"I'm fine, don't worry. At least for now we don't need to live in the wilderness anymore, right?"

Luo Ya tried his best to calm Xiaomaomao, but he had only one thought in his mind: no matter what, even if it meant sacrificing his life, he would not let that happen again.

Chapter 26: A Trick of Fate

For safety reasons, Abrana, Roya and others did not recuperate in Oak Forest County, but moved to a nearby base disguised as a small village. They were very suspicious of Abrana's sudden hiring of such a person of unknown origin as a secretary. Even though Roya showed a strange power that was not from Originium skills, the difference in strength between him and Abrana was too great, and he himself did not look like someone who could be in this position.

But when he saw with his own eyes that Luo Ya handled all the official business at an extremely fast speed, he gradually chose to keep his mouth shut and just checked Luo Ya's official business from time to time to see if there were any mistakes or omissions. It was also during this period of time when Luo Ya started working that he found that he might have made the most wrong decision in history.

"You really don't do any work at all, my sister!"

Roya threw all the reports in his hand in front of Abrana who was drinking coffee, and knocked on the table angrily.

"I've been here for four days, and I've been handling all the paperwork during these four days, and you didn't even glance at it. Please at least sign your name. It's hard to imitate your handwriting, sister!"

Abrana remained calm and composed. She put down the coffee in her hand and picked up the pile of documents to glance through them.

"Well, you did a great job. I thought you would need a long period of adjustment in this area."

"You didn't take it seriously at all! Look!"

Roya almost uttered the last few words with gritted teeth. The officer guarding the door wanted to scold Roya and ask him to be polite to Aburana, but then he thought that Roya's status was higher than his own, and this was not the first time Roya expressed dissatisfaction with Aburana.

"I have full confidence in your ability."

"Why do I feel like you just want to find someone so you can have some free time?"

"Then you guessed it right."

There was no trace of her former arrogance and aura. Abrana now acted like an unscrupulous boss. The officers rarely saw her behave like this when interacting with people other than Ravshini.

Although he was unhappy, Luo Ya sighed helplessly and continued to work. In fact, even he himself did not expect that so many documents to be processed were not too troublesome for him. It was as if he had dealt with these a lot before. What did he do during the time when he lost his memory?

"Your Highness Abrana, this is a letter from that person."

For the sake of confidentiality, even though Roya, now serving as Abrana's secretary, knew that she was of red dragon bloodline and the descendant of Draco, some things were better not to be told to him.

"I see, let's go."

Abrana took the letter and looked at the iron-colored wax seal on it with a subtle look in her eyes. Luo Ya glanced at it lightly, then lowered his head and continued to work on his own things at the desk.

"Are you curious about the origin of this letter?"

"No, no, no, I'm not curious at all, please don't tell me."

Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. However, in these four days, Roya has learned enough, such as that Abrana is a descendant of the Red Dragon, intends to establish a new dynasty and has secretly developed a force called "Deep Pool", or that she has reached a cooperation with a certain Grand Duke, and it can even be said that the other party is willing to swear allegiance to her.

Luo Ya didn't want to guess how much truth and how much falsehood there was behind this so-called loyalty. It was very brain-burning. Normally, it was tiring enough just to appease Xiao Ke and deal with these things.

"You are my counselor, wouldn't you know if I didn't tell you?"

Abbrana's smile was as confident as ever, but if possible, Roya just wanted to punch her in the face twice. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it. And he did know who wrote the letter, so his work these days was not in vain.

"I have no interest in knowing what agreement you have reached with the Iron Duke, but our cooperation is limited to five months, after which I will leave."

At least Xiao Ke must be taken away to Minos to find out her past, while Rosemary will be left behind. She still needs to be taken care of by Ravshini. Thanks to the girl's fire, Rosemary's body has improved a lot, but her mental state is still a little weak. Her abilities are very unstable, and Abrana's fire happened to burn her spiritual body.

"Don't worry, I am a man who keeps his promises. If you still choose to leave after five months, I will not stop you, nor will I let that girl be treated badly."

