Because of the rainy weather, the white short hair that should have been clean and shiny was covered by the dirty water, and the bright yellow clothes on the body were also stained with mud.

Her slender thighs pressed against her plump breasts. The film girl curled herself up into a ball, staring blankly at the only remaining photo in her hand.

"Mother."

Chapter 443: Sin

"See, it's just as I said. Under the current circumstances, both Tracy and Precious will definitely make a big move soon. Humph, including the Duke of Cumberland who died in the power struggle among the Grand Dukes, all eight Grand Dukes of Victoria are now dead."

Fang Zhou placed the information in his hand on the table and looked at Kal'tsit and Theresa opposite him with an expression that said, "I guess so."

"It's conceivable that Victoria will be plunged into extraordinary chaos during this period. The eight Grand Dukes and their fleets have been completely destroyed. Victoria is now a piece of fat meat in the eyes of the surrounding countries."

The shapeshifter smiled sarcastically after hearing this.

"But they don't dare eat this piece of meat right now. In their eyes, the mysterious guy who destroyed the entire fleet of the eight Grand Dukes has not yet appeared. As for whether this incident was done by the Sarkaz entrenched in Londinium... they don't think so."

There is no doubt that Victoria is now in an unprecedented period of weakness. The armies of the eight grand dukes were completely wiped out, and the military defense of the entire country has fallen into an extremely empty state. It can be said that no matter which country around it is now, not to mention Ursus, whether it is Letania or Casimir or even Syracuse across Letania, they can bite off a piece of meat from Victoria.

But now, just as the Shapeshifter said, they didn't dare to take any action at all, because they didn't know what the thing that destroyed the armies of the eight dukes was.

Natural disaster? How could it be possible that eight natural disasters of the same type occurred simultaneously within the same country, and all fell squarely on the territories and fleets of eight Grand Dukes?

This is impossible no matter how you think about it.

"But the thing Tracy is planning to build now is the Shard. Its original function is to create a massive Originium storm at a fixed location. This scene now perfectly matches the function of that weapon."

A thought flashed in the shapeshifter's eyes, and he was thinking, could it be that Tracy and the others have already completed the Shard? But that shouldn't be the case. When he left Londinium, the construction of that thing was not even half completed, and the airship was only a skeleton. Moreover, if the airship was really built, and eight of them were built at the same time, Dead Souls should have told them, unless the old guy Dead Souls was a fence-sitter and didn't want to be in a dilemma.

"That's not what The Shard is capable of."

The Soul-Soothing Nail that had been kept in Frémont's chest pocket opened.

Red flames floated around the soul-soothing nail, it seemed that the dead souls had returned here.

"Your ability is really convenient. As long as you mark the corresponding items, you can almost travel to any place on the continent in an instant."

The shapeshifter was somewhat impressed by the dead soul's abilities, but the latter scoffed at them.

When it comes to spreading yourself across the continent, who can compare to you, the Shapeshifter? Just as Fang Ark mentioned earlier, the Shapeshifter is the natural enemy of modern civilization. With its unlimited ability to split and transform, it can even read the memories of those it transforms. If it were dropped into the next-door Honkai Universe, it could cosplay a Thousand Herrscher, and with its Shapeshifter experience, it would definitely be better than the original Thousand Herrscher.

"I am just a dormant consciousness here. I came here to awaken it. There you, the shapeshifter, are free."

"That's true."

Poof! Password, this guy actually admitted it so casually. Although this is indeed a fact, shouldn't you be pushing the blame back and forth and complimenting each other at this time?

But when the dead soul thought that the guy in front of him was a shapeshifter, he didn't feel strange anymore.

After all, this guy's character is one of the worst among all the lords of the royal court.

"There's no doubt it was Precious who did it. Manipulating Originium and causing natural disasters, is there anyone in this land better at controlling the will of Originium than her?"

While everyone was discussing, Amiya, who was sitting between Kal'tsit and Theresa, remained silent.

Fang Zhou glanced at the silent little rabbit and put down the teacup in his hand.

"Amiya, what do you think? Do you think we should have warned the Grand Dukes a few days ago?"

Ark had mentioned a few days ago that Tracy and Precious would definitely make a big move in the next period of time, but he did not make any intervention in the following period. When the disaster affected eight grand dukes and the civilians of related nature, Ark would not be surprised if Amiya felt that she had not done what she should have done out of kindness and fell into regret.

