"Really cold."

"If you keep talking, I can freeze you right now."

It was clearly a threat, but all that could be heard in Frost Star's tone was joy. She almost forgot when was the last time she held someone's hand.

"Let's forget about that." Luo Ya let go of his hand, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have missed an appointment today. "Shuangxing, can you please tell Alina and the children for me? I will go tell them stories tomorrow."

Because this recovery ability is too strange, after a discussion between Tallulah and Froststar, they decided that it would be better for Roya to continue pretending to recover from his injuries. As for the previous events, they would not pursue them. Roya's safety was the most important thing at the moment.

"Okay, then you take a rest first."

Luo An seemed to be really safe and sound, and he also felt the long-lost warmth. Shuang Xing felt much more relaxed, and even walked with a little ease and joy. When he walked to the door, he did not forget to glance at Tallulah and Roa. Seeing the latter nod slightly, he knew that this was just because Roa needed a space to talk to Tallulah alone.

As for what they talked about? You can ask later. Shuangxing now trusts Roya completely, no matter where he comes from or what his past was like. Roya is now willing to stand among the infected as a non-infected person, and even does not shy away from getting along with them. What could be more important than this?

With a helpless smile, Luo Ya found that Shuangxing was really a girl who was easily satisfied. He reached out and patted the side of his bed, then moved his face towards Tallulah.

"Sister, please sit down."

With Roya speaking up, Tallulah sat down beside his bed and reached out to gently hold the hand that he had just held with Shuangxing. As expected, it was very cold and he was a little frostbitten, but Roya disguised himself well and was not discovered by Shuangxing. He didn't want to dampen the girl's good mood.

But Tallulah's mood was not much better. She lowered her head and her tone was no longer as confident as before.

"Feel sorry."

There was only one word of apology, and the rest of Tallulah didn't know how to express her apology to Roya. If she hadn't failed to manage her subordinates well, Roya wouldn't have had to do such a thing.

"There's no need to apologize, sister. You just always think too highly of everything and don't doubt others. In fact, there were already clues of what they did, but you just didn't want to believe it. They have been following you for a long time, right?"

Did he not want to doubt, or could he not doubt? Roya thought it was probably the latter. He could see Tallulah's anger at that time. The fury in her flames was completely different from her usual anger. Any negative emotions would be magnified, which was really tricky.

Finding someone to attack is a technical job. You can't use those infected warriors with little status as examples, nor can you use Froststar and Patriots to shake their trust in you and their prestige in the integration. The team leaders arranged by Tallulah naturally became Roya's ideal targets, and they happened to do things they shouldn't have done.

"Before I met Mr. Patriot and formed the Reunion Movement with Froststar, they were already in my team. In the beginning, they actually did a good job for a long time. I... I can't figure out why they did this."

Tallulah shook her head in disappointment. When she heard that Ivan and the others not only refused to admit their crimes but also slandered and accused Roya, she felt an unspeakable sadness, followed by strong disappointment and anger. At that time, she really wanted to kill those old friends who had followed her for a long time with her own hands. Now, thinking about it afterwards, even she couldn't help but cover her head with fear.

If the Patriot hadn't stopped her and killed any one of them, she would have never been able to turn back. At that time, her consciousness was controlled by anger and she was only one step away from stepping into the bottomless abyss. She almost lost herself. If Luo Ya hadn't suddenly done this almost crazy thing that made her forget even her anger, she might even have fought with the Patriot directly like Luo Ya did a few days ago. Well, they really are siblings.

"Because people change, sister. No matter what a person looks like at the beginning, they will gradually change over time. Isn't it the same for you?"

Roya reached out and flicked Tallulah's horn lightly to prevent her from getting stuck in a rut, while carefully sensing Tallulah's emotional fluctuations at the moment.

"Why do you think I chose exactly those people to come to the meeting?"

Looking up at Roya with some confusion, Tallulah thought the question was somewhat strange.

"Isn't it because they did something wrong?"

"They are not the only ones who have done wrong in the Reunion Movement, and there are more than just these few people who have such thoughts, but I chose them on purpose because they are all involved with you."

After Roya finished speaking, he noticed that Tallulah's flames seemed to have suddenly shot up a little, which was a manifestation of huge emotional fluctuations. She was confused and puzzled, and she couldn't explain her loss towards Tallulah herself, along with some kind of emotion brewing in her heart.

"Sister, are you really incapable of using conspiracy and calculation, or do you just not like to use them, or... dare not use them?"

Tallulah suddenly raised her head and looked at Roya in disbelief, with some fear and worry about someone discovering her secret, as well as some sadness that could not be concealed.

