People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

So I think our actions at that time were observed by one of the remnants of the Witch King, who then sent the Tower Wizards to investigate. The investigation led them to Rhodes Island, and then they asked them to investigate our whereabouts through Rhodes Island. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

The few of them talked as they walked. Amiya's idea was not unreasonable. An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. So those people probably wanted to investigate why this special group that had never appeared in Leitania was treated like this by the military police. As for the result, it was just what she said before, investigation.

It's just that the investigation methods used by those guys seemed a little rough.

"I see."

Amiya's speculation made some sense. Whether it was the disaster caused by the difference between Rhodes Island's development philosophy in Leithania and the Witch King's philosophy supported by the remnants of the Witch King, or the investigation caused by their various strange and unusual actions in Leithania City that attracted attention, all of these were possible.

"But what exactly happened then, and why did they come to us... We'll find out when we get back to the office by asking Pencil Holder. Ask those tower mages what they asked him. But in truth, these reasons are no longer important. Since they chose to attack Rhodes Island in the first place, the reason has been secondary since then. Punishing them as a deterrent is the most important thing."

Besides, the remnants of the Witch King might never again stir up trouble in Letania from today onwards.

Lin Guang and Shan Ling both looked a little strange. They found it hard to imagine that such words came out of the mouth of the always gentle little rabbit.

But from a certain perspective, the gentle little rabbit actually had shortcomings, and being tougher like this actually had its advantages.

And it looks quite novel.

"Amiya, what you did in the square before... I mean the way you punished those people."

Shining glanced at Amiya's white, tender and delicate hands. It was hard to imagine that it was these hands that had just turned several powerful magicians who were in their prime or even younger and proficient in Originium skills into old and haggard men with their necks buried in the dirt.

How did they do that? Was it Originium techniques? Or something else?

If there were such a technique as this...

Shining suddenly thought of his father.

Quesatusta, the man with great ambitions, the man who occupied the bodies of his descendants and continued to reincarnate, and regarded his own body as the purest container in this era, the man who wanted to occupy his own body.

If this kind of Originium skill existed, the man would probably study it like crazy and master it in his own hands, because as long as he mastered this Originium skill, it would mean that he would no longer have to use the evil witchcraft that occupied the bodies of his descendants, but would truly use this skill to live forever on this earth.

"Those are just special uses of a strange power within my body."

When that golden power first awakened, Amiya only knew that she could use it to pause time for a short period of about five seconds.

But when confronting the Shapeshifter, the power suddenly began to expand due to the excitement of her emotions. It was not an expansion in quantity, but Amiya felt that she could mobilize the power more flexibly and do more things.

For example, now she can not only pause time, but can even reverse time or even speed it up.

It was the reversal of time that saved the shapeshifter. She turned the shapeshifter's time back to the time when he was not controlled by Prisseth and infected with the mineral disease.

In the square in front of the Twin Towers, the time of those tower magicians was accelerated infinitely, and finally stopped at the time when they were already very old.

However, the energy consumed by time reversal and time acceleration is obviously greater than that consumed by time pause.

Although the scale is far beyond the time stop, the larger the scale, the greater the consumption. Accelerating the time of those high tower magicians to the moment of aging almost made Amiya fall there. Fortunately, she used the power of the banshee to make her body full of vitality again. However, the golden power in her body has not fully recovered yet, and it will probably take some time.

To be honest, I still don't know what this golden power is. The last time I saw my future self, I seemed to have seen her use this power, but the one she used was obviously much more powerful than mine.

I'll ask the Doctor when I get back. Speaking of which, the Doctor is really something. Every time I have to ask him in person about this kind of thing, he will only give me an answer. Can't he just tell me directly?

Hmm, that's right! This time, the power manifests as time stopping. I guess the Doctor doesn't even know he has it yet. Even though he's used it many times, he should be able to see some clues.

"Amiya."

At this moment, the kitten next to her suddenly reached out and handed the dried puffer fish she had been carrying to Amiya.

"Rosemary? Didn't the Doctor give this to you?"

"Well, but the Doctor said that during this mission, if I felt there was a particularly critical moment, I should use this dried fish to call him. But now that the mission is over, I think I should give this thing to you, and then you should return it to the Doctor."

Amiya looked at the dried fish in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then gave it back to Rosemary.

"The mission isn't over yet. Although we've accomplished the main objective of this mission, we haven't returned to Rhodes Island yet. Our mission isn't over until we report back to the Doctor, okay? You should keep this with you. After all, it might be useful in case something unexpected happens later."

"Wow, Amiya, don't say that. Do you know Murphy's Law? The more someone doesn't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen, especially if it's something bad.

Although I don't know who came up with this kind of thing, and it sounds quite unreliable, I think it's better to be careful and not say such things at this time."

