"The fifth?"

The bartender nodded. He was not a fool. He had worked in the bar for so many years and had seen all kinds of people. He knew what was right and what was wrong. Just now, he thought that the man in the gray hat was a bounty hunter, but five people in a row wanted to find the whereabouts of the same woman. This was not a matter he could get involved in.

The man in the gray hat frowned, feeling that this job was not easy. Although he knew that he was not the only one who wanted to find another red dragon, there were too many of them. Did they really think that Ursus's intelligence network was just for show? He needed to be more restrained next, and it would be better to find the target as soon as possible.

Reaching out and pushing the gold coin to the bartender, the man in the gray hat knew that the man in front of him should have the information he wanted. He had done some investigation before and found that the target had appeared in this bar before.

"This is payment. This is just a simple transaction between us. Just treat me as an ordinary person who comes to drink. Any kind of wine will do."

"Well...well, the lady you are looking for did appear in our tavern, but she just ordered a glass of wine and sat in the corner of the tavern."

The reward of one gold coin was still very tempting. The bartender thought about it and nodded in agreement. He honestly explained what he knew and also mixed a glass of wine for the man in the gray hat.

"Really? You remember it so clearly?"

As he spoke, the man in the gray hat opened his collar to reveal his young face, and picked up the glass of wine to taste it. The bartender's skill in mixing cocktails was quite good.

The bartender pinched the gold coins in his pocket through the cloth with his fingers and gritted his teeth. Now that he had said this,

"Because the lady was chasing Mr. Noah away, and many people besides me saw it, so they were certainly impressed."

Hearing a name that seemed familiar, the man in the gray hat couldn't help but spit out all the wine in his mouth.

"puff!"

Fortunately, due to the professional habits he had developed over the years, the man in the gray hat turned his head away and did not spray the wine directly on other people's faces, but he still wondered if there was something wrong with his ears just now.

There were many people who came to inquire about Tallulah's news, but the one with the biggest reaction was the one in the gray hat. The bartender looked at him with some worry.

"Are you okay sir? Is our wine not to your taste?"

"No, it's not." The man in the gray hat shook his head. "I just heard a piece of news that surprised me even more. Are you talking about Mr. Roya?"

He asked this, but the man in the gray hat hoped in his heart that he had just heard it wrong. Even if it was the Ursus Internal Guard standing in front of him, he would admit it. But he hoped it couldn't be the chief secretary of Shenchi. He would rather die than see him.

Although there were rumors about a certain Shenchi secretary being dead more than a month ago, who would believe such unfounded news? Not to mention that it was later found out that it was Shenchi who spread the news, which made people believe that Luo Ya was not dead at all, but just moved behind the scenes.

When Gray Hat first accepted the mission, he said that he would most likely encounter Roya. After all, the Grand Dukes could think of asking Tallulah to counterbalance Deep Pool, so would Aburana and Roya not think of it? Therefore, Gray Hat estimated that the first thought of the other Grand Dukes' spies was to avoid encountering the ruthless man who dared to kill even the Grand Duke.

The bartender was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and then shook his head quickly.

"Ah, no, I'm talking about Mr. Noah, a man who used to live with us, but he seems to have moved away in the past few days. It seems that he left with the lady you are looking for. They are relatives."

Because Tallulah was chasing Roya when she left, the bartender was worried about Roya's safety. But soon Roya came back with Tallulah to pack up and leave. Plus, the two looked very similar, so the bartender thought Roya was some noble young master who ran away from home in anger and was caught by his family.

But now it seems that neither Luo Ya nor the silver-haired lady are simple characters. The bartender can only say sorry to Luo Ya in his heart. Letting Luo Ya stay for such a long time is considered as repaying his kindness. There is no other way. The man in the gray hat has given too much.

"relative?"

After hearing that it was Noah and not Roya, Gray Hat was somewhat relieved. The Deep Pool Secretary was an existence that the entire Grand Duke of Victoria would never want to dream of. But after hearing the bartender say that the man named Noah was a relative of Tallulah, Gray Hat couldn't help but wonder. According to his intelligence, there should be only one red dragon on Ursus' side, so how come there was one more?

