Roya noticed that when he mentioned the word infected, Afdoka's consciousness did not show any resistance or uneasiness, but was just a little surprised. This was really strange. You know, most Ursus people would think of a deformed devil when they heard the word infected.

"Although my parents also said that the infected are scary, I have seen the infected and they are just a group of unfortunate people. Besides, I was not forced to this point by the infected."

Afdoka hugged her legs with a sense of loss, not daring to close her eyes. She still could not forget how her parents and even her entire family collapsed overnight, and how she had escaped here relying on luck and instinct while being chased by the killer, with her tail between her legs. She had finally temporarily ended her life on the run.

Luo Ya was very satisfied with her attitude. To be honest, even if the girl had jumped out of the car just now, it was completely within his expectations. Ursus's slander and propaganda against the infected were too serious. What she said was very fair, and it was not simply to please others by staying in the car.

"Are you a noble from Ursus?"

"How did you know?"

Avdoka looked at Luoya with some confusion. The clothes she was wearing were the cotton clothes she exchanged with a farmer when she was escaping. She did not tell him her last name and she did not have any identification on her.

"Your tone and manner are very formal, as well as your manners. It's obvious that you've received considerable training in aristocratic etiquette."

Luo Ya did not continue to guess, but Afdoka's experience was not difficult to guess. In his opinion, it was nothing more than another boring internal fight among the Ursus nobles, but there were always some innocent people involved. It was not easy for Afdoka to survive.

After being reminded by Luoya, Avdoka realized that although she had changed her clothes, her words and actions were still the same as at home, so she naturally couldn't hide it from Luoya, but Luoya clearly didn't look back.

When Roya said that Aphrodite was an Ursus noble, Froststar was obviously unhappy. The air around them became colder, and Aphrodite was shivering. Roya had no choice but to poke Froststar with his tail to signal her to be more reserved. At the same time, he raised the temperature in the car, and then turned around to face Aphrodite.

"What are your plans next?"

Staring into Roya's dull eyes, Avdoka didn't feel any sight. She then realized that Roya was a blind man and even subconsciously ignored his question.

"Can't you see?"

"Yeah, otherwise I'll be the one driving. What are you going to do next?"

Talking about his own affairs, Luoya asked Avdoka, she thought about it for a moment and then shook her head.

"I don't know, I just want to survive and get away from here, as far away as possible."

"In that case, how about you temporarily joining us? We are also planning to leave Ursus, and we can give you a ride along the way."

Roya and Shuangxing had previously agreed to bring Aphrodite along, otherwise the girl might expose their whereabouts and they might be arrested by the Ursus patrol as accomplices of the integration movement, which would not be good for anyone. They were planning to leave Ursus anyway, so it should be the same for Aphrodite.

Afdoka roughly estimated her current situation. She was penniless, and her limbs were still sore from the energy she had consumed while escaping. She had no ability to survive in the wild, and she didn't know how to support herself. It was a pipe dream for her to want to leave Ursus on her own. It was obvious what to choose.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Although she agreed, Afdoka still had some concerns in her heart. Even if Roya and the others were not the killers hunting her down, it would be terrible if they had bad intentions. She had seen how dark people's hearts could be. Just for money, the housekeeper who had taken care of her since she was a child could help others kill her parents without any scruples.

Luo Ya knew that it would be difficult for Afdoka to trust him and Frost Star, but they simply didn't want Afdoka to leave and cause any possibility of information leakage. It would be okay to let her leave after Casimir.

Seeing the familiar scenery outside the car window, Avdoga's expression gradually became uneasy.

"Are you going to the city?"

"How is that possible? I was just passing by. I just wanted to go into the city to chat with someone I know. You also know that Ursus would never allow infected people to enter the city."

Not to mention entering the city, any infected person seen by the Ursus military and police would be captured and locked up in a closed place to die, so only Roya entered the city.

After hearing that she didn't have to go into the city, Avdoga was obviously relieved, because she had escaped from that city. If she returned to the city, she couldn't say whether she would be targeted again. Her enemies would not let her go in the short term.

But she soon remembered a question and looked at Luo Ya with some worry.

"Is it really okay for you, a blind man, to go into the city alone?"

"It shouldn't matter."

Luo Ya was quite open-minded about it, but there were indeed some troubles in the city, mainly because of the large flow of people. It was impossible to confirm the temperature of each person one by one. He could only rely on the consciousness brought by the words, so he had to be careful.

