Chapter 121 A Good Day for Debt Collection

In the capital of the Eagle Empire, the Saint Castle, the lavishly decorated meeting hall was filled with noise. Sitting on the mahogany chairs that originally belonged to the Eagle nobles were only warriors with weapons. Most of them had rough faces and loud voices, and did not show any elegant aristocratic temperament. However, they were not aristocrats to begin with, and many of them had blood stains on their clothes. But everyone laughed heartily, and the whole meeting hall was not much quieter than a vegetable market.

A black-haired man with no racial features rubbed his brows, helplessly stretched out his hand and slapped the table, while amplifying his voice.

"Quiet, quiet, you've been arguing for almost half an hour. If you keep going like this, we won't be able to decide what the new empire should be called until next year!"

Seeing that the black-haired man was a little irritable, everyone quieted down. These soldiers who fought bravely on the battlefield behaved particularly well-behaved when facing this man, just like kindergarten children facing their teacher after making a mistake. The burly Ursus man sitting next to him just smiled.

"Don't be so angry, Noah. Everyone is just too excited. After all, we have fought for such a long time and finally conquered this place. From now on, we can tell that Eagle Empire to get lost."

Noah rubbed his brow helplessly, just looked at the group of people in front of him, motioning to continue the previous topic. A one-eyed Filin man raised his hand, stood up and expressed his opinion.

"If you ask me, we should definitely call him Ursus. After all, Igor is the boss, and the Ursus tribe is the most hardworking. We should just listen to him, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. They didn't have many objections to this. The Ursus tribe led by Igor had always been fighting in the front lines and had suffered the most casualties. This was the best tribute to the dead soldiers.

"Since everyone has no objection to this one, let's move on to the next one. I don't expect you to come to a conclusion here regarding the formulation of laws for the Ursus Empire, so I will find some scholars with Kashena to compile a new one and give it to you for review. Is that ok with you?"

Everyone present, including Igor, nodded like chicks pecking at rice. It would be really difficult to expect a group of people who only knew how to fight to come up with a whole book of laws. But everyone was relieved to leave it to Noah and Kashena, and no one suspected that Noah would do anything.

"Kashena, how are you doing?"

Noah looked at the girl named Fidelia who was sitting in a daze at the side seat. She was very beautiful and smart, but she always liked to be in a daze. However, Kashena Koschei was also one of his best students.

Seeing that Kashena was still in a daze, the Filin man who had just proposed changing the country's name to Ursus reached out and patted her shoulder.

"Noah asked if you would marry him."

Under the gazes of dozens of people, the slender snake tail behind Kashena instantly straightened up, and she stood up without thinking.

"I am willing!"

The entire meeting room fell silent. The dazed Miss Fidelia finally realized that she had been deceived again. She blushed and quickly waved her hands.

"I'm saying I'd like to help fix the new law!"

Everyone couldn't help but snicker, except Noah and Kashena, who wished they could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with their feet and move in. Even Igor couldn't help but laugh and teased Kashena.

"So Kashena, you don't want to marry Noah?"

"No, that's not what I meant. It's not that I don't want to, but that's not right!"

Seeing that Miss Fidelia was so anxious that she was about to cry, all the members of the council hall couldn't help but burst into laughter. Noah stretched out his hand and punched Igor on the head, showing no respect for the king who founded the country of Ursus, and at the same time stretched out his hand in front of him.

"Shut up!"

As the words spread, the entire conference hall fell silent. Even the sounds of breathing and heartbeats could not be heard. Even though the words only lasted for a moment, everyone, including Igor, covered their mouths without thinking, realizing that the joke had gone a bit too far.

After doing all this, Noah walked to Kashena, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the girl's head. He still remembered that when he picked up Kashena, the girl was not as tall as his chest. Now she is almost taller than him. Time really flies.

"Okay, okay, I know what you mean. I'll have these guys wear gauze skirts and perform hula dance on the snowy plains to comfort the troops."

These words seemed to bring back some bad memories for everyone. Even the emperor Igor showed a look of horror on his face. Only Kashena changed her nervous look and nodded happily. She knew that Noah would protect her.

It has been like this since she was a child. Noah is her brother, her father, her teacher and her protector. To her, Noah is the most important!

"Ahem, Noah, forget about the hula dance. Do you really not want to leave your face in the painting?"

The painting Igor was talking about was a portrait of their group of founding ministers in a meeting. He hoped to paint this scene to warn future generations that the Hippodrome Empire was defeated by such a group of farmers, blacksmiths and carpenters, as well as some rough guys who only knew how to hunt and graze. He hoped that future generations would not forget where today's Ursus came from and would not repeat the mistakes of Hippodrome.

Noah agreed with this, but was unwilling to leave any information about himself, let alone a portrait, and even written records were not recommended.

"No, if possible, please erase me from all future history of Ursus. Ursus was founded by you, and I just helped a little."

