She happened to meet us after successfully resolving the danger, so she joined our operation.

The Reunion Movement had previously helped us by tying down some of Ursus's forces outside.

Doctor suddenly understood and looked at Suika.

"If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed in this operation."

I thank you for your help.

Suika waved her hand.

"There's no need to be so polite. After all, I'm friends with everyone on Rhodes Island. If a friend needs help and I happen to be able to help, I naturally won't stand idly by."

"And I'm also very curious about who exactly this Doctor Amiya keeps mentioning and who can help Rhodes Island out of its predicament is."

Suika smiled and poured Doctor another glass of wine.

Doctor gave a wry smile after hearing this, "Wouldn't you feel sorry for someone who has amnesia?"

Suika looked at the other person strangely, thinking to herself, "If you hadn't lost your memory, I wouldn't dare come in front of you."

After all, he had absolutely no desire to be associated with envoys from a previous civilization; otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed in Lungmen for so long instead of going to the Babel.

What if the Doctor who hasn't lost his memory realizes she's not a "local" and optimizes her out of the picture?

After all, the Originium in this world was his doing.

"Regret? Why should we regret it?"

There are nine times out of ten things in this world that don't go as planned, and many people present participated in this mission with the feeling that they might not return.

People are all doing well now, and you've managed to get them out.

Even if your memory is impaired due to an accident, there is always hope of recovering it.

Everything now can be considered the best possible outcome for Rhodes Island's mission.

Suika reached out and patted Doctor's head.

After hearing Suika's words, the Doctor smiled.

"I'm overthinking it."

Indeed, memories, even if lost, can always be retrieved.

But if any operator dies in Ursus during this rescue operation, they will truly remain there forever.

After Doctor figured things out, he became much more energetic.

The banquet finally came to an end after a large number of Rhodes Island operators had drunk themselves into a stupor.

With Amiya watching them go, Suika, Hoshiguma, and Chen Yixing left Rhodes Island's temporary base.

"You've really caused quite a stir in Ursus!"

Chen spoke only after they had left Rhodes Island's base.

"Hmm? What kind of trouble has Suika caused over there this time?"

Suika didn't speak, but Hoshiguma, who was standing to the side, was very interested in Suika's exploits in Ursus.

Chapter 420 The Conditions of the Great Yan

"She does some really big things."

You wouldn't believe it, Ursus is practically in complete chaos right now.

The eastern regions controlled by the Old Nobility have gone mad.

Lungmen is preparing to change course and head south to avoid trouble.

Chen looked at Suika, who was following behind and looked smug after hearing his words Suika out and grabbed her by the corner, pulling her in front of him.

Hoshiguma casually placed her hand on Suika's other corner, and the two of them "controlled" Suika's head as they walked forward.

"Just received intelligence, a message released by Ursus: a group of unidentified terrorists kidnapped Chernobog a few days ago and rashly entered the Catastrophe zone, causing incalculable damage to Chernobog."

The Ursus army, sensing something was amiss, surrounded and intercepted the terrorists. However, the terrorists were cunning and, taking advantage of the military's relief efforts in the city, escaped Ursus under cover of night and entered the Great Yan.

They're currently trying to find the murderer from the Great Yan side.

After Chen finished speaking, Suika objected. These Ursus people were shameless! They were the ones who drove Chernobog into the Catastrophe, yet she claimed to be the hero who brought Chernobog back from the Catastrophe.

As a result, their words turned black into white, making them the ones who did the bad things, while they became the heroes who saved Chernobog.

Seeing Suika angrily declare that she wanted to go back to Ursus to cause trouble for the Old Nobility, Hoshiguma grabbed her and put his arm around her.

Then he reached out and ruffled Suika's bristling hair.

"Don't get angry, don't get angry, getting angry will only make him happy..."

"What did the Great Yan say?" Hoshiguma was more concerned about the attitude of the Great Yan's upper echelons than about the angry Suika.

The official statement said this.

Great Yan expressed his condolences and sympathies for the suffering of the people of Chernobog.

They also expressed shock and strong condemnation of this act of terrorism.

However, the Great Yan is a peace-loving country and will absolutely not allow such terrorists to enter the country, nor will it have any connection with such terrorists.

"The Great Yan government reserves the right to appeal against the slanderous accusations made by Ursus."

Hearing Chen read out the announcement issued by the Great Yan side in a serious and methodical manner, the three of them burst into laughter the next second.

Therefore, only evil people can be dealt with by evil people. To deal with Ursus's shameless behavior, the government has to be equally shameless.

"By the way, where are we going?" After learning that Great Yan had protected her side, Suika felt a little better, but she was puzzled when she realized that the place they were heading to was not in the direction of Hoshiguma's house.

"It's your uncle... Governor Wei wants to see you... He asked me to take you there after the banquet."

Chen patted Suika on the shoulder to indicate that she would come with her and that Suika shouldn't worry.

It wasn't surprising that Wei Yenwu wanted to see Suika, not to mention the commotion she had caused in Ursus.

Take the Great Yan team, for example, with such a distinctive identity; there must be something he's involved in.

If the other party had done so much, and then simply walked away, concealing their merits and fame, Suika would find it strange.

They soon arrived outside the Governor's Mansion. Hoshiguma stood at the entrance, pointing to the three-wheeled vehicle not far away.

"I'll wait for you here, we'll go back together in a bit."

"Okay!" Suika nodded and then walked into the Governor's Mansion with Chen.

The two were quickly taken to Wei Yenwu's office.

