People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"I'm sorry, Doctor."

Amiya felt a little disappointed, she knew she must have caused trouble for Ark again.

"Don't say that, Amiya. You have the right heart. No matter when or where, we don't want sacrifices to occur on our path forward. There are always people who say that when looking back on a great cause, seeing the number after the number of sacrifices brings tears to their eyes, but when it comes to sacrifice, the number that brings the most tears and the most admiration is always 0, or a blank."

"Doctor..."

"Relax on the way to Rutland and relieve the stress in your heart."

Beep beep.

The busy tone on the other end of the phone silenced Amiya.

"Relax...?"

Chapter 360: The Dispute between the Miniature City and the Flower Name

"So this is how the mission changes this time?"

Logos reread the mission change notice in his hand and rubbed his chin.

"That's right. A Cyclops who went out has found Amiya, and Amiya has successfully obtained the power of the Cyclops. So the mission of finding the Cyclops tribe can be put on hold for now. Wait for us to reunite with Amiya and have the Cyclops use the Anywhere Door to take us directly to her tribe. We can ask the current Lord of the Cyclops Court if he is willing to leave Sammy and come to Rhodes Island."

This is an unused dormitory inside Rhodes Island. Ark has now connected the left and right sides of it, combining three dormitories into one super large room.

At this time, Ark was using magic to control the miniature city models located in the already flourishing miniature city cluster.

If this urban cluster were enlarged proportionally, its size would be three times that of the former Chernobyl. If it really existed, it could be called the largest city in the world, even more magnificent than the former Lingones.

"The miniature city plus the shrinking tunnel transforms a tiny city model that was originally only usable as a model into a large, habitable city. It's a truly amazing prop combination."

Even the Sarkaz, who have a long history and many strange abilities, do not have the ability to shrink humans. If they really have such power, the Sarkaz, who have been suffering from homelessness, would have thought of it long ago.

"Once upon a time, a world suffered a devastating disaster, and the entire environment became unsuitable for life. To survive, the creatures living there used similar technology, isolating themselves from the outside world and living in a miniature world, continuing the development of civilization."

"That's truly a legendary civilization."

Looking at the miniature city in front of him, Logos understood that if the liches migrated to Rhodes Island, this miniature city would most likely be their home in the future.

"Yeah, life always finds a way."

Ark built the last large library in the east within the miniature city cluster.

"How do we do the simultaneous uploading of consciousness mentioned in this change notice? What do we need to do?"

For Logos, the cancellation of the mission to find the Cyclops tribe in this mission change notice is not important. After all, Ark already has a follow-up strategy, so he only needs to focus on the mission that has already undergone some detailed changes.

What interested him most was probably the so-called Xumagia consciousness uploading technology, which uploads human consciousness to a machine, and then uses the machine to go to some dangerous places for exploration and investigation missions. If this technology really exists, it would be a huge blessing for the archaeological and scientific research communities.

After all, for scientific expeditions and explorations of ancient civilizations, the dangerous areas involved in many exploration sites can be explored by robots with their own consciousness through this technology. This is far more reliable than letting those intelligent work platforms to explore.

After all, even if you transmit knowledge and technology related to archaeology and scientific research to those intelligent work platforms, there may be unexpected situations that go beyond the scope of the transmitted knowledge and technology.

Because of these unexpected situations, artificial intelligence may not be able to handle them well, but experienced and skilled archaeologists and scientific research experts are different.

Logos thought of the application of this technology in an instant, and this application was exactly what was needed for this mission.

"I'll have you adapt to this technology later, but the mission personnel will be changed. Huang isn't good at this kind of work, so he'll stay on this ship for now. I'll accompany you later."

Logos's eyes narrowed.

"You want to go too? Amiya will be mad if she finds out."

"I've already told her that I would have gone along on the Stargate investigation mission. After all, Stargate technology is completely unknown to you. If you simply wanted to research it, it would probably take years to figure out anything. We don't have that kind of time."

The entire miniature city cluster was sealed with an energy shield, and a small circular door appeared with a flash of red light in Fang Ark's hand.

"During the investigation, we need to investigate the current status of the Star Gate. Once the investigation is complete, we will temporarily close the Star Gate. This kind of technology is still too early for Terra right now. You can't get everything done in one go, and you can't get the hot tofu in a hurry. Everything must be done step by step."

Yes, everything should be done step by step.

But Amiya has obviously been in a much more restless mood recently.

"Is this the Star Gate?"

"A model."

The small door fell into Logos' hands. The banshee studied the mystery inside it and found that it was just an exquisite model made of plastic and small circuits.

"I thought you were going to make me a little stargate just for demonstration."

