Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

"Yes, I can just feel the temperature of different objects to judge the environment. Since I'm blind, I put extra effort into this aspect."

This was a very reasonable explanation, but Tallulah clearly remembered that Roya had said in the tavern that he had only recently gone blind. Considering the weapon behind him, this guy was definitely hiding something from her. Was he blinded by fighting the enemy?

Tallulah was thinking about Roya, and Roya was also observing Tallulah. To be honest, if both sides were serious, Tallulah might not be his opponent. Although it was not as good as the 10% of power released when fighting with the three-headed dog, it should be maintained at 5%. Combined with Draco's strength and Chixiao swordsmanship, Roya could almost defeat Tallulah, but he did not want to expose his strength to avoid unnecessary trouble.

(I had originally thought of resting in Ursus for a while before sneaking back to Victoria, but now that’s not going to work. However, the progress on Abrana’s side is smoother than I thought. The Noble Council and the military are actually willing to stand on her side?)

"Roya, what do you think of the infected?"

Talulah suddenly asked a puzzling question. An infected person is someone who is infected with Originium. As the core industrial energy source of Terra, people are always inevitably in contact with it. Long-term contact with Originium without protection will lead to Originium infection.

Because of the high risk of infection and wide range of transmission, as well as the fact that there has not been any case of treatment so far, people are basically full of fear of patients with oripathy. This fear has turned into prejudice and discrimination after years of changes. For example, 99% of the infected people in Lungmen are concentrated in slums and can only live there.

"As for the infected, there are many in the slums of Longmen, but as long as you are careful, you won't be infected. After all, the infected are pitiful. Who doesn't want to have a healthy body?"

This was not just a nice thing to say. Luo Ya was well aware of the dangers of oripathy, but as someone who refreshed his resurrection point upon death, he didn't need to worry about it at all. Moreover, Xiao Ke was also infected. His only dissatisfaction with that stupid dog was his IQ.

"What if I say I'm also infected?"

Talulah stopped and turned around, rolling up her sleeves to reveal the black crystals on her forearms, intending to see how Roya would react.

"Yes, that's it. What does it have to do with me?"

"Aren't you afraid of being infected by me?"

Roya's reaction was beyond Tallulah's expectations. She had thought of surprise, fear, and even disgust, but Roya's reaction was too calm.

"I'm not even afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of mineral sickness?" Luo Ya rolled his eyes. "Besides, I grew up in the slums of Longmen, and I've seen infected people before. Compared to those human traffickers and gangsters, I think the infected are much kinder."

This seemed to be the case. Seeing that this trick didn't seem to work, Tallulah simply changed the question.

"Have you met Wei Yanwu?"

"No, he is a big shot. How can a slum dweller like me be qualified to see him?"

Luo Ya shook his head quickly. He was not sure whether Tallulah could recognize the Scarlet Sky Sword Technique, so it was better not to use it. If he hadn't wanted to find out something, he would have chosen to run away just now.

As the former deputy director of the Imperial Guard, Wei Yanwu's black glove and confidant, Luo Ya also had some understanding of Talulah, who was Wei Yanwu's niece. Because in the second half of his tenure, the spies sent by Ursus to infiltrate Longmen were basically approaching Chen Huijie intentionally or unintentionally. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan and the subsequent handling, they even specially sent two internal guards to take action. Such a configuration made it difficult for Luo Ya not to think that the matter was caused by one person.

Koschei, the Duke of Ursus, had occupied Longmen more than 20 years ago, but was later expelled by Wei Yanwu, the Rat King and Tallulah's biological father Edward. He later discovered Edward's identity as Draco, used the Great Flame and Victoria Unicorn Secret Orders to force Edward to death, and used Longmen as a threat to take Tallulah away 17 years ago.

But the problem is that Kosciuszko should have been killed by Tallulah seven years ago. Who is secretly carrying out the plan against Longmen?

Luo Ya felt that maybe he could get the truth by following Tallulah. He was a vengeful person and could not let go of the previous score no matter what. He definitely did not want to go back to Longmen to dump his own grave and see what was inside.

"You haven't seen the Rat King either?"

"I've only heard of it, but I don't know who it is. I just know there's a stubborn guy who wants to put me in jail all the time."

Speaking of the Rat King, Luo Ya really couldn't understand why he and Lin Yuxia were father and daughter. The gap was really huge.

"What did you do to get you into jail?"

"Illegal sale of drugs, illegal stalls, theft, attempted robbery, fraud... Uh, sister, what's that look in your eyes?"

Seeing the hesitation in Tallulah's eyes about the "sacrifice of relatives for the sake of justice" action, Roya quickly took a small step back.

