...All the suffering survivors on the wasteland are comrades on the same front. Although we have not fought side by side, I believe that you, who are kind-hearted, will not refuse to be friends with the people of the Bharat Province.
Zaid's head was spinning rapidly.
Although he had not yet escaped from the chaotic downtime, he subconsciously lowered his posture and tried to regain some favorable feelings from the little girl.
My name is Zayed... Dear Miss Alisha, I am really sorry, I take the liberty to bother you in this form.
Although the greasy humor can resolve embarrassment, it is obviously not likable.
However, for his voluntary name, Alyssa relaxed her frown and said in a gentle tone.
Alisa, the first time we met...and you?
Unexpectedly, this noble lady actually turned her eyes to her. Sava, who was standing behind Zaid, dared not look at those beautiful eyes, and said stammeringly.
I...Vasa.
Seeing this guy's incredible appearance, Zeid sighed and looked at Alyssa a little apologetically.
Sorry, he is...my student and my assistant. Although he is good at abilities, he is a little afraid of life.
sorry!Sava quickly bowed and apologized.
Seeing this clumsy young man, Alisa suddenly thought of herself last year, couldn't help but smile and said in a gentle tone.
There is no need to apologize for such a thing, no one is born to be the one who can stand alone.My...a friend, I used to be unable to help crying when I encountered difficulties, but now I can think about some countermeasures calmly. I believe you can do it.After all, the road you have walked is much further than her.
She didn't know how far the Brahma Province was, but it should be much further away from the Giant Rock City and the Dawn City.
Thanks……
The sound was like a spring breeze passing by. The boy buried his head lower, staring at the tip of his shoes, and crawling from his cheeks to his ears.
What a kind girl!
No one has ever encouraged him like this, even his closest family.
Although he had no doubt about Mr. Zeid's correctness, he could not help but feel confused... Has this gentleman who has always helped him and taught him misunderstood something.
Eliza continued with a slightly serious voice as her eyes turned to Zaid's face.
Mr. Zeid, I am not a petty person. If you sincerely apologize, just tell me.Please do not use the survivors of the Bharat Province as a shield. Of course, we are happy to be friends with the survivors of the Bharat Province, but you can't represent them yet.
It's true... I'm not thinking well.Zaid admitted his mistake very simply and honestly.
Maybe there is something wrong with my reasoning.
This woman who cares about small things doesn’t look like a very scheming person, but instead makes him feel a little... silly?
It would be fine if it was because she looked down on her capital, but it was obvious that she was not doing anything for this reason, but she seemed to be playing a childish temper.
Is it important to cheat on such a harmless issue?The result was no bad effect.
Not to mention that he did not miss the other party's words in the end, anyone with some political cultivation would laugh at it.
And if you win in the end, this may not have become a beautiful story in people's mouth.
However, he did not think that there was any problem with his analysis, but the information was missing.
It is extremely difficult to investigate a person in Dawn City, especially for him who is still in the entrepreneurial stage. He does not have a group of guards who are loyal to him, and he does not even have diplomatic immunity. He must be careful not to violate the laws of the alliance.
Alisa nodded gently and whispered a few words to the staff member who looked bad next to her.
I have never seen them before, but they should not be bad people, but there may be some misunderstandings.
The staff member still looked worried and asked seriously.
I really don’t need to call the security guard?
Alyssa said with a lot of laughter.
No, no, don’t cause trouble for others, I will deal with this little thing.
The latter's face gradually calmed down, and he stared at Zaid warningly, and his eyes seemed to say that I remember your face, and then he turned around and walked back to the arena.
After watching him leave, Alyssa looked at Zaid again.
Let’s talk about serious matters, what’s wrong with me? Well... But before that, I actually want to know more, where did you hear my name?
Zeid had a kind smile on his face, after all, he still asked for the girl in front of him.
You underestimate your popularity too much. Your name is well known to everyone in the Rock City, and it is not inferior to that fictional Boer.
Alisa said politely.
You have over the award, I am not such an amazing person.
Zaid continued with a smile.
No, I have no intention of flattering you at all, it would be better to say...I admire you very much.
Alisa's polite expression remained unchanged, but her smile was still a thousand miles away.
Even if you praise me, there is no benefit.
