People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"I'm here, come in."

It felt like I had said this many times today, and as Fang Zhou finished speaking, the office door was pushed open again.

The golden Mantiko walked in, but the bright expression on her face, which was about to greet Fang Zhou, froze the moment she saw Vina.

"Uh...huh?"

The golden hair that looks like flames and the eyes that look like gold, although they look a little lazy, there is unquestionable pride hidden in their eyes.

Even though he was still young, the Vizier vowed that he would never admit his mistake.

Strange, why is there an Aslan here?

In the timeline he was in before, he had not collected any important intelligence about the existence of Aslan on Rhodes Island.

If there is an Aslan on the Island of Rhodes, regardless of whether he is Sargon's Aslan, the remaining old guys of Sargon will definitely support him to become Sargon's new king of kings. How could they still bow down to Victoria, the red dragon?

However, considering that the power that Tallulah possessed at the time was indeed the only hope to fight against the Demon King, perhaps this was also the reason that supported those old guys to follow her.

However, looking at Vina's appearance, the Vizier went through all the memories related to Aslan in his mind countless times, and finally confirmed that there was absolutely no such Aslan within the scope of his knowledge.

Even in Sargon, the number of Aslans was quite small. Most of the descendants of Pashas and chiefs could only be called Filin. As a race divided by political power, whether they were Aslans depended entirely on the rulers at the time and the secular power they controlled. Even if someone was considered to be the heir of Filin, as long as he won the inheritance right and took the throne, then if he said he was Aslan, then he was Aslan.

This has long been an unspoken political game among the supreme powers of Sargon.

But even so, the vizier could not say that she knew all the pashas or chiefs who could bear the title of Aslan in Sargon, but she had seen 99.9% of them, and there was definitely no one like the one in front of her.

"Ah, it seems like you really have a huge surprise for me, Doctor!"

Restraining his emotions and hiding the surprise on his face, Weichel looked at Vina with interest as if nothing had happened just now, and then looked at Fang Zhou with a smile.

"you know me?"

Although she didn't know who the other person was, Vina recognized his identity through his obvious racial characteristics: Manticore from Sargon.

As for the ancient empire that is still ruled by Aslan, he had introduced it to Vina many times before his father died.

However, although Victoria's Aslan and Sargon's Aslan are both Aslan, they have been separated for a long time. Even if the two Aslan had contact a long time ago, they have long since stopped communicating with each other. In particular, Sargon and Victoria once had a conflict at the national level, which made the two Aslan in the two countries directly cut off their ties with each other, and even expelled each other's Aslan nationality.

Vina had only heard of the past from her father and in history books. As mentioned before, the Aslans in the two countries had long ceased to have any contact with each other, so even when she was wandering on the streets of Victoria, Vina had never thought of joining Sargon's Aslan.

Of course, this is also because the journey is too long.

Because he knew Sargon, he naturally knew Manticore's special status in Sargon, and from the other party's expression and posture, he had obviously recognized him.

Since the other party had recognized her, and on Rhodes Island, Vina had no intention of hiding it. Her pair of golden eyes looked directly into the Vizier's eyes, and there seemed to be golden flames flashing in them, which shocked the Vizier's heart.

It's definitely an Aslan, it's definitely an Aslan! It's Aslan from Victoria!

"No, we haven't met."

The Vizier looked at Vina with a smile. He had originally just wanted to come here to build a closer relationship with the Doctor and Dr. Kal'tsit and consolidate his position in the Demon King's camp. After all, this was the key pillar of his future peaceful life. He couldn't just think that he was safe and sound just because he was in Rhodes Island.

You have to know that the Demon King cares most about this Doctor and Dr. Kal'tsit in Rhodes Island. As long as she has a good relationship with them, her status in the Demon King will not be low.

I just didn't expect that a sudden impulse would bring me such a big surprise.

"This is Special Forces Operator Vizier. It's normal that you don't recognize her, Vina, because she just joined Rhodes Island these past two days."

Just joined Rhodes Island these two days?

All the thoughts in Vina's mind turned over and then locked onto a dragon girl with silver hair.

"Is she the liaison between the Reunion Movement and us?"

"Ok?"

Vina's answer made Fang Zhou stunned. He didn't know why the little lion suddenly thought that Vizier was a member of the Integration Movement. But thinking of Vizier's resume...

Aha, if you say that he was a member of the Reunion Movement before, then it’s not wrong.

