In the Ursus capital of St. Stein, Fyodor put down the secret letter in his hand, stood up from his chair, walked to the huge painting, reached out to touch the painting itself, touching this work of art that was equivalent to the history of Ursus, then turned around and looked at Witt who was waiting beside him.
"Can you confirm his identity?"
Witt had already guessed this question, so he answered it without any hesitation.
"Yes, we have received confirmation from Black Snake. The radicals were a little anxious about this and sent out a group of soldiers disguised as patrol officers to try to destroy the evidence, but no one in the entire team survived, not even a body was left.
"In addition, the Holy Fool also said that the return of that person might be an opportunity for Ursus to regain its glory, but it might also be the fuse that buries everything."
If everything Black Snake said was true, then Roya was indeed an unavoidable problem for Ursus. He was able to help Igor overthrow the Hippogriff Empire back then, so who dared to say that he couldn't help Tallulah destroy the current Ursus? The radicals were naturally very anxious, and even had differences over this.
Upon hearing the title of holy fool, Fyodor, the Emperor of Ursus, showed an extremely disgusted expression on his face, not hiding his disgust for the so-called holy fool at all.
"That crazy guy who's playing tricks on me."
Although he expressed disdain for the so-called holy fool, Fyodor had no doubt about Roya's ability. After reading Roya's letter, he understood what kind of person he was. Whether he would become the opportunity for Ursus to rise or become the destroyer of Ursus depended on what he, the emperor, did.
It is unlikely to take direct action against the radicals at this stage. Although it is no secret that the Integration Movement has a relationship with the radicals, it is not appropriate to deal with several core figures of the Third Army before the Integration Movement causes too much trouble. The Grand Duke of Baikal and Viscount Duncker are also involved. This is when Roya's advice to him comes into play.
"Vette, pass on my order to arrest the Reunion Movement in Ursus."
"……Yes."
Witt's answer was a little slow, because he wondered if he had heard it wrong. Wanted Integration Movement? Did the letter left by Roya say something that angered His Majesty? Was the madman His Majesty was talking about Roya?
But there is no need for Witt to think about these things now. He just needs to faithfully follow Fyodor's orders.
When Witt left the King's Hall, Fyodor continued to stare at Roya's back in the painting. Compared with the other excited Ursus pioneers, he seemed so out of place and was the only black color in the whole painting. Everyone who saw the painting would subconsciously notice him at first sight and then think about his identity.
"Ancestor Igor, is this also a clue you left deliberately? Then why didn't you leave more information about this person? Don't you want to or..."
Fyodor subconsciously looked at his hands. The letter that should have been in his hands had fallen to the ground at some point and landed in a corner that ordinary people would not notice. Fyodor didn't even realize when he had dropped it. It seemed as if it belonged to be forgotten in some corner.
On the other side, in Longmen, which is also on the border of Ursus, Chen Huijie kept searching in the archives room of the Guard Bureau, but could not find what he wanted.
"Strange, where did Luo Ya's personal file go? Did someone take it away?"
Wagging his tail in confusion, Chen Huijie felt that this was unlikely. Luo Ya's personal file was not any valuable information, and it was even less likely that there would be any top-secret matters written on it. There was no need for Wei Yanwu and others to do this. Even Chen Huijie was just curious about Luo Ya's background and wanted to investigate.
Before, there were always people coming to Longmen to inquire about Luo Ya's whereabouts, but Chen Huijie had already checked and found out that Luo Ya was not from Longmen at all. That guy sneaked in from the secret passage of Longmen slums more than a year ago. But it doesn't look like he is from Ursus. Judging from his lifestyle and language, that guy is a genuine Dayan person.
"But why can't I find it?"
Chen Huijie remembered that she had personally taken away Luo Ya's file and changed his personal status to dead. It had been less than a month since then, and the dust in the archives room was enough to prove that no one else had been there during this period. But why no one had been there? Even if Luo Ya's file was to be destroyed, it would have to wait three years to comply with the rules.
