Młynar, Whose Dreams Were Shattered / Młynar's Water Elf Kiss

It comes from a utopia in the south and is signed by Młynar.

She had heard of Młynar before; she was the Minister of the Environment in the southern utopian Columbia, and also the sister of the Utopia's Lord.

It's acceptable to use the pseudonym "My Positive-Rank Brother" in academic papers.

Why would she write a letter to herself?

After carefully opening the letter, Saria discovered that, in addition to the letter itself, there was a palm-sized electronic information reading device hidden inside.

The device had no password; clicking on it revealed the electronic files inside, almost all of which contained damaging information about Northern Rhine Lab.

It's important to distinguish here that there are currently two Rhine Lab in Columbia.

One is in the north, and the other is in the south under the jurisdiction of Utopia.

The person in charge of the South is naturally our Water Elf, while the person in charge of the North is Kristen.

The original cast members in the story are mostly in the North. After all, Rhine Lab in the series is somewhat radical, and the South, which pursues moral protection, basically has no place for them to survive.

Both development approaches have their merits, and under Utopia's excellent management, the difference in development speed is sufficient to compensate for it.

"Most of these documents..."

Saria originally wanted to say that these were all baseless rumors, but the logical chain presented by these accusations was simply too rigorous.

So meticulously crafted that it contains not a single error, the kind of thing that would cause a huge uproar if published in the news.

Take Dorothy's research project, for example.

Dorothy was a very tall, gentle, and beautiful young woman; Saria simply couldn't associate her with human research.

But Młynar said in the letter that Dorothy also opposed the incorrect approach, but she did not realize that it was incorrect, or that she was too self-righteous and "assertive".

It sounds absurd that someone doesn't realize they've made a mistake and keeps doing immoral things, right?

But Saria thought it made perfect sense; she had seen far too many people like that during the Great Depression.

Only when the bubble bursts, and these people, who desperately want to change their breathing to manual control in order to completely take control of their bodies, understand how to rely on their muscles for "passive breathing."

Is Dorothy that kind of person? Saria couldn't help but wonder.

At the end of the letter, Młynar proposed to meet with her.

The location is a café next to the Rhine Lab Building in the capital of northern Columbia.

Chapter 621 Młynar's Shattered Dreams

Are you going to keep the appointment?

Młynar is a hot commodity in the South right now; he might get discovered...

But what is the Inferno Project... Ifrit...?

Ifrit knew about the child Saria; in fact, she was quite familiar with her.

For a period of time, this child's Originium Arts frequently went berserk, and only she in the entire company was able to suppress them and provide them with some warmth.

But she had no idea about the Inferno Project. Shouldn't Ifrit be undergoing treatment for Originium Infection? Even Herme, who was involved in the experiment, was a close friend of hers.

If there really is a problem, you shouldn't keep it from yourself.

This was also explicitly stated in the message Młynar sent to Saria.

Is it possible that Herme, as the main experimenter, didn't know the truth either, and was just an ordinary researcher assisting with the experiment?

They had no idea whether the medication injected into the girl's body was even a normal one.

The logic was so meticulous that Saria had to take it seriously.

Finally, to answer her questions, she decided to take the risk.

Because if it really was a mistake, she wanted to use her own strength to force Kristen back on the right track.

Although Saria is rather old-fashioned, she is a very intelligent woman. If the things in the letters are true, it's impossible for Kristen to be completely unaware of them.

Perhaps this is why Rhine Lab was able to quickly secure military investment; otherwise, why would so many technology companies choose only...

Is it really just outstanding scientific research ability...?

Saria's mind was in turmoil, and a trace of sorrow appeared on her usually stern and beautiful face.

The next day, Saria, disguised and wearing a large hat, arrived at the agreed location on the letter, right on time.

Młynar did not break her promise, but she was also dressed very conservatively.

The blonde girl spoke first, saying, "Just as I expected, the guardians of justice will not allow injustice to occur. You are just as I thought."

"I never expected that the sister of the Utopia's leader would condescend to come before me."

"Sigh, it's been a long time since I've seen my good brother. Although we call each other every now and then, let's get down to business today."

Młynar pulled a USB drive from his pocket. "Everything you need to know is on this. Although Utopia's diplomatic institutions aren't very good, as a country that has launched countless wars and revolutions, its intelligence agencies are more capable than you, or even I, can imagine."

"To be honest, I've seen all the content inside, and it's a bit... disturbing."

So many screams, so much despair, countless souls converged on the individual named Rosmontis.

What a desperate process that must have been.

Saria solemnly accepted the USB drive, took a deep breath, and left the cafe with her head down.

"My Brother Acao, it's been many years since we last saw each other."

After seeing Wyvern leave, a young figure appeared behind Młynar.

Huang Cao was a little confused. "I look forward to my dear sister coming back every year, but every time we talk on the phone, she avoids me by saying she's focusing on her career. There's really no other way, so after all these years, I had no choice but to come in person."

Młynar blushed slightly as she spoke, "I was just worried about disrupting your and your sisters' lives. After all, having me around would definitely cause you a lot of inconvenience."

Huang Cao: "You can easily build another house next to ours. I forgot to tell you before, there are already two houses next to ours, which means we have two neighbors."

"Two neighbors, I'd guess the people living in both houses are women," Młynar said confidently.

Huang Cao could only nod, acknowledging the fact.

