this is my ark journey

"There is an ancient ruin under the mountain, and there are two staffs inside. Do you have any clues?"

He stared at Theresa, who tilted her head and thought for a moment, not intending to hide it.

"It has been recorded in the royal court documents that it is a taboo place, and those who approach it cannot return. Lateran also visited ten years ago, and even a cardinal came in person, but they can't take anything away, so I'm curious , how did you get out?"

The main show is here, and it seems to be rambling, but the commander-in-chief can come in person on the eve of the final battle, it must be because of the news that the abnormal situation in the forbidden land is enough for her to come here in person.

'This rhetoric is really powerful. It didn't make me feel disgusted when I accidentally talked about business. '

Ren once again felt Teresia's power. Since he took the initiative to start the topic, he wondered if he could dig something out of Teresia's mouth.

"It's a fallen angel. Fallen angels who break the law can take away two staffs."

The short sentence made Teresia's pupils shrink, and it took a long time before she smiled wryly.

It is impossible for Rutland to bring a criminal here, and Kazdel is Sakota's sworn enemy, and the rest of the countries don't even have the chance to participate.

"This condition is really unexpected. I didn't expect it to be solved by you unintentionally."

"Let's count it as my luck." Ren didn't know if it was luck, but the staff didn't matter. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and spread it out in front of the two of them.

"I found a few lines of text behind the altar, can you understand it?"

This is exactly the text he copied. With the light of the moving fire, Ren saw Teresia frown slightly and Kelsey's pupils shrank slightly. This move was caught off guard, and the micro-expression had already betrayed them.

Sure enough, they can understand it. It’s fine that Teresia was the former ruler of Kazdel. How can Kelsey understand it? She still has research on archaeology?

"When the starry sky is blocked, the stars become illusory, the ancient blood links are used as locks, and several keys are inserted into the base." Teresia read it softly, explaining: "The oldest Sarkaz text, only There are people at the core of the royal court who can understand it."

"What about the last paragraph? What is the spare part? What's the meaning of the whole paragraph?" Ren suddenly became interested, and it turned out that the decryption still required the natives of Terra.

"I don't know either. As for the meaning of the whole passage—" Teresia glanced at Kelsey and said with a wry smile, "I can't tell you."

"Sorry, I got carried away." Ren accepted it as soon as he saw it. As a mercenary, his problem just now far exceeded his identity.

Curiosity kills people, if there is really some shocking secret in it, what should I do if it is silenced.

Kelsey hesitated to speak, obviously not caring about Ryan's curiosity, but there were some things she couldn't say, explain, or describe.

In the same way, Teresia patted her hand lightly, with a smile on her face again: "Mr. Ren, we can't explain it to you, but one day, you will be able to find the truth yourself. By the way, this There is a small river nearby, I haven’t been here for many years, can you accompany me for a walk?”

"Teresia, it's time for you to go back and check your body."

"It's hard to come out to get some air, so let me take a rest." Teresia seemed to have shed the last bit of majesty, as if she was acting like a baby.

Kelsey had no choice but to warn Ren with his eyes, making him refuse wisely.

Ren originally thought there was something in Teresia's words, but facing Ferlin's eyes, he got up instead and patted the dust.

"No problem, I also want to know more about Your Highness."

Are you finding fault on purpose?

Heh, why should I give up the chance to flatter?

The gazes of the two met in mid-air, and in an instant, they separated again.

Ren and Teresia walked side by side, and soon heard the sound of rumbling water, and through the moonlight, a big river could be seen rushing.

The two chatted while walking.

"I didn't expect that there would be so much water in winter. It's a pity that the fields are barren and wasted in vain."

"The upstream dam was broken and the water couldn't be stored."

"Who did it? These people didn't pay attention to the war. How long will it take to rebuild in the future? Maybe you are the only one who cares about people's livelihood in Kazdel." Ren complained casually, but found Teresia stopped, a little embarrassed .

"I did it. I fought with an old friend when I was fleeing the king's city, and I split the dam with a sword."

......

Ren had the urge to jump into the river and escape, and his first flattery hit Teresia's pain point!

Chapter 120 Six Ideals of the Tower of Babel

Under the moonlight, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Teresia invited Ryan to take a walk under the moon, but when he came up, he poked his sore feet first.

'Fortunately, there was no shouting and killing, but this is too exaggerated, what the hell is it to cut open the dam with a sword, is it a humanoid Gundam? '

After thinking about it for a while, Ren decided to use his thick skin to fool this matter away: "Ahem, it is inevitable that there will be repercussions during the battle. With your strength, a mere dam will definitely not be able to stop the aftermath."

