Arknights, but the sickly pretty girl starts

As someone who has been to Colombia and seen the world, Noah had to come to this conclusion.

Kjerag might not be ready yet—

In this situation, as the saint of Manzhuyuan and the religious leader of Kjerag, Miss Enya is not allowed to travel abroad at will.

"You're right, it's true... that's the case." Enya's hopes seemed to be dashed. Noah had been very tactful, but she was no fool and naturally understood what Noah meant. In her current position, it was indeed difficult for her to travel abroad casually, and naturally there was no way to visit Rhodes Island. However, she did not regret it for too long and began to ask Noah, "Is Sheila used to living here? Do you need me to bring you some blankets or something?"

"Well, your brother has made ample preparations. Besides, I just arrived and haven't even spent the night here." Noah shook his head. "You should at least let me spend a night here before you make a judgment, right?"

"Yeah, I'm anxious." Enya touched the tip of her nose, but since she had mentioned Enthyotis, her tone was a little hesitant. "Noya, are you familiar with him... too?"

Being able to call her brother like that, it seemed that this issue was quite acute. Noah couldn't help but start to worry. She didn't know what had happened, so she didn't say anything. Instead, she frankly described the business cooperation process between herself and Enshiodis, expressed their cooperative relationship, and explained that the opportunity was Enshia. Only then did her expression improve a little.

"I knew it. How could he possibly find a partner as talented as you, Noya? And it was Enshia who helped—" Enshia smiled, a delightful laugh. But Noya was also keenly aware that she'd been paying attention to all the details surrounding her collaboration with Enshiodis. So... could tsundereness be hereditary? Then why didn't Enshia inherit it? Is Enshia the only angel among these three siblings?

"If you want to say that, it was indeed Enxia who helped to connect us, but - he did help me a lot. I was able to achieve that level in Casimir, and it was partly due to his help."

Noah was still very grateful to Enthiotis. The two of them were indeed very compatible partners, and they were both gambler-type entrepreneurs. It had to be said that both of them were all-in players, and they took the path of higher risks, higher rewards.

To be honest, if Enya said this, her impression of herself would probably become worse.

"Enya?" Just as the two were chatting happily, Ya'er's figure came from outside. "It's almost time for dinner. Are you guys done talking?"

"Almost done," Enya responded quickly, but clearly still a little unsatisfied, so she added softly, "Come sit down next time. I have something else I want to ask you."

Speaking of which, although most of the time he was asking about Enshia, it was obvious that when Enshiodis was mentioned, his emotions fluctuated more. It seemed that these two siblings still cared about each other.

As an only child with only Margaret as her friend, she honestly envied the quarrels between siblings like Enthyoides and Enya.

The only person he could argue with was Margaret, and the two of them had only had one argument since they were young.

In a sense, quarreling is proof of a good relationship, at least that's what Noah thinks - if you can quarrel with your loved ones, doesn't it also mean that both of you actually care about each other?

But one shouldn't try to persuade others to be kind without first experiencing their suffering. Noah wasn't stupid, so he couldn't just start manipulating the two of them into reconciliation. He had to at least investigate the reason for their quarrel. As for how to investigate, he would definitely ask Enshiya, who was about to return. If his time was correct, Enshiya should be on the train by now.

But I guess I won’t be able to make it in time for lunch…

Yelagund, page 1, line 1.

“His tears are ice that never melts, his back is an indestructible rock, his breath is the cold wind of winter, and his smile is the warm sun of spring.”

"When He awakens, the mountains will signal His resurrection, and the sky will be filled with multicolored auroras."

-

Noya had read this religious text before arriving in Kjerag, and admittedly found the content lacking in originality, with the hymns somewhat awkwardly written. However, it's clear that Kjerag's faith in Yelagund is like his faith in the mountain. Noya didn't deny Yelagund's existence, but rather believed the descriptions were essentially of the sacred mountain at various stages, as all these things and elements were, after all, descriptions of the mountain.

Perhaps Yelagund is this holy mountain?

Or rather, Yelagund has a body as majestic as a mountain?

Noya didn't know, but if Yelagund really existed—

Then she must be extremely attached to this land, which is why she has taken root here and never left.

