Arknights' Lock of Heaven

After saying that, he turned around and glared fiercely at Xia Yu where Big Bear couldn't see him.

What kind of trouble are you causing now?!

Xia Yu returned the look.

Don't worry, everything is going according to plan!

“I’m afraid Frostnova will be in the same situation,” he said, turning to look at the worried bear. “After all, you saw it before, she entrusted everything to Amiya and died in my arms with a smile on her face.”

"Think carefully, who could be so intimate as to awaken her?"

"It doesn't have to be romantic love; it can be familial love, friendship, or even hatred."

"Anything that can wake her up is fine."

"Big Daddy! It can only be Big Daddy!!!"

Big Bear roared, "Although it seems like they don't have a good relationship, we all know that no father and daughter have a bond as strong as theirs!"

“Patriots,” Xia Yu shook her head regretfully, “that makes things difficult…”

"After all, we are still in the opposing camp with the Reunion Movement, and we may even have to fight each other in the future."

"This is really difficult."

"Patriot?" Upon hearing this name, Warfarin instantly understood what Xia Yu was plotting.

Patriots' name is legendary among the Sarkaz.

During the War of the Two Kings, both sides considered whoever could first win over Borzokas, who had defected from Ursus, to their side as a bargaining chip for victory.

Unfortunately, Bozokasti, who had plunged headlong into the boundless snowfields of Ursus, paid no attention to them.

No one in this world can deny Bozokasti's bravery.

Then Xia Yu's purpose in staging this whole thing became clear.

Unfortunately, Warfarin didn't think highly of him.

If that stubborn old man were so easily persuaded, he wouldn't have given up his luxurious life in the upper echelons of Ursus to go to the cruel snowfields.

"hostility……"

After hearing Xia Yu's words, Da Xiong fell silent.

His hands are still tied.

He was just a prisoner.

“So,” the bear pursed his lips, “that rabbit, that little girl named Amiya…”

"She was the only one who wouldn't abandon her eldest sister; I saw it clearly from the side at the time."

"If I could see her, I should be able to persuade her to let me go back and talk to my uncle."

"After all, Rhodes Island doesn't want to face an opponent like Big Daddy."

“Alright, you’ve seen Froststar’s situation,” Xia Yu clapped her hands. “This isn’t something that can be resolved in a short time. You’re still a prisoner, and we can’t leave you here forever.”

Big Bear was taken away by several Rhodes Island operators.

Xia Yu knew without even having to guess what he was thinking.

Now I have to deal with another problem.

He turned around, and sure enough, Warfarin had already put on a stern face.

"While it is your prerogative to use Originium Arts in this way, you are now an employee of Rhodes Island. Please consider Rhodes Island's position before you act."

"There's nothing I can do," Xia Yu said innocently, spreading her hands. "Amiya is looking at me with such high hopes, I can't let her down."

"So that so-called everlasting flower was also arranged by Amiya in advance?" Warfarin wasn't buying it at all. "If it wasn't premeditated, would the key prop have ended up on her by itself?"

"I didn't think much about it at the time," Xia Yu innocently defended herself, "I just thought this person was pleasing to the eye."

"So you're saying you were just lustful?" Warfarin gave her a disdainful look. "Could you please disinfect yourself before entering my office next time?"

"Fine, I did plan this all along," Xia Yu finally succumbed to the Blood Demon Miss, who seemed to have lived for who knows how long. She didn't mention that the flower she had given to Patriot was originally intended for him, but was simply given to him by him.

"The reason is that I find her pleasing to the eye. Unlike those incited rioters, she is someone who truly wants to work for the future of those infected."

"Such a person should not die in someone else's conspiracy."

"Patriots, please follow."

“I know the general situation at the front, but,” Warfarin didn’t press the issue further, but instead acknowledged the reason, “it’s impossible for you to win over Bozocasti.”

"This legendary warrior will not abandon the infected for any reason."

“I didn’t want him to give up,” Xia Yu said nonchalantly. “He just needs to stand by and do nothing at crucial moments.”

"Lungmen may be able to declare the Reunion Movement incident over, but Rhodes Island cannot simply ignore Chernobog."

"Someday, we'll have to settle things once and for all, maybe tomorrow or the day after, who knows?"

"And even if Rhodes Island defeats Talulah, someone still needs to take care of those infected in Chernobog and help them survive, right?"

"Bozokasti is pretty good. Besides, why not give it a try? It won't hurt, and what if it works?"

"..."

Warfarin could not refute Xia Yu.

Everything he did was in the best interests of Rhodes Island.

"So why hasn't she woken up yet?" she could only change the subject, "What did you do?"

“Nothing at all,” Xia Yu shook her head. “Maybe, like you said, she’s just too tired and needs to rest.”

"To actually save someone under those circumstances and even regress Oripathy to the early stages of infection..." Warfarin flipped through Froststar's medical report. "It seems I underestimated your abilities."

To transform bodies that had been corrupted by Originium and crystallized back into flesh and blood... This is an ability akin to a miracle...

"I wouldn't be surprised if you told me you could actually cure her Oripathy."

“Yes, it is possible,” Xia Yu shrugged. “It is possible to cure Oripathy.”

Are you kidding me? Is the claim that the Holy Grail is an all-powerful wish-granting machine just a myth?

"But a warrior like her, even if Oripathy is cured, will pick up Originium again and plunge it into her own body to return to her brothers and sisters."

"Should I praise you for not doing something even more outrageous?" Warfarin retorted.

"Alright, alright, you should go now. Don't disturb the patient's rest," she waved her hand, shooing him away. "Aren't you Amiya's bodyguard? Hurry up and go. If anything happens to Amiya, Kal'tsit will tear you apart."

"Then I'll leave Froststar in your care," Xia Yu waved her hand and left the infirmary.

"..."

"This is really... discouraging..." Warfarin sat in the chair, looking at the medical report in her hand.

"Such an all-powerful ability... it makes one question the meaning of life..."

"Can it really cure Oripathy...? How long will it take us to get to that point?"

-

If Xia Yu knew Warfarin's inner monologue, she would definitely criticize her immediately, thinking that miracles don't come without a price.

Pulling someone back from the brink of death, plus repairing their body and all that, costs tens of thousands of Originium.

That's almost enough to activate one Noble Phantasm.

The whole "bringing the dead back to life" thing is just a hoax. Frostnova wasn't completely dead yet, so they could use these things to bring her back.

If he were to die completely, I don't know if all the magic power accumulated in the Holy Grail would be enough.

As Xia Yu walked down Rhodes Island's spacious corridor, she responded to the greetings from the operators, thinking to herself with a happy smile.

"By now, news of what happened in the core city should have reached Wei Yanwu..."

"It's a real pity I couldn't get a good look at his expression in person."

"And, after raising Koschke for so long, it finally came knocking on our door..."

The answer I've been longing for is right in front of me.

69 Entrusted to the plan

"Dear outstanding operators, this is Amiya. I will now be reporting some important information to the entire Rhodes Island fleet."

Amiya is giving a speech.

In less than ten hours, the situation in Longmen changed dramatically.

The National Guard Bureau, which had just finished its cleanup operation, was thrown into chaos by news of an arrest warrant for former Special Inspectorate leader Chen Huijie.

The reason for the arrest warrant is unclear, and everyone is speculating what mistake this future master of Longmen has made that would cause Wei Yanwu to take such drastic action.

Yes, it's obvious to everyone that the future master of Lungmen is Wei Yanwu's successor, and this inspector of the Guard Bureau is the one being groomed by Wei Yanwu.

But this successor ran away.