After all, the current integration movement is the predecessor of the Victorian Empire in the Demon King era.

"No, you should have figured it out by now, right? I'm Manticore from Sargon. As for who I used to be, I once served the King of Kings."

King of kings?!

There has only ever been one person on this earth who can be called the King of Kings.

That was the heir of the ancient ruler who had founded the monarchy, the present emperor of the Sargon Empire.

"Are you the attendant of the Emperor of the Sargon Empire?"

Vina felt that her surprise threshold would be raised again after today. After all, she had thought that there would be operators from Sargon on Rhodes Island. After all, although the ancient empire was now dragged down by redundant and backward systems, it was not closed off from the outside world. Even a country like Iberia that was truly closed off from the outside world could still see some Iberians who had left their country wandering around the land.

But she didn't expect that Rhodes Island would have such close cooperation with Sargon's court, and even the attendant of the King of Kings was sent over.

"You're such a naive little lion. I really think you believe it."

Looking at Vina's shocked expression, Vizier looked at her with a sweet smile, but there was still a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

"Ah? Then you..."

"I just served the King of kings."

Ever?

Well, it's just another timeline, and the King of Kings she served has been killed.

"But I thought Aslan of Victoria had truly disappeared. After all, your Victoria's massive revolution 24 years ago made all of Terra turn their attention to Victoria."

This is really a case of bringing up something that is not related to the topic.

Vina stared at Mantiko in silence. "Why does this person always bring up other people's sorrows?" "Could it be that my previous behavior reminded her of her past service to the King of Kings and the pain of her current fall from grace? Wasn't that what you brought up yourself?"

What game couldn't understand the train of thought of the person in front of her? But faced with this question, she could only answer with silence.

"Doctor."

After a brief silence, Vina chose to ignore this person and instead looked at Fang Zhou. However, after thinking about her next question, she glanced at the vizier out of the corner of her eye.

"Oh, as for the question you want to ask... Don't worry, she's also an insider. She knows Tallulah's identity, and you don't have to worry about her spreading this information to others. She's already tied to Rhodes Island, so she wouldn't make such a foolish choice."

Although what you said is true, it makes me sad to say it so bluntly.

The corner of Vizier's eye twitched slightly, but she was not surprised that Fang Ark could see clearly the reason why she stayed in Rhodes Island. After all, this was the royal teacher who had taught the Demon King. Even if this royal teacher only gained the title for raising the Demon King or for other reasons, he was at least the chief tactical commander of Rhodes Island, and his vision was definitely not bad, so Vizier did not think that she could hide it from them at first.

"Is that so?"

Vina glanced at the vizier. The identity of the Mantiko in front of her didn't seem as simple as it seemed.

"That's right. What I want to ask is the same question that Indra and the others wanted to ask at that time."

Vina's eyes flashed with thought, and the words of those Kurantas were still echoing in her mind.

"About that Tallulah they call Empress Victoria."

Although Victoria still maintained an imperial system to the outside world, the supreme ruler of Victoria was essentially the king. Victoria also implemented a system in which the king and the great nobles jointly ruled the country. Just like France in the 17th century, the king was not an absolute ruler. The king was only the greatest noble and had the greatest authority in theory. In fact, many decisions were just the result of compromise with the great nobles.

That's why her father wanted to launch reforms, with the aim of strengthening the king's power and weakening the influence of the great nobles on national politics, but... the result is obvious, but at least he kept his head, don't you think?

So Victoria actually didn't have the title of emperor, but she did give herself the title of emperor before her father died, but... alas...

"Well, this matter is very complicated. Just assume that those Kuranta are supporters of the Victorian Red Dragon Royal Family, and Tallulah... you should have heard of her full name."

Vina nodded after hearing Fang Zhou's words. She had naturally inquired about this matter. Tallulah's full name was: Tallulah Atrias.

"Is she...really the daughter of Edward Atrias?"

Fang Zhou nodded, and then he looked at Vina with some curiosity.

"Speaking of this, I'm really curious. Did you, Victoria, really never reopen the investigation into Edward's escape? Furthermore, I remember Tallulah was already very famous in Ursus politics a few years ago, considered a rising star, and she always used her real name. But your Victoria network can't gather any information about Tallulah, who calls herself Vayvan but whose last name is Atrias. Or maybe you've gathered information but haven't paid any attention to it?"