These words were just right, not only excused Teresia, but also quietly flattered her.

Unexpectedly, the shame on Teresia's face was even heavier, and she even showed a blush.

"I didn't want to fight my old friends, so I took the initiative to split the dam and force them away."

You are naturally black.

Ren opened his mouth slightly, he didn't know how to answer the conversation, and it took him a long time to say:

"Ah, you really miss the old relationship. Maybe those few people will be grateful and stand by our side at the critical moment."

"No, they have already stood like Brother Wang, and they knew that they would follow Kelsey's suggestion and kill them at that time."

I'm so full of taunting skills!

Ren really wanted to give himself a big mouth, but felt that if this topic continued, he might be pulled out and beheaded. Looking at Kelsey, the latter stared at him expressionlessly, and suddenly snorted.

You have today too.

"Your Highness, let's just look at the scenery." Ren stopped talking. He came to increase his favorability, not to sow hatred.

"Ah."

The head was not turned properly, and the atmosphere was awkward and silent. The two walked side by side for a few minutes, and when they saw some corpses floating in the river, Ren rolled his eyes and suddenly had another topic.

"There are no wounds. Judging from the clothes, they look like civilians who have thrown themselves into the river."

"Infected people are left with only pain in the end, and many people can only choose to commit suicide in the end." Teresia looked sad, and immediately forgot the unpleasantness of the topic just now.

"That's why you built the Tower of Babel?" Ren's expression also calmed down. He found that getting along with Teresia doesn't have to deliberately find words, let alone be as cramped as facing an ordinary king, just like friends talking about common interests .

"Well, through the efforts of the doctor and Kelsey, we have successfully developed some inhibitors. By the way, I brought you some this time, hoping to help the Cardinals." Teresia finally thought of the business , took out a few bottles of medicine from his pocket.

"Feeding heavily infected mercenaries can prolong their lives."

This is really sleepy. He came to send a pillow, Ren quickly took it, and saw that there were some blue pills in the bottle, and a few bottles were worth a lot.

"Thank you very much, this medicine is difficult to produce." He squeezed out a smile, thinking that no one would notice him this time.

"The cost of medicine itself is not high, and ordinary families can afford it." Kelsey answered the conversation with cold eyes, "But after we released it a few years ago, ordinary infected people couldn't buy it at all, and the market was flooded with a large number of medicines." The counterfeit medicine, His Highness strictly investigated, until the end—"

"In the end, I found out that the troublemakers were all royal court nobles. With such huge profits, even the pharmaceutical companies in Colombia will get involved. The more you issue, the more damage will be done to His Highness's reputation." Ren helped her finish the sentence, and sighed slightly in his heart. .

The nobles of Kazdel all have heavy soldiers, and they have been strengthened by successive years of wars. After all, they have to rely on these people to fight, and no ruler dares to tear themselves apart.

He seemed to have seen a few idealists being beaten by reality. In order to resist tradition and treat all Sarkaz, Teresia chose to reform, and was finally driven out of the royal city together.

"As expected, you can understand." Faced with so many sufferings, Teresia smiled, "I was also very confused at the beginning. For a hundred years, my sword was stained with blood, but looking back at it, I don't know who I am protecting."

"Later I understood that it was not the nobles who gave me power, but every Sarkaz. I would rather abandon the throne and stand with them."

"In order to save the majority from suffering, we must fight against the few." Ren lowered his head for a moment of thought, then raised his head and smiled: "But this is indeed the right path."

"Going right?"

"Well, only by gathering the hearts of the people can you be qualified to ascend to the throne. Although their strength is small, if they gather together, everything will be wiped out."

At this moment, Ren has forgotten what it means to get closer, and he really admires Teresia.

She may have been out of kindness and compassion at the beginning, but she should have understood many things after she was displaced.

"Cazdale is like this river, and the Sarkaz are like the water in it. Without water, princes and generals are nothing more than broken ships in the dry river."

Ren's words were very simple. The princess and Kelsey stared at the rolling river for a long time without speaking, and he didn't say much either.

Things always have a development process, and some things are too advanced for others to understand, and he doesn't need to say that if Kazdel has a wise king who cares about the people, what more can he ask for.

"The people are like water, and the king is like a boat. I have to remember this sentence." Teresia didn't seem to be flattering.

"You are doing this, and you can even remember the names of every mercenary. There is no need to waste any more ink." Ren smiled silently, blowing the river wind, and turned the topic to the war again.

"The royal city is right in front of you, but even if you kill Tracys to end the civil war, you still have to face the crazy counterattack of internal and external forces. The war is far from over."

