People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"Give this kid a glass of milk...never mind, soda."

"Okay, Doctor."

The bartender didn't say anything, but asked the waiter next to him to get a bottle of soda from the back and pour it for Noah, then stepped aside.

"This step is all my mistake. I really should have asked your age before bringing you here. Seriously, I never thought you were underage."

"That means your eyesight is poor. You wear that crappy helmet every day. What can you see clearly through it?"

"So I don't wear it anymore?"

"Please be kind and take it with you. I feel uncomfortable seeing your face."

"Not that much."

Fang Zhou drank the whole glass of wine, feeling both amused and helpless. Suddenly, he saw Noah leaning his face on the bar with his arms, looking like a sulking child with the back of his head facing him.

Back of the head?

Looking at Noah's silver-white hair that was exactly the same as Tallulah's, Fang Zhou suddenly felt an impulse in his heart.

"Okay, okay, it's really my fault this time. I brought you to this place without asking clearly beforehand. Forgive me?"

A hand suddenly pressed down on Noah's head with such force that the latter's head sank and he almost stumbled. He looked at the Ark with a dark face, mainly looking at the hand.

"How about this."

Fang Zhou suddenly pointed his index finger to the sky, and a light bulb flickered on his forehead, as if he had a good idea.

"How about I grant you a wish? As long as it's within my capabilities and doesn't violate my own plans and wishes, I can help you with something unconditionally. How about that?"

When Noah heard this, he was immediately amused.

"Your wish has too many restrictions. And the second half of the sentence means it doesn't violate your own plans and wishes. If I make a random wish, how can I know whether it violates your plans and wishes? If you say it violates your plans and wishes, I don't know if it's true. If you say it doesn't violate your plans and wishes, I don't know if it's true either. Aren't you just playing word games with me?"

But after laughing twice, Noah hummed and stared directly at Fang Zhou's hand that had just patted his head.

"But it's nothing. In that case, I have a wish now. Do you think you can help me realize it?"

"Let me hear what your wish is."

Fang Zhou became interested when he heard this.

What? Making a wish on the spot? Let me see you, what do you want me to do for you? But if you dare to wish for Amiya not to become a demon king, I will definitely not help you fulfill it.

"I wouldn't make such an unrealistic wish."

As if he had noticed Fang Ark's thoughts, Noah sneered disdainfully.

Preventing the birth of the Demon King is not his goal. He has only one goal, which is to make Talulah the King of Terra who surpasses the Demon King. That's all. He even says that as long as Talulah can surpass Oma Zi-O, then even if Oma Zi-O is born, there is no problem, but it is best not to be born.

"My wish is that you answer a question for me."

"what is the problem?"

"Why were you pulling my hair just now?"

"???"

Chapter 273: The Ark: Noah is Tallulah's son

"Why are you pulling my hair?"

Faced with this question, there was a moment of silence between Fang Zhou and Noah, and then Fang Zhou laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, I thought you were going to ask something else? You mean this? I just accidentally pinched it between my fingers when I was tapping your head. You see, you're a little too vigilant."

Fang Zhou showed his palm and saw a silver hair between his middle finger and index finger reflecting silver light under the light. Although the hair was not particularly conspicuous under the light, it could not be ignored in Noah's eyes.

"Give it back to me."

Noah snatched the hair away directly. The next second, a flash of red flame flashed from Draco's fingertips, burning the hair into ashes, leaving only a faint burnt smell in the air.

"Who knows what you'll do with my hair? The leader told me how strange your black magic is. You can even bring the dead back to life. What if you use my hair to cast a black magic curse on me?"

When Noah mentioned the words "resurrection of the dead", a flash of reluctance and desire flashed across his eyes, but when he looked at the Ark afterwards, this reluctance and desire were hidden and disappeared without a trace.

"You can't make friends if you're too cautious."

Fang Zhou drank half of the Margarita prepared by the bartender, feeling both amused and helpless. The strong taste and refreshing sour flavor made him exhale the alcohol directly, and the aroma of orange wine at the end left a lingering sweetness in his mouth.

