But unlike Horhaiya, a scholar of noble birth among the gods, they, who have experienced the lower class, understand the principle of being ignorant and careless.
Being able to think clearly is a skill, and being able to pretend to be confused is even more of a skill.
With both parties' deliberate efforts to speed up the process, the handover went smoothly.
Holhaiya handed the container of the Holy Healing Potion to Tallulah for confirmation, and Tallulah gave the box full of money to Holhaiya for counting.
That’s right, of course Rhodes Island’s potions are charged!
That's a potion worth hundreds of millions. Rhodes Island's money is not something that comes from the wind. It's not something that can be given away for free! That money is earned by the operators working hard at the manufacturing station, doing business with various parties, accepting commissions as mercenaries, and risking their lives!
Oh, there is also a portion of income from drug sales, but Rhode Island’s treatment has a certain charitable nature, and the income is basically negligible compared to other income.
Most of them are the same as this transaction with the Integration Movement. They charge the cost price, add some labor costs and travel expenses, and that’s about it.
Although it is a bit strange that a medical company does not usually make money mainly by selling medicine to treat diseases, the people of Rhodes Island believe that this is the only thing a company that dreams of curing all Terran mineral disease patients should do.
They came together under the banner of Rhodes Island because of their dreams, not because they wanted to get rich.
Otherwise, with the strength of those coupled practitioners in Rhodes Island, if they go to a small country, they will probably have to be treated like treasures. Isn't it better than having conflicts with dignitaries of various countries from time to time in Rhodes Island and picking up fists to fight at any time?
They are not here for money or fame!
Terra, a land full of suffering, gave birth to many sinister and dirty hearts, but it also gave birth to many idealists through the enlightenment between life and death.
For the evolved minds of the high coupling rate strongmen, it is easy to just glance at the money and goods. Even if the transaction is of great importance, it will take less than half a minute to inspect it repeatedly.
Soon, both sides confirmed that there was no problem with the numbers and they matched.
"Since the transaction is completed, I will leave first. Don't forget to pay the remaining amount on time." Holhaiya said calmly.
The Integration Movement is a grassroots organization for the rescue of infected people, dedicated to protecting the basic rights and interests of the infected. Such an organization naturally has little market in the upper echelons of Ursus, and there are no big financial backers to back them up.
Of course, it is impossible for them to take out hundreds of millions of cash at once.
The cost of feeding so many people in the organization is enough to give them a headache.
When buying medicine from Rhode Island, you can only pay in installments, divided into twelve installments, paid every two months, and paid off in two years.
"Don't worry, the money will arrive on time." Tallulah nodded.
Holhaiya had no doubts about this. Although the Integration Movement had no money, it had many strong people.
Even if I really can’t pay it back, it doesn’t matter.
When the time comes, let Froststar, Patriot and others come to Rhode Island to work for a year or two to pay off the debt... Well, this is one of the clauses written in the installment contract.
Several hundred million in exchange for two years of work by a strong person with 100% coupling rate. Countries can’t find such a suitable deal!
After saying that, Holhaiya was ready to leave. She had been madly pursuing history and truth, and pursuing hope.
But now, as she truly became part of the epic myth of Terra's new age, she shrank back.
She didn't want to stay with a living god like the King of Dawn, or anyone related to him, for even a second longer.
The last time she saw the King of the Dawn, she was nearly killed by the aftermath of his flat punch.
Afterwards, he was involved in the Rhine case, and all his years of hard work went to waste.
She felt that she and Luo Cheng were not compatible, and nothing good would happen if she got involved with him!
The subsequent developments in reality once again proved the accuracy of her premonition.
"You have come from afar, don't be in a hurry to leave. Let us show our hospitality..." The meaning of his words is obviously to keep the guest and entertain him.
"That's right..." One person started, and the others followed suit.
However, everyone has different ideas.
Ifrit discovered that the other party recognized him, so in order not to disturb his plan, he wanted to keep the person and communicate with him in private to ensure that the other party would not interfere with him.
Although Tallulah appeared to be ignorant and did not directly ask Ifrit anything about her identity, now that someone who knew the information had appeared, she naturally wanted to take the opportunity to find out the truth from others.
