We are from the future ark

Chen Qi was not surprised that Chuxue was not in a good mood. He was just here to serve as a foil anyway. After he finished speaking, he left.

"You are alone here, take care of yourself."

"If there is anything you can't solve, remember to contact me and I will help you."

Chen Qi had nothing more to say. Chu Xue was annoyed when she saw him, and Chen Qi knew it. He just said this to show his position.

After all, Chu Xue and her family had given everything for Rhodes Island, and Chen Qi must be responsible for them.

Although it is her choice to stay here now, Chen Qi must also provide shelter for them.

...Although he is no longer the supreme commander of Rhodes Island.

"Then I'll take my leave."

"--etc."

However, just as Chen Qi was about to turn around and leave, Chu Xue suddenly stopped him, which made Chen Qi feel a little surprised.

However, the moment Chen Qi turned around, he suddenly met Chu Xue's approaching figure, and the next moment, he only felt a gust of fragrant breeze.

"Chirp."

There was a cool touch on his forehead, which was fleeting. Before Chen Qi could react, Chu Xue had already stepped back several steps and stood right in front of Chen Qi.

"...Don't think too much. This is not some kind of interaction between lovers. God asked me to convey this to you."

Chu Xue's face was also flushed with embarrassment, but she quickly suppressed it and said to Chen Qi calmly:

"This is the blessing God asked me to convey to you. She is watching you. This mark is also proof that she is protecting you."

"'May your wish come true, son of revelation from the future' - that's what she said."

Chu Xue explained everything in a calm manner. Looking at Chen Qi who was still covering his forehead, she felt helpless and said with a little contempt:

"I told you not to think too much about it. Are you a virgin?"

"——You make it sound like you're not a virgin." Chen Qi subconsciously retorted after being hit in the sore spot again. However, this sentence made Chu Xue very angry, but she had no way to refute it.

"Forget it, forget it, let's go quickly. I get upset just by seeing you."

Chu Xue also lost her good temper and waved her hand to indicate that she would not see him off. Chen Qi was also helpless and finally put down his hand that was covering his forehead.

However, what he did not see was that a faint pink mark appeared on his forehead, like a plum blossom, very faint, but it added a bit of mystery to Chen Qi.

It’s hard to describe, but it seems that Chen Qi gives people a feeling of being a little more holy than usual.

But now, no one told Chen Qi these, and he didn't know what changes had taken place in his temperament.

He walked slowly down the holy mountain. However, when he reached halfway up the mountain, he heard bursts of ethereal singing coming from the holy mountain.

"Let it go, let it go (Let it go, let it go with the wind)~"

“Can't hold it back anymore”

"Let it go, let it go (Let it go, let it go with the wind)~"

“Turn away and slam the door”

"...Sister Chuxue." Chen Qi stopped subconsciously. He saw the small figure under the holy mountain and couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, no matter when, I still hope you can be like this today...

"elder brother."

Near the foot of the mountain, Enxia heard the song, called out to Silver Gray in front of him, and looked up at the Holy Mountain along with Chuxue.

"…First snow."

Silver-Ash, who had been walking forward with big strides, couldn't help but stop. At this moment, when he raised his head and looked towards the holy mountain, tears were still flowing from his eyes.

Is this... the song you sang with your heart, your voice?

It really... makes me, as a brother, feel extremely guilty.

The girl who yearned for freedom was willing to endure the cold and hardship on the icy holy mountain for the sake of everyone, but still let them go away with peace of mind.

“That perfect girl is gone”

“Here I stand in the light of day (I am reborn here, facing the light of day)~”

“Let the storm rage on——!”

“…The cold never bothered me anyway.”

The ending song seemed to take back all the voices of the girl who yearned for freedom, until the song was weakened by the cold wind, until no sound could be heard.

But everyone who wanted to hear it heard the girl's singing.

It also seemed that I saw the girl's snow-white wings yearning for freedom.

At the foot of the mountain, the sound of a land ship sailing away was heard. It left this piece of snow-white holy land and slowly sailed towards the wilderness in the distance...

Chapter 16: Longmen, Celebrating the New Year

The cooperation with Kjerag's Kalan Trade was a major breakthrough for Rhodes Island. It was not just the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two forces, but more importantly, it came from Kjerag's openness and protection.

This shows that Rhodes Island already has its next destination, which is not the protection of a single force, but a country-level one.

Now, although SilverAsh is still a warlord on the surface, he is actually no different from the king of Kjerag. The only difference is a throne and an official declaration.

With such support, Rhodes Island can now rest assured.

Even though Kjerag is a small country, and its overall strength may be only slightly higher than that of Longmen, it is still a country after all, and a country that is quite far away from Longmen.

What does this mean? It means that Rhodes Island has opened up a whole new area, and can use Kjerag as a springboard to directly enter the Western countries and carry out their operations.

And Sherag's SilverAshe also gave great help to Rhodes Island and could sell arms and a series of supplies to Rhodes Island. Such a result was good news for everyone in Rhodes Island.

Their weapons can finally be updated! Although the weapons from Kalan Trade are not likely to be the latest batch, the equipment can be upgraded, so Rhodes Island's combat effectiveness can also be raised to a higher level.

Of course, buying weapons requires funds. Apart from the money from several large families that treat the infected, Rhodes Island’s main source of income does not come from drug sales, but from pure gold.

Rhodes Island has a very special refining method that can purify waste materials and condense red gold. The purity of red gold refined by this technology is still very high, making the market, which never has too much red gold, in short supply. However, Rhodes Island naturally cannot make this technology public.

During this period, Rhodes Island made a lot of money from the red gold in Lungmen. After all, they bought waste materials. Lungmen had so much waste materials that there was nowhere to put them. They were all placed in the slums. There was no need to buy them. They just sent a team over and moved them on the spot. No one even tried to stop them.

