People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Since she had just arrived and her parents were not here, Natalia naturally would not stay on Rhodes Island tonight, which made her feel a little regretful. Fortunately, the personnel department staff had discussed dormitory matters with her and told her that her dormitory would be ready when Natalia returned, so there would be no embarrassing situation of Natalia having to live in a bare-bones room.

"So, talking to these nobles is really tiring."

Fang Zhou sat on the sofa, his hands on the back of the sofa and looked at the ceiling.

"You get tired too?"

Thinking of the horse blessing charm and dog charm that still remain in her body, Kal'tsit feels that the sentence "The Ark will feel tired" is so niche.

"My body isn't tired, but my heart is. Didn't you see that Vadim has been trying to probe Rhodes Island's background during several conversations? Even though he acted so kind and nice back then and allowed Natalia to stay in Rhodes Island, he'll definitely be doing some background checks on Rhodes Island when he returns."

"I'm not surprised by this."

Kal'tsit took a sip of the coffee on the table and frowned. Over the past two months, Ark had conditioned her to prefer tea. Now, after a long absence from drinking coffee, the bitter aroma that had once captivated her now made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Did you also notice Count Vadim's unusual behavior at that time?"

Fang Zhou didn't feel anything special after drinking coffee for the first time in a long time, but unsurprisingly, the slight sour taste in the coffee still made him not very fond of it. However, compared with the Nebula coffee he had drunk before, the cup of coffee in front of him was already quite delicious.

"He recognized Vina's identity, and he must have seen Hellagur in the restaurant. And when he ran into Operator Jessica this afternoon, he probably recognized her background. But what surprised me was the breadth of vision of this Count Ursus."

Ursus is not an overly open country, but one of its counts can actually tell the difference between Aslan and Filin with the naked eye. He also has sufficient knowledge of other countries and has a full understanding of the various forces in other countries.

If such a count could have the help of a noble person, relying on his strength, he would be able to show up several times in the core power circle of Ursus in the future.

"Every country has people like this; we just met them this time. But it was precisely because of meeting these people that he agreed to let Natalia stay in Rhodes Island. This is also a blessing."

When Kal'tsit heard Fang Ark mention that name, a hint of displeasure flashed across her eyes.

"So you really think highly of that little white bear?"

Fang Zhou looked up at Kal'tsit in surprise.

That little white bear?

It was the first time he heard Kal'tsit address someone in such an imprecise and informal way, and there was obvious displeasure in Kal'tsit's tone. Seeing the way the other person looked at him from time to time, and then quickly looked away after their eyes met, Fang Ark smiled and looked at Kal'tsit.

"Are you unhappy? Jealous?"

"Doctor, I don't think there's anything wrong with your speech system, but why do you use such misleading words? Due to this anomaly, I think we can do a comprehensive brain examination later."

Just say in a roundabout way that I'm mentally ill.

Seeing the old cat getting angry, Fang Zhou did not comfort it as usual, but continued to tease it. He sat directly next to Kal'tsit and was very close to her. He was so close that he could clearly smell the light and elegant fragrance of the other person, like the faint orchid in the valley.

Although Kal'tsit said she was resisting, her body was extremely honest. She just shrank slightly and did not take the next step.

"Natalia, it was an unexpected fate. I had just woken up from the physical therapy machine at the time. You know, I had no money on me, and even my only clothes were a green surgical gown. Speaking of this, I almost want to complain. Didn't you know to leave a spare set of clothes nearby for me? Although the climate in Chernobyl is relatively warm, it is winter in Ursus after all. If I hadn't made a set of clothes myself with those wonderful little tools, I might have frozen to death on the side of the road."

"If you were to freeze to death on the side of the road because you had nothing to wear, I wouldn't feel any sadness at all."

"You have such a sharp tongue! When will you change this bad habit? Otherwise, you might not be able to get married."

Pinching the other person's tender face with her fingers, Kal'tsit glared at Fang Ark and slapped his hand away, looking away with a slight blush on her ears.

"I've never thought about this aspect of the problem."

"Ha, I think you'd better think about it."

Fang Zhou said this, but then took out a map from his arms.

It was a map of Terra, and it was recorded in great detail.

From the Infe Ice Field in the north to the sea in the south, from the Yandong Sea in the east to the Bolivar Sea in the west, it can be said that the map in front of Kal'tsit is not the most detailed but definitely the most comprehensive one on the Terra continent today.

"Soon, after Natalia's business is finished, we will leave Longmen. According to the plan we made earlier, we will first pass through the southern region of Ursus, and then part ways with the elite team we agreed on earlier. They will head northwest to Sami and search for traces of the Cyclops there.

