Arknights, are you a good person?

The Great Elder must have his reasons for doing this.

"what?"

The Great Elder had not yet recovered from the shock of being blown away when he suddenly heard such a strange news. His back, which had been hunched over for years, almost straightened up, and several sections of his spine rubbed against each other, making a clicking sound.

“It’s simply a miracle…”

Before he could utter this sigh aloud, the great elder's back, which had shown some signs of straightening, immediately collapsed and became hunched over again. The monk soldiers who were watching immediately fell silent, feeling a little embarrassed.

"..."

The Great Elder fell into silence.

At this time, if he said that this matter had nothing to do with him, would no one believe it?

Thinking, silent...

The front carriage slowly opened, and the people from Kalan Trading came out coughing. The Great Elder immediately stopped thinking, holding his cane, and looked at Silver Gray majestically.

"Young Chief Shivaash..." His voice was hoarse, like two rusty iron bars rubbing against each other.

"Great Elder, do you know what you have done?"

Silver Gray frowned:

"Although the Saint Lady received divine revelation and specifically asked him to come here, his role is definitely not to be sacrificed alive by you to appease the anger of the Holy Mountain. Qi Yuan had already talked to me about business funding from Yan Country when we were on the train before."

Great Elder: "..."

Silver Gray's rage was never something he took into consideration.

Therefore, we can only respond with silence.

"The Great Elder must have his reasons for doing this!" Fortunately, there were many believers around who were willing to explain to him. In just a few words, they helped the Great Elder come up with a reason, and it was convincing enough.

For some reason, the Great Elder did not refute.

This blame was just taken on them inexplicably, and it is firmly ingrained and cannot be reversed.

After all... the evidence is irrefutable!

"Chief Shivaash, what else have you and your trading company done except bring an air of ungodliness to the Snow Mountain?"

"What else do you want to do with the Holy Mountain?"

Although in name Kjerag is one of the three major families, SilverAsh's parents were killed in their early years while planning reforms. SilverAsh went to Victoria to study abroad and has only been back for less than ten years, so it was a very precarious time.

The innovation brought Originium electric wires, Originium stoves in every household, and railways leading to the outside world...

Manshuyuan could not see any of these things and even sneered at them.

They will affect faith and people's hearts will no longer be as pure as before.

"That's all I have to say, Great Elder. Since you have done this, when you have to bear the consequences, I hope you will not run away and be as brave as you were today."

SilverGray gently stretched out his arm, and the eagle beast slowly descended and grabbed the shoulder pads in SilverGray's cloak.

When the train exploded just now, his beastly relative was frightened and flew away. After it recovered, it flapped its wings and flew back. The timing was just right, adding some majesty to the Silver-Gray who made the announcement.

"Yeragond is here."

The great elder also said: "What happens in Manshu Monastery has nothing to do with you."

That’s all I have to say. There is nothing more to say.

The crowd split into two. Silver Gray and his group walked towards the newly built factory of Kalan Trading. They were all alone, with only a few people chatting. In the direction they were heading was the large Kalan Trading factory that was spewing smoke.

The Great Elder and his entourage were large in number, and they marched towards a lonely snowy mountain.

Manshu Monastery didn't even have any electricity from source stone. They had to rely on burning charcoal for heating and candles for lighting at night. Every night was pitch black, austere and lonely.

Silver Gray walked on the road without any change in his expression, but his two companions saw something was wrong and asked directly:

"Do you know something?"

Silver Gray stood still, smiled slightly, and nodded: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you. I have reached an agreement with the one who was blown away just now."

"Can you trust me?"

"Just like the funding from the Duke of Caster, it is impossible to refuse, but tempting enough." Silver Gray spread his hands, and the eagle on his shoulder took off suddenly, helping Silver Gray to hold up the fallen crutch.

"?"

"The Great Elder probably won't live long." Silver Gray said with his head down, not wanting to stop until his words were shocking.

"What do you mean?" Lingzhi gently lifted up his glasses.

"Literally, when I was studying in Victoria, I taught myself many foreign languages, including Yan Guo, but there were no special reference books, so my learning process was to constantly read Yan Guo's children's books to enrich my vocabulary."

"Which naturally includes... a little historical story."

Speaking of this, even a calm and composed man like Silver Gray couldn't hold back the chill in his heart:

"Do you know what martial virtue is?"

575: Panic-stricken Ya

Mace shook his head slightly.

This is an unfamiliar Yan country word. It is difficult to find a corresponding word in either Victorian or Gaulish. "War literacy" cannot summarize it either.

Yinhui tried to explain, but it was impossible to talk about this with someone who had not learned Yanguo language.

"Anyway, just be careful. The modern Yan Nation has lost interest in expansion, but many things can still be learned from historical allusions and stories, such as the largest population in all of Terra."

"Okay, let's wait for the opportunity."

Jian nodded: "I have roughly seen their strength. This small explosion cannot hurt them at all."

Lingzhi also nodded and said, "What kind of mental preparation should I make?"

"Write down the most severe situation you can imagine in Kjerag on paper, and then multiply it four or five times, and that will be the current situation. I am not sure what kind of fire this Yan countryman, whom I met for the first time, will ignite in Kjerag."

"Could it be that a large army from Yan Country has quietly surrounded the entire Kjerag?"

Mace conjured up a desperate situation.

“That’s impossible.