"No, Doctor. Although we knew about Tracy and Precious before, and that they would definitely make a big move, we didn't have any more specific information. Now it's clear that Mr. Dead Soul has also been excluded from the small circle by these two people. We have no way to obtain intelligence at all, and even if we want to do something, we don't know where to start.

And with the arrogance of the Grand Dukes of Victoria, even if we remind them to be careful and be on guard against the Sarkaz in the city, they will probably just laugh at us for being worrying too much and not knowing what to do.

Amiya said this.

After all, until now, even though the Grand Dukes of Victoria knew that the Sarkaz in Londinium were doing something that should not be told to outsiders, they still did not think that the Sarkaz could cause any trouble in Londinium.

The reason they are not taking action now is simply because their colleagues have not taken action yet.

After all, the next military action would inevitably be to defeat the Sarkaz, eliminate Londinium, and re-establish the nation. Anyone who stood out would undoubtedly be targeted by the other Grand Dukes, so they were waiting for their colleagues to make the first move, then targeting them. Once that outspoken colleague had sparked a major struggle in Victoria, they would then launch their own bid for supremacy.

It's just a pity that the struggle for Victoria ended before it even began. All eight grand dukes were wiped out, and there was no need to start again.

"Right now, I'm more worried about Precious. What will they do next? Victoria has lost eight Grand Dukes, and the Sarkaz are entrenched in Londinium. I think their next goal will be to seize all of Victoria's territory. I wouldn't be surprised if they even establish New Kazdel within Victoria's territory."

New Kazdel.

Amiya's eyes flashed with worry. There were still a large number of civilians in Londinium and Victoria. After their Grand Dukes were all dead, they would definitely not allow the Sarkaz to occupy Victoria and establish New Kazdel. It would probably be another bloodbath. Amiya didn't want such a scene to happen if she could help it. If her power could prevent it, then even more so...

"They will, but probably not now."

Fang Zhou stroked his chin, but his eyes drifted to the door of the office. He did not forget that there was still a little lion and a big lion on Rhodes Island. Now, this incident just happened, and the news has not spread to the whole land. Only the top leaders of various countries have collected this information through their own intelligence departments. It is estimated that it will be soon. After all, those dogs who study journalism will not give up such a big piece of meat. The eight dukes of Victoria all died in the raw stone disaster storm. Even such a monotonous and dull headline is estimated to instantly ignite the enthusiasm of people of all countries to eat melons.

By then, the little lion on this ship will definitely receive this information, and it will probably cause quite a bit of trouble.

"As for why not now, it's simple. At this point, annexing the entire territory of Victoria wouldn't have much strategic significance for them. It would even provoke strong hostility from other countries. Creating such a massive enemy would only benefit us. Therefore, their next strategy would likely be more inclined towards..."

"Will Rhode Island continue to be the priority?"

"No, it's Amiya's Zi-O driving watch."

The little rabbit took out his driving watch from his pocket and fell into deep thought while looking at the knight portrait on it.

It had been like this from the very beginning in Chernobog and Longmen. The target that Priss had revealed from the beginning to the end was the control watch in his hand, even the previous attack by Tracy was the same.

"For them, as long as they can snatch Amiya's driving watch head, everything will come to an end."

As for why Tracy and Precious were so obsessed with the Zi-O control watch in Amiya's hand, Fang Zhou had an immature guess in his mind, but he was not sure whether this guess was feasible. After all, this method was too wild. It couldn't really be 1+1=2.

"So they will definitely be planning more during this period. We need to strengthen our security against attacks on Rhodes Island."

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the office door. Natalia walked into the office with a document and a report, smiling at everyone in the office. Of course, her eyes were especially focused on Fang Zhou.

"Doctor, the follow-up work regarding the transfer of patients from the Rhodes Island ship to Canaan has been completed. Mayor Tallulah hopes to meet with you tomorrow to discuss the issue of the third-generation Originium blocker and...some minor matters. Of course, Miss Froststar also has something she would like to discuss with you in the meeting request she sent back."

"..."

