The Terra Travel Diary of Neither Sacred, Rhea, nor Terra

Thinking of this, Saria drank the champagne in her hand in one gulp and put it casually on the tray in the hands of the waiter beside her.

"Ms. Saria!" A warm voice sounded in Saria's ears.

Turning her head, Saria saw two middle-aged men who looked familiar smiling at her with great enthusiasm.

One of the Caprini men saw Saria turn her eyes away and immediately said:

"You and Ms. Kristen Wright's reports were so wonderful. You are indeed the rising stars of Columbia's scientific community!"

The Pelo tribe members nearby also followed their companions’ voices and said:

"Our company is in great need of young talents like you. I wonder if you and Ms. Wright are interested..."

In response to the two people's enthusiastic invitation, Saria also found the identities of the two people in front of her from her memory.

Owning a company that looks like a technology company on the surface, but is actually more like a financial company that uses technology concepts to deceive investors.

However, Saria knew these two people not because of these things, but because Saria remembered that she had beaten the children of these two families into the school hospital more than once.

Thinking of these things, Saria nodded slightly and said to the two of them politely:

"Thank you for your kindness. We have no such plans for the time being."

"Sorry, excuse me now."

121: The most important memories of Jinmao and Kailong

After rejecting the invitation, Saria turned around and left without hesitation, as if every second staying with these two people was a waste of life.

After taking a few steps, Saria heard a malicious whisper behind her.

“You really don’t know how to appreciate it.”

"Whatever. If I get involved with the Wright family, I might get into trouble."

"Hahaha"

Hearing this, Saria subconsciously wanted to turn around and beat up these two guys who didn't know how good Vaifan's hearing was.

However, just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of tearing in her heart.

Because of the sudden tearing feeling, Saria staggered and almost fell.

"Ms. Saria, be careful!"

Fortunately, the waiter who had just taken the empty wine glass was quick to support her, so that Saria did not embarrass herself on the spot.

"Thank you." The tearing feeling in her heart disappeared quickly like flowing water, and Saria expressed her gratitude to the waiter who supported her and whose racial characteristics could not be identified at first glance.

"You're welcome, Ms. Saria. Would you like another drink?" The waiter, who did not have the respectful attitude of the other waiters, asked Saria while holding the tray.

"...Thank you." Saria was about to refuse but the words turned into thanks.

His body seemed to be completely out of control as he picked up another glass of champagne from the tray in the waiter's hand.

Saria was confused as to why she couldn't refuse the other party. Then she heard the waiter say to her:

"Are you looking for Ms. Wright? I just saw her go to the terrace alone."

After hearing the waiter's words, Saria immediately put aside her doubts and walked towards the terrace of the cocktail party with champagne.

Just as Saria arrived at the door, she saw Christen leaning against the terrace railing and looking up at the starry sky.

Saria looked back in surprise, but found that she could no longer find the waiter at the party.

"It seems that you can't stand the rotten smell of money in there either." Kristen turned around and asked when she noticed her best friend walking out of the cocktail party.

Saria always felt that Christen's appearance seemed to have changed, but at the same time seemed to have not changed. She nodded and acknowledged what the other party said.

Seeing Saria nod, Kristen turned her gaze to the starry sky again, and then said with emotion:

“This is the current state of science in Colombia.”

“No one is focusing on the science.”

"What they pursue is money and fame, and they are obsessed with forming cliques and private interests, fighting overtly and covertly."

"Those kind uncles and aunts maliciously slandered my parents after they passed away, and now they are here smiling at me flatteringly."

“When I think of this, I feel cold all over.”

After listening to Kristen's words attentively, Saria kept her posture straight and said what she and Kristen said when they first met:

"If they dare to come near you again, I will make them cry out in disarray."

"Hahaha, I know!" Christen laughed out loud when she heard what Saria said, as if she wanted to vent all the malice that had been imposed on her over the past few decades.

Saria continued to wait beside Kristen, listening attentively to her laughter without any impatience.

After laughing for nearly a minute, Kristen finally stopped laughing and turned her head to Saria and said:

"Thank you, Saria, thank you...for always protecting me."

"You are my best friend. It would be too polite to say thank you." Saria said with a smile.

However, as soon as this smile appeared, that strange feeling of separation once again surged into Saria's heart.

"What's wrong, Saria? Are you feeling unwell?" Christen asked quickly.

"It's nothing, maybe I was too tired in the past few days." Saria took the champagne in her hand and took a sip, and immediately felt much better.

"You must have a good rest, Saria. I am still waiting for the day when you can still protect me when I go to a higher place."

Christen raised her head and stretched out her hands towards the sky, as if she wanted to pick the stars in the sky.

"Your parents spent their entire lives creating wings for you to fly into the sky. Their achievements cannot be erased by any insect."

Saria, who also looked at the starry sky with Christen, mentioned the other party's parents.

Christen's parents, the Wrights, have always been Saria's idols.

"That's right, so I'm going to keep going, I'm going to go higher, I'm going to prove to everyone that they are right."

Kristen said loudly, but her voice did not attract the attention of anyone at the party behind her.

"This is not something that can be accomplished by just the two of us." Compared to Kristen, Saria is much calmer.