You are too wary of me. In fact, everything I say is the truth... Looking at those wise eyes, Zeid looked innocent and sighed, from the drunkard in the beer hall to the newspaper boy who delivered the newspaper, and the teller lady behind the bank counter... everyone has given you a high evaluation.
They all praised your courage and kindness, believing that you allowed them to avoid the worst outcome and finally achieved the almost impossible miracle.
To be honest, I don’t believe that there are gods in this world, but I still can’t help but wonder whether you have the blessing of gods on your body.After all, it would be difficult for anyone else to achieve a good ending.
After hearing the words that are full of emotions, Alisa suddenly believed the few words that this person said.
He may indeed have some filters of admiration for himself, but what he admires is neither his personality nor what he is proud of.
But something else...
It's like a shadow used to set off the spot on the sketch.
But if this is the case, the residents of the Bharat Province would be too pity.
There is most likely a casino that is larger than the former Rock City, and the chips placed in that casino are most likely astronomical figures she has never heard of.
A trace of fine sweat couldn't help but seep out of Alyssa's forehead.
She instinctively wanted to save those people, so she spoke subconsciously.
...Indeed, even though I remembered what happened that day today, I still felt scared.But I don’t think I’m blessed by the gods, nor do I think I’m a miracle.
Not knowing what she was thinking at this moment, Zeid said with a smile in a tone of coaxing the child.
If this is not a miracle, then what kind of things are needed to be a miracle?
Alisa said without hesitation.
They are the residents of the Stone City.
Zaid was slightly stunned.
Residents of the Rock City?Ah… Of course, I don’t deny that they are indeed indispensable, their courage and ideals are equally impressive
They are the residents of the Stone City.
Alisa repeated her words again, with a hint of expectation or pleading in the unquestionable voice.
Why do you think I am a miracle... They are still looking for light when the night comes, they are clearly looking for light, they are clearly the flame of hope have been extinguished countless times, but they still do not give up, and they are clearly every one you have seen before finding me is a miracle, why do you think I am a miracle?
Zaid was stunned for a moment.
It was not because the girl in front of her said something that was inconsistent with her age, but because he didn't know why her emotions were so excited.
What's this……
Is it a very important thing?
The politeness he said was just to gain her favor, but now it seems that his flattery seemed to hit the horse's leg again.
What exactly does this guy want?
Zaid couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but he didn't write the annoyed expression on his face.
As if he had noticed his impatientness or resistance, Alisa stared at his eyes seriously and couldn't help but speed up her speech.
...Mr. Zayed, I must say again, my life and death in the face of the real wave is not worth mentioning!No matter whether I died on that night, no matter where my body hangs in the end, it will not have any impact on the tomorrow of the Rock City. The sun will still rise and then set at the moment of time.
I'm not a miracle you imagined.Those who let me go are the real miracle.
They could have let the flame burn freely, cleared all the mistakes on a little girl, and stepped on our bodies and moved into the inner city.They could have become the new owners of the casino, but they closed the casino with their own hands…everyone who walked out of the casino was a miracle.
It's such a naive statement...
No.
It should be said to be stupid.
Zaid looked at her coldly, but the smile that looked like spring breeze did not change at all.
In fact, she didn't say anything at all. At least one sentence he agreed with, and the accident made him lit up in his eyes.
If the flame is allowed to burn...
But in this way, many people will probably die.
Mr. Zeid?
Hearing the concerned voice, Zaid suddenly came to his senses, then looked at Alyssa with a smile on his face.
What's wrong?
nothing……
Alyssa's eyes were a little scared. For a moment, she saw something terrible in his eyes.
She swallowed again and said in a hurry.
If you want to ask how to save the residents of the Bharat Province, you might as well try to start with running a newspaper so that survivors can make their own voices...
Zaid coughed softly, interrupting her chattering nagging.
I'm really sorry... Although I'm very interested in your theory, the sun is about to set, and maybe we can have a good chat next time we meet again.By the way, I don’t know if it’s convenient, I would like to ask you to do me a favor.
Alisa was stunned for a moment, but nodded slightly.
What's the busy thing?
I would like to ask you to introduce the administrators of the alliance to me.
