Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Kiana broke the silence first, saying, "Speaking of which, Kevin, I was able to influence you with the power of consciousness. I seem to remember the Herrscher of Knowledge saying that this ability was ineffective against you."

"really."

Kevin was also somewhat puzzled. Ever since he accepted the power of the commandments from Aponia in order to prevent the mental attacks of the Eighth Herrscher from the previous civilization, although he completely isolated himself from the power of the Eighth Herrscher, he also lost the right to dream.

However, if Kiana used the power of consciousness, then in theory, Kiana's voice should not have been able to reach Kevin's mind, let alone leave an imprint connecting him to Kiana.

This is Alto's own guess.

"Perhaps it's because of the power of the End. Kiana has now become a complete Herrscher of the End, and her power is almost the same as, or even stronger than, the Herrscher of the End you fought back then. I think no matter how powerful you are, you would feel powerless when facing an opponent who is several levels higher than you, right?"

"Then how do you explain catching Kiana's attack earlier?"

"Hehe, no matter what, Kiana is a member of the Kaslana family. She has a grudge against me, but after seeing who is blocking her way, she will eventually hold back. Besides, this is someone else's territory, and Kiana would not go all out just to attack me."

After a few words, Otto had thoroughly analyzed Kiana's psychology, and Kiana couldn't help but sigh at how disgusting Otto's grasp of people's hearts was.

"Indeed, a dead Alto is a good Alto."

Otto naturally wouldn't hold Kiana's blunt words against him.

Although they don't care much, they still complain sometimes.

"Kiana, even though I'm a complete villain, there's no need to talk bad about me to my face, is there?"

"What, does that mean it's not bad talk when I talk about you behind your back?"

Seeing Kiana's retort, Otto smiled knowingly.

This naiveté is indeed somewhat similar to that of Kallen back then. In fact, it's more accurate to say that almost everyone in the Kaslana family is this kind of simple-minded person. Otherwise, the Apocalypse family wouldn't have been so dominant five hundred years ago.

Suddenly Kiana's phone rang, interrupting the seemingly "warm" conversation.

The message on her phone was from someone in the Shence Mansion. Kiana vaguely recognized the sender; her name was Qingzu, and she was Jing Yuan's secretary, responsible for handling matters that didn't need to go through Jing Yuan. The message essentially stated that because the Shence Mansion didn't have Kevin's contact information, they wanted Kiana to go to a designated place to retrieve a copy of intelligence that a former undercover agent had sent out.

The undercover agent has now lost contact. If possible, we hope Kiana can tell the other two people to help investigate the missing undercover agent.

Below that was some basic information about the undercover agents. After reading this information, Kiana realized that she had forgotten to give Kevin and the others their contact information to the Cloud Cavalry soldier first.

Kiana replied to the messages while forwarding the text messages in her hand to the two of them, and gave Aozumi their contact information.

After doing all this, Kiana parted ways with Kevin and the others.

Kiana carefully made her way to the designated place, a station for the Machine Bird, which, according to Tingyun, is a fully automated deliveryman.

The undercover agent chose to disguise the intelligence as a delivery for two reasons: first, this place was relatively close to the stronghold of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings; second, the Ingenious Bird would immediately contact the sender to request a delivery address after receiving an order without one.

The address can be filled in online or offline, and the undercover agent would naturally not actually write himself as the sender, and the person in charge of the Shence Prefecture would naturally not choose to fill in the address online.

Once they arrive here, they will naturally return the order under another pretext, thus receiving the intelligence sent out by the undercover agent.

That was the correct way originally, but an unexpected event occurred.

First, the person responsible for retrieving the intelligence disappeared on his way there, and then the undercover agent also lost all contact. The successive disappearances of these two individuals caused the Shence Prefecture to take the matter very seriously, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, they ultimately did not choose to bring the intelligence back immediately.

Instead, they contacted the Geological Survey to secretly increase patrols in that area. Since the Kiki-Nori Express Company is a state-owned enterprise, if they cannot contact the sender for several days, Kiki-Nori will contact the Geological Survey to collect the stranded packages and hand them over to the sender.

The Yunqi soldier who originally planned to go undercover was responsible for collecting packages, but he saw someone sneaking around doing some kind of pyramid scheme, and on a whim, he decided to go undercover.

Fortunately, he was unharmed and brought back some information, but he ultimately failed to complete the task assigned to him by his superiors. He was scolded and demoted back to the recruit camp to become a recruit again.

Kiana discreetly observed her surroundings, and after confirming that there were no suspicious persons, she presented the temporary identification document given to her by the Earth Balance Division and took the designated package.

However, Kiana didn't expect that the person from the Medicine King's Secret Sect didn't take the package. Perhaps the undercover agent never revealed the location of the information.

Fortunately, no one followed her along the way, and Kiana returned to the Shence Palace unharmed and handed the information over to Qingzu.

After Qingzu finished reading the intelligence sent by the undercover agent, his expression improved slightly.