"Indeed, you are a wise man."

"It's just a little cleverness. The situation is so clear, that doctor should understand better." Ryan, who was talking about business, was calm, and sighed: "The risk of ending the civil war is extremely high now. I think we should stabilize the base, and then switch from the inside line to the outside line. Let's ignite the flames of resistance in the surrounding countries."

He tried his best to persuade that a group of flames can be easily extinguished, but a single spark can start a prairie fire and spread the firepower.

"I've read the report, and it's indeed a safe tactic." Teresia listened intently, but shook her head: "But I don't have much time, and those things I want to do must have a stable environment. I'll leave it to the Doctor, Kelsey, and you all."

She seemed to be asking for help, but she had a smile on her face, as if she had already considered various possibilities.

"Even if the Tower of Babel is defeated, as long as Rhodes Island and everyone are there, saving from an infected person will become a huge number. By then, it will definitely be able to save Sarkaz in turn."

Ren was speechless, as he understood Teresia's thoughts.

This Highness wanted to save the infected from the very beginning. Reality and tradition bound her hands and feet, so she started a new stove, intending to purify Kazdel and solve the problem of the infected with the scientific research strength of the Tower of Babel. From then on, Sarkaz and the rest The infected escaped misery.

The ideal is very good, without nobles, she can distribute the inhibitor to every Sarkaz, backed by the powerful Kazdel, the ore disease treatment technology can spread rapidly, thus benefiting all infected people .

But there are a few key points here.

First, whether the Tower of Babel can produce research results in a short period of time.

Second, whether other countries are willing to treat their people.

Third, can the new Kazdel survive?

Ryan expressed pessimism on all three key points. As far as he knew, Origin Stone was not a purely medical or biological problem at all, and it was impossible to solve it in a short time.

And as far as he saw in the past few months, Terra's life was really worthless. Those factory owners and nobles would not even spend money on treatment for the people below, even if they gave out a little inhibitor, because it would only increase the cost.Not to mention that as Skadi said in the letter, she also bought medicine, but it didn't work at all after being given to the ghost shark.

How many people's interests are involved here, isn't the Tower of Babel smashing people's jobs?

The first two points are fine, but the most important thing is that without Teresia, Kazdel immediately fell apart.It is true that Rhodes Island may be able to wander the wilderness and continue to develop, but it still cannot avoid going against this land.

A company and a country have completely different difficulties.

"Don't place your hopes on Rhodes Island. If the flag falls, it will not be easy to get back to the current situation." Ren solemnly warned.

In fact, he really wanted to talk about treating Teresia, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back.

Firstly, all the battle preparations have already started, and the troops have entered the predetermined position, and even if they continue to die, they cannot stop, so let's talk about everything after the battle is over.

Secondly, this is his core secret, and its source cannot be explained at all. Even if Teresia has good intentions, it is hard for others to say, once it spreads out, he will become the fat that everyone in this land wants.

"I won't talk about death lightly, at least I have to leave you a safe and pure land." Teresia smiled and raised her head slightly, with a bit of majesty in her gentleness.

"Ren, can I trust you?"

"Our goal is the same, far beyond any verbal commitment." Ren nodded.

"Well, then I want to entrust you with the task of sneak attacking the king's city. Follow this river all the way down, and you will be able to reach that city."

That's it, I really thought you were here to see the scenery, such a large amount of water is enough to move forward quickly.

Ren glanced at Kelsey, who was hesitant to speak, and asked, "I want to know why such a crucial final blow was given to the Cardinals."

The Tower of Babel will use all its forces to cover and attract all the defenders. If Rennes cannot succeed, it will be a tug of war.

Teresia rolled her eyes and replied without hesitation: "Because you have the same goal as me."

The short answer was irrefutable. Ren was silent. From his point of view, he naturally wanted to end the civil war quickly, but he didn't expect Teresia to hand over the burden to himself.

Jianfeng Mountain retreated, and the land ship encountered halfway, perhaps the princess had already thought about it.

"Okay, but I will choose the people in the Tower of Babel myself."

"Just discuss it with Kelsey."

Renn had heard of Teresia's reputation as a shopkeeper for a long time, and he didn't think too much about why he discussed it with Kelsey. He just took out a blood bottle from the breastplate.

"I want you to take this with you."

The princess looked at the blood-red vial and didn't recover for a while.

"Is this a gift for me?"

"Well, a worthless gadget." Ren didn't explain too much, and directly changed the subject: "The final attack will be three days later."

"Sorry, you just came back from fighting."
