Transforming into Kanna on Terra

After hearing Ilena's words, Kanna put her hands on her hips, lifted her head, and puffed out her chest, looking like she wanted praise.

Seeing her like this, Dasohan didn't know what to say. He could only nod, "We'll be careful. But how long will that magic at sea last?"

"Until tomorrow morning!" Kanna said crisply.

Dasohan watched the lightning storm continuously falling over the sea, feeling a sense of bewilderment. After all, even a fool could tell that this was no ordinary thunderstorm, but a natural disaster with a specific range and effect.

Did the other party dare to expose themselves so boldly? Weren't they afraid of being captured and studied?

But then he thought again, they really didn't have to be afraid. Since they could conjure a natural disaster, if they were pushed too far, this disaster might fall upon him, or any city in Iberia.

Kal'tsit also considered this.

For individuals capable of causing natural disasters, all countries wanted to recruit them, but no country wanted to provoke them.

Because the cost of defeating someone who could conjure a natural disaster would be too high, and defeating them would bring no benefit to their own country. It was better to maintain good relations than to make an enemy, and perhaps they could even gain their help and support at some point.

Later, during his conversation with Ilena, Dasohan broke out in a cold sweat. This seemingly simple and honest little one could not only conjure natural disasters but also move through them as if they were nothing. Furthermore, she had single-handedly repelled a nearly hundred-meter-long Great Beast in its own domain, the ocean.

And the giant lightning dragon they saw in the distance was also created by her.

In that case, even if he harbored ill intentions, he and the entire Inquisition behind him probably wouldn't last until the reinforcements arrived.

"I know you have bad intentions towards Kanna, but Kanna isn't afraid!"

Dasohan's eyes darted around, his expression shifting rapidly, how could Kanna not notice? But she wasn't scared at all.

"Uh! Ahahaha... Kanna helped Iberia so much, how could Uncle have bad intentions towards Kanna... Ahahahaha... Uncle was just thinking about what kind of reward Kanna should receive for such a great contribution."

Hearing Kanna's words, Dasohan couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. This mischievous child had sharp eyes. He immediately thought about how to make Kanna let down her guard.

"Reward! Is there food?" Kanna's eyes lit up at the mention of a reward. She had eaten here a few times since arriving in Iberia. The style was indeed very different from Victoria and Leithanien, but the taste was quite good, so Kanna's appetite was whetted again.

"Are you hungry? It's normal to be hungry after such a big battle. I'll have someone cook right away!" Hearing that Kanna wanted to eat, Dasohan immediately agreed.

Soon, a fire was lit nearby, and food began to be cooked.

Kanna sniffed. Compared to the exquisite food in restaurants, this army-style communal cooking was less appealing in appearance, but its taste and nutrition were far superior to ordinary food.

Kanna was not picky. She squatted beside the large pot, her eyes fixed on the food, holding a basin larger than her face, waiting for the food to be ready.

Seeing that Kanna's attention was captured by the food, Dasohan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ilena walked to Dasohan's side, "I advise you not to treat Kanna as a child."

Dasohan turned his head to look at the sea, "Do you see that thing out at sea? After I knew she made it, I told myself that she is someone who deserves our serious attention. However, her appearance is too deceptive. Even though I know she's unusual, I can't help but treat her like a child."

Ilena remained noncommittal. Along the way, she had also often treated Kanna as an ordinary, gluttonous child. But every time she felt helpless, Kanna would always provide the right help. This feeling made her very uncomfortable.

"Another bowl!" Kanna, holding her basin, ran to the large pot again, much to the astonishment of the nearby cook, after quickly finishing the food in her basin.

"Regardless, Kanna is the great hero who saved Rock Bay Town and prevented the townspeople from suffering greater disaster. We Iberians are not the kind of people who abandon others after they've helped. Send the situation here to 'Saint.' He knows that Kal'tsit, so the rewards for these two will be handled personally by 'Saint'."

Dasohan said after some thought.

At this moment, Kanna, not far away, nodded. Although she initially had a trace of hostility towards this muscular middle-aged man, his actions now could be considered those of a true soldier.

Of course, whether this meal contributed to her change in attitude was unknown.

