Chapter 153: Kal'tsit: Son, what do you think of my daughter? (Second update)
"Ursus... I never thought that one day we would actually be able to sit down and discuss tactics and plans to defeat Ursus."
At this time, the only people present were Kal'tsit, the Doctor, and Chen Qi. The three of them moved the conversation to a more private place in Rhodes Island - Kal'tsit's personal room.
Kal'tsit's personal room. There are no more than three people in Rhodes Island who have the authority to enter here. Amiya is one of them. In the past, the Doctor was also one of them, but now the Doctor has lost his memory. This is the first time the Doctor has come to Kal'tsit's personal room.
Chen Qi is the fourth person who has the authority to enter Kal'tsit's room. Apart from her, there is only a princess who has left long ago. No one else has the opportunity to step in here.
The reason why Amiya was not called this time was that, on the one hand, Kal'tsit did not intend to let Amiya join this operation. She still needed to lead Rhodes Island. It was Amiya's own initiative to join Noah's team this time. Kal'tsit herself did not approve of Amiya going to too dangerous places.
Amiya does need training, but training is a step-by-step process. Her current overall quality is not suitable for Noah's team.
"...I once did scientific research in the Ursus Empire for a period of time. I have a very deep understanding of that place."
Kal'tsit lightly revealed a secret that neither Chen Qi nor the Doctor knew. She ignored their slightly surprised expressions and said calmly:
"I once had a place in the Ursus Empire... If it weren't for Ursus's tyranny against the infected, I might have chosen to stay in Ursus for the rest of my life."
"... Of course, there are many reasons for this, Your Majesty. I saw through some things and chose to join the 'Rhodes Island' which had just been dug out not long ago."
As she said this, Kal'tsit couldn't help but look at the doctor beside her. After a moment of silence, she said to the doctor indifferently:
"You and I were both among the earliest elders of Rhodes Island. Although you look very young now, you are very old, just like me."
"...I have roughly guessed this, and you don't look old, do you?" The Doctor said lightly after a moment of silence. He glanced at Kal'tsit in front of him, but couldn't help feeling a little toothache.
Old? The Doctor did learn something from Warfarin and the others. Although Kal'tsit couldn't tell, she was already quite old. As an immortal, she might not be younger than Warfarin, at least 200 years old.
However... the reality is very embarrassing. There is no trace of time on Kal'tsit's face. Even though she has been taking sedatives and stimulants for many years, her skin is still so smooth and white, and her face is pretty without a trace of wrinkles. Of course, this may be the doctor's illusion. After all, he didn't dare to get close to observe Kal'tsit's face.
But... the doctor did not have this sense of reality. Although he had lost his memory and did not know what species he was, he knew that he did not have beastly ears and tail, and there was not even any trace of Originium on his body. His infection level was 0%, which was almost impossible for Terra.
All these events made the doctor very curious about his past. What kind of person was he? Why were many employees of Rhodes Island so reluctant to talk to him about the past?
The Doctor was guessing about all these things, but it seemed that he could only find a hint of the answer from Kal'tsit.
“…It just looks like that.”
Kal'tsit was slightly stunned, then calmed down and continued, "Now is not the time to talk about my age. I just want to tell you that the inside of Ursus is more complicated than you think."
"After the death of the previous king, Ursus was in complete chaos. Makolov... I have an old relationship with him. I know this guy. He is a complete racist lunatic."
"But I have to admit that Makolov and his like-minded subordinates have made great contributions to the Ursus Empire's current status."
"Each of them is an expert on the battlefield. I think, Chen Qi, you should know this better than me."
"...I have a long-standing friendship with the Ursus Empire. I often fight them head-on."
Chen Qi smiled slightly upon hearing this, as if he remembered the battle with Ursus. After shaking his head for a while, he said calmly:
"I have to say that the Ursus army is really persistent in fighting. They have been repelled time and time again, but they still launch attacks again and again."
"And what's interesting is that Ursus disdains to use such petty tricks as assassination, and always wants to defeat the opponent in a frontal battle - even my Noah team has assassinated their commander countless times."
"...I must admit that this is the stubborn thinking of those Ursus officers. I have never attended classes at the Ursus military academy, so I have no opinion on their persistence."
After a slight pause, Kal'tsit didn't say much. After all, strictly speaking, she had no feelings for Ursus. Even if she did, after witnessing so many infected people being suppressed by Ursus, those feelings would have long since disappeared.
"So that means you have a way to resist the attack of the Ursus army?"
"…Maybe not in the past, but if there are enough resources now, I dare say that the rumor that Ursus will win the frontal battle this time will be broken."