"Why should you care? You're not my dad!"

Once again, Noah hit Fang Ark on the back of his head, but after thinking for a while, this guy actually covered the back of his head with his hands, as if he was afraid that Fang Ark would hit him on the head again.

"You kid..."

Fang Zhou shook his head helplessly, but where Noah couldn't see, there was a gleam in Fang Zhou's eyes.

Although the hair was snatched back by Noah, even if it only stayed in Fang Ark's hand for a moment, he could scan it thoroughly inside and out in an instant.

D21S211、D3S1744、D8S1132、D10S1248……包括这些基因在内的十九个基因座都可以在塔露拉的基因中找到来源。

Although there had been speculations about this before, and Alina and the others might have noticed it, but when this matter was finally finalized, there was still a hint of meaning in Fang Ark's eyes when he looked at Noah.

Noah...this kid is Tallulah's biological son!

Tsk tsk.

This conclusion made Ark feel a little jealous. Based on the two trips to the future, Tallulah was killed in the battle with Oma Zi-O almost seventeen years later. If that was really the battle in which Tallulah died.

And just now, Noah told me that he would be eighteen years old in six months. Doesn't that mean...

No, no, no. To understand this problem, there is one more point that needs to be determined, which is the era in which Noah himself lived.

But in this situation now, will the child still answer this question?

"Noah."

"Ok?"

The light yellow drink exudes a custard-like luster under the light, with a thin layer of foam on top that is quickly dissipating, and the fruity aroma of lime, pineapple and vegetables lingers at the tip of the nose.

"Cinderella, non-alcoholic drink, ordered for you."

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to ask you something."

"What?"

Although there was a note of caution in his tone, Noah still took the glass of something that looked like juice or a cocktail.

"Hi...which year are you back from?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Curious."

Fang Zhou chuckled and picked up a piece of fried chicken with a bamboo skewer.

"Last time, Amiya was taken away by her future self. That future Oma Zi-O wanted to talk to Amiya about the topic of the King, but the conversation fell apart. When I went there, the two had just finished fighting. That time was 1113, seventeen years later."

Noah's shoulders suddenly shook, his eyebrows drooped, and his eyes dimmed.

"So I suddenly wanted to ask, in which year did you come back? Was it sometime between these seventeen years, or some time in the future?"

The fried chicken on the bamboo skewer hesitated between ketchup and salad dressing, but just when Fang Zhou was about to put the chicken into the salad dressing, Noah next to him reached out and directly hit his palm, and the chicken that was supposed to be put into the salad dressing fell directly into the ketchup.

"Ha, if you always eat salad dressing, you'll become a fat monster."

A smug smile crept onto Noah's face, leaving Fang Zhou speechless.

Why are you so childish? You were not like this before.

The chicken nuggets covered with ketchup were stuffed into his mouth. The sour and sweet taste was quite good, but Fang Zhou still preferred the mellow and sweet taste of salad dressing.

"1114."

"1114, eighteen years later?"

"Yes, I come from the Victorian Empire eighteen years later."

Was the Victorian Empire transformed into an empire eighteen years later because Tallulah used the title of emperor?

But eighteen years later...this timing doesn't seem right, does it?

Suddenly, the silent Ark made Noah look at him strangely, but Ark had no time to care about it. He just kept thinking in his mind.

If Noah is 17 years old this year and will be 18 in half a year, and he comes from 18 years later... doesn't that mean that in the current timeline, he will be born next year?

But...but Tallulah...is there any sign of that? Is Tallulah in love?

Fine beads of cold sweat began to appear on Fang Zhou's forehead.

No way, could it be what I'm thinking? That's too wrong.

"Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"Huh? Ah, nothing, I just suddenly remembered something super bad."

Fang Zhou narrowed his eyes. If this was really what he'd imagined, wouldn't it be a complete BE? What on earth could have happened to cause such a plot? This wasn't some hentai anime plot.

