People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"The little props Miss Theresa gave me are really useful. Using a rabbit to find a rabbit is really bad taste."

Following the direction indicated by the rabbit's head, Dajjal smiled and placed his hand on his heart.

"It seems to be in this direction. Please be patient, my king."

He said this with a pious and compassionate look on his face.

"I'm here to kill you."

Chapter 371: The Sarkaz Who Worship Originium

"An all-terrain vehicle that can accommodate the whole family!"

No longer wanting to complain about how such a large vehicle could be taken out of such a small pocket, Elki looked at the matte black heavy-duty off-road vehicle in front of him. Unlike the vehicles he had seen in other cities, the cabin of this off-road vehicle was undoubtedly more than twice as large as that of a normal off-road vehicle, and there seemed to be furniture such as tables and chairs inside... uh, this must be an RV.

Not only Elki, but Lin Guang also raised the same question.

Compared to the strange name of "all-terrain off-road vehicle that can seat a family", the off-road RV feels more suitable for this behemoth in front of us.

"But... that's the name on the manual. Huh? And the handwriting says Doctor? Ahaha, I see."

Looking at the handwriting belonging to Fang Zhou on the instruction manual, Amiya smiled awkwardly.

"Don't mind the long name. It's just an off-road RV equipped with a transformation system and artificial intelligence. The name was given by the guy who invented it to make it easier for children to understand."

To make it easier for children to understand...Is that so?

Indeed, children may really not understand what an off-road RV is, as it is a concept that is purely mixed and DIY.

Amiya put away the instruction manual. She had read it thoroughly before taking out this prop. She was already familiar with how to operate the car and what functions it had.

However, Amiya was still a little surprised by the transformation system that was similar to the transportation shoes.

Can even such a large vehicle achieve that? What the Doctor has pulled out is truly beyond the limits of what this land can achieve in this era.

"Forget about the name of this tool, everyone, brake quickly."

As she spoke, Amiya opened the door of the cab under the dazed gaze of Ermengarde and Elki.

"Wait a minute Amiya!"

"Ok?"

Amiya, who had spoken the voice of Keobe, leaned out of the driver's seat and looked down at Ermengarde and Elke.

"What's wrong?"

"That's right, Amiya, do you have a driver's license?"

Although they were referring to driving in the wilderness, and Amiya had used the transportation shoes well before, Ermengarde felt it was better to ask for the safety of everyone in the car.

But if you think about it, Amiya is only fourteen years old now. It's impossible for her to have a driver's license. Which country would be so crazy as to issue a driver's license to a fourteen-year-old? Well, it seems that there is such a thing, right? Colombia, right?

"Ah, you're talking about this. Don't worry, I'm not the one driving it."

Amiya said as she moved back and forth on the car's center console, activating the in-car artificial intelligence.

"Hello, this all-terrain vehicle can accommodate your entire family. The AI, Buggy, is at your service!"

Ahahaha, don’t emphasize this name again.

"Set target location: Holy City of Lateran. Current location: Border wilderness of the Heidenschweir region of Leithnia. Estimated driving distance: Approximately 7350 kilometers. Estimated driving time: 66-68 hours of non-stop driving, actual driving time 72-74 hours. Considering road conditions, rest breaks, and unexpected situations, it is recommended to split the drive over five days."

"Is it an artificial intelligence similar to PRTS? Is this guy really reliable?"

Ermengarde looked at the electronic screen that kept displaying data and couldn't help asking.

"Please rest assured, as the most outstanding in-vehicle AI of the 22nd century, I will do my best to provide you with safe, comfortable, and stable travel services."

Finally, with the joint guarantee from Amiya and the onboard artificial intelligence Bucky, Ermengarde naturally believed it and took Elki and others into the spacious carriage.

The interior of the car is quite spacious. Not only is there a sofa, table and chairs, but there is also a comfortable-looking bed at the rear of the car. There is even a staircase leading to the roof. According to the description in the manual, the roof can be stretched and raised to be used as a small terrace.

