The doctor suffers from amnesia, but not complete amnesia.

At this point, the man shrugged helplessly.

"She said she was an orphan and from the beginning, all she wanted was to survive. If someone was stronger than her, she would worry about being killed..."

New plot discussion

Regarding backstabbing, as long as Arknights continues to produce story content, those who write fan fiction will inevitably be backstabbed—because personal understanding naturally differs from that of a writing team whose tone was established several years ago.

Compared to my own character setting, Precys's status and powers are actually quite similar: she's a cybernetic ghost, a landmine user, and controls Originium.

I also have patches to add to the Doctor's combat power. Originally, Qiao Yelan was just pretending to be in a wheelchair and was wearing a combat suit designed by PRTS (Chapter 66).

In fact, what bothers me the most is that this time, Hypergryph suddenly raised the world view to an absurd level.

It feels like... I was playing Europa Universalis on Terra when Prismus suddenly called and told me the Aether Engine was finished...

What can I do? Just go for it.

Regarding the plot, I wonder if anyone thought of anything when they saw the scene where Precys gave the Doctor hallucinations.

If you didn't skip chapter subscriptions while reading this book, you might want to think about this—Qiao Yelan actually already did that.

The battle in which Ace died has been fundamentally erased. Black Snake probably knows Ace best, besides Qiao Yelan.

Outcast will never face off against Deeppool in the future, because the two Tara Red Dragons have already been written into the play given to the Unicorn by the Doctor.

Baird and King Push haven't appeared yet, but Aldebaran is already a steam knight and a grand duke supported by an entire knightly order.

Talulah's future was set in Chapter 174. I personally like the character of [Fighter Talulah], which is why I made this plot design. She will lead the Reunion Movement as a fighter of Ursus, rather than a puppet of Black Serpent.

As for Frostnova—please, Patriots are all Qiao Yelan's subordinates. Is it so difficult to ask Babel for some Originium Suppressants? They've been treated since childhood, how could it have gotten to such a serious stage?

To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this scene, because this is exactly the kind of visible future that I wanted to create. Hypergryph has made it a tangible reality for me. For a fanfiction author, this is a rare and wonderful opportunity.

Chapter 180 Blood Pack for the Vengeful Seed

"Then we'll have to trouble Captain Jacob to put in a little more effort."

Qiao Yelan didn't pay much attention to the person the other party mentioned—after all, genius was just an admission ticket to Qiao Yelan. Without this admission ticket, he would just be a part of a huge number in Qiao Yelan's plan.

As for whether or not one is qualified to become Qiao Yelan's pawn...

That depends on her own efforts.

"We apologize for the inconvenience during this period. You will be confined to the Babel Tower area for the time being. However, this restriction will be lifted once the tournament officially begins. Also, if you have any suggestions regarding the combat armor and weapons provided, please feel free to voice them. Babel Tower will do its best to meet your needs."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you. We'll do our evaluation and write a report to submit."

Jacob was also somewhat excited, after all, Commander Charles had talked to him about this before they came – he asked Jacob and his men to take advantage of the fact that a big dog owner had booked the venue and quickly find a set of weapons that would allow the steam knights to maximize their combat power without armor.

Even in times of peace, Charles couldn't guarantee how long Qiao Yelan could truly ensure their logistical support. Moreover, he didn't want his subordinates, including Miss Adele, to have to fawn over Qiao Yelan in the future.

"Also, when you're talking to non-trainees, try to speak less. Your Lehian accent is a bit too strong. During training, try to talk more with the Lehian people. I've arranged trustworthy people here at the training ground, so you can practice your spoken English along the way."

"clear."

Qiao Yelan nodded, indicating that Jacob and the others should first follow the Babel Tower agents to familiarize themselves with the layout of the park.

Kasena did not speak again until the steam knights left.

Are you going to cover up their true identities?

"Of course, once the identities of the Steam Knights are exposed, everyone, whether it's Kazimierz or Victoria, will be in an awkward situation—and most importantly, it will cost me less money."

"It's just a sum of money?"

Qiao Yelan shrugged.

"Otherwise, the Knights of the Arena didn't say they had to use local knights from Kazimierz. They just bought some foreign aid to set a good example for everyone, so that everyone could go to other regions to buy some Letanian foreign aid and increase Ivignad and the others' foreign exchange reserves—Letanian marks aren't worth much right now."