After eating more than half of the pot of food, Kanna finally stopped, satisfied. The reason wasn't that she had eaten enough, but that a dragon always needed to leave some room. Besides, there were many wounded and exhausted soldiers in the Lighthouse who needed food. It would be immoral for her to eat it all herself.

Before leaving, she scooped a small basin of food and walked to the seaside. Skadi was patrolling the coastline, dealing with any Sea Creatures that were still alive, fully embodying the spirit of leaving no survivors.

Kanna brought the food to her, "Skadi, it's time to eat!"

Looking at the basin of food stuck on Kanna's dragon horns, Skadi nodded silently and took it.

"Um, Skadi..."

???

Skadi tilted her head, looking at Kanna, who seemed hesitant about what she wanted to say.

"The battle is over, why are you still wearing sunglasses? Aren't you having trouble seeing clearly?" Although Skadi's clothes were a bit messy and stained with the blood of Sea Creatures, the wide hat and the sunglasses beneath it were very noticeable.

Hearing Kanna's words, Skadi looked enlightened. She wondered why her vision felt so limited. She had almost stepped into a pit on the beach earlier; it turned out she had forgotten to take off her sunglasses.

Chapter 131, Chapter 124: An Unexpected Encounter with a Little Bird

It wasn't until the sky began to darken that Kal'tsit emerged from the Lighthouse.

Guided by Ilena, she arrived beside two people, one large and one small, plastered with notes, almost unrecognizable.

These two people covered in notes were Kanna and Skadi.

After eating, Kanna and Skadi swept the beach again, confirming that no Sea Creatures were alive. Seeing Skadi standing by the sea, lost in thought, Kanna suggested they play rock-paper-scissors. The winner would stick a note on the loser—the notes were provided by Dasohan (he had suggested it and given them a large book of blank paper when he saw Kanna frowning and thinking about the loser's punishment).

Skadi thought about it and agreed. Then, until Kal'tsit came out, the two of them were engaged in this activity, which was originally meant for amusement.

"Sigh!" Even with the fatigue from the day's surgeries, Kal'tsit felt that it was nothing compared to the mental exhaustion she felt upon seeing the two in front of her.

"Let's pack up! We've done all we can for Rock Bay Town. There's still a lot to do for Rhodes Island, so we need to go back," Kal'tsit said after composing herself.

"Now?" Kanna asked, looking at the moon hanging in the sky.

"Of course, tomorrow! Ilena has already prepared a resting room for us. Go take a bath and get a good night's sleep. We'll leave tomorrow morning."

Unable to hold back, Kal'tsit finally flicked Kanna on the forehead.

After a bathing scene that couldn't be written, They finally slept soundly after arriving in Rock Bay Town.

The next morning, Kal'tsit informed Dasohan and Ilena's group of their intention to leave. The two, who were already prepared, nodded. However, because Rock Bay Town was heavily surrounded by Iberia's army at the moment, Ilena and Dasohan discussed it and decided that the former would continue to follow Kal'tsit's group.

This time, it wasn't for surveillance. Without Inquisitors accompanying them, the vehicles simply couldn't leave Rock Bay Town.

As they were about to leave the town, Dona stood by the roadside and waved at the vehicles. Two members of the Inquisition were with her.

Upon seeing this, Ilena said, "Although Dona claims she hasn't been corrupted by the Sea Creatures, you all know how terrifying those monsters are. Dona will be under the Inquisition's surveillance for the foreseeable future. However, I promise that given her outstanding contributions in this battle, after basic screening, the Inquisition's surveillance will only be conducted in secret and will not affect her normal life."

Dona didn't seem unhappy about Ilena's words, as if she already knew. She smiled and nodded at the group, then bowed to Kanna.

"I owe my survival to your wholehearted protection, Kanna. I will always remember this kindness. Iberia is not a country that rejects others, and Rock Bay Town warmly welcomes all of you for a visit. When you come to Rock Bay Town next time, we will welcome you with the most enthusiastic attitude and service."

After bidding farewell, the convoy disappeared down the road under Dona's wave.

After leaving the town, everyone saw tens of thousands of Iberian soldiers standing densely along the roadside outside the town.

