People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Compared to the fragile humans who will die if killed, the Ghost Corps, who cannot be killed no matter what, are obviously more suitable for this kind of work.

However, compared to these preparations and the burning movements, what attracted Ark's attention more was that there was a golden manticore among the group of manticores. The golden manticore left a deep impression on Ark.

Compared to the gloomy or cruel Manticore who was present at the time, the golden Manticore gave Fang Zhou the first impression of elegance. She didn't feel like a killer or assassin at all. Instead, she looked more like a socialite who moved between dignitaries and royal nobles. However, it was obvious that this beautiful flower, like the rose, was a deadly flower with thorns.

"Click."

Time passed by in my thoughts, and the door of the hall was opened with a noise. Along with the sound of the door opening, the noise in the hall was also paused.

"It's Tallulah! Tallulah is back!"

"Commander Spafari."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the person who opened the door. After slowly opening the door, Tallulah walked into the hall slowly with Alina and Spafari.

"Everyone please be quiet."

Spafari's confidants were still easy to deal with, but the other integration movements in the hall seemed to want to show off their strength in front of these people from the Holy Castle. They all gathered around and shouted Tallulah's name loudly, making the scene extremely chaotic for a time. Even Tallulah's voice of organizing order was drowned out by their shouts.

Talulah had no choice but to use magic to amplify her voice, echoing throughout the hall and reaching everyone's ears, which made them stop shouting temporarily.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I know you're all quite excited right now. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the Spafari freshmen's initial impressions of Canaan and the preliminary results of their investigation. After all, this will determine Canaan's future path and how the infected on Canaan should view Ursus."

Everyone held their breath, not only the Integration Movement, but also Spafari's confidants and those stings of the military aristocracy.

"But I have good news for everyone. Although this is only a preliminary inspection, Mr. Spafari has a very high opinion of Canaan. Mr. Spafari and I are both optimistic about whether Canaan can become a legitimate city within Ursus in the near future, becoming the first truly nationally recognized city for infected people on this land."

Amidst the crowd, Tallulah looked at her fellow infected people with a smile on her face. Her infectious voice and tone fully aroused the emotions of the members of the Integration Movement.

"My fellow countrymen! We can see that the cause we have been fighting for so long has finally seen a glimmer of hope today. This glimmer of light not only illuminates us, but also illuminates the long dark night that the infected have been trapped in for thousands of years. We have finally ushered in a critical moment to change our own destiny. This makes us more determined to believe that our cause is not wrong. One day, the infected will no longer be discriminated against. On that day, we will stand tall on this land!"

"OHHHHHHHH!"

Even more intense cheers than before filled the entire city hall. Spafari looked at the unprecedentedly united infected people in front of him with surprise. He could feel a power among these infected people, a power that had never appeared since the emergence of the mineral disease on this land, and it was being born here.

"Maybe the time has finally come."

Spafari whispered.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Spafari. I was a little bit infected by the excitement of my companions, and I seemed to have made something like a premature victory declaration just now."

Spartari had a faint smile on his face, touched his beard and chuckled twice.

"That's fine. It's a good thing for young people to be confident and energetic. Mayor Talulah, I also believe that your business can succeed. Ursus is the country on this earth that treats the infected most harshly. There's a saying in Da Yan: Everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme. So I firmly believe that the change in this land's attitude towards the infected will also begin in Ursus. From the country with the harshest treatment of the infected to the country that first welcomes the change of the infected, I think it is also a very epic feat."

Chapter 306 Ursus is about to undergo a transformation

Tallulah aroused the enthusiasm of all the infected people in the hall, and Spafari felt incredible when he saw this bustling scene.

In the past, the infected people seen in Ursus were either sad and lonely, or full of hatred and resentment. It was rare to see someone as full of vitality and hope for the future as this.

This feeling also made Spafari feel that this would be the beginning of the transformation of Ursus.

"Silence, my fellow men, silence."

Tallulah waved her hand to calm the excited crowd down, then walked with Spafari to the back of the hall and onto the stage, surrounded by lights and flower beds surrounding the podium.