Kashina always felt that Qiao Yelan had other plans, but she couldn't be sure of her feelings. Seeing that Qiao Yelan didn't intend to explain, she suppressed her doubts.

"What do you plan to name your knightly order? The Knights of Babel?"

"There's no need to be so direct. As long as the names are related, that's fine. After all, for the sake of 'sharing the fun with the people,' everyone is just a 'sponsor' of their respective knightly orders. They'll just lend their names to each other. As long as the business association can distinguish who belongs to whom, that's fine."

Qiao Yelan waved his hand.

"We can't call it the Knights of Babel, but we need to be related to the Tower of Babel—how about the Knights Hospitaller?"

Black Snake seems to take naming quite seriously.

However, given her personality of naming each of her avatars... perhaps this person has some surprisingly ordinary hobbies.

"The Hospitallers...that's an interesting suggestion, but it doesn't seem fancy enough—how about calling it the Rhodes Island Knights? It's the same thing anyway."

Kasya felt a question mark appear above her head.

Why are the Hospitallers and the Knights of Rhodes Island the same thing?

However, as for the Knights of Rhodes Island...

"It sounds pretty good."

"I think so too."

-------------------------------------------------- ------

Ring ring ring ring—

Kashina looked up and was surprised to find that the sound was coming from the old-fashioned telephone on Qiao Yelan's desk.

She always thought it was just a decoration—after all, who would use such an old-fashioned thing to make connections these days?

Black Snake hesitated for a moment, then walked over and answered the phone.

"This is the Tower of Babel."

There was no sound from the other side, but the breathing suddenly stopped.

"......Who are you?"

"I am Dr. Qiao Yelan's... secretary."

"His secretary? He told you to stay in the office?"

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Kasena asked, somewhat displeased.

Are you trying to sow discord between me and Qiao Yelan?

"...No problem. When will Dr. Qiao Yelan return?"

"He...is back."

Qiao Yelan pushed open the bathroom door and saw the receiver Kashena was holding, already knowing who was calling.

"give it to me."

He walked behind the desk, took the receiver, and sat in his wheelchair.

"You're calling me at this time...it seems you've already made a decision."

Qiao Yelan said casually, and seeing Kashina point to the door, he waved his hand, indicating that Black Snake didn't need to worry and could sit here and listen.

Kashiena sat down happily, pricking up her ears to listen to the conversation between Qiao Yelan and that person.

"Yes, Doctor, over the years I've seen through the Business Federation—you're right, the stupidity of these guys always surprises me, they always think they can control everything in this world with money."

The other person's words were clearly sarcastic.

“They’re becoming increasingly ruthless. The kill lists they’ve sent me are full of innocent people, competitors, and even knights of war—they’re treating the Unarmored Alliance as a killer organization, not a protector.”

“I’ve had enough of their making enemies everywhere. If this continues, the Unarmored Alliance will inevitably clash with the military because of their recklessness—they don’t know the fighting power of the Silver Spear Pegasus, but I do… I can only say, ignorance is bliss.”

"Have you made your choice?"

Qiao Yelan asked calmly.

“Yes, I can’t continue like this. If I do, I’m doomed. The reason the Unarmored Alliance was founded was because we wanted to survive from the demanding knight lords, so I was willing to work for the Commercial Federation. But if this job leads to my death, I will not continue.”

"Since that's the case, I think you must already have a plan. You wouldn't call me just to tell me about your thought process, would you?"

"Of course not—I wanted to ask when the plan for Babel to withdraw from Kazimierz will begin?"

"last year."

what?

Even through the phone receiver, Kashina could hear the bewilderment on the other end—just as bewildered she was now.

Didn't you spend a lot of money to hire the Steam Knights? Wasn't the goal to get into the top three in this Knights Tournament so that you could promote Babel Tower's expansion in Kazimierz over the next three years?

Why are you leaving Kazimierz?

So this is also part of the plan, right?

"...Approximately how long?"

"It won't be long, at most a few years, before I can make Babel Tower retire perfectly and extricate itself from this quagmire of Kazimierz. Of course, before I leave, I will leave that Grand Knight Commander with enough leverage to tear the Commercial Federation apart."

Qiao Yelan said casually.

On the other side, Xuan Tie, holding the microphone, remained silent.
