The guy was holding two large glasses of wine. He walked straight past Ryan and put them in front of Pace:
"Hey, Pace Monarch, you're really awesome."
"Are you complimenting me?" Pace smiled politely.
"Fuck, what else? I'm not one of those squeamish scientists."
The silverfish glanced at the next table, where Grace was drinking with Barbarian Bull, still looking very young.
"Your hand is awesome. Can I take one?" The termite pointed at Pace's silver hand.
"I hope you'll never see that day." Pace shook his head.
"Fuck, okay, I don't understand it either, so I won't fart too much," the woodworm twisted his nose, "Teach me a few tricks, remember, I can't take this beating for nothing."
After saying that, the guy raised his glass towards Pace, then tilted his head back and drank it all.
He gave Pace a thumbs-up, then staggered away to join the group of scavengers dancing around the campfire.
"This guy..." Ruiyin put away the half-drawn sword, "He didn't even say hello to Her Majesty the Queen..."
"Don't worry about that." Ashlia looked at Pace curiously, "It's really strange... After being beaten by you, his attitude improved?"
"Mountain people and scavengers live by nature and are created by the laws of nature," Pace said. "Unnecessary arrogance and calculations do not exist among us. What we pursue is survival and freedom."
"That sounds very philosophical," Ashlia commented.
"Not really. All humans should be like this," Pace smiled. "Maybe similar things will happen a few more times. Once I defeat everyone, they should be able to take shape."
"This is feasible. After all, there was a scavenger group of the same size as the Wolf Pack. It was also a group of small tribes that were conquered and then merged to form a huge group."
Ashlia said, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"Do you think... they can do it?"
“Even if they can’t, the mountain people can do it,” Pace said. “Even if the mountain people can’t, the royal people can do it.”
Pace turned his head and looked to the west, only to see the outline of the Tower of Babel looming on the horizon.
"Because we grew up under the range of the Tower of Babel, but we never surrendered."

Bristol Territory - E.Tran Border
"Boom..."
Thunder adorned the night, falling along with the heavy rain.
This is the border of I-Tran, where it borders the Federation, and it is also the area where the situation is most tense.
"Boom——"
A thunder roared louder than usual. If someone watched carefully, they would be able to see two black shadows passing by at high speed in the night sky.
"Zizzizi..."
Amidst the white steam, Achilles and Harry landed together at the door of the Duke's mansion. The bronze armor was covered with cold raindrops, reflecting the warm light coming out from the window.
"I think I just saw a Federation skyship," Harry said, "Really, it's right on the horizon, a big shadow. Is that the [Admir Sky Eye]?"
Achilles said nothing. He motioned for Harry to follow him, and then walked straight into the Duke's mansion under the guidance of the umbrella-holding butler.
Dozens of minutes later, the Border Duke of I.Tran received the two [Steam Gendarmerie] and told them about their residence while talking a lot.
After the mission was completed, the Duke looked out of the classical French window, at the horizon that was looming in the thundering night:
"You know what? Since the [Competition], I can see Federation skyships flying by at least once a week. It wasn't so frequent before, but now it's happening more and more... I'm almost used to the roar of their engines."
"And His Majesty? Why would His Majesty care about all this? He is a selfish man who only sits on the throne in Alfred's palace and brandishes his gaudy solid gold table knife."
The Duke's voice became sad as he spoke. He raised his head and stared at the mural above the fireplace for a long time - it was Glynis II, an old but very elegant woman with a kind and indifferent face.
"Sometimes, I miss Her Majesty the Queen. At that time, E.Tran's fleet was still sailing on the North Sea, and the glory was always hanging above our heads."
"..."
After coming out of the Duke's room, Harry immediately began to complain:
"Did you hear that? Teacher, even the Duke thinks that His Majesty is a selfish person, don't you think so? He actually refused to join the alliance for some glory or something? This is simply..."