There were heavy checkpoints in the middle of the road. If they tried to break through, the only outcome would be death.

Ilena said, "Except for Dasohan and his Inquisition, who were the first to enter the city, all the armies that were mobilized have been secretly stationed outside the city after receiving the news that the Sea Creatures had retreated. First, it was to prevent any Abyssal Cultists from escaping secretly, and second, in case the Sea Creatures returned, the armies hiding behind would immediately launch a full-scale attack, giving them a fierce blow and letting them know that even though Iberia's glory is no more, it is not a country or creature that can be bullied casually."

Hearing her explanation, everyone suddenly understood. The Lighthouse Keeper had said that the surrounding armies had already surrounded Rock Bay Town, but only Dasohan's team entered the city yesterday. It turned out they were all hidden outside.

At this moment, the vehicle drove up to the checkpoint. Ilena opened the car door and got out, starting a conversation with an Inquisitor standing in front of the checkpoint.

"Good morning, Grand Inquisitor Dario."

"Good morning, Inquisitor Ilena."

After exchanging greetings, Dario looked at the vehicles behind Ilena.

"Inside the car are the heroes of this mission, Doctor Kal'tsit from Rhodes Island and her subordinates, Miss Skadi and little sister Kanna. They are preparing to leave Iberia after the great battle. According to the orders of His Excellency Saint Carmen, I am responsible for escorting them. This is Grand Inquisitor Dasohan's departure permit."

Under the watchful eyes of the people around, Ilena took out the permit given to her by Dasohan from her pocket.

Dario nodded, took the permit, and did not check it.

"Dasohan and I just contacted each other. He knew you would be passing through here, which is why I came personally. However, we still need to inspect the entire vehicle. I hope everyone can understand, after all, those monsters from the Deep Sea are insidious."

Under Ilena's guidance, everyone got out of the car, and then several Inquisitors began to scan the vehicles with instruments.

Soon, they walked over.

"Report to the Chief Inspector, the vehicle is normal."

Dario nodded upon hearing this. "Then I won't delay your journey. Elinni, open the gate!"

As Dario shouted, the closed gate behind him opened, revealing an exit to the outside.

After bidding farewell, the group got back into the car and drove out.

As Kanna got into the car, she looked around. Hearing the conversation between the two, Kanna remembered this serious-looking man and his disciple, the Swift Swordmaster · Wandering Gunner · Samira · Elinni.

Kanna was looking around because she wanted to see what the little bird looked like now.

Unfortunately, perhaps because she was too small, she was blocked by the burly men around her. Kanna didn't see that flash of silver until they left.

"What are you looking for?" Kal'tsit, who was driving, felt a headache from Kanna's fidgeting in the car.

"Ahaha, it's nothing. I just always feel like someone around here has a connection with Rhodes Island, but I couldn't find them." Unable to find Elinni, Kanna slumped back onto the seat in her usual relaxed posture.

"Besides the Inquisition, there are only people from the Punishment Army and the National Defense Army around here..." Kal'tsit only said half of her sentence, wanting to remind Kanna not to speak carelessly, as there was still an Inquisitor in the car.

"So what? Life is unpredictable, and there will always be different experiences. Besides, even if they are soldiers now, they won't be forever. What if they get the Originium infection? And speaking of which, Rhodes Island's treatment is affordable and of good quality. With the favor we've shown this time, if we let Iberia purchase some of our things and make a little money, they wouldn't refuse, would they?"

Chapter 132, Chapter 125: I Am the Unbound Wind, and Also the Unsettled Thunder

A week later, the vehicle arrived at a familiar town. This was where Kal'tsit and Kanna had met "Saint Carmen."

As Kal'tsit had predicted, they encountered her in the town.

"Thank you for your help in Rock Bay Town this time, Your Excellency Kal'tsit." Carmen stood steadily like an ageless pine, giving people a sense of security.

"Everyone worked hard to defeat those monsters from the sea." Seeing Carmen's appearance and surveying the surroundings, Kal'tsit felt a slight sense of caution. Based on her understanding of the other party, even if she came, she wouldn't bring so many people.

