People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Yes, that commander was therefore given the "honorary title" of "The Evil Spirit of the Tower of Babel".

The reckoning came quickly. Under the suppression of Tracys' absolute power, the opposition without the leadership of the Demon King could not muster enough resistance. The resisters were slaughtered, and the neutrals were forced to remain silent or take a stand. Those who had previously held different positions were also given two choices.

Either die or prove your loyalty.

The price Hedley paid was his own eye.

He was supposed to be killed, but the stranger General Manfred pleaded with Teresis. The reason was naturally Hedrena's cultural level, which was considered a "prophet" among the Sarkaz, and his book "History of the Sarkaz War" which was written at the end of the civil war.

Hedley survived in the end because of his value, but Tracys would not allow a mercenary team with a clear criminal record, a bad background, and direct contact with Theresa to continue to be active in Kazdel, so he directly disbanded Hedley's mercenary team.

Hedley was left in the Military Committee as a civil servant beside Manfred, saying that he was giving full play to his literary talent, but in fact, Manfred, the "recommender", was monitoring him. Inès was sent to Ursus to monitor the recent activities there... ahem, the Reunion Movement. W was sent to catch up with and monitor Rhodes Island.

Well, yes, W went to monitor Rhodes Island.

Hedley couldn't judge Tracy's judgment of people, but it was somewhat humorous to let W, who was closest to Her Highness Theresa, to monitor her old subordinates. But Hedley couldn't rule out the possibility that Tracy had other plans.

For example, the classic one: let the hero check the hero? Let the good man check the good man?

All he could say from the bottom of his heart was “Great idea, President!”

Back to the point, to be fair, Hedley was still very grateful to Manfred. He knew that this opportunity to be sent abroad was also fought for by Manfred.

This second disciple of Tresis, a star among the new generation of Sarkaz in the Military Committee, was particularly favored by him for some reason. Not only was the so-called surveillance basically equivalent to letting him go, but he was also given considerable authority, allowing him to move freely in the city of Londinium. Now he had won him a chance to escape from this vortex. Although he did not understand Manfred's considerations, he could not help but thank Manfred for what he did.

Although Kjerag is a place where many hidden talents are hidden, and Ernst Shivaash has even caused Tracys to suffer several losses, it is still a civilized world with moral whitewashing, and is safer than Kazdel and the current Londinium.

Therefore, although he was very angry about Tracy's threat, Hedley still accepted the task.

Although Hedley is just an ordinary Sarkaz, the difference in physical fitness between Sarkaz and Filin is like the difference in physical fitness between the athletes in the Douyin of Bilibili and ordinary people. Some high-risk operations that are extremely difficult for Filin will be greatly reduced in difficulty for Sarkaz.

For example, mountain climbing!

Yes, in order to infiltrate Kjerag, Hedley chose to climb the mountain.

Taking the Snowland Express to enter Kjerag in such a swagger would really attract too much attention! It would be easy to attract other people's attention. It would be better to disguise as a fleeing Sarkaz and climb the snowy mountain directly to enter. It would be more in line with the identity of an "ordinary Sarkaz" - you can find them anywhere in Terra, but no place in Terra is their home.

Hedley prepared his own climbing tools, tent, food, water, and a portable, assembled source stone stove for heating. Hedley picked a suitable weather and a snowy mountain with a gentler slope than other peaks, and began his mountain climbing career.

The journey was smooth. He did not encounter any snowstorms, nor did he meet any other climbers. He also did not encounter any frozen pack animals that might exist on the snow-capped mountains as described in the information he had collected during the preliminary preparations - the Kjerag travel guide. This was such good luck that even he could not help but sigh "lucky".

It only took him three days and two nights to successfully reach the top of the cliff.

Clouds and mist floated above his head and below his feet at the same time. Thick snow covered the mountaintops like a carpet. Hedley looked around and could vaguely see the outline of Kjerag's undulating mountains and the shape of the central basin. The wide view was so refreshing that he almost couldn't help shouting.

But he knew that this was not the right time.

Going up the mountain was just the first step, he began to look for a way down the mountain.