Chen Huijie really couldn't figure it out, and could only suspect that Wei Yanwu and Lin Yuxia really took Luo Ya's file when she wasn't paying attention. Although there was no motive, this was the only possibility she could think of.
In this case, she could only ask Wei Yanwu and Lin Yuxia, the two people who were most familiar with Luo Ya. Chen Huijie turned around and left, but she didn't realize that Luo Ya's personal file was actually quietly stored at her feet.
..............................
"You mean my past?"
On the night of Ursus, Roya was sitting in front of the campfire eating instant noodles. When he heard Froststar asking about this, he didn't know how to tell her. It's not that he didn't want to tell her, but his past was not that interesting.
"Yeah, I'm really curious about how someone like you was trained. What's the structure of your brain?"
Shuangxing also sat next to Luoya with a bowl of instant noodles. After being treated by Luoya, she can now eat hot food normally, but it still feels hotter than ordinary people. However, it is much better than before when she could only eat cold food.
When Afdoka heard Luoya and Shuangxing talking about this, her ears couldn't help but twitch and she took a mouthful of instant noodles without caring about her ladylike image.
She was actually very curious about this. After all, unlike Shuangxing and others, she knew very well that Roya was one of the pioneers who created Ursus thousands of years ago. For a literary girl, it was hard not to be interested in a living history.
"To be honest, I'm more curious about what kind of structure I am than you are, but my past is boring and there's no point in talking about it. Why don't we discuss our future lives? Shuangxing, is there anything you want to do in the future?"
Seeing that Roya really didn't want to talk about the past, Shuangxing didn't continue to ask, but she really hadn't thought about what she would do in the future. Before she met Roya, her life was already on the verge of death because of the mineral disease. The future was only cold and dark for her, but now Roya brought hope and lit a ray of light in her heart.
"I might open a coffee shop and do some small business."
This is not a very ambitious ideal, but it is surprisingly suitable for Shuangxing. Of course, Luo Ya thinks that it is best for her to open an ice cream shop, which can save a lot of refrigeration costs.
Thinking of this, Luo Ya turned to Miss Rupert, who had quickly integrated into the Snow Monster Team in the past few days and did not show any aristocratic elegance except for her temperament.
"What about you, Aphrodite?"
"I……"
Afdoka suddenly realized that she had never thought about this matter. She was busy escaping before, and these days she was always concerned about the present. Although she had thought about going to Colombia or further places in the future, she had never had time to think about what to do. Fortunately, she thought quickly and the answer came out immediately.
"Maybe I'll be a writer. I think my writing is pretty good."
Hearing Afdoka say this, Luo Ya knew that this girl was indeed gradually coming out of the shadow of the past. Otherwise, even if she left Ursus in the future, she would only spend her life in confusion.
As for what Roya wants to do in the future, he used to think he had no future so he never thought about it. Later he thought about staying with Abramana until the end. Now he just hopes that Abramana won't come over and fight with Tallulah.
"As for me... I just want to live well and be with everyone."
According to Kasheina's words combined with some of Black Snake's memories, Luo Ya can be sure that his past self was definitely not like he is now with only a few years to live. There must be some other reason that made him become like this.
So after helping the Reunion Movement to transfer and stabilize them, Roya planned to repay Tolan first, then go to Victoria to help Abrana stabilize the situation there, and then go to Kazdel to see how Lavishne, Little Ke Rosemary and the others are doing, and then meet who is the person who was once close to him as Kal'tsit mentioned.
In the past, Luo Ya had no expectations for the future, but now it is different. He has to find the footprints he left in this world, explore the secrets of himself, and find a way to prolong his life. Otherwise, dying again and again will only make him miss those he cherishes.
Frost Star and Afdoka didn't know how complicated Roya's thoughts were, but they still agreed with his idea. They would never feel bored if Roya was around, and they would always have a sense of security that they didn't have to worry about anything even if the sky fell.