This is also Abrana's confidence. In five months, she is confident that she can make Luoya stay in the deep pool willingly. If not, then she will not make things difficult for Luoya, but it is hard to say whether others will make things difficult for him.

"Black Steel International has issued a wanted notice for you, and the reward is very high. It seems that the girl is very important to them."

"They arrested Noah, what does it have to do with me?"

From the time he introduced himself to Tolan at the beginning and his subsequent activities, Luo Ya did not appear too often in Songqiu Town, and the people there would not know much about him. Although Xiao Ke called him Luo Ya, this could be completely explained as a pronunciation error. It was common knowledge that Xiao Ke was a stupid dog, and Tolan was even less likely to reveal the information, otherwise he, the middleman, would be the first to be found and settled.

Seeing that Roya didn't seem to intend to pay attention to her, Abrana didn't say anything. She opened the letter and read the words on it carefully. While Roya was correcting the documents, he was thinking about whether the person who could cure Rosemary mentioned by Dean Eric had received the letter.

He didn't have much time left, but he was worried about leaving Rosemary in Shen Chi's care. Xiao Ke's problem also needed to be resolved. He could only stay here for five months at most. If the situation did not improve after five months, he would have no choice but to choose the worst solution, which meant he needed to improve Lavshini's favorability. That girl looked much kinder than her sister.

Just as Roya was wondering when the doctor who could treat Rosemary would arrive, in a camp in Kazdel on the other side, a white-haired Filin woman wearing a green coat looked at the two urgent letters in her hands, and for a moment she didn't know what they were about.

The first letter came from Black Steel International, which detailed how their transport team was attacked in Casimir, and how the survivors of Locke's water tank experiment were taken away by a mercenary named "Noah" and fled to Victoria. Their whereabouts are still unknown. They also stated that if the goods were not found within a week, they would be willing to compensate Babel Tower and Ms. Kal'tsit for their losses this time.

When Kal'tsit saw the letter, she raised her eyebrows and thought that this was bad. After the incident at the Rocky water tank, she knew that the girl's fate would not be good, so she took the initiative to write to her old friend in Columbia to express her ability to help them deal with this unstable factor. The Melander Foundation didn't care about the whereabouts of the girl named Narcissa, so they were naturally willing to hand her over to Kal'tsit.

But being robbed means that someone is still obsessed with the results of Locke's lifelong research, even if it was a failure.

Then the second letter arrived. It was from one of Kal'tsit's former students, Eric, who was now the director of a hospital in Victoria Oak County. He told Kal'tsit that he had met a Filin girl who was believed to have had an Originium implanted in her brain. She was very young and in urgent need of medical treatment.

"Is this also... a trick of fate?"

These two letters, which were sent only three minutes apart, made Kal'tsit realize for the first time what fate's joke was. She put the letter away and took a look at the date.

As the war intensified, the pressure on Babel Tower increased. Kal'tsit was not sure whether she should leave at this point in time. It would be disastrous if something unexpected happened at this point in time.

"This is……"

Kal'tsit suddenly noticed that there was another paragraph on the back of the letter from Black Steel International. It was the information about the mercenary Noah, especially the one about his abilities, after inquiring about the news from Songqiu Town.

When she saw that text, Kal'tsit couldn't help but show obvious surprise on her usually cold face.

"Prepare a car and supplies for me. I'm going to Victoria. I don't need to report to the Doctor and Theresa and the others."

Chapter 27 It Shouldn't Be Just This

"Well, it's five o'clock, get off work."

Under Abrana's gaze, Roya cleaned up the table in front of her boss as if nothing had happened, then picked up the black bow and swaggered out of the room.

Sometimes Abrana felt that Roya was deliberately expressing his dissatisfaction in this way, but later she confirmed that this guy's work attitude was like this. He never worked overtime, but he would not be lazy at work either. He was the typical employee who was not very active but definitely an excellent employee.

Although she did not carefully read any of the documents that Luo Ya corrected, she had carefully checked the effects of these documents.

Financial management, personnel turnover, filing of reports, and analysis of the content of intelligence networks, Roya's ability to handle documents can be said to be outstanding. Even if the strange prophecy of the Cyclops is put aside, Abrana feels that she has found an excellent secretary.