As Harry was speaking, he noticed that Achilles suddenly stopped. He turned his head to look at the French window on the side of the corridor and whispered:
"His Majesty has his own plans."
"What arrangement? The same arrangement he made with Dad?"
"Sorry, kid, we don't have time to stop."
Achilles' voice was calm, causing Harry to swallow some very offensive words.
Following Achilles' line of sight, Harry saw a dark shadow flickering on the vague horizon.
Below the black shadow, there are six thrusters made of blue light, which are constantly flashing like six stars in the night space.
"Is that the [Admir Sky Eye]?" Harry said blankly.
Achilles stared directly into the fleeting light, his face devoid of any emotion.
The ethereal voice of [Holy Temple] rang beside his ears, causing his eyes to become dazed for a moment.
"That is heaven (I-Tran)."
Achilles said, then turned his gaze away from the window and continued down the corridor.
Harry pondered for a moment with a puzzled look on his face, then followed him. Outside the window, the roar of the engine sounded again, just like it had time and time again in this year.
The rain in I-Tran will never stop.
......
5) Three Sisters (Part 5)
The light of the rising sun shines from behind the Great Wall, and the huge sun slowly rises above the Great Wall, shining its light into the sleeping water town.
Looking at the scenery of Qingcheng, Perlis was actually a little reluctant to leave.
To be honest, she likes this place very much. If she were an ordinary person, she would probably settle down here, or at least travel here for seven or eight days to visit all the scenic spots and historical sites that she learned about from Miss Tian.
But no, she still has a target.
"..."
After Su Yao arrived, Perlis and Carly spent their last night at Tianshi's house and left in the early morning.
Originally, Su Yao planned to invite Tian Shi to go to Chaoqu City to collect folk songs. However, the young writer said that he needed to organize the manuscripts he wrote outside the Great Wall and then hand them over to the publishing house.
If I don't do this...it's not about the money, it's mainly about the fact that she might forget about it later and it would be a waste of time.
So, after saying goodbye to Tianshi, Perlis and her group came to the Yin Energy Train Station in the East District of Qingcheng, and headed to Chaoqu City from here.
When entering the train station, Perlis recalled the scene when she took the Star Track Line in Wilkin: However, the trains here were not hanging upside down on the tracks, but were suspended in the middle of circles.
The train is composed of capsules connected in series. Some capsules are larger and can accommodate 6-8 people, while some capsules are smaller and can only accommodate 2-4 people.
"This is a train that relies on factor potential energy to accelerate," Su Yao explained to the two of them. "It's very fast. The timetable says we can reach Chaoqu City in the evening."
"It's so fast," Carly recalled the Qilang map she saw in [Sea of Poetry], "For the same distance, the fastest factor energy train on the Ademir continent would take three days."
Su Yao smiled lightly and said nothing. She skillfully took out her military ID, took Perlis and Carly through the fast lane, and boarded the train.
They entered a small capsule with only four seats and adjustable walls that could become transparent on any side.
"Please take a seat, both of you. A waiter will deliver your meal later."
Su Yao's every move was very elegant. If Perlis didn't know that she was a soldier, she would probably think she was a daughter from a wealthy family.
Of course, Perlis recognized the light in Su Yao's eyes - that was the look only a soldier would have, firm and resolute.
Why did she become a soldier? This aroused Perlis's curiosity.
"..."
Soon, the factor potential energy capsule train started running. A series of small capsules continued to break through the maximum speed between circles of factor energy rings and rushed out at high speed.
Under the protection of the factor shield, even if the maximum speed has exceeded the speed of sound, the passengers in the capsule will not feel too much discomfort.
When the train took off, Su Yao used [Poetry Sea] to adjust the inner wall of the entire capsule to transparent mode, and Perlis suddenly felt that she was flying at high speed between circles of rings. The capsule train quickly drove out of Qingcheng and flew over the fields, making a "buzzing" acceleration sound.
Qilang Technology... is so new... it doesn't look like a country on the Kuroshio land at all...