Chen Qi also smiled slightly when he heard this. Facing Kal'tsit and the Doctor's somewhat confused looks, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said with a faint smile:
"I will release a few blueprints in Rhodes Island later. All I need is Kuluciel and a few other professionals who understand mechanics to manufacture them according to the blueprints I give them. I think it should not be a problem to at least stop Ursus' attack."
"——By the way, I will discuss with Tallulah of the Reunion Movement later. We at Rhodes Island may need to dock inside Chernobog."
"...Chernobog?" X2
However, Chen Qi's words made Kal'tsit and the Doctor more and more confused. The Doctor had no choice because his amnesia had not been restored, and Kal'tsit did not get too involved in the development back then. This could be seen from the fact that Rhodes Island was still dirt poor even after she had been in power for so many years.
There are few people in the entire Rhodes Island who understand business and development capabilities, but Lucille only knows how to cheat internal employees. As for development, it probably depends on Chen Qi.
Chen Qi said, when you talk about "farming", I am no longer sleepy.
The thing that Chen Qi is most proud of in his life is that he has been constantly developing the future of Rhodes Island through struggle. Under his mind, Rhodes Island gradually began to expand into today's Rhodes City, becoming a mobile city that is as big as Lungmen. This is proof of Chen Qi's lifelong struggle.
Back then, when Rhodes Island was facing numerous difficulties and was in a state of paralysis, Chen Qi still knew how to expand his power. But now, with Chernobyl, an almost natural mobile city foundation, Chen Qi has really saved a lot of effort.
Today, Rhodes Island has the joint support from the Victorian royal family as well as Lungmen, Shelag, Xiosta and other forces. They now finally have enough capital to start expanding their power.
Rhodes Island needs independence and also needs allies, but the prerequisite for allies is equality. Rhodes Island is not even qualified to be on an equal footing with Lungmen because they are too small.
——But if Chernobyl is added, then everything will be different.
A truly self-sufficient force, with Chernobyl, who would dare to look down on Rhodes Island in the future?
"…I am not good at this matter, so I will not interfere too much, but you must let us know your actions."
"You can slowly formulate your plan for Ursus. Right now, our main concern is the development of Rhodes Island."
After thinking carefully, Kal'tsit did not stop Chen Qi's action. However, she suddenly changed the subject the next moment and said to Chen Qi:
"Oh, there is something I want to ask now."
"——Chen Qi, what do you think of Amiya?"

PS: This is the second update today, so I owe 6 chapters in total!
Chapter 154: Have you ever considered marrying your sister?
"…Sister Amiya?"
Chen Qi was really surprised by the sudden turn of the topic. However, looking at Kal'tsit's serious but not at all unserious expression, Chen Qi seemed to feel that this might really be a very important matter.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't know how to answer Kal'tsit's question at this moment.
How do you view Amiya? This is indeed a question worth pondering for Chen Qi.
To Chen Qi, Amiya is a very important person to him. She was the first person to tell him his identity when he returned to Rhodes Island. She is the senior who supported him all the way to the highest command of Rhodes Island. She is also the sister who always supervises and supports him behind him.
Although, as a leader, Amiya did not do well in management and development, and she was not even proficient in politics and diplomacy.
However, before Chen Qi came to power, it was Amiya who had been maintaining the half-collapsed Rhodes Island with trepidation, allowing Rhodes Island to survive the most difficult period after the loss of Kal'tsit and the Doctor, and preventing Rhodes Island from being leaderless.
If Chen Qi was the one who brought Rhodes Island back to life and even developed it to a level that was unimaginable at the time, then Amiya was the most noble person who could always watch over this hope during the most difficult period.
Chen Qi respects Amiya very much, and also loves his sister in a sense. Both of them are [Chimera], both are from the same hand, and have similar Originium skills. Amiya and Chen Qi are, in a sense, the two closest people.
——But all this was done by Sister Amiya from Chen Qi’s side.
It was obvious that Kal'tsit was asking about the little Amiya, who was only 14 years old and had recently become the new leader of Rhodes Island.
But...what is Chen Qi's current perception of this former sister Amiya?
"…Amiya, although she is still very young, she already has a willpower and faith beyond that of an ordinary person."
"I can sense that she firmly believes in her own beliefs and that the future of Rhodes Island is definitely not wrong. Therefore, no matter how painful or sad the future is, she will never doubt that the path she is taking is wrong."
"...Of course, this premise is that she can really accept this fact after being shocked again and again."
"…When you 'died', Amiya was the saddest person."
After a moment of silence, Kal'tsit took over Chen Qi's words, facing Chen Qi's slightly absent-minded eyes, and said lightly:
"I've never seen her so sad and distracted. She held the Chixiao sword that she brought back from Londinium and didn't leave her room for a whole day. When I thought things were out of control, I realized that she had somehow gotten over her sadness."
