The Little Deer Who Refused the Toast / Is Anyone Disloyal?!
Black Snake spread his hands in a flattering gesture, to show that he had absolutely no ill intentions.
Huang Cao nodded, and the next day, the four of them boarded a flying machine heading north.
Gazing at the aircraft floating in the sky, Black Snake touched its fuselage with a touch of fascination.
Huang Cao was preparing to meet another woman, Alina, a kind-hearted girl with antlers.
"Master Huang, when did you develop such a beautiful device? Is it available for sale? How much does one cost?"
In this day and age, according to the original storyline, the Originium spacecraft will not be available for at least another ten years. Even if it is available, it will not be as efficient and stable as Master Huang's in the short term.
What shocked Black Serpent the most was that the internal structure of this enormous aircraft was very simple, with virtually no electronic components visible.
In other words, this is a highly sophisticated machine, and there are even more advanced models available.
There's a saying that goes something like this: those who are willing to let go are the ones who are backward.
The aircraft is roughly the size of a small land-based ship.
The aircraft currently responsible for transporting Master Huang is about the size of the Rhodes Island.
There is virtually no additional noise during operation; it can be described as completely silent.
As for such a large machine, it appeared silently in the capital of Ursus, and almost no one noticed it without reporting it.
"This is not for sale, and even if it were to be sold, you might not be able to afford it."
Chapter 504: The Little Deer That Doesn't Accept Toasts
"Ms. Alina, are you really not going to consider enrolling? Our Utopia University is definitely not some shady school; it's a prestigious and renowned institution in this land."
Meanwhile, in a small village north of Ursus.
Three burly men in armor were holding acceptance letters, some with ropes tucked into their back pockets.
In front of them were two old men and a little girl with antlers on her head; the group was talking in the snow.
"Gentlemen, I am truly grateful for your kindness, but unfortunately my family is not worthy of such an honor. I only wish to take good care of my grandparents; going to school is still too much of a luxury for me."
The girl named Alina placed her hands on her lower abdomen and bowed respectfully to the Utopia Warrior was over three meters tall in front of her.
That's incredibly polite, but our great lord wants us to take you back, that won't do!
The squad leader of the three stepped forward and took out a large bag of gold coins from the side.
This thing is quite useful; it holds over a hundred gold coins, enough to ensure this family lives a life of comfort and security.
"You only need to complete six years of study here, and all the money will be yours. Moreover, after graduation, you can come back and continue working in the north, with monthly holidays. You can say that the future is bright."
"We will also take care of Miss Alina's family, and she can come back during winter and summer vacations when she is in school."
Unfortunately, neither the two old men nor the antlered girl glanced at the gold coins once in the entire process.
"Three distinguished gentlemen..."
The two old men wanted to say something, but dared not face the Utopia Warrior were as tall as mountains. The massive armor covered the Utopia Warrior's bodies, yet they moved with remarkable agility.
Moreover, although these three are not Abundance Warrior, their armor is alive, connected to the various senses of the wearer's body.
It also features power assistance, making it feel as if the wearer is completely attached to the armor.
"Grandpa and Grandma, let me tell you, these three gentlemen are all very kind."
Alina picked up the conversation, a hint of fear in her eyes; these people were far more intimidating than the Infected Enforcement Squad.
Utopia.
The girl was not unfamiliar with this name, because every now and then, caravans from this country would pass through the northern tundra and would also stop by her village along the way.
The convoy carried a wide variety of high-quality, inexpensive goods.
Moreover, they are not disturbed by anyone during transactions, and even barter is accepted.
In short, Alina has a very favorable impression of the power represented by these three words, and still does to this day.
Three people dressed in enormous armor, looking like angels, descended in front of him and held out a contract, trying to get him to sign it.
Alina is one of the few literate people in the village; although few, she can still understand a contract without any problem.
She didn't understand why she had to go to school, and why three elite soldiers had been sent.
You must be elite soldiers. Your armor is so heavy; even Noble Lord wouldn't have the resources for that.
Utopia Warrior: You flatter me too much. Back home, I'm just an ordinary grunt.
In short, all of this was too strange, as if it had been a carefully orchestrated trap.
Alina was terrified of this, so she wanted to try to mediate for as long as possible.
But these three soldiers seemed determined to take him away today, and they were getting closer and closer to him.
Alina's social experience is actually insufficient to cope with the current situation.
After all, if Master Huang's soldiers really wanted to take her away, no one present could stop them.
Fortunately, this kind-hearted little deer encountered Utopia. If this job had been outsourced to the disciplinary team, these three would have been taken away together long ago. How could they still be standing in the snow trying to reason with the soldiers?
Utopia Warrior: If I changed into a disciplinary squad uniform, would you come with me?
The Utopia Warrior were also helpless, since this was a task given by their lord, so they could only be as polite as possible and try to persuade them first.
Unfortunately, after the two groups stood in the snow arguing for a long time, Alina still refused to go with the people from Utopia.
Utopia Warrior: I don't quite understand, but it's not a big problem. Let's just use the second plan.
The soldiers exchanged glances. The girl from Etafia in front of them seemed a bit stubborn and not very bright.
After all, she's only around fourteen years old; you can't expect her to have much experience.
Like Firstborn unafraid of a tiger, the two elderly people behind the girl almost knelt down before her.
Alina's grandparents: My precious granddaughter, stop talking, stop talking, or we'll all be dead!
It can only be said that the warriors of Utopia are too principled, but the lord's orders are absolute.
One of the rules of the Utopia Warrior is this: when a task cannot be completed using the prescribed procedures, other means may be used on a small scale to ensure the successful execution of the task.
The fact that this little deer could still be so brave in the face of the temptation of hundreds of gold coins shows that the fixed routine is useless.
