eyes visibly sparkled, but he did not interrupt the Doctor directly. Instead, he listened quietly, hoping to learn about the dark magic from Fang Ark.

Judging from the description, this thing seems to be very similar to the spell mastered by his own banshee clan.

The isolation spell is not a complicated thing, and because the Ark itself is the source of the Shadow Kingdom in this land, there are no restrictions on casting the isolation spell to isolate the darkness of the Shadow Kingdom.

The evil spirit only lingered for a moment. In Logos' eyes, the darkness on Alina's soul had already separated from her soul. Although it did not disappear, it no longer eroded the pure soul of the deer like before.

"That's good. Then, Miss Yan, let's go."
