Afterward, through the chatter of the few, Kanna learned that the A1 Team members had been attacked during an outdoor mission not long ago. Fortunately, the Scout Team was nearby. After receiving their distress signal, they immediately rushed over, eliminated all the attackers, and rescued them.
Among the five, only Fang was shot in the leg by an arrow during the battle. Luckily, the arrow did not injure the bone. And Kroos, disregarding her own body when her teammates were in danger, continuously pulled the bowstring of her hand crossbow. Although she successfully forced the enemy back, buying time for the Scout Team's support, she also injured her fingers. After bandaging, the Doctor instructed her not to use the hand crossbow for a while.
As for Lava, after this incident, she reflected deeply and returned to Rhodes Island to find the Caster instructor to learn how to control Originium Arts. Hibiscus should be in the cafeteria preparing nutritious meals at this time.
Kanna patted her chest. "It's good that you're okay, but will anyone really eat Sister Hibiscus's nutritious meals...?"
"When you were here, you basically ate all the nutritious meals. Ever since you went on outdoor missions, as far as I know, some of those nutritious meals were sent to the sickbay, and others were sent to the brig. After all, while the taste is hard to describe, there's absolutely no problem with their nutritional value."
"Right, right, right. But there was a commotion earlier in the prisoner detention area. Those people who ate the nutritional meals said Rhodes Island was abusing prisoners..." As she said this, Fang couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing that none of the three were upset about their injuries, Kanna finally relaxed. "Don't worry, I learned a lot during this outing. I'll discuss it with Kaltsit later; perhaps everyone can bring more powerful equipment on future field missions! Then we won't be afraid of encountering danger."
"Alright, then we look forward to Kanna bringing us more good things!"
After bidding farewell to the three, Kanna walked to the Greenhouse. All along the way, she was pondering how she could help everyone more.
"Kanna! What are you thinking about?" Rosmontis saw Kanna first. Upon approaching, she noticed Kanna's thoughtful expression and asked curiously.
Kanna told them about meeting the three A1 Team members earlier. After finishing, Kanna continued, "Do you remember when you, Rosmontis, were attacked? At that time, I wondered if I could use my Originium Arts to help everyone. It wasn't until this trip to Iberia that Nian enlightened me. Now my Originium Arts are much stronger than before. I have an idea: to make the Electro Seed, which everyone can trigger, even stronger. However, how to store it for a longer duration still needs some research."
"You could ask the Caster instructor, Teacher Viktor. He has a deep understanding of various Originium Arts, and you might find the answer you're looking for from him." Amiya walked over from the side. She was well aware of the effects of Kanna's Electro Seed. If it could be preserved for a long time, then Rhodes Island could provide more safety guarantees for its field Operators. Therefore, she fully supported Kanna's idea.
Kanna nodded at Amiya, and then the group walked into the Greenhouse.
Amiya told Kanna about Rhodes Island's experiences over the past six months, especially about Magnemite, which had already been accepted by all Engineering Department Operators and Elite Operators.
This new generation of intelligent auxiliary machinery, publicly advertised, possessed an incredibly powerful talent for manipulating electricity. It had already become the darling of many Engineering Department Operators. Although its main body was not strong enough due to material limitations, its skills were quite effective.
Especially its powerful laser cannon, which already posed a threat to the lives of Elite Operators. Coupled with its unremarkable appearance, it could often assist Operators in ambushing enemies in urban and ruin battles, making combat much easier.
Kanna was also very happy to hear about the role Magnemite Workshop played for Rhodes Island.
"Do you still remember your big white wolf?" Amiya suddenly asked.
Kanna clapped her hands; she had completely forgotten. Not long after she left, she had taken in a large white wolf and named it "Mona." At the time, she thought she would be back in three months at most, but she ended up staying out for almost a whole year this time.
"You mean Mona? What happened to her?" Kanna felt a little guilty recalling it.
"In the beginning, Mo... Mona, right? Mona wouldn't let anyone near her. Coupled with her wild nature, we could only keep her confined.
It wasn't until a month later that Penguin Logistics delivered an Infected girl named Lappland. When she arrived, she had just experienced an acute oripathy flare-up, but she was saved by Doctor Warfarin.
She was planning to leave after waking up, but she coincidentally met Mona. We discovered that Mona, who had always rejected strangers, didn't reject her. So, after being persuaded by Miss Texas of Penguin Logistics, Miss Lappland agreed to stay at Rhodes Island, but Mona would be under her care.
Not long ago, she took Mona with her when she went on a mission and hasn't returned yet, so..."
Kanna was surprised. Good heavens, the big white wolf she had painstakingly 'kidnapped' had been 'cuckolded' by another white wolf... But then she thought, her original 'recruitment' of it was also out of interest. After all, it would be too much of a waste to kill such a beautiful big white wolf. Moreover, Rhodes Island also believed that this white wolf was useful for the treatment and research of oripathy, which is why it was sent back to Rhodes Island.
"Speaking of which, has the Medical Department researched anything from Mona?" Kanna asked, recalling the matter.
"I'll answer that question! Long time no see, Kanna-chan!" Perfumer, who had just entered the room, reached out and stroked Kanna's hair before continuing,
"At the time, we were indeed pleasantly surprised that this white wolf, despite having a severe oripathy infection, wasn't greatly affected. Through observation and testing, we found that it expelled excess Originium particles from its body through its fur, thereby maintaining a relatively stable Originium level within its body.
The Medical Department, in conjunction with the Originium Arts Department, conducted in-depth research on this phenomenon and concluded that it was feasible. However, the fur of creatures using this method would grow based on the rate of Originium increase within their bodies. Because Originium particles are linked to the fur, the entire creature's fur would grow exceptionally rapidly and densely. Coupled with the unique nature of these hairs, it would be impossible for them to live with normal people, as a single fallen hair, if accidentally ingested by someone else, could potentially create a new Infected person.
Therefore, this plan was temporarily shelved and is currently only applied to acutely Infected individuals whose Originium concentration is rapidly increasing and who are unable to control it."
