I, Viego, conquer Terra!

"What are you looking at?" Lapland asked knowingly.

"Uh... nothing." Viego coughed lightly and looked away silently. "What... what do you mean?"

"Don't worry, I've confirmed that Celinina has fallen asleep. Now we are the only two still awake." Lappland took a step forward and gently stepped on Viego's feet with her little feet wrapped in stockings.

She looked up at him with a nasty smile, licked the corner of her lip, and said meaningfully: "...Would you mind taking two more bites of the ice cream? I promise, it tastes different from the one you just ate."

Viego's Adam's apple rolled, hesitating for a second, and sternly refused: "I'm not that kind of person."

Lappland raised an eyebrow.

Could it be that this man's determination is even stronger than she expected?

"I do have a few questions for you, though."

"Oh?" Looking at Viego, whose face was serious but whose eyes could not stop glancing down, Lapland's smile grew wider.

The silver wolf's tail swayed behind her.

......

Laplande followed Viego into the room and sat down beside the bed.

As soon as he sat down, he put his left foot into Viego's hand.

"Ah? This..." Viego was stunned for a moment and looked down at the white silk feet in his hands.

"Why are you standing there? Touch me?" The white silk rubbed against his palm, and Lapland raised an eyebrow. "Do you want me to move myself?"

"Ahem...what are you talking about!" Viego coughed lightly, and his fingers clenched uncontrollably. "I'm not that kind of person."

Well... not as soft as Lavinia, they each have their own merits in feel, but Lapland is more proactive and brings a completely different feeling... Viego subconsciously compared them.

"Tell me, what do you want to ask?" Lappland crossed her legs, one black and one white, the visual effect was clear, the milk ice cream was held in Viego's hand, and the chocolate ice cream rubbed his wrist lightly, with interest.

"Well... nothing special, I just want to know if you know about the situation in other countries? Are they the same as Syracuse?" Viego focused his mind and looked at Lappland and asked.

"What do you mean?" Lapland raised his eyebrows. "If you mean the ecological environment, then Syracuse is unique. Only here will there be a situation where a judge blatantly shields a criminal."

"Is that so... Then what about people's livelihood? How do the lives of civilians in other countries compare to those in Syracuse?"

"At least other places won't be like Syracuse, where you might get dragged into a family fight and die tragically on the street just by walking down the street?"

Laplande placed her right leg wrapped in black silk stockings on Viego's knee, and gently rubbed it with her round, jade-like toes:

"But what's special about Syracuse is that it doesn't reject infected people like other countries do - after all, no matter how dangerous the infected people are, they are not as vicious as my family."

"Repel the infected?" Viego thought for a moment, grabbed the chocolate ice cream that was playing tricks on his legs, and tickled the soles of its feet with his fingertips as a punishment.

"Hmm..." Lapland hummed softly, his face slightly red, and said:

"Yes, for example, in Ursus, anyone infected will be taken to the mines as a slave, working until death, and being tortured and killed by the soldiers there for fun. It is the country with the harshest attitude towards infected people in this land."

"Will you be captured and made into a slave even if you haven't committed any crime?" asked Viego.

"It's the same even if you haven't committed any crime. As long as you are infected, you are undoubtedly the lowest class in their eyes. Maybe you can't even be considered a 'same species'."

Lappland affirmed, not satisfied with Viego's hand movements, and stretched out her legs to step on his face. "Hey, if you want to touch me, pay attention, touch me well... If you make me feel good, there will be a reward for you, okay?"

Viego reached out and grabbed the escaped milk ice cream, rubbing it hard twice.

"Hmm...!" Lappland stopped acting weird.

"What about other countries?" he then asked.

"I haven't been to other countries much, so..." Laplande suddenly showed a wicked smile and looked behind Viego: "Let Cellinina answer you."

There was a noise behind me and the bed sank.

"...?!" Viego was startled, and before he could turn around, he felt a soft girl's body sticking to his back.

A warm and moist breath came to my ears, with a gentle and rising ending tone: "Viego, when I was away, you seemed to enjoy being stepped on... huh?"

Viego: !!!

Didn't you say you fell asleep?!

He looked in shock at the white wolf girl in front of him with a wicked smile, who had succeeded in her prank.

Lappland hurt me!



Chapter 163: Viego’s New Idea

Unexpectedly, Cellinina just hugged Viego from behind and did nothing more.

"I'm not familiar with many countries, only Colombia. For example, I've only passed by Lateran and Letania a few times, so I don't know them well."

The cold and calm voice of the Lupo girl sounded softly in Viego's ears. Cellinina knew that Viego knew almost nothing about countries other than Kazdel, so even though she didn't know much, she gave a brief introduction:

"Let's start with Colombia - I was born there, my Texas family has its roots there, and in terms of ethos, the whole of Colombia has a flavor of... 'freedom'."

"The policies and regulations for infected people there are not too restrictive. At most, they are not allowed to enter certain areas, but... they need to pay."

"Pay the money?" Viego raised his eyebrows.

"Yes," Celinina explained:

"If infected people want to enter Colombia's mobile city, they must pay a large fee and accept restrictions from Colombian officials to show that they will not cause trouble...but most infected people cannot afford this money."

