Because his origins were still uncertain, and because of the conflict with the Patriots yesterday, everyone in the Integration Movement was a little wary of Roya. He had been sitting here for a long time, but no one dared to come and say hello. Even everyone could see that he might have a relationship with Tallulah. People were afraid of his power to fight against the Patriots yesterday and his bellicosity at that time.
"Who said that? The suggestions and plans you put forward last night were very useful. They really helped a lot. In the past, we have always limited our sights to the land of Ursus and never thought that we could go further."
Now that Tallulah thought about it carefully, she felt that she was really stupid. She had never figured out such a simple truth before, and she needed Roya to point it out. Is this what it means that those who are involved are confused while those who are not involved can see things more clearly?
Luo Ya didn't think this was anything to be proud of. He just had enough information and a different perspective on things.
"There's nothing to be proud of. You guys have been in the snowfield for too long, and there's basically no information exchange with the outside world. I made those suggestions because now is the most appropriate time. If we miss it, it will be difficult for the integration movement to act in the future."
If it were in the past, Naroa would never have proposed such a transfer suggestion. The situation is different and the plan is different. Now Victoria is undercurrent but checks and balances each other, and Kazdel is in civil war but the decline is gradually apparent. It is a good time.
"Then why did you say last night, 'It might be easy to leave the snowfield, but it's not that easy to leave Ursus'?"
"Since Ursus has allowed the Reunion Movement to stay until today, it means that they don't really value us. But if Victoria sends someone to look for us, our Reunion Movement will receive more attention, and it will be difficult for us to leave."
This was a reason that could convince Tallulah, but it was not Roya's true guess. He could see that Ursus was deliberately covering up the existence of Tallulah and the Integration Movement, but not destroying them. This meant that Ursus had a certain purpose in keeping the Integration Movement, but the current Integration Movement was still too weak to be a force to be reckoned with.
Therefore, Ursus would not really want to wipe out the Integration Movement, but would only symbolically send out patrol teams to interfere. However, Ursus certainly hopes that the Integration Movement can grow and become a chess piece with enough influence, and the one who controls this chess piece is undoubtedly Tallulah.
(Ursus, or Kosice, must have some backup plan to ensure that Tallulah can act according to their plan, but they can't ask her directly, as it will have the opposite effect.)
Tallulah felt that the reason given by Roya was reasonable. The integration movement in the snowfield was isolated from information and could not know the changes in the outside world. Its actions were indeed restricted in all aspects. Roya had discovered so many things in just half a day. It was really incredible.
"I don't believe in any gods, but I always feel that it is incredible to meet you. It's as if it was arranged."
As Tallulah sighed, she really felt that Roya was destined to help her. Although Roya had not told her many secrets, she knew that Roya was not a spy sent by Ursus to harm her. At that time, he really wanted to escape, and it was not a trick of playing hard to get.
"Yeah, it's fate."
Luo Ya's expression was very strange. He now seriously suspected that he was destined to be cursed by a dragon, and this had never stopped since he came into this world.
"Why do you sound a little reluctant?"
"Because I don't believe in fate either. The attraction between people is gravity. Maybe the gravity between us is stronger."
This novel statement made Tallulah unable to hold back her laughter, and the slender dragon tail behind her swayed casually, as if she had thought of something happy.
"Then there must be a lot of people who can meet Shuangxing. She is not ordinary heavy."
"Um... Sister, this isn't quite right. I don't think Froststar is that heavy. She's just a normal girl."
Feeling that a very cold consciousness was approaching, Roya tugged at Tallulah's sleeve to signal her to stop talking. He knew that Frost Star's weight was abnormal, but he couldn't say it in front of others. But Tallulah was not like him, who had her temperature sensor on all day long. It was cold today and she didn't notice the white rabbit approaching from behind.
"That's because you haven't known her long enough. Let me tell you, when we first met, that girl got into a fight with me, and I couldn't even knock her back with one punch. That girl also refused to measure her weight every time she had a physical examination."
Luo Ya could see that Talulah and Shuangxing probably quarreled with each other frequently, so she did not hesitate to talk about Shuangxing's dark history in front of her brother.
"I think it should be very mild. Can you describe to me what kind of person Shuangxing is in all aspects?"
The murderous intent and coldness behind him were confined to a perfect range, just out of the range that Tallulah could not notice. But in Roya's perception, Frost Star had already condensed several ice cones to skewer the brother and sister and roast them. He could only choose to change the subject and pray that Tallulah would say something good about Frost Star to prevent the two from fighting, which seemed like it would be difficult to end.
(Please, sister, please say something nice. My injury hasn’t healed yet and I don’t want to play battle royale with you.)