"But if you hadn't brought in the Nightmare army and commanded the entire battlefield, even if we could win, more people would have died. We might even have lost a few old friends here."

Igor always felt it was a pity. With Noah's achievements, let alone being given the title of Grand Duke or Prince, no one would object to letting him sit on the throne. His abilities were obvious to all. If it weren't for Noah, there's no telling how long this war would have lasted.

"I shouldn't exist in the history of Ursus, or in other words, it's better not to have my story in the history of Terra as a whole, otherwise it will be hard to say in the future."

Everyone, including Kashena, just remained silent. This was something Noah had told them a long time ago, but everyone felt that it was too unfair for Noah to do so. At least he should leave something behind to prove that he had indeed paid for the people living on this land.

Realizing the hidden meaning in Noah's words, Kashena's eyes gradually dimmed.

"Then Mr. Noah, are you planning to leave?"

The entire council hall was deathly silent, making people wonder if Noah had used his ability again, but he simply returned to Igor's side as if nothing had happened.

"We'll talk about this topic later. Now we have to continue discussing the various systems of Ursus. Hurry up, don't tell me that I have taught you so many things and you have to give them all back to me."

During the meeting that day, Noah was the only one talking while everyone else was listening. Even Kashena, who was always studious, remained silent. But no one dared to forget every word Noah said. Everyone looked at him, trying to remember the face that could disappear at any time.

Later, Noah did disappear, leaving behind only a new law book of Ursus and some ideas about how Ursus should develop in the future and how to deal with the threat from the north, and then he disappeared, leaving Kashena alone.

Igor and others followed Noah's wishes and did not leave any records about him. They only added a black silhouette that no one could see clearly to the painting, and made up a story about a certain person and passed it on by word of mouth.

But stories are just stories, and they will keep changing with each transmission. The people in the paintings died one after another, and the one who didn't die was too obsessed and embarked on a path of no return. No one except her would remember who Noah was. She became the will of Ursus and the immortal black snake. Even she herself forgot why she did this in the first place.

Perhaps he wanted to protect Ursus, which they had all built together, or perhaps he wanted to see that person again in the distant future. However, he gradually fell into depravity after disappointment, and fell into an abyss that no one knew about.

In Tallulah's spiritual world, Roya stood in the hall that had been burned into ruins, looking at the dying venomous snake in front of him. That was the remaining will of the black snake that had survived last time, and was now affecting Tallulah.

"Is that the only thing you remember?"

The venomous snake did not answer. Luo Ya, who had regained his sight in the spiritual world, only saw endless resentment and anger in its eyes. It left him without saying goodbye and was irresponsible to him. Perhaps the only thing in common between Kashena back then and the black snake today is this love that cannot be let go.

So when Tallulah was moved and expressed her feelings to Roya, she resonated with the remaining black snake consciousness, causing her to lose control and almost break Roya's pelvis.

"……never mind."

Luo Ya did not choose to take action. The remaining black snake will would not survive for long. Tallulah's will had already taken over. It would gradually lose its living soil and die, becoming a part of Tallulah.

"Since I once founded Ursus, I should have said it, right? If it becomes something we don't expect, then I will make the same choice as I did back then."

Leaving these words behind, Luo Ya disappeared into the shadow of this spiritual world, leaving the immortal snake to fend for itself. He would not admit that it was Kashena's. After all, he only remembered a few memories and had the right not to admit it. Time had killed Kashena, and only the black snake was alive.

But even though he told himself so, Roya still covered his head after waking up. It was not because he overdrew his energy last night or was overdrawn by Tallulah, but when he thought about the friends who had stood shoulder to shoulder with him in the past, if they knew that Ursus was like this now, they might jump out of their graves and smash it to pieces.

No, he, the founder of Ursus, has just crawled out of his grave. In this case, he must do something.

"Hiss! My waist, Tallulah really showed no mercy last night."

Unable to help but gasp, Roya almost forgot what time he went to bed last night. Tallulah ignited Kasheina's obsession, coupled with Draco's physical strength, he was almost killed early last night.

Although it was a happy thing to know about his past, it was really inappropriate to do it in this way. How should he explain this to Abram? Should he ask her to kill him a few times to appease her anger? No, Abram would probably lock him up and then find a way to kill Tallulah first.

Last night, Roya wanted to shout for help, but Tallulah didn't even give him a chance to speak. If he had called someone over and seen this, he and Tallulah would have no chance of staying in the Reunion. It would be too shameful.

"It's all my fault."

Sitting on the bed with his head covered, Luo Ya wondered why he didn't think of that those descriptions would also apply to Tallulah. Why did he forget at that time that Tallulah had a sister named Chen Huijie who didn't like him, and Tallulah didn't know that Abranna had a sister named Lavshini.