Manager, Mr. Manager?Alisa stared at him blankly, not following the releasing thoughts.
Zaid nodded, stared into her eyes intently, and said seriously.
I need his help…or we need it.
Facing those hot gazes, Alisa immediately understood what he meant, but fell into silence.
Objectively speaking, the alliance has indeed reduced the suffering that Rock City survivors need to suffer, but it is the survivors of Rock City who ended all this suffering.
When it is impossible to determine what is under the mountain, acceleration does not always bring good results.
Can I ask you a question?
You may ask.
Wait until it's over...Wait until the Wasteland Era is over, do you have anything to do?
As if worried that Zeid would be distorted again, Alisa hurriedly added a sentence later.
What I am talking about is not about wishes or things, or just about what I want to do.For example, riding a horse or painting... any kind of hobby is OK.
Those things are all the mood of the nobles, and I will not be corrupted by those things. Zaid smiled. I have not thought about such a distant thing yet. I just want to save the residents of the Bharat Province and let the light of equality spread every inch of land on the banks of the Yongliu River. There is nothing else in my heart.
A hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes, and Elisa's lips moved, and finally thousands of words turned into a soft sigh.
I know a very kind old man... He said that after he retired, he wanted to build a small wooden house by the lake, plant flowers and plants, fish, etc.
Zayed: Who is he?
Mr. Fang Ming’s designer…
Alisa suddenly raised her head, her eyes were unprecedentedly determined, and she took a deep breath and said.
I will definitely not introduce you to Mr. Manager... Please come back!
She refused without any tactfulness.
If she was unsure of her mind just now, she was now completely convinced and told this guy that anything was about playing the piano for a cow.
This guy who keeps talking about equality looks down on what he says more than anyone else.
He planned everything, but never planned where he was in that new world.
In the end, he just wanted to be the god of the new world and change the casino to continue operating.
Will not see you next time.
She would not say a word to him again, and even regretted the words she said just now. She should not have told him what the real miracle was.
This guy is not a comrade-in-arms at all!
Maybe it might even be an enemy...
Once he really succeeds, he will immediately block all the leaky windows in the entire casino!
Facing the gradually cold eyes, Zaid was not angry, but just bowed slightly.
It seems that I have caused your unhappiness...I am sorry.
Although it is a pity, there is nothing we can do about it.
The meeting ended unhappily.
Zaid had lost the meaning of staying here, so he left here with his little apprentice beside him.
On the way back, Vasa looked at Mr. Zaid with confusion on his face, and finally couldn't help but ask for the confusion in his heart.
I just said...we should contact her in a more tactful way.
The results are all the same.If she is the person we are looking for, we can meet the manager through her no matter what.But unfortunately she is not, so this road cannot be understood.
It seemed to be to find some reason for his miscalculation, and it seemed that he really thought so, Zaid paused and continued.
Actually, it is not a bad thing.
A good thing?Vasa was confused.
That's right.
Zaid nodded slightly and continued indifferently.
At least, through the temptation just now, I can confirm that she and the administrators of the alliance do maintain letter exchanges... No matter what form of communication, at least on some issues, their views are intersected.
It only took us one afternoon to figure out the manager's preferences, as a test of investment... This deal is still quite cost-effective.
Vasa said with some loss.
But she won't help us anymore...
He was not sure if he regretted that he might never see that beautiful lady again, or if he really regretted the fate of his family.
Maybe both.
Zaid smiled faintly.
It doesn’t matter, there are many ways to see that gentleman. The key is what happens after seeing him.
If he did have the idea of pleasing Alisa as a potential political ally at first, he immediately gave up on the idea after realizing that she was a child in nature.
It is very troublesome to be an ally with a childish person, so it is better to use it as a touchstone.
The next time he meets the administrator of the alliance, he will try to avoid all minefields.
It’s like listening to the opinions of the shelter residents and changing the equality to the family’s.
He can further improve his personality and try to say more things that gentleman loves to listen to...
What if she wrote to the administrator?Vasa whispered.
If it were himself, there would be other sounds in his family who would be ready to move, and he would also tell Mr. Zeid without hesitation.
He felt that the lady should do the same thing as him.
Zaid's expression froze slightly, but it quickly relaxed.
