People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Logos shook his head:

"I will not leave."

"The Banshee will unconditionally help Her Highness Theresa's dream. Although she has left, her dream is still extending. The Banshee will not leave Rhodes Island until she sees the end."

"And I...I won't leave either. But, as we agreed before, Kal'tsit, whether as an elite operator Logos or as Lord of the Banshee Court, Alphanir, I will not interfere in any matters that have nothing to do with the Sarkaz."

Rhode Island has its own persistence, and Logos has its own persistence.

Kal'tsit wanted Rhodes Island to be an absolutely neutral multinational corporation with offices all over Terra, with influence and international credibility. As for Logos, he wanted to bury the old royal court that had become a shackle of the Sarkaz.

They are on the same path now, but sooner or later they will go their separate ways. It is better to set boundaries at the beginning than to let the confusion lead to problems.

The word of logos is the contract, and now we are just reaffirming this contract.

Kal'tsit heaved a sigh of relief. At least, Logos was still on her side.

"But I support Ascalon's decision."

"Ho-"

Kal'tsit covered her chest and felt like she was about to die.

Why do you like to do this kind of surprise attack? Is it because there are too many Kurantas coming to the island recently?

The ups and downs are really bad for the heart.

Logos continued:

"Her Highness Theresa once said that every Sarkaz should have the right to choose. Babel Tower once worked hard for this goal, and so does Rhodes Island today."

"So, I agree with Ascalon's choice. No matter what her considerations were, at least it belongs to her."

"I hope this application will be approved through the normal process."

logosAfter she finished speaking, Kal'tsit had already leaned against the wall.

She knew that Ascalon had made up his mind, and she couldn't stop him, not even if Amiya came.

Besides, she wouldn't really let Amiya come, that would be too despicable.

This can be interpreted as forcing the emperor to abdicate.

But it can also be a normal personnel adjustment.

The difference lies in how Amiya judges.

She would definitely agree with a smile, even if it would reduce the safety factor around her and cause severe damage to Rhodes Island's SWEEP system.

Because she is the child chosen by Theresa, and she believes that she is the one who can inherit her dream.

"That's fine."

Kelsey sighed.

On the bright side, at least it wasn't Ernst who came to her to force her out. It wasn't Ernst who stood in front of her and told her, Kal'tsit, your days of using Ascalon to do evil are over. Now, give her to me!

If that's the case... No, that's not the case. Ernst still has his senses.

should.....

Damn, she was so unsure. She always felt that this was also Ernst's conspiracy! Including him squatting in this sensitive place to repair the door, it was obvious that he was poking the G-spot of all Rhodes Island!

It must have been Ernst!

Unfortunately there is no evidence!

After provoking Cheese Snow Leopard in her heart, Kal'tsit finally gave in:

"Submit your resume to the Human Resources Department. I'll have Amiya review it. Wait for the process to go through."

"Go to Kjerag and adjust yourself. Rhodes Island will be waiting for you when you come back."

Ascalon nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his face:

"Ok."

Chapter 464: Tower of Babel and Theresa

Rhode Island.

When walking with Amiya, Ernst always felt like he was taking care of his daughter.

As the public leader of Rhodes Island, Amiya's age has always been a huge problem. She is only 12 years old now. Even if she waits another month, on December 12, she will only be thirteen years old.

How can a thirteen-year-old child manage a large enterprise?

This is not a game of playing house. Rhodes Island is a real multinational company with offices all over Terra. Its business scope spans multiple fields and it even has an oversized landship as its headquarters and base of operations. Although this company has a solid foundation, managing it well is an extremely challenging undertaking.

Not to mention the distant past, in Casimir, where Ernst had just left, the spokesperson of the Business Federation even knelt down to beg for mercy for the benefit of the group. Even so, any small disturbance would still cause heavy damage to them.

What about Rhode Island?

Ernst didn't believe that Rhode Island had not encountered any crises or challenges so far. If starting a business was so easy, there wouldn't be so many people thinking about taking the civil service exam and getting a job in a state-owned enterprise.

Not to mention, this is Terra. In the past, the top business wars were just the CEO climbing over the wall into the rival company in the middle of the night to put laxatives in the water dispenser. But in Terra, putting laxatives? It's still a bit too conservative. If a fight really breaks out, Ernst thinks it's not impossible for the rival to send an assassin to kill the CEO of your company.

Therefore, from the beginning, Ernst did not really think that Amiya, the "leader", had much say. The one who was really in charge should be Queen Mother Kelsey, who was ruling behind the scenes.

But after walking all the way from Rhodes Island, Ernst couldn't help but change his mind.

The employees on Rhodes Island are collectively called Operators, and the Operators, regardless of their age or position, would always stop their steps and work and say hello when they saw Amiya and Ernst passing by.

"Good afternoon, Amiya."

"Good afternoon, Ms. Outcast!"

"Amelia, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, Mr. Scout. It's all for Rhodes Island."

This kind of greeting and intimacy cannot be faked. Although most of them spoke with more intimacy and less respect, it was enough to show how popular Amiya was in Rhodes Island.

In Ernst's words, this is called "the people's hearts can be used."

If she continues to grow at this steady pace, the closeness she has now may turn into respect and love in the future when Amiya achieves something commendable.

This made Ernst even more curious.

Because closeness doesn't happen without reason. A child of Amiya's age cannot and does not have the ability to "show favor" to those operators. So where did her initial "starting reputation" come from?

