Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

In the afternoon, the first scheduled visitor arrived on time. They were the old Taoist priest and Lin Qingyan who came on behalf of the Taoist Temple.

Roy had been waiting in the reception area for a long time. He stood up, greeted the two of them, and began to greet them politely.

"Mr. Roy, long time no see."

"It's been a long time since we last met. The old master's energy and blood are much calmer and stronger than last time."

When I first met the old Celestial Master, he was like a blazing golden flame. The demonic taint he'd acquired from centuries of battle was like a maggot clinging to his bones, constantly consuming the flame's energy.

Today, the old Taoist priest gives people the feeling of being like the scorching sun at noon, so hot and dazzling that ordinary people cannot look directly at him.

Those troublesome evil spirits and pollutants were suppressed by the extremely strong and masculine power and could no longer cause any impact.

"Thanks to Miss Elki's prescription, the contamination left by the evil spirit is temporarily safe from recurrence. Hundreds of years have passed, and I can finally sleep peacefully."

Without having to endure the torture of pain, the old Taoist priest's temperament became much more relaxed and comfortable.

"It's good that it works. Old Tianshi holds an important position in Da Yan, so please take good care of your health."

"Mr. Roy is especially so. As the Demon King who rules over Kazdel, he's usually busy with official duties, and it's inevitable that he'll feel tired after work."

"Qingyan." The old Taoist priest turned his head and signaled to his disciple beside him. Hearing this, Lin Qingyan bowed respectfully and placed the carved wooden box in his hand on the coffee table.

When the carved wooden box is opened, four cylindrical blue and white ceramic containers are neatly arranged inside, and they are padded with red silk velvet.

"The tea produced in the Tianshi Mansion has the effect of refreshing the mind and dispelling fatigue. I hope it can help you." The old Tianshi introduced the origin and function of tea to Roy. The gift was not expensive, but had practical value.

"Since the old Taoist priest specially prepared the tea for me, I will accept it." Roy raised his hand to close the carved wooden box and put it aside for the time being.

After receiving the tea gift, Roy and the old Taoist priest officially started the conversation - information about the "giant beast Ya" and the "mountain and sea people".

The old Heavenly Master came this time not only to promote the culture of the Heavenly Master Mansion of Yan Country to the world, but also to support the younger generations.

The Shanhai Clan, coveting the power of the behemoth, came with great force. They had made ample preparations for this operation, even resorting to the use of powerful forbidden items. Worried about casualties among his younger generation, the old Celestial Master also arrived in Kazdel, ready to provide a backup if necessary.

"Is the guard force at the place where the giant beast Ya is being held tight enough? Does the Simaitai need to send more personnel..." As Kazdel had no experience in dealing with giant beasts, the old Taoist priest was worried about something unexpected happening and took the initiative to inquire about the situation of the giant beast Ya's imprisonment.

"The bronze cage built by Nian sealed all of Ya's power. Severely injured, Ya was unable to break free. The seal is deep within the multi-dimensional world created by Xi. Those in the mountains and seas will face great difficulties in finding Ya."

Roy introduced the detention measures for Ya to the old Taoist priest. He never worried that Ya would escape, but was more worried that cultural activities would be affected by the Shanhai people.

"Haha... With the help of these two Year Beast agents, the severely injured beast has almost no chance of escape. The thieves who came for the beast have been trapped." Hearing this, the old Taoist priest felt relieved and ended the conversation between the Shanhai people and the giant beast Ya. After a few words of small talk, he stood up and said goodbye.

"The Shanhai people..." Roy stood by the window, his hands behind his back, overlooking the city, which appeared bustling and bustling, but was actually turbulent. This grand cultural exchange event was like a bonfire in the wilderness, attracting countless insects and beasts.

According to the report submitted by Ascalon, several unidentified teams have recently infiltrated the city, and the pressure on maintaining public security and counter-espionage has increased instantly.

The Shapeshifter Cluster has spies throughout the city, who can help various departments identify suspicious individuals. Once a suspicious individual shows signs of action, Askalon can immediately bring people to arrest him.

Even so, the power of defense is ultimately limited, and there will always be fish that slip through the net. Those people hide deeply, patiently lurking in the shadows, waiting for others to take action and muddy the waters, taking advantage of the opportunity to fish in the muddy waters and achieve their own goals.

It's easy to dodge an open attack, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. For the entire Kazdel, this is a difficult test.

"Boom boom boom..."

There was a knock on the office door. Roy came back to his senses from his thoughts and said calmly, "Come in!"

"Excuse me." The Vaifan woman, shrouded in a white cloak, pushed the door open and slowly took off her hat, revealing her long, smooth platinum hair and a delicate, beautiful face.

"Hello, Mr. Roy. I finally see the real you." Rafshini, who received aristocratic education since childhood, lifted her skirt and performed an elegant and appropriate greeting.

Roy asked Lavishini to sit down and asked with concern, "It's a long journey from Tara to Kazdel. Did you encounter any difficulties along the way?"

Ravshini shook her head slightly and replied softly, "If it weren't for your help, we don't know how long it would have taken us to arrive. On behalf of everyone in the team, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."

"That landship just brought you back on the way. You don't have to come here to thank me for it." Roy waved his hand lightly, meaning that there was no need to be polite with him.

"...Okay, I understand." Ravshini was silent for a moment, then nodded in response. In fact, she had already inquired with the crew during the journey, and the town where the team members boarded the ship was not within the original route of the land ship.

The captain suddenly changed the itinerary before returning and took a detour to the remote town. It was not a stop on the way back as Mr. Roy said.

But since Mr. Roy doesn't want me to pay too much attention to this matter, I'll just pretend I don't know.

"Can you adapt to life in Kazdel?" Roy poured a cup of Victorian black tea for Ravshini to ease her tension.

"I feel very good here. Everyone has a happy smile on their face."

"How can the people of Tara have their own houses, their own shops, and their own lives, just like the residents here..."

Ravshini's knuckles turned slightly white as she held the teacup, her eyes filled with sadness and complexity.

"A better life is built on the concerted efforts of the people of Tara. This is a long process that requires steady progress, so let's keep going."

Roy realized that she was in self-doubt, so as someone who had been through it, he gave her encouragement and advice.

"I know, I just feel a little emotional. The existence of the Deep Pool has brought changes to the lives of the people of Tara. Everyone in Tara needs me, so I will continue to work hard."

"In that case, as the Demon King of the Sarkaz, I wish you all the best, whether it's this cultural exchange event or the great cause of the Deep Pool."

"Thank you, I won't let you down."