Upon entering, Suika glanced around and noticed two other people hidden in their hoods besides Wei Yenwu.

Suika had seen this hooded style before in the game; it seemed that officials on the Great Yan side quite liked this style of dress.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be two familiar faces— Lin Qingyan, codenamed "Jingzhe," who joined Rhodes Island's Dali Temple Inspectorate while investigating Huang's affairs, and Taihe, Zuo Le's follower in the story, who is also Taihe Deputy Censor of the Rectification Court.

These two people seem to have been waiting for me.

"They don't seem to have any good intentions..." Suika subconsciously pulled out the Ibuki Gourd, wanting to take a bite, but then, seeing the three people staring at her, she smiled sheepishly and hung the Ibuki Gourd back on her waist.

Seeing Suika sitting upright and well-behaved on the stool, Wei Yenwu simply couldn't connect her with the mad and unruly demon he had described in his intelligence reports.

After taking two deep breaths, Wei Yenwu looked at Suika and said...

"Miss Suika, you said you come from a place called Mount Oe, right?"

Suika nodded.

Wei Yenwu raised his eyebrows and looked at her before continuing.

"But our people in the Eastern Country report that there is no place called Mount Oe in any of the official records of the entire Eastern Country."

"That's not surprising, after all, the place names recorded in official records may be different from the ones we call them."

"I Ibuki Suika, have never lied about the fact that I come from Mount Oe."

After Suika finished speaking, Wei Yenwu glanced at the two people beside him before continuing.

"So, given Suika's abilities... how did she end up being trafficked from Mount Oe to the Eastern Country?"

Wei Yenwu recalled a video sent by the Ursus scout not long ago. If he hadn't been certain that it was a real film and not some science fiction movie, he wouldn't have believed that the scenes in it were real.

The enormous figure and terrifying power left him stunned for quite some time.

"Um... it was just an accident, it can't be called kidnapping, it was just hitchhiking along the way."

Suika didn't know how to explain this, and could only look around the room with an embarrassed expression.

"Okay... it wasn't really an important thing anyway."

"Miss Suika, you must be aware that the Great Yan has endured immense pressure to protect you and Rhodes Island, which has strained its relationship with Ursus as a result..."

As Wei Yenwu spoke, Suika knew he was about to reveal his true intentions and immediately sat up straight.

"I understand the reasoning, and I'm not someone who doesn't repay kindness."

I witnessed and cherish the help that Great Yan provided.

"If the Great Yan needs any help, I will go through fire and water for them."

Upon hearing Suika's words, Wei Yenwu leaned back slightly, moving behind Lin Qingyan and Liu He.

"Great Yan has two requests. First, they hope you can settle down in Great Yan."

Of course, we also understand your aspirations, so we are willing to give you five years to travel around Terra.

And afterwards... the Great Yan side won't hold you accountable.

You will be appointed as the Great Yan Disaster Relief and Pacification Envoy, a fourth-rank official.

Your task is simply to represent the Great Yan in providing disaster relief and support after a major disaster strikes a certain location.

Secondly... The Great Yan has the right to summon you once. Within these five years, no matter where you are, you must immediately come to Great Yan and help Great Yan do one thing upon hearing the summons."

After exchanging a Liu He, Lin Qingyan Lin Qingyan stepped forward and looked at Suika, saying...

Suika was somewhat surprised after hearing Lin Qingyan's words; she could glean a lot from them.

One of them is that the other party is very familiar with my ability to host banquets.

Chapter 421 Suika's Confession

A disaster relief envoy of the fourth rank is not considered a minor official position.

Although this thing sounds like it has no real power and it's just working for Great Yan, surprisingly, Suika doesn't have any ill feelings towards it.

Perhaps because he was a person from the Great Yan in his previous life, he did not feel any dissatisfaction with becoming a civil servant of the Great Yan, but rather felt somewhat proud.

This is a fourth-rank official position. Suika vaguely remembers that Liang Xun, the prefect of Shangshu, was only at this level.

She was actually quite proud of this. She didn't need to take any exams or ask for connections, yet the Great Yan was begging to give her a high-ranking position. If word got out, she'd probably make a lot of people jealous.

As for the fact that becoming an official of the Great Yan would prevent one from traveling to other countries, this was not a troublesome matter in Suika's eyes.

After all, the world's affairs, after a long period of unity, tend to divide; after a long period of division, tend to unite.

Who knows, Terra might one day take the surname Great Yan.

Besides, wasn't she given five years? After five years, her movement range being limited to the Great Yan wouldn't be much of a restriction for her.

What she cared about wasn't the first point, but the second.

This second point is essentially a supplement to the first point.

After all, she would be in the Great Yan region in five years. If the other party really asked her to do something, such as helping people in disaster areas, she couldn't just ignore it.

Therefore, it's quite clear that the Great Yan side would add this requirement.

If that guy who's been dozing off outside the Hundred Stoves for the past five years wakes up, Great Yan probably intends for him to confront him.

The fact that he had single-handedly destroyed High-Speed Battleship in Ursus was something that could not be kept secret and would likely soon spread to the high-ranking officials of various countries in Terra.

It's not surprising that the various spies and moles on both the Great Yan and Ursus sides knew about the situation at the time.

Therefore, this clearly shows that the Great Yan side wants him to be a powerful henchman in the future.

If it were someone else, unaware of the complexities of the Great Yan, they might not have agreed so readily.

But Suika is a person who thinks that since you, Great Yan, have already spoken frankly, why not explain things more clearly?

"You guys aren't planning to make me fight Sui one-on-one, are you?"