The remaining few people? Of course, they followed whatever the boss said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Looking at the meaningful eyes of the people around him, Hol Haiya said secretly...
Done!
Chapter 200 Hongmen Banquet?
Horhaiya was determined to reject this "Hongmen Banquet".
But looking at the eager eyes around her, she chose to follow her heart.
There are five people on the opposite side, and any one of them is as strong as her. What can she do?
I could only agree with a smile on my face and tears in my heart.
Looking at the performance of the people on the opposite side, how could she not know that her reaction just now might have exposed her.
Oh, I shouldn’t have come if I had known.
Wouldn't it be good to stay and work on this ship? Why did I take this mission on a whim just because I wanted to do some exercise?
Seeing that Holhaiya agreed, the few of them did not delay and crossed the border between Ursus and Leithania with the secretly regretful Little Feathered Serpent.
Although the border between the two countries is currently on alert, this alert can only protect against ordinary people.
Those conventional patrol deployments are basically useless for those with high coupling rates.
Some important checkpoints and fortresses are guarded by strong men, so they can detect whether ordinary strong men are sneaking in.
But if you really want to come here, there is no need to go through those places, just find a weak point and go around it.
Of course, this defense may seem lax and the enemy can come and go freely, but it is actually well designed.
Luo Cheng's coupling system has been spread in this world for about a year, but there are not many strong people with high coupling rates. Many of them are people who have accumulated a lot of experience in the past and are now making great progress.
The number of strong people is already scarce, and for a big country with a vast territory, this number of people is simply not enough to guard their borders.
So the relevant state departments came up with an idea after careful consideration, and it was quickly adopted.
Then divide the coupled strongmen that the country can command into two groups.
A group of them are stationed in important cities in the country, such as political centers and economic pillars.
Another group of strong men guarded the border fortresses to prevent the army from approaching.
Once it appears that some strong men want to cross the border and carry out a decapitation operation, the strong men guarding the important cities will delay him, and the border defenders will return at high speed, forming an encirclement from the outside to the inside, closing the door and beating the dog.
And if the enemy did not attack the important cities, but chose to attack the small border towns, then the result would not be any different. The strong men on the border would shrink inward with the place where they sought help as the center point, and what awaited them would be a brutal beating.
What? You're asking about the casualties of a small town without strong defenders after being attacked by the enemy?
The top leaders of the country expressed deep condolences...but it was just condolences, since it wasn't them who died anyway.
Do you want me to divert the strength I use to protect myself? That's impossible!
In fact, this method still has some loopholes, but there is no way. The strength of the coupled practitioners is too strong and their mobility is too high. This is the best way they can think of to deal with it.
So the journey across the border was smooth, just like the way they came here.
If they were ordinary strong men, there would be the risk of accidentally encountering border generals who were on random patrols, but for them who had Ifrit, even this risk did not exist.
The few of them carried the goods forward, bypassing important cities, and did not need to travel at too high a speed to avoid the excessive energy reaction triggering the alarm of the disaster monitoring machine. After two or three hours, they returned to the combat headquarters in the northwest ice field from the southwest border.
The headquarters of the Integration Movement has been disbanded by Tallulah. The current Integration Movement is to disperse the members and their relatives who used to be gathered in a large town to various cities and towns in the northwest ice field, hiding the troops among the people.
Only a few main combat units such as the Snow Monster Squad and the Patriot Unit were left, forming a combat headquarters here to receive training and carry out operational deployment.
To put it simply, the original military and civilian integration was transformed into a professional militarized team, and the base was changed.
After landing, Bozhukasti and others came to greet them. After confirming that they were all fine and no other problems occurred during the journey, he immediately called his subordinates to start unloading the cargo.
Some of those medicines need to be distributed immediately.
Compared with the scarce influx of black market medicines, the number of infected people in Ursus is too large. Even if the Integration Movement does not accept all the infected people in Ursus, their medicines are always insufficient.
As for medicines, they are currently giving priority to critically ill patients, followed by pregnant women, the elderly, children, and other groups who are more likely to suffer accidents.
If you are willing to join the battle and have the potential in this area, you can take the other path of 'Holy Healing-Spark'.