"Something terrible happened to you? Tell me about it and make me happy."

"You really have a lot of opinions about me."

Noah drank half a cup of Cinderella in one gulp and curled his lips at Fang Zhou.

"Who made you raise a demon king? Do you know how many countries will be dragged into war by Oma Zi-O in the future?"

He slammed the cup in his hand onto the bar.

"Nineteen! Even if you include his own Kazdel, none of Terra's twenty sovereign nations have escaped. All of them have been caught up in her so-called great war of unification."

"At the end of 1096, Oma Zi-O eliminated all opposition, unified Kazdel, and the ten royal courts of Sarkaz. In 1097, he declared the restoration of the Kingdom of Kazdel. Then, in the same year, he directly invaded Syracuse. In less than a month, he incorporated the entirety of Syracuse into Kazdel's territory."

"In the following years, she led her army to annex several countries. Even the Durin clan, who had always lived underground, were forced to take sides and ultimately surrender to the Demon King."

"Only the leader... only Her Majesty. She has always opposed the Demon King's theory of war and unification, from the initial admonitions to the final battle. In order to fight the Demon King, she united the surrounding countries into an alliance, struggling for 17 years, but in the end..."

Noah gritted his teeth and the Ark remained silent.

That's right. If, before Ark discovered the relationship between Noah and Tallulah, he thought that the source of Noah's hatred for Amiya was simply that Amiya killed the leader he admired and started a war that affected the entire continent, then now there is one more thing.

Amiya killed Noah's mother with her own hands.

The hatred of killing one's mother is irreconcilable.

Having said that, it is impossible for Fang Zhou to persuade Noah to let go of his hatred or anything like that. That is simply too naive.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a long time around a few small topics, and the relationship between Noah and Fang Zhou, which was almost at a freezing point, eased a little.

Noah's impression of the Ark also became three-dimensional, no longer a flat stereotype that he had heard from others.

This man had a very complicated heart, but all he could do with Fang Zhou was to let nature take its course, and...

Maybe there really is a possibility of changing the future?

Noah thought so, and then as he became more and more engaged in the conversation, Noah actually took a few bottles of wine and started drinking by himself. By the time Fang Zhou found out, he had already drunk most of the bottle of beer and became a little dizzy.

"Less than a bottle of beer and he's already like this. Even though the beer isn't that strong, it shouldn't be enough to make him this drunk."

Seeing that Noah was drunk and unconscious, even grabbing his clothes and calling for his mother, Ark could only open the door and take him to his bedroom on Rhodes Island, and threw him on the sofa to spend the night.

Then the next morning, he got up from the sofa in a daze, looked at the breakfast that Fang Zhou brought him with complicated eyes, and after quietly finishing his breakfast, he was taken back to Canaan by Fang Zhou.

"It seems like you guys talked about some pretty heavy stuff last night."

Back to the present, Tallulah looked at the wonderful atmosphere between Ark and Noah, and immediately realized that the two must have talked about something extraordinary last night.

"Yes."

Fang Zhou looked at Tallulah with complicated eyes. This was not a heavy matter. Not only did he know that Noah was actually Tallulah's biological son, he even knew...

Thinking of this question, Fang Zhou felt a little numb on his scalp. He couldn't ask Tallulah directly about such a private matter. After all, he and Tallulah were just friends. How could a friend ask you if you were pregnant? He could only ask indirectly.

Although this matter has little to do with Ark strictly speaking, it is like you suddenly find out that a good friend of the opposite sex who has no signs of being in love will be pregnant this year, which is a bit worrying.

But there was no chance to hint at such things now. After all, it was obvious that Tallulah was more focused on making Canaan's future better. She was busy with so many things, and her free time was probably only at night.

I'll find a chance to ask during this time. It probably won't work today.

"Now that I've brought you back safely, I'll be going back first."

Fang Zhou said this and turned to leave, but at this moment Tallulah called him.