"Ha, if I made a small star gate and a demon popped out of it the next second, you wouldn't be able to laugh anymore."

Logos snorted, then walked out with the mission change notice.

"Have you informed them all? Ace and the others."

"I've already sent a text message to their phones. Luckily, you haven't left yet, otherwise it might take a while to return the same way."

Logos chuckled twice when he heard this.

"I think it's a pity. After all, I missed the opportunity to travel to Sami."

“It’s not a good place to travel.”

Fang Zhou looked at Logos' back and smiled slightly.

"If you really want to experience the scenery of the Snow Country, you might as well go to Ursus. Although that place has its own problems, at least it won't produce those completely unreasonable collapse objects."

"Please spare me. I respectfully refuse to visit Ursus. Besides, it's not like I haven't been there before."

Logos left the room. Fang Zhou only took care of the final finishing work, locked the door, and walked towards his dormitory.

"Come to think of it, Amiya said that the Cyclops saw a future with Oma Zi-O. That's strange. I remember that the Cyclops's farsightedness was due to the collective memory of the Sarkaz, or the souls, a deduction based on reality. So why did Oma Zi-O appear in Elki's vision?"

Fang Zhou touched his chin and fell into thought.

The reason why the souls of the Sarkaz were born was because the Far Drifters initially established a connection with the Originium, resulting in the "information" of each Sarkaz after his death, including the injustice and anger he suffered, lingering forever in the Originium.

Not only can the dead not rest in peace, but even the living have no possibility of letting go of past hatreds. That is why the Sarkaz cycle is endless war and destruction. After becoming a demon king, every demon king will see the inevitable recurrence of destruction from the memories of countless predecessors, and then fall into despair and join the cycle.

Therefore, in the original timeline, Theresa wanted to "liberate" the souls. Only by destroying the connection between the souls and the Sarkaz could the Sarkaz have the possibility of returning to a normal nation.

Otherwise, Fang Zhou could imagine that as a Sarkaz, once something happened that connected with his ancestors, it would be difficult for him not to go to extremes, even if his ancestors were whispering in his ears.

Souls, Originium, Foresight... No way.

It couldn't possibly be... It shouldn't be. After all, what good would it do her? Or maybe there was another possibility, like...

Hiss... No, I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about this kind of thing, the more complicated it becomes. It's better to keep it simple and just pretend that the Cyclops really has the ability to predict the future.

When Fang Zhou thought of this for the first time, he felt his mind become clear. His brain, which had been working at high speed, instantly calmed down, making him feel comfortable.

"Sure enough, taking some time to be a good waste is very beneficial to your physical and mental health."

"I can't pretend I didn't hear this."

Fang Zhou was startled by the sudden sound. He turned around and saw Kal'tsit coming from the corridor on the other side. She was holding a pot of beautiful snow-white flowers and standing there looking at him coldly.

"Although our main goal is now quite clear, and we just need to continue on this path, I must remind you, Doctor, that in this land, we can't solve all problems by simply choosing a path and walking it safely. We must consider every possibility, even if it's extremely small. Just like your cloud beast may find it difficult to kill you, the chance is not zero."

Gelsi walked over from the other side of the corridor and started talking non-stop, making Fang Zhou cover his ears involuntarily.

"Kal'tsit, you really should change your chatterbox habit. If you could condense your words into 15 words or less, I believe the entire Rhodes Island would be very happy. Warfarin would definitely set off fireworks to celebrate. I hope Kal'tsit doesn't make the fireworks too expensive."

Upon hearing this, Kal'tsit glared at Fang Ark fiercely, but this feeling of dissatisfaction did not last long. It soon disappeared after Kal'tsit raised her long legs slightly and her heels made intimate contact with Fang Ark's butt.

"Hiss! You woman!"

"Humph."

After the two officially confirmed their relationship, Kal'tsit's attitude towards Ark changed drastically. She usually looked a little cold, but at certain special moments she would reveal the emotional side of a normal woman.

For example, right now.

A faint cold snort was accompanied by Kal'tsit's casual glance at Fang Zhou. The latter rubbed his butt, noticed Kal'tsit's eyes, and chuckled. He immediately walked over from behind, took the pot of small white flowers in her hand, and finally stuck to her without any hesitation, walking shoulder to shoulder with Kal'tsit in the corridor.

"Did you get this flower from the perfumer's healing garden? It smells quite nice."

Fang Zhou sniffed the sweet fragrance of the flowers. The cool aroma penetrated his nose into his brain, making him feel refreshed in an instant.

"Is this... mint? But this looks more like an orchid."

With doubt in his mind, a red light flashed in Fang Zhou's eyes, and he began to analyze the details of the plant in front of him.