"I admit that what I did was not a good thing, but I am really not a bad person. If I could survive, I would never do these things even if I was beaten to death!"

What Luo Ya said was not made up; it was all things he had done in his previous life. Besides, such things were not uncommon in the Longmen slums.

Tallulah had seen the slums and could imagine what they were like, but she never expected that Roya was so well-rounded. He was truly someone who could be imprisoned but not jailed.

"Have you been doing this since you were a kid?"

"That's not the case. When I was a kid, I helped people do odd jobs, such as helping to unclog factory chimneys and drill sewers. But at that time, I didn't go to school and didn't even know how much money I should get paid, so I always had no food to eat, haha."

Luo Ya smiled and scratched his head, trying to cover up the topic. He would not deny his past, but he would not like that kind of life. If anyone dared to tell him that suffering is to strengthen one's will, he would probably kick the other person's nose and break it. Suffering? Who would want to eat stale bread when they can eat delicious cakes?

This is an emotion that cannot be expressed by disguise. As a fellow Drake, Tallulah can feel Roya's fire and understand his thoughts. Bitterness and reluctance mixed with a little anger are Roya's current feelings.

"Let's go, we still have a long way to go."

"Oh, so where are we going, sister? It's been two hours."

This time, Tallulah did not refute Roya's address to her, she just pointed in the direction to go.

"Integration Movement."

Chapter 95: The Integration Movement is so poor!

Draco, in Luoya's opinion, this race is basically full of talents. Although there are only four people including himself, a little dragon who debuted halfway, but their ability to stir up trouble is really strong.

First, Abrana established the Deep Pool in Victoria, and then Tallulah formed the Integration Movement in Ursus. It can only be said that they were born to be leaders. As for Roya... he is also a leader, but his leader is Abrana.

So when Roya heard Tallulah mention that she had an organization called Reunion, he was a little surprised. In fact, when he was in Deep Pool, he had been investigating whether there were any other bloodlines of the Victorian royal family left out. After all, one of Abrana's great advantages was the right to inherit the throne of Victoria brought by her bloodline. Roya had to try his best to avoid the emergence of a Lion King heir or something.

Of course, Roja had paid special attention to Talulah, the only red dragon heir who was confirmed to be alive. However, it was outrageous that he had not found out anything in the more than one month in the Deep Pool. Now it was even more outrageous to know that she actually had a force of her own.

(It seems that Tallulah's power is extraordinary, and she has done a good job of keeping the information confidential. Shenchi didn't even get any clues.)

This thought continued until Roya followed Tallulah to the headquarters of the Reunion Movement, and then he found that he was indeed prone to overthinking, commonly known as mental delusion.

"I'm not saying anything, sister, isn't your integration movement a bit shabby?"

Although he couldn't see, Roya's perception ability was barely enough to replace his vision. Roya, who had worked in Shenchi before, suddenly understood what the gap was. Although he had only stayed in the small village that was a temporary base of Shenchi, he knew better than anyone how rich Shenchi was. The Iron Duke generously allocated a considerable amount of advanced military standard weapons to Abrana, and after the Duke of Stafford pledged allegiance, Shenchi even got a high-speed battleship.

As for the Integration Movement? Roya could only say that if this place could have electricity, it would be a victory.

"This... stop talking nonsense and let's go."

Talulah felt that her cheap brother could really offend people with his mouth. How could she not know whether the Integration Movement was poor or not? The key point was that the conditions in the Ursus Icefield were like this. What could she do? She also wanted to develop well.

The Integration Movement was much worse than Roya had imagined. There were probably only a few thousand people, and their weapons and equipment were simple. They were not on the same level as the Deep Pool. Moreover, after Roya expanded his perception range, he felt a lot of people infected with Ore Disease. It was not difficult to see that this was an organization of infected people. Roya wanted to complain. Why did the Red Dragons like to take this kind of biased route? Abrana wanted to unite all the Tala people, but Talula was planning to unite the infected people?

However, what surprised Roya was that he actually sensed two extremely powerful individual consciousnesses, one of which was on par with Tallulah, and the other was even far superior to Tallulah, and was not much different from Roya now.

"Sister, is it really okay for you to just bring me here? Your organization in Ursus... is it a bit unethical?"

Born in Longmen and having stayed in Ursus for such a long time, Roya was very clear about the Ursus Empire's attitude towards the infected, which was to kill them all without leaving any survivors. No wonder the Integration Movement developed so poorly and was hiding in such a place. If it was discovered by the Ursus officials, the Integration Movement would have nothing left the next day.

"You know very well that now that you know about the existence of the Reunion Movement, you can't leave easily."

