People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Looking at those piles of documents, if they were processed at a normal speed, one person would not be able to finish all these tasks in a day. Although Canaan has entered a stable period now, the daily paperwork has not decreased at all.

However, although the current stage is stable, Canaan still needs to consider the issue of future transformation and how to reasonably develop cooperation with surrounding cities so that the economic flow will not deliberately bypass Canaan just because it is an infected city.

The future is so difficult.

"Okay, let me see what these are."

What Tallulah said was not completely unreasonable. It did make some sense. After all, Alina's excuse before leaving was not to disturb Tallulah and herself. So if you count it this way, it was indeed Tallulah's responsibility that she had to do twice as much work out of thin air.

Fang Zhou scanned the documents in his hand at a glance. As Fang Zhou had expected, all the documents in his hand were about Canaan’s future economic cooperation and related transformation issues, as well as various people’s livelihood issues.

Simply put, it is all about trivial matters concerning basic people's livelihood and future development.

To be the manager of a city, what really wears out one's spirit is often not the potential enemies or the confrontation of ideas. Such grand and exciting things make those ambitious people feel exhausted physically and mentally, but precisely these trivial matters in Fang Zhou's hands.

If it were still the same loose organization wandering across the tundra, there would be no need to pay attention to some of the issues mentioned in these documents.

For example, so-called traffic management, garbage disposal, or maintenance of public facilities. After all, there is no basis for the development of these problems on the tundra.

But things are different within a city. Tallulah has to think about these problems, even the so-called vendor management and community conflicts.

These issues may seem trivial, but each one is directly related to the quality of life of the people in the city and the sustainable development of the city.

As a manager, Tallulah needs to invest a lot of time, energy and patience in these small matters, and at the same time face people's expectations, especially after Canaan officially became a legal city in the empire. As the most special infected city, Tallulah must face the overwhelming media supervision and pressure from the upper echelons of the empire.

It is these "trivial" little things that constitute the daily life of urban management, but at the same time it is the accumulation of these small things that can best hone a manager's will and ability.

Looking at Tallulah's distressed look as she held a document, occasionally writing and drawing on the white paper next to her with a pen, or scratching her head after combing her hair, Fang Zhou smiled and sat next to her.

This is the experience required to become an excellent city manager, or even a future national helmsman. However, since she has asked me for help, it is natural for me to help. After all, she is my girlfriend, and I might be able to pass on some experience to her when dealing with it... Uh, forget it, I just know how to do it, but if I want to preach, I will call Woz if I have the chance in the future.

As the Demon King's most reliable retainer, managing the city is easy for him.

"..."

As Fang Zhou was thinking this, he did not stop moving his hands at all, so much so that Tallulah next to him was staring at him blankly.

Watching him taking and putting down documents one by one, and constantly making marks and comments on them with a pen, it only took a dozen seconds, and the actual documents were neatly placed next to the Ark. This speed of almost one second and one minute made Tallulah a little stunned.

And some people were worried that Ark's writing was completely random, so Tallulah picked up several documents and read them one by one. It turned out that every comment and slogan on them was actually a valid suggestion for the document. This showed that Ark not only read the entire document in that one second, but also came up with more than one countermeasure based on the issues raised in the document.

What terrifying efficiency! Is this really something humans can do?

Looking at the documents on the table disappearing at an almost visible speed, Tallulah immediately felt something was wrong and immediately took over the documents that she couldn't figure out or that she felt could be handled better but couldn't figure out how to handle at the moment.

"Fang Zhou Fang Zhou, listen, don't be anxious, help me take a look at these first."

"Hmm? Okay, which one?"

Looking at the document that Tallulah was pointing at, Fang Zhou took it and read the entire document almost in seconds, which made Tallulah break out in a cold sweat. You know, this document was six pages long.

"This problem is indeed a bit tricky, but it's not a big deal. For Canaan today, whether it handles it well or not simply depends on the short-term fluctuations in its external reputation. And there are solutions. Look here, it mentions Seven Streets..."

While Ark was explaining some tips on governing the city to Tallulah, Amiya also successfully obtained some prophecies about the future from the Cyclops.

"In short, we can now be almost certain that Amiya will face off against Dagar, the Heart-beating Lord, the Lord of the Heart-Seeking Court, in the near future."

Shining frowned, and while thinking, he couldn't help but look at Elki, who seemed completely calm and was sitting there sipping black tea.

"Based on what I saw, that's exactly what happened, and Miss Amiya will lose this battle. That's what I saw."

Will be defeated in the battle with the Heart-beating Lord.

This prophecy made everyone feel extremely heavy-hearted. The Cyclops's predictions were always vague, but vaguely accurate. If the future that the Cyclops saw was a future of Amiya's failure, then they should really cheer up and think carefully about how to solve the problem if they really had to face it at that time.

"The Whiplash's abilities are very strange. This strange ability to spy on other people's minds and manipulate them is quite unfair to a certain extent. Even within the Sarkaz, no one treats these perverts who spy on others' minds from time to time with a good face."