Chapter 6: Prayer

While everyone here was having fun, Enthiotis was under pressure.

To be precise, it was an idea that was put forward at the three-tribe meeting, an idea that seemed extremely crazy, but it really could not be described as "arrogant".

Because of the railway construction and illegal mining charges, he was willing to surrender his territory, not to the other two families, but to Manzhuyuan. In the religiously charged nation of Kjerag, such a move was truly speechless. Although everyone knew the man before them had no such intentions, since he had said so, Manzhuyuan had no reason to refuse.

However, the positions of the other two families suddenly became precarious - after all, one of the three major families has begun to swear allegiance to Manzhuyuan, what about you two?

It's not that you can't bear to part with it, right?

Moreover, in this situation, when Enthiotis's faith was questioned, Enthiotis also began to recite the contents of "Yeragund".

"In the beginning, Kjerag was inhabited only by a band of wild men, until he lifted his head from the mountains."

Not only did he recite it, but he also caused the nobles present to recite it collectively, as if they were proving to each other how many times they had read "Yeragond".

"He took human form and lived with the wildlings. The wildlings feared his power and revered him as a god."

"More and more people gathered around Him, and thus, Kjerag was born, and He was the first king of Kjerag."

"Under His leadership, Kjerag flourished and grew ever more prosperous."

Enthiotis had completely mastered the situation. In a place like this, Yelagund's will was everything, and the three great families were merely managing the three families of Kjerag on Yelagund's behalf. Therefore, they had no way of refuting Enthiotis's words.

"...Aktos, tell me, what's written on the first line of page 321?" Enthiodis naturally would not let them go. He asked the tall man who was most disgusted with him, Aktos said.

"...After He ruled the kingdom for three hundred years, one day, He suddenly passed the throne to His deputy and disappeared in the snowstorm."

"Thus, Sherag was handed over to someone else." Latatos added the next sentence, but the expressions of the two family heads were very bad. They didn't expect that they would be defeated by Enthiotis in the end and the pressure would be returned to their heads.

"Everyone, we are all Kjerag, we are all his people." Enthiotis smiled. "As I said before—if there is one person who can decide our actions, that person will not be me, not you, and not Latatos."

Enthyodis glanced at the crowd and said, "This person must be His spokesperson, the Saint."

-

"A-choo..." Enya, who was still entertaining Noya, suddenly sneezed. She looked in the direction of the house where the three-tribe council was being held with a puzzled look, then looked at Yaer, and sighed after Yaer shrugged.

"...What's wrong?" Noah keenly noticed that Enya's mood had suddenly become heavy, as if she had encountered trouble, and asked curiously. "Did something happen?"

"Nothing, just... I guess that guy has caused me some trouble again." Before Enya finished speaking, she saw a hurried messenger coming to the door of the reception room, and behind the messenger, an old ancestor appeared there.

"...Great Elder." Enya had of course seen the Great Elder arrive and had a rough idea of ​​his purpose. She said apologetically to Noya, who was still eating, "I have something to do later. Miss Noya, after lunch, you can ask Ya'er to take you shopping. Ya'er will cover all expenses. Excuse me."

"If you have official business, that's fine. Have a safe trip." Noah nodded, not minding Enya's departure.

As Enya followed the Great Elder away, Noah asked Yaer, "She looks troubled."

"Yes. After all, she's a saint, trusted by others, so naturally she needs to think more." Ya'er responded. "The situation in Kjerag is already complicated, and with Enya's special status, it's only natural that she's worried."

"But didn't you say that everything Kjerag has was given by Yelagund? The Saint should have absolute say?" Noya asked curiously, "Then?"

"You're wrong. It's not the Saint who has absolute say. It's Manzhuyuan... or rather, the [Yelagunde] behind Manzhuyuan who has absolute say." Ya'er shook her head. "That's a huge difference."

"...Indeed, I underestimated the nature of faith itself." Noah then realized that his words might have been a bit naive. It was no wonder. Casimir didn't believe in gods, Columbia was a technological capital, and Rhodes Island had never relied on any gods or emperors. For Noah, his understanding of faith was still too superficial.