This question made Vina a little puzzled. During the years she wandered the streets of Victoria, she rarely paid attention to political issues. At most, she would wait and see when the grand dukes would be unable to resist and invade Londinium.

She had never heard of Tallulah's problem.

"This... I don't know."

Ah, yes, it’s normal that you don’t know about this kind of thing.

"But from what I know about Victoria, maybe... they really have gathered intelligence on Lady Tallulah, but for various reasons, it may not have reached the Grand Duke yet."

But it may have been delivered by now.

Vina thought so. After all, Talulah was the first person to establish an infected city on this land. Even if the civil servants in the intelligence system could not deliver this kind of information to the top, the intelligence agents under the Grand Duke would definitely deliver it to the Grand Duke's desk. The name Talulah Atrias would also enter the Grand Duke's field of vision.

Especially the Iron Duke.

A gleam of light flashed in Vina's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Fang Ark expressed his understanding of Vina's statement. After all, in Victoria's civil service system, those who understand will understand.

Especially now that Victoria is about to split into eight or even nine petals, it is estimated that those civil servants are basically in a half-broken state.

"But Doctor."

"how?"

"Can you tell me something more reliable than the perfunctory statements of the Red Dragon Royal Family's supporters?"

Vina's usual lazy look faded a little, and Fang Zhou sighed helplessly. It seemed that this little lion would not give up until he got the truth.

"Doctor. I think Vina does have the right to know, doesn't she?"

But at this moment, a deep and magnetic male voice, different from everyone else's, echoed in the office.

Fang Zhou said he was used to it, while Vizier and Vina were shocked to see the strange creature that had appeared in front of the refrigerator in the office.

The golden lion sat in front of the refrigerator, watching his student Xu from the corner of his eye, who was looking at him in surprise.

"Teacher...you..."

Vina hasn't seen Gawain for a long time.

The last time she saw Gawain was when she followed Gawain's instructions and came to Rhodes Island to meet Dr. Kal'tsit. Gawain told her that Dr. Filin could be trusted.

Since then, she has never seen Gawain again. She only briefly felt that Gawain was still with her in Rhodes Island, but that was all.

"Don't be surprised, Vina, I've always been here."

Seeing Vina's surprise, Gao Wen comforted her while scratching the refrigerator door with his heavy claws.

"..."

"Ahem, this is the first time I appear before you, Doctor from Rhodes Island. Don't panic, I'm not a monster, nor am I an illusion."

Gawain said this, but unlike the surprise he expected, he felt that Fang Zhou's eyes looking at him revealed only a hint of amusement, which made him confused, and then he scratched the refrigerator door with his heavy claws.

"Well... Doctor from Rhodes Island, you know, now Vina..."

"Stop, I'm actually interested."

"?"

Gawain scratched the refrigerator door with his claws while looking at Fang Zhou, and was very interested in what the latter wanted to say about his interest.

"You, the once-powerful overlords who were able to force the ancient Tikaz to the Silver Mountains and detonate the primordial Originium, have you ever tried to recapture your former power after thousands of years?"

Gawain uttered a soft "hmm" and then tried to change the direction of his claws. Finally, under Vina's strange gaze, he opened the refrigerator door and pulled out a bottle of soda from it.

"It seems you know a lot more than I expected."

Vina watched as Gawain pulled out a bottle of soda, inserted his fingernails into the bottle cap and pulled it out, then grasped the bottle with his broad claws and gulped it down into his big mouth.

So you were just rummaging through the fridge looking for a soda?

Drink loudly!

After pouring half a bottle of soda into his mouth, Gawain tried hard to control his stomach. He then just let out a long burp before looking at Vina who was looking at him strangely.

"Don't look at me like that. Even I want to drink something nice and eat something delicious every now and then."

Gawain said this and drank the remaining half bottle of soda. After another long burp, Gawain felt refreshed all over.

"What do you think of my previous suggestion?"

In response to Gawain's question, Fang Zhou tapped the table lightly.

"Well, Doctor, don't forget that Vina was once one of your chosen candidates. Although she was indeed rejected by that power, I don't think she should have been left without the right to know in the end, especially since this matter involves the meaning of the last name Victoria, right?"

Fang Zhou was a little uneasy when he heard Gawain say this.

"you……"

"Actually, I saw the whole thing, but maybe because you were too anxious, you didn't notice that I was actually watching you right next to you."

"Is this... like this?"