Putting his black tail on Tallulah's hand, Roya remembered that Abrana said this was a way for Draco to express trust, because in this way they could most intuitively feel each other's spirit from each other's flames.

"I heard from Alina and Shuangxing that you never like to doubt others. Even when facing those who betrayed the Integration Movement, you can convince yourself to understand their difficulties, but not to look at their sins and mistakes, because that is very dangerous for you, right?"

Black flames burned on the tip of Roya's tail, and Tallulah could sense his spirit, a feeling of worry and concern.

Tallulah found that she was not that surprised that her secret was discovered by her brother. Roya was very smart and had a very keen sense of smell for everything. He could analyze a lot of things from the details of information. Sooner or later, he would find out that he, as a sister, had too many contradictions and was stubborn.

In fact, it was not just Roya. Frost Star, Patriot and others had also noticed Tallulah's abnormality a long time ago, but they knew too little, and coupled with their years of comradeship, they could not think of this level at all.

Seeing that Tallulah seemed to be still silent, Roya scratched his head helplessly. It seemed that Tallulah's problem was more serious than he thought. He couldn't say how deeply Tallulah was eroded now, but his last goal today was to make Tallulah realize her own problems. Since Tallulah was unwilling to speak, he would be the one to point it out.

"Kosice, it's related to him, right?"

The silver-haired dragon girl suddenly raised her head and looked at Roya. She couldn't believe that she heard this name from Roya's mouth, so she subconsciously became alert, but then she felt that she shouldn't doubt Roya, and she couldn't doubt Roya, because everything Roya did until now was for the integration of the movement and her, but Tallulah still couldn't help asking.

"Roya, where did you hear this name?"

"In Alina's place, and... in Wei Yanwu's mouth."

After Tallulah sent spies to Longmen, Roya's identity would be exposed sooner or later. He could still not explain why he became Drake, but he certainly couldn't hide the fact that he knew Wei Yanwu. It would be better to reveal a little bit now. This time Tallulah, Shuangxing and others have completely accepted him, so even if his identity is exposed, he can make up for it.

"Didn't you say you didn't know Wei Yanwu?"

"That was a lie, silly sister. Can't you be a little more suspicious of others? If there really is a Drac wandering around in the Longmen slums, it would be fine if he wasn't discovered when he was a child, but if no one noticed him when he grew up, then Wei Yanwu's eyes should just be given to me."

As Roya spoke, he carefully observed Tallulah's emotional fluctuations. She was much calmer than he had imagined. Tallulah must have realized in her heart that this was the most reasonable explanation. When Draco was a child, the difference between him and Vaiven was not that big, but the older he got, the more obvious it became. It was impossible for Wei Yanwu not to notice Roya's existence, let alone have any contact with him.

Although the truth of the matter was different from Tallulah's imagination, what was more important was that Roya knew about Kosice's existence. The fact that he was willing to tell him even such a thing proved that Wei Yanwu had already told Roya everything that happened that year.

"then you……"

"There is no doubt that our meeting is indeed destiny. I really didn't expect to run into another Drake in a tavern."

Luo Ya exhaled a breath of hot air. He still remembered what Abrana said about the prophecy of the Cyclops. He really didn't want to believe in such mysterious things, but he had no choice but to accept that it was really fate that made him collide with the red dragon twice.

"I mean, why did you leave Longmen?"

Tallulah found that she was very receptive to Roya's words, and she was not even surprised. She had thought of this possibility a long time ago, but there was one thing that did not make sense. That is, since Wei Yanwu knew about Roya's existence, how could he let his brother's orphan wander outside Longmen?

"This is a rather complicated question. You will know the answer when the people you sent to Longmen come back after investigating."

If Roya's eyes could still see, Tallulah probably wouldn't dare to look him in the eye. Although it was necessary to investigate Roya's background, Tallulah felt a little ashamed for what he had done for the integration movement.

"Sister, there are some things I won't force you to tell me. After all, we all have our own secrets."

There are some things that Roya is not comfortable telling Tallulah, so he will not force Tallulah to tell her secrets. Everyone has their own difficulties, which is normal.

Seeing that Tallulah probably needed time to think about this matter, Roya was not in a hurry to ask her to explain everything. Tallulah had not told Frost Star and Patriot about her affairs for so many years. It was unrealistic to expect Tallulah to reveal her biggest secret. Roya clearly felt that she was worried and afraid, as if this secret itself would affect more than just Tallulah.

But Tallulah needed time to think, and Roya had no intention of stopping there, as he hadn't finished his work yet.