If it weren't for the fact that Roya's Draco had a special identity and that he might really be her brother, how could Tallulah bring him here? In order to avoid some trouble, she was actually paying attention to whether Roya had left any marks along the way. Roya was indeed blind, and she had taken off Roya's sunglasses to check.

(This is really bad.)

Luo Ya felt that every time he met the Dragon Girl, nothing good happened. The first time he died while saving Chen Huijie, the second time he worked hard for Shen Chi and Abbrana, how would he die the third time?

I had originally planned to rest for a while before returning to Victoria to see my wife, but after meeting Tallulah, I thought about investigating the old accounts, and now I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave.

Moreover, the two powerful consciousnesses he felt just now were most likely the high-end combat power of the Integrated Movement. If he really did something that caused these three to attack together, it would definitely be bad. It would be better to use the power of the Word Spirit less now.

[Remaining life: 12789 hours]

"A year and a half..."

Following behind Tallulah, Roya couldn't help muttering, it was really unexpected that he had lived half a year longer this time. It seemed that after matching the genomes of the Sarkaz and Drake, his body's ability to withstand this power had been significantly improved. Sure enough, the Word Spirit itself was the key to his short life.

"What one and a half years?"

"Nothing. I said I've been practicing for a year and a half."

"?"

"Sword practice."

Roya pointed at the sword behind him, and then at the Integration Movement fighters who were training not far away, indicating that he was just speaking from his heart. But in fact, he had only practiced the Scarlet Sky Sword Technique for half a year at most. Wei Yanwu was almost shocked by him at the time. Chen Huijie had studied the sword technique for more than ten years but still couldn't master it, but Roya almost mastered it in just half a year. Just like Kal'tsit said, he was a genius in all aspects.

"Have you learned swordsmanship?"

"A few fake moves, just to scare the wild dogs."

If Wei Yanwu heard that Luo Ya dared to comment on his family swordsmanship in this way, he would probably come over with his Gatling gun and shoot Luo Ya. Not everyone can learn the Chixiao swordsmanship.

Of course, the wild dog that Roya mentioned was the three-headed dog that he had buried. According to Kal'tsit, that guy was a special one among the giant beasts, half beast master and half giant beast, with the immortality of the beast master and the power of the giant beast, but Roya had beaten it so hard that its consciousness dissipated, turning it into a corpse without self-awareness.

"never mind."

Tallulah would not believe such nonsense. Roja definitely had many secrets that he had not revealed. Putting aside the bow behind him, the broken sword could be made of D32 steel and refined exotic iron. Who was so rich as to use this thing?

"Oh and this sword and this bow were both given to me by someone else."

Roya knew that Tallulah didn't trust him. After all, all the loopholes in his previous words were left intentionally, just to make Tallulah not trust him and make him leave.

"Do you think I would believe such a thing? Forget it, don't play any tricks, otherwise even if you are really my brother, don't expect me to show mercy."

Tallulah left this warning. She could only feel that Roya, the Draco who suddenly appeared, had extraordinary value, but it did not mean that she would trust him. The reason why she brought Roya back was only because Draco's lineage was indeed declining.

The two walked to the entrance of the village, and Luo Ya's perception range saw a consciousness running towards them, as well as a gentle voice.

"Tallulah, welcome back. Is the person behind you your relative?"

"Maybe... it's my brother."

Whether Roya's identity is true or not remains to be verified, but Alina's smile makes Tallulah feel much more at ease. As for what happens next, she will leave it to her. Alina's Originium skills are the best at distinguishing whether others are lying, and Roya will never be able to hide it from her.

Chapter 5: Luo Ya's Unlucky Daily Life (k)

In Londinium, the capital of Victoria, the Western Hall of the Holy King's Society, which serves as the royal palace, is no longer as deserted as it used to be. Since the previous King Aslan was hanged more than 20 years ago, it now has a new owner.

"Originally, it was called the Western Hall. The Drake royal family gathered their ministers in this palace and decorated the outer walls with their favorite gold and rubies. Later, it witnessed the coronation of the first King Aslan and was renamed the Western Hall of the Holy King's Meeting to commemorate the peaceful and prosperous era created by King Drake and King Aslan.

"Twenty-one years ago, Victoria's last monarch was captured and hanged in this garden."

As her fingers gently stroked the intricately carved wall, Abrana felt truly mocked. The alliance that was concluded in the past had caused the Drake family to be constantly suppressed for hundreds of years. Now, there were only herself, her sister, and a missing Tallulah. The Aslan royal family had reaped what they had sown. It was said that there was only one heir wandering outside, and no one knew where he was.

