People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 648: Rhode Island Human Trafficking Business

The doctor's words startled Vina:

"I'm not the one to answer? Why?"

"Vina, why do you think you have to define Victoria?" the doctor asked back.

"I am the crown prince of Victoria." Vina answered subconsciously.

The Doctor was silent.

Vina was shocked and realized that her words were a bit abrupt, so she stopped talking quickly.

The atmosphere in the room was stagnant until a sneer broke the silence.

"You Victorians always decorate yourselves with false civilization and interests." Manfred said bluntly, "I am surprised by your status as the crown prince, but what surprises me even more is that you are obviously proud of it in your heart, but you still suppress this emotion and pretend to be happy with the people.

Since you want to shoulder the responsibility of a king, but you put on this false gesture of benevolence, don't you think it's too ridiculous?"

Vina glared at Manfred and argued:

"I never deny my identity and responsibility, but I will never rule my people with violence like you Sarkaz do."

"Violence?" Manfred seemed to have heard a huge joke, "Is this what you think of the Sarkaz?

The two princes of the Sarkaz never use their own military force, nor do they need to use their own military force to lead the Sarkaz. On the contrary, you guys wearing civilized clothes, the change of regime is always accompanied by the overthrow of military force.

You feel guilty about the Steam Knights, but I can only say that you have seen too little. Throughout history, countless countries and groups have experienced ups and downs, and the fall of the Steam Knights is just one of the most common epitomes."

Vina gritted her teeth and looked angry at what Manfred said.

Klovicia frowned and said:

"General Sarkaz, I hope you can understand your identity. You are just our prisoner."

Manfred was not afraid at all, and even looked at Clovisia provocatively:

"So what? Are you going to use death or torture to make me surrender, or are you going to use your ideals to influence me like you did with the Sarkaz around you?"

Clovisia pursed her lips and turned to look at the Doctor.

In fact, she didn't quite understand what the doctor's plan was in capturing this Sarkaz general.

The doctor didn't say anything, but Klosher beside him counted on her fingers and smiled:

"It doesn't really matter whether it's ideal or not. I think General Manfred has such a special identity that he should be able to fetch a good price."

The doctor rolled his eyes and said:

"He's not a girl, how can he be sold?"

"Qi Yan doesn't just take girls. Don't forget that big golden retriever Dosores." Kluchil's smile gradually became excited. "And as far as I know, Qi Yan has taken the initiative to look for Manfred several times in a row. He must have taken a fancy to Manfred."

When Manfred heard this, he suddenly recalled some not-so-good memories, and his expression turned a little ugly.

Even Clovisia showed a hint of surprise.

She originally thought that Qi Yan's kidnapping of people was purely a personal hobby, but now it seems that this is a recognized business in Rhodes Island?

"Kuluciel, be kind to the prisoners and don't scare others."

The doctor raised his hand to hold Kuluciel's head and pushed her aside: "We also have people captured by the Sarkaz. Manfred will definitely sell them, but not to Qi Yan.

I will sell him to Tresis, and exchange him for Maenna and the soldiers of the Self-Rescue Army, and try to sell him at a good price, and exchange him for the soldiers that Horn failed to rescue."

"Then I advise you to save some energy." Manfred said sarcastically, "The Sarkaz have experienced too much life and death on the battlefield. If you want to threaten Your Highness with me, you might as well think more about how to escape from this battlefield after you fail."

The doctor chuckled and said:

“You’re right, but we’re not on the battlefield anymore.

You don't need to use these words to confuse my judgment. I won't try to interrogate any information from you. If I really need to know something, wouldn't it be faster to ask Qi Yan directly? "

Manfred: "..."

When Klovicia heard this, her expression became a little strange:

"Doctor, you know, I have always had a question."

"Please say."

"What is the relationship between Qi Yan and your Rhodes Island?" Clovisia considered her words for a moment and asked tentatively, "If you are close partners, why don't you work together? With his strength and your strategy, it shouldn't be a problem to quickly defeat the Sarkaz... To be precise, I don't think there is any force in this land that Rhodes Island should be afraid of.

But if you are just an ordinary cooperative relationship, or a subordinate relationship, Rhodes Island gives me the feeling that I trust Qi Yan very much...

Of course, I'm just asking out of curiosity. If there are any secrets involved, you don't have to tell me anything."

The doctor smiled, not surprised by Clovisia's doubts.

Almost all forces in this land may be wondering about the true relationship between Qi Yan and Rhodes Island.

"You guys, the answer is clearly there, but you only focus on Qi Yan and ignore the truth." The doctor shook his head with amusement.

Klovicia was puzzled and glanced at the other people from Rhodes Island behind the doctor. Only then did she realize that everyone had a funny expression on their face.

The doctor pointed at Vina who was studying the Breath of Kings and said:

"Vina actually had doubts about this question before."

Vina:?

She raised her head and said puzzledly:

"I'm not confused. People in Rhodes Island have always gotten along like this. Qi Yan is not special."

"You are only slowly changing now, but half a year ago, you were still out of shape." The doctor chuckled. "I still remember that during the weekly meeting, you strongly demanded that Rhodes Island's security be improved. You said you were afraid to go to the cafeteria to get food and find that there were Ursus's internal guards in the team panting."

"…To be honest, I am also worried now."

Vina complained, then looked at Clovisia and helped explain: "Rhodes Island is not the kind of group you understand. It allows different opinions to exist within itself. It will not force people to be bound by its own system and force everyone to take sides.

In Rhode Island, most people don’t care about each other’s race, country, or origin. The only thing they care about is whether we are working towards the same goal.”

"You mean, save this land?" Clovisia said blankly.

Vina smiled and shook her head, her eyes falling on the Doctor and the other Rhodes Island operators:

“It is not a certain organization that will save this land, but all the brave people who persist in fighting despite the hardships.

Everyone in Rhode Island is just working hard to live a better life, whether it's developing drugs for oripathy, helping refugees, or popularizing knowledge about oripathy to eliminate prejudice. We just hope that everyone can live a better life."

"...This is more idealistic than saving this land."

Clovisia seemed a little shocked.

The doctor looked at Clovisia, then at Manfred, and said calmly:

“In fact, Vina’s ideal is just her own ideal. In Rhodes Island, there are many different ideals. We are in the same boat, but we are not grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

We are just partners in this journey, that’s all.”