"We have full confidence in our cause. We believe that from here on, people living with HIV will no longer be discriminated against, at least starting from Canaan. But it's not enough for people living with HIV to be free from discrimination in Canaan. It's far from enough! The goal of our cause is to completely eliminate all discrimination and oppression against people living with HIV on this land! It sounds great and far-fetched, but we will achieve it one day! Quiet, quiet."

Tallulah pressed down with her palm, suppressing the atmosphere that was boiling again.

"And now is the time for us to take the first step towards this goal. Now, our guest, Mr. Spafari, the Grand Justice of the Ursus Imperial Court, will speak to us."

Snap, snap, snap.

Compared to Tallulah's speech before, it was obvious that the enthusiasm of the infected people had decreased a lot when Spafari took the stage. The applause could not be said to be sparse, but only perfunctory.

Fortunately, Spafari didn't care. As a mother of an infected person and having witnessed his mother being harmed by those infected patrol officers, he could naturally understand the thoughts of these infected people. It was quite understandable that they had huge opinions about the current Ursus. However, he came here to inspect Canaan this time, wasn't it to eliminate such opinions, so that the infected people in Ursus can gradually improve their relationship with the empire, and then truly let the infected people become a true part of the empire, which is the right way to make Ursus great again.

"........."

However, when Tallulah asked Spafari to start speaking, Spafari fell into a strange silence, which made Tallulah look at him in surprise. As the silence continued, Tallulah frowned. Even the infected people in the audience began to whisper about everything and looked at him with disgust.

This old thing is so shameless. Tallulah paved the way for you and asked us to listen to you carefully, but you don't appreciate it. Why are you playing the game of silence being golden here?

The silence continued. Frost Star was beside Tallulah. Just when she frowned and wanted to go up to see if there was any problem with Spafari, Tallulah stopped her.

"Wait."

This simple word made Frost Star temporarily stop her movements. She continued to wait quietly behind Tallulah, waiting to see what tricks this old man from Saint Steed Castle would come up with.

Bozhukasti, who was in the crowd, looked at Spafari on the stage with a flicker in his eyes, as if he had noticed something.

“The infected are at their most dangerous moment.”

Finally, after a long silence, Spafari seemed to say something nonsense amidst everyone's "that's it" looks.

"After I said this, many people must have laughed in their hearts at me saying such nonsense at such an important time."

When Spafari said this, there were sparse laughs from the audience. It seemed that his words touched upon their true thoughts.

"Of course this statement is nonsense, because it is a consensus that everyone on earth can easily reach.

Because no matter if you're from Ursus, Da Yan, Leitania, or Victoria, if you're infected with oripathy, as long as you're infected, everyone around you will discriminate against you, hate you, and even persecute you. This is the situation of the infected, an unspoken rule that everyone understands."

The infected people present lowered their heads, their eyes flashing with resentment, anger and hatred.

Spafari was right. No matter which country you are from, no matter which race you are, as long as you are infected, as long as you are infected with mineral disease, then everyone around you will hate you, spit on you, and persecute you at that moment, without any reason and without any buffer.

It's like everyone has tacitly accepted this rule: as long as you are infected, you are inferior.

"Now, let me ask you a question: why are those infected treated this way? I believe everyone here can give an answer: the dangers of oripathy itself.

But so what? Is the danger of oripathy the root cause of your rejection? No, everyone. You are not monsters, you are just sick.

Spafari lowered his voice at the end, and the gentle sound combined with the unique kind voice of an elder made some infected people with fragile psychological defenses couldn't help but shed tears.

You are not monsters, you are just sick.

Just this one sentence has increased the favorability of many infected people towards Spafari. They have suffered many inhuman treatments in various parts of the huge country of Ursus, simply because they suffered from oripathy.

During this period, the only person who could say such words to them, apart from their other integrated compatriots, was Spafari.

"There's something about this guy."