"..."
Carly, who was sitting next to her, closed her eyes and fell asleep after taking her seat. Seeing her listless appearance, Perlis guessed that she probably didn't sleep much yesterday and was probably surfing the Internet...
Then I'll take a rest as well... we won't arrive until evening anyway.
Just as Perlis was thinking this, Su Yao, who was sitting next to her, spoke:
"Ms. Pearlis, I would like to ask you some questions, is that okay?"
Perlis turned her head and saw Su Yao's sincere light blue eyes. Her short hair was also light blue, just past her cheeks, which made her look noble at a close distance.
"Go ahead." Perlis said calmly.
"Actually, I saw the video of your battle with the Kraken at the Pure Water Lake from General Luo, and I was a little... shocked..."
"He showed it to everyone?"
Perlis immediately imagined a group of people in a small dark room pointing and talking at the video of her fighting, and she couldn't help but frown.
I feel like I'm being spied on... Who took this video? So boring?
Oh. It was taken by Carly, that's normal... I'm used to it...
"Of course. You know, that's the Kraken, a high-level black tide ecosystem. An invasion of this level would either be dealt with by the Great Wall or by local troops. But you're just one person, and you suppressed it so that it couldn't move..."
Not sure if it was Perlis’s illusion, she felt that Su Yao’s eyes were slightly jealous and her mouth was slightly pouted.
But this look soon dissipated, and Su Yao's tone became very sincere:
"Can you tell me how you did it? Even though you were reluctant to tell me before, but... please! I... I really want to become stronger!"
Do you want to become stronger? But it will be very tiring...
Perlis thought back to her life after becoming the [Blade of Babel], days that were almost invisible at a glance.
Power is a curse, a chain that drags ordinary people into the abyss, and no one can stay out of it.
"..."
Perlis looked at Su Yao quietly, and after thinking for a while, she said:
"May I know the reason?"
"The reason...?" Su Yao was slightly startled, "What if I say... I just want to protect everyone?"
"I believe you," Perlis nodded, "but why did Miss Su Yao become a soldier? You don't look... like a soldier..."
Hearing Perlis's evaluation of herself, Su Yao was slightly startled:
"Don't I look like a soldier..." she murmured, "It seems that I haven't been able to get rid of it yet..."
"No offense," Perlis said quickly, "I was talking about temperament."
"Ahaha... It doesn't matter! In fact, I agree with your conclusion!" Su Yao smiled bitterly, "I am indeed... not like a soldier. I can tell you why I became a soldier."
So, while the train was moving, Su Yao told Perlis her story:
"My hometown is Qingcheng. My father is a businessman in Qingcheng. He does some small business. He can't be called a big family, but he also has a place in the city. My mother is a painter. She loves landscape painting. I often go to Meihualing with her. I play in the plum blossom rain, and she uses paper and pen to record my appearance..."
When talking about this, Su Yao had a faint smile on her lips, and her determined eyes softened a lot:
"I grew up with a silver spoon in my mouth. I have lived a rich life since I was a child. I love art. Under the guidance of my mother, I learned the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and gained some small insights. My father always taught me the ways of dealing with people and let me understand responsibility and commitment..."
"I thought that days like this would last forever. I was the eldest daughter of the Su family. I would go to Chaoqu City to study and spend my days wandering among the mountains and rivers... Just like Xiaotian, I would record the world with my clear eyes..."
"But... this life will soon end..."
"When I was eight years old, the [Black Tide Cult] opened a large-scale Black Tide Path on the Qingcheng Waterway. Countless monsters crawled into the houses along the river, and many people died..."
"That day, my mother hid me in the attic, biting my wrist to keep silent. She and my father were not warriors, but they fought to the last moment... for me..."
"When the [Black Soldiers] arrived, I was found in the attic by General Luo... When I was carried downstairs by him, I saw a painting."
"That was a blood painting that my mother and my father drew on the floor with her life..."