"Yeah, they look quite similar, and I asked about it at the time, and it seems that they are siblings."

The bartender's words made Gray Hat's heart beat faster. Brother and sister? I didn't expect there would be such an extra surprise. Although the intelligence said that Edward only had one daughter, since she was with Tallulah... maybe she was really Edward's illegitimate child. If he could get two red dragons, the Duke would definitely be very happy.

"Then do you know where they went?"

"I don't know about that, but it seems like they bought a lot of things, food, medicine and so on."

The man in the gray hat nodded slightly, put down his glass, and stood up to leave. This was all he could learn from a bartender, but he already had many guesses of his own.

First of all, if the target is Tallulah, then she should not be planning to travel if she buys so much food and medicine by herself. In other words, she has a huge demand. Does she have her own power?

He walked to the back of the tavern and pressed the camouflage system inside his clothes. The black windbreaker and top hat turned into the thick cotton coat commonly seen in Ursus, and the gray top hat also turned him into a native of Ursus.

"Ahem, ah... well, the voice imitation is pretty good too."

After making a good disguise, Gray Hat decided to look around the town to see if there was any trace of Tallulah. According to the bartender, many spies have been looking for Tallulah's whereabouts recently, so he needs to be more cautious. Moreover, this is the land of Ursus, and he doesn't want to cause too much trouble. But it seems that no one except himself knows that Tallulah may have a force of her own.

Either this force involved with Tallulah was established not long ago, or it has always been relatively law-abiding. However, Gray Hat does not believe the second possibility. After all, the Drakes are born to be leaders. Their ambition and ability to incite others are innate, and they will never be content. Therefore, he has a third guess.

"Is Ursus deliberately hiding the news?"

The man in the gray hat stroked his chin and thought, feeling that this mission might be more difficult than he had imagined. The snowfield of Ursus seemed to be very complicated. But no matter what, as long as he didn't meet Mr. Roya, everything would not develop in the worst direction.

........................

Integration Movement, in Tallulah's room, Roya kept writing with his tail. He heard some noise and looked up at the door. He felt that the person pushed the door with some force, and guessed that Tallulah came back, and she was in a bad mood.

"It seems that just as I expected, many people choose to stay, right?"

Sitting beside Roya in frustration, Tallulah nodded helplessly. She had been pretending to be confident all along the way, but when she came back to Roya, she couldn't pretend anymore. She couldn't help but glance at Roya. She still cared about what he said before, but she still talked about the transfer first.

"I counted the total number of people in the Reunion Movement, and only less than 700 of them are willing to go with us. The rest think it's too dangerous to leave the snowfield, so they plan to run this base as a new village."

Tallulah fell silent after she finished speaking, waiting for Roya's reaction, but to be honest, she couldn't help feeling disappointed. Since the establishment of the Reunion Movement, there have been traitors like Pavel, but she thought they were very rare. It was not until now that she had to admit that many people did not have the so-called loyalty to the Reunion Movement, but just wanted to find a good shelter.

Roya did not answer immediately, but continued to write on the paper with his tail. Although he could not see the paper and pen, relying on the experience accumulated from long-term work and a strong memory, the words he wrote were still accurate and the handwriting was exactly the same as his own. However, doing this required him to stay concentrated, which made it difficult to chat with Tallulah.

Only when he had almost finished writing did Luo Ya finally speak.

"More than expected, which is a good thing. Sis, did you tell them that it was me who suggested it?"

Tallulah nodded. Although she was a little naive and too honest, she was not forgetful. She remembered everything Roya said.

"I did as I was told. Everyone's reactions were about what I expected. After hearing that you were not infected, most people said that you were lucky, but that you were too easily carried away. Especially those children. If Alina hadn't stopped them, they would have definitely come to see you."

At this point, Tallulah's mood gradually improved. The news that Roya dared to directly contact the Originium crystal of Frost Star spread quickly. After all, this time it affected five team leaders. Roya was also Tallulah's younger brother. This kind of gossip spread very quickly in the not-so-big integrated camp.