However, there are many people who are willing to fight, but very few who have the potential to practice. In the entire integration movement, there are only about a hundred people who are qualified for special treatment.
The rest have to take numbers and queue up.
Ever since Ursus sent a team to attend the International Agricultural Summit in Iberia some time ago and had unpleasant experiences with a large number of surrounding countries, the borders of Ursus have been more heavily guarded, although for a coupled powerhouse like Ifrit, it is still basically equivalent to being undefended.
But those black market traders don't have such means.
They were blocked at the border of Ursus and were unable to deliver the goods.
In fact, if you really want to take a risk, there are opportunities, but the risks are too great now and in the past. No one would choose to do a business where the risks and benefits are not proportional.
Therefore, the supply of medicine to the integration movement has been interrupted for quite some time.
It was not a big deal for the infected people who were waiting in line. Under normal circumstances, mineral sickness was not an acute and severe disease. It would not be a problem if they waited for a while.
However, the newly added critically ill patients have been waiting for no medicine, and some of them have reached a very dangerous situation. They may die at any time due to the Originium energy riot.
The sooner the medicine is delivered, the less risk there will be.
The members of the unloading organization calculated the quantity of medicines, recorded them in documents, and began to divide the areas where the patients were located according to the information of critically ill patients previously registered. The combat team was divided into several groups, each of which was responsible for delivering goods to an area.
After the tasks were assigned, several groups put on backpacks containing life-saving medicine and immediately set off running.
That's right, just run.
With the current level of technology, ordinary civilian cars are not even fast enough to carry the shoes of a coupled practitioner, and are even slower than those of the users of the Holy Healing Potion.
If we take a car, it would be too slow. It would be better for these people to run all the way there, breaking the sound barrier.
As the combat team members ran into the distance.
After finishing the key tasks, the members of the Integration Movement finally had time to entertain their guests.
Tallulah said with a gentle smile on her face, "Ms. Holhaiya, please."
Chapter 201 Being honest is not necessarily a bad thing!
Holhaiya didn't think it was an offense for them to leave him here.
She had worked in Rhode Island for some time and had experienced similar things.
In the eyes of doctors and some Rhodes Island members, the patient's life is extremely important, and everything else has to take a back seat.
Once they enter the rescue phase, they tend to ignore other things around them.
So instead of feeling angry, she felt a little better because of the forced invitation from the Integration Movement.
Knowing that what she did this time was not very authentic, Tallulah invited Holhaiya into the depths of the combat headquarters with a gentle and apologetic smile.
This building was just completed less than two days ago. Although people built it very quickly with the help of Originium technology, some precision items such as televisions are relatively rare here.
Few people can rub this kind of thing by hand on the spot.
The decoration on the wall is generally based on relief, which saves time and effort for the magician.
The power system has not yet been fully laid out, and some lighting still uses raw Originium technology.
Although the place was a bit simple, the Integration Movement was still very sincere in its hospitality to Horhaiya.
Almost all the senior executives who are still in the combat headquarters, including Bozhucasti, Shuangxing and others, all attended the welcoming banquet for Holhaiya.
But no matter how considerate the hospitality of the Integration Movement was, Holhaiya felt uncomfortable sitting next to Ifrit.
Fortunately, Ifrit didn't stay here for long, but left first, saying that "it was time for daily practice."
As the fire demon left, Holhaiya breathed a sigh of relief.
Shortly after Ifrit left, Holhayya chose to get straight to the point with everyone in the Reunion Movement.
As a Quetzalcoatl who is capable of becoming a historian, possesses the wisdom inherited from her ancestors, and once had a considerable foundation in Colombia, she is not a fool, and naturally knows clearly why the Integration Movement left her behind.
So she didn't wait for the wine to be served and the dishes to be served. She stood up from her chair and said bluntly: "I know what you mean and what you want to ask."
"But I can't really say much."
As he spoke, he raised his arms and suddenly bowed to his side.
"Having said this, if you don't understand, then there is nothing I can do." Having said that, Holhaiya stood there for a few seconds without waiting for everyone's reaction. When she found that nothing happened, she sat down again and began to concentrate on tasting the banquet delicacies prepared for her by the Integration Movement.
