People in Terra, governing a weird little country

What she wants is benefits, why does she care about face?

A man can bend and stretch!

Ernst smiled and said, "I wonder if Duke Caister is satisfied with this explanation."

Duke Caister nodded meaningfully: "I dare not be dissatisfied."

After seeing off Duke Kaster, Ernst finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although a lot of his cards and relationships were exposed, they were still within an acceptable range. He had fought in a hurry this time, and the result was already a step-by-step victory, a victory over the gods.

And, anyway, today was the first time in history that Kjerag stood up and spoke in a heroic manner!

Ernst couldn't help but feel a little excited. In the verbal battle between Kjerag and one of the Victoria fragments, he didn't lose! He lived up to his style as the Key God!

I would like to give a speech to express my gratitude for the award. I would like to thank Vina for her combo, Lavshini for her sweep, the special guest Yelagund for his wonderful acting skills, and the people of Sherag for their support and love for me.......

"Boss, I see Duke of Caster has left. Are you free now?"

Before Ernst could finish thanking everyone one by one, Xinteleya's voice came from outside the door again.

Ernst was in a good mood. He opened the door and looked at Xinteleya who was working overtime at the reception desk.

"Hintlea, what's wrong?"

Xinteleya put down the phone in her hand and said:

"Another visitor has arrived."

"The Yan people are here."

Chapter 276: The Great Yan Taifu and the Minister of Rites

Kjerag, Kjerag railway station.

The lights of the last train dispel the darkness of the evening, and the roar of the train echoes among the mountains like a soul-stirring symphony.

The thin old man sat in the box, gazing out through the glass of the viewing window, as if he could penetrate the lingering darkness in the mountains and glimpse into the deeper things hidden within.

[Giant beast - Yelagund, its specific form is unknown, its specific power is unknown, and its specific birth time is unknown. Danger: low, friendliness: high, last sighted at: Kjerag.]

The information given by Si Suitai flashed through his mind again, and the old man sighed slightly.

There is still too little known information.

Simuitai is the "relevant department" of Da Yan that handles matters related to giant beasts. Unlike the various countries on Terra who either revered or despised the giant beasts, Da Yan was the first country to not regard "Gods" as gods, but to call them "giant beasts". Later, as Da Yan gradually became stronger and its influence gradually expanded, the term "giant beast" began to spread widely and gradually became one of the official names of the countries on Earth for those magnificent creatures.

And Simuitai is no longer just an ordinary institution that manages the strongest behemoth "Sui" in Dayan, but has become the behemoth research and management center in Dayan.

Giant beast scholars analyze and study the information of various giant beasts day and night, and people with candles wander around Da Yan, investigating and dealing with a series of events and disasters caused by giant beasts. Sometimes, the scope of this investigation will exceed the borders of Da Yan and spread to the entire land.

Da Yan thinks that investigating giant beasts in other countries' borders is not an interference in other countries' internal affairs. Because giant beasts are very special creatures. Some of them are arrogant, some are indifferent, some are manic and irritable, and even a few words can anger them. Some are lazy by nature, and even if someone digs and dings on them for decades, they can endure it.

But they all have one very common characteristic.

The behemoth has no homeland.

There is no such thing as "the giant beast of Yan State", "the giant beast of Ursus", or "the giant beast of Rembilto". There is only "the giant beast located in the territory of Yan State", "the giant beast located in the territory of Ursus".... Even the strongest giant beast "Sui" in the Great Yan region, who has an inextricable relationship with Great Yan, has never had any sense of belonging to the country of Yan in essence.

In the past, he helped the court and army of Dayan to launch large-scale hunts against other giant beasts, and enjoyed the fight to the death. In essence, he just thought it was fun and had no intention of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country.

How could a group of ants deserve His loyalty?

Of course, he accidentally got out of hand in the end, and the behemoths he had driven away or killed combined to cast a horrible curse on him. Then the Great Yan army mobilized the entire nation and successfully completed the first war against behemoths in the history of human beings on Terra.

Of course, from an objective point of view, it is difficult to say whether this period of history has been "dressed up by anyone".

Some people think that there is, because the power of "Sui" is so shocking that a giant beast brought a group of mortals to defeat all the giant beasts in the Great Yan territory at that time. This level of combat power, even if it was buffed by the resentment of the dead giant beasts with a -99% buff on all attributes and continuous blood loss, should not be shaken by the mortal army.

One percent of 10000 is also 100. Even if there are 0.00001 mortals with individual combat effectiveness less than 1, their combined effectiveness is only . The numerical difference is enough to erase the gap in operation. To put it in the game, you push and pull the boss like a ball, but it doesn't hinder me, Mauna, and Shui Chen will kill him in seconds with his ultimate move.

There is a kind of numerical beauty to be found in behemoths.

But some people think not, because strictly speaking on Terra, the Yan soldiers during the Great Hunting Period and the Yan soldiers we are familiar with today actually have some differences.

