Longmen Memoirs

Chen Mo answered loudly.

"It's a blessing for me to see you here again. I never thought that you would come here with Rhode Island in person. To be honest, I was very nervous before coming to Kazdale and couldn't confirm the card. Whether Zdel is willing to assist the infected group in Ursus, but your appearance makes me feel a lot more at ease."

"Is that right?"

"Of course." Chen Mo nodded: "I know what I have done in Kazdale. Maybe you are right. I did make some contributions to Sakaz and this land, but doing these things It's not just me, nor is it just me. The only thing I have done for Sakaz is to stand by your side, stand by their side, and fight alongside them as an outsider. This has always been my My pleasure."

He said: "But for Kazdaele, I am not the indispensable one, and for you, I am not the irreplaceable one. There are many people in this land, and they are far more important than the I am better and know more than me, and to you and Kazdaele, they are the most valuable asset, and they are the people you and Kazdaele need most."

He looked at Theresia.

"So Your Highness, there is no need for you to worry about me. I have done what I can for Sakaz and Kazdel, and the current result is the best for me." Chen Mo revealed Smile: "If I really stayed, I might not be able to do what I want to do like I am now, so it's not your fault, Your Highness, it never has been, and if it wasn't for leaving Kazdaele, I probably wouldn't be able to do it either. Don’t know who to ask for help like you do now.”

Chen Mo's eyes fell on the white-haired princess. At this moment, to him, Thearesia in front of him was just Theresia, an ordinary Sakaz.

She is no longer the monarch that the Sarkazis longed for, nor is she the Demon King of Babel.

"Your Highness, do you remember that before I left Kazdaele, I told you that even though we left Kazdaele, left the Tower of Babel, and stepped down from our duties, we are still friends, just Theresa and Chen Mo."

"I thought we had always been friends. Ever since I met you Chen Mo on the way to evacuate, I thought we had been friends from then on."

"But I remember you always called me sir."

"Mr. Chen Mo?" Theresia asked deliberately.

"That's it."

"Would you rather be called that?"

"I always feel that Your Highness, you suddenly didn't add these two words, which makes me a little uncomfortable."

"Ah, I thought this would sound more friendly. After I started calling her Ms. Kelsey, even though he was not used to it like you, I think she was still quite happy. .”

"Ms. Kelsey."

Chen Mo made no comments.

"Kelsey is indeed a bit...not good at words." Theresia said after considering it.

Not good at words...

Chen Mo couldn't open his mouth to refute, because in his eyes, it was impossible that Kelsey was a person who was not good at words only in Theresia's eyes, but in fact, other people who had contact with Kelsey, including Chen Mo, I think Kelsey is actually a bit mean and bitter.

At least Hedley and Ines both understand it deeply. As for W, she seems to have never been able to get along well with Kelsey, probably because of Theresia. There are always various differences between Miss W and Kelsey. In all kinds of disputes due to personal reasons, the former is often the loser, and most of the former don't like to learn lessons.

"So, Mr. Chen Mo, have you found that very important friend of your childhood?"

Theresia looked at Chen Mo, her hands slightly behind her back. The tall Sakaz stood in front of Chen Mo. She was slightly shorter than Chen Mo by half a head, so when the distance was closer, she would slightly raise her head. , so Chen Mo could easily see his own reflection in those clear and clean rose-red eyes.

He could also see more clearly Theresia's delicate face and the slight embarrassment in her expression, and seemingly on purpose, she added "Mr." after the word "Chen Mo".

Chen Mo likes Theresia like this. Compared with Her Highness who is looked up to as a leader, Chen Mo prefers the current Theresia. The lightness and little bad taste she occasionally shows are almost familiar in the Tower of Babel. The higher-ups in the company knew about Theresa's side, but almost everyone was deliberately condoning her occasional laziness.

As the monarch of Sakaz, she has sacrificed too much for her ideals and this responsibility. Compared with Theresia, the princess is more in need of the Sakaz, but if she is just Theresia herself, in the In her eyes, does she long to live the life she wants?

Chen Mo knew that there was probably some.

Even if it is a fantasy.

But Miss Wildcat also longed for unfettered freedom and yearned to live as she pleased. But in fact, when two lives were presented in front of them, they would often make opposite choices, and the same was true in reality.

Chen Mo suddenly found that he seemed to think of Wei Na more and more easily.