This possibility is not ruled out... The child does like to make small reports, but I believe that the gentleman will not unilaterally win the belief of the whole family, but listen to the statements from both sides.
And a person like him who has a small background lacks the right way.
If she really mentioned me in a letter to the administrator, I would have to thank her for the favor she gave.
……
At the southernmost end of the distant Central axis of the Central Continent, there is a port called Yongyegang.
It is located in the southernmost corner of the southern industrial zone ruins of Renlian, facing the Antarctic wasteland across the sea.
Because the location is too far away, it is a place where even the White Bear Knights who are keen on the map have never been to.
If you compare the realistic map, the location of this port is probably in South Africa, but it is a higher latitude than the latter.
At the same time, this is probably the southernmost settlement on the entire wasteland.
Because when the Legion first set foot on this land, it was winter in the southern hemisphere, and the day was short and the night was long.
Therefore, this settlement was named Eternal Night Harbor by the Willant colonists.
Unlike the Eastern Legion that occupied the vast plains, the Southern Legion's land was even more fragmented. Apart from the local peninsula, most of the territory was mainly distributed on the coastline of the western industrial zone ruins of the Great Desert and the southern industrial zone ruins.
Although the soil of these lands is poor and cannot grow crops, it is rich in minerals.
Due to this series of factors, the Southern Legion has many differences in its style of conduct from the Eastern Legion.
They were more like late-Medieval colonists than the military aristocrats who had large swathes and estates.
Although they are equally ruthless when exploiting other ethnic groups, they do not exclude the use of more euphemistic methods when it meets their own interests.
For example, buy locals to rule locals.
For example, it is allowed to redeem the body of slaves.
For example, using debt slaves instead of contract slaves, etc.
After all, they do not have as much land resources as the Oriental Legion to waste, so they have to spend some time thinking about how to improve the production capacity of the colony.
It is precisely because of this style of conduct that they are very close to the civil servant group of Triumph City.
Of course, the similarity of form and style is only one aspect, and ultimately it is because the interests of both parties are tied together.
For example, the various ports of the Southern Legion are located along the coast of the route from Bharat Province to Triumph City.
The ships of the civil servant group brought back from the Bharat Province not only the spices, tea and sugar that Triumph City was keen on, but also the slaves and livestock needed by the colonies of the Southern Legion.
Compared with those vagrants and alien species living in the great desert, the survivors and animals of the Bharat Province are undoubtedly much more docile and are more popular among the southern colonists.
By the way, when these ships return to Triumph City, they will also bring some colonial specialties.
For example, all kinds of ores, gems and gold.
It is precisely because of this that the port of Yongye Harbor will never be short of ships from the Bharat Province.
Especially the ships from Xifan Port.
But recently, there has been a little accident here...
The port of Yongyegang was crowded with people, and a large number of passengers carrying suitcases gathered at the door of the ticket office, clamoring at the top of the voice.
It is summer in December. The sea breeze blowing from the sea is already a bit hot, and people's emotions explode like a powder barrel.
A Willant passenger finally squeezed to the counter, and his fist, which had saved the boat ticket, hit the counter hard, wishing to stuff his nose into the narrow window.
Where is the ship?I bought a boat ticket to Triumph City!Where did the ship go!
Please calm down and let me see which flight you bought... I can help you with a refund.
The staff reached out to get the ticket, but the passenger grabbed it back.
The Willant traveler roared loudly as he glared at the back of the window.
I never said I would like to refund!I want to go home!
The staff member smiled bitterly and looked at him helplessly.
I know...but I can't do anything about it. If the flight you booked does not appear on the dock, it is likely to be breached. We will compensate your ticket according to the contract.
What is a high probability of default!The Willant roared in anger, it’s the end of the year, I’ll go back to Triumph City like this once a year!Damn, why do you have to be before your birthday!
The staff sweated on their foreheads, trying to calm him and the other travelers behind him.
Please, please calm down... I understand your feelings sir, but we can't do anything about it.The carrier was cancelled, but it seemed that it was because I wanted to go to the east to pull a batch of arms.
The passenger obviously didn't buy it and rudely interrupted his defense.
I bought a passenger ship!It's a passenger ship!Do you think I am a fool?
