One minute passed, then two minutes passed... As if feeling something was strange, Heidou slowly raised his head and looked at Jessica who had not responded.

“…Discouraged?”

"what?"

"...You lost to me in the first two moves. Are you discouraged?"

Jessica’s cold voice came slowly, but the question she asked was so direct that Hei didn’t know what to say.

"I..." Hei's tone was a little hesitant, and she seemed not to know how to answer.

"--Snapped!"

However, what no one expected was that there was a sudden gust of wind, followed by a crisp sound.

Hei covered his burning left cheek, his pupils were slightly dazed. After a long while, he touched his left cheek and looked in disbelief at the woman in front of him who had just slapped her.

Everyone was stunned. No one knew why Jessica, who was usually calm and indifferent, would suddenly do this. She was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to provoke others.

But now, she still does it.

“I asked you if you were discouraged?” However, Jessica’s voice was still so calm, but this time, her tone was a little heavier.

"--No!"

However, this time, Hei, who had reacted, answered quickly. She stared at Jessica in front of her and said word by word:

"I have never been discouraged by myself! Never before! And never in the future!"

To be honest, Hei was indeed surprised by Jessica's strength which was even stronger than hers. She was shocked, reflected, and even had lingering fears, but she had never been disappointed in herself.

Why did she endure this shame and come to Jessica to become her apprentice? If she was really disappointed in herself, she would definitely find Jessica and try her best to persuade her to serve as Ceylon's guard, even at all costs.

But Hei didn't do so, not only because she did not doubt her own strength and her career over the years, but more importantly, she wanted to protect Ceylon with her own hands!

That's why she wants to become stronger!

“——That’s good.”

Jessica looked at her once best rival in front of her and saw that she seemed to have regained her spirits. It was finally something she hadn't seen in a long time. She could hear a hint of relief in her tone.

"I won't accept you, not because you are not capable enough, but because your character is not good enough."

"You are not weaker than me. Even if you add in the years before my 'death', my combat experience is only a dozen years."

"And you are a mercenary trained since childhood, with twenty years of experience. As long as you find a training method that suits you, I believe that you are not inferior to me."

"It just depends on your own efforts."

Jessica said this, and silently put away the firearm in her hand, put it behind her back, and then said to the black in front of her:

"I look forward to the day when you and I compete on the same stage."

"But, let me make it clear in advance that even if you do gain the upper hand, it's best not to let your guard down."

"——But I can always surpass you."

Jessica said so, and then her agile figure turned into a black afterimage and flashed by. In an instant, many people lost Jessica's sight.

Only Hei glanced in the direction where Jessica left at the first moment. She looked at Jessica's departing figure, which caught a trace of Black, and subconsciously clenched her fists.

"——If you stand at a higher place than me, then I will climb to a higher mountain than you!"

"must."

"Miss No. 2..."

However, on the other side, Jessica saw Jessica's figure at almost the same speed as Hei, but she was still a little bit slower, and Hei could still catch a residual image. When she looked over, Jessica's figure had disappeared without a trace.

Maomaotou's expression was a little dazed. She subconsciously looked at her hands, as if questioning something, but soon she clenched her fists with all her strength.

She also needs to become stronger!

Chapter 45: Casimir's Journey, Knight Tournament

For Chen Qi and his group, the trip to Xiosta was probably an action taken under the pretext of vacation. Although in total they didn't have many days of rest during the seven-day vacation, experiencing the local culture and customs was already considered a vacation for those of them who usually had to stay in Rhodes Island.

Hei and Ceylon have joined Rhodes Island for about a week. During this time, Ceylon quickly integrated into Rhodes Island's Originium disease research with his degree from Victoria and related knowledge.

However, although Ceylon is very capable, Kal'tsit still needs to conduct a period of assessment on Ceylon. Therefore, many of Ceylon's current topics are some branches of Rhodes Island's current research on Originium disease.

Kal'tsit planned to transfer Ceylon to the most important job - the improvement of Originium disease potion - after she completely trusted her.