"This vehicle is also equipped with a powerful wireless network signal source, ensuring a smooth and comfortable internet experience for the driver and other passengers. The signal also offers ultra-wide coverage. During the currently customized route, passengers can connect to all intercity networks within Vitania, Syracuse, Victoria, and even within Lateran. If passengers also need to connect to the internet in other countries, they can ask Baji to activate overclocking mode, which will allow them to connect to the intercity networks of all mobile cities in all countries on Terra."

In fact, when Bucky mentioned the intercity network that could connect to the four surrounding countries, everyone in the car fell silent.

Although there is ultra-long-distance communication technology in the current Terra continent, the skills used in that communication technology are nothing more than sending a specific signal to connect a special interface, and then continuously sending it to a distant target through a relay method. It is obviously fundamentally different from what the in-vehicle artificial intelligence is saying today.

"It's the 22nd century, and it's only the 10th century now. This means this car is a product from 1100 years later. It's really surprising. Although I know that these props are all products of the future, spanning more than 1000 years into the future is still a bit beyond my expectations."

Flemont stroked his goatee. Although Amiya had said before that all the props given by the Ark were products from the future world, he had never expected that they would be in the future more than 1000 years later.

But it will be more than 1000 years later... If I, the old lich, can survive a little longer, it is not impossible for me to live beyond 1100 years.

Will we be able to see the real future world then?

Thinking of this, Fremont was actually a little excited. Maybe these so-called future inventions would have some influence of the old lich.

If Fang Zhou heard Fremont's idea, he could only say that it was a good idea and he could think about it more.

After all, if we really calculate the time in Doraemon's world, the technological explosion only took one or two hundred years to reach the level of being able to reverse cause and effect and manipulate the universe. However, their prerequisite was the invention of space-time technology, and only with space-time technology as the basis did they guide the world in that direction.

It can be said that space-time technology is the most critical turning point between the Doraemon world and the normal Earth world. As long as a civilization is the first to master space-time technology, its technological explosion, entering space and even transcending the Milky Way to become an interstellar civilization will only take a few hundred years at most.

After all, space-time technology can travel back to the past, and naturally it can also go into the future.

As for the current Terra continent, as long as Amiya becomes Oma Zi-O, she can naturally be regarded as having mastered the space-time technology. By then, maybe the Terra continent can reach the 22nd century, which Doraemon and the original world of the Ark can't even imagine. Maybe it will really be 1100 years or even a few hundred years away. By then, this old lich who has mastered the lich clan's temple of knowledge will definitely contribute to the future world.

Ahem, I've gone off topic. In short, the technology that Buggy possesses is far beyond the reach of the current Terra. This is true even if you include Originium skills. After all, Originium skills are magical, but they are not omnipotent.

As the vehicle started, the group got up and galloped across the wilderness again.

From time to time through the car window, you can see some wild pack animals, tumor animals, etc. migrating towards Anning Village. After all, it is a rare peaceful place nowadays. When all things come back to life in spring, it will be a paradise for them to reproduce and live.

"Amiya."

Sitting on the sofa on one side of the car, the shapeshifter looked at Amiya, who was still looking out the window at the herd of beasts that had already gone away.

"Hmm? What's up? Shapeshifter."

"…I do have one more question before I say that."

"what?"

Amiya looked at the shapeshifter who had a strange look on his face. The latter touched his chin, looked at Frémont and then at himself, and then the confusion on his face became even more serious.

"I believe I'm as knowledgeable and capable as Fletmont. Why do you address Fletmont with the honorific 'Mr.', but only call me 'Shaper'?"

"?"

A big question mark popped up in Amiya's head, while Frémont, who was sitting next to Ermengarde, was desperately trying to suppress the corners of his mouth from curling up too arrogantly under the speechless gaze of his student.

"Well... because Mr. Fremont is the scribe of the Lich King's Court, a learned scholar, and the ruler of the Sarkaz Temple of Knowledge. He is also an elder worthy of my respect."