In those days, everyone was a god’s people, whose “divine power” had not yet dissipated!

An army composed entirely of gods and people, with the strongest among them providing unified leadership, and everyone working together to attack a BOSS whose health bar has been drained, it is not an exaggeration to say that they can win.

After all, the same configuration can already destroy Kazdel. It is known that even if Kitty Egg Roll sacrifices a bunch of blood packs, he can completely wipe out the health bar of the [Chronology] behemoth. In the most prosperous era, the God's people could overthrow Tikaz, who had a complete "Ten Kings Court" at that time, and crush him. So, the combat effectiveness of the God's people's army cannot be compared with that of modern armies.

Even though the demons are miserable now, their ancestors were once rich.

Of course, the details of what happened back then are no longer visible to people today, and there is no artifact on this land that can trace back the long river of time. When the result is already determined, it is a thankless task to persist in tracing back the truth of that year.

The Master would never do such a thing.

He is a human being. If his ancestors won the fight back then, then they won. Whether they won in a head-on fight, from behind or by a sneak attack, even if they put a sack on the enemy and hit him with a club in the middle of the night while the enemy was sleeping, they still won.

There is a saying that goes, "History is written by the victors." Taifu felt that this saying was somewhat ambiguous, and more like a resentful excuse from a loser.

If he were asked to say it, he would say: "Only the victors are qualified to write history."

If Great Yan had been defeated back then, there would be no Great Yan now. Writing history is a kind of honor. People who read history read it with a stance, but people who write history do not write with a stance. They insist on being rational people. Am I not an idiot?

However, debating history was not the purpose of the Grand Tutor's special trip to Kjerag. Yelagund might know some details of that period of history, but he didn't care.

He was just visiting a special case.

"Master, why do you say Yelagund is a special case?"

Sitting opposite the Grand Tutor, Minister of Rites Ning Ci Qiu wrapped his shawl around himself.

The weather in Kjerag is very cold. Even though it is strictly summer now, you still need to wear at least two layers of clothes when entering Kjerag. Ning Ci Qiu grew up in the mild climate of the south of Yan Country, and he is not used to this weather.

Fortunately, the Terrans have a strong physique and did not suffer from any altitude sickness, otherwise Miss Ning Ci Qiu would probably have been able to experience the highly skilled medical department that Kjerag had just established.

Ernst tried it and said it was good!

The Grand Tutor turned his head slightly and looked at the Minister of Rites in front of him, who was also the daughter of his old friend. The corners of his mouth slightly raised an arc and said lightly:

"Wear more clothes. If you catch a cold, your father will nag me when you go back."

"I'm sorry to have caused you, Master Taifu, to worry." Ning Ci Qiu nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

The Grand Tutor then said, "I just said that behemoths have no nationality and do not belong to any particular country. This is not without exception."

"According to the investigation of Simitai, there are at least two giant beasts on this land that are special cases. One of them is the Sami giant beast, which is called the [Grandfather Spirit] by the Sami people. It has a long history and has been confirmed to exist for a long time. It has always protected Sami with the beast master [Anma] and defended the northern defense line of Sami."

"North? You mean..."

The Master nodded:

"Evil spirits are not unique to Da Yan, but the defense line north of Da Huang City has to fight against more than just those evil spirits."

Not only the evil demons, but also the giant beasts that were expelled from the country by Dayan in ancient times, and... the combination of the two, the giant beasts infected by the evil demons.

The Grand Tutor's eyes flashed, but considering Ning Ci Qiu's current position and her father's instructions, he chose not to explain.

I think she can guess it herself. If she can't guess it, that's fine. She will know it sooner or later anyway.

Without dwelling on this topic any further, the Grand Master continued, "Another special case is the purpose of our coming to Kjerag."

"The giant beast Yelagund." Ning Ci Qiu murmured, "Si Sui Tai only recently recorded the relevant information of this giant beast, and we still know nothing about it. It's so rash to come here..."

As soon as she said this, she realized that something was wrong and quickly made amends:

"I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the Master's order."

"It's okay." The Grand Tutor waved his hand, indicating that Ning Ci Qiu didn't need to worry about this small mistake in his words.

"I have also thought about the problem you raised. Ci Qiu, although the purpose of our trip is to try to communicate with Yelagund, we should not forget that the reason we have the opportunity to come here is because of Kjerag's invitation."

"Are you talking about the World Expo?" Ning Ci Qiu asked curiously, "A small corner of the Snow Territory is hosting an expo called the World Expo. To be honest, I really don't know where Prime Minister Ernst gets his confidence from."

The Yan State delegation has been traveling all day today and only sent a vanguard messenger to scout the way. They have not yet obtained any intelligence about the opening ceremony of the expo.

Terra does not have the drawbacks of long-distance communication.