Originally, many people in the Reunion Movement had some opinions about Roya, a non-infected person, but relying on the fact that he was Tallulah's brother, he had a conflict with the Patriots on his first day. Everyone would be more or less wary of him, and this was also because Roya had been in the Reunion Movement for a relatively short time.

When faced with an outlier in a group, it is hard for others not to look at him with a strange look and attitude. However, after learning that Roya dared to actively infect himself with the oripathy, those who were originally suspicious of him suddenly changed their minds. As infected people, they know best how painful this disease is. Some people were even kicked out of the house and cut off all ties with their families after contracting the oripathy. Now that they see that Roya, who is not infected, can actually do such a thing, most of them are relieved that he is not infected with the oripathy.

There is always a kind side to people's hearts, and no one wants the suffering they have experienced to be repeated on those who care about them. Since Roya has shown his determination and courage to stand shoulder to shoulder with the infected, the people of the Integration Movement do not want such a healthy person who is willing to accept them to suffer from this torturous disease.

When she thought about the fact that such people made up the majority of the Reunion Movement, Tallulah's mood changed again. Roya also noticed this and pushed the written information on the table to her.

"Are you feeling better now?"

"It should be said that it is much better now." Tallulah's face showed a confident smile again. She took the paper and took a look at it. "Is this... a development plan?"

The small piece of paper was densely covered with beautiful words. No one could tell that it was written by Luo Ya with his tail. What was more important was the content, from the transfer route of the integration movement to the location of the new camp, and how to develop and grow in the future, and even several ways to do business. No, robbing merchants was not allowed.

After carefully reading the entire plan from both sides, Tallulah discovered that Roya not only wrote the transfer operation clearly on it, but also integrated and reorganized the existing departments of the integration movement. Combined with Roya's previous statement that he knew Wei Yanwu, Tallulah felt that this should be what Wei Yanwu taught him, but wasn't he teaching too much?

Noticing that Tallulah seemed a little confused, Roya felt that he might not have written some details clearly.

"Since this is a rough draft, I have only written a rough outline. How about you take a look at it? In particular, you should consult with the Patriot. He should know more about the border between Ursus and Casimir."

"What you wrote doesn't even look like a draft, but it is indeed feasible. I will go find Patriot and Froststar later, and call the other team leaders to have a meeting together. But if we really want to move, then we may have to wait until the leader of the reconnaissance team, Kingslayer, comes back, which will take another four days."

Tallulah made an estimate. She now thought that Roya's status in Longmen was probably very special. The King Slayer would definitely be back soon after getting the news. Four days was just enough time to prepare for the transfer.

"Okay, we'll find a way to get a few more vehicles, and then we can disguise ourselves as different caravans to move. But if we have four days... Sister, double the number of reconnaissance posts, divide them into four shifts, and monitor the surroundings 24 hours a day. Report every minutes, and make a note of even a bird you see."

In the past, Tallulah would have thought that such vigilance was excessive, but after talking with Roya for so long, she knew that it was necessary.

If Koschei's accomplices really wanted to use Tallulah and the Reunion Movement to do something, given the current situation where Victoria's spies are reaching out to the Snowfield, those guys who don't want their plans to be disrupted will definitely urge the Reunion Movement to leave the Snowfield.

In order not to expose his own purpose and not to damage the foundation of the integration movement, the best way is to send a certain number of troops to drive the integration movement in a certain direction in the name of extermination. As for killing Victoria's spies? One or two is easy to deal with, but this time there are too many.

"The Fourth Army stationed nearby belongs to the Emperor's reformists. If Koschei's followers want to force us to leave the snowfield, they can only send a small group of elite troops. But we still have to be prepared to avoid casualties as much as possible."

"I know. Then I will go find Froststar and Mr. Patriot and inform them of the meeting tonight and arrange for the increase of sentries."

Tallulah knew that not a moment of time could be wasted. Otherwise, whether Victoria's spies came to the door or the Ursus army came to encircle and suppress, the Integration Movement would be very passive. The best thing to do was to just leave and let those guys fumble around in the snow.

"Then go ahead. I'll think of something else. The development plan for the Integration Movement after arriving in Casimir is still a little inadequate."