Turning back to look at her snow monster companions who were talking and laughing behind her, Froststar knew that they would turn around and head towards Casimir tomorrow, a land that Froststar had never been to. She was curious but also worried.
"Roya, do you think we can develop after we get to Casimir's side?"
"It will be a bit difficult, so we will only stay there for a year, and then go to Kazdel, but this part of the plan will have to be discussed together after we arrive in Casimir."
According to Roya's experience, it is unlikely that the Integration Movement will take root in Casimir. At most, it can be regarded as a temporary rental. If the Integration Movement wants to really develop, it must have its own land and cannot rely on others blindly. However, his plan involves too many things. It is impossible to make everyone understand it just by talking, and it will also seem too unrealistic.
"You're really thinking too far ahead."
"After all, I promised you that I would change the current situation of the infected. I have to work harder."
Calculating his own remaining life span, Roya estimated that it was enough. He just didn't know why he could increase his remaining life span by touching the mineral crystals on the Frost Star Watch, but not by touching other people's. Roya had tried it privately, and it seemed that certain conditions needed to be met.
Frost Star had an indescribable feeling when she heard Roya mention this. Although Roya did not suffer from mineralogy due to his special body, Frost Star always felt that his adventurous behavior at that time was largely due to what she said. At that time, she did think that Roya was an arrogant person and did not understand the infected, but the fact that Roya held her hand did scare her and she still felt guilty until now.
But at that time, Luo Ya did not just hold her hand, he also picked her up. Thinking of this, Shuang Xing felt a little embarrassed and reached out to poke his arm.
"Come to think of it, when you were holding me at that time...didn't it feel heavy?"
Due to the mineral disease, Frost Star's body temperature is unusually low, and many organs in her body have been assimilated by the Originium, which has also caused her weight to be very high. She didn't care about this before, but recently she has been somewhat worried that Roya would care about this.
"You're not that heavy. I can lift you up with my tail."
As he spoke, Roya's tail shook in approval. He had only been Drake for a short time, so it was not easy for him to control the tail's response to his expressions.
Hearing that Frost Star and Roya seemed to have an unusual relationship, Afdoka felt a little disappointed. Although it was not a big deal, it was still a little disappointing. However, she and Roya had only known each other for a few days, and she had no right to interfere in the relationship between him and Frost Star.
"I'm full, I'm going to help clean up first."
Looking at Afdoka's leaving back, Frost Star reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Roya's waist.
"You really didn't do anything to him, did you?"
Feeling the coldness so close, Luo Ya suddenly felt uneasy. He didn't know why Shuangxing had learned this.
"Why do you think I could do anything to her?"
"After all, you weren't polite at all when you hugged me before."
"Then let me apologize to you again?" Luo Ya gently took away Frost Star's hand on his waist, with a hint of joking in his tone.
Frost Star didn't really want to attack Roya, at least not in this way. It was just that Roya had saved Afdoka's life, and a helpless girl was living with her savior. Plus, Roya's personality was the kind that anyone could get along with. She was always worried that over time Afdoka would have some inappropriate thoughts about Roya, just like she does now.
Thinking of Luo Ya who had stayed by her side the whole night and the hot blood he poured into her mouth, Shuang Xing thought about it and leaned forward gently, resting her head on his shoulder.
"I should be the one thanking you. You saved my life, but I have nothing to give in return."
"How about I can eat and drink for free in the coffee shop you open from now on?"
Luo Ya seemed to be aware of the girl's thoughts, but he didn't think so much when he saved Shuangxing's life. He could only try to divert the topic.
Shuangxing didn't expect Luo Ya to change the subject to this, but this time she would not be so stupid as to let him lead the conversation.
"Okay, then you will be the shop owner and I will be the boss lady."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shuangxing clearly felt that Luo Ya's body stiffened for a moment. He turned his head and wanted to say something, but Shuangxing had already hooked one hand around his neck and kissed him.
It was a very cold yet extremely hot kiss, her way of thanking Luoya for warming her for so many days, but it was not a repayment for saving her life.
