The Cloud-Raised Brave Man's Travels

Cintrea, the Platinum Grand Master of the Casimir Fearless Alliance, sighed helplessly and accepted the information from the man before her. Refusing the mission meant certain death, while accepting it meant possible death. She chose the lesser of two evils. But when she saw Koya's photo in the folder, she decided this mission wasn't so bad after all. "Why didn't you tell me about the human form earlier? I thought you wanted me to seduce the dragon!"

Perhaps because she had set her expectations low enough, Cintrail's favorability rating for Koya had already soared to eighty when she saw her photo. She had long since given up on her Fearless Alliance assassin job, and finding a man to marry and live with was exactly what she wanted! And this man was so strong, even if she defected, the Dark Iron Throne wouldn't be able to stop her! With this thought, Cintrail suddenly began to look forward to this mission.

Xinteleya wasn't alone; one could expect Zilan to receive a flood of job applications from beautiful women in the next few days. Meanwhile, Koya, the man who caused all this, was now leisurely returning in his aircraft, completely unaware of the scene awaiting him in Rhodes Island.

By the way, Koya returned early. Most of the Rhodes Island operators are still on vacation in Xiosta. The doctor is also currently in Xiosta discussing the relocation of Xiosta's "High-tech Zone" with Mayor Herman. After Koya's shocking performance last night, the Colombian officials wisely gave up Xiosta, so the meeting between Herman and the doctor went very smoothly.

The reason why Koya returned to Rhodes Island early was because of a very important matter. Kal'tsit was going to announce the existence of Originium Potion to the public, and all this was thanks to Koya. After he showed his power last night, Kal'tsit received communications from various countries one after another, and the content was quite consistent, that is, agreeing to Rhodes Island's proposal and allowing Originium Potion to be sold in major cities.

"Koya, shall we go to Longmen together later? Last time we didn't even eat half of what was in the snack street."

"It's not possible today. I have to go to the town of Qiecheng. Let's wait for two days."

"Barbecued Pork Cat, when did you become so familiar with Koya?"

"Hehe, we are good friends, good friends who eat snail noodles together!"

"No, I'm sorry, I can't order snail noodles—"

Yes, the three people from the Dragon Gate Guards were also riding in the same aircraft with Keya. They had taken leave to travel to Xista, and they would naturally go back as soon as the Obsidian Music Festival was over. By the way, this aircraft also belonged to Shi Huaiya, and Keya was the one who had used it.

"Speaking of which, since the three of you are taking leave together, who is in charge of the Longmen Guard Bureau now?"

"The highest position we three hold is merely captain of a frontline combat team. Why do you think the Longmen Guards Bureau won't be able to function without us? How did it function before we three joined the Bureau?"

"...I was stupid."

"Actually, I'm planning to resign from the Guards—"

"List?"

"There are things I want to do, but my identity as a member of the Imperial Guard is a shackle for me..."

The aircraft fell into silence. After confirming that Chen's mind would not change, Shi Huaiya and Xingxiong did not try to persuade her any further. Chen was the kind of person who would not change her mind no matter how much others tried to persuade her once she made up her mind. Shi Huaiya and the others would not ask what Chen wanted to do next, but would only silently offer her blessings in their hearts.

Terra's aircraft are unique, prioritizing safety over speed due to the scourge. By the time Keya reached Rhodes Island, it was already night, and the indicator lights on the Rhodes Island deck were conspicuous in the darkness. However, Keya didn't let the pilot land, instead having him open the hatch. It's worth noting that Keya could fly, and if he hadn't been afraid of getting lost, he would have flown back long ago.

Shi Huaiya and the others had no need to land in Rhodes Island. After seeing Koya jump off the aircraft, the aircraft flew towards Longmen.

"Koya~ this way, this way."

A cute profiteer stood next to the indicator light, waving a glow stick in her hand. Fortunately, she was a member of the Sarkaz blood demon clan, otherwise how could she see a small human figure in the dark night sky.

"Kulusier, long time no see. Why didn't you come with me on vacation to Xiosta this time?"

Koya used his unfamiliar flying ability to land next to Kal'sil. It was strange because his wings were very useful when he was in dragon form. He could fly and land as easily as walking on two legs. But when he spread his wings in human form, they were like a rebellious teenager. A slight flap of his wings could move him more than ten meters horizontally. He couldn't control it at all.

"I'm the head of Rhodes Island's logistics department. You guys went to Xiosta to have some fun, but I've been toiling away in the warehouse for two days preparing the goods. Plus, with the Originium potion being announced these past two days, I'm taking a break by coming to pick you up now."