After a series of praises, Frémont stroked his beard and looked at the shapeshifter with a smug look on his face.

If it was the previous Fremont, he would not be so proud because of the praise of a junior, but perhaps because he had died once or because he liked Amiya for some reason, when the little rabbit expressed his respect for Fremont like this, the pride in the old lich's eyes could hardly be suppressed.

"But I am also part of the Shapeshifter Court itself. I have walked this land for a long time. I believe my knowledge and experience are no less than that of the old lich. Moreover, I am also considered an elder. Doesn't that mean I don't deserve respect?"

The shapeshifter didn't understand. The conditions were similar, so why didn't Amiya seem to respect him?

"A respectable elder wouldn't enter someone else's room without their permission, especially a girl's room."

In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire car changed.

For a moment, whether it was Flemont, Ermengarde, Lin Guang, Shining, or even Rosemary, the way they looked at the shapeshifter became a little...disgusted.

Although Elki, who had just joined the team, felt embarrassed to express his opinion to the Lord of the Royal Court, the shapeshifter still caught the subtle disdain in his eyes.

It's really, really terrible.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter what happens. Before we finished eating, it seemed like you had something to tell me? Or something to ask me?"

Just after dinner, Amiya's hesitant look at him naturally did not escape the Shapeshifter's attention.

However, at that time, since Amiya chose not to ask further, and it was already lunchtime, the shapeshifter did not respond to that question. But now that he had time, he naturally wanted to ask what happened. After all...

Ahem, my position in this small group is still a bit awkward. If I want to experience more magical power of controlling the watch head in the future, it is better to improve the favorability of the little devil.

Come to think of it, the only thing I've experienced so far seems to be my own Alien Control Head... Ah! Oh, right, I don't think I've returned my Transformer Control Head yet.

But the little devil hadn't asked me for it. Did she not notice or was she waiting for me to return it? It shouldn't be that she didn't notice. After all, the control dial is such an important thing. Well, I'll give it back to her later. Since she didn't say anything, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Forget it, let’s talk about business first.

"After dinner, oh, something happened at that time."

When Amiya heard the shapeshifter bring up this matter, she became serious and sat upright on the sofa.

Seeing Amiya like this, others couldn't help but correct their attitude.

"Everyone, there's no need to be so unreasonable. I just wanted to ask the shapeshifters about Dagar, the Whiplash Lord. After all, shapeshifters have lived a long time and must know a lot. Mr. Fremont is equally knowledgeable, but he's been preoccupied with the affairs of Letania for quite some time, and he's also been at odds with the Whiplash clan..."

Frémont hummed softly when he heard this. Apart from anything else, what the little devil said was indeed reasonable. Although he had been paying attention to the development of Kazdel, he was in Leithania after all. The number of times he went back to Kazdel in the past two hundred years was not as many as the number of times he gave Ermengarde full marks on the test. However, as for Dagar... although he did not know much, he could also say that he knew nothing.

"Is that the case? Indeed, knowing both yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle. However, I've already said almost everything I can about Dagar. He has a very narrow ability, or rather, a very clear vision of his own development. From what I understand, Dagar has always been studying the foundation of his race, namely the racial abilities of the Whiplash."

Does that mean he specializes in psychic Originium skills or witchcraft?

Amiya knew this. After all, according to Miss Elki's prophecy, she lost to Dagar precisely because of her spiritual strength.

"Daggar is truly an expert in this area. Most Whiplashes influence people's consciousness through psychological suggestion. For example, the girl in the Human Resources Department on Rhodes Island, while a bit stronger than the average Whiplash, also starts with psychological suggestion and then uses that to perform subsequent mental manipulations. It's not that this approach is superior, it's just that its efficiency is generally low."

Flemont took over the conversation, and the shapeshifter looked at the old lich and said nothing, but just took over the rest of the conversation and continued speaking.