"You're right, Saria! What we need is a team, a very large team, and we need the top talents in every applicable and theoretical discipline." Christen opened her arms towards Saria, as if she wanted to hug her, or as if she was giving an inspiring speech.

"Emmm..." Instead of laughing at Christen's intention to recruit all the top scientists, Saria seriously thought about the feasibility of this plan and the possible obstacles it might encounter.

Saria didn't think too long about the feasibility. She believed that with her and Kristen's abilities, they would naturally attract those top scientists to come.

Even the doctor who never replied to Christine's letters was no exception.

Compared to how to win over those top scientists, the biggest problem is this devastated land.

The shadow of natural disasters and the spread of mineralogy have made it impossible for many scientific research projects that would have been very valuable to continue.

As if aware of what Saria was thinking, Kristen clenched her fist and said loudly to Saria:

"Then we will eliminate the Scourge and Ore Disease together!"

"..." Even Saria was stunned by such an arrogant idea.

Knowing that this alone was not convincing, Kristen spoke again in a speech-like tone:

“Because this is consistent with our goal.”

"Exploring the mechanisms of natural disasters and ore diseases will inevitably involve in-depth research on Originium, and the power contained in Originium may become the key to all explorations."

“We can set up a company to do these things even without the PhD, as long as we can focus on these studies.”

“We will definitely achieve this goal!”

As she spoke, Christen seemed to think that this was a great idea, so she held Saria's hands and said:

"How about, Saria, you become my co-founder."

"Okay, okay." Feeling the tearing sensation again, Saria glanced at the champagne that Kristen had snatched away and put aside.

It seems that I am really too tired and I need alcohol to numb my nerves.

As Saria stared at the glass of champagne, Kristen seemed to remember something and said:

"But by then, I'm afraid there will be more people attacking us..."

"Then I will set up a department..." Saria said this subconsciously but suddenly stopped and did not say the second half of the sentence.

"Yes, you can set up a department that can not only do scientific research but also protect our company."

"And if it's you, you can defend the entire land."

Kristen, holding Saria's hands, said what the other person originally wanted to say.

"Let's call this department the Defense Department, and you will be the chief."

"Well, Saria." Kristen loosened her hands, turned around like a ballet dancer, and extended her hand to Saria in an inviting gesture.

"Please continue to protect me from now on!"

"Well..." Saria raised her hand, but did not shake the invitation extended by Christine, but picked up the champagne beside her.

"Sareya?" Christen was stunned for a moment, but soon recovered her expression, stopped inviting and asked:

"When did you notice it?"

"Not long, what about you?" Saria said with a sigh.

This scene is so beautiful, but it will never come back.

"She knew it from the beginning because it's your memory." Miku, dressed as a waiter, appeared next to Saria, picked up the wine bottle and filled the glass in Saria's hand again.

"...Is it fun to tease me?" Saria looked at the champagne in her hand, then looked at Miku who was dressed as a waiter and asked.

"This is your memory, and it is a very important memory for you." Miku poured himself a glass of wine and said to Saria: "If you don't value this memory, I can't recreate it."

"...Now I just find this memory ridiculous..." Saria shook her head.

"... emmm..." Hearing what Saria said, Miku raised his head and looked at the starry sky, then looked around.

Saria was confused as she didn't know why Miku made this move.

Retract your sight

Miku said to Saria:

"If you really think this memory is ridiculous, then this memory should have collapsed by now," Miku said to Saria.

"...Maybe I'm the funny one." Saria looked at the wine swaying gently in the glass in her hand and laughed at herself.

"Then do you think the current Christen is ridiculous compared to the past Christen?" Miku asked Saria.

"That depends on what she thinks. I have no right to judge her." Saria turned her gaze to Kristen and said.

"No... You have the right to judge her, at least in this memory." Miku shook his head and denied Saria's statement and explained:

"In this memory, if Kristen has changed from her past self, then she will not be able to join this memory."

"Even if you force yourself to join, it will only cause your memories to collapse prematurely."

"...Are you trying to say that Kristen has never changed? Even after doing so many things, she is still the same as before?" asked Saria, who understood what Miku meant.

"Yes, she has never changed. That's what surprised me." Miku nodded.

Kristen, who had been standing aside without interrupting, raised her head slightly, like a big golden retriever being praised.

For Kristen, playing her past self in other people's memories is a very novel experience.

"...What about you, sir? Why are you in my memory?" Saria did not continue to dwell on why Miku said that Christen had not changed at all, but asked Miku.

"Oh my, you actually question my ability." Miku laughed when he didn't expect that Saria would directly turn the topic to himself.

"…Is that so? Sorry, I was rude." Saria, who was just trying to change the subject, apologized to Miku.

"But..." Miku changed his tone and continued, "It is also because of my ability that I can confirm something very interesting..."

"?"

"?"

Facing the puzzled looks from both Kristen and Saria, Miku continued:

"That doctor, who was me in Terra, did attend the graduation reception, but of course, not as a waiter."

After hearing what Miku said, Kristen and Saria both turned their eyes to the cocktail party behind them.

But it was as if there was a layer of frosted glass between them. I could only see the silhouette of the person inside, but not who it was.