"We'll talk about today's matter tonight. Now we have to start preparing the transfer plan for the Integration Movement."

The first half of the sentence made Tallulah feel relieved. She should be able to give an answer before tonight. However, the second half of the sentence made her raise her eyebrows. After all, the Integration Movement has nearly a thousand people. They are not like bricks that can be moved away at will.

"Are we too anxious? Are we so short of time?"

Roya nodded without any hesitation to this question, and took the tail away from Tallulah's hand and continued to pat the floor.

"Yes, quite a bit. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to take such an extremely risky approach. I could have slowly convinced other members of the integration movement.

"But as the situation in Victoria changes, the spies under the Grand Dukes must have begun to take action. It would be fine if there were only one or two spies, but I estimate that all the Grand Dukes and even Victoria's noble council and military have also started to move. It is impossible for Ursus to have not noticed so many espionage activities.

"Any intelligence chief in Ursus who is not stupid can guess that Victoria's spies are looking for something or someone in the snowfield."

Perhaps the situation was really urgent, Roja's tone was filled with anxiety. What he said was something that Tallulah had not expected. The integration movement was lagging behind in intelligence on the snowfield and was unable to grasp the latest changes.

"The Reunion Movement has caused a lot of trouble in the Snowfield over the years. The Ursus army may have noticed our existence a long time ago, but they don't intend to wipe us out. Why do you think this is?"

Even though there was no spirit in his eyes, Roya's eyes that looked like dead ashes made Tallulah feel particularly uneasy. Combining her previous conversation with Roya, she had a bad guess in her mind, but she was not sure if it was correct, so she tried to speak it out.

"Is it because of me?"

"Yes, it's because of you. Because the radicals in Ursus who are in the same camp as Kosice are not sure whether you are really his successor, nor are they sure whether the Reunion Movement is part of a certain plan. That's why I said it's easy for the Reunion Movement to leave the Snowfield, but it's difficult to leave Ursus."

Roya had made his words clear enough for Tallulah to understand. Kosciuszko had planted the seeds of darkness in her mind and deliberately let her grow up. Even being killed by her was part of his plan. Therefore, before the radicals were sure whether Tallulah was really one of them, they would not be able to take action against the Integration Movement.

Not to mention suppressing the Integration Movement, as long as the Integration Movement has not shown any signs of being out of control, Kosice's accomplices will even have to help the Integration Movement grow faster. They need to help the Integration Movement hide its whereabouts to avoid being discovered by conservatives and reformists, otherwise no matter what they plan to do, they will fail.

"Is that why we are so short of time?"

"Well, as long as the intelligence network is not a mere decoration, other forces in Ursus must have also received the news that 'there is something in the snowfield that Victoria is interested in'. Soon this snowfield will become very lively. By then, it will be difficult for us to leave."

The Reunion Movement and Deep Pool are different situations. Abrana has absolute leadership and unquestionable authority in Deep Pool, and can give Roja enough time to maneuver. However, Tallulah is too peaceful in front of everyone, and even needs to discuss everything with everyone, which also leads to her lack of authority to make people obey her. The geographical location of the Reunion Movement makes Roja want to pack them up and carry them away. What kind of success can they make in this place?

The most important thing is that he dare not imagine how lively it will be here next. The spies of the Grand Duke Victoria, the spies of Ursus, the army, and even other curious forces may get involved. He cannot stay in this place anymore.

After sorting out her thoughts and realizing that the Reunion was in a very bad situation, Tallulah quickly stood up.

"Then I'll go arrange the transfer."

"Wait a moment."

Luo Ya reached out and grabbed Tallulah, patted the bed and motioned her to continue sitting down and listening. Tallulah's impetuous personality was really the same as Chen Huijie's.

"If I could just tell you that everything could be done, then there would be no need for me to go through so much trouble. Remember to tell them that this was all my idea."

"why?"

"Because you are the leader of the Reunion Movement, and the decision to relocate is bound to cause resistance from a considerable number of people, which is not good for you, so putting all the responsibility on me is the best choice."

Loving him and moving his body, Luo Ya suddenly felt like he was back at the Dragon Gate. This was not the first time he had done such a thing.

"If relocating the camp improves the status quo of the integration movement, then your authority as the leader will be consolidated, and people will follow and love you more. If our plan fails and causes losses, then..."

Roya pointed at herself, and Talullah understood what he meant instantly. After the success, all the fame and authority would belong to her. If there were any problems, Roya would bear all the blame and faults. As the leader, she could even punish Roya to calm his anger and consolidate her position.