"Then, I noticed her changes - no, I should say 'transformation'."
Kal'tsit will never forget the moment when Amiya walked out of the room that day. The negative emotions mixed with anger and grief that were almost uncontrollable in her body were almost all condensed on her pitch-black arm that had become one with Shadow Sky, emitting an uncomfortable smell.
At that moment, Kal'tsit knew that Amiya's restrictions had finally begun to collapse. No matter how she organized, she could not resist such a torrent...
"...I think you should know about Amiya."
"..."
Faced with Kal'tsit's question, Chen Qi did not answer immediately. However, his tacit agreement proved that he knew what was behind Amiya.
However, among the group, only the Doctor was confused. He looked around at Chen Qi and Kal'tsit who were silent at the moment, and felt like an outsider.
Didn't we agree to discuss Ursus together? Why are you suddenly talking about Amiya? What happened to Amiya?
"I say...how many things have you hidden from me?"
"...I will tell you about this matter in detail later, Doctor." Kal'tsit slowly raised her head and said to the Doctor: "You have the right to know this matter, and you also have the qualifications to know your own worries."
"Although I still have a lot of distrust in you, if you are still who you are now, then I will trust your character."
"...I'm flattered." After a moment of silence, the doctor replied indifferently.
"Then let's get back to the topic." Kal'tsit looked at Chen Qi again and continued to ask: "You haven't answered me yet, what do you think of Amiya."
"Don't worry about my feelings. Amiya is not here. Just speak frankly."
"...To be honest, I really like Amiya, whether it was the Amiya sister I knew back then or the 14-year-old Amiya now."
After thinking for a while, Chen Qi didn't think about it anymore and said bluntly: "I have a good impression of Amiya. Looking at her like this, I seem to understand why she can support Rhodes Island until the day I grow up."
"I admire her and respect her very much... but not now, of course."
"——So, you don't think of Amiya as the one you will meet in the future?"
"They are completely different." Chen Qi said bluntly: "I think she may become something completely different from the future."
"I hope I can lighten her burden a little bit so that she doesn't have to live such a tiring and difficult life like she did later."
"…I am very touched that you have such a thought."
However, after hearing what Chen Qi said, a rare faint smile appeared on Kal'tsit's face. It was a smile of relief. For Kal'tsit, such an answer was more touching to her than a vow of love.
And this was the answer she wanted to hear.
At this moment, after hearing Chen Qi's reply, Kal'tsit took a deep breath and suppressed the trembling in her heart. Finally, she showed her true "fangs".
"——So, have you ever considered marrying Amiya?"
"boom!"
However, as soon as Kal'tsit said this, a shattering sound suddenly echoed outside the door, causing the three people in Kal'tsit's room to tremble almost at the same time, and their hearts suddenly sank.
After a strange silence, Kal'tsit slowly walked out of her room. After looking around outside for a while, she saw a group of broken teacups not far from her room, and the black tea that was spilled all over the floor, still emitting a faint heat and fragrance.
There was no need for any imagination. Based on Kal'tsit's understanding of the other party, she could guess the embarrassed figure who was running away in a panic and unable to hide his shame at that moment just now.
“…It’s really terrible.”
Kal'tsit slowly returned to the room while murmuring. It was obvious that she seemed to have anticipated what kind of trouble might happen next.
Chapter 155: Recalling the crisis, Chen Qi's "life and death"
"Just now... it seemed like Amiya ran over. She probably came to bring me some tea."
Kal'tsit sat down on her bed, holding her head with a headache on her face. The scene she just saw was really unexpected for her, but it was useless to regret it now. She could only say with a slight complaint:
"It's troublesome...Amiya doesn't know much about her own affairs...Although I know the truth, I didn't tell her. Now she..."
"——Don't worry, I don't think she heard us discussing her abilities when she came."
However, just when Kal'tsit was having a headache, the words of Chen Qi on the side made her and the Doctor pause slightly, and they subconsciously looked at Chen Qi.
That’s right… Chen Qi’s [Emotional Infection] can sense the approach of people who are connected to each other, so Amiya’s arrival cannot fool him.
"You...have sensed Amiya's arrival a long time ago?"
"...Indeed, that's why I kept my mouth shut and didn't say anything about Amiya, right?" Chen Qi shrugged helplessly, looked at Kal'tsit with a bitter smile and said:
"But I still didn't expect you to be so shocking... Now the relationship between Amiya and I is awkward."
"…These are all trivial matters. The most important thing is that no one hears it."
After hearing what Chen Qi said, Kal'tsit was obviously relieved, and then she couldn't help but smile and said, "It's better to say that this is a scene I really want to see."