"This flower is... well, can't you just let people finish their words?"

Just as Kal'tsit was about to explain the origin of the flower to Fang Ark, she saw a flash of red in his eyes. Knowing what he was doing, Kal'tsit poked Fang Ark's shoulder in dissatisfaction. Such a little girl-like action made the latter stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.

"Okay, okay, then I'd like to ask Dr. Kal'tsit to explain to me what's going on with this flower. It seems my analytical ability was suddenly affected by some mysterious force and malfunctioned, so I can't figure out anything."

The playful smile on the man's face made Kal'tsit's eyes flash with joy, but then she turned her head and glanced at Fang Ark in pretended dissatisfaction.

"You're trying to coax me with the same tricks you use to coax children? You're such a hopeless idiot."

As she spoke, Kal'tsit quickened her pace and walked forward, but Fang Ark was chasing closely behind her, holding the pot of flowers in his hand, and chattering about Kal'tsit left and right. Finally, when they were about to walk through a corridor and turn a corner (in fact, the next corner was only a few meters away), Kal'tsit seemed that she could no longer bear it, and grabbed Fang Ark's shoulders to tell him to stop running around her.

"Alright, alright, I'm telling you, okay? Stop running back and forth like that."

"Thank you, Doctor Kelsey."

Seeing that Kal'tsit's expression had eased, Fang Zhou held the flowerpot with one hand and grabbed Kal'tsit's small hand with the other hand and clasped their fingers together, causing the lynx cat's fair face to be stunned for a moment before a blush appeared on it. After struggling several times and failing to break free from Fang Zhou's powerful hand, it could only accept its fate and give up, while glaring at Fang Zhou fiercely.

"This is a new variety developed by a perfumer. It not only retains the beauty of an orchid in appearance, but also exhibits a mint-like aroma. If you smell it carefully, you'll also get a subtle orchid-like fragrance."

New varieties of flowers, Miss Wolper from Minos is quite capable, but Minos... Never mind, it's rude to think about these things at this time.

"What's this flower called? Bohollandia?"

The name that Fang Ark casually mentioned was met with a roll of the eyes from Kal'tsit.

"Although you are excellent in other aspects, you are the only one who is good at naming. Don't do it again in the future."

"...Uh, Bo Holland, that's pretty good. You see, it not only highlights the orchid's nature, but also reveals its characteristic minty aroma. What a fitting name. Species names should always convey their essence right away!"

"I think it's not a bad idea for flowers to have a little more romance, like Pescemansi?"

Fang Zhou pulled the corner of his mouth speechlessly.

"What kind of name is that? It's completely confusing, and doesn't the name only highlight mint? What about orchid?"

"Then it's Mansiochis."

"Why are all the names from Minoan epic myths? Shouldn't the most famous orchid be the Clivia from Dayan?"

"Because the perfumer was Minoan, I felt that if I named this flower, I should respect the perfumer."

"Then why don't you just let the perfumer do it himself?"

"But you brought up this topic!"

They bickered as they walked, and the operators passing by smiled knowingly at the two top leaders of Rhodes Island, then quickly moved aside to ensure they could watch the show without being affected.

Chapter 361 Maybe I came at the wrong time

“It doesn’t feel as good as the Bo Netherlands.”

Kal'tsit's forehead was bulging with blue veins. This guy...

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. Didn't the perfumer name this flower?"

"No."

Kal'tsit took the pot of flowers from Fang Ark. After the two walked into the office, Kal'tsit placed the flowers on the upper left corner of Fang Ark's desk, so that Fang Ark, who was sitting in the office chair, could smell the mint scent with the delicate beauty of orchids while dealing with those documents that would make people feel overwhelmed.

“So this pot of flowers…”

Fang Zhou looked at the pot of flowers on the corner of the table and looked at Kal'tsit.

"Your place is full of documents and potions, and there are no flowers or plants. I don't feel comfortable staying here. I didn't bring this specifically for you."

Kal'tsit didn't look at the Ark, but at the wilderness outside, her face flushed.

Ha, what a tsundere old cat. But being tsundere is an outdated attribute. Now it’s more popular to be straightforward, so…

Fang Zhou went straight up and hugged Kal'tsit from behind, with his chin resting on Kal'tsit's shoulder.

"Thank you."

"Woo--I said, this isn't for you..."

"Thank you."

Kal'tsit's words were completely blocked in her mouth. She could only mutter with a little dissatisfaction but also a little happiness in her heart:

"what ever."

The smell on Kal'tsit was very similar to that of the flower, except that it had a stronger sense of purity. It felt like a high-altitude flower hanging on a cliff, but now this high-altitude flower was safely in the flowerpot on the Ark.