There wasn't much Roya could do now, but it was important enough. Moreover, he helped Tallulah not only to get the Reunion Movement on the right track, but also to avoid difficulties for the Deep Pool. Tallulah's existence was a shake to Aburana's status as the heir, because strictly speaking, Tallulah was the most legitimate heir to the Red Dragon, but her identity as an infected person was also Tallulah's biggest obstacle.

And if the Grand Dukes of Victoria found out that Roya was also in the Integration Movement, what would they think? Since the spies in Victoria liked to find the Red Dragon so much, it would depend on whether they would welcome me, the Secretary of Deep Pool, back to Victoria.

Thinking of this, Roya couldn't help but feel a little excited, but he was also a little worried about how to explain to Tallulah if he was recognized.

Seeing Roya lower his head, take out a piece of paper and roll up a pen with his tail, he looked a little expectant and a little sad. Although she didn't know what he was thinking, Tallulah thought he was quite cute.

If only I had met Roya earlier.

Chapter 111 Roya's New Position (8k)

During the late night integration movement, everyone, led by Tallulah, sat around the campfire to discuss the next camp transfer plan. Tallulah briefly described the plan compiled by Roya, and then looked at the people in front of her.

"In summary, Mr. Patriot will choose the retreat route, and Roya will be responsible for negotiating with the local forces in Casimir. Mr. Patriot and I will be responsible for ensuring the safety of the road in the front, and the shield guards will be responsible for the rear. The detailed evacuation plan will be discussed together and issued later. Now everyone can speak up if there is anything you don't understand or raise any opinions."

Tallulah sat back next to Roya and waited for others to speak. After all, the Integration Movement was not hers to decide alone. Important matters such as the relocation of positions still had to be discussed with everyone, not to mention that this time the relocation had to be directly to Casimir, which would be extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming.

"I have a question." A team leader raised his hand, "Won't the Yeti team come with us?"

There was no place for the Yeti Squad in the transfer plan just now. Tallulah glanced at Roya. In fact, she was also very curious why Roya did not arrange the Yeti Squad in. This should not be a mistake, right?

Following Tallulah's gaze, everyone also looked at Roya. Many people had only met Tallulah's brother once or twice, and they were originally a little dissatisfied with him, but what Roya did was enough to make anyone shut up. Everyone present was reasonable, and they would show sincerity if Roya made his attitude clear.

After pondering for a moment, Luo Ya looked at the dozen people around him and felt that the people here should be more trustworthy, so there was no need to hide it. After all, honesty is the best statement.

“After you set off, the Yeti Squad will work with me to divert the attention of the Ursus army and buy you enough time.

"Our combat power is currently not comparable to that of Ursus' regular army. We need to avoid the enemy's attack. If the entire team goes to Casimir, it will be easy to be discovered. Therefore, we must keep it a secret after we return. Do not tell others our destination before departure, otherwise it will be much more difficult for us to leave."

At present, it is not certain whether there are any Ursus spies in the Reunion Movement. Roya does not want Ursus to know his plan and prepare in advance, otherwise he and the Patriots will not be able to compete with the other party together. He can't spend his life again to lift the restriction, but Roya has not finished yet.

“As for not putting it on paper, it’s because this plan will be shown to certain people in the future, misleading their thinking. When they see that the Yeti Squad is not on the plan, they will think that the Yeti Squad may be the key to our action.

"So in the next few days, the more someone wants to see this plan and the more they want to find out about the Snow Monster Team, the more problems they will have."

Seeing that what Luo Ya said seemed to make sense, everyone couldn't help but think from their perspective. If they were spies, they would also want to find out the movements of the Yeti Squad. This idea is indeed feasible, but the patriot thought about it and still felt that some aspects were not appropriate.

"In this case, we need to put the plan somewhere where it can be easily seen. Our plan will be leaked, which is very risky."

The Patriots' idea was not unreasonable. Even if they wanted to lure out the Reunion's internal spies, this move would carry a lot of risks. Ursus was not a fool, and Roya naturally understood that.

"That's why we have to make them believe that what's written on this piece of paper is fake. The minds of spies are actually easy to guess. The easier it is to get something, the more they will suspect it's a bait. What we have to do is not to let Ursus know that we are going to Casimir, but to make the Ursus army believe that we will never go to Casimir. This will ensure that our actions will go more smoothly."