"......" Viego was silent for a moment, then asked: "What about Lateran?"

"In terms of its attitude towards the infected, Lateran is one of the most gentle countries in this land." Celinina said:

"As far as I know, even if a citizen of Lateran is infected with oripathy, they will at most be expelled from the country, but they will still retain the thirteen citizen rights of Lateran - that is, they are still part of Lateran."

...Can such an attitude be considered mild? Viego originally wanted to ask this question, but when he thought of what Lappland said about Ursus, and the fact that the infected would become a new source of infection after death, causing others to become infected as well...

He was silent.

Compared to Ursus, Lateran is indeed gentle enough.

"As for Leitania... the situation there is a little complicated."

"complex?"

"Yes." Cellinina paused, as if she was organizing her words. "On the surface, Leitania's attitude towards the infected is also very gentle, and they will not even expel them."

On the surface? That is to say... "but in reality?"

"In fact, I've heard that many nobles in Leithania would secretly capture infected people and use them as labor. Some even use them as experimental materials and consumables for casting spells."

Viego thought of Ines, the cold and aloof woman who seemed to have mistaken him for a Leitanian and was extremely wary of him. This was the reason...

Viego thought of Mudstone again. She and her team left the Scar Mall and seemed to be heading to Leitania for refuge. I wonder if they will encounter any danger...

However, Mudrock's strength doesn't seem to be bad, so there's no need to worry too much.

If you drop by later, you can try to find her.

"Is that so..." Viego frowned and remained silent.

Even Lappland noticed Viego's seriousness, stopped playing tricks, and silently withdrew his foot.

Before becoming infected, an infected person should be a citizen of a country with legal rights.

But after becoming infected, life seems to change drastically overnight...

So what kind of life do the civilians in these countries, the ordinary people here, live?

This is a question that Cellinina and Laplande could not answer.

Viego can only see it with his own eyes.

Viego couldn't help but think of Kal'tsit. Two months ago, she told him that the black mist could possibly slow down the progression of the oripathy in the infected...

At that time, he just understood, but he couldn't empathize with Kal'tsit's importance.

Now I understand a little bit more.

If that's really the case...

I don’t know how Kal’tsit’s research is progressing.

Viego's eyes were blank.

Originally, he just wanted to survive, so he came up with the idea of ​​building a base camp. The main purpose was to create a "mobile fountain" for himself like the Shadow Island to prevent himself from sudden death.

but now...

What he saw and heard in Syracuse gave him some more ideas.

However, some specific details still require time for him to verify and investigate personally.

What about the scenery in other countries?

After a moment, he exhaled slowly and looked at Cellinina: "I understand. Thank you, Cellinina, and thank you, La P. Land..."

Lappland raised an eyebrow.

Why are you gritting your teeth like that?

"It was Cellinina who told me to do this," she said.

"Well, I told her to do it," Cellinina admitted. "Because I have something to tell you, Viego."

Viego was stunned: "What?"

"I'm leaving now." Celinina said, "Just before you came back, the family sent me a message asking me to rush back as quickly as possible. It seems that there is something important that needs to be discussed."

"Yeah... got it." Viego nodded and asked, "When are you leaving?"

He didn't feel any sad emotions.

Parting is normal, he knows they will meet again in the future.

"Rest for a night and leave early tomorrow morning." Cellinina said, putting her face close to Viego's profile:

"I'm going back to Colombia directly. I'll only stop in necessary cities to rest. I won't be able to continue to show you around Syracuse, Viego."

Of course she was a little reluctant.

But Cellinina also understood that separation was normal.

Her identity meant that she could not follow Viego forever like an ordinary little woman.

Of course, Cellinina didn't want to do that either.

She understood that the relationship between herself and Viego should be equal, not one of subordination.

This is the kind of relationship that satisfies both herself and Viego.

"It's okay. I'll take you there tomorrow." Viego raised his hand and rubbed the wolf ears on Cellinina's head. "I've seen enough of Volsini. It's time to set off for the next city. And..."

He looked at Lapland. "If nothing unexpected happens, once Celinina leaves, you should also return to the family, right, Lapland?"

"Yes." Lappland smiled. "Why, you can't bear to leave me?"

"Of course not." Viego said. "But... I do have a favor to ask of you."

Laplande thought for a moment and guessed Viego's plan: "That young judge?"

"Yes." Viego nodded: "Lavinia can help me in the future, but she may easily cause a lot of trouble... If there is any problem, I will need you to help take care of her - I will pay you."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on her, but no need to pay." Lappland smiled and raised his hand, his fingertips brushed across Viego's neck, and finally stopped at his heart:

"Just consider it as you owe me a favor."

Chapter 164: My scalp is itchy, I need to grow a brain

early morning.

Viego opened his eyes from the bed.

Last night and the night before, a total of two nights, were more than enough for him to "drain" the power of the fragments in Lapland and Cellinina's bodies.

But Viego did not remove the fragment.

Last night's conversation is still fresh in my mind. The situation of the infected people in this land is not good.