"I know that, of course. But through the reports from Ilena and the Lighthouse Keeper, the main contributor this time is this little one!" Carmen looked at Kanna, who was next to her, gnawing on a chicken wing that had been handed to her.

"Whatcha want? Wanna praise me?" Kanna's words were muffled as she ate.

"Of course. Little one, what do you think of Iberia?" Carmen crouched down and looked at Kanna with a kind smile.

"It's okay. It has all sorts of delicacies. It's a good place." Considering the fact that she was eating someone's food, Kanna thought for a moment and said some nice things.

"Then what do you think about living in Iberia permanently?" Hearing Kanna's praise, Carmen revealed her true intentions.

Kanna glanced at Kal'tsit and found her expression calm, as if she were indifferent to Carmen's attempt to poach her.

Huh?

Hearing Carmen's question, Kanna came back to her senses and sighed, "Forget it! I like to travel around. Looking at the same scenery all the time will get boring."

With that, Kanna glanced at the people subtly surrounding her group and understood a little. She continued, "My grandmother always said that the wind is unbound and the thunder is unfixed. I don't like being controlled."

Before she finished speaking, Kanna suddenly disappeared from Carmen's sight and reappeared with a whistling wind, holding a fruit and handing it to Carmen.

"The last time I came here, Kal'tsit bought fruit from this stall. It tasted good."

Looking at the fruit in front of him, Carmen's pupils contracted violently. He knew that fruit stall was about half a street, more than 500 meters away. The fresh appearance clearly showed it had just been brought from that stall.

In less than the time it takes for half a breath, the girl in front of him had already run a kilometer back and forth.

Her meaning was also very clear: his group couldn't keep her here.

Carmen couldn't help but show a wry smile. He didn't want to go through with this, but unfortunately, both the Congress and the Church had many people eyeing Kanna covetously. In their eyes, Rhodes Island, a mere pharmaceutical company, was not qualified to possess a weapon like Kanna, who could unleash a Catastrophe.

Thinking that if others came, their already good relationship would instantly turn into enmity, it was better for him to come himself. At least, with his friendship with Kal'tsit, perhaps the situation wouldn't be so dire.

However, it seemed the other party's answer was very firm. With the speed Kanna had displayed, if his group angered her, not only would they be unable to keep her, but the losses would also be considerable.

Carmen sighed, then waved his hand, signaling the surrounding members of the Inquisition to disperse.

"I'm sorry, Kal'tsit!"

Kal'tsit nodded. "I expected this, but do you think I would dare let Kanna act without considering the possibility of this situation..."

"I know, but unfortunately, many people are still mesmerized by Kanna's combat power. If they were to come, it would inevitably cause bloodshed here. It's better that I came. At least I think I, as a 'Saint,' should still have some influence in Iberia." Carmen was also somewhat helpless about this.

When he received the news, he already knew that Kanna couldn't be kept in Iberia. However, his comrades had been relentlessly pursuing Kanna, which was why he stood here personally.

"Since Kanna doesn't wish to stay in Iberia, we won't force her. However, her contributions to Rock Bay Town are indelible. Therefore, I have specially prepared the title of Honorary Viscount. I hope Kanna, you can accept it."

Carmen made a hooking motion with his hand, and an Inquisitor carrying a box walked up. Carmen opened the box, which contained a certificate and a medal.

Kanna looked up at Kal'tsit. She nodded slightly before reaching out and taking the box.

Seeing their actions, Carmen sighed somewhat. It seemed Kanna and Kal'tsit's bond was very deep (actually it was Rhodes Island). He could only say that heaven did not bless Iberia. If he had met Kanna before Rhodes Island, he would have been confident in keeping her. But now, he could only watch her leave.

"According to the reports from Rock Bay Town, Kal'tsit, you and the Operators from Rhodes Island have made enormous contributions to resisting the attacks from the Deep Sea. Through a joint resolution of the Congress and the Church, starting today, Iberia will regard Rhodes Island as a friendly merchant association. Rhodes Island Operators can use this status to enter and exit Iberia freely without application.

Furthermore, Rhodes Island is permitted to sell pharmaceuticals and rent housing in all towns within Iberia. All towns will give your business applications a green light."
