I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

I don't want to be looking after a drunkard. Who knows what I'll be dragged into doing?

"Then you'll have to take care of Ayu."

"Ah Yu has the old man looking after him. Good! I will definitely take good care of Ah Yu!"

Stared at by both of them, Nian immediately backed down, saying that she wouldn't go anywhere and would stay home to take care of the children.

"Let's get started. Let's celebrate your sister's birthday."

The decision was made during the day, and the group began to act.

……

A few hours later, the great poet, who was known for his inability to drink a thousand cups of wine, was inspired and used his tail to dip in ink, painting the dragon's entire body. After writing a dozen or so righteous characters, he fell into the dragon's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Never stop going back to the 26th!

“I must make this clear, Mr. Patriot. We need to head south.”

With a resolute expression, Draco emphasized his point of view in an unquestionable tone.

"The limited resources on the ice sheet cannot support the ever-growing organization."

"We won't be able to survive the next winter with just the annual harvest of moss. The animals that live on the ice sheet can't keep up with the number of people hunting them."

“But we cannot go south, Talulah.”

Wendigo, sitting by the campfire, resembles a dark mountain, shielding it from the blazing flames.

"The Empire's legions, those mobile cities, are an insurmountable barrier for us."

Bozokastie wouldn't forget the terror of the Empire because of a moment of good fortune. Even now, Ursus is beset by internal and external troubles, which are beyond the capabilities of their small group, which isn't even a proper organization.

“I know, Mr. Patriot.”

Talulah was sketching on the ground with a twig in her hand.

"We cannot simply walk into the boundary like a bird walking into a trap, right in front of the mobile city and the legion."

“We just need to take a slightly off-the-beaten-path route... cross the forest valley, bypass the glacier, and head southwest of Ursus.”

"And what guarantees that those scouts will ignore the large influx of armed infected people heading south?"

When this was mentioned, Talulah finally regained her confidence.

“Mr. Patriot, Yelena.”

She stood up and vividly recounted the strange changes and entanglements in the upper echelons of Ursus to the two of them.

"Talulah, you mean... as long as we spread out and pass through in groups, they'll pretend they can't see us? If you're wrong, won't we suffer heavy losses?"

The white rabbit was somewhat skeptical. Over the years, she hadn't seen much else, but she'd seen plenty of those utterly immoral black insects. They were all black insects; were the ones from the south necessarily better than those from the north?

"Has the situation...become so chaotic?"

More than his daughter, Bozokasti saw the chaos of Ursus.

Because of factional rivalry, they might even do outrageous things like sending prisoners to sabotage each other's territories.

The late emperor would really be so angry that he would come back to life.

"The main reason is that the current controllers of the Fourth Group intend to side with the reformists of the new emperor. In order to gain the emperor's attention, they are willing to make some overtures to win fame."

"They're just some harmless Ursus civilians, plus a little friendly assistance; I'm sure they won't mind if we get through."

"...And what about us? Guerrillas are not harmless civilians."

Yelena wasn't stupid; she knew that Talulah wanted the infected to disguise themselves as ordinary people and then bribe the black bugs with some Ursus general-purpose supplies.

We mustn't forget that the equipment worn by the guerrillas and the armed infected brought by Talulah is not something civilians can possess.

"Ha... I have an idea about this."

Talulah sighed and took a badge out of her pocket.

"This is?"

The white rabbit was puzzled.

"The Duke's coat of arms."

Draco and Wendigo spoke at the same time.

"The Duke? You?"

Seeing Yelena's confusion, Talulah explained the origin of the badge to her.

"Talulah, have you been cursed by him?"

Upon hearing the black snake's words of "blessing," Yelena looked at her with worry in her eyes.

"It's alright for now. It won't be a problem in the future either."

Putting everything else aside, Talulah is quite confident in her mindset.

"The immortal black serpent... I've heard of him."

Wendigo stared at Draco in front of him.

