People in Terra, governing a weird little country

"What does the lich want from Lord Yelagund?"

Ermengarde waved her hands and explained somewhat embarrassedly:

"It's not the lich, it's me!"

"The chief is very strict. I was just thinking that if I don't complete the task by then, and if I have a good relationship with Yelagund, I can hide in the mountains and the chief won't be able to catch me!"

As she spoke, she probably realized that this would make her seem less reliable, so she added:

"Of course, this is just a precaution. I will still complete the work that needs to be done."

The battle hasn't even started yet and you're already planning to be the most agile dog in the mountains. What you said is really not convincing.

Ernst was a little speechless, but if he thought about it from another perspective, although Ermengarde looked unreliable, she was actually very unreliable!

At least she was doing her best to slack off, spare no effort to be bad, rack her brains to avoid being punished, and complained about her teacher from the bottom of her heart. Although such a person was not as reliable and powerful as the Sarkaz that Ernst had met before, at least he didn't have to worry about her doing anything big.

Ermengarde is a Sarkaz who is completely opposite to the traditional Sarkaz in "all aspects". If the Lich King must send such a person to communicate, Ernst would rather that person be her.

It’s better than Fremont coming in person.

After some consideration and thought, Ernst finally nodded:

"I know about this."

"You can wait until the end of this sports meet and go back to Kjerag with me, or you can go there first. I can give you a letter of introduction. Take it and go to Kjerag to find Hedley..."

"Legendary mercenary Hedley? Salute!" Ermengarde suddenly interrupted, "He is also in Kjerag. You have so many Sarkaz in Kjerag!"

Ernst: “............”

He really wanted to say, this is just the beginning, I still have a lot of holy relics here, the red barrel left by the banshee, the armor worn by the fire demon, if you had come earlier, there would also be the sword and pocket watch of the military committee officer, and a Rhodes Island with the Lord of the Banshee Court.

It’s smaller, the layout is smaller!

"Anyway, if you go to Kjerag now, take my letter of introduction to Hedley."

"Shelagh does have quite a few Sarkaz now, and in the future... maybe there will be more."

As Ernst spoke, he gradually realized this problem.

Once the number of Sarkaz increases, they will inevitably form a Sarkaz community. Rather than letting these Sarkaz form their own community and management system, indirectly starting to oppose Kjerag's management system and generating xenophobic sentiment, it is better to prevent it from happening from the beginning.

This preventive measure, of course, does not involve direct suppression or banning, but rather the Kjerag government should make plans in advance and establish a management mechanism for the Sarkaz.

For example, an organization like a neighborhood committee or a management bureau would not be very costly, and the employees would not all need to be Sarkaz. Hedley could take the lead as a committee member, and add a few deputies to be responsible for communication and the management of Sarkaz labor and employees. As a transitional organization, it would help Sarkaz talents who came to Kjerag to integrate into the snowy environment more quickly and contribute to the development of Kjerag.

When the Sarkaz are completely integrated into Kjerag and become the same race as Ursus, Filin, Zalak, Volper, Caprini and other people, the historical mission of this administration will be completed.

But as you can imagine, this will be a long process.

But no matter what, this idea is good and has certain feasibility.

Ernst nodded in his mind and silently noted down the idea.

In a few days, I will write a letter to Hedley and Kal'tsit, telling them about the lich, and discussing the issue of Sarkaz management with them, and asking for their opinions.

I haven't seen Kal'tsit for a while. I miss her a lot now that she's no longer around me. She knows a little bit about everything and has gradually gotten rid of her bad habits as a riddler.

Chapter 391: The young lynx fell asleep immediately

Dayan, Longmen, and Rhodes Island anchorage.

"Ding!"

A clear reminder sound rang out in the corridor of Rhodes Island. The lights in the operating room went out, and the door slowly opened. The green figure who walked out took off his mask and gloves and let out a long sigh of relief.

Another one was rescued.

The infected problem in Lungmen is much more serious than she had imagined, and this severity is different from the severity that Kal'tsit encountered in other countries, such as Ursus and Victoria.

The number of infected people gathered in the Longmen slums is very large. Among them are not only Longmen locals, but also a large number of infected people from the nearby Ursus mobile city [Chernobog]. These infected people can't stand Ursus's extreme policy on infected people, which can only have common topics with the King of the Great West. They hold the cognition that "it is better to work like a beast of burden for Wei Yanwu in Longmen than to be slaughtered like a beast of burden in Chernobog." Almost as soon as they arrive, they will come in large numbers.

To be fair, this was actually Ursus's problem, not Longmen's fault. However, Longmen Governor Wei Yanwu's handling of this matter was very characteristic of Yan Country - as long as nothing went wrong, then nothing went wrong.

As long as the infected people did not cause any major problems, he would simply ignore them and not deal with them. As a result, the problem of infected people in Longmen continued to accumulate.