The staff sighed helplessly.
I know...but I heard that those people gave too much.You are quite lucky. Yesterday, a ship was going to dock. When you heard about the news from Xifan Port, the passenger who threw it on the shore turned around and left.
Wirante Traveler: ???
Standing in the crowd, Panni heard the quarrel in front, with a confused expression on her face.
She came here from Xifan Port a week ago by boat. She originally booked her transfer ticket today to return to Triumph City, but she didn't expect to hear such bad news.
Finally, she lined up to the window, and she glanced at the ticket in her hand and said blankly.
...The ship is gone?
The staff sitting behind the window looked at her, and his anxious expression was obviously not the first time he answered this question.
It has been gone since yesterday... You are quite lucky, Miss, I heard that there are some people who were driven off after getting on the boat.
Penny said laughing and crying.
Then how can I go home?
The staff also had an awkward expression on their faces.
Don't know...uh, but in my experience, it should be fine if I wait for two days.After all, not all ships will continue to drive eastward, and some ships will return when they arrive at Yongye Harbor.There are also some cargo ships that pull cargo. If the prices are appropriate, they won’t mind working part-time passenger ships. We will also help you pay attention to relevant information.
……
Panni only regrets one thing now, that is, she politely rejected Governor Huye's kindness and did not take him to the sailboat of Triumph City, but chose to transfer at Yongya Port.
As a result, I didn't expect that after just three days of playing here, I couldn't go back.
What exactly happened?She asked with a worried look on her face.
The staff sighed.
We are not sure about the news, I only heard that it was a good thing that Captain Bennot Wan did.He reached some unclear agreement with the Eastern Legion, and then all the ships on the entire route ran eastward and rushed to pick up money.
I heard that not only were there for the equipment of the Expeditionary Army, but some were fantasizing about picking up some garbage from the front line from the academy, enterprise or alliance.
But he felt that those people were simply dreaming.
Moreover, so many people rushed over to grab it, it is still unknown whether they can make money by then.
Panni was stunned. Unexpectedly, the one who couldn't get home was her biological father who served as ambassador in Shuguang City.
This is really...
Looking at the lady in front of her, the staff kindly reminded her.
Things have been like this, and we have nothing to do.You'd better book a hotel in the port as soon as possible... By the evening, I'm afraid there's no place to stay if I have money.My uncle runs a hotel near the port. Do you need me to contact you?
Penny shook her head.
...No need, I have a place to live.
Her uncle was an officer of the Southern Legion, and his rank was a commander of the thousand men, who served as the Chief of Defense in Yongya Port.
She has lived at her uncle's house these days, and at worst she can disturb her for a few more days.
However, in order not to worry her mother who was far away in Triumph City, she had to go to the post office and shoot a telegram to her home.
The staff sighed and said apologetically.
Ah... I'm very sorry, please forgive me.
Is there any way to understand?
Panni replied with a helpless expression, nodded and thanked, then left the ticket office with her suitcase, called a three-wheeler at the port, and asked the master who was pulling the car to take him to the door of the post office.
Soon the marble building came into view.
Taking out a golden dinar and paying, Panny walked up the stairs of the post office with her suitcase.
However, just as she stepped over the door, she heard a few hurried conversations passing by her.
Is there a boat?I need a boat that has been to the east recently!The faster the better!
A boat to the east?What are you talking about in my dreams? Where can there be a boat on this pier?
Oh shit!Why are you rushing to this critical moment?
Penny turned her face and saw a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat punching the marble pillar at the door.
The man following him looked at his companion with a look of surprise and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
What exactly happened?
The man's expression was gloomy, and his hoarse voice was low and heavy.
However, even so, Penny still heard the sentence vaguely
Xifan Port!Something big happened over there!
Zaid's head was spinning rapidly.
Although he had not yet escaped from the chaotic downtime, he subconsciously lowered his posture and tried to regain some favorable feelings from the little girl.
My name is Zayed... Dear Miss Alisha, I am really sorry, I take the liberty to bother you in this form.

What's wrong?
nothing……
Alyssa's eyes were a little scared. For a moment, she saw something terrible in his eyes.
She swallowed again and said in a hurry.
