People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

When he stepped onto the hull of Rhodes Island, even Vadim, the Count of Ursus, was surprised.

Coming from a military background, he quickly realized the strategic significance of the massive land ship, the Rhodes Island. The ship was 600 meters long, nearly 200 meters high, and some parts had clearly been modified to remove weapons, meaning that this massive land ship could have been equipped with weapons in the past.

"Count Rostov, welcome to Rhodes Island."

After getting off the car, Amiya smiled and looked at Vadim, who had not yet recovered from his surprise. The little rabbit was filled with pride that he was surprised by Rhodes Island.

"Cough cough."

Vadim coughed twice to ease his embarrassment slightly, while constantly scolding himself in his heart.

Vadim, oh Vadim, you're an Imperial Count after all, how can you behave so poorly? It's just a large land ship, isn't it? You've seen the might of the Ursus Empire's great armies, and the steel torrents of warships. You can't lose face here!

What? You're saying the Ursus Army was wiped out by Reunion? Ahem, isn't that just Gorodovikov's incompetence? How can you blame the Army? Hmm.

After muttering a few words of "The Emperor is above" in his mind, Vadim composed himself and prepared to take a good look at what Rhodes Island was like, where the man who made his daughter think about him day and night was.

He just didn't believe it. He even wanted his daughter to come to Rhodes Island to work? What are your conditions? What are my conditions? Can your job be as good as the one I arranged for my precious daughter? Ridiculous.

And so, with this in mind, Vadim landed on Rhodes Island.

Chapter 319: Demons Dance in Rhodes Island

Vadim entered Rhodes Island with high spirits.

Then, at the entrance of Rhodes Island No. 3, Vadim stood there like a fool, completely unmoved even though Galina was pushing him from behind.

"Count? My Count, what's the matter with you?"

Galina patted Vadim's head, and the latter came back to his senses. He then glared at Galina, thinking that patting his head in public would lower his dignity as a count. However, he took a deep breath and signaled his wife with his eyes to look forward.

"What's wrong? Isn't that just a beautiful girl...you!"

Galina looked in the direction Vadim pointed, but she didn't see anyone or anything eye-catching there. There was just a woman named Filin chatting with her friends there, and judging by her attire, she seemed to be going out.

However, Galina looked at her husband viciously halfway through her words. Although he has restrained himself a lot now, as an Ursus noble, Vadim had also been absurd when he was young. As his legal wife, Galina has a say in this matter.

Seeing that his wife had obviously misunderstood him, in order to avoid a family scandal in public, Vadim immediately calmed down the Ursus bear who wanted to roar and whispered to her.

"Don't get me wrong. You can't bring old things from your youth into the present. I'm saying you should pay attention to the girl's race."

"Race? What race? Isn't that Filin? Uh, okay, I admit that this girl is a little special. I feel that her temperament is very unusual."

But what was so special about her? Galina couldn't put her finger on it, but she could find something similar. She had once been to St. Petersburg and met the nobles there. The temperament of those noble ladies was very similar to that of the girl in front of her.

Hiss, could this girl also be a noble? But there don't seem to be any nobles in Ursus. Could it be Victoria?

Filin is a very common race on this land, but common races also have their own settlements. Victoria, the country with the most Filin on Terra, is basically a majority of its citizens, and the majority of the country's top leaders are also Filin.

If you meet a film girl with extraordinary temperament and feel that she may be the descendant of a noble family, then there is a high possibility that she is from Victoria.

"What? Philin, I told you to read more books, but you didn't. That's... that's Aslan."

Aslan!!

Galina's eyes widened for a moment. Although she was a countess, she only had some basic understanding of politics and usually did not participate in Vadim's political affairs. But even so, Galina was familiar with the information about the royal families or kings of various countries.

Galina naturally knew about the Aslan, the most special race on the land of Terra.

The rulers of Sargon, the oldest empire on this land, and the royal family of Victoria, the most powerful empire in Terra's core circle, are all Aslan.

But...but...

But that girl clearly looks just like a film? Or rather, she feels like a film.

This is not wrong at all. After all, the Aslan was originally an independent race divided for political reasons. In terms of physiological characteristics, there is absolutely no difference between the Aslan and the Filin. At most, their average physical fitness is slightly higher than that of the Filin.

