People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

But just seconds later, she shook her head;

"Feel sorry."

"Brother, I still can't leave."

She gave a wry smile and offered her final, convincing reason:

“There is something beneath the Great Wilderness City, and I have been suppressing it here for hundreds of years.”

"If I leave, the pollution from that thing will immediately erupt. At that time, the entire Great Wilderness City will be in danger."

"I can leave for the good of Great Wilderness City. But for the survival of Great Wilderness City, I must stay."

Chongyue's expression turned serious. He narrowed his eyes, his tone turning cold:

"Does the Yan Kingdom know about this? Does the Si Sui Tai know about it?"

The millet remained silent and did not answer.

Chongyue showed a rare hint of anger.

"So, you're just going to stay here like this?"

"Sister Shu, we may have some resistance to pollution, but that doesn't mean we can ignore it!"

"Several hundred years have passed, you..."

He suddenly realized something and looked at Shu in disbelief.

"You used your power?"

Over hundreds of years, the corruption of evil forces would be enough to turn a mature behemoth into a collapsed, empty shell.

But Shu still looked perfectly normal; apart from being a little melancholy, there was nothing unusual about him.

The only possibility is that she somehow reduced the impact of the pollution.

Her power is capable of doing this, after all, it's about cause and effect.

Chongyue looked at the smiling Shu, his brows furrowed:

"So, what's the price?"

"Infection can lead to loss of control and madness. I'm attributing this cause and effect to my obsession."

"I cannot leave this place. I will protect this place and suppress evil spirits. This is my obsession."

Pollution leads to loss of control and paranoia. The millet then uses its power to graft this destructive paranoia onto protection. The deeper the pollution, the less she can leave, thus creating a cycle.

This might seem like a sustainable solution, but even powers have their limits.

The out-of-control phenomena caused by the demonic pollution will eventually spread to [Power]. What will happen then? Not to mention Shu, even Chongyue, who is knowledgeable and has inherited the most knowledge and power from the Year Beast, doesn't know!

The unknown is the greatest fear!

It is by bearing this fear and using this method that Shu has maintained his rationality in a semi-mad state and persevered to this day.

Chongyue took a deep breath and forced himself to regain his composure.

He was very clear-headed; he knew that launching an attack was not the right thing to do.

Whether this was Shu's choice or Yan's deliberate indulgence, it should end under these circumstances.

"I'll find a way."

Chongyue spoke slowly.

Shu smiled and shook his head:

"Brother, do you know what pollution is? If you've just gotten this stuff on you, there might still be a chance to wash it off, but I'm already like this, what can I do?"

"There will be."

Chongyue gently patted his somewhat pitiful younger sister's head.

"You've never been out there, you don't know how vast the world is, or how many talented and extraordinary people there are."

"Clean up pollution is difficult for us, but it might just be a piece of cake for someone else?"

Chapter 911 Ursus: It's over, Ernst's done for!

Rhode Island.

When Amiya found Kael'thas, Kael'thas was also thinking of calling Amiya over. (Three, "Four Four")

Upon seeing each other again after so long, Amiya's curious gaze stirred a strange feeling in Kal'tsit's heart.

"What are you looking at, Amiya?"

Amiya gave a sweet smile:

"Is there anything different about Dr. Kal'tsit compared to before?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Mr. Ernst said that Dr. Kal'tsit did not return to Rhodes Island during this period because she had the opportunity to evolve."

God got a chance, God evolved.

Kal'tsit's forehead veins bulged, and her lips twitched as if she wanted to curse.

Unfortunately, I can't curse them.

After all, she was Lady Ernst. Precys lifted the ban on uttering her name and replaced it with the order, "No disrespect is allowed towards Ernst."

Well, Ernst was actually quite respectable. Although he was a "treasure" of the prehistoric civilization, he really didn't have any of the airs of the prehistoric civilization. He integrated very successfully. Kal'tsit hadn't recognized him even after all this time, had she?

"I haven't evolved, I've just changed a little."

Kal'tsit gave a somewhat vague answer, then quickly changed the subject.

"Amiya, you've done a great job lately and are already capable of handling things on your own."

"Because I'm also trying!"

Amiya scratched her head shyly.

"Moreover, everyone has helped me a lot."

"There are some things I'm still not quite able to handle. I'm relieved that Dr. Kal'tsit is back."

Kal'tsit smiled at Amiya and gently shook her head;

"No, Amiya, you've done very well."

"I came here today to talk to you about this matter."

“After the Londinium incident, it’s impossible for Rhodes Island to maintain its previous low profile. Therefore, if necessary, we can leverage the power of the World Summit.”