Roya thought that Tallulah would say something good about Frost Star, but he didn't expect that Tallulah would remain silent. She seemed to be staring at him with sharp eyes full of scrutiny. Even a blind Roya could clearly feel it.
After a brief silence of a few seconds, Tallulah looked at her brother with a complicated tone and a "no way" look.
"Hey Luo Ya...are you in love with Frost Star?"
Roya was silent. He could sense that Frost Star's anger and murderous intent behind him instantly fell to the ground like the ice cones in the air, but was replaced by a stronger anger, only the target was him instead of Tallulah.
It felt like nothing he could say was appropriate at this moment. Roya wished he could turn his blindness into dumbness. He was even more puzzled as to how Tallulah could think of this. Could she be a genius?
Tallulah took Roya's silence as a tacit agreement. Although she didn't know why Roya had developed a liking for Frost Star in just half a day, it was better than targeting her best friend Alina, so she also counted on her fingers and tried to find some good points of Frost Star.
"Well, although she seems difficult to get along with at first sight, she is actually very gentle. When Ino and Sasha were restless when they first came to integrate, she even sang a lullaby to coax them to sleep. She is very beautiful. It would be nice if she wasn't so cold."
"Appearance doesn't really matter. I can't see it now anyway."
Luo Ya answered casually while being careful not to be stabbed by Frost Star behind him. Although he was very embarrassed and angry, Frost Star didn't seem to have any intention of taking action. Fortunately, he was a rational person.
Suddenly realizing that Roya couldn't see, Tallulah felt annoyed. She felt it was a pity and breathed out a breath of anger in frustration.
"I, your elder sister, have mineralogy, and your eyesight isn't good either. Let's... forget it. What's wrong with your eyes? I'll find a doctor to check it out for you after we leave."
Tallulah still remembered that Roya had mentioned before that he had become blind during this period, and before that he should have been normal.
But Roya just shook his head. He knew better than anyone that blindness was the price he paid. Even Kal'tsit couldn't help him heal Terra, so it was unlikely that other people on Terra would be able to do so either.
"Being blind is not all bad. At least I won't judge people based on their appearance anymore."
"So that's why you fell in love with Shuangxing? Isn't it too fast? Although I support free love, shouldn't you choose carefully?"
Tallulah's words once again made Luo Ya feel like he was being urged by Tallulah to find a partner. Sister, we've only known each other for less than a day.
Perhaps because he felt that if he let Tallulah and Roya continue talking, he would be furious, Frost Star still walked out and stared at Tallulah coldly, wishing he could freeze her into an ice sculpture.
"Choose carefully what?"
The voice was as cold as winter snow, making people shiver uncontrollably. Before Tallulah could react, Froststar's icy hand had already reached into her neck.
"Ow!!!!"
So this morning, everyone heard Tallulah's first scream.
Chapter 102: Confrontation between Roya and the Patriots
"I said, you're really that serious. You almost froze me to death."
Tallulah touched the back of her neck. Although Froststar was wearing gloves, what happened just now was almost like someone stuffing ice cubes into her clothes in the middle of winter. It was only thanks to the fact that Tallulah was a Drake that she only howled.
But the voice was too loud, and Luo Ya almost worried that his ears might be damaged.
Froststar gave Tallulah a cold look in annoyance, then pointed at Patriot and Roya who were once again in an eye contact.
"Stop talking nonsense. Who told you to say bad things about me behind my back? Instead of that, why don't you think about what to do? Are these two going to fight again?"
Both Froststar and Tallulah agreed with Roya's suggestion to move the camp last night. In fact, they had thought about leaving the snowfield and moving to the warmer and more comfortable south to develop, but the Patriot, as the pillar of the Reunion Movement, had always been opposed to it. He knew very well how vulnerable the Reunion Movement was in front of Ursus.
If the Patriots are not convinced, it would be impossible for the Integration Movement to shift its position. However, Froststar and Tallulah are unable to do this. They can only hope that Roya will ask him to talk to the Patriots in detail. This is why Froststar went to find Roya and Tallulah just now.
But what neither of them expected was that after Roya stated his opinions to the Patriot, the two of them actually ended up staring at each other again. The atmosphere was a little stiff for a moment, and people wondered if the two were going to fight again like they did yesterday.
After a few minutes of silence, the Patriot's breathing beneath his helmet became heavier, and the hoarse, low, and somewhat chilling voice finally sounded again.
"Who are you?"
How could a brother picked up by Tallulah who said he grew up in the slums of Longmen have such a keen sense of the current situation and come up with such a plan in less than half a day? It was extremely inappropriate to choose to trust Roya before knowing his identity and background.