So, how did Vadim recognize that the girl in front of him was Aslan and not Filin?

Vadim did not share this with his wife. He just looked in astonishment at the Aslan girl who seemed to have noticed his gaze, and then quickly looked away.

Not buddy!

Aren't you, Rhodes Island, just a pharmaceutical company? At most, you handle disputes with infected people, and you have some legally armed medical companies, right? At most, you have some special armed forces that shine in the various emergencies of Canaan City and Longmen, right? Actually, we understand all of this, but isn't it too much to keep Aslan on board?

That's Victoria's royal family. The previous king of Victoria had been dead for 24 years, and even today, the throne of the Victorian Empire remains vacant. Do you think the eight dukes besieged Londinium because of some bullshit Sarkaz take control of the so-called capital of Victoria? Bullshit! They were just waiting for one of their colleagues to lose their patience and fire the first shot. Then, naturally, they could go to war for the sole throne!

But now, right before his eyes, there was a lion, a real lion, a lion that was Victoria's legal heir!

It is said that when people are surprised and shocked to a certain extent, they will start to fantasize. This is undoubtedly the case with Vadim now.

If he could convince Aslan in front of him to stand with him, if he could give Aslan in front of him... all the economic and military support he could get, so that he could return to Victoria and ascend the throne again, then the status he would get at that time would definitely be higher than the current earl.

No, no, no, not necessarily. Maybe the other party is not Victoria's lion, but Sargon's lion. But even if it is Sargon's lion, it's fine. Sargon's Aslan is at least a chieftain. The girl in front of him looks young and should not be a chieftain yet. A chieftain would not leave his own empire and come here to work in a pharmaceutical company. But even if it is the chieftain's daughter, if they get along well...

"Count Rostov? Are you feeling unwell?"

Amiya's gentle voice rang in Vadim's ears, waking him up from his fantasy. Then he was disappointed to find that, as if because he had just been noticed by the other party, the Aslan girl had disappeared from his sight, and he didn't know where she had gone.

What a pity! !

"Count Rostov?"

"Count, you are being addressed."

Galina felt a bit embarrassed. This guy had clearly said before coming home that he wanted to show this company called Rhodes Island a bit of a show, and let his daughter see his father's strength. And now he just showed them a show of strength like this? Didn't he see that Natalia next to him was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into the ground?

"I'm sorry, Miss Amiya and Fang Zhou. My father didn't get a good rest for some reason. I think he's a little tired, so he's a little dazed from time to time. I'm sorry."

Natalia, with a flushed face, looked at Fang Zhou and Amiya shyly, hoping that everything that had just happened would not leave any bad impression on them.

"It's all right, all right. But if Count Rostov is tired, I can prepare a guest room for you. Rhodes Island usually receives foreign guests in a room that only needs to be cleaned up briefly before it can be occupied. I just don't know if you, as the Count and his relatives, are accustomed to staying in the room."

"No, no, no, it's okay. Father actually wants to take a good look around Rhodes Island before resting. Otherwise, he would have brought it up just now. Don't you agree, Father?"

"Aslan, Aslan, Aslan..."

"Father!!"

puff!

"—!"

In a corner invisible to everyone, Natalia gently pinched Vadim's little finger. The clear pain immediately brought reason back to the heights of Vadim's consciousness, and he began to control this body again.

"Oh, I'm sorry, everyone. I'm sorry to have made you look so awkward. As my daughter said, I haven't had much rest recently due to all the busy schedules. But that won't stop me from visiting your company's beautiful land ship. Ms. Amiya and Mr. Ark, let's continue."

Vadim came back to his senses, straightened his appearance, pretended nothing happened, and spoke to Amiya and Fang Zhou with a smile.

However, everyone present noticed that something was wrong with Vadim, but since the Earl didn't say why, they just assumed that he really didn't get enough rest.

Tallulah and Ark watched Vadim's behavior, and they both noticed who the count was looking at at the time.

He discovered Vina's identity? He figured it out?

Both Ark and Tallulah found this incredible, because as mentioned earlier, there is basically no difference between Filin and Aslan in appearance. If you don't know that the other one is Aslan, you can't tell them apart at all.