Silver Gray shook his head. "Any country around here could send troops to invade Kjerag, except Yan Nation. They are far to the east, and the army would have to pass through many countries, which would be too troublesome in terms of diplomacy."

"Oh."

As we were talking, we arrived at the factory.

Although smoke was still coming out of the chimneys, due to the religious pressure from Manshu Monastery and the great elder's authority that was at its peak through explaining miracles, most of the production lines had been closed and only minimal production was maintained.

All Terran countries are developing rapidly, their products are changing with each passing day, and high-speed battleships are getting bigger day by day. In contrast, Kjerag has missed the window of development due to some old stubbornness.

"I remembered something from the past."

Silver Gray suddenly said, "You were still in school at that time, right? The midterm exam had just ended, and we suddenly heard that Londinium was holding a military exhibition, so we went there with great enthusiasm. Other local Victoria students were able to enter without any obstacles, but we were blocked everywhere because we were foreigners, and were stopped outside the red line by the guards."

"I remember that you were standing on tiptoe and trying hard to look inside, just wanting to take a look at the high-speed battleship." Lingzhi nodded.

"Sometimes I think you're too polite."

Jian shook his head and said, "If it were me, I would go and assassinate that Lao Deng directly. I would kill every one who came to power and wipe out the Manshu Monastery that has never produced a single paper. Sorry, your sister..."

"It doesn't matter."

Yinhui shook his head slightly, signaling Jian not to worry about it.

Suddenly, he thought of the poem that Qi Yuan had recited when they first met.

Time comes and the world has the same force, and it is not free to transport heroes.

"There is an old saying in Yan Country, 'take advantage of the wind and soar into the sky. Qi Yuan, I hope your wind is strong enough to blow all this up to the sky."

That way no one can hold him back.

-----------------------------------------

"I'm so touched..." Yelagund rubbed his eyes.

Deep in the snow-capped mountains, snow and wind are blowing.

The silver light flickered slightly, and four figures suddenly appeared on the originally empty snowfield. They were Qi Yuan and the others who were still in the carriage when the train exploded.

"Ah!"

Xi suddenly sneezed violently and hid in the painting without saying a word.

There are three of the four figures left.

As soon as Yelagund arrived at the snowy mountains, he used his perception that spread across the entire territory of Kjerag to broadcast the scene after the train bombing live to Qi Yuan and Zhongyue.

Needless to say, some people in the Great Elder's lineage are still repeating what they heard when they were born until they die.

She focused her reporting on the Silver Gray side.

"I didn't expect my child would still be bullied like this after going abroad. If this doesn't work, then..."

Yelagund continued speaking, and originally wanted to say that it would be better for them to stay in Kjerag under her protection, but when she thought of the foreign intelligence these people brought, she tactfully shut her mouth.

"Sorry, that slipped my mind."

She clasped her hands together apologetically, looked at Qi Yuan and asked, "What should we do next?"

"The next step requires Xi's cooperation. I'll knock on her door later and ask her to work overtime to draw some things." Qi Yuan stated the plan and turned around to take a look at the surrounding environment.

Cold and lonely.

In the distance, there were many frozen bodies of young girls, wearing gray and white saintly clothes. They were exactly as Yelagund had described, with rosy faces and smiles on their faces. Some were kneeling and some were standing.

"Are you teleporting us directly to yourself?"

Qi Yuan turned his gaze away from the corpse and said, "It's really scary to see these things when I wake up."

"Right!"

Yelagund kept nodding.

Taking his eyes off the stiff corpse, Qi Yuan suddenly discovered that another mountain was very close to them, not far away. The boundary between the Snow Mountain and the Bald Mountain was extremely clear.

Calling it a bald mountain is no longer quite accurate.

In the past, Ya resisted everything, so the mountain appeared bare, but now her desire to survive has increased so much that the gushing peach petals have covered the entire mountain.

It is already a peach mountain.

The tall lady holding a knife stood beside the peach forest, her body covered by extremely thin redwoods, her face was like a peach blossom, and she spat out brilliant blood from time to time.

"Hello." Qi Yuan nodded, "I'll give you a chance, do you want to be an extra?"

"Don't come over here!"

Ya's face, which was as rosy as a peach, turned pale as gold paper in an instant, and his indifferent pupils were filled with fear and shock.

"I just kept repeating Qi Yuan's name from afar. I kept all my hatred and sadness in my heart. Yelagund, why did you mobilize your connections to call Qi Yuan over here?!"

Jha hated Yelagund.

"To cure you," Yelagund said timidly, "the age you cut out is already ..."

"Shut up!"

Ya suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Although he was seriously injured, he displayed the enormous pressure of an old beast at this moment. The entire Peach Mountain was shaking and trembling in a bluffing manner.

"I gave you the chance but you couldn't make use of it." Qi Yuan shook his head.

"Wait a moment."

Zhong Yue frowned, walked forward and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Spring and Autumn that you cut out? Is it related to the last time we entered?"

"You can save yourself the trouble of playing the good cop and the bad cop at the same time."

Ya didn't appreciate it at all and sneered.

"I still remember the punch I received at Yumen last time. I know the secret of your move. Don't try to use it to influence me..."

"I lied to you at that time." Qi Yuan scratched his head lightly.

"Don't try to trick me."

The scam was so successful at the time that it was too late to change it now. No matter what was said, Ya refused to cooperate and even closed his eyes.