Moreover, compared to these insignificant matters, what Luo Ya cares about most now is how many people know his identity and know that he is back.

He had high hopes for the speed of intelligence transmission from the Internal Guard. Two or three days had passed. Those who truly controlled the future direction of Ursus must be having a headache at this moment. After all, they were facing an ancient legend whose existence could not be found.

The fact was indeed as Roya expected. After realizing his possible identity, the Interior Guard decisively reported the discovery to one of the representatives of the radicals, the Grand Duke of Baikal who was in charge of the Third Army of Ursus, and Viscount Dunkel, who was also the most critical means in Koschei's plan.

After reading the report in his hand, Grand Duke Baikal took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Viscount Dunkel in confusion, and finally understood why the other party came to see him in person.

"So we are facing a being that is even older than Ursus. Are you sure the inner guards didn't recognize the wrong person? I have never heard of such a person."

"This matter has been confirmed by the last Black Snake. According to her, the other party's status was second only to the emperor at that time. Even Black Snake was taught by him. You should have seen the portrait on the wall of the King's Hall. Haven't you ever wondered who the person was who could stand beside the king of Ursus with a sword without any chair?"

As the Grand Duke of Ursus, Baikal had of course been to the King's Hall, and like many others, he was curious about the only person without an identity in the portrait. But now, to hear that a pioneer who founded Ursus had suddenly appeared from nowhere, holding a shovel and ready to bury the entire Ursus, he still felt like he was dreaming.

However, compared to Roya's matter, there is a more important matter before the two of them. Baikal threw the letter in his hand into the fireplace, with worry in his eyes.

"Does His Majesty know about this?"

"It cannot be concealed. The actions of the inner guards were originally deserting their posts. We thought the actions in the snowfield could be explained as being related to the evil spirits, but this time three inner guards were seriously injured. His Majesty got the news faster than we did. The inner guards loyal to him have already tortured us to find out everything. We are in big trouble."

Viscount Dunkel's face was also very unhappy. Roya's appearance almost disrupted all their plans.

Originally they just wanted to use the Internal Guards to force the Integration Movement to leave the snowfield to avoid being discovered by the emperor's spies and thus ruining their and Kosice's plans. Who could have thought that a pioneer of the founding of Ursus would suddenly jump out? It can really be said that the ancestors of eighteen generations have manifested their spirits.

The most terrible thing is that the Emperor knows the existence of the Integration Movement, which makes them radicals very passive. According to the original plan, they were to deliberately let the Integration Movement grow and conceal the information for them. Then Talulah would use the Integration Movement to provoke a territorial dispute with Longmen, and the war with Dayan would be inevitable. No matter what contradictions or divisions there are within Ursus, the war will suppress all contradictions or turn them outward, and they will have more time to deal with the contradictions left over from the previous emperor's continuous expansion through war.

But now the integration movement is irrelevant. The emperor's reaction and Roya's attitude are the most important. Even if he is not as ambitious and authoritative as the previous emperor, Fyodor is still the emperor of Ursus. All his reformist forces are still the strongest on the surface. And what about Roya? Not to mention his combat power of repelling three inner guards alone, how could the person who taught Black Snake be a simple person?

"It's all the fault of those damn Victorian spies. If their activities in the snowfield hadn't attracted so much attention, we wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation. We could have talked to them."

This time the radicals were extremely unlucky. The elderly Grand Duke of Baikal knocked over the expensive red wine on the table with one punch and was very angry. Viscount Dunkel knew that now was not the time to be angry.

"At this point, what should the Reunion Movement say? How about we..."

Viscount Dunkel made a gesture of wiping his neck. He wanted to simply destroy the Integration Movement. In this way, as long as there was no evidence, the Emperor would have no way to say anything.

"We won't gain anything by doing this. Besides, our previous undercover agents have also sent news that the Reunion Movement plans to move to the southern area near Victoria. As long as they move fast enough, we can prepare before Your Majesty and pretend that the Reunion Movement has been eliminated. The Internal Guard said that Tallulah is gradually being transformed by the Black Snake, and it shouldn't take a few years. Even the so-called Ursus Pioneer would not have thought that the leader of the Reunion Movement is one of ours."

Having said so much, in fact, the biggest thought in Grand Duke Baikal's heart is that he is reluctant. It is certainly possible to destroy the Integration Movement directly, but he is too old and has no energy to prepare the next plan. Koschei's plan took nearly ten years from beginning to end. If he chooses to give up the Integration Movement at this time, it will be a failure, and he can only wait for death.