"I hope there won't be any trouble."

Tallulah murmured to herself in the back, but then she thought that if the earl in front of her knew that her real race was Draco, she would probably go even crazier.

But wouldn’t it be easier for relations between Novochernobog and Canaan to improve by then?

Forget it, I'd better not use these little tricks. If the other party knows that I am Draco and wants to do something else, it will be difficult to back down.

Afterwards, the group took Vadim, Natalia and the others to visit Rhodes Island's medical department and the living area on the second floor. Even Vadim couldn't help but express his admiration for Rhodes Island's various infrastructures, and even said that if it were not limited by its size, Rhodes Island could be called a complete small city.

During this journey, the dozens of minutes of visits finally allowed Vadim's heart to calm down. Among them, the visit to the medical department also made the count and his wife respect and admire Rhodes Island, a pharmaceutical company. After all, throughout history, the attitude towards the infected on this land has only been discrimination and persecution. Rhodes Island may be the only organization on this land that can stand up openly, speak for the infected, provide medical services specifically for the infected, and travel back and forth on the land to defeat the mineral disease, the eternal enemy of the Terran human beings.

This also made Vadim waver in his previous thoughts about Natalia and her desire to work in Rhodes Island.

Rhodes Island had great ideals. If Natalia could grow up here, she would definitely become an outstanding person. Although she had never spoken to the Aslan girl before, if her daughter could stay here, as colleagues, the two would eventually cross paths. As long as her daughter paid a little attention and established a good relationship with the Aslan girl, even if she could not gain great benefits as she expected, making friends with a royal heir or the daughter of a chieftain would be a very good political resource for the Rostov family.

But Vadim still felt reluctant to let his beloved daughter leave him just for this and those political resources.

"This is the Rhodes Island restaurant. All the Rhodes Island crew members eat here. The restaurant is divided into two parts. One part is where you can order your food at the counter. This part is relatively cheap and good quality, but the corresponding meals are relatively fixed. There is also an area where you can order your own food. You can order what you want and have the chef prepare it specifically for you, but the corresponding cost is higher than the counter."

Arriving at the cafeteria area of ​​Rhodes Island, Vadim and Galina couldn't help but look sideways at the aroma of food that filled their faces.

It was already noon and time for lunch, but the food here smelled very ordinary and could not be compared with the high-quality ingredients and exquisite meals of the Rostov family.

However, as down-to-earth nobles, both Vadim and Galina were quite generous in terms of food. Moreover, it was not in line with aristocratic etiquette to be disgusted with the food of the invited host or even to speak rudely. As long as it was not too outrageous, Vadim could eat even moss rice.

"It's almost time. Would you like to eat first? We've already contacted the ship's chef and have prepared a special meal and dining area for you. It's right next to the mess hall."

Vadim nodded. Although he was not picky about food, it would be more gratifying if the host specially prepared better food that was more suitable for his status.

However, just as Vadim was about to say that it was indeed time for lunch, he suddenly saw a figure among the crowd in the Rhodes Island cafeteria, a figure that made him stand at attention.

"General!"

Vadim almost shouted, but the restaurant in Rhodes Island was already noisy, and even though his voice was loud, it only made some people around him look at the elegantly dressed Ursus. The person in the distance seemed not to hear Vadim's shouting, but just quickened his pace and left the cafeteria.

"Will……"

Vadim stretched out his hand to stop him, but the distance between them was too far, and the figure left too fast. When he stretched out his hand, he could no longer see the man's back.

There's no mistake, that's indeed... General Hellagur.

"Dad, have you seen anyone?"

Natalia stood beside her father and asked curiously.

"Natalia."

"Ok?"

When her name was suddenly called, Natalia looked at her father, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"I agree to your request to work in Rhodes Island."

"what?"

——————————————————————————————

Chapter 320 The Road Ahead

Rhodes Island is truly filled with talented people.

This was Vadim's most intuitive feeling about Rhodes Island after lunch.

Just as he was having his meal, he saw a delicate-looking, black-haired girl named Filin in the corridor. Although he might have mistaken her, as an Ursus noble, it was a very important course for him to get to know some of the prominent figures in this land and their relatives, so...