However, the lord assigned two tasks to the three of them yesterday, so they can take care of things at the same time.
"Since that's the case, we won't force you, but at least we need to let my lord feel your determination, so could you please give us the horns on your head?"
This was Master Huang's second order: to bring back the person and, of course, the horn, to be displayed as a work of art on the wall.
Anyway, the horns on the heads of the Etafia race fall off once every age.
Huang Cao likes to collect all sorts of things, and Alina, as a tragic character in the story, naturally wants to collect a little something as well.
The horns on its head are a great choice; you can't exactly collect other people's underwear, can you?
The Utopia Warrior traced the area on Alina's head with his finger, indicating where he was going to cut.
The girl did not refuse, and instead showed an expression of resignation.
The leading Utopia Warrior nodded. Although the little girl was as stubborn as Forte, she had the unwavering heart of a warrior.
To remove the almost intact part, the Utopia Warrior drew a line at the base of Alina's horns, which could hardly be considered painless, but fortunately, the warriors had brought anesthetic...
In a flash, the Utopia Warrior responsible for cutting off the antlers had a finely crafted longsword in his hand, and he pressed down on the fawn's shoulder with one hand.
"Don't be nervous, it will be over soon."
A few seconds later, Alina didn't feel a long knife slicing across her head; instead, she felt a tingling sensation on her neck.
But before the fawn could react, she fell heavily onto the snow.
"Alina!"
Upon witnessing this, the two elderly people tried to rush over to protect their granddaughter, but both were lifted up by Utopia Warrior with one hand.
The soldier stuffed a bag of gold coins into the old men's arms, then knocked them unconscious as well.
The squad leader clapped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You transport Miss Alina back to the flying warship and notify the crew to prepare for the double horn amputation surgery. I will take her grandparents back to the cabin and simultaneously notify the troops protecting the village to move in."
"Sigh, I've written your self-criticisms for you. It was such a chore, harder than fighting the Gaul."
Master Huang, who was still in heaven, also learned of the matter immediately, but did not punish his subordinates.
Alina is also part of her future social transformation plan.
Therefore, we must help her grow up quickly; only in this way can we properly tame Talulah, this dragon.
In the storyline, Talulah's team was such a makeshift group that they didn't even have a single person who could be considered a strategist.
Bodro Kashti no good; his behavior is too rigid.
To put it nicely, he was thorough in his work, having gone through a long and arduous journey; to put it bluntly, he was a human-machine.
There's no point in talking to someone who knows Talulah is wrong but refuses to correct her.
Don't tell me this is from God's perspective; even W could sense that something was wrong with Talulah back then.
Even this cockroach could sense the problem, so how could Bodro Kashti not have noticed? Perhaps he did, but by then, he and the Reunion Movement had no way out.
People who stick to their inner beliefs are certainly worthy of respect, and Huang Cao knew about the struggles in this Wendigo's heart, but that didn't stop him from harshly criticizing Bodro Kashti while watching the plot.
Bodro Kashti knew that the Reunion Movement was wrong, but he didn't know what was right, so he could only trust Talulah.
Therefore, Huang Cao wants to develop Alina into a strategist for the Reunion Movement.
She died far too early in the story, and her death was one of the key moments in the transformation of the Reunion Movement.
Chapter 505: Who is disloyal!
"So why do you pay so much attention to these ordinary people, and even spend so much time cultivating them? Why not start preparing them from a young age?"
Black Serpent was puzzled by Master Huang's actions. To this day, it still doesn't understand why Utopia isn't waging war against Ursus. Is it perhaps trying to find a pretext?
"I want to conduct a social experiment, and the suffering of the Ursus people will become the petri dish for this experiment. Why do you think I'm playing house with you here?"
"My conquest doesn't need you. Let Ursus rot for a while longer; it won't cause any major trouble anyway. Or would you be willing to support me in becoming the ruler of this country?"
My previous book has gained a small reputation among certain urban residents in Ursus, though it's mostly just something to talk about over tea.
The blame lies with the country's nobles for their inhumanity; of course, the book written by Master Huang was nothing more than a makeshift production.
While the ideology is indeed firmly aligned with the core principles, some minor details fall short of expectations, leading to a small group of intellectuals in Ursus currently conducting inspections and making improvements.
A small number of Ursus residents who saw the book said:
The idea is good, and the story is engaging, but it just doesn't explain things clearly.
"In short, whether it's Alina or even Talulah, they're nothing more than a large-scale social experiment in my eyes. If the experiment fails, I'll take over the mess in Ursus, which means Ursus must come under my rule."
The black snake felt a sense of pressure, because to this day, it still didn't know just how big this so-called large-scale social experiment really was.
The other party doesn't seem to take this experiment seriously either.
Huang Cao no longer takes Ursus seriously; in fact, dealing with this country is much easier than conquering Victoria a century ago.
"Just take your time, I'm not in a hurry. You're probably preparing too, and the main characters in this social experiment aren't just Talulah and Alina; some nobles from Ursus are also involved."
Sora, a noble descendant of Chernobog, how will she choose in the face of the tides of time?
If everything goes well.
The tragedy in Chernobog should not happen, but how will this outlaw woman face her own conscience and her family?
To be honest, Sora's family is also very peculiar; the whole family runs away but deliberately doesn't take their daughter with them.
The aircraft reached its target location.
The black snake bid farewell to the three, needing to ponder what the social experiment Master Huang had mentioned was all about.
Kashana and Arc looked at their boss curiously, while the latter gave them a very kind smile.
"Don't worry, you two are also part of the plan. But don't fret, you're just my cleanup tools. There's no danger involved, and you're even doing a good deed."
As soon as they got off the bus, the warriors of Utopia knelt down on one knee before Master Huang, holding a box in their hands.
"My lord, your collection has arrived."