When he stood on the cliff and looked down, he saw a puzzling scene.

On the back of the towering mountains, under the cliffs, a few lonely hemp ropes swayed slowly in the wind and snow, as if carrying something. And most of them were just a broken thread and a nail, stubbornly embedded in the rocks.

What is this for?

Hedley was a little puzzled. However, due to the fog, the view from the top of the mountain was not that wide, and due to the perspective, he could not see clearly what was hanging on those few intact ropes.

But he was well-informed and knew that in the ancient times of Da Yan, many Shu people living in Shangshu would build "plank roads" and "Shu Roads" on cliffs for passage. These ropes and nails might be the "plank roads" left by the ancient people of Kjerag?

"It looks like it won't work, what a pity."

Hedley looked at the old and weathered ropes and nails and shook his head with some regret.

But besides being regrettable, the existence of these ropes and nails also gave him some clues.

Since a "plank road" can be built here, it means that there must be a place of stay left by the ancients further down the road.

Having made up his mind, he began to walk down the path.

The way down the mountain is more difficult than going up the mountain, especially the snow-capped mountains. The cliffs covered with snow are very slippery and will also cover some loose stone walls that are not easy to stand on. Hedley followed the direction indicated by the iron nails and climbed down carefully step by step.

In the mist, the object hanging on the rope above the nail gradually became clearer, until it gradually approached and aligned with Hedley's position. The ordinary Sarkaz extreme athlete turned his head and looked at the legacy left by the ancient Shelag, intending to say thank you.

"Thanks......"

His voice stopped abruptly.

But the mountain wind did not stop. It blew across the shriveled face of the "legacy" which was only one meter away from him, and exhaled from its leaky mouth, making a sound as if in response to his gratitude.

The ancients left by the ancients of Kjerag: "......"

Hedley: "Fuck!"

Chapter 240: Hard-core ruthless man - Hedley "Garcia"

"Sir Saint, when we arrived at the scene, we only found this person at the foot of the mountain."

Looking at his fellow countryman Kjerag who had kindly sent a red-haired Sarkaz mercenary to him, Ernst nodded slightly, thanked him, and asked with some concern:

"Everyone, are you doing any cleanup work on the snowy mountain?"

Just by looking at the shocked expression of the poor Sarkaz in front of him, Ernst could more or less guess what Hedley had seen and experienced on the mountain.

It is said that he slipped down the hillside and was finally found in the valley by a fellow villager named Kjerag who happened to pass by and was grazing pack animals. As to why he slipped and fell down the hillside and why he went mountain climbing, Ernst decided not to ask for the time being in order to avoid triggering his painful memories.

However, it is worth lamenting that Hedley did not suffer any damage after falling from the cliff. Perhaps this is the double blood bonus of Super Terran and Super Sarkaz?

The attitude of the fellow villagers was also very enthusiastic. Seeing that Ernst, the Holy Son, asked about this matter, they also answered as if to take credit:

"We are doing it, we are doing it. We just brought my third aunt back from the Lord Yelagund yesterday..."

Seeing Hedley's expression change again, Ernst coughed and stopped him:

"Okay, okay, stop talking, stop talking, I understand. God Yelagund bless you, Gangmen."

The fellow villager who was speaking immediately became excited when he heard it. His face lit up with joy and he bowed to Ernst several times, saying, "May the great god Yelagund bless you, may the great god Yelagund bless you." It took Ernst a lot of effort to send them out of the new Tukarim Shelag government office building on the pretext that the Son of God "needed to communicate with God."

After they left, Ernst finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in his office chair somewhat helplessly, feeling the warm temperature of Miss Lafshini who automatically stepped forward and helped adjust the room temperature.

Yes, the Kjerag government office building has been basically rebuilt. This building was the last to be demolished in the entire Tukarim reconstruction project, but it was not the last to be rebuilt. On the contrary, it was put on the fast track by Nastie, and its priority was second only to the "Yeragond Grand Square" in the new city center and the Spark Night School, which Ernst had specially reminded.

