After a moment's pause, Kristen hesitantly walked into the swimming pool, then stepped on the water like Miku.
"This is..." Feeling the unprecedented touch coming from the soles of her feet, Kristen walked on the water, leaving a few ripples, and held Miku's hand.
When Miku and Kristen stood together hand in hand, the young man, with half of his body still in the pool, dived into the water with a mischievous smile.
A few seconds later, accompanied by a surge of waves, a dragon beast with white scales and red beard rushed out of the pool, circled around Miku and Kristen several times, and then rushed into the sky.
Following the dragon beast's gaze towards the sky, Christen discovered that she had returned to the starry sky without knowing when.
The two bright moons are so close that they seem within reach.
"Nian is the Nian beast, and this is her power." Miku explained to the somewhat confused Christen, "Of course, it's okay for you to think of this place as an illusion."
After hearing Miku's explanation, Christen subconsciously looked back and saw the mansion that seemed to be drifting in the starry sky, and Saria standing at the kitchen door with a confused look on her face.
Saria had no idea why the surroundings had changed so drastically just after she took two steps away. Three neat lines of "What happened?" were written on her face.
Arturo, still dressed in a Victoria's Secret swimsuit, looked at the music score in front of him, picked up the bow helplessly, and placed it on his cello-like performing unit.
As Arturo played, Miku said to Christen:
"Would you like me to dance with you, Ms. Kristen?"
"...Of course." After a pause, Kristen gave Miku perhaps the sweetest smile of her life.
When Christen, who accepted the invitation, was pulled into Mikula's arms, a loud dragon roar was heard, which was not out of place in Arturo's performance.
A giant dragon, whose size had increased millions of times, appeared at the feet of Miku and Kristen.
It seemed to be carrying the two people dancing, traveling through the cold and dark universe.
Looking at the two people dancing among the stars, Saria wondered if she should remind her best friend that her clothes had disappeared.
Fortunately, no matter how low Saria's emotional intelligence is, there is a limit.
Because of the physiological effects that had not yet been resolved, when Saria thought about what would happen next, she felt an indescribable emotion in her heart, not sure whether it was envy or jealousy.
Shaking her head to get rid of the emotion, Saria looked away and walked into the kitchen.
Looking through the kitchen window at the neon-lit night scene of Tremont, Saria felt that a simple hot dog didn't seem suitable for a midnight snack.
After all, it’s too fast… Should I start from kneading the dough?
Thinking of this, Saria tore open a bag of flour.
129: Yan Nation’s Response
"Morning, Director Saria."
"Good morning, Director Seria."
"Good morning, Director."
"Good morning, Director!"
With the same good morning greetings as usual, Saria inspected her "territory".
Each department of Rhine Life has its own unique style based on its different functions.
The territory belonging to Saria, namely the Rhine Life Defense Department, has the overall appearance of a military fortress and training center.
Even if the internal passages cannot be called a maze, they can be considered very complicated.
The only task for every new employee in the defense department within three months of joining the company is to find out
The overall structure of the Chu Defense Department Headquarters.
At least I have to make sure I get on the right route from the dormitory to my workplace and the cafeteria.
If you still can't learn it in three months, you will have to transfer internally. After all, if you take the wrong path in the defense department, the consequences will be extremely serious.
The Rhine Life Shelter Center, which Miku described as "interesting", is located inside the Defense Department.
These troubles are no problem for Saria.
Not that Saria knows every corner of her territory.
But Saria didn't mind that she took the wrong path.
Saria has taken the wrong path, and it won't be Saria who will be in danger.
However, today, Saria did not take the wrong road as usual to test the emergency response capabilities of the Defense Department.
Instead, he walked in a line towards his office.
When she met subordinates who greeted her on the road, Saria would at most nod slightly in response.
More often than not, he would just walk past his subordinates who greeted him without even looking away.
The defense department staff who greeted her didn't think there was anything wrong with Director Saria's attitude.
Or the most frightening thing would be if Director Saria stopped to ask about our well-being like Director Muir Seth did.
Saria walked all the way to her office and did not sit down. Instead, she turned on the surveillance screen and switched to the house arrest room.
Looking at the Yan Guo Si Sui Tai officials on the screen who were still wearing conical hats and veils after being separated and placed under house arrest.
Saria asked the defense officer who was in charge of guarding these Yan people:
"What's happened since last night?"
"No, Director Saria, other than being completely uncooperative." The defense staff member on the other side of the intercom gave a reply that sounded contradictory.
Saria was not surprised by this. After all, it was house arrest, even if he was well fed and well provided.
However, Saria did not do this according to Nian's request, but Saria did not want to make things too awkward with Yan Country because of this matter.
The scrutiny in this regard is similar to the fact that the officials of the Yan State Si Sui Tai, who were controlled by Ruan Jing, did not want the matter to become a big deal and reach the Ministry of Rites.
Saria also doesn't want this matter to develop into a diplomatic conflict between countries.
No matter how you look at it, that kind of outcome would do more harm than good to Rhine Life.
"Has the Yan Consulate in Tremon sent a letter?" Saria then asked her subordinates.
"No, Director Saria, we have not received any official or unofficial diplomatic documents, and these Yan people have not sent any information to the outside world."
Said the defense department staff member in charge of house arrest.
"Well, keep keeping an eye on them. Apart from living their own lives and establishing connections with the outside world, try your best to satisfy any requests they have." Saria said.
"Okay, Director Saria." The defense department staff member who knew what Saria meant agreed.
After giving the order, Saria turned off the surveillance, left the office, and went to the Defense Department Medical Center.
Ifrit has been placed in the medical center of the Defense Department. Saria decided to go and see how Ifrit, who was called Charmander by Miku, is doing.
Just as Saria shifted her attention away from the Yan Guo Si Sui Tai officials.