"Thanks for your hard work--"

"Speaking of which, Koya, what have you been doing recently? I feel like your body smells better than before. Let me smell it carefully."

Krosier jumped onto Keya, put her arms around his neck and began to sniff his face. Her upright little nose touched Keya's face from time to time. If you didn't know, you would think that Krosier was seducing Keya.

In reality, Kruciel was seducing Koya. To a blood demon, the blood of the Doctor and Koya was a delicacy, possessing an unparalleled allure. Even blood demons like Warfarin and Kruciel, who had overcome their vampire addiction, found it difficult to control themselves. Kruciel, having had several encounters with Koya, had gradually become unable to suppress her inner desire. Kruciel's mind raced, and she came up with a way to satisfy her hunger. If Koya became her husband, wouldn't he be her mobile blood bag?

Before meeting Koya, this was just an idea, but after seeing Koya and feeling the increasingly charming fragrance in his body, Kluchil immediately turned the idea into action.

"Kuluciel?"

"Meow meow~~ Oh, there's no work for Koya today, you can go and take a rest. The Originium potion will be distributed tomorrow afternoon. Kal'tsit is really serious this time."

"I don't remember which room mine was."

"Hehe, that's why I'm waiting for you here. Then, let's get going, Koya! Listen carefully to my instructions!"

"Got it~"

Five minutes later, standing at the door of his dormitory, Koya looked at Klushier who was still hanging on him, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. Why didn't she come down yet?

"Ahem, aren't you going to invite me in to sit for a while?"

"It's quite late, don't you want to go back and rest?"

The speed of the aircraft was indeed regrettable. It was already around two in the morning, and except for the medical department which was still brightly lit, other places in Rhodes Island were very quiet. Everyone had gone to sleep.

"For the blood demon, night is the time to be active~~Alright, alright, let's go in, Koya."

"Really... we're going to go back after just a cup of tea. It's actually quite tiring to be on a flying machine all day. The humming of the propellers and that cramped space... I really shouldn't be on one from now on."

"Hahaha, looks like he's suffered."

Keya's dorm was exceptionally clean, specifically clean with nothing but a bed inside. But then again, Keya hadn't slept there much since being assigned there.

"Didn't you say you wanted to buy me a cup of tea? Looking at the state of your dorm, you probably can't even bring me a glass of water~"

"Don't underestimate my supply reserves!"

Keya hummed twice, then took out a table and two chairs from his personal storage, followed by boiled black tea and a set of tea sets... To be honest, Keya didn't remember when he had stuffed these things into the storage, and he was actually quite surprised that he could take them out.

"Hmm, there's actually tea. That's perfect! These are the chocolate biscuits I secretly bought. Don't tell Kal'tsit about them, they're very expensive."

"it is good."

At two o'clock in the morning, Koya and Krosil had "afternoon tea" in the room. The mild aroma of black tea matched the special sweetness of chocolate very well. Koya couldn't help but eat two more cookies. For some reason, the chocolate biscuits that Krosil took out were very different from the ones Koya collected in other worlds and had a special taste.

As Kruciel watched Koya devour more and more cookies, a foxy smile gradually spread across her face. This box of chocolate cookies was actually ordered from her by an operator from Rhodes Island. These chocolate cookies were mixed with some special ingredients. Because the client was a Vaifan, the concentration of these ingredients in this box of cookies was over twenty times higher than usual. Although Koya was very strong, after eating so many, he would definitely have some reaction, right?

Then twenty minutes passed, and Keya's face remained normal. Thirty minutes passed, and the chocolate biscuits were almost finished. Forty minutes passed, and Keya yawned out of boredom.

"But Lucille, aren't you going back yet?"

"..."

Klucie silently gathered the chocolate cookie crumbs from the box and ate them in one gulp.

"Krosier?! You like chocolate chip cookies, I still have some here. It's really not that serious!"

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense! Take it off for me!"

"what?"

·Dividing line·

Doctor Xiosta got up from her bed and went to the bathroom. She glanced at the bed next to her before going back to sleep. She had expected to see her beloved's lovely sleeping face, but there was no one there. Then she remembered that Koya had already returned to Rhodes Island.

The doctor suddenly wanted to see if Koya had arrived in Rhodes Island and was asleep. So she opened the live broadcast room -

"..."

The doctor fell silent, her sleepiness suddenly vanishing, replaced by a strong murderous intent and regret.

"Klosher!!"

In the live broadcast room, a little blood demon was stripping itself naked with a seductive look on its face, and then jumped onto the man. The doctor didn't dare to watch what happened afterwards. With her understanding of Koya, she knew very well that Koya would not let go of the meat that was delivered to his door, so if nothing unexpected happened, it would be impolite to watch what happened next.