"Enya is Enthiotis's sister. If she were to lean towards Enthiotis's opinion... it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the other two families. Even with the title of Saint, they would not sit idly by. To be honest, if it was Enthiotis who asked Enya to arbitrate this time, it would really cause Enya a big trouble." Noah sighed, and he understood Enya's current troubles.

On one side is blood ties, and on the other side is the neutrality of the saint.

She probably can only try to smooth things over...

"If you want to know what the three tribes' meeting was about, I can take you to see it." Seeing that Noya seemed very interested, Ya'er said, "Of course, you can only listen secretly and not be discovered."

"...Isn't this bad?" Noya was curious, but she felt it wasn't a good idea for an outsider like her to hear about this kind of meeting, so she quickly shook her head. "I'm just an outsider. Guests shouldn't get involved in conflicts between hosts. That's the proper way to be a guest."

"That's right, but I was just joking." Ya'er nodded with a smile. "However, you are a guest of the Shivaash family. This identity itself may have made you a target of the other two families."

"Well... I'll just go on vacation." Noah smiled vaguely. With Kuro by her side, she really didn't worry about anything.

Moreover, if Enchiodis really asked her for help, she couldn't really turn a blind eye... Although she didn't want to get involved in muddy waters, she was a person who valued friendship after all.

"May Yelagund bless this land." She recited the prayer according to the ritual, not noticing that Yaer's expression beside her had become extremely subtle.

written request for leave

I've been working non-stop for a month, so I'm taking a break today. By the way, the temperature has dropped significantly today... Everyone, please keep warm, I've caught a cold.

From twenty degrees to nine degrees...is this really a normal rate of cooling?

I confess that I shouldn't have slept with the window open.

There will be four updates as normal the day after tomorrow, that’s all!

By the way, do you think it would be more fun to kidnap the Saint or to kidnap both of SilverAsh’s sisters?

Thinking about it, even I want to kidnap Moxi... To be honest, it's really cute.

Anyway, the first snow must turn, and it must turn hard.

Hey.

As for the lifelong regret of the Knight of Glory - she still has a storyline and has not completely disappeared.

After all, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing as long as Noah was in danger.

Look forward to it and hold on to hope.jpg

Chapter 7: Three-Tribe Talks

As Nuoya expected, Enya was indeed troubled by the mess her brother had handed her, but she couldn't refuse. After all, the Great Elder's intention was clear. Although Manzhuyuan's status was already very transcendent, no one would complain about not having enough power. So, as the Saint of Manzhuyuan, she had no reason to refuse this opportunity - although as Enya, she would rather not...

It was too troublesome, so troublesome that Enya felt like vomiting. To be honest, she didn't like the open and secret struggles between families, but her brother always dragged her into this bottomless abyss. But unfortunately... she was the saint of Manzhuyuan, and she had to consider Kjerag and Manzhuyuan.

Position is more important than anything else, especially the position of the saint.

Originally, I was in a very good mood, especially after seeing Noah, whom Enxia often talked about. I really felt that this girl was attractive in herself. She was well-spoken, knowledgeable, and knew how to behave when communicating with others. Don't underestimate this. Being tactful in a conversation is very important. In fact, many people don't know how to maintain propriety when communicating, which makes others angry or disgusted.

But Noah is like a worm in your stomach. Even if you are just a little dissatisfied with the topic, she seems to be able to perceive it keenly and then change the subject.

Who wouldn't like a girl who doesn't touch your sensitive spots at all and speaks in an interesting way? What's more, she's a great beauty.

Communicating with Noya was a real pleasure, at least much better than listening to the three family heads nagging and complaining over there. However, Enya didn't show any impatience on her face. As a saint, she had to be reserved, preferably expressionless or smiling. If she showed any bias, it would cause dissatisfaction among others.

It's like walking a tightrope...

What's even more troublesome is that these people are not stupid and they all know what to do better, but they will still refute each other for their own interests. For example, the existence of Kalan Trade has indeed helped Kjerag, increased Kjerag's foreign exchange income and provided a large number of jobs, but the only one who has made a lot of money from it is the Shivaash family, which obviously will not satisfy the other two families.