And now she has become the master here, the only apparent heir to the throne of Victoria, a woman that all the grand dukes are wary of and the entire aristocratic parliament is terrified of.

"Mandela, what do you think?"

Abrana looked behind her. She never brought any guards or servants with her. Only Mandela, her trusted confidant, always stayed with her.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The alliance between the two kings is the wish of the Victorians. The hanging of the former Victorian King Aslan is also the wish of the Victorians. If Your Highness wants to sit in that position legitimately, you must first prove your strength, your kindness, and what you can give to the Victorians."

Mandela said this, but Abrana had not actually announced her succession. She knew that these things could not be rushed, so she only announced that she, the heir, had returned to Londinium and directly entered Londinium before anyone could react. This in itself had violated the bottom line of the grand dukes. If it were not for the support of Duke Stafford for Deep Pool, and the various public opinions that Roya had arranged long ago to play a restraining role, Abrana would not have been able to sit still so safely.

"Roya will feel bad for your current performance."

"…After all, he is Lord Roya."

The cold expression on his face softened a little. Mandela knew that if Roya was here, he would definitely rub his head gently with heartache. After all, he was the one who least wanted Mandela to mature too precociously, but he was also the one who cultivated Mandela into this kind of person.

"Also, Your Highness, you'd better take good care of your health. After all, you are pregnant. Forgive me for being frank, but I was really scared when you fought against the Steam Knights."

Mandela still felt a lingering fear when she thought about what happened a week ago. Abrana entered the royal city and loudly declared her status as the heir. Not to mention the group of traitors in the Council of Nobles, the military was naturally dissatisfied. The Steam Knights who had been the most supportive of King Aslan back then were so furious that they rushed to the city of Londinium overnight, vowing to fight against the rebellion.

But Abrana first personally led the citizens of Londinium to line the streets to welcome them with the highest level of etiquette, and then praised the Steam Knights for their achievements in defending the country, making the aggressive knights feel like they were punching cotton.

The worst thing is that after eating and drinking, in order to prove that she was capable of becoming the new King of Victoria, Abrana even took the initiative to fight the Steam Knights alone. In the end, she won the battle against three of them, and won the respect of all the Steam Knights with her strength and attitude.

"According to Roya, people with a sense of justice and morality are actually the easiest to deal with. They just want to know how I, the new heir, view them, the old ministers of the previous dynasty, and how I will treat this country. So he wrote a letter to the Steam Knights a long time ago in my name. Otherwise, most of the Steam Knights would not know what happened in Londinium."

The late king had been dead for more than 20 years. No matter how loyal the Steam Knights were, it was impossible for them to remain unmoved. They had long known that they had been deliberately neglected by the army and the Council of Nobles. Their equipment had not been updated, and their supplies had been interrupted from time to time. The knights who defended their country were treated like this. How could these irritable old men not have a temper?

And Abrana understood the psychology of this group of people very well. She first recognized their achievements and status and showed enough respect. She let the citizens of Londinium come to welcome them just for this reason. Then she proposed a fight, proving that she was by no means the kind of king who only knew how to scheme and plot. The Steam Knights, who had changed their views on her, would certainly not make things too difficult for her for the sake of fairness, unless they wanted to be scolded by the citizens of Londinium.

In this way, Abrana not only proved her strength and heart in front of the whole city, but also gained a powerful fighting force in the form of the Steam Knights under her command.

An individual Steam Knight might only be described as powerful, but when 34 Steam Knights work together, their role in war is absolutely terrifying.

"I still don't quite understand why the Steam Knights accepted it so naturally. They were asking me yesterday when you would become king so they could go out and beat up those Grand Dukes."

"Because they are too old, Mandra."

Abrana reached out and gently pinched Mandela's cat ears. This kitten raised by Roya had helped her a lot in the past month. Abrana felt that if Roya came back in the future, Mandela could keep an eye on him to prevent him from having affairs.

"The last time the Steam Knights were canonized was more than 20 years ago. The youngest Steam Knight is now over 40 years old. They have been exiled for more than 20 years under the pretext of guarding the border. They have no supplies and no equipment maintenance. How could they not be dissatisfied?

"But it was the noble council, the Grand Duke and the military who caused all this, not me, the heir to the throne who had great respect and recognition for them and was loved by the citizens of Londinium."

In fact, Mandela knew all of this, but she knew it would be better to let Abrana say it herself, so that the leader would be happier.

Ever since she knew the relationship between Abrana and Roya, Mandela finally realized that only by pleasing the leader Abrana could she get a share of Roya's soup in the future. The little cat was tactful enough not to expose her ambitions.

"By the way, are their equipment being repaired?"
