The wealthy people in Ark like to collect antiques from the past.

But in most cases, many things on the ground are not allowed to be brought into the Ark, so they can only be smuggled or asked to be secretly brought back by some commanders who can go to the ground, so these antique collections are generally sold at very high prices.

“This is the debut album of the first Nikki idol, Preeti. How on earth did it end up on the ground?”

Anis held an album in her arms, her face showing an expression of reluctance to let it go: "No matter what, it's mine now. I will take it back and keep it well."

"Um……"

"Have you all picked out anything? I don't really have anything I want."

Rabbi saw that everyone was so excited, but he didn't want anything in particular.

She is a person with very low material desires.

I am used to saving money and live a calm life with a simple routine every day, so I don’t have any special interests or hobbies.

After much thought, she took some antique coins from the pile of boxes. Although they were a bit vulgar, if she sold them, many collectors in the Ark would probably be happy to pay a high price for them.

"Hey, you can marvel at it all you want! This is just a portion of our kingdom's assets."

Zhong Ming chuckled and continued to tempt her: "How about it? Compared to the Ark, the conditions here are not bad, right?"

"Although some of the facilities may be a bit rudimentary, living here means I don't have to go out on dangerous missions anymore. Sounds pretty good, right? So, is there anyone willing to stay and become a citizen of the kingdom?"

"..."

No one answered.

Honglian was drinking, Snow White was showing off her fantasies, and Rapunzel was daydreaming about the little H book.

As for the three Ravis, it is even more impossible for them to agree.

Silence is the castle tonight.

Finally, Green, considering their friendship, smiled and said, "I still have some things I must do in the Ark, so I'm afraid I can't be a subject of His Majesty's kingdom. However, I'd be happy to be an honorary citizen. What do you think?"

"Okay, sure!"

"Honorary citizens are also considered citizens, right? Ahem, miss, since someone wants to be an honorary citizen, how about we find a time to hold a conferment ceremony for him?"

"Well, of course!"

Huang Guan quickly nodded and agreed, but her cultural level might be a little low. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what "conferring a title" meant.

"Influenced by the wind... beast madness?"

"Rapunzel, may I ask what investiture means?"

The crown quietly tapped and poked Rapunzel's arm and asked quietly.

"Investiture ceremony?"

When Rapunzel heard this word, she immediately became excited: "Wow, I don't know why, but this word feels a little strange. Have I seen a comic like this before?"

"Ah, I remembered!"

"An investiture ceremony is a ceremony where a high-ranking lord or king bestows rewards upon his subjects. Generally speaking, many gifts are prepared for the recipient."

"Oh, is that so? But I don't think I have anything good to give Mr. Green."

Crown was stunned for a moment. She thought about her personal belongings for a while, and it seemed that there was nothing valuable in them.

Green only took some magazines and books from Zhong Ming.

He doesn't seem to be that interested in money. If that's the case, what else can the crown reward him?

"Hmm... I remember a similar plot in a comic book. When there's really nothing you can offer, you can only repay with your body... Haah~ Faced with an honest and upright minister who is not tempted by external things, the king finally decides to take up arms himself. This is a super classic plot development, isn't it? Just thinking about it makes people feel excited~?" Rapunzel held her cheek with her hand and immersed herself in her rosy delusion.

"Huh? What?"

"So...I have to pay it back with my body?"

"I understand."

The crown was fooled by Rapunzel and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

She really didn't expect that this so-called conferring ceremony would involve such a thing.

But she had already agreed. If she went back on her word, wouldn't it make her, as a king, seem petty?

not.

As a king, how can you go back on your word and go back on your words?

In short, she must do it since she has agreed to do it.

Having made up his mind, Crown smiled a little nervously and nodded to Green, saying, "Mr. Green, please come to my room tonight. I will help you with the investiture ceremony."

"Hmm? Can't we do it in the main hall?"

Green tilted his head slightly in confusion. "Generally speaking, this is done in places like the main hall, right?"

"The Grand Hall?"

"Uh, are you going to confer the title of Mother in the main hall? No, no, no, that place might be a little too stimulating for me. Let's hold the ceremony in the room."

The crown was obviously frightened. How could such an innocent and cute girl like Nikki dare to do such a thing in the hall?

Come on, she's not a pervert, okay?

So this kind of thing has to be done secretly.

"I'll be waiting for you in the room. Please hurry up."

"Okay, after we finish eating, I'll rest for a while and then go over."

"I'm going back to my room now, everyone."