At this time, although the office had not yet undergone final decoration and could only be regarded as a rough house, it did not prevent Ernst from temporarily requisitioning it to deal with some difficult problems that were not convenient to handle at home.

For example, the problem of the Sarkaz mercenary in front of him.

The Sarkaz mercenary - He Dalei. Ernst didn't know whether this rustic name he gave was true or not, but he felt from the bottom of his heart that this kid was indeed unlucky.

Since Rhine Life entered Kjerag, the general manager, Ms. Christen, was almost killed by a small avalanche caused by the screams of her subordinates on the top of the Matterhorn. Since then, the mountains, cliffs, canyons and other areas of the entire Kjerag have begun the plan of "changing customs".

The most important thing, of course, is to completely solve the problem of the "Snow Mountain Flying Men" who have scared wave after wave of outsiders.

Kjerag itself has a tradition of sky burials, and the former Manju Monastery liked to hang opponents and sinners who disrespected Yelagund on the mountains by "hanging them on cliffs" to warn the world and to ask for forgiveness from the great god Yelagund. Because this move was several versions ahead of the later "hanging street lamps", similar "ancient relics" can be seen on many peaks in Kjerag.

Ernst was indeed organizing people to clean up the remains, but this work was not something that could be done overnight. It was extremely difficult to change the bad habits that had been in place for thousands of years. Even without considering the habits of the Kjerag people, climbing the snow-capped mountains to deal with the remains on the cliffs that were already difficult to reach was a very challenging task, and the difficulty was comparable to any extreme sport that people talked about with relish.

And because Tukarim's reconstruction has recruited some employees in Kjerag in recent times, and the construction of the great statue of Yelagund in Silver Heart Lake has recruited many devout Kjerag people, the progress of this work has naturally slowed down.

Who knew that he would be so slow that he would just bump into He Dalei!

Ernst confirmed with fellow villagers that in order to ensure that tourists can enjoy the best natural scenery of Kjerag and the beauty of the snow country on the way to the Snowland Express Train, the large snow-capped mountains that can be seen have always been the focus of the villagers' work. Everyone is indeed very serious about their work. So far, there has not been a single complaint indicating that tourists have seen suspected "flying corpses on the snowy mountains" on the Snowland Express.

The cleanup work on other snow-capped mountains is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Although not 80 percent has been completed, at least 60 to 70 percent has been completed.

But good words can't persuade the damned ghost, and if he's unlucky, even drinking cold water will make his teeth ache. Mr. He Dalei is impartial and doesn't follow the ordinary path. He sincerely studies some unorthodox ways. It just so happens that among the mountains, he chose a not-so-clean mountain with his fate of punishment that perfectly matches the characteristics of the Sarkaz.

Isn't this a coincidence?

To be on the safe side, Ernst even asked Yelagund specifically whether this bad luck was intentionally arranged by Yelagund or if he had offended anyone in any way. As expected, Yelagund gave him a negative answer.

He is just pure bad luck.

Ernst could only spread his hands - there was nothing he could do.

You deserve the chance to experience Kjerag's special folk attractions that are about to be lost. This time, we will make an exception and not charge you for the entrance fee.

Whoops, just kidding.

As Kjerag's Tourism and Cultural Creativity Ambassador (a self-proclaimed title) and Director of the Kjerag National Tourism and Culture Bureau (a newly established department), Ernst was somewhat frightened by the fact that such a thing happened in Kjerag.

Of course, it wasn't that scary, because the person who encountered this was a Sarkaz.

Considering that Sarkaz's reputation is not famous all over the world, at least it can be said that he is hated by everyone. Even if Mr. He Dalei intentionally revealed it to the public... No, it was to slander Kjerag, it is highly likely that no one would really believe it.

But adhering to the principle that customers are God, Ernst still intends to ask Mr. He Dalei for his opinion. For example, the most critical question:

"Mr. He Dalei, what made you decide to cross the snowy mountains and enter Kjerag?"

"It's my pursuit of a stable life." Hedley replied.

As expected, Ernst showed a surprised expression.

Seeing this, Hedley could only sigh slightly.