What's more, the Emperor's Fourth Army is stationed on the snowfield, and any large-scale mobilization of their Third Army will cause another civil war in Ursus, which may be taken advantage of by others. So all he can do is try to distance himself from the Integration Movement and help the Integration Movement escape to the south.

"Now we can only help the Integration Movement clean up its mess while waiting for the new black snake to hatch."

Grand Duke Baikal breathed a sigh of relief, trying to make himself appear less irritable. He thought that everything would be fine as long as Tallulah turned into a black snake.

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

In the grove outside the Integration Movement, as the crystal sword was melted once again, Lin Yuxia's defeat was already obvious. Tallulah was not even serious. Draco's high temperature was too strong to restrain Lin Yuxia.

"you lose."

Tallulah put away the fire and reached out to help Lin Yuxia up, but she slapped her hand away.

"I'm not so bad that I can't stand up yet, but you have made great progress over the years."

"Although I don't want to admit it, Kosice is indeed very experienced in the use of strength. Fortunately, he can no longer bother me now."

Seeing Lin Yuxia stand up and pat the steamed sand, the corners of Tallulah's mouth rose even more. It felt really good to defeat her love rival physically with her own hands, but she still had to say something nice.

"You're still as strong-willed as you were when you were little. I guess Huijie and Beatrix haven't changed either."

"I don't want to mention Chen Huijie. As for Shi Huaiya, she is still studying in Victoria. She wrote to me a few days ago saying that she wanted to join the Longmen Guard Bureau after graduation."

Unable to defeat Tallulah, Lin Yuxia's momentum weakened a little. She thought to herself that she must find a way to train her strength after returning. Her weaknesses were exposed today.

"I'm actually looking forward to meeting them."

The corners of Tallulah's mouth couldn't help but rise, and without waiting for Lin Yuxia to say anything, her tone suddenly became somewhat teasing.

"How about when Luo Ya and I get married, I'll send you an invitation to the wedding?"

Seeing Tallulah's arrogant expression, Lin Yuxia couldn't help but clench her fists. Why did she feel that Tallulah was still infected by the black snake? When did this guy's personality become so annoying?

Lin Yuxia was indeed right in her guess. Tallulah's current personality was somewhat influenced by the traces of the black snake remaining in her mind, but this would not have any impact on her personality and mind. It would only make her less and less willing to hide herself.

She just likes Luo Ya, and if anyone dares to snatch him away, then let him fight with his fists.

Chapter 130: Frost Star's Sudden Situation

Winter nights always come earlier in Ursus, and driving at night is very dangerous, so Roya and his team found a place to rest temporarily and continue planning the route they had learned.

Frost Star carried a big bowl of fried rice and walked to Luo Ya's side and sat on the ground like him, waiting for him to finish thinking. She knew that what Luo Ya was thinking about must be very important. She just needed to look at him and then judge whether his plan was reasonable.

Feeling that there was one more person in his perception range and smelling the smell of food, Luo Ya realized that it was time for dinner.

"Well, is dinner ready?"

"Eat it quickly before I cool it down."

Frost Star stuffed the still warm dinner into Luoya's arms, then sat beside him, feeling Luoya raising the temperature around him. Although it was useless to her unless it was a direct touch, she always felt warm in her heart. The snow monsters were sensible and did not come to disturb them. There were only her and Luoya here.

"What were you thinking about just now?"

"There are many things, such as how to use the reformists to contain the radicals and get something from the conservatives, how to ensure the safe transfer of Tallulah, how to quickly get out of Ursus, and then some miscellaneous matters, such as how to make the locals of Casimir live in peace with us in a friendly way."

Lifting the bowl and taking a bite, Luo Ya was actually thinking about much more than what he said. He had not stopped thinking even in the car. He wanted to ensure the success of the plan as much as possible, and to ensure that no one in the Yeti team was missing, and he could not tolerate any mistakes.

Frost Star just listened, then reached out and gently patted Luoya on the shoulder.

"You think too much. It would be better to let your brain relax occasionally and stop making things so hard on yourself."

Luo Ya really thinks too much. Shuang Xing is most worried that his constant thinking will consume too much energy. He has only joined the Integration Movement for less than a month, but he cares about the survival of this organization more than anyone else.