Flemont spoke while thinking, but as the words fell, a trace of embarrassment flashed between the brows of Amiya who was sitting opposite him.

To some extent, I am also a pervert who can pry into people's hearts.

Amiya's smile was a little awkward. Especially in recent times, the number of times she used "Civilization's Survival" to actively explore other people's emotions seemed to have increased. After all, there were occasions where this ability was really necessary.

How could this old-fashioned Fremont not notice Amiya's embarrassed expression? Realizing that he seemed to have fired a relatively large map cannon, the old lich immediately coughed twice and came up with a... But then again:

"However, this ability was still highly valued during the Kazdel War. After all, being able to peek into the enemy's mind is a considerable help to us."

To be honest, perhaps many people simply cannot understand why the Sarkaz lose war after war when they have units like the Whiplash and the Shapeshifter that can efficiently obtain enemy intelligence?

If this question were asked to Fremont, the old lich would probably look at him with disdain:

You guys only see the various powerful and buggy abilities within the Sarkaz, but you don't see what kind of enemies we are facing.

Why have the Sarkaz been feared by the nations of Terra for thousands of years? Every attempt to destroy Kazdel requires the combined strength of multiple nations. This is precisely because Kazdel is now lagging behind in war technology, putting itself at a disadvantage against the nations it once defeated. Otherwise...

Ugh.

When the old lich thought of this question, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He also wanted to see Kazdel's glorious past.

Ahem, I'm a little off topic.

However, after Frémont quickly brought the topic back, Amiya's expression was obviously better. But even if he ignored these remarks, the little rabbit would not do anything to him. At most, it would be a small revenge like burning his beard after the time stop.

The little rabbit thought darkly in his heart.

Frémont suddenly shuddered, and subconsciously looked towards Amiya, only to meet the smiling eyes of the Rabbit Demon King.

hiss----

Fremond took a breath of cold air, then immediately turned his head around, and at the same time began to wonder if he had just escaped another disaster?

"Miss Elki, I have a question."

Flemont fell into a strange silence at this time, but Amiya's questions were not over yet.

"You say."

Elki put down the tea in his hand and looked at the young demon king with calm eyes.

"Can you see where I fought with that Heart-beating Chalk Lord?"

There was a moment of silence in the conference room. Elki pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"I did see it. Although all I could see was a wilderness of forest, I was certain that was it..."

"that is……"

Everyone held their breath and waited for Elki's next answer.

Seeing the people's nervous expressions, Elki smiled and suddenly thought of saying a random place name to confuse them. However, this kind of common sense was ultimately impossible to implement. After all, the Cyclops knew that what they were discussing was a serious matter that could not be lost, and he could not play a prank casually.

"The battle took place in the land of Leithania, but since all I could see was a wilderness of forests, I can't be sure which region or city you were fighting in."

Amiya nodded. Although she couldn't be sure which region or city they would meet, just knowing that they would meet the Heart-beating Chalk Lord in Leithania was already a great help.

"Ms. Amiya, you should still want to know the whereabouts of the Heart-beating Chalk Lord, right? Although my prophecy cannot accurately predict the exact location, I can see it now..."

"..."

The jewels adorning Elki's head seemed to be emitting a faint glow. Everyone looked at her, waiting for her answer, just like before.

"I saw him. He has come to Leitania."

Chapter 368 I Don't Know How to Lose

"The Dajjal has come to Leithania."

There is no doubt that this news is not good.

Moreover, Elki's words also confirmed without a doubt that the Whipping Heart Demon who was about to fight against them was none other than the Lord of the Heart-Seeing Royal Court, the Whipping Heart Lord Dagar.

"Miss Elki, didn't you say before that you didn't clearly see who the Whipped Heart Demon in the prophecy was? Why do you now seem so certain that the Whipped Heart Demon is the Whipped Heart Master?"

Shining's eyes were like swords, so sharp that it seemed as if it wanted to cut open the mind of the Cyclops in front of it and dissect all the things that might be hidden inside to see how much was concealed and how many truths and lies there were.

Elki was not at all annoyed by Shining's open suspicion and questioning.

He joined in midway, so his identity was quite suspicious, especially since he had predicted that Amiya would definitely fail in the future. It was only natural for this lady of forgiveness to feel hostile towards him. Moreover, as a Cyclops who always predicted bad endings, Elki had become accustomed to this kind of gaze over the years.

"It's very simple. Although I can't see clearly who the Whiplash Demon is, didn't Mr. Frémont say before that it is very likely to be the Whiplash Demon Lord?"

Elki glanced at Fremont as he spoke, and the old lich stroked his beard and agreed silently.

"In that case, even though I can't see who the Whiplash Demon is, why don't I just predict the current movements of the Whiplash Demon Lord?"

Well... indeed, this is really a clever method. Just like the saying goes, when the strength of the treasure houses exceeds that of the walls, then the walls become the doors.

"As you can see, in the future I saw, I saw the Lord of Chalk walking on the land of Leithnia, which led to the following words I said to Miss Amiya. I wonder if Miss Shining is satisfied with my answer?"