Ark was silent for a while. All the patients on Rhodes Island's main ship were transferred to Canaan. This task started from the day after Amiya arrived and was completed today. The transfer of more than 1000 infected people to Canaan was certainly not unconditional. It was just that Rhodes Island had helped Canaan build infrastructure, provided support for the Xumagia project, and agreed to assist Canaan in expanding the mobile city. It had done too many things in the name of help before, so this time Rhodes Island hoped to transfer its patients to Canaan, and the Integration Movement naturally agreed unconditionally.

Now that the handover work is completed, it is natural that an acceptance personnel is needed to go and confirm the final results of the work. Originally, anyone could do it. Warfarin who went with the team could do this job, but since Tallulah specifically asked Fang Zhou to come... ahem, and she even said that she wanted to discuss some other small matters.

None of the people in the office were stupid. Although the relationship between Ark, Kal'tsit and Tallulah was not made public on Rhodes Island, and only the top brass on the Reunion side knew about the complicated relationship between the three, Ark had previously assisted the Reunion in overcoming many difficulties in the snowfields, and even the Chernobog operation was planned by the man in front of them, such things could be found out by investigating.

Moreover, during the initial period, the leaders of the movement and the people went to Rhodes Island every few days. The reasons for each trip were all strange, but they all had one thing in common: after finding the Ark, they basically stayed by his side and did not move.

Anyone can see that something is wrong.

and……

Flemont took a sip of black tea, his eyes unconsciously drifting towards the Ursus girl in front of him, whose eyes had been fixed on Fang Zhou since she came in.

He's still young, and doesn't know how to restrain himself. Or is it that the people in Ursus are just so simple and honest? Uh, no, the people of Ursus are not simple and honest.

The child is still young.

"A great sin."

After listening to Natalia's report, the shapeshifter glanced at everyone in the office in front of him and suddenly said this, which made Fang Ark glare at the slime, but he only got a puzzled smile in return.

"Okay, I got it. Please add this to tomorrow's schedule. If there are any conflicts with the others, please move them slightly and send them to my terminal."

"Yes, Doctor."

Natalia smiled and walked out of the office slowly, taking four steps instead of three. She looked not in a hurry at all. If it were not for the need to ensure work efficiency, perhaps this child could take half an hour to walk at one step.

After Theresa watched the white bear girl walk out of the office, she concealed her smile and looked at Fang Zhou meaningfully.

"Come to think of it, ever since I came back, it seems like it's always been this kid named Zaolu who's been assisting you with all your work, Doctor. Are you planning to train this kid to be your personal assistant?"

Fang Zhou pinched the bridge of his nose, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"This matter is quite complicated. I can only say that I played a passive role in this matter. From the beginning, my assistant system was a rotation system, which was established to prevent me from being harmed by outside assassins. But even so, the assistant rotation was determined in advance, and the HR department would send an email to the operator's terminal a day in advance. Well, at first, I don't know how the kid knew who would be my assistant during that period. One after another, they lobbied for a shift change. As a result, for a period of time, my assistant position was always held by Zaolu. In the end, Askalon came to ask me what was going on."

That's right. The original purpose of the assistant rotation system was to prevent the same person from handling high-level affairs for too long, leaving time for planning assassinations. But now, a white bear from nowhere has taken advantage of the situation and has taken up all the assistant positions for nearly two weeks. As a member of the purge agency, Ascalon naturally had to come and ask what was going on.

"So now the assistant rotation system has been changed to same-day notification, rather than two days in advance. Originally, the one-day slack was to allow operators to do some preparatory work and arrange their work schedules in advance, but now that this problem has arisen, Ascalon has suggested to me that we change to same-day notification, but it seems unnecessary now."

Kal'tsit's sharp eyes pierced Fang Ark's mind, causing the latter to tilt his head and scratch his cheek while laughing.

"After all, Zaolu's work is pretty good, isn't it? That girl even knows my work habits inside and out. If she wasn't so determined to be my assistant and her position was so sensitive, Ascalon would have wanted to recruit her to SWPPE."

Some things can only be said to be talents, but why Natalia was able to achieve such a level at that time, Fang Zhou and Askalon later investigated, and the method they found was quite simple.

Throwing money.

It's not an insult, but Natalia's method is so simple. The current Natalia is not the down-and-out eldest lady who has lost her noble status in the original timeline. She is still the jewel in the crown of the Rostov family. She only needs a word to mobilize the massive resources of Rostov Industry. Moreover, her father took advantage of the previous Chernobog incident to become the mayor of New Chernobog and control this southern industrial city. The power map of the Rostov family has been further expanded, and wealth has also been accumulated more widely.