It's no wonder that Ernst didn't believe it. As soon as he stated his purpose, it indeed conflicted with his identity as a Sarkaz, his extreme sports experience, and his unclear motives.

"Who would believe a Sarkaz's words so easily?"

Hedley, the mercenary who can be regarded as a Sarkaz cultural figure and emo master, wrote the "History of the Sarkaz War", which was criticized by Tracy as "full of negativity and pessimism, defeatism and nihilism".

Ernst obviously didn't believe his true feelings, so he could only change his tone and sell out Teresis directly, saying frankly:

"I am from Londinium."

"I am General Tresis's man."

"I came here on the orders of the general to gather intelligence in Kjerag and learn the details. I also want to contact you and find out your understanding and opinions on the Sarkaz."

Ernst was slightly stunned and a little surprised, and he didn't even have time to say the dirty words he wanted to say.

In fact, when he saw He Dalei, he had some guesses.

He had not come into contact with many Sarkaz, and He Dalei's unusual way of entering the country was indeed not like the methods used by Nastie or the operators from Rhodes Island. Apart from them, the only person who had some interactions with Ernst was the "unknown Mr. Sarkaz" who had met him once at Columbia Rhine Life.

The unknown Mr. Sarkaz was Tracys. In order not to escalate the situation, Ernst did not reveal his identity, leaving room for a buffer. And Tracys finally chose to retreat under the pressure of Vice President Wilson who was about to arrive, and returned the Balrog to Rhine Life, which was equivalent to suffering a loss at the hands of Ernst.

At that time, Ernst guessed that given Sarkaz's character, Tracys would most likely make follow-up moves. However, since there was no movement, he temporarily put this idea aside. And now, Hedley's arrival undoubtedly confirmed his guess.

But, isn’t this “spy sent by Theresis” a little too honest?

"Are you so honest?"

Ernst was puzzled.

"Aren't you afraid that Tracy will cause you trouble?"

Hedley shook his head and answered with reason:

"Don't worry. The mission the general gave me did not require me to keep my identity secret. In other words, directly revealing my identity and communicating with you openly is also one of my options. The general should not have any objection to this."

"And according to my analysis of you, if I continue to resist and hide my identity from you after the infiltration method I chose goes wrong, it will not do me much good. On the contrary, it may cause me to be closely monitored by you, or even cause the negotiations to break down and I be expelled from the country."

"Instead of that, I would rather confess my identity and ask you, one of the parties involved, about your attitude. Besides, this will also be good for me."

Ernst crossed his arms and showed an interested expression: "Oh? What's the benefit?"

Hedley replied, "I can cooperate with you and make up a story in exchange for my staying in Kjerag for a longer period of time."

He paused, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"It's much safer here than Londinium."

Chapter 241: Card Drawing is a Bad Civilization

Kjerag, Tukarim Government Office Building!

Obviously, Yelagund had called him back, but when Ernst really returned to Kjerag in a hurry, Yelagund had no movement. Even when Ernst had already dealt with a Sarkaz who had entered the country illegally, Yelagund had not sent any follow-up requests.

Ernst only knew that Yelagund had "hardened his fists" and was completely clueless about the rest of the news... Not really.

There are only a few things that can make Yelagund react. Either it is Kjerag's safety, such as the invasion of foreign troops, or it is Kjerag's internal affairs, such as Kjerag's family planning and population reproduction. Going back to the present, it may also be necessary to consider Kjerag's future development. After all, Ernst was able to establish contact with Yelagund through the "question and answer" with Yelagund about Kjerag's future during the Holy Stone Trial.

Otherwise, there shouldn't be anything that could affect Yelagund's mood.

perhaps......?

When Ernst summoned Jeston, Hallhaya, Joyce and Lola to learn about Shelag's recent situation in all aspects, he was really a little confused.

That doesn't make sense. Kjerag's recent situation can't be said to be stable and improving, but at least it can be said to be thriving. Why is Yelagund so angry?

A tiny possibility flashed through his mind, and Ernst couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"No way, that shouldn't be possible, right?"