It is better to ask directly than to think, Ernst asked straight to the point;

"Amiya, I'm actually curious. How did you become the CEO of Rhodes Island?"

"Although there are no clear and strict laws and regulations against child labor in the world, there aren't many children your age who take on this position, right?"

Hearing Ernst's words, Amiya's ears twitched and a helpless smile appeared on her face.

This was not the first time she had heard this question.

Many new operators who joined Rhodes Island also expressed similar doubts when they heard that their leader would be a 12-year-old Carter girl. This doubt was accompanied by distrust, and the situation of the leader being young and the country being suspicious was not only present in the country, but also in the company.

And Amiya's answer was already familiar:

"Everyone in Rhodes Island comes together to pursue the same ideal. As companions on the same ideal path, age, race, origin, and whether or not you are infected are not actually within our considerations. Only the meritocracy is promoted, and this is the purpose of Rhodes Island."

"It's the same for me. I can sit in this position because of the trust of Dr. Kal'tsit and everyone. I will do my best to live up to their trust!"

Very formulaic, very standard, and very suitable for scaly survival.

When faced with a question, if you don't want to answer it, then first translate and explain the content of the question, then extend it to broad ideals and beliefs, raise high-end emotional values, and finally express your determination.

Amiya is quite capable. She must have gone through a period of hard study to master these boring but practical ways of answering.

But this was clearly not what Ernst wanted to hear.

If they really want to use this set of bombardment, Ernst, who thinks he has crawled out of the mountains of documents and meetings and has written a lot of essays, thinks he will not lose to anyone. But this kind of words are only used to deal with some special occasions. Who would say this in real internal communication? Is vernacular not useful anymore?

Noticing Ernst's somewhat dissatisfied expression, Amiya also scratched her head, a little embarrassed:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ernst, it was just subconscious."

The combo was triggered subconsciously.

Amiya paused and continued:

"Actually, Dr. Kal'tsit didn't let me tell you this. But I think that Mr. Ernst is our friend, and your attitude towards the Sarkaz has been recognized by many people, including Mr. Hedley, so I don't think it's a secret that needs to be hidden from you."

Amiya stopped and turned her head to look at the newly painted Rhodes Island fortress logo on the corridor wall. She said softly:

"Rhode Island wasn't actually called Rhode Island before. We had another name."

Ernst raised an eyebrow: "Another name?"

This was the first time he heard about the past and present of the company where the protagonists worked.

Amiya nodded:

"Yes, Rhodes Island is the name of this ship, and the dream that this ship once carried was called the Tower of Babel."

The Tower of Babel. This is a word that is not unfamiliar to Ernst.

According to the chapter of Genesis in the Old Testament of the Bible, the Tower of Babel was built by mankind at that time in the hope of reaching heaven. In order to stop mankind's blasphemous plan, God came up with a way to make mankind speak different languages ​​so that they could not communicate with each other. However, the plan failed, and the divided mankind has since gone their separate ways.

This incident, from a mythological perspective, provides an explanation for the existence of different languages ​​and races in a world that was created by the same god.

The image of the Tower of Babel has been interpreted in many ways in the long history of evolution. Some people regard it as a blasphemy against the authority of God, while others interpret it as a manifestation of human beings' entertainment to death. In modern times, it is more often interpreted as a "challenge to God" and a positive meaning of "building a tower with mortal bodies to rival the gods."

Many film and television works and games like to quote this image.

Just by saying this word, Ernst was able to imagine a lot of content.

When talking about gods, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally a powerful beast.

The Tower of Babel was built to challenge the behemoth? Did you want to replicate the operation of the neighboring Yan country? But it failed in the end?

Ernst did not ask rashly, but waited for Amiya's next words. Amiya said softly:

"The leader of the Tower of Babel at that time was Miss Theresa."

"Theresa..."

This was the first time Ernst had heard the name.

Saying this name seemed to remind Amiya of something. Her expression was a little sad, and tears welled up in her eyes:

"Yes, Miss Theresa. She is a very nice person."

“It was she who chose to give me this position.”

"So where is she now?" Ernst asked.

The ending of the Tower of Babel is self-evident. It must have collapsed, otherwise the organization of Rhodes Island would not have come into being.

This pharmaceutical company, named after the famous Hospitaller Order in the history of the earth, has rich symbolic connotations, whether in terms of its main fields - hospitals and pharmaceuticals, or the philosophy it practices - saving the world and curing mineralogy.

As for the Tower of Babel, if we ignore emotions and look at it from a third-party perspective, the organization named after it was established to collapse.

This is simply a bad taste, just like naming a hospital "Haoyoulai" or naming a funeral home "KFC".

But there are different accounts of what happened after the collapse of the Tower of Babel. People left. Where did they go?

Where did this person named Theresa, whom Amiya could never forget, go?

Amiya held Ernst's hand with more force, and the little Carters actually pinched Ernst so hard that it hurt. But Ernst didn't say anything, but held it back, tighter.

"Miss Theresa has left forever."

Her voice was tearful, and Ernst suddenly regretted asking this question.

Not to mention a twelve-year-old child, even if an adult were to ask her to say something like "left forever", facing such a thing would be a tragedy that would be heartbreaking.

Amiya didn't even cry.

She just held Ernst's hand in silence, lowered her ears, and suppressed her emotions.

Ernst gritted his teeth.

Well, now I feel like a poet of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

He squatted down, stretched out his hand, took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket, gently brushed it across Amiya's eyes, tried his best to force a gentle smile, and whispered softly to comfort her:
