Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

Laurentina raised her hand, and then watched a tiny crack gradually appear on the palm of her hand. The blood spread out from it as if it had come alive, and soon turned into a red three-dimensional picture that was constantly being constructed in her hand.

"Is this... a map of the surrounding area?"

[Laurentina, open the car window.]

"Okay~"

The car window was opened, and then Skadi watched the sapphire on Laurentina's chest gradually stand out, and finally fall completely between the latter's thighs as an eyeball.

However, soon, several cuts appeared on both sides of the eyeball, and wings like bat structures extended out from it.

Before Skadi could even see clearly, the "eyeball" turned into a shadow and rushed out of the car with a swish, and quickly climbed high into the sky.

"This is....."

[After all, I have become more and more proficient in flying recently. Now I can construct the miniature terrain map in my hand while flying.]

[I will fly with the land vehicle and keep updating the map in your hand. Skadi, you just need to press

Just follow the instructions above.]

[It will be much more convenient.]

"Oh, I know."

Skadi watched as Laurentina placed the "map" in her hand on the front seat of the vehicle. When she started the land vehicle, it was just as Zuo Jian said. The terrain was constantly updated, and the directions were also marked on it!

......The left room....so convenient!

This was the first time Skadi saw Zuo Jian's powerful versatility in this aspect...

But Zuo Jian himself didn't feel anything.

After all, the person who first came up with this idea was actually a doctor.

"I say, Zuo Jian, have you ever considered mimicking some of your flesh and blood into a bird or something like that and releasing it to use as a drone? That way, you can even avoid anti-aircraft fire."

Alas, Zuo Jian sighed unconsciously.

If it weren't for the Doctor, he didn't even know how long it would take for him to realize that he could still use his body in this way.

"Right, Zuojian."

But soon, Laurentina's voice brought him back to his senses.

[What's wrong.]

"Xiutina should be heading from the border area to the Iron Duke's mansion with that... high-speed battleship? That's what it's called. She shouldn't have any problems on the way, right?"

[That won’t happen. The Duke of Wellington would be very welcome to welcome that special “battleship” under so many eyes. It would also be a good opportunity for him to settle down Xiutina.]

"Ah That's good."

"But speaking of this, shouldn't you also tell me what you did?"

Laurentina leaned against the car window, looking at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window, and asked in a nonchalant manner.

Although she said before that it was okay not to tell her, but when I think about it carefully...it seems that the woman named Doctor is involved in these things! It is impossible not to care when I think about it this way!

[....Yes, at least I need to let you know what's happening right now, Laurentina.]

[About the area we are heading to now.]

[Well, that place used to belong to the territory of a man named Earl of Warwick, a standard earldom.]

"Well, then?"

[Then...then...]

[Now that territory will soon be mine.]

[Including the Earl of Warwick's title, inheritance, and his two adopted daughters, whom you should have seen. They are now adopted by me.]

".....Then what?"

[Gone. ]

"Oh."

[? ]

[Wait, wait, why aren't you surprised at all?]

Zuo Jian looked at Laurentina with some surprise, as well as Skadi who was concentrating on driving beside him.

strangeness.

He actually managed to get the title of earl without their knowledge.

Not some empty earl.

And the kind that has territory.

Why didn't Laurentina react at all?

Or....

[Laurentina, do you know anything about Victoria's title and dukedom?]

"? Why do you ask that?"

[.....]

"Well, let me think about it... the larger village planned by the people on the land? One that's slightly smaller than a city?"

Laurentina rubbed her chin and thought.

[....Okay, okay, that's how it is. Damn it, how developed are you in Agor to make you feel that a dukedom of a powerful Terran nation can only be compared with a village...]

Zuo Jian let out a long sigh. As expected, he almost forgot that Laurentina’s living environment was even better than before he traveled through time.

"It's not that great, it just completely solved the production problem. What's wrong? Could it be that the village you got, Zuojian... that dukedom is more developed than I thought? Or is it——"

[If nothing unexpected happens, it should be much worse than you imagined.]

"Really? I knew it. After all, you couldn't have taken over that area just for those boring things, right?"

[I guess so... If you were to live there permanently, would you be disgusted? After all, the conditions might be even worse than that small rental house in Londinium.]

“Why are you disgusted?”

Laurentina asked, blinking her red crystal eyes.

"Didn't I tell you that I will accompany you wherever you plan to go?"

[....Thank you, Naskadi...]

"Don't worry about the killer whale. No matter how bad you think the conditions are, they won't be worse than the environment when his captain takes her to train."

Left room:?

Skadi:?

(The event will start tonight, so we will update it earlier today. Everyone can see it earlier and join the event!

I wish you all a happy May Day and ten consecutive graduations!

Chapter 6, The First Threat? ?

"But then again, the wilderness, or suburbs, between the various mobile city blocks in Victoria are really huge."