Fang Zhou whispered to Kal'tsit, who nodded slightly and muttered to herself about Spafari's impressive resume.

"As someone who was persecuted by the Empire's infected laws in his youth, he was able to rely on his own strength to become one of the civilian high-ranking officials in this country where class systems are almost completely rigid. Even if he is a high-ranking official with no real power, it is quite remarkable. This is enough to prove his ability."

While Kal'tsit and Ark were evaluating Spafari, Spafari's speech continued.

"You aren't the scourge or monsters that those with ulterior motives claim bring about natural disasters. You're just a bunch of sick people. Everyone understands this. A friend from Dayan once taught me an old Dayan saying: 'The one who wrongs you understands you've been wronged far better than you do yourself.' Anyone who truly understands oripathy will understand that it's completely different from the rumors out there. They'll also understand that those with oripathy don't pose any harm to society, but no one speaks out."

"Isn't there something wrong with what this judge said?"

The more the people brought by Spafari, who were planted by other military nobles, listened to Spafari's speech, the more they felt that something was wrong. Shouldn't you be brought here to inspect the city and make the infected people feel a sense of belonging to Ursus?

Why is it that there is not a single good word about Ursus until now, but instead there are only those despicable infected people "slandering" the empire.

"This is the unspoken rule of today's society. The infected have reached their current status precisely because of these unspoken rules, step by step. But that won't happen anymore, everyone."

Spafari looked at everyone off the court with his bright eyes.

"Where there is oppression, there is resistance. This land has oppressed the infected for millennia, and their resistance has finally yielded results in this era. Mayor Tallulah, I will no longer call her mayor here, but leader, the leader of your Reunion Movement and the infected.

She led the Reunion Movement and the infected to establish a city for the infected in this land that treated them most harshly. Although the city was still small and many of its functions were not yet fully functional, it was all a beginning. Because of the establishment of this city, the empire that had been advancing for thousands of years finally looked back and saw the infected people it had left behind.

Everyone, please allow me to boldly address you, my fellow countrymen, living together on this land called the Ursus Empire. From now on, everything will be different. Perhaps some of you here will scoff at what I say, but I have no way of arguing. After all, this is the pain we have inflicted on you over the past thousand years. I promise you that this will gradually come true. As for the rest, let time tell."

When Spafari finished speaking, the people, led by his confidants, began to applaud slowly, and driven by the applause, more and more people applauded the Chief Justice of Ursus.

Although it still couldn't compare to the enthusiastic applause that greeted Tallulah when she first entered, it was much better than the sparse applause that greeted Spafari when he first began his speech.

Perhaps in this speech, Spafari did not clearly express his attitude towards the results of the investigation of the city of Canaan. He did not mention the results of the investigation at all in the entire speech, but sometimes silence itself represents an attitude.

"Well, old fogey, how does this Spafari compare to your oratory skills when you were young?"

Frost Star looked at the scene where she and Tallulah were standing at the center of the podium, tightly clasping hands in front of all the infected people, and then looked at Bozhukas standing next to her and asked with a sudden sense of mischief.

After reuniting with Hellagur, Froststar also heard from Hellagur many interesting stories about Bodrakast's youth. Sometimes, the casual mention of some of them would always make this already silent warrior even more silent.

Froststar's question made Bozhukas look at the old Ursus on the stage.

"Not even close."

The old father would naturally not say that he was not good enough in front of his daughter. Moreover, in Bozhukasti's eyes, Spafari's speaking ability could only be considered as barely average.

Tallulah smiled and shook hands with Spafari on the podium, and her eyes subconsciously flew to the backstage of the podium, but she found that Ark and Kal'tsit had disappeared at some point and were no longer there.

Strange? Where did they go?

However, before Tallulah could think about this problem carefully, the intuition cultivated by long-term struggle suddenly made her hair stand on end. Her silver-gray pupils instantly looked at the crowd below, where a gloomy-faced woman was staring at her intently.

No, he was staring at Amiya, who was cheering along with the infected people next to her in the audience!

"Amiya! Get out of the way!!"

