“There are a lot of problems here. If we really want to find them, there are too many. But what we need to do is not that complicated. Next, there is another group of infected people from Ursus. We just need to find a way to appease them and provide some guidance.”

As Su Rui spoke, she opened her scanning field of vision with some doubt and muttered to herself:

“I remember Mudrock should still be in Kazdel. After all, the situation there has improved a lot, and with Talulah in Ursus, there shouldn’t be any infected people escaping.”

However, when Su Rui's scanning vision searched for the infected groups, he discovered that the leader of the group was none other than Mud Rock.

However, contrary to Su Rui's expectations, the team led by Mudrock was neither hungry nor tired. Their equipment was excellent, and apart from being somewhat travel-worn, they looked like a mercenary group that could do very well.

Of course, that's not entirely true, because there are quite a few Sarkaz in the team who have little combat experience and are the type who have never seen blood before.

"So what happened?" Suri wanted to find out what was going on, but there was no information on either Mudrock or the others.

Mudrock's personal terminal seemed to be just for show; there were basically no usage records, and naturally, no information about his actions.

They probably set off after receiving the task of verbally conveying it, and it's true that Kazdel doesn't have a large educated population at this stage.

Su Rui glanced at Ren Dong, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, and said:

"There's something I need to do. I need to go check on those mercenaries and ask them about their situation."

"Does it concern the safety of Wolumond?" Honeysuckle asked, clinging to Suri's large tail.

"No, but I do need to find out what happened. I can go by myself."

"No, I'll go with you."

Volume 7, Chapter 407: Soothing Dance and Music

"When are you planning to go?" Honeysuckle wouldn't let Su Rui act alone, so she immediately grabbed Su Rui's wrist, staring intently into Su Rui's eyes:

What if you encounter danger?

"I'm more worried that you've encountered danger."

Suri sighed helplessly. Even if those Sarkaz suddenly flared up for some reason, Suri wouldn't really be in any danger. But Suri wasn't like Honeysuckle who got Oripathy from her injury.

"With you here, I won't be in any danger. Besides, you're capable of fighting, aren't you?" Ren Dong looked into Su Rui's eyes and said firmly.

"Now we have two choices. The first is for you and me to go see those Sarkaz mercenaries and find out their purpose. The second is to ignore them. As long as they don't cause trouble, we won't bother with them. What do you think?"

“I chose the first one because they are approaching us now, and if we don’t take action, we will eventually run into them.”

Su Rui shrugged and took Ren Dong's hand to comfort her:

"However, I just checked their route. They should stay in Wolumond for a while. Once we've resolved the issues here, we can run into them and ask them then. Even if they want to do something, I'm not one to be trifled with."

Honeysuckle nodded. While she was chatting with Suri, Aya and Suzuran in the room had already finished treating Anto.

Linglan gently opened the door, looked at Su Rui and Ren Dong huddled together, and said softly:

"The surgery is over. Shall we come in?"

"Why do you look so nervous?" Su Rui reached out and pinched Linglan's ear, causing the little girl to twitch her ear subconsciously.

"Because Mom and Dad might be a little busy..."

Linglan blushed slightly and shyly avoided Su Rui's gaze.

From a young age, Ren Dong and Su Rui's interactions were somewhat inconsiderate of the occasion. Occasionally, when Ren Dong and Su Rui were kissing, the impetuous little Ling Lan would barge in and witness the two adults interacting.

So, over time, whenever Su Rui and Ren Dong were alone together, Ling Lan would always be careful not to disturb the two adults in her family, for fear of scaring them.

Little Lily of the Valley has gone to great lengths for this family.

After hearing Xiao Linglan's explanation, Su Rui couldn't help but glance at Ren Dong with a teasing look. Although Su Rui herself was also very enthusiastic about these things, Ren Dong was the most enthusiastic. She often took the initiative to pull Su Rui along and be affectionate with her regardless of the occasion.

"Ahem." Honeysuckle coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, and patted Lily of the Valley's head:

"Alright, Lisa, let's go in and check on Anto."

Anto's condition improved considerably after more intensive treatment; even when he moved around, as long as he didn't engage in any strenuous exercise, his wounds wouldn't tear or bleed.

Anto, his body bandaged, sat on the operating table and saw Su Rui and Ren Dong walk in. He couldn't help but show a grateful look in his eyes.

"Thanks to your help, Ya Ye was able to find us so quickly, and Mr. Su Rui... thank you for your amazing magic."

While it's difficult to attribute Suri's ability to conjure things out of thin air to magic, Anto accepted the explanation; after all, there was no need to delve into the secrets of his savior, was there?