If you want to ask how to save the residents of the Bharat Province, you might as well try to start with running a newspaper so that survivors can make their own voices...
Zaid coughed softly, interrupting her chattering nagging.
I'm really sorry... Although I'm very interested in your theory, the sun is about to set, and maybe we can have a good chat next time we meet again.By the way, I don’t know if it’s convenient, I would like to ask you to do me a favor.
Alisa was stunned for a moment, but nodded slightly.
What's the busy thing?
I would like to ask you to introduce the administrators of the alliance to me.
Manager, Mr. Manager?Alisa stared at him blankly, not following the releasing thoughts.
Zaid nodded, stared into her eyes intently, and said seriously.
I need his help…or we need it.
Facing those hot gazes, Alisa immediately understood what he meant, but fell into silence.
Objectively speaking, the alliance has indeed reduced the suffering that Rock City survivors need to suffer, but it is the survivors of Rock City who ended all this suffering.
When it is impossible to determine what is under the mountain, acceleration does not always bring good results.
Can I ask you a question?
You may ask.
Wait until it's over...Wait until the Wasteland Era is over, do you have anything to do?
As if worried that Zeid would be distorted again, Alisa hurriedly added a sentence later.
What I am talking about is not about wishes or things, or just about what I want to do.For example, riding a horse or painting... any kind of hobby is OK.
Those things are all the mood of the nobles, and I will not be corrupted by those things. Zaid smiled. I have not thought about such a distant thing yet. I just want to save the residents of the Bharat Province and let the light of equality spread every inch of land on the banks of the Yongliu River. There is nothing else in my heart.
A hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes, and Elisa's lips moved, and finally thousands of words turned into a soft sigh.
I know a very kind old man... He said that after he retired, he wanted to build a small wooden house by the lake, plant flowers and plants, fish, etc.
Zayed: Who is he?
Mr. Fang Ming’s designer…
Alisa suddenly raised her head, her eyes were unprecedentedly determined, and she took a deep breath and said.
I will definitely not introduce you to Mr. Manager... Please come back!
She refused without any tactfulness.
If she was unsure of her mind just now, she was now completely convinced and told this guy that anything was about playing the piano for a cow.
This guy who keeps talking about equality looks down on what he says more than anyone else.
He planned everything, but never planned where he was in that new world.
In the end, he just wanted to be the god of the new world and change the casino to continue operating.
Will not see you next time.
She would not say a word to him again, and even regretted the words she said just now. She should not have told him what the real miracle was.
This guy is not a comrade-in-arms at all!
Maybe it might even be an enemy...
Once he really succeeds, he will immediately block all the leaky windows in the entire casino!
Facing the gradually cold eyes, Zaid was not angry, but just bowed slightly.
It seems that I have caused your unhappiness...I am sorry.
Although it is a pity, there is nothing we can do about it.
The meeting ended unhappily.
Zaid had lost the meaning of staying here, so he left here with his little apprentice beside him.
On the way back, Vasa looked at Mr. Zaid with confusion on his face, and finally couldn't help but ask for the confusion in his heart.
I just said...we should contact her in a more tactful way.
The results are all the same.If she is the person we are looking for, we can meet the manager through her no matter what.But unfortunately she is not, so this road cannot be understood.
It seemed to be to find some reason for his miscalculation, and it seemed that he really thought so, Zaid paused and continued.
Actually, it is not a bad thing.
A good thing?Vasa was confused.
That's right.
Zaid nodded slightly and continued indifferently.
At least, through the temptation just now, I can confirm that she and the administrators of the alliance do maintain letter exchanges... No matter what form of communication, at least on some issues, their views are intersected.
It only took us one afternoon to figure out the manager's preferences, as a test of investment... This deal is still quite cost-effective.
Vasa said with some loss.
But she won't help us anymore...
He was not sure if he regretted that he might never see that beautiful lady again, or if he really regretted the fate of his family.
Maybe both.
Zaid smiled faintly.
It doesn’t matter, there are many ways to see that gentleman. The key is what happens after seeing him.
If he did have the idea of pleasing Alisa as a potential political ally at first, he immediately gave up on the idea after realizing that she was a child in nature.
It is very troublesome to be an ally with a childish person, so it is better to use it as a touchstone.