Looking at Roya, Tallulah found it hard to imagine why he put her in a position where she could not gain any benefit at all. It seemed that he did not care about her own interests at all. Roya himself breathed a sigh of relief:

"Besides, I think the news that I took the initiative to contract the mineral disease has spread. We must not be lenient in dealing with the three traitors. You can observe how others react. This is very important. You must remember one more thing."

He took out a bandage and handed it to Tallulah, asking her to wrap it around his left hand and continue pretending to be injured. Luo Ya thought about it and finally decided to change his plan.

"Remember to tell them that I was lucky enough not to be infected with oripathy."

Tallulah's movement of holding the bandage froze for a moment, and she looked at Roya with even more confusion. She found that every step Roya took was beyond her expectations. Wasn't this guy's train of thought a little too weird?

"Why would you do this? Regardless of whether you are truly not infected or not, you have already come this far. You can completely pretend to be infected and change everyone little by little."

Becoming an infected person makes it easier to spread one's own ideas and concepts after gaining recognition from other infected people. This is the experience summed up by Tallulah. Although she took the initiative to become an infected person because she did not want to inherit Koschei's title of Duke, it is undeniable that the best way to infiltrate the infected people is to become an infected person herself.

The infected people in Ursus have long suffered from prejudice and discrimination, and the gap between them and normal people is so thick that even a cannonball cannot penetrate it. Roya took the risk of being infected to do these things. It would be a pity if nothing changed in the end.

"I did want to do this originally, but what I need is to prove to the infected that I stand with them and it's not just empty words, so let's be honest, it will be a good thing."

Roya thought more than Tallulah. He had already proved his determination to understand the infected. Whether or not the infected would affect the change in his opinion among other people in the Integration Movement,

Because no matter what Roya's identity is, he has expressed through practical actions that he is not against the group of infected people, and his identity as a non-infected person will put him in a more special position in the integration movement, and people will pay more attention to him.

Therefore, Roya can have more contact with Tallulah, Froststar or other infected people, so as to let the ordinary infected people of the integration movement understand that it is not impossible for the infected and non-infected to sit together and drink and chat.

"I understand. I'll listen to you."

Tallulah's smile was much more relaxed. If she couldn't guess what Roya was thinking, then she wouldn't guess. She was sure that Roya would never harm the Reunion Movement. So she just believed in everything he did.

As for Luo Ya's identity? Anyway, she accepted this brother and didn't care about the rest.

Listening to Tallulah's footsteps getting farther and farther away, Roya lay on his side, feeling the change in Tallulah and Froststar's attitudes. The difference was really huge.

"At least the reward is proportional to the effort, otherwise it would be a losing business."

While muttering to himself, Luo Ya was thinking about the future direction of the Integration Movement. He was indeed a man who could not sit still. In order for his adopted sister to get the due reward, he should work harder. The next step was just the first step of the whole plan.

Chapter 110 Gray Hat in Action

"Looking for someone? There are so many people coming and going in this tavern. How can I remember so many people?"

The bartender wiped the glass in his hand and looked at the strange man in front of him who was wearing a black coat, covering his face with the collar, and wearing a gray top hat. He was not very curious about the other party's origins. There were always people dressed strangely like this coming to the bar these days, and even yesterday, military police came to inquire.

Realizing that it might be difficult to find out by just asking around, Gray Hat decided to try another approach.

"It's like this, I'm just looking for my long-lost relative, please help me, sir."

He quietly pushed a gold coin in front of the bartender with his finger. The man in the gray hat almost cursed in his heart, thinking that he must go back and ask his superiors to reimburse the money with public funds. The weather in Ursus is really cold, the ice field is vast and sparsely populated, and there is only one small town within dozens of miles around. It really makes it difficult for a spy.

The bartender was stunned for a moment, then silently put the gold coin into his pocket. His originally casual face suddenly showed a kind smile, and his tone became much more friendly.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm a kind person. Just tell me who you want to see."

All I can say is that money makes the world go round, and this saying never goes out of date. He straightened the brim of his grey hat and thought about how to express it better.

"Looking for a woman, probably in her twenties, with silver hair, a Vaifan but with straight horns, who knows fire-related Originium techniques."

The more the man in the gray hat spoke, the stranger the bartender's face became. He put down the cup in his hand, took out the gold coin from his pocket and put it back on the table.

"Sir, please take this money back. I don't dare to take it."

"why?"

Even though he did not activate the camouflage system on his clothes to change his appearance, Gray Hat did not think that his outfit was conspicuous in Ursus, especially in places like the snowfield where there were always strange people. This time the bartender did not give him a perfunctory response, but was more or less a little uneasy.

"Because you are the fifth person to come to see that lady today."