Chapter 236: Arknights: Rhodes Island

The next day, Krusil buried her head in Koya's neck, truly enjoying her breakfast. However, Koya's blood was simply too much. Just one drop of blood made her feel as full as if she had eaten several bowls of rice. Krusil felt that if she greedily took a second drop, she might die of the stuffing. Krusil also discovered that the satisfaction brought by Koya's blood had actually completely eliminated her blood-sucking instinct...

You have to know that the blood demon's desire for blood is instinctive. People like Kor'sil and Warfarin only rely on strong willpower to suppress this impulse, but if they see blood, they will still have the desire to suck blood. But after tasting Koya's blood, Kor'sil found that her blood-sucking desire actually disappeared directly. This can be called a miracle. However, when she thought about Koya's horn and even the effect of curing Originium disease, she felt normal. After all, this is Koya~~

Koluchil couldn't help but open her mouth and bite Koya's neck twice, but with her strength, it was impossible to break Koya's skin defense. She could only taste her breakfast because Koya cut a cut on her index finger with his fingernail.

"Klossil, it's time to get up."

"Good~"

Korciel confidently put on her clothes in front of Koya. As a Sarkaz, her boldness in love and hate was innate. Furthermore, despite her petite appearance, Korciel was one of the original Rhodes Island members after the fall of Babel. While not as old as Warfarin and Kal'tsit, she was definitely not young. Once she'd set her sights on someone, Korciel's ability to act was formidable.

"Koya, go have breakfast."

"it is good."

After putting on her clothes, Korciel jumped onto Koya again. On the way to the restaurant, Koya and Korciel's interaction was seen by many operators. They were all surprised that this famous Rhodes Island profiteer would actually find a man, but faced with this situation, most of the operators smiled and offered their blessings.

Since the kitchen chefs Gumi and Jiaofeng are still on vacation in Xiosta, today's breakfast tastes rather bland. However, as long as the operators of Rhodes Island do not eat Furong's special nutritious meals, they can accept it.

"Speaking of which, Koya, how were you guys having fun in Xiosta? Did you have fun?"

"The beach in Xiosta is nice, and the Obsidian Music Festival is lively. Although there were some minor incidents during the festival, it was generally good."

"Uh-huh."

After breakfast, Kal's wife, despite her reluctance, had to temporarily part ways with Koya. As an engineer for Rhodes Island, she was needed to maintain the network environment for Kal'tsit's Originium Potion launch. It was quite amazing... cell phone signals couldn't even reach a single mobile city, but computer network signals could reach every corner of the continent. It was quite amazing.

After the press conference ended, Koya's main mission here was complete. His next task was to serve as Rhodes Island's mascot. Incidentally, Koya didn't need to appear at this press conference. With nothing else to do, Koya decided to go find an old friend. On the lowest floor of Rhodes Island, in a corner of a warehouse filled with miscellaneous items, in a clean and tidy room, Koya met his 'old friend'.

"Tallulah, long time no see, how are you feeling lately?"

"Lord Koya, long time no see. Lately... things have been pretty good, haven't they?"

Because the black snake disappeared, Talulah was not actually imprisoned. The room prepared for her was not locked, and no one was prohibited from visiting. The reason why her room was arranged here was actually a kind of protection. After all, the reputation of the Integration Movement was indeed not good. If Talulah, as the leader of the Integration Movement, appeared in front of the public, she would most likely be jointly prosecuted and tried by multiple countries.

"Have you met Patriot, Yelena and the others recently?"

"Well, Froststar and Kingslayer both came to see me, but Mr. Patriot never came. Perhaps I disappointed him."

"After being here for so long, any ideas?"

"No... Honestly, I'm a little confused. I already know about the Originium potion. If Originopathy can be cured, then what's the point of the Reunion Movement existing..."

"Hmm. I think these books might be useful to you. Amiya has also been studying their contents recently. Talulah, the oppression won't disappear. The Originium disease will disappear, but the pressure on the patients won't disappear. Read these books more in the next few days, and talk more with Amiya and the little girl named Mari. Maybe you can find what you want to do. By the way, Victoria is in a mess right now."

"I always feel like you're hinting at something."

"Ahem, an illusion."

Koya and Tallulah chatted for a long time. After the black snake was exorcised, Tallulah became much quieter and more composed, but Koya knew that Tallulah was still the same Tallulah. Just give her a little fuel and she'd still burn brightly. The books Koya had given her might just be the spark that ignited her flame. The world of Terra was indeed in chaos, but the direction of chaos was one the Doctor disliked. The current Terra wasn't enough to withstand the dangers of the future, so the Doctor decided that since it was already so chaotic, it might as well get even more chaotic. Rebuilding the Iron Regime from the ruins might just be the right move.