Elki closed his eyes slightly as he spoke. When Shining heard this, he put down his aggressive attitude. The information and explanations Elki had provided so far could form a logical loop, which meant that there was nothing wrong with it for the time being.

However, Shining is still wary of this suddenly appearing Cyclops. Even though the other party has handed over the control head of his clan to Amiya, this may still be a way to gain trust, and he cannot let his guard down.

"But looking at it this way, the Cyclops's ability is quite convenient. Can he predict anyone's future? Or does it have to be someone he knows?"

Compared to Shining who has already listed Elki as a target that needs to be vigilant, Lin Guang also did not relax, but compared to his tense muscles just now, Lin Guang has now slowly relaxed.

Or maybe in her eyes, Elki, who didn't seem to have very strong physical strength, could be easily subdued without using too much force.

We underestimated the enemy. The magical and bizarre witchcraft of the Sarkaz is much more insidious than the Originium skills.

Shining sighed inwardly.

"Miss Lin Guang, you overestimate our prophetic abilities. Although the Cyclops' predictions may seem very convenient to you, they are actually not. As Cyclops, we cannot accurately control the content of the prophecy. If we want to accurately predict the future of certain targets, we need the assistance of other witchcraft, and the cost is also very high. Don't think that I am sitting here chatting with you as if nothing is wrong, but in fact, I can't even stand up now."

Elki said this with a wry smile.

It is not an easy thing to gain the trust of others. It is impossible without paying some price, not to mention that she is a suspicious character who joined in halfway.

Upon hearing this, Amiya immediately grabbed Elki's hand and activated the Cyclops's control dial in the other's astonished eyes.

"Cyclops!"

The unique power flowed from the control dial through Amiya's body into Elki's body. His originally weak body immediately became full, but in contrast, a feeling of hunger began to appear in Elki's stomach.

"Ms. Elki, how do you feel now?"

Amiya's gentle smile made Elki a little dizzy. In a trance, she seemed to see the shadow of the deceased White King in Amiya's smile.

"The Demon King..."

"Ok?"

There was a hint of doubt in Amiya's blue eyes, and Elki immediately came back to his senses, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

"No, it's nothing. Thank you, Miss Amiya."

After saying this, Elki pulled his hand back swiftly, but the remaining warmth in his palm made the usually calm Cyclops tremble a little.

After Elki explained that Dagar had appeared in Letania, silence settled over the conference room. The powerful enemy that could lead to their defeat was right before their eyes, casting a pall of gloom over everyone's hearts.

"Everyone."

Fortunately, Amiya quickly adjusted herself and clapped her hands to attract the attention of Lin Guang, who was a little uneasy, and the others who were also a little depressed.

"Don't show that expression. Although Miss Elki predicted that I would lose to a Whiplash and be destroyed catastrophically, it might not be this Dagar. After all, Miss Elki also said that she didn't predict that the enemy would be the Dagar, but because we think the enemy is the Dagar, so she predicted the Dagar. As for the Whiplash Lord's appearance in Leithania now... maybe it's just a coincidence?

After all, we've only been in Leitania these past few days. Judging by the distance from Kazdel to Leitania, he would have had to leave Kazdel at least when we first arrived in Leitania to barely catch up. But the fact that you and I came to Leitania was almost a spur-of-the-moment plan, so..."

"Being too optimistic isn't a good thing, little devil."

Flemont interrupted Amiya, and the old lich frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

"You're right, but we have to be prepared. Dagar is a tough guy to deal with. Even if I'm not careful, I'll inevitably fall into his trap. Psychic attack, huh, that might be a rare effective attack for us liches."

Although they will not die unless the life knot is destroyed, using powerful mental attacks to turn the lich into a fool is also a way to deal with these undead creatures.

That's why Fremont doesn't like Whiplash, especially those Whiplash who don't follow the rules and use their abilities recklessly.

However, with such a long history, the liches knew that the Whiplash posed a threat to them, and naturally they had methods to fight it. Due to their long residence in Leithania, their contact with the Whiplash had become less and less frequent. Perhaps these methods had been forgotten by the younger liches, but for Fremont, a lich scribe, these methods were just a matter of revisiting his mind.

"But the law of the world is this: 'Indigo dyes white cloth, seedlings are afraid of crickets, saliva attracts fleas, and one thing conquers another.'"

"Teacher, where did you learn the Da Yan jingle?"

Ermengarde looked at his teacher speechlessly. If he had a solution, he should just say it directly. But he kept it in suspense and even told it in a jingle.

"Children, please don't interrupt when adults are talking."

After glaring at Ermengarde, Flemont snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Recently, Ermengarde has been more and more fond of destroying her own plans. It seems that I haven't disciplined her for a month and she owes me a paper to write. No, I have to find her some topics to write about.

Ermengarde, who didn't know what he would face in the future, stuck out his tongue at his teacher, picked up a piece of cake and ate it obediently, and pricked up his ears to listen to what his teacher had to say.

"Everything has its own way. Are you saying you have a way to deal with Dajjal?"

The shapeshifter looked as indifferent as ever, as if nothing on this earth was worth surprising him, even though this was indeed the truth.