Amiya nodded.

"Mr. Ernst has already mentioned this to me."

"He said we could be affiliated with the World Health Organization, so that while maintaining a certain degree of independence, we could use the World Summit's name to legitimately enter and exit those war zones to provide medical support and advice on infected individuals. We could also maintain a certain level of armed force with a legitimate basis."

"But if that's the case, we can't hire agents privately like we do now."

"What does Dr. Kal'tsit think?"

Kal'tsit was silent for a moment, then nodded:

"Reasonable."

This offer is indeed quite generous. Signing a contract with the Universal Medical Organization and becoming a subsidiary partner will greatly reduce Rhodes Island's worries.

For example, if the Londinium incident were to happen again, Rhodes Island would not need to enter Victoria as a "garbage truck" or use Ernst's name to contact Grand Dukes like Caesar.

The mere name of the World Summit was enough to draw Rhodes Island's attention and secure a meeting with them.

As for the inability to recruit and hire operators privately, this does have a significant impact on Rhodes Island.

But Kelsey could also understand Ernst's intentions.

Rhodes Island's recruitment standards for operators are, to put it nicely, a mixed bag; to put it bluntly, they recruit all sorts of people.

Among them are some individuals with a long history of misconduct.

Previously, Ernst could ignore it, but if Rhodes Island were to become affiliated with them, the political vetting process would have to be re-evaluated.

Some might ask, didn't they not conduct a background check when they were recruiting?

That's because back then, Kjerag really had nothing left to mess with; it was already at rock bottom, and everything was going to improve. But now, times have changed. The Kjerag government is expanding its recruitment, with positions like Joyce's Treasury, Lola's Engineering Department, and even the front desk receptionist position in Hinterlanda now having their own set of requirements, whether it's academic qualifications, mathematical ability, work (and some less-than-ideal) experience, or appearance and communication skills.

Rain is an inevitable trend.

Han has to give up something to gain something, and Kal'tsit has no objection to this.

She was more curious about Amiya's opinion.

"Amiya, what do you think?"

"I think it's fine. But I hope Mr. Ernst can give Rhodes Island more freedom."

She hesitated for a moment, but still spoke her mind.

"Because Rhodes Island was established to save more people, I think that even if we can no longer hire operators at will, it would be best to try to secure some temporary positions."

"After all, most of the infected people don't have much education."

3 After she finished speaking, she swallowed and glanced at Kal'tsit somewhat cautiously.

4. Kal'tsit laughed.

Samia is right, this is indeed a very crucial issue.

Most of the infected, the Sarkaz, or the oppressed are not well-educated and are not particularly talented.

But these people's lack of talent and virtue is not because they were born to be this way. Just like the women who work the red-light district in London, they seem to have chosen this path out of their own free will, but in fact, they had no other path to choose from.

Rhodes Island was established to help these kinds of people. Therefore, within Rhodes Island, you'll find many highly qualified individuals, as well as those who resemble thugs and hooligans. Their personalities and character don't necessarily mean they are bad; they simply haven't had the opportunity to become better.

Rhodes Island should have recruited them, helped them become better, and then made them role models to lead a region to become better. But if Rhodes Island starts to demand the same recruitment standards as the World Summit, then Rhodes Island has lost its original purpose.

After all, those who meet the requirements of the World Summit can be summed up in two words: [elites].

And elites, regardless of their field, when they gather together, inevitably become detached from the masses, from reality, and even from their original purpose.

Amiya may not have realized such a deep-seated nature, but she had already rudimentarily sensed the harm this standard posed to Rhodes Island.

Kal'tsit was pleased.

"Then let's do as you say, Amiya."

She said earnestly,

“Go and renegotiate this matter with Ernst, state our own demands, and have a standard negotiation. You lead the way, Amiya.”

"Me...me?"

Amiya's ears perked up immediately, somewhat surprised.

Kal'tsit nodded firmly:

"I will assist you from behind. This negotiation will be conducted by you personally."

"Just treat it as an exam. I'll ask Mr. Ernst to go easy on you."

"No, no need!"

Amiya pursed her lips and shook her head.

"I will do my best and not hold back!"

Kal'tsit shrugged.

Good, that's very ambitious.

But whether she says anything or not is actually useless; Ernst will definitely go easy on her, he's too kind to his family and friends.

Like the sun, its gravity and warmth sometimes leave one unsure how to respond.

However, after finishing talking about Amiya's situation, she also had something to discuss with Amiya.

"Amiya, I called you here because I do have something to discuss with you."

Kelsey said,

“A week from now, we will set off with Mr. Ernst for Ursus.”