"And Dajjal is far superior to these Whiplash demons. Psychological suggestion has long been redundant for him. Rumor has it that Dajjal can directly interfere with people's minds, even to the point where they are impossible to defend against."

"And the most legendary thing is that Dagar didn't learn any other witchcraft besides his psychic abilities. He only put a little effort into fighting. Besides psychic spells, the only spells he knew were probably simple spells like spell bullets and their extended spell shield."

Someone who specializes solely in psychic abilities, even neglecting other magical abilities? From that perspective, as long as he can defend against the opponent's initial psychic attack and then crush them with firepower, it seems that everything will work... No, it can't be that simple. Dagar has roamed the earth for so many years, and his opponents must have tried such a simple thing, but he still managed to survive. This means that this speculation is either invalid or...

No one can do it.

Neither seems to be a good conclusion.

Amiya had a headache.

"But the Dajjal actually has another peculiarity."

At this time, the shapeshifter suddenly remembered something and said with a strange look on his face.

"what?"

Amiya asked subconsciously, and Flemont looked a little gloomy as if he knew what the shapeshifter wanted to say.

"Daggar is one of the few Originium worshippers in this land."

"Originium... worshiper?"

Amiya's expression froze, and she couldn't help but feel a little unfamiliar with this word.

"Yes, Originium worshippers, as the name suggests, are followers of a shamanic sect that is nearly extinct in modern times and originated in ancient times. They worship Originium as a deity."

A hint of sarcasm flashed in the Transformer's eyes. As someone who had experienced the initial Originium explosion, in his eyes, this kind of Originium worship was simply stupid to the extreme, and it was also a behavior that would never be recognized by those around him. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, Originium was something that people kept away from. Except for those industries and individuals involved in Originium energy and research, their attitude towards Originium might be more relaxed, but the first reaction of other ordinary people when they saw Originium was to stay away from it.

But even those who work in the Originium industry would never say that they worship Originium. This kind of belief is completely irrational and outrageous, no matter in ancient or modern times. It is completely incomprehensible why it came into being.

The shapeshifter thought that even those who believed in sea monsters were called something... the Deep Sea Church? I think that's what it was called.

Even those deep-sea churches are more reliable than this so-called Originium belief.

While the Shapeshifter was still mocking the so-called Originium belief in his heart, Amiya was still immersed in the Shapeshifter's explanation of the Originium worshippers and could not come back to her senses.

"Worship... Originium..."

"Yes, and he's also an Originium worshipper among the Sarkaz. So even within the Heart-Peeping Court, Dagar isn't that popular. But even so, he still relied on his own abilities to become the ruler of the Heart-Peeping Court, becoming the Heart-Whispering Lord."

Chapter 372: Encountering Sakota

Even though he was unwelcome within the Heart-Peering Court, Dagar still became the Lord of the Heart-Peering Court and the ruler of the Heart-Peering Court.

Why? Of course it’s strength.

Even other mind-twisting demons cannot resist Dagar's ability to manipulate minds. With his powerful strength, Dagar successfully turned the Mind-Seeing Court into his own one-man show, and those who once opposed him became puppets in Dagar's hands.

Because of this horrific ruling method, the size of the Heart-Peeping Court shrank a lot after that. A large number of Whiplashes fled, causing the Heart-Peeping Court's status among the ten royal courts to plummet. But Dagar didn't care. He just kept traveling around the Terra continent.

That's right, after becoming the Lord of the Whiplash, Dagar has been traveling around the continent almost all the time, except for returning to Kazdel or the Royal Court every three or four years. No one knows what he wants to do, whether he wants to spread his weird and unorthodox beliefs, or use his powerful mental power to do something shocking enough to shock the continent. In short, for a long time, he has been a lone ranger.

"Until a year ago."

"A year ago? Ah! That's not..."

The shapeshifter looked at Amiya without any wavering eyes, and was not surprised by the surprise in the latter's tone.

"Yes, it was around the time Theresa died."