But if the situation is really as Roya said, then the Patriot will not be able to come up with a suitable reason to refute him. As the last pure-blooded Wendigo, he can indeed return to Kazdel as the leader of the Wendigo clan and the Lord of the Royal Court. Both the Theresia faction and the Theresis faction will definitely treat him with courtesy.
"I have had many identities in the past: a thief, a robber, a black market dealer, and a bounty hunter. But are these important? Now I am just her adopted brother."
Roya pointed at Tallulah who was sitting with Froststar. He knew that the Patriot didn't trust him. After all, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental, and he had interfered too much in the affairs of the Reunion Movement. The Patriot's caution was not without reason.
The Patriot's scarlet eyes were too red to look into, but Roya was blind and not afraid of that at all. His rough fingers landed on Casimir's position.
"Why not Casimir?"
"That's not a good place. You who have served in the Ursus army should know that Ursus has become the shadow of Casimir in so many wars. Even if the younger generation of Casimir is full of hatred for Ursus, the Commercial Federation and the Knights' Association will not hesitate to send troops to wipe us out, so as to prevent the Integration Movement from becoming an excuse for the two countries to go to war."
According to the intelligence that Roya had learned, before the previous emperor of Ursus died, this country was an absolute war machine, constantly relying on plunder to develop itself. Except for Dayan, most of the surrounding countries had fought wars with Ursus.
Casimir's fighting power is far inferior to Ursus. Although he relied on a ruthless man named Cyril Linguang to turn the tide of the war, the pain brought to Casimir by Ursus still remains. Casimir would never offend Ursus for the sake of an integration movement.
"Wouldn't it be the same in Victoria?"
"No." Roya shook his head confidently. "Victoria is as strong as Ursus. Even if the Grand Dukes cannot tolerate us, they will not do something that would be ridiculed by other compatriots, such as handing over the Reunion Movement to show goodwill to Ursus."
There were some things Roya didn't say, that is, if the Integration Movement really went to Victoria, and Ursus took this as an excuse to attack, it would be extremely beneficial to the entire Deep Pool, which could contain at least two Grand Dukes and reduce a lot of pressure on Aburana.
But he had to keep these words in his heart, and he could not reveal his bias towards either side.
The Patriot did not refute Roya's words. After thinking for a while, he found that this was indeed the character of the group of Grand Dukes of Victoria. They would not even bow their heads in front of the king, let alone the threat from Ursus?
"What about Kazdel's civil war?"
"It will be over within a year, and it must be over."
When mentioning Kazdel, Roya's tone was obviously more emotional. You know, Ravshine, Xiaoke and Rosemary are all in Babel Tower. If the Integration Movement really moved to Kazdel, Roya would definitely go to find them. He just hoped that Kal'tsit could really take good care of them.
The Patriot nodded slightly, motioning for Roya to continue and explain the reasons clearly.
"In the final analysis, the civil war in Kazdel is a conflict between two ideologies in the Sarkaz. Demon King Theresa advocates peaceful coexistence and self-development, while her brother Theresa advocates war and revenge. But in the final analysis, the civil war consumes only the resources and population of the Sarkaz. No matter which faction it is, they are all thinking about the future of the Sarkaz and know how serious the consequences of a civil war will be. Therefore, within a year, either the two sides will cease fighting or one of them will collapse."
Roya tapped his fingers on the table. He was always very serious when talking about serious matters, with an irrefutable aura. Tallulah and Frost Star couldn't even find any opportunity to interrupt.
When Roya mentioned that one side would collapse in the Sarkaz War, the Patriot's momentum weakened a little. After all, that was his hometown, and he had even fought alongside Tracys and Theresa. The brothers and sisters who had fought together to defend their homeland had now become enemies, and it was hard for him not to feel lost.
"So where do you think is the best place?"
"Kazdel, after all, the Sarkaz people don't discriminate against the infected."
As the race on Terra that is most susceptible to oripathy, the Sarkaz are equally unpopular, and are even given insulting names like "Demons". However, no one will dislike anyone else, and their identity as patriots can help the Integration Movement to temporarily stabilize its pace.
But the Patriot's heart could no longer maintain the same peace as before. He still remembered that when he and the other Wendigos left Kazdel and prepared to go to Ursus, Tracy and Theresa came to see him off before the conflict broke out. Tracy expressed regret for his departure, and Theresa only wished him the life he wanted in the future. However, the funny thing is that even if he left Kazdel and withdrew from the Sarkaz Royal Court, he was still killing people all his life and could not escape the war.
He lost his own son because of Ursus's policy towards the infected, and his wife died of depression. The Ursus he was loyal to was gone forever, so he took up arms and left the army, becoming the nightmare of those brutal villains on the snowfield.