That should be the granddaughter of old Brinley from the Brinley family, right?

In addition, he met many heavyweights in Rhodes Island, which made him understand what it meant to be truly talented.

Seeing that this small land-based ship had so many talented people, Vadim no longer had the intention of stopping Natalia from staying here.

This is the foundation of a large network of relationships. If Natalia can get to know those people here, not to mention becoming brothers who will go through thick and thin with them, even if they can often have dinner together, they will think of Natalia's name when they have something to do. This will be a considerable investment for Natalia's future and even for the Rostov family.

Strictly speaking, this company is quite strong. The young leader mentioned earlier that Chief Justice Spafari had visited Rhodes Island not long ago and gave it high praise. If Ursus relaxes its policies regarding infected individuals in the future, Rhodes Island's experts will undoubtedly be the first people they consider in order to peacefully ease the conflict between the infected and ordinary people. So...

After visiting Rhodes Island, Vadim's mind has completely changed. He fully supports Natalia coming to work in Rhodes Island.

Although Natalia didn't understand her father's psychological transformation, she was already satisfied as long as she could stay in Rhodes Island.

While visiting Rhodes Island, she met Sonya, who had become a Rhodes Island Vanguard Operator, codenamed Winter. She also met Rosaline, who was also a Rhodes Island Guard Operator, codenamed Summer.

In Winter and Summer, Rosalyn and Sonya were still at odds with each other, but their relationship was still pretty good, except...

Natalia thought of Anna and Rada. She wondered how her two friends were doing now. Before coming to Rhodes Island, she had met with Anna and Rada and had mentioned whether they wanted to come with her, but...

Anna said that she did not want to take risks and wanted to focus on her studies. She wanted to get into a good high school and university and develop stably. As for Rada, Rada cared a lot about the opinions of her family. Rada's parents were relatively conservative and probably did not want their daughter to work in a company full of infected people, even if it was an invitation from the count's daughter.

Perhaps it was because of the invitation from the count's daughter that Rada's parents were even more reluctant to send their daughter here.

Natalia smiled self-deprecatingly, then followed her parents to Rhodes Island's Human Resources Department.

They have completed the quality test for Natalia.

The test results were very good. Although Natalia had not received too much combat training, as a noble who had received an elite education since childhood, Natalia almost got full marks in other aspects for her age. Finally, the Rhodes Island Human Resources Department judged that Miss Natalia was very suitable for logistics and personnel work, and recommended that she first intern in these two departments. After passing the internship period, a second test would be conducted, and the job assignment would be fully considered with Miss Natalia's personal wishes.

And now, they came to the Human Resources Department to sign the trainee operator contract.

"Then, just sign here, Ms. Natalia, and you'll be one of our trainee operators at Rhodes Island. As for your duties, according to your wishes, you'll be working in clerical areas."

Natalia hoped that her job would be more clerical, because she knew that Ark's position in Rhodes Island was not that simple. It seemed to be a position called strategic commander. This position sounded like it would require dealing with a large amount of paperwork on a daily basis, so according to common sense, there should be a secretary position. Then Natalia already understood the direction of her efforts.

Just like that, Natalia signed her name on the trainee operator contract neatly. Vadim tugged at his mustache happily after watching Natalia sign her name. He thought that Natalia's work on Rhodes Island would definitely allow her to build a deep political network. Whether it was the Brinley family in Columbia, the long-retired General Hellagur, or the mysterious Aslan girl, Natalia would definitely gain a lot.

Of course, the old father was thinking about his daughter's future, but his little daughter was only thinking about... ahem.

All in all, at least from now on, both Natalia and Count and Countess Rostov are quite satisfied with this sightseeing trip. I think after they return to Chernobog, if Rhodes Island wants to cooperate with the cities in Ursus, the chances of Chernobog opening its doors to them will be the greatest.

Later, the Rostovs declined the invitation to stay overnight in Rhodes Island. Although the couple was relatively open-minded among the Ursus nobles in terms of their attitude towards the infected, it was still a little unacceptable for them to stay overnight on a land ship where 70 to 80 percent of the crew members were infected.