"It's good that you're alright. Now that Anto has been found, the next thing we need to do is go back and find Severin. We can't let the attack on Rhodes Island go unpunished."

Although Rhodes Island has always maintained a moderate stance towards foreign affairs, now that Suri is making the decision, it certainly can't be left like this.

Moreover, providing assistance naturally requires compensation. Rhodes Island may not lack material things, but at the very least, other forms of compensation should not be lacking.

With this in mind, Suri and Honeysuckle quickly found Severin again. At that moment, the military police officer was chatting with Tatiana, seemingly about Rhodes Island.

"Hello, Commander Severin, we've come to discuss the upcoming arrangements for Wolumond."

Severin and Tatiana weren't in the room, so Suri went straight to them and made a sound to get their attention.

"Who are you? I've never seen you before, nor have I received any notification that you've entered the city."

Severin turned to look at Suri, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Don't tell me you didn't see it. I helped you quell the riots in the city. Where were you then? You and your men were just staring blankly at my performance."

Unlike others who would consider their status and indulge the person in front of them, Su Ruike retorted on the spot with a bad attitude.

“We could have solved this problem ourselves… but thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid many more people would have been hurt.”

Severin stopped arguing with Suri and instead looked at the people around Suri, who seemed more composed:

"So, fellow Rhodes Island operators, is there anything else you need from me? If it's about the performance I mentioned before, there's no need to ask for my permission. If anyone had objections to this, she's probably already been severely punished, right?"

As he spoke, Severin chuckled softly a few times.

So this guy was just pretending to be confused, deliberately trying to give Su Rui a hard time, but Su Rui shut him down.

"Of course, it's not just these things. I think Wolumonde needs to bear some responsibility for Rhodes Island's losses."

It was Honeysuckle who spoke first, and noticing that Severin's expression was somewhat troubled, Honeysuckle continued:

"Of course, we understand the situation in Wolumonde and won't make things difficult for you. We just need to give Rhodes Island some conveniences. For example, we need a new location for a construction site and some additional permits."

These were all things that Severin could agree to within the authority of a military police captain, and they were things that Suri had marked from the beginning.

To maximize her gains, Su Rui deliberately set some conditions higher, so that after some haggling, she could get everything she originally hoped to get.

With the intelligence provided by Suri's scanning vision and the analysis of Severin's emotions, the communication between Honeysuckle and others progressed smoothly.

They encountered almost no difficulties, and all the reactions were within Suri and Honeysuckle's expectations. Soon, Rhodes Island got everything it wanted.

Of course, Rhodes Island also has to pay a price for this, which is naturally the performance that Suri had promised to put on to appease people.

Volume 7, Chapter 408: Bow down to me!

This so-called small town of Wolumonde actually has a structure that resembles a parliament.

A group of self-proclaimed respected elders gathered together to discuss the so-called future of the town.

Of course, in the country of Letania, it was only because the nobles in this town were all out attending the banquet that these so-called elders had the opportunity to make the decision.

That's what Su Rui said too. When someone stood up to disrupt his plans, Su Rui didn't hold back and scolded them all.

"You're nothing but a bunch of self-proclaimed clever idiots who dare to point fingers at me. Even those nobles you speak of would have to behave themselves in front of me. If you say another word, I'll hang you all up!"

Although the Leitanians couldn't understand some of what Suri said, it didn't stop his arrogant demeanor from scaring them away.

Even Linglan, somewhat curious, leaned closer to him and asked with a laugh:

"Does Dad know some important people here?"

"I don't know her." Su Rui reached out and pinched Linglan's ear, leaning closer to her and laughing as she spoke:

"But even if some important person really comes to me, I have a lot of reasons to persuade or threaten them."

After all, it's too easy to find fault with a nobleman. If it's a nobleman with morals... such a person wouldn't bother Su Rui, since what Su Rui is doing now is for the sake of the people here.

So, at Su Rui's urging, a stage was quickly set up in the square of Wolumonde. Although the current situation was not optimistic, the people here still prepared a reasonably suitable place for Su Rui to perform.

"It's still quite a bit worse than when you performed the Kagura dance before. How does it feel?" Ren Dong came to Su Rui's side and handed him a cup of hot drink.

"It's alright. Anyway, the stage is the least important part of the performance. I don't need the stage to match my performance. As long as the stage doesn't suddenly collapse and make me fall off during my performance, it's fine."

As Su Rui spoke, she looked at Ling Lan, who was sitting nervously reviewing her notes, preparing to go on stage.

