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

"The permit to enter Tulikam also includes instructions that you can only eat in designated areas at designated locations and rest in designated areas."

Arturo explained, paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Originally, the Earth Spirit was planning to conceal his identity as a person with mineralogy, but unfortunately this post station was just established not long ago, so there aren't many people here."

The fact that there were not many people around meant that the staff here could conduct a more careful and thorough examination. In addition, the mineral lesion on the Earth Spirit's body was on the wrist, so the mineral disease was easily detected.

"Isn't the earth spirit the messenger of natural disaster?" Miku asked curiously.

According to what the Earth Spirit and Christen said before, although people infected with Ore Disease are discriminated against everywhere in this land, the Messenger of Scourge is not among them.

Or to put it another way, many people still discriminate against those infected with the Ore Disease who are messengers of the Scourge, but they will never hinder them because of this discrimination.

No one can afford to delay natural disaster warnings.

"Because this is Kjerag, my master. This place is protected by the god Yelagund and is free from natural disasters."

"The god Yelagund?"

After hearing Arturo’s explanation, Miku raised his head and looked at the snow-capped mountains “not far away”… Although it was called “not far away”, there was still some distance.

Then Miku saw a peak in the snow-capped mountains that looked like a cone piercing straight into the sky.

This shape, the natural wonder Matterhorn?

Could this snowy mountain actually be the Alps? ... Well, it doesn't seem strange, after all, Gaul, Victoria, and Casimir are nearby.

As for Colombia, if there were no New World, there would be no problem placing Colombia in the west.

When Miku was looking at the peak that looked like the Matterhorn, wondering if this mountain range was actually the Alps.

On a nearby mountain called Kalan, which is slightly shorter than the Matterhorn, sits a courtyard of the Manju Monastery, the religious center of Kjerag.

The head maid who was cleaning the room with a whisk looked up in the direction of Tulikam, a small border town in Kjerag, in a puzzled manner.

"What happened, Yaer?" Saint Enshia of Shelag, who was sitting nearby studying "Yeragund", noticed the head maid's actions and asked immediately.

"Nothing, just a passing thought. Perhaps Yelagund is reminding me to take good care of you."

Yaer withdrew her gaze and gave Enxia a maternal smile, then continued to clean the room.

"..." Enxia, ​​who had just become a saint not long ago and was not yet accustomed to this identity, quickly lowered her head and focused her attention back on the "Yeragund" in her hand.

46: The topic that can never be avoided on Terra

Perhaps it was because of Yelagund's protection that he was spared from the Originium disaster.

Although the Kjerag people also look at the infected with a different perspective, it is much better than other countries in this land... The Kjerag people's eyes are mostly curious, rather than the vigilance or even discrimination of other countries.

These are the original words of the Earth Spirit. When she learned that Miku asked about her whereabouts immediately, the Earth Spirit was very moved... Although Miku was just worried that the Earth Spirit was secretly sold by Arturo or

Or cook a whole lamb feast or something like that.

Unfortunately, this improvement is relative, and it does not change the regulations that infected people like Di Ling need to eat in designated areas, rest in designated areas, and report to designated departments at designated times.

But at least they didn't drive out the infected like the Earth Spirits like other countries, or throw them into the mines.

"It's quite strange."

Miku once again felt the different perspectives that countries in this world had on the group of infected people.

The last time was when I was hiding far away in Diling and eating compressed biscuits.

"Why is it strange?" Kristen asked Miku.

"Don't you think it's weird? Normally, as long as the ruler of a country has no problem with his brain, he should establish a reasonable moral value. Unless he regards discrimination against infected people as a moral role model, it's like brainwashing... But this is too weird."

Miku muttered something that the other three people could understand some of and some did not.

"Or have the internal conflicts of all the countries on Terra become so acute that they have no choice but to use the infected as chickens?"

Miku asked Kristen and Arturo.

As for the Earth Spirit, although Miku also glanced at him, he estimated that this question was beyond the scope of this geological exploration scholar.

Normally, it should be Arturo who answers Miku's question.

As an evil angel who wanders around this land and can see through people's hearts, Arturo knows more things than Christen, who has been staying at the Rhine Life headquarters.

Arturo did not answer Miku's question.

Although she does have a say in these matters, and has even played the role of a true angel in these matters, such as persuading a well-intentioned chief justice to issue a decree that treats all infected people equally and any discrimination against infected people will be considered a crime.

Arturo gave the right to answer this question to Kristen, and then focused on another special point:

"Chicken? Why do you say chicken?"

Terra is a feathered beast called "chicken", but this name mainly comes from a branch of the Liberi tribe.

"It's the chicken that is killed to scare the monkeys." Miku replied to his angel maid.

"What's a monkey? Some kind of animal?" Arturo's focus became increasingly strange.

"……" Miku did not answer the evil angel maid this time and looked back at BT.

"beep"

(No monkey, record completed) bt responded immediately.

Christen, who was suspicious about what Miku and Arturo were struggling with, answered the previous question:

"Not all countries treat the infected so badly. Only Ursus imposes domestic conflicts on the infected."

Other countries, such as Victoria and Colombia, are thinking of sending infected people into factories. It's cheap and easy to use, and there are no legal protections for employees.

Casimir chose to let the infected people participate in competitive games under the constraints of numerous rules, and use their identity as infected people as a gimmick to make more money.

As for how other countries treat the infected, for example, how the infected in Sargon will be treated, Christen is not quite sure.

Because it is quite far away, it is considered as a foreign country.

In fact, Ursus is quite far away. Apart from a few business trips, Christen doesn't know much about Ursus.

The reason why Christen was able to understand Ursus' attitude towards the infected so well was mainly because a few years later, an Ursus infected organization would cause a lot of trouble.