However, compared to Ning Ci Qiu's confusion and contempt, the Taifu's expression was much calmer. He shrugged without comment and asked:

"Ci Qiu, this is a good thing."

"If the World Expo really has participation from all nations, it means that Kjerag's influence is great enough. Naturally, Yan Nation must have a seat at this international event. The fact that you, the Minister of Rites and the current Grand Tutor, are here in person shows that Great Yan is polite."

"And if not, then our arrival also represents the attitude of Yan Country and gives Kjerag face. Prime Minister Ernst is still young, and he is highly regarded within the court. He has great potential and a promising future. Our arrival will give the World Expo two more qualified figures to dominate the event, and it is also a timely help. Prime Minister Ernst is a reasonable person and will not forget it."

"In this way, we will have a better chance of coming into contact with the giant beast Yelagund, right?"

Ning Ci Qiu nodded in sudden realization: "Master, that's a good idea. Prime Minister Ernst is also known as the Holy Son of Yelagund. Being on good terms with him is indeed a good way to get in touch with Yelagund."

This was also common in the officialdom of Yan State. Many people who could not contact her father, the Minister of Rites, turned to her for courtesy. At first, she was ignorant and would exchange sincerity for sincerity, but later she gradually guessed the purpose of these people. Now, if she is free, she may still be polite and pay attention to them, but if she is busy, she is tired of even contacting them.

However, although she had accumulated this experience in her life, she had not yet brought it into officialdom or into her interpersonal relationships.

As a newly appointed Minister of Rites, she indeed still has a lot to learn.

Ning Ci Qiu wanted to ask something when he heard a knock on the door of the box.

"咚咚-"

The Minister of Rites frowned slightly. The golden-armored guard at the door had already moved, holding the hilt of the knife with one hand and opening the door lock with the other.

The door of the box slowly opened, and the sound of a melodious harp suddenly filled the room.

The man outside the door, wearing a gray hat and a scarf with the words "I love Shelagh", laughed heartily, glanced around the room, and then said:

"Hello everyone, I am the Harpist on the Train. Would you like to listen to a harp performance?"

"Train service?" Ning Ci Qiu was a little surprised, but immediately switched to Victorian and replied, "Is the traditional instrument of Kjerag the harp?"

"No, no, this is just my personal hobby. Listening to a piece of wonderful music during a busy journey allows the tired body and mind to rest for a moment. This is such a wonderful enjoyment. I just want to share this happiness with the same passengers as me."

Gray Hat shook his head and explained.

Ning Ci Qiu turned his gaze to the Grand Tutor, but the Grand Tutor just smiled and signaled Ning Ci Qiu to make his own decision.

Ning Ci Qiu pursed his lips and nodded:

"Well then, Mr. Harpist, thank you for your help."

"Ok."

The man in the gray hat smiled and placed his hand on the harp, his heart as calm as water.

This time it’s the Yan people.

It’s okay, I don’t seem to be that surprised.

Tsk, what’s going on? Why does this sound a bit sad?

The music moved the heart, and Ning Ci Qiu and the tutor enjoyed a little song with a hint of sadness on the train.

Chapter 277: Rushing for more, right? I'm going to explode with you!

Kjerag, Tukarim, Ernst Office.

It was already late at night, and Ernst had no habit of working overtime, but the Yan people were so enthusiastic that after arriving late at night, he didn't even plan to rest, and called Hinterea without stopping.

"Has Prime Minister Ernst slept yet?"

Ernst had not slept yet either. Not only that, he had just sent off a very troublesome person and was eager to go to bed right away.

Isn’t this a coincidence?

Ernst hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time, as if his boss suddenly called him in the middle of the night to discuss work tasks and plans.

Very good, Da Yan, let me return to Earth 2024.

What else can Ernst say? He can only say that Dayan is very realistic in this respect. Ernst doesn't hate working overtime. In his previous life as a civil servant, although he nominally worked from nine to five, how could a "humble public tool" have a real vacation? Sometimes, he really had to work overtime.

Of course, overtime pay was indeed given according to the law, so Ernst did not have such a strong aversion. Moreover, the person who came this time was one of the three ministers of the Great Yan court, the Grand Tutor himself, a real old man, and he was so enthusiastic, so Ernst, a young man, was embarrassed to send him back tomorrow.

The people of Da Yan are very concerned about face. If the other party gives face, Ernst will return the face, and the probability of making friends will be much higher. One more friend is always better than one more enemy.

After Xinteleya led the people in, Ernst stood up and greeted them, "Please come in and take a seat."

"It's a bit late. I have arranged for someone to prepare a welcoming dinner. Your Excellency the Grand Tutor and Minister Ning can take a rest first."

As soon as the words came out, Taifu and Ning Ciqiu were stunned. The reason was simple, Ernst used Yan country Mandarin.

Well, it's not completely different. Can you hear a little bit of the Shangshu accent?