The Rat King, who led the underground order of Longmen, was not unintentional in rectifying the increasingly serious problem of infected people in his jurisdiction, but when he realized that the infected were a problem that needed to be dealt with, it meant that the problem of infected people had exceeded his ability. No matter how powerful the Rat King was, he could not throw so many people directly out of Longmen's mobile plot.

Even because it is difficult to eradicate the problem of infected people, in order to prevent the problem from breaking out, he has to give the infected people a way out and some chance to survive.

This creates a vicious cycle.

As long as Ursus's infected policy does not change, the infected will not stop fleeing that country. And because Longmen Governor Wei Yanwu turned a blind eye and Rat King Lin Gerui was powerless, Longmen became a "friendly city" that ignored the infected. More and more infected people gathered in Longmen, and the more infected people gathered, the greater the pressure on the Rat King, and the greater the cost of maintaining his underground order. Therefore, he had to cede more benefits to the infected and provide more job opportunities...

Does this plot look familiar?

Yes, this is a replica of the refugee issue.

The best way to solve this problem is not to accept it from the beginning. Once you accept it, it is equivalent to being morally kidnapped. The refugee group will also have the awareness of fighting for political rights. The more people there are, the more serious the squeezing of the interests that originally belonged to the local indigenous people will be, and more and more social problems will be caused. Until finally, the ruling group that is morally kidnapped can no longer provide benefits that can satisfy the growing refugee group, and the fragile stability will completely collapse, triggering large-scale social unrest.

Of course, this situation is unlikely to happen on Terra. After all, the Terrans do not have such high moral standards.

The Rat King hasn't really been unable to bear the pressure yet, and Wei Yanwu just thinks that the problem is not that serious yet. If one day, the infected people in Lungmen really cause serious social problems, according to the standards of the Terrans, there is also a "final solution for the infected."

However, these are purely pros and cons analyses from the perspective of the upper class, with the cold and ruthless perspective of the state machine. For Rhodes Island and the vast majority of infected people, this is obviously not good news.

During this period of time, Rhodes Island has set up an office in the Lungmen Slums, recruited personnel, sent out stationed medical operators, and signed a cooperation plan with the infected people in the slums and the Rat King, using the infected people's labor as the price and the reward as the mineral disease inhibitor. The situation has been barely stabilized. Amiya has also initially gained the trust of the moderate infected leaders, and the number of infected people willing to come to Rhodes Island for treatment and employment by Rhodes Island is gradually increasing.

For example, the one she just had surgery on, has been confirmed to join Rhodes Island and is temporarily classified as a logistics operator, serving as an assistant operator of the Rhodes Island office in the Lungmen Slums.

According to her own wishes, her code name was set as [Dark Rope], which was a code name with a bit of black humor. Firstly, this infected person born in Rembit was very good at using tools such as grappling hooks and ropes. Secondly, it was because of her previous job in the Longmen slums.

She is a pickpocket, commonly known as a thief.

In the semantics of Yan dialect, "ansuo" may not be considered as an abbreviation of "secretly asking for".

As for what she meant specifically, Kal'tsit had no idea.

She blinked as she looked at the warm sunlight streaming in through the porthole in the corridor.

"Is it morning already?"

"Six hours and fifty-three minutes of surgery time. Your workload has really been increasing recently."

Ascalon emerged from the shadows, holding a letter in his hand.

"I asked Amiya to go back to bed. Here is your letter. Let me tell you, you can decide whether to read it first or go to bed first."

Kal'tsit looked at Ascalon with some confusion, not quite understanding what she meant.

What's going on? I've already completed a nearly seven-hour operation. How much time can a letter take? Can it even delay my sleep?

She took the letter and looked at the return address.

【Casimir】.

He glanced at the sender again.

【Ernst Shivaash】.

Kal'tsit: "........."

I have a bad feeling. Should I take a nap first?

Kal'tsit smacked her lips, feeling a little ashamed of her subconscious thoughts just now.

Kelsey, Kelsey, what's wrong with you? It's just a letter from Ernst from Casimir. What's there to worry about?

Don't you know Casimir? There are no giant beasts, no beast masters, and no Sarkaz royal court. It can be said to be the most "modernized" country in Terra. It has nothing to do with the pre-civilization or the Tikaz civilization!

Besides, Ernst went to Casimir as a guest to watch the International Games held by the Supervisory Council. In Casimir, he did not play in the games, nor could he take the center position of the protagonist. Casimir did not have any super-large scientific research projects worth mentioning. Could Ernst have come up with something big out of thin air?

Makes no sense.

"Kelsey, your hands are shaking."

Ascalon raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and looked at Kal'tsit with interest.

Kal'tsit suddenly came to her senses, held her shaking arm with her other hand, and forced her expression back to her usual indifferent state.

Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Ernst probably just wrote a letter to ask if Rhodes Island had reached Longmen, and to ask about Amiya and me. After all, we were barely friends, so this was normal, very normal.

"Would you like me to read it to you?"

Ascalon reached out his hand to Kal'tsit, but Kal'tsit shook her head firmly:

"What are you talking about, Ascalon, nothing is wrong with me."

"I was just a little tired from the surgery just now, and I was a little dazed for a moment."

"It's just a letter, look, I read it!"

Kal'tsit opened the envelope, swallowed, and unfolded the letter inside.

Ernst's (this time Vina didn't write for him) not-so-beautiful handwriting appeared in front of Kal'tsit, and it seemed to bring her back to that remote and isolated snowy land.

[Kal'tsit, please say hello to Amiya for me. Has Rhodes Island arrived at Longmen? How is the problem of infected people in Longmen being dealt with? The International Games have officially opened. Not only Kavalsimir, but the entire Terra is very enthusiastic about this competition. I have met a large number of masters here that I have never heard of before. Almost every day I spend in such surprises as "Wow, so amazing", "What, there are still masters?", "I thought he was already invincible, whose general is this?" I have to say, it is still a bit hard.]

Kal'tsit's tense expression relaxed a little and she let out a long sigh of relief.

so far so good.

Look, I told you, it's just a greeting from Ernst. There's nothing to worry about.

Everything is fine with Amiya. The International Games was successfully held, which is a blessing for this land. As for the issue of dealing with the infected people in Lungmen, although there have been some setbacks and miscalculations, the overall progress can still be considered good. However, it may be difficult to fulfill Ernst's promise to come to the Games after the issue is dealt with.

As for the question of whether she was an expert or not, Kal'tsit just smiled knowingly.

Ernst's knowledge is still too shallow. It is limited to a corner of Kjerag and he has not even traveled to all the countries in this land. It is normal that he does not know the heroes of the world.

It was a pity that she was not in Casimir, otherwise, she would be happy to introduce them to Ernst one by one. Haha, I guess the so-called "heroes" that Ernst met were just exaggerations.

Compared to the heroes Kal'tsit had seen before, such as Shahrugar Sargus, Nightmare Haranduhan, the First Pegasus, the King of Hippogriffs, the Overlord of the Gods and the Sarkaz Demon King, what kind of heroes could the people who showed up at a sports meeting be called?

The heart that had been in her throat finally settled down, and Kal'tsit continued reading.

[As always, I also made friends with many contestants and guests. Among them is Mr. Zhongyue, who is known as the Grandmaster from Yan Country where you are now, and Ms. Beatrix Shi Huaiya, who is currently the Senior Inspector of the Longmen Guard Bureau. I have to say, it is really a coincidence. ]

Kal'tsit: "........?"

Who?

Who are you talking about?

She knew Beatrix Swire, the eldest daughter of a super business family with businesses all over the world. Although her status was also prominent, Kal'tsit didn't have any special thoughts about her.

The question is another one, who are you talking about?

Grandmaster? Chongyue?

Is it the [Chongyue] I was thinking of?

Kal'tsit's heart, which had just been put at ease, suddenly rose again. Something was wrong, very wrong. What was going on? Could it be a coincidence? Why would Zhongyue, the leader of the film, appear in Casimir?

Kal'tsit's thoughts were still in a mess. The next second, Ascalon's voice appeared in her ears again:

"Hmm- a lich?"

Kelsey was shocked.

Her pupils seemed to experience an earthquake of magnitude 8 or above, and even her voice trembled:

"What lich?"

Ascalon glanced at her and said, "Look for yourself. Fremont from the Lich King's Court also appeared in Casimir."

"They also plan to send an envoy to Kjerag, saying that they are curious about the Balrog... It does fit my stereotype of those guys, a group of obsessed people who pursue knowledge."

Askalon finished speaking, Kal'tsit looked at the next line of text.

【Also, there is one more thing I have to mention to you. 】

[I met Professor Fremont, the Lord of the Sarkaz Lich King's Court, in Casimir.]

[Surprised, right? I was surprised too. When he revealed his identity right in front of me, I was almost stunned.]

[But the problem is not here. He seems to be very interested in the Balrog. After learning my identity, he wanted to come to Kjerag in person, but I remember your instructions. We should be vigilant against this ancient Sarkaz. I rejected his request, so he sent an apprentice to come here in the name of academic exchange. This time I really can't refuse, so I wrote to you specially, hoping that you can popularize some knowledge about liches. ]

[Also, after this incident, I also found that there are quite a few Sarkaz in Kjerag. I was thinking about setting up an organization to manage the Sarkaz and help them integrate into Kjerag. I wonder if you have any good ideas about this.]

【Looking forward to your reply. 】

【Ernst Shivaash.】
