Chapter 158 A Father's Redemption and Self-Redemption
Askalon couldn't help but take a deep breath.
However, out of trust in Kal'tsit, she did not attack immediately.
"So we're just going to sit back and wait for Qi Yan to complete his preparations?" Askalon asked.
In response to this, Kelsey shook her head:
"I have sent ACE and Outcast to Xiaoqiu County. Although Qi Yan said that trouble will not occur there until the end of the year, it is always good to prepare in advance."
So, in the end, he was led by Qi Yan.
Askalon sighed inwardly but said nothing.
She had never had direct contact with Qi Yan, and she really couldn't understand Kal'tsit's trust in Qi Yan.
"I will continue to investigate the situation in Londinium. If there is any movement, I will inform you immediately."
Askalon said this and turned away.
But when the office door was opened, a figure appeared outside the door that surprised both Ascalon and Kal'tsit.
The Patriot's tall figure stood outside the door, casting the entire door in his shadow.
"Sorry, I didn't overhear your conversation."
The patriot did not hide anything and openly admitted that he heard everything.
Ascalon's mouth tightened slightly.
The sudden appearance of a Patriot-level warrior on Rhodes Island gave her a headache. With her keen sense, she couldn't even detect the Patriot's approaching breath and voice.
But fortunately, he is a patriot.
"That's not necessary. I respect you very much." Ascalon said expressionlessly, "But I still hope Mr. Patriot will not disclose this conversation."
The Patriot nodded silently.
Askalon said nothing more and walked away from the Patriot.
After Ascalon left, the Patriot leaned over and walked into the office, pulling out a document from his arms:
"Lord Kal'tsit, I would like to apply to temporarily leave the island. The guerrillas need my help to survive the upcoming cold wave."
Kal'tsit took the Patriot's application documents and did not rush to sign them. Instead, she persuaded him:
"I have considered this matter a long time ago and have arranged for the logistics department to send a batch of supplies to the tundra."
Before the Patriot could speak, Kal'tsit raised her hand to signal him not to be impatient and continued:
“This batch of supplies is not prepared specifically for the guerrillas. All the people suffering in the tundra are beneficiaries. One of Rhodes Island’s principles of action is to do our part for all the people suffering in this land.
The guerrillas are a group of respectable fighters, but they are also part of the tundra. They just happen to be included in the scope of Rhodes Island's aid, that's all. Whether you agree or not, Rhodes Island will insist on distributing this batch of supplies. "
The Patriot nodded silently again, accepting the explanation.
Kelsey looked at the Patriot standing there and asked puzzledly: "Do you have anything else you want to discuss?"
"I'm just a patient from Rhode Island. What I'm going to say next may go a little beyond the pale." The Patriot said seriously, "But since it concerns Qi Yan, I still want to express my opinion."
"It doesn't have to be this way."
Kal'tsit nodded in understanding and said, "Rhodes Island is not a dictatorial organization. You are a respectable warrior and an elder whom Qi Yan respects and trusts. You can speak freely about whatever you want to say."
"Qi Yan, you don't respect me, nor do you trust me. Everything is just a facade."
As soon as the Patriot opened his mouth, he dropped a bombshell.
The atmosphere in the office was stagnant for a moment.
Kal'tsit's expression gradually became serious, but more of it was confusion.
She didn't rush to speak, but waited silently for the patriot's explanation.
"Regarding the conversation I just heard, I support that Sarkaz lady." The Patriot seemed to be possessed by Qi Yan, constantly saying things that caught Kal'tsit off guard. "Rhodes Island and I should do our best to avoid Qi Yan's guidance. We must stand beside Qi Yan, or even in front of him, instead of behind him."
Kal'tsit slowly stood up and walked in front of the Patriot.
She looked up at the tall Sarkaz in front of her.
"I understand Ascalon's decision, but I don't understand yours." Kal'tsit said in a serious tone.
The patriot was silent for a long time, memories surging in his mind, and scenes from the past reappeared before his eyes uncontrollably.
In the ruins of Qie City, the boy opened his arms to embrace the sunshine, but under the boy, the shadow cast by the sunshine seemed to be stretching out its arms to him, begging for something.
On the land of Ursus, the entire square was dyed red with blood. His son, his biological son, his Growazur lay quietly among the corpses, one hand stretched weakly into the distance, as if trying to grab something.
He personally initiated the massacre after receiving the imperial order...
The patriot's red eyes dimmed a little, and his tone was filled with sadness that was difficult to conceal:
"I once killed my own son with my own hands. Because of my inaction, my Growazil left me forever. This time, I want to catch him."
"I've heard about that incident. It was a tragedy caused by the Ursus Empire. It has nothing to do with you." Kal'tsit consoled her, and then asked, "But I don't understand how this is related to Qi Yan. Did Qi Yan tell you anything?"
The patriot shook his head slightly: "I can't disclose Qi Yan's experience without permission. He doesn't want to be pitied and feared by others again.
Qi Yan's condition is very bad. I can only say that because of his past experiences, his spiritual world is devastated, chaotic and confused.
He is a walking empty shell, constantly looking for something to fill the meaning of his existence. In order to save himself, he chooses to save others, but his confusion leads him down the wrong path.
Qi Yan longs for the trust of others and hopes that he can be needed by others, so he has set up everything now. He plans to make you and me accept him, need him, and ask for help from him... However, only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. "
Kal'tsit's pupils suddenly shrank.
Across from her, the Patriot's aura was a little disheveled.
Even though the Patriot's mineralogy was under control, speaking for so long still made his lungs ache.
Even so, the Patriot did not stop, and he spoke again:
"We need Qi Yan, but not because of his fighting ability or his brainpower to plan everything. We need Qi Yan as a person.
He's a good kid, and I want to save him.
This time, I must grab his outstretched hand. "
Kal'tsit slowly backed away, as if something was stuck in her throat and couldn't be dissolved.
'Tallulah is a poor creature, and I want to try to save her.'
'She is Amiya, a very cute little girl.'
"Kal'tsit, keep thinking, this land still needs you to save it."
"Oh, so that's why I never understood him." Kal'tsit suddenly laughed at herself, "It turns out I never understood him."
The patriot stared at the elder before him.
Under the gaze of the Patriot, Kal'tsit slowly regained her composure, and her green eyes looked back at him:
"Thank you, Bozhuo Kasti. If it weren't for you, the situation would be disastrous."
"He is a good kid. He doesn't care about killing people, but he also doesn't like the disappearance of life." The Patriot shook his head firmly. "Your worry is a kind of harm. His end is to die in a quiet place."
"You are a reliable elder... and a good father." Kal'tsit said seriously, "As you said, Qi Yan may be missing a lot of things, but he doesn't like to lie. His respect and trust in you are absolutely true."
"No, I am not."
"You are!"
Kal'tsit and the Patriot looked at each other.
Gradually, the patriot seemed to unload the burden that had oppressed him for many years. His red eyes became dimmer, but they regained their spirit.
The Patriot opened his mouth to say something, but he suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at the office door.
A moment later, a flurry of footsteps approached quickly, and then without pressing the request button outside the door, there was a knock on the door.
The woman's panicked cry spread into the office.
"Dr. Kal'tsit, something happened to Amiya!"