Of course, if we put ourselves in their shoes, if Shivaash is the only one in power, then the other two should be worried.

As for offending the railway in Yelagund... that's just an excuse. The current situation is like this, clear and obvious.

Enya knew that her brother saw it clearly, so he used her as a shield. After all, Manzhuyuan had no idea how to manage the territory - in the end, the power would still return to his hands.

It's very clever, but also very... troublesome.

Especially the matter of transferring the pressure to myself. If this wasn't a public place, I would use my own holy bell to teach my brother what reason is.

"Why are you staring at me, Saint? Have I offended you in any way?" This guy not only didn't back down, he even went out of his way to talk to her. Enya was immediately furious and said in a rather sarcastic tone.

"Lord Enchiodis has been so busy with his duties that I've neglected to visit you. I almost forgot what you look like."

"...Your Highness, you're joking." Enchiodis didn't seem angry, but instead countered, "Your Highness requested an investigation of the valley and the mining area, and I naturally dared not neglect it. These matters haven't been resolved yet, so how could I dare appear before Her Highness? Once everything is concluded, I will personally lead the team to pay homage to the Holy Mountain."

"Your faith in Yelagund is evident to all, so why resort to violence to prove it?"

"No, no, no. Although Yelagunde must be revered in the heart, actual action is essential. Otherwise, how can one dare to call oneself a believer? Isn't that right, Saint Lady?"

"...Never mind. I heard that one of your sisters returned to Kjerag?" Enya knew she couldn't win the argument, so she simply changed the subject and started asking about Enshia, seemingly asking about something she already knew the answer to.

"The Saint Lady is well-informed. She should be on her way to the Holy Mountain with the distinguished guests."

"Distinguished guests?" Enya was a little surprised. She had thought the distinguished guests were Noya. It looked like Enshia had brought some people with her. She wondered if these distinguished guests were good or bad for Kjerag.

"Indeed. My sister had been receiving treatment for her oripathy at a medical company called Rhodes Island. With the grand ceremony approaching, I invited one of the company's leaders to visit Kjerag as a token of my gratitude."

"...It's admirable that Lord Enchiodis cares so much about his sister." As soon as these words came out, the other two families couldn't hold back their laughter. They had been able to hold back their laughter before, but after this funny conversation, the two family heads who knew the relationship between the two had begun to twitch their lips.

"...Your Excellency, the Saint is too kind." Ensiódis, who had remained calm until then, felt helpless after hearing these words. He could only change the subject again. "Your Excellency, the Saint must have understood my proposal. What do you think of it?"

"..." Wouldn't this put pressure on me? Enya knew she couldn't just agree to this. Even though the Great Elder meant it, how would she save face for the other two families if she agreed? So she looked at the other two families and asked, "What do Lord Actos and Lady Latatos think?"

"My faith in Yelagund is known to all, even to the Saint Lady, who is the mediator between our three families—" Actos, who considered himself the most steadfast in his faith in Yelagund, naturally expressed his loyalty. However, Latatos, beside him, was in a state of distress. She tried to stop Actos, but was too late. "—Even if I hand over the position of head of this family to the Saint Lady, what's the harm?"

"...Where is Lady Latatos?" Enya also felt a little regretful. After saying this...Latatos had no way out.

She could only glare at the brainless bear and then nodded.

"Having Her Majesty serve as the mediator between the three major families is indeed the best option for the current situation—"

"I understand." Fortunately, the power transfer returned to mediation, but no matter what the result was, the situation was firmly under the control of Enthiotis.

The previous idea of ​​depriving Shivaash of his land and dividing it has come to nothing.

"Since the three family heads are willing to trust me, then I, the Saint of Manzhuyuan, will naturally not shirk this responsibility--" Enya sighed secretly. Latatos is indeed powerful, but Actos is too easily instigated, especially when his faith is doubted, he will naturally act impulsively.

This impulse... is too easy to be exploited.

Chapter 8: Can’t I kill you with my bare hands?

"Now that things have been decided... then from now on, our three families will need to visit more often. After all, we can't leave a mess for the Saint Lady."