This is a tactical deception, and there are many details involved before and after. It is impossible to write them all down on a piece of paper. There are also many things that cannot be written on paper, so Luo Ya needs to tell everyone orally.

"But this alone is not enough, right?"

Frost Star knew Roya's plan, but felt it was not safe. What if Ursus's excellent matching mechanism matched the Reunion with a spy with a dull mind, and then the plan was really handed in, that would be disastrous.

"Yes, so at this time we need the help of our spy friends from Victoria."

Everyone present knew that Victoria's spies were active in the snowfield, but Roya thought that most people in the Integration Movement might not know Tallulah's identity yet. As for whether to make it public later, that was something he and Tallulah were going to talk about tonight.

At this point, everyone knew what was going on, and Shuangxing immediately realized what Luo Ya was planning.

"You mean, if we pretend to contact Victoria's spies and deliberately let the people in the camp know, the spies will mistakenly think that we are actually going to Victoria?"

"That's right. I think Victoria's spies have already found their way to our area. There are few people on the snowy plains, so our actions will definitely leave traces. Besides, the first requirement for a spy is the ability to escape, the second is the ability to find people, the third is professionalism, and the last is combat effectiveness."

What Luo Ya said was irrefutable until a team leader thought about it, raised his hand, and looked at Luo Ya in confusion.

"Then I don't understand why Victoria's spies would come to our Integration Movement. I don't think the nobles there would welcome another group of infected people in their territory."

Someone finally asked this question. Victoria's spies took the risk to look for people in Ursus' territory. It was impossible that they were really looking for infected people to be guests. Frost Star, Patriot and Alina, who had just been appointed as an educator, knew the inside story, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.

Tallulah didn't want to mention her past identity because if other infected warriors knew that she was not only the heir to the Duke of Ursus, but also the heir to the throne of Victoria, the trust they had in her would be shaken. She was not sure if she would be able to face everyone's doubts and suspicions after telling the truth.

Roya glanced at Tallulah, and the tail behind him gently poked her back in a corner where no one could see, indicating that he would take care of it.

"Because Talullah and I are both descendants of Drake, and are the natural heirs to the throne of Victoria. Although neither of us grew up in Victoria, now that Victoria has a new king who wants to succeed the throne, the Grand Dukes naturally hope that Talullah and I can join the game, or even become their puppets, to restrict the leader of the Deep Pool, the ambitious red dragon Abranah."

Frankly, directly and straightforwardly, without any excuses, Roya's words stunned everyone. Frost Star and Patriot thought he would make up some lies, and the other team leaders did not expect such explosive news. Even Tallulah did not expect Roya to say it so directly, but Roya knew very well that hiding this news would only cause hidden dangers of distrust within the integration movement.

"This is actually nothing to be surprised about. After all, this kind of bloodline will bring countless troubles rather than strength. Tallulah and I are now left with each other."

At this point, Roya's tone was filled with unconcealed sadness. Whether it was Tallulah or Aibrana, they were persecuted to the point of family destruction just because of the blood of the red dragon. If she hadn't been alone for too long, how could Tallulah accept him so easily?

Several team leaders looked at each other in confusion, and saw the bewilderment and surprise in each other's eyes, as well as more puzzlement, and finally looked at Luo Ya.

"But...but since you have such a high status, why do you still want to be with us?"

"There are always some people in this world who do things that are not understood by others. They are usually called fools. Tallulah and I are such people. Besides, it doesn't matter if we don't have that kind of status. Even if we really return to Victoria, it's better to sit around the campfire and chat with everyone now. Not to mention that one of us has been infected with the dreaded mineral disease, and the other has completely lost her sight."

A few words were not enough to dispel the estrangement caused by Tallulah's identity. Roya knew that he had to work harder. If this matter was exposed in the future, the impact would be significant.

"Why didn't you tell us before, Tallulah?"

The team leaders looked at Tallulah. In their opinion, it was inappropriate for such important news not to be told. Tallulah did not trust them.

"I……"
