I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

Bai Yue clapped her hands, brushing away the seed debris, and chuckled, "I'm not good at drinking, and I'm even less accustomed to Ursus wine. This barren land can't grow good brewing ingredients."

"Let the operators come for drinks next time. I'll show you the banquet hall."

Bai Yue took the lead.

Amiya took a few steps closer to him and asked curiously, "What kind of building is it?"

Bai Yue didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "It's a Minoan-style building, perfect for a celebratory banquet to mark the heroes' triumph. Minoan heroism does have its merits."

"Oh~"

Amiya laughed and said, "The Fontied Operators on Rhodes Island will definitely like it. They always say that once they leave their hometown, they can no longer experience that 'Minos-like' feeling."

"can you?"

Bai Yue was somewhat skeptical. Just as he disliked Yan-style food, would those Fengti agents like Minos-style architecture?

Amiya wanted to say "Of course," but the words she was about to utter stopped in front of a building not far away.

She looked at the Yan-style foundation platform carved with various beasts and the rising dragon-patterned stone pillars, and forced a smile, "I...I guess so?"

"wrong!"

She realized what was happening and waved her hands, stammering, "Wait a minute, Dr. Bai, this isn't the Minoan style! Shouldn't it be things like fountains, marble sculptures, and murals depicting heroic epics?"

"Hey, is that so?"

Bai Yue stroked her chin, somewhat surprised, and said, "But this is exactly what Croissant told me: stone, patterns, music. Isn't this the Minoan architectural style?"

Amiya now understands why some Syracuse operators look so disgusted by the mention of chocolate sauce pasta, pineapple pizza, and the like.

Judging from the name, it seems to be no different from the traditional dishes of Syracuse, just with a few minor innovations.

But in essence, these are two different things now!

Compared to the traditional marble columns of Minoan civilization, what's the difference between these dragon-carved columns and macaroni covered in chocolate sauce?

No!

Amiya reached out and patted Bai Yue on the shoulder, saying seriously, "Don't tell Operator Feng Ti that this is a Minoan-style building. Just say it's a Yan Kingdom building."

"Okay, fine, whatever you say."

Bai Yue readily accepted good advice.

......

Approximately 150 kilometers from where Councilor Charlotte was attacked, in the banquet hall of the Earl's Palace in the territory of Sedihey.

The magnificent crystal chandelier illuminated the room, and the long banquet table was laden with a variety of exquisite dishes, where elegantly dressed celebrities from all walks of life in Ursus mingled and ate.

In a corner of the banquet, a young man from Ursus dressed in military uniform asked the elderly man in a uniform covered in medals with curiosity, "Your Excellency, I heard that Councilor Charlotte is going to stay here?"

Count Sadie stroked his beard, revealing an exaggerated smile:

"Oh ho ho, Lord Nar, where did you get this information from?"

Baron Nar smiled confidently and said, "Hehe, although I am not very talented, my brother works at Saint-Germain Castle, so he is naturally more well-informed."

Count Sedihei nodded, pleased, "Oh ho ho, that's right, that's right. Judging by the time, he should be here by now. My butler has already gone to greet him. Let's wait to see this important figure from Saint-Jun Castle."

Baron Nar confirmed the news and immediately showed his delight: "Great, Councilor Charlotte is here. This mess is finally over."

But then he sighed, "It's just a pity about the Third Army. The Emperor has thrown in another handful of sand. Our days are not going to be easy."

Count Sadie's smile vanished instantly. He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and said with reddened eyes:

"Who says otherwise? The Grand Duke is dead, the Viscount is dead, they're gone. We don't know how long we can hold onto our base in the Third Army, and we don't know if Charlotte can bring us any good news."

"And that damned brat! What right does he have to inherit the Grand Duke's wealth! The Emperor even granted him Chernobog; he's insane! Our great nation will be ruined sooner or later in his hands!"

Baron Nar chuckled easily, “In the end, he’s just a greenhorn. So what if the emperor supports him? This is our territory. If Councilor Charlotte doesn’t obediently hand over his power when she arrives, the winter of Ursus will be enough to wipe out all traces of him.”

"What a ridiculous new policy! Accepting Sarkaz and Infected people? Does he think he's the former emperor?!"

“Foolish fellow, it seems that noble blood has not added any wisdom to his mind, do you think, Your Excellency?”

Count Sadie took a drag of his cigarette, gulped down a mouthful of wine, and laughed cruelly:

"Oh ho ho, you can't say that. Even if he's just a figurehead, he's still a Grand Duke. Even if he's just a councilor named Charlotte, if you really mess with him, the Imperial Guards will probably skin him alive. I think we should just keep him safe in the city."

"You've given this matter considerable thought; I'd like to offer you a toast!"

Baron Nar raised his glass and drank heartily.

Suddenly, the banquet hall doors were flung open with a bang, the force of which caused the doors to fall off the frame and crash to the ground.

The Wendigo giant, wielding a halberd, entered the banquet hall and coldly declared:

"Councilor Charlotte from Saint-Germain launched an attack on us without provocation and has now been annihilated. You were all accomplices. Now, either pay the ransom or die here!"

“The people whose names I call now, please step forward. You do not need to pay a ransom.”

"Count Sedihey, Baron Nar..."

Chapter 154 Core City, Activated!

Two weeks later.

Chernobog, Central Control Room.

"Three, two, one, mobile module activated!"

Kroos's oily voice echoed in the central control room as she slapped a bright red button. The mechanical turning sound was enormous, but not noisy; rather, it was orderly.

Hundreds of drones took to the air in the city.

Inside the central control room, huge black screens lit up, displaying the view provided by drones, showing locations in major areas both inside and outside the city.

After doing all this, she turned to look at Bai Yue, who was sitting on the conference table, her hands supporting her chin, staring intently at the monitor screen, and said with a disgruntled expression:

"Alright, the mobile module is basically repaired and the energy supply is fine. But the reconstruction of the command tower will take some time. For now, just make do with this central control room. Is there anywhere you want to go? If so, just say so. I need to test it in actual combat to see if there are any other problems."

Bai Yue snapped out of her daze and tilted her head, asking, "To Longmen?"

But the next second, he rejected the idea: "Forget it, there's no rush to go to Longmen. I'll go to XXXX instead; I left something there. I'll also attend a noble banquet; a marquis has invited me."

What's your stuff there?

Kroos scratched her head in confusion and pondered, "I remember there was a city there that was destroyed by a natural disaster. Could it be that it was also the territory you inherited?"

"No."

Bai Yue chuckled and said, "Where would I find so many territories to inherit? It was something an elder promised me, and in exchange, I have to take in a batch of infected people."

"Oh." Kroos had a guess, but didn't ask any further; it would be impolite to ask again!

She turned back and started adjusting the equipment, her face beaming with excitement. "The coordinates are XXXX, let's go! It will take about 74 hours, passing through 8 settlements, with Rhodes Island as our support..."

...

As the massive mobile module of the core city began to activate, everyone in the city inevitably felt a slight tremor, but this minor tremor subsided within a few minutes.

The core city is progressing smoothly on its trajectory.

...

3:23 p.m.

The Earl's House of Chernobog.

Jade stopped the car, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out. She walked over, opened the back door, and while helping Bai Yue out of the car, she also used her body to block the view of outsiders, both to protect privacy and to prevent assassination.

Bai Yue hadn't taken two steps when she saw a car drive in.

He looked closely and saw that Lin Yuxia was sitting in the driver's seat. He stopped and waved with a smile.

Lin Yuxia parked the car in the parking space, got out, stretched, revealing her beautiful figure, and then yawned: "What a coincidence, Xiaoyue, did you just come back from the control room of the mobile module?"

"Ah."

Bai Yue nodded, then ran over to her side and massaged her sore muscles, asking curiously, "So, Sister Yuxia, did you come back to rest after finishing your work?"

"No."

Lin Yuxia sighed, "How could it be so early? I'm working overtime every day and I'm still too busy. You're going to entertain the Rhodes Island operators, right? I'll come back and get the invitations Amber made, and have someone go to Rhodes Island to distribute them later."

"Oh." Bai Yue kneaded her fingers and asked in confusion, "Then why didn't you have your subordinates come and get it?"

Lin Yuxia tapped his forehead and scolded, "What, can't I take a break? I didn't expect you to be such a heartless boss who can't stand seeing your employees rest."

"how come."

Bai Yue took her arm and said with a smile, "It was just an accident. I haven't seen you at home during the day for so long. I'm not a heartless boss. Even if I were, I would never exploit Sister Yuxia!"

Lin Yuxia enjoyed her intimate time with him, and the annoyance on her face disappeared, replaced by a series of smiles.

"Hehe, then I'll trust you."

"Yes, yes, just trust me!" Bai Yue patted her chest and assured her.

...

Lin Yuxia left quickly after receiving the small box containing the invitation.

Bai Yue stepped onto the tender grass and arrived at the dimly lit courtyard area opposite the Earl's mansion. There were many newly built, Minoan-style buildings here.

The exquisitely carved houses, adorned with myths from across Terra, possess a stone exterior that, far from appearing rough or unsightly, is warm and inviting, resembling jade. Stone corridors with wooden screens connect these houses.

In addition, after crossing the cobblestone path filled with flower beds, you will see a spring for relaxation, with clear spring water bubbling in it, and stone benches and chairs for people to rest on.

There was also a large open space where the soil had been turned over, as if something was to be planted.

Bai Yue stepped onto the stairs and entered the house. What she saw was not an old-fashioned style of decoration, but rather murals, sculptures, and various exquisite pieces of furniture.

While such elements are also present here, the murals have been replaced with various medical guidelines and disease prevention tips, and the sculptures have been replaced with explicit human models.

Not to mention furniture; there's no exquisite wooden furniture here, but there are plenty of modern medical equipment.

For example, the classic setup of a call number display screen and rows of chairs.

If it weren't for the fact that the interior still retains its 'stone' style and the walls aren't painted white, this place would be a modern hospital, as standard as it gets. It's just a pity that there's no disinfectant smell, so the atmosphere doesn't quite meet the standard.

There weren't many people around.

Bai Yue walked into the room and headed further inside. There were only a few Rhodes Island operators adjusting equipment. As she walked further in and passed through two or three corridors, the room finally became a bit more lively.

Quiet noise.

This was his first reaction upon entering the area. There weren't many people there; they were all sitting in rows of chairs, talking to each other in hushed tones.

The display screen hanging on the ceiling was calling out numbers in turn, showing the two attending physicians as Shining and Nightingale, who were currently supporting the modest medical needs of Dimple Courtyard.

A patient who was shaking his head saw Bai Yue, and then, just like every student seeing their homeroom teacher, he immediately lowered his head, silently thinking, 'You didn't see me, you didn't see me.'

No one dared to speak to Bai Yue at first, and after he sat down and looked down at the messages on his phone, with Emerald standing quietly beside him, even fewer people dared to come up.

The atmosphere in the hall became somber. Even the patients who had been speaking softly just moments before started breathing more lightly, as if making a sound at this moment would be a grave offense.

"..."

Bai Yue felt a little numb. Oh my god, how embarrassing! Was she some kind of human silent device?

But should I take the initiative to make a joke to ease the tension?

Let's forget about it. I don't have that talent. They won't dare not laugh, and that scene would be a bit hellish.

Finally, after more than ten minutes,

After a patient came out of the examination room, Nightingale also came out. Seeing Bai Yue waiting for her, she smiled sweetly and went up to greet her.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Dr. Bai. Is it time this week already?"

Bai Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's a routine check. Did Shanling know you came out?"

The nightingale didn't speak, but simply smiled and extended its hand.

Bai Yue naturally understood, reached out and took her hand, and said helplessly, "Then I might have to change the door again later."

"Hey!"
