Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 241 Rhine Life and Yan Nation Dragon Gate

The border area between Victoria and Leithania is a defensive inner circle that stretches for thousands of kilometers.

This vast area is the domain of the Duke of Windermere, who, as one of Victoria's most powerful Grand Dukes, is responsible for maintaining the security of the border region between Victoria and Leithania.

The news that Kazdel was going to establish a country spread throughout Victoria. As the country with the strongest comprehensive strength in the core circle, Victoria needed to respond to this.

As the king's position was temporarily vacant, the parliament consulted the dukes. The Duke of Wellington did not respond, the Duke of Castor clearly refused, and the Duke of Normandy said he could not go due to something.

Several of the most powerful grand dukes expressed their refusal openly or secretly, and the other dukes shirked the responsibility. In the end, it was Duke Windermere who took the initiative to step forward and accept the mission to Kazdel.

Since the end of the Kazdel Civil War and the beginning of steady development, Leitania's defense strength in the direction of the Victoria border has been reduced a little. Duke Windermere guessed that it was used to guard against the direction of Kazdel.

After all, two hundred years ago, the Elector of Leitania had invaded Kazdel. Although Victoria had done the same, it was Leitania that bordered Kazdel's territory.

After accepting the mission to Kazdel, Duke Windermere handed over the command of the army to his two lieutenants and arranged a plan to deal with emergencies.

The Duke of Windermere, who had prepared everything, put on a thick coat, hung a saber on his waist, waved goodbye to his subordinates, and boarded the military off-road vehicle.

"Your Excellency the Duke, I wish you a safe journey." The two lieutenants stood upright in front of the gate, took off their hats to salute, and respectfully bid farewell to their superiors.

The escort convoy left the Duke's Palace in a mighty procession, and Victoria officials set off for Kazdel.

......

Colombia Mobile City Tremont The Tin Man leaned against a lamppost with one hand in his pocket, holding a pipe in his right hand. After a wave of top smoke passed through his lungs, he leisurely exhaled a smoke ring in the shape of a little man.

The Tin Man was waiting for someone. The official Columbian convoy that was invited to visit Kazdel had already set off earlier.

However, the Rhine Life staff who applied to go to Kazdel together on the grounds of technical exchange were rarely late, especially when the team leader was Director Saria.

Just as the Tin Man was sighing, a huge off-road vehicle with a sturdy appearance stopped steadily in front of him, with the Rhine Life logo printed on the door.

"Mr. Tin Man, we're very sorry, we're late." The passenger window rolled down, and Hemer's apologetic face peeked out. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat of varying sizes, and a few strands of hair were stuck on it.

She took too much research equipment with her before going out and missed the agreed time.

"It's just a small problem. If we drive faster, we can catch up soon." The Tin Man blew a few puffs of black smoke into his pipe, made sure the sparks were out, and then sat in the back seat.

"Oh... I didn't expect there was a banshee traveling with us. I'm a little surprised."

"My name is Nastie Runorei, and I hope you can give me your guidance along the way." As a member of the Sarkaz Banshee Court, Nastie saw through the identity of the Tin Man, a Sarkaz dead soul hidden under his metal body.

After receiving the call from the Tin Man, Saria restarted the car, boarded the lift platform, and left the city into the wilderness.

This high-performance monster, newly developed from the engineering department's laboratory, is the means of transportation for the Rhine Life trio on this long journey.

The tin man sitting in the back row took the initiative to chat with the young banshee, "Miss Nastie, when did you leave Kazdel?"

"When the two princes declared civil war..."

"Is it hard for a person to work hard outside?"

"Fortunately, no one dares to bully me because they can't beat me."

"Haha... that's very much like us Sarkaz people."

......

The two of them chatted intermittently, and Nasti was obviously a little reserved. Most of the time, it was the Tin Man who asked questions and she answered them.

Driving her performance monster, Seria quickly caught up with the Colombian official team that had set off earlier, but she clearly missed a problem.

That is, you cannot trust too much in the reliability of laboratory products that have not been tested for durability and stability.

When the SUV was about halfway through the journey, it broke down due to engine failure. Since Rhine Life used a new type of Originium engine, the official team had no parts to repair it.

Saria looked back at the large and small experimental tool boxes that filled the rear space of the car, then looked at the three people in the car and sighed helplessly.

Although this car represents years of hard work by colleagues in the engineering department, it can no longer be repaired.

She had no choice but to abandon the experimental car in the wilderness, squeeze into the official fleet, and buy a new car in the next town.

The Tin Man called out to Saria and said that his magic could help solve the problem.

"Ms. Saria, let's change positions and let me drive the vehicle." The Tin Man sat in the driver's seat and gripped the steering wheel with both hands.

Black smoke poured out from the cracks in the Tin Man's metal body and rushed into the SUV.

The huge wheels started turning again, and the Tin Man used the power of dead souls to replace the damaged engine, easily driving this multi-ton steel monster at an even faster speed than before.

Saria looked at the tin man who was controlling the steering wheel with one hand in surprise. After thinking for a moment, she turned to Nas and asked, "Ms. Nasti, are all you Sarkaz like this? Possessing all kinds of strange abilities..."

“Mr. Tin Man and I are both special branches of the Sarkaz. Ordinary Sarkaz are no different from people of other races.” Nasti shook her head and explained softly.

"I see... Are all the Sarkaz Demon Kings selected from these special branches?"

"......" Nasti did not answer Saria's question. She knew the answer but didn't want to say it.

"Ms. Saria, please don't ask too much about the Sarkaz. Isn't the purpose of Rhine Life this time to exchange technology?"

The Tin Man rescued the silent Nasti and temporarily dispelled Saria's curiosity about the Demon King's inheritance method.

In fact, to be honest, the Tin Man and Nasti were not clear about the inheritance rules of the Demon King, and they never thought that there would be two Demon Kings.

They also have to think carefully along the way about how to meet the Demon King after returning.

......

Compared with the long journey with Columbia officials and Rhine Life, it is very convenient to travel to Kazdel from Yan Country Longmen.

You just need to move forward along the path created by the land cruiser's metal tracks, and if nothing unexpected happens on the way, you can arrive in two days.

Longmen Guard Bureau Chen Huijie submitted a business trip application form to the director, took off his police uniform and equipment, and left the office with only his standard long sword and Chi Xiao.

"Fenchanglong, you are going on a business trip again." A blonde and blue-eyed film woman raised her head and asked Chen Huijie who was passing by her workstation.

"Please call me by my name, Officer Shi Huaiya."

"You!!!" Officer Filin, whose name was Shi Huaiya, was a little angry for a moment, but her good manners suppressed her anger.

"Okay, Officer Chen, where are you going on this business trip?"

"Kazdel." Chen Huijie answered Shi Huaiya's question concisely, then opened the door and left.

"Go to Kazdel again? What's so worthy of your visit there?"

Shortly after Chen Huijie left Longmen Guard Bureau, a convoy of five off-road vehicles left Longmen and headed towards Kazdel.
