Arknights' Lock of Heaven

But can he really do it?

Seeing Eyjafjalla's expression, Skyfire knew that she must know something.

However, Tianhuo wasn't upset at all. What did he mean by "Why do you know while I was kept in the dark"?

These emotions don't exist. It's not just a matter of her character; Eyjafjalla's doctoral degrees alone are enough to convince Skyfire.

You have to admit it, they have real talent and skills.

“Alright then, I’ll call that consultant right away,” Skyfire nodded.

There was no other reason why she didn't invite Xia Yu; it was simply because this girl... well, she was very understanding.

Although she didn't participate much herself, Xia Yu was definitely one of the busiest people on Rhodes Island since leaving the Grand Knights' territory.

That's the Medical Engineering Department II working non-stop...

Tianhuo and Provence took all this into account. On one hand, they thought it was just an ordinary tourist city, and going out to investigate wasn't like a solo raid, so what major incident could possibly happen?

So it's better to let Xia Yu get some rest; the intention is good.

The conclusion is also correct; in the original storyline, the volcano was dealt with by her, Provence, and a Ceylon lady.

But it's different in Amiya's eyes. For Mr. Xia Yu to come out... there must be something special about it.

Before I came, Mr. Xia Yu had told me that there was a big guy here.

Yeah, big guy.

Upon hearing this, Amiya couldn't help but recall the scene she had seen in Xia Yu's memories.

Tiamat.

This is indeed big.

Although Mr. Xia Yu's nonchalant demeanor suggested that the so-called "big guy" wasn't as exaggerated as it seemed, it was still best to have him come along just to be on the safe side.

Xia Yu himself was unaware that his casual remark about everyone would be misunderstood by Amiya in this way.

What merit did Pompeii possess to deserve this...?

The broadcast continued.

"Speaking of which, Siesta also has something very special—obsidian."

"Obsidian is believed to have the effect of suppressing orthostatic diseases, so it has become very popular in recent years."

Amiya frowned upon hearing this.

"Yes, the low number of Oripathy infected people in Siesta City is the best example."

"That's all nonsense," the doctor rolled his eyes. "It's a tourist city that doesn't focus on industry, and the people don't come into contact with much Originium on a regular basis. It's not even a mobile city, so naturally there are fewer infected people."

Unfortunately, her complaints won't be heard by the people behind the radio.

"Yes, the low number of Oripathy infected people in Siesta City is the best example."

Kronin was still talking glibly on the other end of the radio.

"However, we still allow the trading of obsidian, so if you are interested in obsidian products, you can pay more attention to the market."

“Throughout the Obsidian Festival, we will set up small shops with souvenirs and shopping guides in various locations, where everyone can freely choose what they want.”

“I’ve never heard of obsidian suppressing Oripathy before,” Amiya said, frowning. “And this Cataclysmic Messenger’s tone when he talks about science is really unpleasant…”

"Even in such a remote place, there are still so many people who don't know much about Originium and natural disasters."

“Ignorance is a pitiful thing,” Tianhuo sighed and said, “Alright, let’s ignore these politicians’ marketing tactics and go to the volcano to find out what’s going on.”

"Don't worry, Amiya, I'll go find the advisor."

Just as they were searching for Xia Yu and planning to head to the volcano, a richly dressed young lady also embarked on her own adventure.

283 Miss Skyfire

“Mr. Consultant,” Tianhuo sighed, looking at the overgrown environment around him.

"Can't I really burn this place down completely?"

“Yes,” Xia Yu smiled slightly upon hearing this, and said, “You really, really, really can’t burn this place down.”

“These meaningless branches and grasses are really getting in the way.”

Upon hearing this, Tianhuo let out a mournful howl.

“This is the tenth time you’ve complained in an hour, Miss Skyfire.”

Hearing this, Provence sighed.

"Perhaps you should change into something lighter this time?"

"Alright, alright, I know," Tianhuo waved his hand weakly.

"This volcano is so close to the city... I thought the infrastructure was pretty good..."

Tianhuo wailed, "I never expected there wouldn't be any development at all!"

“It’s not that it’s undeveloped,” Xia Yu shrugged upon hearing this. “There is development, it’s just that we can’t go there.”

“The obsidian mines that were once located in this city still exist,” Provence said casually. “However, we acted on our own initiative and did not communicate with the Siesta City Hall, so naturally we couldn’t get in.”

"After all, the mine has been closed to prevent over-exploitation from impacting the environment."

"If you really can't stand the ecological environment here, you don't have to force yourself to endure it."

"Everyone should be playing at the beach right now. You can just go back and meet up with them. You don't need to come with me and suffer like this."

"I will take the data back with the consultant."

“No, I don’t trust you to act so recklessly,” Tianhuo puffed out his chest upon hearing this. “Although we have a messenger of natural disasters like you, only with my knowledge can I guarantee that you won’t encounter any unexpected situations in the fiery environment.”

Upon hearing this, Provence looked silently at Eyjafjalla beside him.

"Okay, maybe I'm not the most professional either," Skyfire softened when he saw this, after all, he couldn't compare to Eyjafjalla in terms of knowledge or ability.

They actually hold several doctoral degrees.

"But more people means more strength."

"Although I know you can handle that kind of situation... we're just here on vacation this time, so it's better not to cause any trouble."

Provence sighed, "Otherwise, we'll be causing trouble for the doctor and the others again."

As she said, Rhodes Island came to Siesta under the guise of a vacation.

If they cause any trouble, the Doctor and Amiya will ultimately have to clean up the mess.

As for Miss Skyfire beside her, it's not that she's bound to cause trouble, but if she were to use her Originium Arts in the forest, especially in the height of summer, the consequences would be...

Provence didn't dare to think too much about it.

Of course, Tianhuo knew her limits. She only complained a few times along the way, and she was even more proactive than Provence when she moved forward.

After all, she was still young and didn't have much experience in this kind of field trip, so she was also quite excited.

The consequence of charging ahead without any strategy was that her chaotic advance caused her immense suffering.

In contrast, the more experienced Provence had an easier time.

"Never mind, I'll go first," Xia Yu said, walking to the front of the line.

"Mr. Consultant, I'm fine, you don't need to..."

Before Tianhuo could finish speaking, he stared intently at Xia Yu's side.

Wherever he walked, all the plants moved swiftly to the sides without any wind.

really!

Upon seeing this, Eyjafjalla, who had been silent all along, excitedly hugged her staff, her eyes fixed on Xia Yu, trying to find traces of his spellcasting.

Unsurprisingly, nothing was gained.

But this only excited Eyjafjalla even more.

"It's really... incredible..."

Provence exclaimed.

Compared to researchers like Tianhuo, she had more exposure to rumors about Xia Yu.

Having prepared myself mentally, I wasn't so surprised.

The most shocking thing was the skyfire.

"You...this...this..."

She jumped up on the spot and stammered, "You...how did you cast the spell?"

"Gestures? Actions? Where's your staff?"

She knew perfectly well that Xia Yu was not infected.

"What...what is this?"