But he really loves the land of Ursus, otherwise how could he drag this body to fight until now, and how could he be called a "patriot".
Now, as Roya said, he could indeed return to Kazdel, but what should he do after returning? Both Tracys and Theresa were generals he followed. He understood Tracys's idea of revenge, but he did not oppose Theresa's idea of peace. He knew that no one was wrong, and Roya was not wrong either.
Roya looked at the Patriot with his dull eyes, waiting for his answer, but as expected, the Patriot did not nod. He just picked up his weapon and turned to leave without even saying a word. But this just illustrates his attitude. If he wants to refute someone, the Patriot can come up with more than three reasons. Tallulah has experienced this a lot.
But if he just kept silent, it would prove that he was considering Luo Ya's suggestion.
Seeing the Patriot's attitude, Tallulah suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly followed him as if she wanted to talk more.
"Mr. Patriot, Mr. Patriot, please wait a moment."
Seeing that Roya did not follow, Frost Star walked to his side with some confusion. She thought Roya would follow Tallulah to persuade the Patriots.
"Why don't you go up and persuade him again?"
"That's not necessary. He just needs to think about it again. After all, I'm a person of unknown origin. I should be more cautious about such a major event that concerns the future of the Integration Movement."
If the Patriot really believed Roya's plan easily, then he would really think that the Integration Movement was hopeless. Leader Tallulah believed in Roya because she could sense his thoughts from Roya's flames, but Patriot and Froststar could not. They had to treat Roya more carefully.
Shuangxing glanced at Roya and saw that there was no displeasure on his face and he even looked a little smiling. He subconsciously thought of the things that Tallulah and Roya had talked about before, and he had the urge to put his hand around this guy's neck.
"Since you know your origins are unknown, why are you still so eager to help us with ideas?"
"My sister seems to be very worried about the future of the integration movement. As a younger brother, I can only help her."
Roya knew that the most suspicious thing about him was that he was too active. Just like he had told Abrana before, if someone showed kindness without any reason, he was either a traitor or a thief. The Patriots and others knew this, but they could not find a reason to refute Roya, because they had no idea that Roya's purpose was to help Abrana and to integrate the movement for good.
As for his identity? Presumably, the informant sent by Tallulah to Longmen could easily find out. Luo Ya felt that he should be somewhat well-known in Longmen, after all, he had only been dead for a few months.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Luo Ya, I'm 23 years old this year, so I should be considered a Longmen person... Single."
Thinking that he and Abrana were not married yet, Roya felt that he was single, otherwise Tallulah would definitely ask him who he liked. It seemed that he, as a sister, was too concerned about his brother's life. It was a bit helpless to say this, as there were too many obstacles in the relationship between him and Abrana.
Frost Star shifted her gaze slightly away. She didn't care about Luo Ya's love life.
"You've only been in the Reunion for half a day, and you've already analyzed so many things and given so many suggestions. It's hard for anyone not to suspect that you have other purposes."
"But I really didn't know about the Reunion Movement until yesterday. I was born in the Longmen slums, and I'm not a confidential staff member."
Luo Ya knew what Shuang Xing was thinking. The ability he showed was indeed a little too much. Whether he was the deputy director of the Guard Bureau or the chief secretary of Shen Chi, these two positions held considerable power and there were always many things to deal with. He was just used to thinking at this speed. Moreover, if he didn't do something or think about something, the voice in his mind would tempt him to do something.
This is what worries Roja the most. He has only mastered 5% of this power similar to the power of the Word Spirit, and this situation has already occurred. If he masters all the power, one of Terra and him will die in the end.
Frost Star did not doubt that Roya knew nothing about the Reunion Movement before, but she scoffed at what Roya said about his birth in the slums.
"Whose ghetto thugs can compete with the patriots of the Integration Movement, and have such foresight?"
"I really didn't lie to you. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. I just stand high enough and see more, even though I'm blind."
Roya never thought he had much foresight. He was just curious about what the spy sent by Tallulah to Longmen would find out. In fact, if he didn't show up, the Integration Movement would probably leave the snowfield within a few months. Otherwise, how could Tallulah, as the leader, go out to gather intelligence in person?
Next he should think carefully about how to explain why the former deputy director of the Longmen Guard Bureau, a guy who should have been in the grave and been cursed, actually appeared here?
(Alas, the identity I was talking about at the beginning turned out to be Tallulah’s brother by mistake. How can I make it up in the future?)
In order to cover up a lie, you need to cover it up with another lie, but sooner or later it will be revealed. Luo Ya waved his hand casually and turned to leave. He planned to find something to do.
"I'm going to be busy now. See you later."
"What are you busy with?"