An official from the Si Sui Tai was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the house arrest room with his five hearts facing the sky, his fingers moving slightly as if he was regulating his breathing.
Under the eyes of the defense department staff, and under the surveillance of various Rhine Life high-tech equipment.
The officials of Si Sui Tai had a brief exchange with each other and passed on what happened to the Yan State's intelligence department in Trimont.
According to the Yan State, it was called Honglu Temple Posthouse.
In the Yan State Si Sui Taizhong, the officials responsible for supervising the Sui beast like Nian did not need to have strong fighting power... at least they did not need fighting power that could suppress the Sui beast.
Those who have the ability to suppress the fighting power of the Sui Beast can be regarded as the national treasure in Yan State, and they all occupy a more important position.
For example, in the Nine Sides fighting against the ice demons and deep-sea monsters.
It won’t be wasted on fragments of a beast like Nian.
The most important task of the officials of Simuitai is to report what happened to these god fragments to their superiors as soon as possible.
And it is the ability to convey information in various situations.
For example, training twins a special secret method allows the twins to establish contact with each other through this secret method within a certain distance.
Among the Simuitai officials who were under house arrest, there was one who practiced this secret method.
The other person who was in contact with him was stationed in the Honglu Temple Posthouse of the Yan State in Trimon.
When the other person who had been on standby at the inn received the message delivered by his brother in this way, he almost broke his back teeth.
What what what? One of the fragments of the Year Beast is suspected of defecting to Colombia?
Are you kidding me? How could this be possible?
As the Si Sui Tai that is closest to the Sui Beast fragments, the officials there are well aware that the relationship between Yan State and Sui Xiang is not just that of a winner and a loser.
Before Sui was shattered by the real dragon of Yan State, the establishment of Yan State was inextricably linked to Sui.
To put it bluntly, in the ancient times when giant beasts walked the land of Yan, if there were no years, there would be no today.
Yan country.
Is it because of Jie? If so, then the problem is serious.
Unfortunately, this secret method of communication cannot achieve real-time communication. It takes a long time to adjust the breathing before a few short sentences can be transmitted to the other party.
More importantly, the officials of Si Sui Tai who were under house arrest did not know why Nian took the initiative to leave with the county magistrate of Trimon.
After confirming that Rhine Life was involved in this matter, the Honglu Temple Posthouse immediately launched the highest level response.
Those officials in the capital city might just regard Tremont's Rhine Life and its controller, Christen, as a mere merchant, or at most a wealthy family.
However, the officials of the Honglu Temple stationed here are well aware that Kristen's importance in Columbia may be more than that of a county governor.
According to Tremon's size and the strength of Rhine Life, he is completely at the level of a provincial governor.
The fact that a governor of a newly emerging country intervened in the matter of the Sui Beast fragments was enough to attract the Yan State's great attention.
The Honglu Temple Post Station, which initiated the highest level response, passed the news all the way back to the capital of Dayan by relaying the baton.
It was only slightly slower than the long phone call between the Emperor of Penguin Logistics and President Brinlei of Thor Industries, which cost tens of thousands of Longmen coins per second.
But security and confidentiality are much better.
When the message reached the capital of Dayan and was decrypted as quickly as possible.
The officials of the Yan State, who had already gone home from get off work to their wives and children due to the time difference, became busy again.
Those ministers and officials who were rarely seen in normal times gathered in the Secretariat almost without even touching the ground, and also called out to the Holy Emperor who had already fallen asleep.
The Holy Emperor, who was originally a little grumpy after waking up, immediately broke out in a cold sweat after finding out what the news was.
Although each of the twelve fragments of the Year Beast has a different personality, they can be regarded as different individuals.
But the Yan State has never been so reassured.
Especially a few years ago, the second old beast who had been imprisoned in the capital, the one called mad by Nian, had just done something that could indeed be called crazy.
This made it even more difficult for the Yan State to avoid over-interpreting Nian's behavior.
The Emperor of Yan State, who had discussed with the Secretariat for a whole night without reaching any conclusion, received a letter from the border.
The writer of the letter was the Great Heavenly Master who guarded the border, and the person who delivered the letter was the Great Heavenly Master's disciple Bai Dingshan.
This letter was not delivered through any encrypted post station. It was directly delivered by Master Bai Tian, Yu Lei Qianli, all the way here personally.
The letter from the Great Heavenly Master quieted down the noisy Secretariat that had been going on all night. Everyone from the Prime Minister to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites were staring eagerly at the page of the letter in the hands of the Holy Emperor.
In the Yan Kingdom, the great Taoist priest who has been guarding the border for hundreds of years is the White Jade Pillar that supports the sky.
As long as the Grand Heavenly Master speaks, it will be more effective than the words of the Holy Emperor.
The content of the letter was not long, and the Holy Emperor took only half an incense stick of time to finish reading the letter in his hand.
Then he folded the letter and put it into his sleeve in front of the ministers.
"Let's all go." The Holy Emperor said with a relieved look.
"..." Your Majesty, how can we feel at ease with what you have done? At least let us see what the Grand Taoist Priest said.
Although they thought so in their hearts, since the emperor had spoken, these ministers and officials who came to work overtime late at night did not object and left one after another.
After a while, the prime ministers and ministers who had been arguing fiercely just now left the Secretariat and went home to catch up on their sleep.
After the others left, the Holy Emperor of Yan Country dismissed his attendants and asked the Heavenly Master Bai Dingshan, who had been standing aside to adjust his breathing after flying all the way, with the courtesy of a junior:
"Does the Great Heavenly Master have any other instructions for this matter?"
Hearing the words of the Holy Emperor, Bai Dingshan slowly opened his eagle eyes and asked in a thunderous voice:
"What did the master say?"
