An Invitation from Rhodes Island / A Medical Exam Is Standard Hiring Procedure

Just then, the sound of camera shutters clicking came from the side.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and found a group of Elite Operator taking selfies around the logos that Suika had drawn on his face.

It seems that after today, Logos's prestige will likely be gone for quite some time.

Okay, everyone.

The guests are still standing here, don't delay them...

Although Amiya was urging them on, she couldn't suppress the smirk that appeared on her face when she saw the drawing of Logos' expression.

Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, she secretly took a picture of the logo on her personal terminal, then hurriedly put it away again.

Everyone watching this was pretending not to see it, which Suika found quite amusing.

"By the way, you're Ibuki Suika, right... How did you get Logos to drink with you?"

ACE leaned closer and asked curiously.

Logos has several defensive spells on him, but they just checked and none of them have been triggered.

Seeing ACE's eager expression Suika couldn't tell if he was eager to explore the spell or just wanted to drink.

But it didn't matter; under everyone's gaze, she took out the Ibuki Gourd.

"Just call me Suika... The full name sounds too formal."

The principle behind this is a bit hard to explain. If you want to understand, you can come and experience it for yourself...

A dozen seconds later, everyone stared in astonishment at the wine glasses in their hands. They could recall everything from when Suika took out the wine glass, poured wine for everyone, and then drank it all in one gulp.

These memories are perfectly valid, but it's important to know that some of the people present never drink alcohol.

But just now, everyone seemed to be bewitched and no one chose to refuse. Even Amiya unknowingly drank a glass of sweet fruit wine.

Everyone stared in shock at Suika, who shook the Ibuki Gourd, poured herself a cup, and stood there happily drinking Suika.

This bizarre and rapid mind control technique would be difficult even for that ruthless mind-controller in the Personnel Department.

It's important to know that the Elite Operator present are no pushovers, and PITH, for example, is a renowned magic master in Sarkaz.

But in that instant, even she was not spared.

Feeling the gazes around her Suika tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What? Want more?"

Upon hearing her words, everyone took two steps back and shook their heads in refusal.

It's daytime now, and during work hours. If Kal'tsit finds out that they're secretly drinking during work hours, the consequences... everyone couldn't help but shudder.

"Hmm, what are you all doing standing outside this gate? Didn't you say there was a new patient? Where is the patient?"

Just then, a chilling voice that sent shivers down the spines of all the operators present came from behind them.

The group quickly made way and saw the white-haired, cat-eared woman leading several Medical Department personnel over.

As she approached, Kal'tsit frowned slightly; the aroma of wine in the air was naturally not hidden from her nose.

But she trusted everyone on Rhodes Island, especially those on the battlefield, who were essentially the core of Rhodes Island. She believed these people wouldn't secretly drink... alcohol during work hours?

Just then, she saw Logos, completely drunk, not far away, and her expression faltered.

It's important to know that this heir to the Banshee Court, and also one of Rhodes Island's top magic masters, holds extremely high hopes for her.

She didn't even dare to imagine how the current Banshee Court would react if she knew her child had become a drunkard on Rhodes Island.

"What's going on?" Kal'tsit asked in an unfriendly tone.

Faced with her gaze, everyone fell silent.

Just then, Suika walked over.

"Kal'tsit, right... Looks like you're the boss's boss?"

We just arrived and didn't bring anything fancy. How about I offer you a drink?

After saying that, he took out a wine glass and filled Kal'tsit's glass...

Looking at the empty glass in her hand and feeling the taste of alcohol in her mouth, Kal'tsit fell silent for a moment.

What exactly is going on...?

How could I...?

Just as Kal'tsit was still struggling with her decision, she saw everyone hurriedly pulling away the girl who had suddenly appeared in front of her.

Recalling the series of events that had just transpired, this girl appeared before him and poured him a glass of wine.

Then...

I just drank it without thinking it was a given...

"What exactly is going on?"

Kal'tsit looked at PITH. With Logos drunk, this magic master who had been by her side since the Babel era was undoubtedly the person she could trust most at this moment.

Chapter 145 An Invitation from Rhodes Island

PITH touched her glasses; she had been observing Suika from the very beginning.

Especially after Na Ibuki Gourd, she began to analyze its secrets.

However, there's not much she can do in such a short time; she can only make some reasonable guesses based on everyone's reactions and her own feelings.

"It's a very magical spell, possessing the highly concealed characteristics of classic special spells and the unsolvable nature of being unable to find a correct countermeasure."

Traces of causal and time-related spells can be seen in it.

While this type of spell is powerful, it has significant limitations; it can only achieve its effect if certain requirements are met...

PITH quietly recounted his guess.

Suika, who was standing nearby, looked over.

"Hmm, is that what you mean?"

If you want to know, just ask me directly. It's not something to hide!

Suika raised the Ibuki Gourd in her hand and shook it.

Everyone looked over when they heard her words.

To be honest, they had seen many kinds of spells, but very few were as bizarre as this, to the point that they couldn't even resist. They had all planned to go back and study how they were affected, but they didn't expect Suika to bring it up on her own.