"I must have been too busy these past few days to make such a mistake. I really shouldn't have done that... But what should I do now?"

This was a problem so profound that Roya couldn't find any solution. If he told Tallulah that the person he liked was Abramana, then he would have to die now. If he told Abramana about this, then the two of them would definitely beat each other to death. After thinking about it, he felt that he might as well just die now, close his eyes and kick his legs without having to think about anything.

But Luo Ya was not such an irresponsible person. He scratched his head and thought for a few minutes, but still couldn't figure out why the progress was so fast. He had only been in the integration movement for a few days and it was like this. Was it just a waste of time to increase his favorability? What would happen in the future? He had seen how strong Aburana's desire was.

"It's really troublesome."

Now Roya suddenly understood why some people were obsessed with going back to the past, but for him, the present and the future were more important. No matter what, he needed to explain this matter clearly to Tallulah.

However, Roya soon understood why Tallulah fell in love with him so quickly. First, he gave the Integration Movement a lot of useful ideas; second, he showed his understanding and recognition of the infected; as for the third and most important point, Roya helped her solve the biggest problem, the Black Snake, which could almost be said to have saved Tallulah's life and the Integration Movement.

With all the above factors combined, it would be strange if Tallulah really didn't have any feelings for him, but the most crucial assist was the obsession that Black Snake left in her mind, probably left over from the confrontation with him.

"Do you hate me so much..."

Luo Ya stood up, put on his clothes, and picked up the sword on the table. He decided that when he had the chance, he would go find other Black Snakes to ask about this question. As for now, the matter of the Integration Movement was more important.

Just as Roya reached out to take down the black bow on the wall, the originally quiet bow began to tremble continuously, telling Roya that this was Ursus, not some paradise.

"come yet."

Roya took off the black bow, and a black flame ignited at the tip of his tail, representing his mood.

The sun is shining today and the wind is mild, making it a perfect day for collecting debts.

Chapter 122 Roya's Fury (6k)

In the highest meeting room of the Longmen Municipal Building, Wei Yanwu finished reading the report in his hand and threw it aside without a second thought.

"No, I won't allow you to go."

Wei Yanwu rejected Chen Huijie's request without hesitation. It was unbelievable that she would want to go to Victoria to find Luo Ya at this time. However, Chen Huijie was already brooding over Luo Ya's death. Later, she heard that Luo Ya seemed to be still alive, but there was no accurate news. Now that she finally knew the whereabouts of Luo Ya, how could she give up easily?

"Why not? Don't you want Luo Ya to come back? Or did you arrange Luo Ya's death?"

Suppressing her anxiety and anger, Chen Huijie looked at Wei Yanwu righteously. She didn't believe that Wei Yanwu didn't know about the rumors about Luo Ya. He might even have sent people to investigate.

"I hope he can return to Longmen more than you do, Superintendent Chen."

Wei Yanwu put down the pipe in his hand. His eyes were sharp in a way that Chen Huijie couldn't understand, but his tone was exceptionally calm.

"But you are Chen Huijie, a member of the Longmen Guard Bureau, and you also have the blood of the Great Yan royal family. Victoria now seems to be balanced, but in fact it is secretly full of murderous intentions. If you go to Victoria to find Luo Ya, it will inevitably make Victoria wary of Longmen and even Great Yan. Do you know what consequences this will bring?"

Chen Huijie couldn't help but clench her fists, but couldn't think of anything to refute Wei Yanwu's words. After all, she knew in her heart that Wei Yanwu was right. Victoria was now like a balloon on the tip of a needle. Even the slightest breeze from Chen Huijie could detonate the situation. After all, she was not looking for any classmates or friends, but Luo Ya, the chief secretary of Shen Chi who had helped Abrana to the position. Luo Ya's behavior of helping Abrana could easily be interpreted as "Da Yan is secretly interfering in Victoria's state affairs", which was enough to trigger a war. If Chen Huijie continued to look for him, it would be giving him a handle.

This time, Luo Ya caused a much bigger trouble than Wei Yanwu had imagined. He realized that it was a waste of talent for him to let Luo Ya take the position of deputy director of the Guard Bureau. Chen Huijie chose to back off after taking a deep breath. She also understood that it would be impossible for her to find Luo Ya for the time being, not to mention that an old classmate sent a letter saying that Luo Ya seemed to be missing.

"Excuse me, Commander Wei. Please allow me to leave for now."

Watching Chen Huijie leave, Wei Yanwu closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, feeling somewhat relieved, but he knew Chen Huijie very well.

"Remember to have someone keep an eye on her movements to prevent her from leaving without permission. Has the guest left?"

A man in black straw raincoat quietly emerged from the shadows behind Wei Yanwu. They knew that the guest he was talking about was the regicide who was caught yesterday. However, because of Luo Ya, they certainly would not embarrass the regicide. They just asked Luo Ya about his current position in the integration movement.