Green nodded to the Nikkis and went back to his room with his spoils.

pat.

Turn on the desk lamp.

Green lay back on the bed and leisurely savored the swimsuit magazines of the last century, and soon he was savoring a lot of history.

"No, isn't that a blonde beauty with big curly hair on the cover? Why are there so many black men with thick lips stuffed in there?"

"Damn, cover fraud, huh?"

Green cursed and threw the magazine in his hand aside.

He could not have imagined that a century later, he would actually taste the original politically correct shit from that time. How should I put it, his mood is still a little complicated.

"My good mood is gone."

"Well, I can only say that every century has its own cancer..."

Green opened the window, admired the moonlight for a while to change his mood, then pushed open the door and wanted to see what Crown was doing.

He was called to receive the title in the middle of the night. Could it be that there was something personal he wanted to discuss with him?

Chapter 318: The rivalry between Rabbi and Marianne.

The castle was quiet at night.

This castle, standing on a hill, faces the plain. Through the stained glass windows, you can vaguely see the gentle moonlight shining on the wilderness.

"The moonlight is so beautiful."

"Compared to the fake sky, the real moon is indeed more beautiful."

"..."

"Do the people of the Ark know that there is a moon in this world?"

Green stopped by the window, admiring the moonlight for a while, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

There is no moon in the Ark at night. Neon lights replace the moonlight, illuminating every corner of the city. Young people living in this era may not have any impression of the moon. Even the textbooks have erased too much information about the moon.

As for the reasons... naturally there are many. It may be to maintain human mental health, or it may be to save electricity. In short, the upper echelons of the Ark always have many reasons to implement policies that are conducive to maintaining their rule.

"Those trapped underground should really be able to take a good look at the sky."

"The moonlight shines on the sea, and the breeze blows across the hills..."

“We’re meant to live in a land like this.”

"..."

Green whispered softly.

Just when he was lost in thought, a pair of slender hands suddenly reached out from behind and gently held his chest.

When I turned around, it was Marianne.

She was like a ghost. No one knew when she came, and there was not even the sound of footsteps. However, this sudden hug added a touch of warmth to the cold moonlight.

"Marianne, when did you come?"

"Commander, I saw you on my way back to my room, so I sneaked over here."

"What are you thinking about, alone at the window?"

Marianne smiled, then let go of his hand and leaned against the window with him, gazing at the scenery of the plains. "Are you looking at the scenery, or are you thinking about something?"

"A little bit of both."

Green smiled and said, "I've always felt that the dead of night is a good time to be sentimental. I think about what happened during the day, recall the stupid things I did in the past, and then remind myself not to be stupid again. I reflect on myself."

"But apart from self-reflection, I also sometimes feel that life is terrible, many things are a mess, and the future is unclear. Even someone with plans like me would hesitate and not know where to go."

"But no matter what, I still have to sleep. Tomorrow I will open my eyes and greet a new day, a new job, and a new life."

"..."

"commander."

"You always put everything on your shoulders, but that kind of life is very tiring."

The breeze ruffled Marianne's silver hair.

It might be an illusion, but Green always felt that her hair color became more shiny.

Green glanced at Marian's bright profile, but just shook his head and smiled, "Are you tired?"

"It's been a tiring journey. We've fought countless days and nights, and have been on the brink of life and death many times. I've thought about giving up many times, but I've always gritted my teeth and persevered."

"Marianne, why do you think I work so hard?"

"Um……"

"To make everyone happy?"

"Almost. Just like in a fairy tale, I hope that in the end, all the people I love can have a happy and perfect ending."

Green looked up at the bright stars in the sky, and his eyes also shone with his own bright light.

"But that's very difficult to do, Marianne..."

“Human beings pursue many different things throughout their lives.”

"Some people seek money, wealth, power."

"Some people pursue ideals, justice, and truth."

"Although we are all human beings, it is always difficult for people to understand each other because of their different values and thoughts."

"Take me, for example. To Nikki, they always say I'm a savior, a saint unafraid of the world, and a noble person willing to betray my own camp. But to the people of Ark, I'm a madman, a fool, and a saint."

“Reality is not a fairy tale. It’s hard to make everyone happy.”

“But it is precisely because of this that I have the motivation to keep fighting.”

"I won't stop until I reach the perfect ending I want. What about you? Do you want to join me?"

Green held out his hand to Marianne.

The breeze ruffled her silver hair.

She lifted a strand of hair from her ear, then smiled and held his hand tightly.

"Me too, Commander."