We will travel south through Lethania, passing through Lateran and then heading towards Iberia, where there are some hidden Sarkaz tribes that we need to contact."

Seeing Fang Ark suddenly and seamlessly enter the business stage in a serious manner, Kal'tsit was not surprised at all. She accepted it very quickly and began to analyze the route that Fang Ark had just mentioned.

"Amiya's current collection of driving indicators is..."

"Ten. This progress is quite surprising to me. I didn't expect to collect ten control heads in just two months at Longmen. This speed is undoubtedly very fast compared to our original plan. The remaining ones are either with Tracys or with those reclusive races."

When the name was mentioned again, Kal'tsit stared at the land belonging to Victoria on the map and thought for a long time.

"one thing."

"what?"

"Do you still remember the driving watch head that Priss used at the beginning?"

Fang Zhou paused for a moment while holding up the coffee cup, and recalled the special driving watch head that Priss had used many times in his mind.

Shadow Demon, Shadow Demon...

"You mean... Shadow Demon?"

"Ah."

Kal'tsit nodded, then picked up a pen and started writing and drawing on the tobacco paper. Her beautiful handwriting was pleasing to the eye. Fang Ark picked it up and saw that it was a list of Sarkaz ethnic groups.

"This is a list of Sarkaz races that haven't been extinct yet. Among them is the Balrog. This race was originally supposed to be extinct, but after the appearance of Ifrit, its status was changed from extinct to functionally extinct."

Functional extinction is actually also extinction, but compared to the complete extinction of the hammer, functional extinction actually has a little chance of recovery.

Currently, the Balrog gene in Ifrit's body is somewhat active. We'll just have to wait and see if the child has a chance to pass it on when he grows up. If so, perhaps he can truly restore the Balrog Court. Of course, restoring the pure-blooded Balrog Court in this era is no longer possible.

"But the problem with the Balrog is just a small problem. What I mean is..."

"Among the current races, there is no such race as Shadow Demon."

Fang Zhou looked at the list Kal'tsit made and gave the answer on her behalf.

"That's right, so the driving watch on Priss's hand is extremely strange."

Kal'tsit didn't understand what was going on, but Ark already knew what the control dial was.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because that driving watch may not be from our time."

"Ok?"

Kal'tsit's expression froze, and she looked at Fang Ark and spoke slowly.

"what do you mean……"

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Kal'tsit looked at Fang Ark, who nodded without denying the statement, and picked up the list and murmured.

"Does this mean that in the future, or even within a year, a new subspecies of Sarkaz will be born?"

————————————————————————————

Chapter 321: Actions of All Parties

New Sarkaz will be born within the next year. This is nothing new.

From the era of ten thousand years ago or even longer ago to the present day, the Sarkaz have not remained unchanged in their current appearance.

Evolution occurs all the time among populations of organisms.

Whether it is some special optimizations of species in the old era in order to better adapt to the natural environment of the new era, or the birth of new species, Terra is no stranger to them today.

In this land covered with Originium, those rock crabs, Originium worms, pack animals, meat beasts, and tumor beasts may undergo earth-shaking changes between the previous generation and the next. This is also the reason why the biological taxonomy of this land has developed slowly, because under the influence of Originium, those creatures are changing all the time.

As a result, biologists on Terra are unable to make detailed classifications of organisms and can only classify them as horned beasts, pack animals, meat beasts, tumor beasts, etc. based on their functional characteristics.

This law also applies to Terran humans, but for such complex life forms as Terran humans, the replacement of species will be much slower.

"I wonder where this Sarkaz, called Shadow Demon, was born in this land? Kazdel?"

Fang Zhou looked at Kal'tsit muttering to herself, feeling a little amused.

Perhaps... the birth of Shadow Demon was not what they thought?

"So where did they get that alien Shadow Demon Driving Watch?"

"The only thing that is certain is that Tracy really did come back from the future to the present, but the way he came back to the present surprised me a little."

Fang Zhou recalled the time he met Tracy and his group in Londinium. That person was indeed Tracy, but where was Tracy?

This refers to the Tracys who came back from the future and the present Tracys. If the time robber came back from the future to the present, then there should be a Tracys who originally belonged to this era in this era.

But Ark had searched all of Londinium with his own perception, but hadn't detected a second Tracys. Could this be consciousness mapping? Projecting one's future consciousness onto one's past self?

It shouldn't be, because it is clearly written in the "Demon Advent Calendar" that Amiya will become king after killing Tracys, so Tracys should have died in the future, at least in the physical body... Well, it seems that it is indeed a consciousness mapping.