The next time he meets the administrator of the alliance, he will try to avoid all minefields.
It’s like listening to the opinions of the shelter residents and changing the equality to the family’s.
He can further improve his personality and try to say more things that gentleman loves to listen to...
What if she wrote to the administrator?Vasa whispered.
If it were himself, there would be other sounds in his family who would be ready to move, and he would also tell Mr. Zeid without hesitation.
He felt that the lady should do the same thing as him.
Zaid's expression froze slightly, but it quickly relaxed.
This possibility is not ruled out... The child does like to make small reports, but I believe that the gentleman will not unilaterally win the belief of the whole family, but listen to the statements from both sides.
And a person like him who has a small background lacks the right way.
If she really mentioned me in a letter to the administrator, I would have to thank her for the favor she gave.
……
At the southernmost end of the distant Central axis of the Central Continent, there is a port called Yongyegang.
It is located in the southernmost corner of the southern industrial zone ruins of Renlian, facing the Antarctic wasteland across the sea.
Because the location is too far away, it is a place where even the White Bear Knights who are keen on the map have never been to.
If you compare the realistic map, the location of this port is probably in South Africa, but it is a higher latitude than the latter.
At the same time, this is probably the southernmost settlement on the entire wasteland.
Because when the Legion first set foot on this land, it was winter in the southern hemisphere, and the day was short and the night was long.
Therefore, this settlement was named Eternal Night Harbor by the Willant colonists.
Unlike the Eastern Legion that occupied the vast plains, the Southern Legion's land was even more fragmented. Apart from the local peninsula, most of the territory was mainly distributed on the coastline of the western industrial zone ruins of the Great Desert and the southern industrial zone ruins.
Although the soil of these lands is poor and cannot grow crops, it is rich in minerals.
Due to this series of factors, the Southern Legion has many differences in its style of conduct from the Eastern Legion.
They were more like late-Medieval colonists than the military aristocrats who had large swathes and estates.
Although they are equally ruthless when exploiting other ethnic groups, they do not exclude the use of more euphemistic methods when it meets their own interests.
For example, buy locals to rule locals.
For example, it is allowed to redeem the body of slaves.
For example, using debt slaves instead of contract slaves, etc.
After all, they do not have as much land resources as the Oriental Legion to waste, so they have to spend some time thinking about how to improve the production capacity of the colony.
It is precisely because of this style of conduct that they are very close to the civil servant group of Triumph City.
Of course, the similarity of form and style is only one aspect, and ultimately it is because the interests of both parties are tied together.
For example, the various ports of the Southern Legion are located along the coast of the route from Bharat Province to Triumph City.
The ships of the civil servant group brought back from the Bharat Province not only the spices, tea and sugar that Triumph City was keen on, but also the slaves and livestock needed by the colonies of the Southern Legion.
Compared with those vagrants and alien species living in the great desert, the survivors and animals of the Bharat Province are undoubtedly much more docile and are more popular among the southern colonists.
By the way, when these ships return to Triumph City, they will also bring some colonial specialties.
For example, all kinds of ores, gems and gold.
It is precisely because of this that the port of Yongye Harbor will never be short of ships from the Bharat Province.
Especially the ships from Xifan Port.
But recently, there has been a little accident here...
The port of Yongyegang was crowded with people, and a large number of passengers carrying suitcases gathered at the door of the ticket office, clamoring at the top of the voice.
It is summer in December. The sea breeze blowing from the sea is already a bit hot, and people's emotions explode like a powder barrel.
A Willant passenger finally squeezed to the counter, and his fist, which had saved the boat ticket, hit the counter hard, wishing to stuff his nose into the narrow window.
Where is the ship?I bought a boat ticket to Triumph City!Where did the ship go!
Please calm down and let me see which flight you bought... I can help you with a refund.
The staff reached out to get the ticket, but the passenger grabbed it back.
The Willant traveler roared loudly as he glared at the back of the window.
I never said I would like to refund!I want to go home!
The staff member smiled bitterly and looked at him helplessly.
I know...but I can't do anything about it. If the flight you booked does not appear on the dock, it is likely to be breached. We will compensate your ticket according to the contract.