Of course, this will take some time, but Chen Qi feels that this period of time should not be too long.

As for Hei, she has been competing with Jessica and consulting with Dr. Kal'tsit during this period, conducting her "rehabilitation training" in an attempt to restore her sharpness and vigilance as a killer to her peak.

Kal'tsit also specially upgraded the simulation training ground provided for elite operators like Hei. Kal'tsit kept crying out in pain during the upgrade process, but she eventually upgraded the elite simulation training ground to a higher level.

"Upgrading this thing costs more money than building a time-travel device!" - Klushier roared with tears in her eyes.

However, the upgraded elite simulation training ground has indeed brought a lot of convenience to Rhodes Island. It is a training ground specially designed for elite operators with different specialties and can be deployed at will. It can not only be used to restore the skills of elite operators who have not trained for a long time, but also take this opportunity to make up for some of the shortcomings of elite operators.

The operators that Chen Qi brought from the future are all elites among the elites. Normally, there may not be many elite operators in Rhodes Island, but now, a training ground specially provided for elite operators is very necessary.

Chen Qi himself also liked this simulation field very much. Although he had similar things in his Rhodes Island, this was a new thing for him and something he hadn't thought about for a long time. After all, on his Rhodes Island, the number of elite operators was not so large that a special training field was needed. At their level, daily training and sparring were daily training. Chen Qi also experimented in this simulation training. He chose a sniper operator simulation battle that he was not very good at...

Anyway, when he came out, he looked dusty and dirty, which showed that the requirements of this simulated battle were indeed very high.

However, Chen Qi did not participate in the mock battle that day. Today, he went to visit two people whom he should have visited a long time ago.

...In a place in Rhodes Island, there is an area where an operator named Perfumer grows flowers. Here, a blonde girl in a white dress stands there, gently holding her staff in her hand, admiring the beautiful scenery that can bring her a moment of tranquility.

However, standing next to the girl was a person who was almost the opposite of her. The woman was wearing a tattered yet extremely tightly wrapped black robe, holding an ancient long sword in her hand. She said nothing, but just stood quietly next to the blonde girl.

"Ms. Shining, Miss Nightingale."

"…Greetings, son of revelation from the future."

The young man's voice coming from behind made the two girls turn around at the same time. After seeing who it was, Shining was stunned for a moment, and then a voice as gentle as a spring breeze came slowly.

"You are usually very busy, and it is rare to see you anywhere other than the laboratory, training ground, and conference room."

"If you need our help, please ask and I will do my best."

"…Not yet, I just came to take a look."

Chen Qi smiled and shook his head. Although he had no interaction with The Shining before, The Shining's voice that was as refreshing as spring breeze and the Madonna-like feelings made him feel very comfortable.

The word "Mother God" may sound a little strange when used to describe the Sarkaz, but for Shining, there is no word more suitable for her than this.

"Since the Originium disease potion was developed, I have allocated some to several seriously ill operators. I also need to observe Ms. Nightingale's condition."

As he said this, Chen Qi looked at Nightingale who was smiling at him for a few more times, and when he saw her seemingly weak legs standing with the help of the staff, he couldn't help but smile.

"In this case, I feel much more relieved."

"Rhodes Island has taken us in, which is a great favor to us. Now, Liz's condition is under control... This is something I never dared to think about before."

"The son of revelation from the future... Shining will never forget this great kindness."

“I just did what I was supposed to do.”

Chen Qi shook his head and did not accept Shining's gratitude. Whether it was the Originium disease potion or the special healing potion for Nightingale's condition, it was not the credit of him alone, but the result of the joint efforts of the entire Rhodes Island.

Nightingale's condition is very complicated. She suffers from amnesia, neurological deficiency, endocrine disorders, etc. caused by the damage caused by drugs. In fact, most of them are not caused by Originium disease, but by some previous experiences.