Laurentina leaned against the window with one hand and sighed at the desolate scenery outside.

[If I'm not mistaken, the purpose of unifying the plains outside these cities is to allow their proud high-speed warships to travel quickly between the dukedoms... Maybe this is

Is this the current situation of the Terran nobles? They are not a monolithic entity. The reason for this design is probably to prevent external enemies, so that when one side is attacked, the surrounding dukes can quickly send reinforcements, but in reality...]

"Is it to make it easier to lend a helping hand, or to make it easier to show your fangs?"

[On the bright side, it's probably both.]

After listening to Zuo Jian's words, Laurentina withdrew her gaze from the wilderness outside. Her sharper vision than before allowed her to see the answer several meters away.

The tire tracks left by some high-speed warships can be seen even in places like this.

"The struggle of the land people.... is really..."

[It is better to say that this is what humans should be like, what most humans should be like. Those who can finally stay away from disputes are nothing more than those who rely on external forces or limit their scale... a very small number.]

Zuo Jian's voice gradually became softer, and then a voice so small that Laurentina could hardly hear it came from beside her.

[Dispute is something that is engraved into the genes of the human race. Even though their own body structure is obviously different from that of the original humans, they still cannot avoid similarities with them in this aspect...]

Laurentina:..........

"But you made your own choice, didn't you?"

[Yes, although the essence is similar, the sufferings in this land far exceed my imagination... I don't believe in fate, and I won't regard myself as a savior.]

[But I believe that everything has a reason. Now I am walking on this land in this posture, definitely not just to satisfy the expectation of an ordinary guy, with a mind full of desire for survival...]

Perhaps at some point, the gods received not only their own requests and desires, but also the cries of the creatures that were dying all the time on this earth.

There is no one who doesn't want to live.

So, the gods only responded to his own expectations. Does that mean he needs to bring hope to those immortal beings in this way?

But, but........

Even he was full of hesitation and worry about such a future.

It's not that Zuo Jian was unaware of the abnormality in his body, but it was becoming more and more obvious. At the beginning, when he said some weird words, he would feel the incongruity in the next moment. But now, he could subconsciously distinguish himself from humans and make some almost cold actions and words, and even subconsciously did not feel any incongruity. If... if it weren't for Laurentina, he might not have realized it many times, and then it became more and more serious.

To put it bluntly, she has already become an indispensable companion in this unknown journey.

He was worried that, being alone, how long would it take for him to become a pure monster who used the number of human lives as a measure of equality?

[Laurentina, you.....]

His tone had never been so uncertain and apprehensive as it was now.

The latter seemed to have noticed his strangeness a long time ago and spoke first.

"Didn't I tell you that no matter what you choose, I will always be with you, Zuojian."

"No matter how many times you ask me a similar question, my answer will always be 'I do.'"

The girl closed her eyes and supported her cheeks with her hands. She knew that if she did this, the other person would be able to feel the same touch, as if she was caressing the other person's cheek when she responded.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, except that the surrounding scenery was still moving backwards.

Skadi sat in the driver's seat and focused on the road conditions.

From the beginning, the conversation between Shark and Zuo Jian in the passenger seat gradually turned into something she could not understand at all. After listening quietly for a while, she realized that she really could not understand and focused all her attention on the lane in front of her.

.......

There seemed to be a pause, and Zuo Jian's voice lost its uneasy tone and returned to his usual parental tone when he spoke to Laurentina, but this time there was a hint of hesitation.

"I, didn't I tell you...Laurentina, the word 'I do' cannot be used casually. You have to know that it is..."

"Yes, yes, yes, I know. I will find a suitable occasion and tell the right person in the future. But your reaction, Zuojian...what? Are you blushing?"

Laurentina covered her mouth and spoke with a teasing expression.

[Why would I blush? I don’t even have the face to blush, or are you trying to trick me?]

"Hey, is it that obvious?"

[........But thank you anyway, Laurentina, I feel much better now......]

Zuo Jian was just about to say something else when the next moment, something strange happened!

The sight brought back by the pupil flying high in the sky was instantly shrouded in darkness, and a large number of roars and whispers sounded from the surroundings.

Countless negative emotions rushed towards me like a blowout, but then they all dispersed as if they had touched an untouchable barrier.

What...thing?

In a moment, left

I realized that I was dragged into the spiritual space, or the space of consciousness. At that moment, something was rushing towards me, carrying countless anger, sorrow, and pain, trying to tear my soul apart... and then... then it hit an invisible barrier and turned back wailing.

In an instant, so many things happened that he couldn't react. The moment the dark shadow with negative emotions was blocked by the barrier, he also began to escape from this space of consciousness.

What the hell is this.

Zuo Jian tried his best to open his eyes when he was about to escape. If his conscious body, that headless skeleton, did have a biological structure such as eyes, at least along with his thought of "opening his eyes", his vision was restored at the last moment, bringing him back the last thing he could see clearly.