What satisfied her most was that even though Luo Ya had learned a lot of secrets about Shen Chi and a certain Grand Duke from daily documents, he still suppressed his curiosity, did not ask too many questions, did not think too much, did not say too much, just did his job, and had a full understanding of his status.

If Roya chooses to overstep his authority, then Abrana wouldn't mind punishing him a little to make him figure out who is the boss here.

"It's really troublesome. That woman must have deliberately pushed all the things onto me."

Luo Ya knew very well that the key parts of all the documents he corrected actually still needed to be reviewed by Abrana or the school officer before they could be released. This was the most basic thing.

So he tried his best not to know things he shouldn't know. Before the doctor who could cure Rosemary mentioned by Eric came, he needed to work for Abrana. Fortunately, the food and accommodation were provided and the salary was good.

"Mr. Roya?"

Hearing someone calling him, Luo Ya stopped and looked at Lafshini who was walking slowly behind him. At this time, she should be going to treat Rosemary.

"Rafushini, do you want to go find Rosemary?"

"Yes, bring her some snacks and candies by the way."

"That's great. That guy Abrana even confiscated my spicy bars and potato chips. Can you give me some of this candy?"

In this base, only Roya could call Abrana by her name. Even though she was her sister, Lavshini still had a bit of awe towards her. She really didn't understand why Roya dared to treat her sister so casually, and she didn't understand why Abrana would choose to be so tolerant of Roya.

Rafshini herself still had some good feelings towards Roya, especially after learning about Roya from Xiaoke. She felt that it was really amazing that Roya could give so much for these two girls whom she had only known for a month.

"Here, I hope you like it."

Grabbing a handful of candy and giving it to Roya, Ravshini looked again in the direction he came from.

"Don't worry, your sister is probably checking my work right now. There's no way she'll let me do whatever I want."

Ravshini felt a little embarrassed when her secret was exposed. She was indeed a little afraid of Abbrana as her sister.

"Let's go, my cat is waiting impatiently."

Luo Ya didn't like to pry into other people's affairs, so he just peeled a candy and put it in his mouth to make sure that the candy itself should be fine.

The village where everyone is now is one of the bases of Shenchi. According to Luo Ya's speculation, although Shenchi has established a connection with the famous Grand Duke of Victoria, the development time is not long, mostly because the card of the last descendant of the red dragon cannot be played openly.

When processing those documents, Luo Ya found that he would always unconsciously pay attention to and analyze the information that was briefly mentioned in the report, and then infer and reverse it. This was like a work habit.

And just as Roya said, Abrana was reviewing the documents he had marked and annotated, as well as the Deep Pool Development Report that Abrana had asked him to write two days ago.

“This really surprised me.”

The colonel looked a little puzzled. He admitted that Roya's ability exceeded his expectations, but as someone to whom the Iron Duke had sworn allegiance, if Abrana needed to form her own team, she could just pick a few from the Iron Duke's staff officers. They would be much more reliable than just randomly picking Roya.

"Don't you understand why I use him so much? Take a look at this."

Abrana handed the plan in her hand to the school officer, with an even bigger smile on her face. She was 100% or even 90% satisfied with Roya.

"This is……"

The instructor looked at the plan and his face gradually became solemn. Luo Ya first carefully explained the various problems that Shen Chi was currently facing, then wrote out solutions to these problems, made an in-depth analysis of Shen Chi's current situation, pointed out its own advantages and disadvantages in comparison with its peers, and gave several major development directions. He believed that the most important thing for Shen Chi at present was to gain an advantage in intelligence information.

In terms of the general direction, Roya first rejected the idea of ​​going to war directly. Victoria is now leaderless, and the grand dukes of various families are waiting for problems in other families so that they can take the opportunity to attack. They will not be easily instigated. Moreover, the civil war has caused serious internal consumption in Victoria. Even if it wins the war, Abrana will have to face a mess and neighboring countries with bad intentions.