This kind of situation has increased since Rhodes Island accepted many patients from Columbia and Kazdel. Chen Qi has also read a lot of relevant information in the records of Rhodes Island, and finally came to the conclusion that:

——Situations like Nightingale’s are not accidental. Perhaps, there are many other cases like her who have suffered such devastation, some dead and some alive.

In a sense, Nightingale was lucky, as she was able to escape from that hell on earth alive. But unfortunately, as the only one who escaped, Nightingale did not live to see the development of the medicine for her case.

"The thing I regret most in my life is that I didn't give this potion to Miss Nightingale earlier."

——At that time, Chen Qi was talking to a medical operator from Rhodes Island codenamed YP, and the other party cried to him like this.

YP was the first Rhodes Island operator to conduct a comprehensive investigation into Miss Nightingale's condition. He was also the only operator in Rhodes Island at the time who still had a relatively complete understanding of Operator Nightingale.

Everything else was in the archives of Rhodes Island, but even so, Chen Qi kept it in mind. Now, Nightingale's condition was finally under control to a certain extent, her body functions were slowly recovering, and the Originium disease was beginning to ease.

Although I can't get rid of the word "sickly" for the time being, if I can recover to the physical condition similar to that of an ordinary girl... it should only be a matter of time.

Chen Qi conveyed this message to the future Rhodes Island through the communication system. He believed that the YP there would be very pleased after hearing this news.

"…In my dreams, I would recall many things from the past, many things that happened in that place."

"I am afraid and in pain... but now I can face it."

Although Nightingale's movements were still a little reluctant, she could now walk normally. She calmly recounted what she had been experiencing during the past few days of taking the medicine. The past in nightmares, the slowly recovering functions, and... the people who had always been by her side.

"Lin Guang and Shining helped me a lot. Everyone from Rhodes Island also helped me a lot."

"I have nothing to repay you, Mr. Chen Qi from the future. I only ask you to squander my power to my heart's content so that I can do my part for the future you want to see."

"...Most people on Terra hate Sarkaz, thinking they are the source of the Originium disease that befell the earth. Who would have thought that I have seen Sarkaz who are more noble than angels."

Chen Qi was convinced by the Shining and Nightingale's desire to save the world. After experiencing immense pain, they were able to remain true to their original intentions and maintain their kind nature. Chen Qi admired and respected them very much.

"...But, Son of Revelation, I thought you would be very busy. You didn't go on this operation?" "Operation?"

However, Shining's words made Chen Qi slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but ask back: "What action? How come I don't know?"

"…It seems that Dr. Kal'tsit forgot to inform you."

Shining was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said to Chen Qi:

"I heard it from Lin Guang. She went to Casimir with the Doctor and several operators the day before."

"It seems that something about the honor of knights has begun to be held there."

"Casimir..." Chen Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but start thinking about Casimir. In his time, the place had already turned into ruins, and the memory was indeed a bit distant.

However, in that country where merchants have taken control and where the nobility and dynasty are in name only, if there is anything that can be related to knights,

"——Knight Tournament?"

Chen Qi couldn't help but ask speculatively.

"It seems to be called this." Shining nodded, and then continued:

"I wanted to go with Lin Guang, but Lin Guang was worried about Liz's current physical condition and refused."

"Son of Revelation, do you know about the Knights' Tournament?"

"Ah, I know. After all, it was a local feature back then." Chen Qi felt a headache after hearing this, and then muttered to himself:

"I hope I know it's not too late. I need to go to the lab."

"Ms. Shining, please submit an application report to Dr. Kal'tsit. We should probably set off."

"——A lady asked me to help her complete this task."

Um... a trillion...

Chapter 46: To Casimir, the Mysterious Female Knight

"...Casimir? Is there anything we need to pay attention to there as well?"

However, half an hour later, looking at the application report submitted by Shining himself, Kal'tsit, who was originally handling daily affairs, frowned slightly and said:

"I just heard from Lin Guang that we were going there to look for relatives and try to recruit some talents, so I asked the doctor to go with us."