"I bet you came to Columbia for more than just to see me, brother." The Water Elf's face held an even stronger confidence.

But Huang Cao simply tapped Młynar on the head, "What, in your heart, is your Brother Acao so heartless?"

"Let's go back south first; there seem to be more people around here."

Huang Cao snapped his fingers, and the environment around them instantly changed, returning them to the Utopia base.

"What kind of ability is this? I remember Brother Acao, you used to only know how to run on two legs, didn't you?"

Breathing the air of Columbia, now under the control of this southern utopia, the Water Elf couldn't help but take a few more deep breaths.

Although she had already adapted to the Originium pollution of this land, why choose polluted water when there was clean water available?

In northern Columbia, there is an Originium.

The workers' treatment was even more appalling.

The ruling class, driven to the north of Columbia, was still unable to escape its limitations.

Offering concessions is a very simple yet difficult art.

Technology shaped Columbia, but it also left all the problems to technology to solve.

Humanistic issues are often beyond the reach of technology. While productivity can solve most problems, it doesn't resolve societal contradictions.

Productivity must be able to act on the entire society as a whole; only then can problems be solved.

Młynar spent more time in Columbia than in Utopia.

Therefore, she is best able to understand how much the lives of residents in Southern Columbia have improved since joining Utopia.

They are worlds apart, and the Huang Cao cannot tolerate even a speck of dust. Except for a few individuals, the poverty of most people is a social problem, not a problem of individuals.

When productivity is sufficient, there is a limit to poverty; people shouldn't be unable to afford food.

When a society cannot even guarantee its most basic survival, what's the difference between it and a primitive environment?

Survival is the first priority of life, and before Utopia arrived, the pioneers in Columbia couldn't even get enough to eat, so this was not a normal society.

During his time in Columbia, Młynar's love for Utopia only grew stronger, a feeling shared by all Utopians returning home after their adult travels.

Młynar has been traveling as an adult for decades, and she longs to return to Utopia—this is not a joke, but a sense of mission.

Utopia, I must let the spirit of Utopia spread throughout Columbia...

But I failed.

In Master Huang's eyes, Młynar seemed somewhat disappointed.

I failed, the girl thought, realizing she had been somewhat naive.

I actually wanted to spread the utopian ideals in a gentler way, trying to get Columbia and Utopia to form an alliance without external pressure.

But the darkness of society far exceeded his ability to resist, Młynar saw it clearly very early on.

If I weren't the sister of the Utopia's Lord, I would have been dead countless times by now.

Before Utopia officially arrived in Columbia.

Młynar has already attempted to expose various dark aspects of society, whether it be the chaos in academia or the exploitation in unscrupulous factories.

She has shouted out countless times, and each time she has received a large response from a large number of people.

But things didn't get better in Columbia, until Brother Acao didn't want to wait for him anymore...

Chapter 622 Młynar's Water Elf Kiss

"Brother, I didn't finish the trip... I overestimated myself."

Like a water balloon that had been punctured, this Water Elf revealed its most tender side.

She hugged her beloved Huang Cao brother, whom she had been longing for day and night, with a faint sob escaping her lips.

"I'm so useless, aren't I, as your sister..."

Before Młynar could finish speaking, she felt a warm, large hand stroking her long hair.

"You've done very well. You don't live for me, or for anyone else. You live for yourself."

"Thanks to you, because your ecological theories complement Columbia's environment perfectly, Utopia was able to clean up the Originium pollution in southern Columbia at the fastest speed, saving millions of people from suffering and the threat of death."

"For millions of people, the harsh living conditions mean that thousands die every day, and before long, the entire group will be threatened, so there's no need to underestimate ourselves."

Huang Cao placed Młynar's neck on her lap, providing a very comfortable lap pillow position, and then her gentle voice enveloped the girl once again.

"Before I even arrived in Columbia, you were their savior. Have you heard the story of the Brave Sword?"

"Brother, you once told me this story; it was about Victoria."

"Victoria has many stories about heroes, and there's a line that summarizes it particularly well: it's not that a hero is called a hero because he possesses Brave Sword, but rather that a sword wielded by a hero can be called Brave Sword. Heroism is a kind of performance art. When someone fights against injustice and seeks the interests of the majority, that person has already become a successful hero."

Even if he ultimately fails, the flame ignited by this hero will not be easily extinguished, for many more flames will follow to illuminate the final dawn before the darkness.

"Just because you're full after eating the third piece of bread doesn't negate the merit of the first two pieces. Everyone is the protagonist of their own world."

Huang Cao's voice was gentle yet penetrating as she slowly told the girl a story in the warm sunlight.

Just like when Młynar was a child, nestled in the arms of her older sisters, she would ask her brother to tell her a story before going to sleep.

As evening approached, the Water Elf slowly awoke.

Huang Cao was still gazing at her tenderly, and the latter's face suddenly turned slightly red with embarrassment.

"Go back to Utopia. Utopia suits you best. The strong shield and sharp sword are there to protect the most important flesh and blood within. You, like everyone in Utopia, are the most important flesh and blood that makes up this country. I will feel sorry for anyone who gets hurt."

That's nice... but...

For some reason, Młynar slightly stood up and gave Brother Acao a small peck on the cheek.

"Just like when I was a child."

"I'm not a child anymore."

Młynar muttered those words, with an indescribable meaning in them.

The further one is from utopia, the more captivating the lord's charm becomes.