The Rat King and Old Wei were confused these days. Why did Rhodes Island go to the slums to collect waste every day? What was this? Unpaid voluntary cleaners?

Although Lao Wei also sent people to investigate, the level of confidentiality at the manufacturing plant was no less stringent than that of the place where Originium potions were manufactured. The people sent by Lao Wei did not find out any information, so they gave up after a while.

Forget it. Anyway, the quality of the red gold sold by Rhodes Island is fine, and it is cheap and abundant. Old Wei will not refuse anything. He even plans to rely on Rhodes Island to continuously provide red gold and use this red gold to offset the national taxes that have not been paid in recent years.

In this way, Longmen can save a lot of money for internal construction.

The salaries of the Guards should be increased. These days have been quite uneasy, so it’s time to reward them.

Of course, more importantly, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it’s time for Longmen to spend money.

"We have to celebrate the New Year in a festive way this year. Everyone has worked hard this year, so we have to reward them well."

Wei Yanwu was holding his pipe as usual, but today, his expression did not seem as serious as before. Perhaps it was because the New Year was approaching, even he, the ruler of Longmen, seemed a little more relaxed.

"We'll take part in whatever activities are available this year, and those who need to set up stalls can do so. Today, those in the Guard Bureau who want to work overtime will do so at triple their wages, and those who need to take a vacation can take it. Just treat it as a patrol and fun trip."

"I'll also take this opportunity to take a good look around Longmen after a long absence."

——This is what Wei Yanwu said, but his meaning is actually very clear.

I don't want to be involved in anything on New Year's Day. Unless the sky falls, don't bother me. Just handle it yourselves.

Such news did cause some trouble for the people in the Royal Guard Bureau. The three senior superintendents of the Royal Guard Bureau were all helpless about this chief who was increasingly unwilling to take charge of things, but they could do nothing about it.

They now clearly feel that Lao Wei wants to retire more and more. The once frugal ruler of Longmen is now away from work all day long. If he does work, it is only when the work has piled up like a mountain that he is forced to finish it in the evening. The next day he is like a dead person, with no breath to breathe.

This situation has been going on for several days. However, no one said anything about Lao Wei's change in work attitude. After all, he is the boss of Longmen. What can the three senior police superintendents say?

"…Think carefully about the public security during the New Year."

In the end, there was only Chen's helpless voice. Finally, with a sigh, Shi Huaiya and Xing Xiong could only continue to work.

……

Soon, some time after Chen Qi and his companions returned to Longmen from Kjerag, and even shortly after they had welcomed Silver Gray and his companions, the festival began.

According to the history of Yan State, this day is their New Year's day. In order to celebrate that they can spend a peaceful year and welcome the next New Year, on this day, the whole country of Yan State celebrates and welcomes this festive day.

The streets of Longmen are all covered with festive red. The colorful neon lights on weekdays are replaced by red lanterns to illuminate the streets. On this day, Longmen is more lively and prosperous than usual.

The streets and alleys were filled with people. Usually, Longmen seemed very quiet because of the turmoil in recent days, but today, it seemed as if all the people who had been hiding at home had come out. It was a scene of empty streets.

Even Rhodes Island, which was temporarily docked at the outer ring of Dragon Gate, was affected by this fiery atmosphere...

"…Why do we in Rhodes Island have to decorate like this?"

Looking outside the Rhodes Island ship, a group of Rhodes Island operators who had changed into red clothes were hanging red ribbons and couplets on the Rhodes Island ship. Kal'tsit asked with some confusion.

"And...why are you so keen on this kind of thing?"

"Maybe it's because I once lived in Longmen for a period of time, so I have a natural liking for this kind of festival."

On the other side, Chen Qi, who was leading a group of people to add red traces to Rhodes Island, was standing on a high platform, personally pasting up the New Year's couplets, and said with a smile on his face:

"Officer Chen sent us a large batch of this red cloth and couplets some time ago. If we don't use them now, wouldn't it be a waste?"

"This is Longmen, and this is Yan Country culture. When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

"That's not what I meant." Kal'tsit also felt a bit of a headache. She looked up at Chen Qi's red robe and couldn't say anything. After a long while, she said:

"Don't you think your outfit is... too eye-catching?"

It took a long time before Kal'tsit could say the word "earthy". It took her a long time to find a more neutral word to describe Chen Qi's current makeup.

Kal'tsit is actually very interested in the culture of Yan Country. It is one of the few countries on Terra with an extremely long history and mystery. She also knows something about the traditional festivals here.

However, Kal'tsit's aesthetic is slightly in conflict with Yan Country's culture, especially this kind of popular culture, which challenges Kal'tsit's aesthetic. This is also one of the reasons why she is not so enthusiastic about the Chinese New Year.

As expected, she still prefers lighter colors. This bright red color for the New Year... Kal'tsit really finds it a bit challenging.

"Can't you wear something lighter? I suggest that even pink would be better than what you're wearing now."

"Pink is for concubines!"

Chen Qi finally put up the couplets. Looking at these rows of couplets, which were a bit cliché but truly expressed people's wishes for the New Year, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Hey! Chen Qi!"

There was another voice coming from below. Several figures came running from the other side of Rhodes Island. Ifrit, who was also dressed in bright red, was seen waving at Chen Qi:

"Longmen is very lively! Chen Qi! Come down and play with us!"

At Longmen not far away, bunches of colorful flames flew towards the sky, and then, earth-shaking flowers bloomed!

Today is New Year, a day of rebirth.

Chapter 17: I hope the doctor is okay (Namaste)

After Chen Qi put up the couplet, he also jumped down from the top of Rhodes Island. With his agile body, he had no problem sitting down from a height of more than ten meters.
