Arknights is too real, right?

The life in the East Kingdom is peaceful and comfortable. Xia Feng's sword outside the city wall of Londinium seems to have cut off his past and opened up another life.

However, even if some things seem to be cut off in two, they are still closely connected.

This not only refers to the feelings or bonds between people, but also the traces of their past existence and the chain reactions caused.

Just like Lapland said, sometimes, killing does not require any magnificent and justifiable reasons. Sometimes, existence itself is a threat.

Even if you want to silence the ruins, the traces of their past cannot be erased at the same time.

Terra Calendar 1094, Victoria Empire.

Half a year has passed since the end of the Dark Ages, and the entire country has entered early autumn.

The immediate happiness always makes it easy for people to forget the unbearable memories. As ordinary people, what people care about most is always the present. Under the leadership of the new king Vina, the entire country is peaceful.

Once upon a time, Victoria was a land of two deep-seated inequalities.

1. The conflict between ordinary people and infected people.

Second, the status hierarchical suppression of nobles and commoners.

But now, these two "lesions" that have existed for hundreds of years have been completely removed, and everyone in the entire country is equal.

There are no more privileged nobles. Whether they are infected or ordinary people, they can use diligence and hard work to fight for the life they want.

Londinium City, Royal Palace.

In the empire's highest-level royal meeting room, Vina wore a golden crown and a golden dress, holding a document in her hand to read.

On both sides of Vina, the Imperial Finance Minister, the newly appointed Imperial Inspector General, and a group of senior officials accompanied her solemnly.

After a long time, Wei Na looked away from the document and said with a complicated expression.

"Nancy, isn't this a huge loss for the chamber of commerce? Why don't you change it back?"

Nancy, who was sitting opposite, smiled and shook her head.

"His Majesty."

"Hey, please don't call me Your Majesty. This is not a public occasion."

Nancy smiled with relief. In fact, in terms of relationship, she and Vina were much closer than most people knew.

Her brother Nanfeng is now the chief of military affairs of the empire. At the same time, Nanfeng is Weina's half-brother. In other words, she and Weina are the same brother.

Of course, Nancy and Nanfeng are not related by blood, but Nanfeng is closer to her than his own sister.

So in theory, she can also call Wei Na sister, but Nancy prefers to call Wei Na sister-in-law, because in her heart, Xia Feng is also her brother.

This relationship may seem a bit messy, but Nancy has never been a conservative and old-school person.

To put it bluntly, in her mind's ranking of intimacy, Nan Feng is greater than Xia Feng and Wei Na.

Therefore, if Xia Feng can marry Wei Na, Wei Na will automatically become her sister-in-law, instead of Xia Feng becoming her brother-in-law.

Back to topic.

All the officials in the conference room held their breath, waiting for Nancy's answer.

At this time, Nancy, who was the honorary president of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, was not nervous at all, and she explained generously.

"Vina, this is what everyone at Black Feather and I have decided unanimously to reduce the Chamber of Commerce's own profits to a minimum and make every effort to ensure the interactivity of goods from the north to the south. Only when trade liquidity becomes higher can the country's overall tax revenue increase."

"But this way, I'm afraid it won't even cover the transportation costs."

Nancy shook her head.

"The cost problem is only temporary. Believe me, I am not trying to be brave. As long as the popularity of my country's unique products in the country increases, neighboring countries can realize its high quality. If we want to make money, we do not make money from our own country. We only Making money from foreigners is the purpose of our Black Feather Chamber of Commerce."

After hearing these words, the officials in the conference room showed admiration.

Sacrifice one's own immediate interests and focus on the future international market. This pattern is really admirable.

Among the crowd, only Wei Na sighed softly.

"Did he leave this purpose behind before he left?"

Nancy whispered back knowing who "he" Vina was talking about.

"The boss didn't say it, but we all know that if he was still here, he would definitely decide this way."

Wei Na's eyes were dim and she lowered her head slightly.

"It's been half a year and there's still no news about him."

As a woman, Nancy understood Weina's mood very well. Seeing the loss that Weina tried her best to hide, she wanted to go over and hug her.

But on this occasion, Nancy could only sigh.

"not yet."

Seeing that the atmosphere was inexplicably heavy, Nancy coughed lightly, and then smiled heartily.

"Don't worry, Weina. The boss is definitely still alive. With his character, he might be living happily in any country."

As if recalling something, Wei Na pursed her lips and smiled.

"I know that he will definitely not die. Just like when we said goodbye to him in Mandel City, we all thought he was dead, but one day inadvertently, he appeared in front of me again. Not only that, he also Help me protect my hometown."

"Yeah, so Vina, be happy."

"Yeah, I know."

"Okay, that's it for the regulations on trade between the north and the south. You must be very busy, so don't worry about us. I will take everyone back to the south in the afternoon. I will come see you when I have time."

Veena stood up.

"Why don't Turtle and the others play in Londinium for a few more days? I haven't had dinner with you yet."

Nancy, wearing a dignified business suit, stood up from the conference table.

"Oh, don't bother. We are all our own. Turtle and Ifrit are worried that Xiao Mo and Xiao Fengche at home will be hungry after being out for so long."

There was some inexplicable loneliness in Weina's eyes. Once upon a time, she could visit that barbecue restaurant as she pleased, but now that she is in a high position, she can no longer control everything.

"Okay then, I will have the Royal Knights escort you out of the city in the afternoon."

"Really don't bother, we can just drive back by ourselves, that's it, bye."

After walking out of the royal meeting room, Nancy had just passed a corner of the corridor when a cup of milk tea was immediately handed to her.

Seeing the familiar face in front of her who was wearing a military uniform, with gold epaulettes and a golden star, Nancy took the milk tea with a look of disgust.

"Brother, why are you here?"

General Nanfeng took off his hat and said with a playful smile.

"I heard that you are going back to the south this afternoon. Didn't I come here from the military headquarters to see you?"

"Tch, what's there to see?"

Afterwards, the two of them walked outside the palace and chatted.

"Nancy, when I was reviewing military district documents last night, I suddenly sneezed. At that time, I immediately thought, you must be talking about me, right?"

Nancy rolled her eyes.

"If you stop feeling good about yourself, who will have time to talk about you."

"Oh, if it wasn't you, it must be that guy Xia Feng. Hey, I don't know where that guy is hanging out now, and there's no news at all."

After walking out of the palace gate, Nancy took a few sips of the milk tea in her hand and then put it back into Nanfeng's hand.

"Hurry up and get back to work. You, the dignified military chief of the empire, why are you running around like a communications soldier?"

"No, I've arranged all my work, and I'm going to take you to eat later."

Nancy put her hands on her hips.

"I'm not a child. Who needs you to take me to eat? Say no more. Bye."

"Hey, wait a minute."

Nanfeng caught up a few steps, his expression suddenly awkward, as if he wanted to ask but didn't dare.

"That Nancy."

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have a fart, say it quickly."

Sighing, Nanfeng asked tentatively.

"What I want to say is, your wedding with Tang Hua hasn't been held yet."

Nancy turned around and looked at the bustling and bustling city outside the palace.

"I said at the beginning that I would invite my boss to Tang Hua and I's wedding. If he doesn't come back to attend, I will wait until he shows up to hold it, hum."