Seeing that the atmosphere had become much more relaxed, Ermengarde finally walked up to Amiya and, acting like a metaphysical fortune teller, he introduced Amiya to the magical legends circulating in all walks of life.

For example, medical professionals should never say "I have nothing to do today", and security professionals should never say "No case happened today" or similar words. In short, you should not talk about how free you are, otherwise...

"Otherwise, I'll be reborn in the next second, and then I won't be able to complain or grumble much. I'll be trapped in countless ridiculously difficult academic projects and writing endless reports!"

Looking at Ermengarde's understanding expression, and the examples given later, Amiya looked at Frémont behind her with a subtle expression.

At this time, the old lich was staring at his disciple with a rather unfriendly look. However, Ermengarde, who had relaxed his vigilance due to the relaxed atmosphere, did not feel the murderous aura coming from his teacher.

"Ahhh, Miss Ermengarde, it's okay, I get it. I won't say that again. Ah, well, the office is right in front of us. Let's go back and see how serious the pencil holder's injury is. Shining, you can also help heal him."

At the end of the street in the distance, the Rhodes Island office finally appeared. Amiya immediately used this as an excuse to stop Ermengarde from continuing. If she didn't stop her now, she would be the one being stopped.

Chapter 343: Innocent Monsters and Dajjar

Just when Amiya and her group had returned to the Rhodes Island office in Trilintelme, inside the Twin Towers.

The twin queens, having calmed down, returned to the tower and were about to go to the council chamber to carefully discuss the next changes in Leitania's national policy when they suddenly remembered another person whom they had neglected because of the affairs of Amiya and others.

The Twin Queens sent the Queen's Voice to lead the noble who had defected to the Witch King to a secret room in the Twin Towers.

"Has he been placed here?"

Helinmart glanced sideways at the Queen's Voice beside her, who responded immediately.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The bloodline of the Witch King, I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

Recalling the appearance of the Witch King-like monster at Ludwig University, Liselotte's eyes became gloomy.

That couldn't be a natural appearance, nor could it be a skill derived from Originium.

That chaotic rhythm was unbearable for ordinary people. She and Helinmart were familiar with the Witch King's descendants. The Witch King had ruled Leithania for over a hundred years, possessing his own harem and concubines, and his bloodline naturally passed down. However, after overthrowing the Witch King, the Earldom of Utica swiftly severing ties with him almost immediately, stating that the deceased Witch King was Herhunzollon, and that Otto Dietur Gustav von Utica had died when the Witch King ascended the throne.

Haha, now you know how to cut off ties. You didn’t have this attitude when the Witch King was gaining power in the country.

Even though he slid down quickly, he still could not escape the reckoning. The Count of Utica's power was cut again and again, and his territory was much smaller than before. However, out of the so-called protection of the nobles, and perhaps also because they did not want to set a precedent for the emperor to completely demote an ancient noble family, other nobles and even the electors began to defend the Utica family.

Until now, the Utica family still maintains the title of nobility in the Enward region. Although the treatment is not as good as before, and even Utica's territory, Utica City, has become quite dilapidated, it is still a noble status, and its current head of the family is Franz in front of the Twin Queens, Franz von Utica.

As if to truly cut ties with the Witch King, the new head of Utica removed all his middle names, retaining only the noble surnames Feng and Utica.

"Franz? It seems you're awake."

When the Queen's Voice led the twin queens into this room, which was said to be a secret room but was actually no different from a prison cell, they saw Franz sitting on the bed with his head in his arms and a look of sorrow on his face.

"...Criminal Franz, I greet Her Majesty the Queen."

Franz did not lose his memory of the time when he turned into a monster. He knew what he had done and what he had become. So when he saw the Twin Queens, he felt that his life seemed to have come to an end at this moment. His decadence was visible to the naked eye, and he even called himself a sinner.

"Criminal, that's a self-aware title."

As Helinmart said this, Franz's expression became even more gloomy because of these words.

He originally just wanted to escape his predetermined fate. Although he was the head of the Utica family, the power he held was actually less than that of the servants in his family.

The so-called head of the family is only the head of a tower.

Those so-called retainers never regarded him as their master at all. The real masters of the Utica family were those other people with the surname Utica, his nominal cousins ​​or uncles... and those tower magicians who concealed their faces.

His status as the head of the family only allowed him to live a worry-free life in the tower. In Utica, even going out to see the scenery was a luxury for him.

So when chaos was about to break out in Leithania, he wanted to escape, taking advantage of the chaos to escape, and not worrying about his future food, clothing and shelter. He just wanted to gain that freedom, even if behind that short freedom was a cruel death, but he, Franz von Utica was willing to accept it.

But he failed. After escaping from his family, he did not enjoy the freedom he had imagined. All he faced every day was endless pursuit and escape. Finally, after an unknown amount of time on the run, he was captured by a strange-looking old man. This man kept inflicting strange primitive memories on him every day, making the irritating voice in his head louder and louder.