What is a high probability of default!The Willant roared in anger, it’s the end of the year, I’ll go back to Triumph City like this once a year!Damn, why do you have to be before your birthday!
The staff sweated on their foreheads, trying to calm him and the other travelers behind him.
Please, please calm down... I understand your feelings sir, but we can't do anything about it.The carrier was cancelled, but it seemed that it was because I wanted to go to the east to pull a batch of arms.
The passenger obviously didn't buy it and rudely interrupted his defense.
I bought a passenger ship!It's a passenger ship!Do you think I am a fool?
The staff sighed helplessly.
I know...but I heard that those people gave too much.You are quite lucky. Yesterday, a ship was going to dock. When you heard about the news from Xifan Port, the passenger who threw it on the shore turned around and left.
Wirante Traveler: ???
Standing in the crowd, Panni heard the quarrel in front, with a confused expression on her face.
She came here from Xifan Port a week ago by boat. She originally booked her transfer ticket today to return to Triumph City, but she didn't expect to hear such bad news.
Finally, she lined up to the window, and she glanced at the ticket in her hand and said blankly.
...The ship is gone?
The staff sitting behind the window looked at her, and his anxious expression was obviously not the first time he answered this question.
It has been gone since yesterday... You are quite lucky, Miss, I heard that there are some people who were driven off after getting on the boat.
Penny said laughing and crying.
Then how can I go home?
The staff also had an awkward expression on their faces.
Don't know...uh, but in my experience, it should be fine if I wait for two days.After all, not all ships will continue to drive eastward, and some ships will return when they arrive at Yongye Harbor.There are also some cargo ships that pull cargo. If the prices are appropriate, they won’t mind working part-time passenger ships. We will also help you pay attention to relevant information.
……
Panni only regrets one thing now, that is, she politely rejected Governor Huye's kindness and did not take him to the sailboat of Triumph City, but chose to transfer at Yongya Port.
As a result, I didn't expect that after just three days of playing here, I couldn't go back.
What exactly happened?She asked with a worried look on her face.
The staff sighed.
We are not sure about the news, I only heard that it was a good thing that Captain Bennot Wan did.He reached some unclear agreement with the Eastern Legion, and then all the ships on the entire route ran eastward and rushed to pick up money.
I heard that not only were there for the equipment of the Expeditionary Army, but some were fantasizing about picking up some garbage from the front line from the academy, enterprise or alliance.
But he felt that those people were simply dreaming.
Moreover, so many people rushed over to grab it, it is still unknown whether they can make money by then.
Panni was stunned. Unexpectedly, the one who couldn't get home was her biological father who served as ambassador in Shuguang City.
This is really...
Looking at the lady in front of her, the staff kindly reminded her.
Things have been like this, and we have nothing to do.You'd better book a hotel in the port as soon as possible... By the evening, I'm afraid there's no place to stay if I have money.My uncle runs a hotel near the port. Do you need me to contact you?
Penny shook her head.
...No need, I have a place to live.
Her uncle was an officer of the Southern Legion, and his rank was a commander of the thousand men, who served as the Chief of Defense in Yongya Port.
She has lived at her uncle's house these days, and at worst she can disturb her for a few more days.
However, in order not to worry her mother who was far away in Triumph City, she had to go to the post office and shoot a telegram to her home.
The staff sighed and said apologetically.
Ah... I'm very sorry, please forgive me.
Is there any way to understand?
Panni replied with a helpless expression, nodded and thanked, then left the ticket office with her suitcase, called a three-wheeler at the port, and asked the master who was pulling the car to take him to the door of the post office.
Soon the marble building came into view.
Taking out a golden dinar and paying, Panny walked up the stairs of the post office with her suitcase.
However, just as she stepped over the door, she heard a few hurried conversations passing by her.
Is there a boat?I need a boat that has been to the east recently!The faster the better!
A boat to the east?What are you talking about in my dreams? Where can there be a boat on this pier?
Oh shit!Why are you rushing to this critical moment?
Penny turned her face and saw a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat punching the marble pillar at the door.
The man following him looked at his companion with a look of surprise and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
What exactly happened?
The man's expression was gloomy, and his hoarse voice was low and heavy.
However, even so, Penny still heard the sentence vaguely
Xifan Port!Something big happened over there!