“This intelligence is very important to us. Thank you for helping us retrieve it,” Qingzu said gratefully. “In addition, the undercover agent mentioned that he might be discovered. After sending out this intelligence, he chose to go into hiding. The only thing we can’t confirm now is the situation of that missing compatriot.”

"Do you need my help to look for it?" Kiana suggested.

"No need. This is an internal matter for us. It's already enough that we have asked our distinguished guests to help investigate the secrets of the Medicine King. I personally can't accept any more requests."

Since the other party refused so readily, Kiana simply stopped pressing the matter and instead inquired about Jingyuan's whereabouts.

"Speaking of which, where is General Jingyuan?"

Kiana was fine until she mentioned Jingyuan Qingzu, which gave her a headache.

"General Jingyuan is currently receiving medical treatment from Lady Bailu. Although it is said to be for medical treatment, everyone in the Shence Mansion knows that the general is just using it as an excuse to be lazy."

"Ah this..."

Seemingly having found an outlet, Qingzu began to complain incessantly.

"Seriously, who uses the excuse of being unwell and needing to see a doctor every day to avoid doing anything? It's one thing to use it, but every time it has to be Lady Bailu who sees the doctor. If Lady Bailu weren't still so young, I would suspect that the general has a crush on her."

Suddenly, Kiana saw Jingyuan, who had appeared out of nowhere, standing not far behind Qingzu. Kiana frantically tried to signal Qingzu to stop talking, but Qingzu ignored her. Instead, Jingyuan watched the scene with great interest.

"And then there's the general's reputation as the 'General with His Eyes Closed'. Those who don't know him might think he can handle anything with ease, solving problems simply by closing his eyes. But those who do know understand that the general is just asleep; we're the ones who painstakingly handle those matters..."

Seeing that Qingzu was getting more and more excited, Jingyuan finally interrupted her complaints. After all, if they continued, even Jingyuan would lose face. It was better to end the topic as soon as possible.

"It seems I've been giving Qingzu too much work and putting too much pressure on him. Do you need me to grant you a vacation so you can relax a bit?"

Upon hearing Jing Yuan's voice, Qing Zu's breath hitched, and he looked at Jing Yuan with a flustered expression, his tone becoming hurried.

"General...when did you arrive?"

"It probably started when you said I was slacking off."

Doesn't this mean it was there from the very beginning?

Of course, Jing Yuan wouldn't bother with such trivial matters. Besides, Qing Zu was telling the truth, and Jing Yuan couldn't find a legitimate reason to refute her, so he simply skipped the topic.

"I already know about your companion's infiltration of the Medicine King's secret teachings. This matter was originally Qingzu's responsibility. Your companion can just hand over the reins to Qingzu directly, and I won't interfere too much."

Before the words were finished, a Cloud Rider came up to the group with a piece of paper. According to the Cloud Rider, this was a secret intelligence sent by Otto, saying that it was a prescription passed down by the Medicine King, the efficacy of which was unknown, and he hoped that the Shence Mansion could analyze the efficacy of the medicine.

Upon hearing this, everyone present became solemn. However, none of them understood pharmacology, and they were completely bewildered by the prescription in their hands.

Fortunately, Qingzu knew of a pill master who was currently in Changletian. The man, named Danshu, was the actual leader of the Pill Cauldron Division. He was a kind-hearted person who would come to Changletian to provide free medical consultations on this day of every month.

The timeframe varies from three to five days. She is also the most knowledgeable pharmacist in the entire Dan Ding Division. Qing Zu believes that if it is her, she will definitely be able to see the mystery behind it.

So Kiana set off with the Braille version of the prescription to find a master alchemist named Dan Shu. The reason it was in Braille was because Dan Shu was born with a visual impairment, commonly known as a blind person.

Although the people of the Immortal Ship can live forever, their physical condition is fixed at birth, and their bodies also have strong exclusivity.

When anything is transplanted into the body, as long as it is not the original material, a strong rejection reaction will occur, causing the recipient unbearable pain.

Therefore, people like Dan Shu, who are born with defects, are also called "those with heavenly defects" in the Immortal Ship. It is precisely because the people of the Immortal Ship have an extreme rejection reaction that this defect cannot be completely cured by transplanting organs.

However, these are not things Kiana needs to worry about right now. After making inquiries from various sources, Kiana finally found Danshu in a pavilion.

After a brief explanation, Dan Shu readily agreed to help analyze the prescription. However, the extreme nature of the prescription's pharmacology meant she would need some time to fully understand it, and she would naturally inform Kiana when that time came.

However, since he didn't have the necessary equipment on hand, Dan Shu decided to finish what he was doing first and sincerely invited Kiana to come and be his assistant.

Kiana agreed without hesitation, since the sooner Dan Shu finished his work, the sooner he would know the secret of the prescription.

However, to Kiana's surprise, she witnessed bullying even on the Immortal Ship.