Chapter 137 The sudden appearance of a partner
Although the winter in the Ursus wilderness is still very cold, there is no longer so much snow to slow down the pace, and the pace of the integration movement is gradually accelerating. According to the forecast, they will be able to leave Ursus and arrive at the Casimir border tomorrow. Talulah took a look at the team behind her and was somewhat relieved. All 754 people followed her, and she had to live up to their trust in her.
"Huh, things are going better than expected. At this rate, we can leave Ursus tomorrow. We haven't encountered any obstacles along the way. It seems that Ursus' attention has been attracted by Roya. But we have to be careful after entering Casimir."
The Patriot nodded slightly. He and Tallulah had to walk in the front, the shield guards were in charge of the two sides, and the Snow Monster Squad was in charge of the rear. The five nameless black capes from Lungmen would always investigate all the situations ahead before the team set off. Coupled with the Patriot's understanding of the Ursus army, the Integration Movement could basically bypass all Ursus outposts. So far, they had not encountered any accidents, but the more this happened, the more they had to be careful not to be careless.
Seeing the sky gradually darken, Tallulah waved her hand to signal that they were going to find a place to camp and rest. Although the wilderness was open and there were not many shelters, the Reunion Movement would not make many bonfires at night. Only the elderly and children who were not cold-resistant could warm themselves by the fire to ward off the cold, while the rest of the adults could basically survive. Having lived in the snowfields of Ursus for such a long time, their ability to resist freezing was much stronger than that of ordinary people, so the probability of being discovered was not high. Instead, it was Roya's side that made Tallulah particularly worried.
"I just don't know what the situation is like over there in Roya."
Alina was of course well aware of Tallulah's worries. Even though Roya had only been in the Reunion Movement for a short time, he had been of great help to the Movement. Tallulah had also been taken care of by him a lot, and now she had someone she loved. Even if she had to prioritize the overall interests of the Reunion Movement, she was still concerned about her, but all Alina could do was to comfort her.
"Trust them."
No matter what, all Talulah and the others can do now is to hope that Roya and Frost Star are safe. She is responsible for protecting these people, and Roya is responsible for bringing the snow monster safely. This is what they agreed upon.
Tallulah nodded, and Alina went to arrange the camping and rest. During this period, in addition to teaching everyone literacy and arithmetic, she also did a lot of part-time work. Anyway, she was rarely idle. Tallulah thought that she must give her a vacation after arriving in Casimir.
Just when everything was arranged in an orderly manner, Talulah suddenly felt something and looked into the dark depths of the wilderness. Under Roya's influence, she gradually developed her talent as Draco in directions other than combat, such as using heat to sense the surrounding environment. But this visitor surprised her a little. If there was not only one person, she would have suspected that she had met Froststar and others who came to meet up.
Compared to Tallulah, the knowledgeable Patriot smelled danger from this unusual smell. To be honest, there were not many people in the world who could make him feel dangerous. He picked up his halberd and shield, and vaguely protected everyone behind him.
"Shield guards, gather and protect the others."
After hearing the Patriot's order, even though they couldn't sense what was happening, the shield guards stood beside the Patriot as quickly as possible and raised their shields to protect everyone.
After making sure that the shield guards' defense line was correct, the Patriot walked into the darkness with a halberd in hand. Tallulah also walked to his side and lit the first ray of fire in the darkness, which also illuminated the appearance of the person who came. It was a strange man wearing a tattered coat and his head was covered by a metal can.
Not at all affected by the Patriot's murderous intent, nor worried about being consumed by Tallulah's flames, the visitor saluted politely to show that he had no ill intentions.
"Good morning, noon, afternoon, and evening, my dear friends. I am Cannot Goodinnaf, a traveling merchant. I just felt something was going on here, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to meet you again. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
After politely stating his purpose, Cannot stepped back a little and looked at the black raincoat that had appeared around him without him noticing. He suddenly felt that it was really not easy to do business these days.