Yes, these are the books that the Doctor asked Koya to bring to Tallulah, and there is another set besides them.

"This, is it for me?"

Koya nodded, looking at the towering figure before him with a touch of curiosity. The warrior's name was no longer important, but his codename was indeed the sole guiding light of the Reunion Movement—Patriot. As the last pure-blooded Wendigo, he should have inherited the throne of the Royal Court, but he showed no interest in it. Patriot's life was filled with glory and sacrifice, and the Doctor spoke of him with immense reverence. Although Koya had never directly clashed with Patriot, he still held the warrior in great respect.

"Yes, perhaps you are a little confused about your future. Perhaps the path Rhodes Island is currently taking is not what you imagined. This book may contain something you hope for. If you have any ideas after reading it, you can go talk to Tallulah. Well, Mr. Patriot, I'm leaving now."

"Walk slowly..."

The Patriot looked at the books in his hands with some confusion. Just as Koya said, after the Originium disease was cured, the Patriot's body felt more relaxed than ever before, and life in Chernobog also made his mind relax. Yelena was also cured of the Originium disease and became a member of Amiya's team in Rhodes Island. Everything seemed to be developing in the direction he hoped for.

It’s just that the patriot always feels that something is missing in his life. The previous life of blood and steel made him extremely bored, but now he finds that he seems to yearn for the feeling of struggle from the bottom of his heart.

"Will these books contain the answers I want to know..."

After finishing his work on the Patriot, Koya went straight to Gantry. The parking locations of Rhodes Island and Chernobog were not far from Gantry. This time, Koya did not take an aircraft or drive a motorcycle, but stood on the deck of Rhodes Island and flew into the sky.

“…Why does it feel like so many things are recorded on this day?”

This trip to Lungmen was to attend the banquet on behalf of Kal'tsit. Lungmen Governor Wei Yanwu invited Doctor, Amiya and Kal'tsit to go to Lungmen to attend the dinner today through email, but it happened that the three of them were busy. Doctor and Amiya were still in Xiosta, and Kal'tsit was busy with the press conference. This email was only sent this morning. I think Wei Yanwu has already learned about the current situation of Rhodes Island from Shi Huaiya and others.

The email said that Wei Yanwu intended to include Originium potions in Longmen's medical insurance drugs, which forced Kal'tsit to accept the invitation. According to Kal'tsit, this email said it was an invitation to them, but it was actually aimed at Koya from the beginning.

It's just that Wei Yanwu's identity in Dayan is a bit awkward. If he openly invites Keya to Longmen, then who knows what his brother sitting on the throne will think about... This time Wei Yanwu's invitation is actually just a family dinner. His idea is also very simple, thank Keya.

Whether it was Qiecheng, Tallulah, or Black Snake, what Koya did was to resolve a knot in Wei Yanwu's heart from his youth. If Koya had not gone back immediately after the incident last time, Wei Yanwu's invitation letter would have been sent long ago.

Out of courtesy and to prevent panic among the general public, Keya landed not far from Longmen and then rode his motorcycle towards the checkpoint. Wei Yanwu naturally told certain people about Keya's arrival at Longmen. When Keya arrived at the checkpoint, he saw a cute little tiger waiting for him by a luxury car.

"Koya~~Here here~"

"Shi Huaiya, why did you come to pick me up in person?"

"Hehe~ Because I wanted to see you sooner."

When they were in Xiosta, the misunderstanding between Keya and Shi Huaiya had been completely resolved. Now Keya's relationship with Shi Huaiya... should be considered good friends, real good friends.

"Shi Huaiya, have you been waiting here for a long time?"

"It's not that bad actually. Come to think of it, you came really quickly."

Keya sat in the passenger seat of the luxury car again. This car was the one Shi Huaiya had taken him to the snack street for a midnight snack. As soon as he saw the car, Keya could faintly smell the scent of snail noodles.

"Would you like some snail noodles first? You won't be able to eat too much at a banquet, so it's best to eat until you're 50% full before going."

Well, there really is snail rice noodle. I really don't know why Shi Huaiya likes to eat such smelly food! Keya, who has no idea what motion sickness is, felt a little motion sick after being influenced by the smell of snail rice noodle.

The half-hour drive felt like a century to Keya. When he got out of the car, he felt like he was reborn. Keya quickly washed away the smell on his body with wind and fire, and also gave Shi Huaiya a cleaning package. Eating snail noodles in the car... No normal person would do such a thing!