The old man frequently mentioned the Witch King. Yes, the Witch King, he knew him. The reason he was able to become the head of the Untitled Card family was because he shared the same blood as the Witch King.

He hated his blood.

Then time came to the present, when the sky changed, he only felt that the voice in his head became more and more noisy, and even made his senses unable to hear anything else except that voice. Then there was the boiling blood in his body, the proliferation of source stone... and then, he knew nothing.

Until he regained consciousness, his mind appeared with what he had done after he lost consciousness and the horrible appearance of his incarnation.

Although he didn't hurt anyone in his memory, even so, he would no longer have a place in Leitania after showing his carefree attitude. It was even a question whether he could leave Leitania alive.

"How much do you know about your own affairs?"

Franz's expression changed when he heard these words. In fact, after regaining consciousness, he not only gained the memory of his transformation into the Witch King, but also the childhood experiences that had long been buried deep in his brain.

A small house in the wilderness, groups of children, white brothers...

"Well……"

Franz covered his head in pain.

"It seems you remember now."

Looking at Franz's expression, Helinmart could probably tell what he was thinking about.

"Most of the kids from your batch are dead now. Only one is left."

One? One!

"who is it?"

Franz asked with some difficulty.

"A child named Chalk, coincidentally, is now wandering with his grandfather to a small village in the Enwad region."

Coincidence, haha, is it really a coincidence?

Franz wanted to laugh. What did "coincidentally" mean? How hypocritical.

And he was able to know the other person's whereabouts so accurately. The so-called grandfather who was wandering with him probably had another identity.

France thought so, and his silence made Liselotte on the opposite side relax, and she slowly walked to his side.

"Relax, child. Whether in your childhood or in the Earldom of Udica afterwards, the suffering you endured is enough to make anyone cry, but now it is all over. From today on, the Witch King will completely withdraw from the stage of Leithania's history."

What does that mean? The Witch King died 19 years ago, so how can he be completely removed from the historical stage of Leithnia from today? Does that mean...

"It seems you realize what I'm saying, kid. From today on, your suffering is over."

Liselotte gently stroked Franz's head. Her gentle face and compassionate smile reminded Franz of his mother's smile, which had become blurred in his memory.

What does mother... look like?

The kind face of Liselotte in front of him gradually overlapped with the vague mother in Franz's memory, and his tense and sad heart slowly relaxed at this moment.

Seeing that Franz's mood seemed to have calmed down at this moment, Liselotte understood that now was not the time to continue the attack and she needed to let the young count calm down a little.

She didn't say anything else, but just signaled Linmat with her eyes to leave first, and then walked out of the secret room with the twin queens of the Queen's Voice.

"When interacting with others, one must exchange sincerity for sincerity. Fortunately, this child hasn't made any serious mistakes yet, and has only been carried forward by the tide. As for his brother..."

Liselotte looked at one of the queens beside her as she spoke. The queen immediately sorted out the information in her mind and spoke:

"There's nothing unusual happening with Cretaceous. It's just that after that Sakota taught him to play the cello five years ago, his vocal skills have improved, and the activity of the [Mundane Sound] in his mind has slightly increased."

In the land of Leithania, few things can truly be hidden from the Twin Queens. Even if the remnants of the Witch King still exist today, they can only pretend to be alive by wandering around and constantly developing.

But now this endless cycle of life should also come to an end.

Helinmart looked at the noble who was suppressed by the Queen's Voice and ordered:

"Let's give this kid named Franz a proper living room. After all, he's an innocent person who suffered an unprovoked disaster."

The Queen's Voice did not dare to object and could only nod in agreement.

But when he glanced at the secret room out of the corner of his eye, he was muttering in his heart.

Is he truly innocent? His demeanor is no different from that of the Witch King...

Perhaps at the moment the Witch King falls, all those who are involved with him and share the same bloodline will no longer be able to be innocently accused.

Innocent people, or perhaps more accurately, innocent monsters.

...............................

"Who are you? Please show me your identification."

While Trilintelme was still busy dealing with matters related to the remnants of the Witch King, at the border of Leithania, a tall man in a cloth robe was stopped by the Leithania border troops.

"Identification is here, eh? Do you still need a body search?"

The tall man submitted his entry application and identity documents, but then he saw the Leithanian border troops approaching him and leading him into a small house. Judging from the equipment inside, it seemed that they would also search him.

"A body search is necessary, but it wasn't so strict before. Don't you know? The situation in Leitania is not simple recently... Ouch!"

A border soldier who looked relatively young kept chattering away, but was eventually slapped on the back of the head by the veteran soldier behind him.

"Speak what you need to say, and shut up if you shouldn't. Sir, there's a policy from above that border searches will be stricter. Even if you're a duke of another country, once you get here, you have no choice but to submit to a body search."

As he said this, the veteran had already begun checking the man's identification and entry application.
