It turned out that the man standing in front of him was a staunch supporter of Lu Nian’s shocking experiment back then! Who could have thought that Lu Nian would completely lose control later?
"Captain Hua, were you really unaware of Lu Nian's little tricks at the time?" Someone couldn't help but ask this question.
At this moment, Hua Zhanhong felt mixed emotions and was extremely conflicted. His eyes revealed endless regret and self-blame. Looking back, he did not think carefully or take all factors into consideration when he ordered Lu Nian to terminate the experiment. It was precisely because of this negligence that Lu Nian was able to continue the experiment without his knowledge and eventually went astray.
"Alas, it is true. If I had been able to handle these complicated matters properly at the beginning, perhaps the subsequent series of tragic events would not have happened at all..." Hua Zhanhong sighed heavily, and the regret in his words was beyond words. However, time cannot be reversed, and many things have already been settled. No matter how much regret and annoyance there is, it will no longer help.
Zizhou fell silent at this time. He felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to express his thoughts. After all, the experiment conducted by Hua Zhanhong was, to some extent, indeed based on considerations for the country's future. Although some deviations may have occurred in this experiment later, it is undeniable that Huazhanhong's original intention has always been based on the interests of the people.
After a while, Zizhou suddenly seemed to remember something and asked another question: "Then...what about the families of the mages who were hurt by Lu Nian?"
Hua Zhanhong took a deep breath and replied slowly, "I have already arranged for someone to properly handle the families of these victims. For those who have the potential to become mages, our army will provide strong support and training; and for those who cannot embark on the path of mages, we will also try our best to find suitable job opportunities for them to ensure that they can have a stable source of income and live a carefree life. In short, we will do our best to take care of every affected family."
After hearing Hua Zhanhong's detailed arrangements, Zizhou's originally tense nerves relaxed a little. However, his thoughts soon drifted to another person who made him worried - Mo Fan.
"Then what should we do with Mo Fan? Although his demon system seems to be a successful example, I can clearly sense that this power is likely to backfire on Mo Fan himself!" Zizhou frowned and looked at Hua Zhanhong with worry on his face.
Hua Zhanhong's expression suddenly became serious. He sighed softly and said helplessly, "Regarding Mo Fan's situation, to be honest, I really didn't expect Lu Nian to complete the development of the demon system so quickly, and successfully conduct experiments on Mo Fan. Now it seems that we must pay close attention to Mo Fan's condition and find a way to control the negative effects that the demon system power may bring, to ensure his safety and health."
"Actually, the reason I came here this time is that I sincerely hope to use your extraordinary abilities to help us successfully complete this new magic research experiment." Hua Zhanhong said sincerely.
When Zizhou heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and responded quickly. He did not rush to ask the reason, but calmly asked: "Then may I ask, what is the basis for supporting this idea?"
At this moment, Hua Zhanhong stared closely at Zizhou's eyes, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said slowly: "It's because of the elemental affinity you possess!"
After this reminder, Zizhou suddenly remembered that when he was identified at the Magic Association, he was found to have an innate and extremely rare talent - elemental affinity. This kind of talent is what many magicians dream of. After all, it not only poses no hindrance or burden to the advancement of magic, but can also significantly enhance the power of magic to a certain extent.
Zizhou pondered secretly, recalling the mission he was responsible for, and thinking that the research in front of him might indeed be related to it. After careful consideration, he finally nodded, indicating that he agreed with Hua Zhanhong's proposal.
It's just that he needs to participate in the national competition now. Even though he was injured this time, Zizhou tried to mobilize his magic power when he woke up just now, and found that there was no stagnation in his body. Moreover, the crystal stone appeared in his sea of consciousness, and seemed to be still operating continuously and connected with his sea of consciousness. With this crystal, Zizhou also believed that he could be competent in this new magic research. He has also reached the third level of high-level ice element. If the fourth system can break through to the super level with the help of this national government competition, perhaps it can try a new system.
"Okay, sure, but not now. I have to finish participating in the National Government Tournament first. After that, you can start trying the fourth system on me. I have some knowledge of this magic research, so maybe I can give you better advice."
Hua Zhanhong was very surprised when he heard this. He had already prepared for Zizhou's refusal, but who knew that Zizhou did not refuse.
In this way, Zizhou and Hua Zhanhong made an agreement, and Hua Zhanhong left not long after staying. As the head of the national army, he could not leave the place he was guarding for a long time to prevent higher-level demons from attacking human cities.
Zizhou only stayed for a short while at the resting place before leaving in a hurry, because time was extremely tight for him at the moment and he urgently needed to return to the team to participate in the training. When returning with Teacher Feng Li, Zizhou learned from him the whole story of the strange bird attack on everyone. It turned out that after an in-depth investigation, Ai Jiangtu and others discovered that it was a local indigenous ethnic group in Peru that stole the gems cherished by the strange bird. Because of this, the strange bird has been searching for the lost gem. And just at that time, Ai Jiangtu and his group of strangers happened to step into that mysterious realm. As a result, the strange birds naturally cast their suspicious eyes towards them, always believing that it was Ai Jiangtu and his group who took the gems. Fortunately, the gems were finally found, which calmed the anger of the strange birds and resolved the crisis.
After hearing this, Zizhou also felt that they were wronged, but there are always unexpected things in life, just big or small.
However, according to mentor Feng Li, Peru was almost disqualified from the National Government Competition this time. In order to appease China's anger, Peru compensated those who had trained them. It was said that the compensation was 100 million yuan per person. However, this is because Peru is not rich, otherwise, China would not have let this matter go.