After being separated for a long time, he seemed to start to miss the short-lived indifference in the past that he mistakenly thought he had gradually become accustomed to. Now that he thinks about it, it turns out that the days he had at that time were actually the days he hopes for most now.

"Your Highness has already guessed it." Chen Mo shook off the thoughts that surged in his mind.

"But I remember Chen Mo, you never told me her name."

"Tallulah." Chen Mo said, paused and then added: "She is an infected person, an infected person from Ursus."

"So, you want Kazdaele's help because of her."

"I found her on the tundra in northern Ursus. At that time, she had led a group of tundra-infected people for several years. Ever since she became an infected person and was rescued by the villagers, she She has been doing this kind of thing, relying on entangled with the infected people picket team in Ursus, and connecting the infected people all over the tundra." Chen Mo said: "From the moment I saw the infected people she led, I knew that I couldn't take her away. She wanted to take the infected people south, close to the city group of Ursus, to seek more survival resources in the southern land, but they were a group of infected people after all, and Ursus Sars's treatment of infected people is the most harsh and ruthless among many countries. I also met a Wendigo there, Bodracasti, now called Patriot, who is Froststar's adoptive father."

Chen Mo knew that Wendigo had regrets in his heart, and he understood those feelings, so this time he went above and beyond to repay the patriot for everything he had done for Tallulah, which Chen Mo felt he should do.

"Bozokasti..." Theresia whispered the name, a flash of memory flashed in her eyes: "I remember this name, and I still remember the scene when he took the tribe away from Kazdaele. , no wonder I felt a little familiar when I saw that girl, is he also infected with Originium Disease?"

"It's been some time since I talked to him." Chen Mo said, "Although Bozhuo Kasti didn't mention it to me directly, I could tell that he felt guilty for leaving with his tribe, and he still recognized it. You are the lord of all Sarkarz, but now he has a new homeland..."

"yes."

Theresia was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Can you please convey a message to him for me, Chen Mo, just say that I understand and respect the choice of the Wendigos back then, and I also feel sorry for Kaz during the civil strife. Dale is understandable for not giving up hope. The fault is not theirs but mine. They don’t have to feel guilty. If the Wendigo is willing to come back one day, Kazdale will not refuse any Sakaz.”

"I'll pass it on for you."

"Thank you."

"... From their standpoint, I hope that Kazdale can help them, because their ideas have no conflict with Kazdale, and they may even become Kazdale's allies in the future."

Chen Mo said, then changed his words: "But from Kazdaele's point of view, I must tell you honestly, it may not have any effect, and even if this matter is exposed, it will cause Ursus to attack Kazdaele." hostility to the point of possible conflict.”

"What about your personal perspective, Mr. Chen Mo?"

"From my personal perspective."

Chen Mo took half a step back slightly. He looked at Theresia in front of him. Under Theresia's gaze, he gradually bent his straight back.

"On a personal level, I ask...please you and Kazdaele to help them."

At this moment, he was just a member of the Ursus infected team, coming to a country to plead for their help. Although he could not deny that he was indeed a member of this country, nor could he deny that he and Theresia the relationship between.

Public and private.

Chapter 72 Most people and things become memories in the future

I occasionally think of Longmen, the city that I love and hate, the strange summer day I saw when I opened my eyes for the first time, and the unfamiliar faces of the man and woman. It was me in the mirror at that time. Reflecting on it when I was young, I almost thought this was another absurd and funny dream.

But after so many years, it never woke up until the lonely light snow when it left Longmen.

So I gradually accepted this bizarre fact.

I have some indescribable feelings for that city. For a long time, I had unrealistic and extravagant hopes for it. Later, this extravagant hope finally faded away as reality gradually changed.

Therefore, I naturally resent Longmen, resent its indifference, resent it for giving me hope but ruthlessly taking it away, resent Longmen for being too indifferent to me, resent that beautiful and prosperous city. To be stingy enough to tolerate a small and humble soul like me.

This created my foresight and hesitation character later on.

But as I complained more and more about Longmen, and as I gradually settled down in this strange world, and as the days passed and returned to Longmen, I found that my complaints against it became more and more. few.

Maybe he has accepted the reality.

And maybe while I resented Longmen, I actually ignored that deep down in my heart I still loved that city, the people there, and the past that I had left behind in that Longmen that was hard to let go of.

Those faces, those past events.

Just imagine if Longmen disappears from this world one day, I will really become a homeless person. Just imagine if Longmen is never seen again, where will I go when I am wandering on this land.

I haven’t had it since I lost my home.