You should know that in their view, this spell, if used in a specific situation, is practically unsolvable.

For example, in assassination, you could sneak into a banquet and openly hand poison to your target, leaving them no room to resist or refuse. Wouldn't that be a sure-kill move?

Suika lifts the Ibuki Gourd

"My trick is called the art of making it impossible for someone to refuse when I invite them for a drink."

The core of the spell lies in the four words: inviting someone to drink.

For a spell to be considered successfully cast, all four requirements must be met.

The successful outcome, as the spell literally means, is that the recipient cannot refuse the drink.

After listening to Suika's words, PITH nodded. Suika's explanation was very accurate. Spells with certain rituals and rules are usually quite absurd.

If the conditions are not met, the spell will not be able to trigger any effect at all.

But once all the conditions are met, the completed ritual can make the spell almost invincible.

Suika's magic gave her a lot of inspiration.

Although her spell seems somewhat absurd, requiring four conditions to be met—an invitation, a human or humanoid being, drinking, and alcohol—it must be admitted that the seemingly powerful restrictions not only fail to become magical limitations but can actually be used to enhance the ritual.

She now has many ideas about this and will study them when she returns after this is over.

She glanced at Logos, who was still lost in a daze, and said, "You deserved to lose. If Suika hadn't mentioned the prerequisites for the spell herself, she wouldn't have known that this rather strange spell used such prerequisites to enhance its effect."

As Suika and the warlocks discussed the feasibility of using restrictions to enhance spells, Kal'tsit, standing to the side, felt that Suika looked somewhat familiar.

She was the type of person who, even though she had never met him, she felt she must know him.

As her gaze swept over the logos, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her, and she looked at Suika in shock.

"You're the Catastrophe Messenger named Suika who created the new Originium Inhibitor during the Reunion Movement?"

"Huh? Is that what Talulah said?"

It's true that I am Ibuki Suika, but I didn't create this potion, nor do I have the ability to do so.

However, I did know the person who created this potion, but she is no longer in this world.

Suika finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Kal'tsit opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

ACE, standing nearby, patted her shoulder sadly.

My condolences...

The others also felt downcast. How could they not feel regret that a doctor who could create such an excellent Originium Inhibitor was gone?

Seeing their sorrowful expressions Suika didn't know what to say.

After all, the person is truly no longer in Terra, but there's no need for excessive condolences. Given that physical condition, even if Terra were wiped out, the other person could still be alive and well.

"The world will still go on even if someone's gone, right? Why discuss such unlucky things? Look, those three little guys are the ones Xia Li asked me to deliver."

Seeing the atmosphere turn somber, Suika waved her hand in front of her.

"That's true... What we need is not to dwell on the past, but to inherit the will and legacy of our predecessors and continue on this path, so that more people can live happy lives."

After Kal'tsit finished speaking, she looked at Suika.

Welcome to Rhodes Island. I hope you have a wonderful time here.

You guys take Logos back to the dorm, and while you're at it, make him a bowl of hangover soup.

Everyone else, go back to your posts. As for you... come with me.

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the medical staff led the three children inside.

When Kal'tsit spoke, everyone dispersed and stopped blocking the entrance.

Amiya blinked and followed after seeing the two head towards Rhodes Island.

"Speaking of which, this guy's liquor is really strong. I haven't had such pure vodka in ages," Ace remarked after Kal'tsit left with Suika and Amiya.

"Vodka? What are you talking about? Isn't it ale?"

"No, I'm drinking fruit wine..."

As soon as ACE finished speaking, everyone immediately objected. Then everyone realized that although they clearly remembered that Suika poured the wine from a wine gourd, the wine they tasted was completely different.

"I think she gave different wines to each person based on their individual needs, although I don't know how she managed to use a single wine gourd to serve different things everywhere."

Could that thing be an Originium artifact or Arts Unit?

Someone spoke up to express their opinion.

After thinking about it, the others agreed with this explanation, since otherwise it would be impossible to explain how Suika could pour out different drinks.

At this moment, Suika followed Kal'tsit and Amiya to the Personnel Department.

"Personnel Department?" Suika looked at the signboard at the entrance with some curiosity.

"From the Reunion Movement to Flashgold Town, and then to Little Hill County and Karaton, your relationship with Rhodes Island has grown ever deeper."

Therefore, I hope that, if possible, we can cooperate more deeply...

Kal'tsit nodded to the person sitting at the very back, then sat down on a chair next to him before speaking.

"Oh? So you mean?"

"I believe you have some knowledge of Rhodes Island, so I invite you to become a member of Rhodes Island," Kal'tsit said, glancing at Amiya.

Suika was very tempted after hearing this, but she still had to politely decline.

"But I am already a Catastrophe Messenger, and my goal is to travel to every corner of Terra and record its customs and traditions. I cannot stay here for long..."

"It's alright, Miss Suika..."

Amiya's voice came from the side.

Suika turned her head to look over