"The guests left last night, escorted by Miss Lin and the five brothers. Mr. Lin wanted to go too, but it was inconvenient for him. The other lady also found out and made a big fuss. You also know that she has a good relationship with Deputy Director Luo Ya. She sensed the sword as soon as it left Longmen, and went to Mr. Lin to ask about the matter."

Hearing Hei Shan say this, Wei Yanwu rubbed his brows with a headache. The image of a sassy and talkative white-haired dragon girl appeared in his mind, and he thought to himself that he was in real trouble now.

"That Miss Nian, she didn't leave Longmen to look for Luo Ya, right?"

Nian had a strange obsession with Luo Ya, which Wei Yanwu couldn't explain. It was Nian who came to him specifically to tell him that there was a very interesting guy who could be used, otherwise how could he have met Luo Ya casually and arranged for Luo Ya to take the position of deputy director.

But Nian's identity was extremely special. Unlike Lin Yuxia, she also had the identity of a natural disaster messenger as a disguise. When she came to Longmen two years ago, Wei Yanwu was almost frightened to death. Si Suitai even sent people to explain in detail that Nian must not be allowed to leave Longmen.

"No, Miss Nian seemed very happy after learning that the deputy director might not be dead. She even said that she wanted to make some offerings on his grave and was even thinking about whether to..."

Halfway through the report, Hei Shan made a gesture of digging something with a hoe, which made Wei Yanwu frown. This young lady really never does things according to the rules. However, this kind of archaeological work should be forgotten.

Hei Suo also felt that this was indeed inappropriate, but he knew better that not everyone could make Nian You behave like that.

"Excuse me, Lord Wei, there are not many people in this world who can have Miss Nian forge a sword specifically for them. The relationship between Deputy Director Luo Ya and Miss Nian may be more special than you think."

Wei Yanwu certainly understood this. He had known Nian for a long time and knew that many people wanted to get a sword from this legendary blacksmith in Dayan, but she never forged weapons specifically for anyone. However, Nian took the initiative to forge a sword for Luoya. However, he thought that Nian just had some appreciation for Luoya.

"No matter how unusual it is, it can't be that extraordinary. There's no need to worry too much. Compared to these, I remember that Lao Binghu's granddaughter seems to be studying in Victoria?"

Thinking of an old friend who had been bedridden for many years, Wei Yanwu was not the one who remembered this matter wrongly. Hei Suo also nodded to confirm his idea.

"Yes, the school Miss Shi Huaiya attends is the Royal Guards Academy where Superintendent Chen once studied."

"Then let the Beatrix family help to check what Roya has done in Victoria. Pretend to be concerned about Shi Huaiya's safety and deliberately leave some traces so that Victoria will think that we don't know Roya's whereabouts."

Waving his hand to signal Black Cape to leave, Wei Yanwu recalled everything the King Slayer said yesterday. He really didn't expect that Roya actually went to find Tallulah, and according to the King Slayer, he turned into Drake? This was too unbelievable. If he wasn't worried about Ursus causing trouble, Wei Yanwu would have wanted to go find Roya himself, and even bring Tallulah back, but he was always constrained by various rules and regulations. Otherwise, how could Roya have needed to be a black glove?

"Roya, do you want to find Tallulah and bring her back?"

Looking at the clear sky outside, all the uneasiness and anxiety that Wei Yanwu had accumulated in his heart was swept away. However, the guilt towards Luo Ya could not be easily suppressed. He and Longmen owed him too much, so this time he would just treat it as a small favor. As for whether Lin Yuxia could bring Luo Ya back, it also depended on Luo Ya's own willingness.

After all, Wei Yanwu also vaguely guessed that Ursus was deliberately concealing the existence of the Reunion Movement and Tallulah, which meant that there was a lot of water behind this matter, and Roya's situation might not be very safe.

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

"Kondrasha, do you think someone from Ursus will come?"

An infected warrior asked the members of the Yeti team beside him. Ever since Roya arranged to increase the sentries, they haven't seen even the shadow of the Ursus Army, and no patrol team has come. The frequent rotation of posts and high-intensity reporting have made them feel a little bored.

"How would I know? But what Brother Luo Ya said was very serious and made sense. He should still come, right?"

Having said that, Kondrasha also felt that this intensity of reconnaissance was a bit boring, but the transfer route had been prepared. The next step was to wait for Ursus's people to come. However, it was unknown whether the King Slayer could get back on time. Now everyone was not so concerned about Roya's identity and origins.

"Huh... you'd better come quickly. I'm freezing. It's a sunny day today, but why don't I feel warm at all?"

"Who knows? But at this moment, I really envy Brother Roya and the others. They don't feel cold even when lying in the snow. I used to think that he and Tallulah were both Vaifans, but I didn't expect it to be Drake. What right does he have to inherit the throne?"