Tallulah didn't have time to think too much, she just quickly threw away Spafari's hand and pounced down quickly.

When Tallulah shouted, the woman hiding in the crowd also attacked instantly the next moment. Even though they were far apart, the poisonous light flashing from the huge scorpion's tail that stabbed out from behind her still made Tallulah's eyes feel slightly stinging.

That tail contains a deadly poison. It's Manticore! It's those guys!

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Tallulah's mind, and before the poisonous tail could get close to Amiya, Tallulah had already grabbed Amiya's wrist and pulled her behind her in the latter's slightly surprised eyes.

When the assassin saw that Talulah actually blocked Amiya with her body, he showed a look of fear. His poisonous tail, which was already in the air and could not be retracted, could only change direction and stab an innocent infected person next to him.

Ding! !

Another poisonous tail shot out from mid-air, and the purple and emerald green tails entangled in the air.

The innocent infected person who became the background looked at the stinger that was only a little distance away from his eyebrows and swallowed nervously. After waiting for a while, he suddenly fell to the ground, his back soaked with cold sweat.

"There are assassins!!"

The assassin wanted to retreat after failing to hit her, but her tail had been tightly grasped by a lion scorpion that had been hiding in the crowd, and the stinger on the tail of the seemingly weak fellow was already against her tail.

"Please don't struggle anymore, or I'll stab you."

The lion scorpion's voice seemed a little weak, but the assassin could clearly feel that although the voice was weak, the strength of the lion scorpion's tail was not weak at all.

If he dared to move even a little, this woman would really stab him. Mantiko's poison was not a merciful thing that would turn off friendly fire.

"They have scorpion tails. These guys were the ones who attacked people on the streets before. Weren't they all dealt with by Mr. Fang Zhou? Could it be the one he let go earlier? But wasn't that guy a man?"

Everyone decisively moved out of the place where the assassination took place, forming a circular blank area, and in the area were only Talulah, Amiya and the lion scorpion who stopped the Mantiko killer.

"Mantiko, Mantiko again."

Talulah looked at the killer Mantiko with a flash of fire in her eyes. Who on earth could be causing trouble so frequently today, and actually invited Mantiko to do it? Could it really be that bunch of crazy military nobles from Ursus?

"There's more than one of them."

Suddenly, the lion scorpion seemed to sense something and spoke immediately. However, the next second after she finished speaking, a petite Mantiko leaped out from the flowers next to the podium, aiming directly at Amiya in Tallulah's arms.

Chapter 307: Mantiko and Mantiko

Pause!

A flash of gold appeared in Amiya's eyes.

Huh, there is no precedent for Amiya using this power without transforming, but now it seems that there is nothing special, and there is no mention of increasing consumption when using it without transforming. It feels like this power... does not seem to rely on the actual system to exist, but truly belongs to her.

Oh no, time is running out.

In the real world, there is no concept of commentary that can stop and start. Amiya quickly pulled Tallulah over and then fired a black spell in her hand at the assassin who was rushing towards her, and then rolled away from the spot.

5 seconds have passed.

"Amiya!"

boom!

Tallulah's mind was still stuck before Amiya was stabbed. After time resumed, she still subconsciously wanted to hold the thing in her arms tightly, but the next second she found that there was nothing in her arms.

The sound of an explosion in the distance made her heart stop for a moment. She followed the sound and saw the petite Mantiko lying on the ground, holding her heart with a look of pain on her face.

"Amiya?"

"I'm here, Sister Tallulah."

Holding the Zi-O driving watch head in her hand, Amiya looked seriously at the Mantikos who had kidnapped several innocent people in the venue. The one leading them was the deputy captain of the Mantiko assassination team. At this time, they each had a hostage and were holding the gray driving watch head that Amiya was very familiar with.

That driving watch head... I see. Their target from the beginning was me, and the others were just affected because of me.

There was a moment of daze in Amiya's eyes, but then there was a blazing flame.

They actually don't care about harming innocent people for their own goals. These guys are scum!