Roya certainly understood Frost Star's concern. He was indeed a little tired. The situation facing the main integration movement was too bad. He had to take a gamble for the future. Moreover, he did not want too many people to die.

"If any casualties are caused by any minor flaw in the plan, I will be held responsible."

"But you are not a perfect person. How can you take into account the development of all things and everyone's reactions?"

For Frost Star, the suggestions and plans given by Roya were perfect, taking into account almost all possible situations. Even if an accident really occurred and caused additional losses, she would not blame Roya. The same was true for Tallulah, Patriot and others. After all, this transfer plan was discussed by everyone, and if there were any mistakes, it was everyone's fault.

Shuangxing would not add more pressure to Roya, but just hoped that he would not take so many responsibilities on his head. She knew what Roya was planning. Since he was personally carrying out the most dangerous bait mission, Roya would definitely rush to the front if there was any danger.

"You've done enough."

Luo Ya touched his chest and exhaled gently. He had indeed tried his best to do well enough, but he always felt an indescribable anxiety in his heart. It was not a premonition that something bad was about to happen, but a kind of impatience of "No, there can't be any omissions", as if he had once had the experience of not doing enough and causing a worse situation.

Originally, Roya wanted to explain, but since Shuangxing said so, Roya had to put those thoughts aside for the time being, relax his brain, and concentrate on eating.

"I was indeed a little impatient."

"Then I can help you calm down, like putting ice in your neck?"

Smiling, he condensed an ice crystal. Seeing Luo Ya constantly shaking his head, Frost Star was very satisfied with his performance.

While eating, Roya temporarily shifted his attention away from the entire transfer plan. He had already thought about how to deal with the people from various factions in Ursus that he might have to face next, so it would be better to pay attention to the situation here.

"How is Aphrodite doing?"

"It's okay. She's very well behaved. She didn't show any discrimination against the infected but she didn't want to get close to them either. She probably guessed that we weren't an ordinary caravan and was a little wary, but it wasn't a big problem."

Shuangxing exhaled a breath of cold air. Even though Luo Ya was right beside her, she felt even colder for some reason. This was not right, but she didn't take it too seriously.

Luo Ya did not doubt the slight temperature change. He had too many things on his mind and his reaction became slow after he relaxed.

"Just let her sleep alone in a tent tonight, and let her leave after we leave the Ursus border in a few days. She is just a victim of the struggle among the Ursus nobles, and she has nothing left."

"Well... OK, whatever you say."

Frost Star covered his head, feeling a little dizzy and sleepy, and stood up shakily.

"I'm a little sleepy, so I'm going to bed first. Don't stay up late."

"Doesn't it matter?"

Because he couldn't see what was going on, he could only feel that Frost Star seemed to be unsteady on his feet. Luo Ya was a little worried, but Frost Star just waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"Well, it's probably because we drove for a long time today. Selina will take over tomorrow."

Frost Star yawned as she walked towards her tent. Luo Ya was still a little worried and was ready to send her back personally, but he felt Aphrodite coming over, so he could only continue eating with the bowl in his hand.

Walking to Luoya's side and watching him casually eating with the bowl in his hand, Avdoga was silent for a while before asking the question in her mind.

"You're not some caravan, are you?"

Roya didn't answer, which seemed to Avdoga to be an automatic acquiescence to her guess, but she continued speaking.

"Your clothes are very uniform, but there is nothing in your car that can be regarded as cargo. Those dozens of tents are not for sale. And how could a caravan full of infected people appear in Ursus? I have also seen your car, it belongs to the Ursus army, which means you have at least attacked the Ursus patrol team."

Hearing this, Luo Ya finally nodded as if admitting it. In fact, if he was not worried that it would be too fake, he would not bother to erase the Ursus logos on the cars. After all, his goal was to deliberately let people know the location of his group and create the illusion that the entire integration movement was here. As for how to do it, he already knew what to do. Entering the city tomorrow was for this purpose.

However, he still needs to comment on Avdotka's analysis.

"You are very smart and have strong analytical skills, but you reacted too late and deliberately told me all this, which is very dangerous."

"But you won't hurt me, will you?"

Avdoka mustered up the courage to watch Roya's every move. It was only after careful consideration that she decided to come to Roya and tell him what she had discovered. This was indeed very risky, even reckless, but if Roya really regarded confidentiality as their top priority, then they would not have kept her at all. They could have just left her somewhere before Avdoka woke up, and giving her some money and food would have been the most merciful thing they could do.