"Immortality is a stubborn disease. The curses they set are difficult to detect, and the cursed person will not know when the curse will take effect. By the time they realize that the curse has taken effect, it is already too late to turn back."

Born in Kazdel, he was naturally familiar with the abilities of these immortal beings.

“You are perfectly entitled to seek help from your elders. It is not shameful for younger people to seek experience and help from their elders.”

He had high hopes for this young Draco. Just as Yelena had said, her fire was indeed pure and blazing, and he didn't want it to go out or be used by evil people to commit irreparable disasters.

“Talulah…”

"..."

Talulah stared at the fire in front of her in silence for a while.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Patriot, Yelena."

Young Draco clenched his fist.

"But if I can't even defeat or kill this scoundrel who only hides in the shadows indulging in unrealistic daydreams and plotting underhanded tricks, what right do I have to move forward? What face do I have to continue to promote my ideals and help the infected people on this land?"

not to mention……

If she can't even do this, then why should she accept the old man's promotion?

"...As long as you don't regret it."

Wendigo didn't say anything more.

Since the other party has chosen to resolve the issue themselves, all he can do is offer his support.

"..."

Wendigo closed his eyes, the warmth and light of the flames imprinted in his mind.

I could hear the girls whispering around me.

The cold night wind, carrying fine snow, surged in and finally crashed against the majestic, unyielding mountains, disappearing without a trace.

……

[Is it confirmed, Xi? There are only four slots left for those who wish to sign their names, and each one is extremely precious.]

"If that's the case, then there's no need to be stingy."

During the day, he carefully played with the small Draco doll in his hands, showing no sign of tenderness in his words.

"Moreover, I believe they are capable of taking on this role."

I thought you were handing this position to her. I never imagined it would be those sisters.

The system indicated that it still couldn't understand people's hearts.

“Kal'tsit has her own duties… If she is unwilling, how can I force her to abandon her mission?”

Compared to the lynx, Bai Zhou felt that the "Doctor" was more willing to take on the role. But would this guy really fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to him by the designated person?

The idea of ​​having the Chen sisters share one seat was inspired by the daytime... when they were 20 years old.

Because of their age, Xi and the others can share a single named position. The specific reason... is probably that, according to the rules, the avatar fragments and the original body can be considered the same.

When he learned that he could play like this, Bai Zhou had the idea of ​​creating a twin named Gemini.

If twelve signatories can succeed, there's no reason why two signatories can't.

If that black snake isn't eliminated, it might eventually become a three-way conflict.

The system, which had been observing, also knew what had happened to Talulah.

"The final outcome depends on the fate of that black snake."

After his recent conversation with the Demon King, Bai Zhou has decided on his plan and has become much more tolerant of other beings.

If that black snake is eventually eliminated by Talulah, that's a good thing; it won't cause any more trouble. If it obediently waits until Talulah is promoted, then it's lucky, and it can wait to be assimilated. If it can't resist causing trouble, then it's no wonder that Daylight bullies the weak and drags it out to be crushed to ashes.

But neither the Year nor the Black Serpent caused him as much trouble as the first named person in the daytime.

Seemingly sensing that his emotions were somewhat unstable, the system quietly put away the data.

[First named individual data (updated): Savior o White Night (incubating)]

Can the Twenty-Seven Sea Heirs and the Hunters coexist peacefully?

"?~!"

As the last melody faded, the singer in red let out a long breath, finally releasing the tension.

"Fantastic! As expected of Zhuoxin. This album is sure to be a huge hit. It would be even better if it could surpass the previous song 'Riding the Waves'."

As the singer's manager, the Yan Kingdom Agor woman, who called herself "Youyi," clapped and praised him with a smile.

"I hope so."

Compared to the excited crowd in the music room, the singer's mood remained largely unchanged, as if the success of her album would not affect her.

However, a closer look reveals that the dazed girl slumped in the soft chair is already in the most comfortable state.