Since then, many people have known that Ursus really does not treat the infected as human beings.

At the same time, many sociologists have also used the question of why Ursus does not treat infected people as human beings as a research topic to write papers.

The conclusion reached in the end was also consistent, that is, the reason why Ursus did not take the infected seriously was of course mainly to divert the contradictions and conflicts caused by the alternation of power between the old and new nobles in the country.

Lankawu also made several films based on this theme, but later gave up after being warned by the Ursian diplomatic department.

It was thanks to these movies that Kristen was able to answer Miku's questions.

"Well, Ursus, that's not surprising." Miku nodded after listening to Kristen's explanation.

As we all know, the Russians are the cruelest to their own animals...they are the same no matter which world they are in.

"I'll stay in the car and watch over it."

Seeing that Miku was so concerned about the treatment of the infected, the earth spirit once again wondered in his heart where Miku came from.

Although Di Ling had prepared for the best and worst when her identity as an infected person was discovered, it did not mean that she could accept this arrangement calmly.

Since Di Ling became the messenger of natural disasters, he has never experienced such treatment as eating and resting at designated places, and reporting to designated departments at designated times.

So just turn a blind eye.

"No need to look at the car."

Miku didn't think that the re-delivery truck would be stolen, but judging from some of the little movements of the earth spirit, Miku guessed what the little goat was thinking and continued:

"If you insist, we might as well not go in. We can just take a break and then get going."

"???" The earth spirit was stunned for a while, not expecting Miku to respond like this.

Change to smart brain

For those who work in other special positions, if you encounter a boss who shares the good and bad times with you, you should prepare a suicide note.

"Anyway, your restrictions are only for the nearby city, right?" Miku, who didn't think there was anything strange about his behavior, asked the Earth Spirit.

"Yes, it's just the limitation of Tulikam." The earth spirit said immediately.

The procedures she and Arturo went through before were to go into the city near this post station...or rather, the town of Turicum.

All restrictions only apply within Tulikam. There are no such restrictions in the empty parking lot and the service area next to it.

After all, the post station itself is a place for passengers to stop and rest for a short time, so it is no wonder that a hero is not judged by his origin.

Kristen and Arturo did not object to Miku's decision.

Because Miku's original plan was to visit Tulikam, and there was nothing particularly attractive about the border town of Kjerag.

This can be clearly seen from the empty shelves in the station shopping area.

In addition to controlling the local Kalan trade, logistics vehicles for transportation basically do not stop at this post station.

Arturo was a little surprised why Miku was so "rules-abiding".

In Arturo's opinion, it is inconceivable that someone like Miku would abide by such rules that are obviously disadvantageous to him.

In response to Arturo's doubts, Miku just smacked the angel maid's head hard, messing up her hair that could have been used to advertise Rejoice, and then said:

"I really respect the local culture and customs."

"???" Arturo, who dared not resist, remained confused.

After a meal and a nap, Miku and his group were about to set off again.

A dozen vehicles with the Kalan Trade logo poured into the empty parking lot and stopped in front of the truck that was about to start.

Faced with this scene, Kristen took out the gauntlets and put them on, the earth spirit raised the staff, and Arturo also pulled the bow to set up a magic circle.

It is not uncommon for caravans to turn into bandits and robbers in the wilderness of Terra.

Especially since this area is the other party’s territory.

Miku lifted the thin blanket for his nap indifferently, took a look at the scene in front of him, and kicked the passenger's control panel with his foot.

After a slight shake, most of the Kalan trading vehicles that had been surrounding the transport truck retreated a long distance as if they were frightened.

Only one car did not move, but it also stopped and turned off the engine. A Liberian man wearing a Victorian gentleman's suit got out of the car.

The Liberian who walked to the front of the car alone took off the white knight's hat on his head and put it on his chest, then bowed slightly to the cockpit of the truck.

Seeing this scene, Miku kicked the control panel in front of him again.

In conjunction with Miku's action, the others clearly noticed that the Liberi man who made the friendly gesture was relieved.

Arturo turned his eyes away from the bunch of unlock prompts on the cockpit control panel and looked at Miku along with the others.

...So this is what it means to not care?

"Why are you still standing there? Isn't it nice to have someone to entertain you?"

Miku stood up and put on his shoes and said with an expression as if to say, "Why are you making such a fuss?"

47: Kalan Trade

Compared to a few years later when a big firework was set off in front of all the Terrans.

Although Rhine Life at this time is considered a holy place in the academic world, it is not yet a giant multinational conglomerate in the business world.

It can only be regarded as a large regional enterprise.

Outside of Columbia and a small area around it, people can only look at the Rhine Life logo and say this when seeing a doctor, taking medicine, or buying some advanced equipment:

"Oh, it's from Rhine Life, a big brand, no wonder it's so expensive."

Of course, this "can only" is also relative.

Perhaps Rhine Life's current reputation is not as good as the newly established Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals... After all, in the eyes of other major forces, Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals is essentially the Kazdel government-in-exile in the guise of a pharmaceutical company.

But it is much more famous than the little-known trading company Kalan Trading.

Even though the company behind Kalan Trading is the Shivaash family, one of the ruling families of Kjerag, it is a semi-official import and export company with official endorsement.

But because Kjerag itself is a small, closed country, its annual import and export trade volume is less than the GDP of a plot of land in most mobile cities.

When a salesperson from Kalan Trading hands out a business card to someone, the other person has to hesitate for a while before they can remember who the other person is.

So it wasn't long after the heavy-duty truck with the Rhine Life logo that Miku and his party were riding in rushed into the post station next to Turikam.

This news was delivered to the desk of Nosis Edwards, CTO of Kalan Trading.

Generally speaking, as the CTO, or chief technology officer, Nosis is not responsible for the external communications of Kalan Trade.