"If you get so nervous that you forget the moves, just look at me. I'll be standing a little in front of you."

Suri reached out and ruffled Linglan's hair, then walked toward the stage. The audience had already surrounded the stage in a sea of ​​people, and Suri and Linglan had already changed their clothes and staffs.

"Yes, I'm ready."

Lily answered Suri in a lovely voice, then followed Suri with small, quick steps, walking onto the stage behind her.

In the spacious square of Wolumonmold, the onlookers initially mingled and discussed the matter, but the discussion was not intense.

When Suri and Suzuran came onto the stage, the discussion became even more heated, adding a lively atmosphere to the otherwise oppressive small town.

Lily of the Valley was also a little nervous because of the bustling audience below, to the point that her calves were trembling slightly.

Suri noticed this, so he raised his hand and gently tapped the ground with his staff. The spell spread throughout the square from Suri's feet, gradually quieting the audience down.

Then, as the spell took effect, music began to play, and Suri and Suzuran gently swayed their nine fluffy tails to the rhythm.

The gentle jingling of bells, the rhythmic tapping of staffs on the ground and the dance steps created a soothing atmosphere that washed away stress and dust from everyone's hearts.

The effects of the magic and dance gradually spread with Suri and Suzuran's dance steps, and the people on the street went from being curious and confused to being immersed in the performance.

Even Aya and Anto, who are also Rhodes Island operators, were immersed in it.

However, Honeysuckle was not included in this list, because she was also responsible for ensuring Suri's safety, and partly because Honeysuckle had already witnessed Suri's Kagura Dance quite a few times.

Various dance moves, such as Harvest, Longevity, Prosperity, and Wealth, have all been performed by Suri and Honeysuckle in duo queue or in trio queue with Texas, and she always pulls both of them along.

So honeysuckle isn't unusual. Although I also enjoy this kind of performance, I'm not as completely captivated as other people who are experiencing the charm of a nine-tailed fox for the first time.

Just as Suri and Suzuran were performing, Honeysuckle noticed the markers in her field of vision. Mudrock, whom Suri had mentioned, was leading her team into the city of Wolumonde.

This is not just a simple group of infected people; the vast majority of them are Sarkaz, or rather, almost all of them are Sarkaz. In comparison, the infected are the least noticeable part.

Ren Dong glanced in Su Rui's direction, but when their eyes met, she didn't see any panic in Su Rui's eyes.

Within the scanning field of vision, Su Rui simply marked this team.

"Don't be nervous. Mudstone and I actually know each other. I'm just a little worried that her teammates might misunderstand because they don't know each other."

Although Su Rui, who was dancing on the high platform, did not speak, Ren Dong heard his voice.

While Su Rui's explanation relieved Ren Dong, it also made her somewhat suspicious of the relationship between Su Rui and Ni Yan:

Are you familiar with mudstone?

"We're not familiar with each other, we just have some acquaintances, to put it simply, we're just acquaintances."

Suri wasn't nervous, after all, he and Mudrock were just acquaintances, and he had only commanded Mudrock to lead a team on a mission once. They hadn't developed the kind of intimate relationship that he had with Vishdel or Theresa.

'Really? Could you introduce your host in Kazdel to me?'

Unlike Suri, Honeysuckle is not easily distracted by certain topics. Since Suri knows people from Kazdel, it means that Suri's simulation brought him to Kazdel.

"Hmm, Doctor, you know her, right? She's my host in Kazdel, in other words, she's my mom."

Although she wasn't particularly worried about Ren Dong taking action because of these things, this time the problem just happened to be the one that Su Rui was least concerned about.

"Really?" Honeysuckle paused, taken aback. "I never expected something like this to happen... What happened back then?"

"To be honest, I also find it a bit hard to understand. My mom's explanation is this: she said that as a child, my favorability is naturally full, so she directly made me materialize."

"I see. Tell me more about it later, I'm very curious."

Honeysuckle looked at Su Rui on the stage, putting the matter of mudstone aside.

Volume 7, Chapter 409: Mudstone in Contemplation

The dance music of the nine-tailed fox is a sacrificial dance music, so it naturally lasts a long time. As a result, the second half of the dance music becomes a test of the dancers' physical strength.

As Suri and Suzuran grew tired and the rhythm slowed down with the music, Mudrock led his team to Wolumond.

To avoid arousing the suspicion of the local residents, Niyan did not lead his troops into the city. Instead, he had his troops stationed outside the city while he entered the city alone.

"I'll go scout out the city. If everything's alright, we'll search this place, gather some supplies, find our compatriots, and then leave. If anything happens..."