"Merchant?" Tallulah thought for a moment, a smile on her face. "He dares to walk alone in the wilderness. It seems that Mr. Cannot is not an ordinary merchant. Isn't he afraid of being robbed?"
Traveling alone in the wilderness is an extremely dangerous thing. After all, bounty hunters, scavengers, and dangerous poisonous insects and beasts can be seen everywhere in the wilderness. The risk is extremely high. The most fatal thing is that you may encounter a natural disaster. However, Cannot appeared here alone and dared to say that he was just a traveling merchant. How could Talullah believe this? Although it was difficult for her to think clearly about many things without Roya, it did not mean that she was stupid.
"You are right." Cannot's voice was full of depression. "A few months ago, a little girl from Pero stole a box of honey cakes from me. Fortunately, I heard that she has an adoptive family. I can go and get my loss back someday."
Tallulah didn't believe Cannot's story. Who would rob someone only for honey cakes? Even a child wouldn't be deceived like this.
"You weren't nervous at all after seeing so many of us, and your body temperature is so low. Do you still want to say that you are an ordinary person?"
Kannot was a little embarrassed when his lie was directly exposed. Although his excuse was indeed full of loopholes, some things did not necessarily need to be said out loud once they were known. Kannot also sighed helplessly.
"Ma'am, you are really perceptive, but I just want to do business. Can't we keep some mystery for each other?"
"Doing business?" The Patriot's voice was low, indicating that he was ready for battle. "You curled yourself up in this small body just to do business with us? Such a lie is too clumsy. Your breath is too conspicuous."
A giant beast or a beast master? Patriot didn't know what Cannot's identity was, but this "man" did give him an inexplicable sense of danger, just like a poisonous snake. Even if you can kill it, you are still worried about being bitten by it. The power in Cannot's body is obviously much stronger than that of a poisonous snake.
This made Cannott even more embarrassed, his eyes behind the metal can were a little evasive, he had recognized the Patriot's identity, but he didn't expect that his disguise would be almost exposed.
"Alas, I told him that this business is difficult, but he didn't believe me." Muttering to no one, Cannot could only raise his hands obediently, "I really have no choice, you two, but I really just want to do business with you, or make friends and invest."
A fierce light flashed across the Patriot's eyes, but it was restrained the next second. If he really fought with the other party, he was not sure if he could kill the other party. Moreover, the noise caused by that level of fighting would definitely alert the nearby Ursus defenders. They were already very close to the border. The army responsible for guarding the border was very different from the patrol teams that the Integration Movement had dealt with before. Many of them were even veterans who had fought with the Patriot. Their combat effectiveness could be imagined.
If the border guards were really alarmed, not only would they not be able to leave Ursus, but the Integration Movement would be completely wiped out here tonight, so the Patriots had to act cautiously and give the choice to their leader, Tallulah.
Of course, Tallulah also understood these principles. For many days, the Integration Movement chose to avoid making fire at night and speed up during the day because she knew that once Ursus discovered her true intentions, it would be a dead end. She needed to think about how to deal with Cannot. What would she do if it was Roya? The answer is obvious. Roya would get the benefits.
"What investment?"
Seeing Tallulah giving in, Cannot's mood quickly improved. While rubbing his hands, he let Tallulah and the Patriot see his tentacles attached to the inside of his windbreaker. It was an act of expressing his sincerity. Of course, his true sincerity was more than that.
"From what I see, you all are planning to leave Ursus and go to Casimir, so you will definitely need a place to settle down. It just so happens that I have some business partners there, and I can contact them to make your movements there more convenient.
"Of course, I also hope to establish a certain degree of business relations with you. For this reason, after you arrive in Casimir, I will provide some material assistance for free as a token of my sincerity. What do you think?"
After saying that, Cannot pointed to his own car parked not far away, saying that he could provide some supplies to Tallulah and the others right away, but it was impossible for people to believe such hospitality directly.
"Mr. Cannot, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. What's more, businessmen value profit exchanges. Why don't you tell me what you need our help with?"
