Amidst the roar of the helicopters, Kaltsit and Amiya Squad arrived above Kanna and her companions as night fell.
"Tsk! Helicopters, I'm so envious. We ran all day, and they just flew here in an instant." Looking at the slowly descending helicopter, Kanna expressed extreme envy, as flying in the air was clearly much more interesting than boring car rides.
"This ship only has a few helicopters. Two came this time, which shows how important this matter is."
"I say, Nian, can you make something like this?"
"Huh? What are you thinking? My specialty is forging; this thing is mostly mechanical, it doesn't align with my skills!"
Nian pouted after hearing Kanna's whimsical idea during their conversation.
"Don't we have someone in our team who's good with machines? Yuki can make drones, right? Yuki, you design a helicopter, and then we'll DIY one?"
Kanna disagreed after hearing Nian's words. We have a mechanical prodigy, Yuki, in our team, plus her, a forging master. Can't we make a helicopter?
Upon hearing Kanna's wild idea, Yuki shook her head repeatedly in fright. A helicopter requires a lot of technology. If it were just a model or a small drone, she could try her best, but for such an aerial monster capable of carrying so many people and tons of weight, please forgive her, she truly was not capable.
"Are there few Operators on Rhodes Island who can build drones? But why does Rhodes Island still only have these few helicopters? Don't just act on a whim. The technology between drones and helicopters cannot be solved by one or two Operators."
At this moment, Kaltsit had already descended and landed beside them. After hearing Kanna's fanciful idea, Kaltsit flicked Kanna's forehead.
Kanna regretfully put her idea aside and followed Kaltsit to her mount, Mona.
The sudden appearance of helicopters and humans made Mona a bit nervous, but after Kanna approached and patted her face, Mona lay back down on the ground.
Kaltsit walked next to Mona, and her eyes couldn't help but show surprise. After all, she had never seen such a large giant wolf, completely pure white without a single speck of impurity.
She bent down and gently stroked Mona's fur once, then carefully pulled out some wolf hair and kneaded it in her hand. The familiar sensation told her that the news Folinic and Anto had sent back earlier was correct: the giant wolf's fur was rich in Originium crystals.
At this moment, Amiya Squad had also disembarked from the helicopter. When everyone arrived beside the giant wolf, they couldn't help but exclaim at the sight of the enormous silver wolf, which appeared incredibly huge even when lying down.
"Is this what we're escorting?!" Amiya asked in shock, looking at the giant wolf, which was as docile as a puppy under Kanna's hand.
"Yes, this giant wolf holds many unsolved mysteries and could potentially advance the treatment of oripathy. So, upon its discovery, we immediately contacted Rhodes Island." Folinic explained the afternoon's battle and Kanna's unexpected find to Amiya.
"Speaking of which, Kanna truly lives up to her reputation as Rhodes Island's lucky star. Ever since she arrived, Rhodes Island has steadily improved..." Recalling when Kanna first came to Rhodes Island, the organization was struggling, relying on working for major nations and assisting in disaster relief to gain social aid and improve its reputation.
Rhodes Island now is vastly better than it was then. Coupled with the immense prestige gained from the Chernobog battle, Rhodes Island can proudly say it is a well-known organization far and wide.
"Indeed!" Amiya also couldn't help but sigh. In the past year, Rhodes Island has made rapid progress, transforming from an ordinary small organization into a minor organization with a certain international standing.
On the other side, after calming the giant wolf, Kanna personally led it to the side of the aircraft.
"Kaltsit, Mona is my mount. I'm only lending her to you for medical research. I won't allow her to have even the slightest problem when I return, okay?"
Before boarding the helicopter, Kanna spoke solemnly to Kaltsit. After all, everyone was well aware of the unsavory experiments conducted by various organizations to find a cure for oripathy. These were even carried out on humans; if applied to beasts, the actions of these people would be even more brutal and cruel. Although Rhodes Island was considered the most gentle of these organizations, there was no guarantee that radical individuals wouldn't do something rash for results.
Regarding this white wolf, since Kanna chose to take it as her mount, she had to ensure its safety, which is why she specifically reminded Kaltsit at this moment.
"Don't worry. This research will be led by Warfarin. You know her character; although she's as unreliable as you usually, she is absolutely impeccable in her medical skills and ethics."
"Alright then, tell Warfarin that if Mona tells me Warfarin mistreated her when I return, I'll invite her for a ride on a giant Ferris wheel!"
Although Kaltsit wasn't leading, Warfarin had a more prominent reputation in the medical field. Moreover, compared to Kaltsit, who was distracted by various matters, Warfarin, who focused solely on oripathy and blood research, was indeed the best research team leader within Rhodes Island.
And although Warfarin was a Blood Demon, she hadn't shown any craving for other blood besides the Doctor's. Compared to others, she indeed made Kanna feel more at ease.
"Doctor Kaltsit is a good person; she won't hurt you. This is a helicopter; it won't eat you. You go with Doctor Kaltsit to Rhodes Island, and I'll be back!" Kanna-chan chattered into the giant wolf's ear, then transmitted her words into its mind through telepathy.
After getting off the helicopter, Kanna-chan pointed to it and said, "Mona is someone I just captured, so her wildness is definitely considerable. I'm not sure if she'll become uncontrollable if she's away from me, so I'll leave her to you!"
Pointing to the giant wolf now obediently lying inside the helicopter, Kanna-chan said to Kaltsit, as she didn't believe she had such high charm to make the giant wolf wholeheartedly submit to her in such a short time.
"I was prepared for this. Open the air circulation inside the plane and inject anesthetic," Kaltsit instructed an Operator nearby with an "I knew it all along" expression.
Accompanied by a puff of white smoke, the giant wolf inside the plane quickly fell into a deep sleep.
After confirming the giant wolf was incapacitated, Kanna-chan and Amiya bid farewell again. Two helicopters soared into the sky, rapidly returning in the direction of Rhodes Island.
"What are you still looking at? You can ride it when we get back. Now it's time to sleep, or you won't have the energy to travel tomorrow!" Nian rubbed Kanna-chan's head before ducking into a nearby tent.