However, according to history, that should have been 1096. How could the Tracys at that time have mastered the technology of mind mapping that transcends time and space? This technology was not even mastered by previous civilizations. After all, any technology related to time is equivalent to the pinnacle of Zenithal technology for civilization. Once the technology of time is invented, it means that the era will quickly usher in the pinnacle of civilization.

Just look at Doraemon and you will know. The reason why that magical world has developed into such an outrageous state in the 22nd century, and even cause and effect have become toys in their hands, is that this technological explosion was caused by the invention of the time machine.

If Tracys mastered this technology, then it would be impossible...

That means there are other factors.

Seeing Fang Ark suddenly fall into silent thought, Kal'tsit sat quietly by the side waiting for him to finish thinking.

"Could it be Precious again?"

After thinking about it, Fang Zhou felt that he could only once again attribute the blame to Priseth, because he didn't think that anyone on the land of Terra today could master the technology to project a person's consciousness into his past self in a year. Even the previous civilization could not do this technology.

But what if a person who has mastered advanced technology from previous civilizations and happens to have outstanding achievements in the field of consciousness appears on this earth?

Precious.

Not only was he an outstanding scientist of the previous civilization, but he had also incarnated into Originium on the land of Terra today. Any life that was born, grew old, got sick, and died on this land, their consciousness would return to the Sea of ​​Solaris controlled by Prises after death. If anyone on this land today had the most profound attainments in soul and will, Prises was definitely worthy of the title.

Well, if it's her...it can only be her.

"Why do you mention this name again?"

"It's simple, because perhaps... she really is the real culprit behind the mess history has become today."

There was a golden light flashing in Fang Zhou's silver-gray eyes, and his tone was firm but also carried a hint of hesitation.

The golden light condensed and finally turned into the symbol of Originium that kept flashing. Priss stretched her body comfortably, and her exquisite body extended into beautiful curves with the movement.

"I've finally recovered, and I feel so comfortable now. Before, I always felt like something was missing."

Feeling the complete blood of Tikaz in his body, Precious leisurely fell on the soft bed.

This is Londinium.

After the Year Beast incident, she did not stay in Longmen for a moment, but made a strategic move directly back to Londinium.

After coming back, Tracys, who sensed her presence, did not hesitate and was already standing outside her bedroom.

"You came really fast. I thought you would slow down a little and give me some time to rest."

Tracy frowned, looking at the "Theresa" in front of him, and the sense of disharmony from deep in his heart became stronger and stronger. The next moment, with the flash of the Originium symbol in his eyes, the sense of disharmony suddenly disappeared.

"Did you come back suddenly and achieve any results?"

"If you're talking about battle results, it's not that there aren't any."

Precious said this, but Tracy waited for a long time and didn't see her take out anything, and suddenly his eyes became helpless.

"The results you mentioned are..."

"You should have seen it, or you should have felt it."

Precious walked out of her bedroom, and Tracy followed her. The two of them walked quietly through the corridor and then came to the meeting hall of the Iron Palace.

As expected, she saw the Shapeshifter's clone who was staying here. The Scavenger King also appeared here after a long absence, as well as Manfred.

There were only a few people, but all of them were the core figures of power in the current Kazdel Military Committee.

Seeing her appear here, the Scavenger King cast a serious look at her. When he saw Tracy's expression, he knew that the resurrected princess in front of him did not bring back the results they wanted.

However, the King of Scavengers will not refuse to accept this result, or they have already been mentally prepared for this result.

After all, the demon king that Tracy feared had such a terrifying figure by his side.

Thinking back to their first encounter with Ark during the time of disordered time and space and the battle in which they had no power to resist, the Scavenger King had to admit that it was impossible for them to defeat that man with their current strength.

He possessed a powerful force that they could not resist. If it were not for "Theresa" who saved them in the end with the alien shadow demon driving the watch head, they would probably have died in that chaotic history and would not have had the present time.

"At least we've come to a conclusion now. As long as the Doctor is still around, it will be difficult for us to truly defeat that demon king face to face."

"That man is our biggest obstacle before that demon king becomes king."

Tracy also said so, but he was also troubled. It's not like he had never seen the Doctor before, but in his impression, he was a weak man who was powerless and even worse than a Sarkaz child in terms of fighting ability.

What truly frightened that man at the time was his ruthless tactics and foresight. Leveraging the size of the Tower of Babel at the time, he was able to maintain a level with the Kazdel Military Council led by Tracys for several years. Even the Scavenger King highly praised the opposing commander's skills.

But after just over two years of not seeing each other, this man has mastered terrifying power beyond imagination. Even before Tracys returned here, in his timeline, he had never heard of how powerful the man in front of him was.