As for the remaining two options, one is to take the path of integration. Victoria has been without a king for 20 years. Ordinary people will find that their lives have not improved with the death of the king, but have a tendency to gradually deteriorate. There is absolutely no problem for Abrana to take the people-friendly route. After all, Victoria without the Victorians is just a wilderness.

The last plan coincides with what Abrana thought, but Roya said at the beginning that this route is worse than a civil war, that is, using Abrana's identity as a red dragon as a claim to stir up the emotions of the Tara people to gain support, but this needs to be developed secretly. As for why Roya is not optimistic about this route, Abrana plans to ask him tomorrow.

"It's interesting, isn't it? In this report, he deliberately wrote about current events in detail, but wrote about future plans in a sloppy manner."

But what Luo Ya wrote was indeed correct. Victoria is now in an awkward situation. If no one takes the initiative to break this awkward situation, Victoria will only decline in this subtle struggle and internal friction.

"But it's not enough." Abrana tapped the table lightly, "His abilities... shouldn't be limited to these."

Chapter 28 A Story of Two People

"I'm sorry, that's all I can do."

Releasing her hand and taking back the weak flame, Ravshini looked at Rosemary. Although her face had become much rosier, her mental state was still a little sluggish, as if she had not gotten enough sleep.

In Rosemary's case, Ravshini's Originium technique can only play a suppressive role. Whether it can be cured depends on whether the doctor Eric invited can help. The kitten's condition is obviously not simply due to excessive use of strength, but more like... gradually weakening to a certain extent.

Luo Ya even thought about whether his ability could work on her as well, but considering the uncontrollable consequences, he chose not to do so.

"Thank you, that's enough. Stay for dinner today. I'm a pretty good cook. I learned from a great chef."

"I……"

Ravshini wanted to refuse, but Rosemary gently grabbed her hand. Xiaomaomao was still very grateful to Ravshini, and Xiaoke didn't hate her either.

"I'll tell Abrana about this. You're welcome. By the way, please supervise Xiao Ke while he's doing his homework."

Luoya took out his phone, waved his hand and walked towards the kitchen, leaving Xiaoke and the other two in the room. Rosemary's ears drooped a little, as she had wanted to eat the cake brought by Lafshini with Luoya.

"It seems that Roya is very tired." Rosemary looked at her hands.

It was not simply the tiredness caused by being too busy, but another kind of sleepiness and anxiety that she could not describe. She didn't know why Luo Ya was so sleepy, and she felt distressed subconsciously.

"Xiao Ke is also very tired. Why do I still have to do these math problems?"

Lying on the table, Xiao Ke felt sleepy as long as she kept her eyes on these strange numbers. She thought Luo Ya had forgotten today's math homework.

"Xiao Ke doesn't like studying?"

After spending the past few days together, Lafshini felt that Xiaoke was a simple and natural girl, and very cute. To be honest, many people in this base liked her, except for the cook who was in charge of cooking, because Xiaoke always liked to sneak into the kitchen. She probably didn't even know that was the place for cooking, she only knew that there were a lot of delicious food.

"She's just simply stupid." Rosemary ruthlessly revealed the truth, but she felt that it was truly magical that a person could be as stupid as Xiaoke.

"Xiao Ke is not stupid! Luo Ya said that Xiao Ke is just a silly dog, not stupid!"

Seeing Xiao Ke refutate Rosemary's words righteously, Lavshini couldn't help laughing for a moment. It was not difficult to imagine how Luo Ya usually got along with them.

"Okay, okay, come here, I'll teach you how to do it."

"Well...but Xiao Ke doesn't want to do this."

"But if Xiao Ke finishes all these questions honestly, no matter whether they are right or wrong, Luo Ya will definitely be very happy. Doesn't Xiao Ke want to make Luo Ya happy?"

As soon as Luo Ya was mentioned, Xiao Ke immediately calmed down. He thought for two minutes with his ears shaking, and finally nodded and agreed with gritted teeth.

Lavshini walked to Xiaoke with a smile, and was about to see what kind of difficult problem Luoya had prepared for her. It would be embarrassing if she couldn't solve it either.