In order to accurately obtain the information about Ark's assistant at the time, Natalia used the simplest method: spending money.

Although still young, the noble is quite good at socializing. After building good relationships with most of the operators, she told them that if anyone was chosen to be the Doctor's assistant, they must let her know, and then she would use money to buy the opportunity on the same day.

Yes, buy it directly with money.

In fact, most operators are a little worried about this kind of behavior. After all, this kind of thing involves the safety of the Ark. No matter how powerful the Ark is, it cannot withstand the risk of being backstabbed by people around it due to a momentary negligence. However, most people seem to agree to Natalia's request in the final stage.

As for why... Fang Zhou felt that after Lotus returned from Kazdel, he would need to question the HR director who was fanning the flames behind the scenes.

"Oh, Doctor, if things get delayed, it's not going to end well."

Theresa looked at Kal'tsit and then at Fang Ark, who offered a "friendly" suggestion.

"……understood."

Looking at Theresa's eyes that were obviously filled with joy as she watched the fun, and Kal'tsit's eyes that were almost filled with dissatisfaction, Fang Ark couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed.

O sin.

Chapter 444: The Law of Conservation of Soft and Hard

"Eat fruit?"

The cut fruits were placed on the coffee table. Kal'tsit reached out and took the pineapple on the toothpick and put it into her mouth. The sweet and sour flesh was crushed and the juice flowed between her lips and teeth.

Kal'tsit's ears twitched, which made Fang Ark feel itchy.

"Want to touch?"

The lynx cat's eyes suddenly became sharp. This person's eyes are often focused on his ears and legs. Anyone can tell what his hobbies are.

"May I?"

"No."

"why is it like this……"

Fang Zhou collapsed on the sofa in a state of great loss, which made Kal'tsit's mouth curl up slightly. She picked up half an apple from the fruit plate, and then leaned back on the sofa to browse the messages on her mobile phone.

The silver-gray eyes followed the curve of Kal'tsit's body and fell on the pair of jade-smooth thighs.

After Kal'tsit sat down, the hem of the short dress could only cover her hips, and a pair of long, smooth legs with white and pink hues were exposed to the air.

What a great opportunity.

Be brave and do it!

Fang Zhou didn't hesitate at all and leaned sideways. Before Kal'tsit could react, he rested his head on the thighs that caught his attention all the time.

"stand up."

As if she was already used to Fang Ark's behavior, Kal'tsit just patted his face lightly and called him to wake up in a flat tone. But how could Fang Ark, whose face was already intimately pressed against Kal'tsit's thigh, listen to Kal'tsit so easily and wake up?

"I can't. Either you pull me up, or I'll just lie here."

Kal'tsit took a bite of the apple speechlessly, looking at Fang Ark who was lying on her lap and acting like a naughty child, feeling like she was facing a naughty child.

Kal'tsit's legs were not plump, and there was no fleshy feeling when he rested his head on them. Although she didn't exercise often, the muscles in her thighs were still firm. However, when she didn't exert any force, these muscles felt soft when he rested his head on them. In addition, because they were exposed to the air, the cool touch of her thighs and the unique and refreshing fragrance of Kal'tsit lingering on his nose made Fang Ark feel a little drowsy.

Turn around, turn your head, and look up.

One-third of his vision was blocked by a semicircular object. Fang Zhou really wanted to use his hands to push it away, but if he really dared to do so, he would probably be judged by Kal'tsit in the next second.

By lightly shifting his gaze, he could see Kal'tsit's young fingers swiping across the phone, quickly browsing the messages on the phone.

"looking at what?"

"The Response of Various Countries to the Victoria Incident."

Kal'tsit answered calmly, but as Fang Ark's hair moved back and forth on his thighs, a slight tremor occasionally passed through his calm tone, which made Fang Ark smile wickedly.

He turned his head quickly again, but before he could do anything bad, a fair and soft hand dropped from the sky and pinched his nose.

"Hey, hey, hey, let go! This is so sad."

Patting the back of Kal'tsit's hand, Kal'tsit just snorted in response to Fang Ark's complaints.

"Excessive?"