But if I insist on finding a home on this land, the only thing I can think of is the magnificent and prosperous Longmen City that I haven't seen for many years. Things have changed and people have changed, and it no longer belongs to me.

I think I still miss it, but I no longer hope to be a member of it like I did when I was a child, but I miss the memories it has given me, the not-so-good deeds and experiences in my memory. People and things that have long become blurry and difficult to recall.

The cemetery in my memory that I hadn’t seen for many years, the chaotic resettlement camp that was long gone in my memory, the orphanage that was far away in my memory, and the small swing under the tall oak tree.

To me, these are the Longmen City that remain in my heart.

June 1093, 3, Crystalline Era

10:15A.M/Weather: Sunny

The huge land cruiser in the field of vision was moving away, with roar and vibration, heading towards the end of the wilderness, until it gradually disappeared under the clear sky.

Shuangxing still felt a little unbelievable as she held the agreement that she saw Theresia sign with her own eyes.

In fact, when the agreement was signed, Shuangxing was sitting on one of the seats in the Rhode Island conference room. Apart from her, the only people in the conference room who witnessed the signing of the agreement were Chen Mo, Theresia, and Kelsey.

It was even duller than Froststar imagined.

You must know that before coming, she had made various preparations, including being rejected and prevaricated, but the result was far from what she imagined.

This is a good thing.

Of course it was a good thing. The only thing that surprised Froststar was that when the agreement was signed, it was her own name and Tallulah's name that she wrote on her behalf.

"I come to sign?"

She looked at Theresia and Kelsey sitting opposite in surprise. When Chen Mo pushed the file to her desk, she hesitantly turned her eyes to Chen Mo again.

"As the most senior member of the camp, you are more qualified to sign this document than me." Chen Mo said.

"But……"

"I have discussed it with His Highness. Furthermore, for some reasons, my name is not suitable to appear in the official documents of the Kazdai people. And due to position considerations, you are more suitable than me." Chen Mo explained, " It's just a name, it doesn't mean anything."

Froststar finally accepted the offer.

She took the pen and unfolded the agreement document.

“Where do I sign?”

"end."

"here?"

"Correct."

Chen Mo watched Shuangxing write his name in Ursusian at the bottom of the document, and then wrote Tallulah's name on the side, which made him particularly famous as the signer.

The document was made in two copies, stipulating the content of the agreement in Kazdaer and Ursus languages, including the list of supplies provided by both parties, the date and matters of the agreement, as well as the subsequent responsibilities and obligations that need to be performed.

Shuangxing looked at it very carefully. She really wasn't a person who liked to study in writing, so the delay was longer. This was probably because she didn't expect to sign the document herself.

It's incredible to say.

It seemed that after getting along with Chen Mo for a long time, even Shuangxing himself subconsciously handed over the decision-making power to Chen Mo. This was out of a kind of trust and also out of unfamiliarity with Kazdel.

But she obviously didn't realize this.

As if he noticed that he wasted too much time, Shuangxing quickly wrote down his name, put down the pen and pushed the document to Chen Mo, turning his head and focusing on him.

"This should be okay?"

Chen Mo took the document and looked at the two signatures on it and closed it.

"That's enough." He said, looking at Theresia, and stood up: "Please allow me to express my most sincere gratitude to Kazdel and you on behalf of the infected people waiting in Ursus and Tallulah. "

Shuangxing also hurriedly stood up.

She didn't repeat Chen Mo's words, she just kept moving like him.

Theresa nodded.

She stood up.

"I also ask Mr. Chen Mo to bring my greetings to the Ursus-infected people."

Chen Mo held his outstretched hand.

"of course."

Chen Mo let go of his hand, but Theresia did not let go.

She sighed softly and looked at Chen Mo with a little regret in her eyes.

"I didn't expect to say goodbye to Chen Mo so soon. I feel a little reluctant to say goodbye. I want to keep you for a while longer. Can't you really stay in Rhode Island for a few more days?"

There was hope in her eyes, and the kind of hope that fell on her made people couldn't bear to refuse.

Shuangxing looked over in surprise, her lips moved, but she turned her gaze slightly and did not say anything.

"There will be a chance to meet again in the future, Your Highness."

“Then will you come to Kazdale to see me?”

She asked suddenly, and Chen Mo couldn't help but look at Shuangxing out of the corner of his eye. After noticing that she had tilted her head, she felt more at ease.

"Will do."

"Really?"
