222. A year later

Vancouver's airports have a well-organized hustle and bustle. There aren't too many people coming and going. In this city, in this country, there are few scenes that can truly be called shoulder to shoulder. However, as a transportation hub, it is also the norm for people to come and go.

However, in the crowd, there is a focal point that makes it impossible not to pay attention. A delicate-looking girl lets an extremely cute baby ride around her neck. And the pretty little baby was using the girl's head as a table, scooping out the puree from a glass jar with childish movements, and occasionally smearing the puree on the girl's honey-colored hair. And the girl didn't feel anything, although the puree was definitely uncomfortable in her hair, but it seemed that she was very used to it. Occasionally, the girl opened her mouth, and the baby on her head would actually dig up a spoonful of puree from the boss and try to put the spoon into the girl's mouth, although a small half would be applied to the girl's face and stuffed into the girl's nose, but both the girl and the baby were very familiar with this kind of cooperation, and had a lot of fun.

This is naturally Emile, and the children of Emile and Zorin. The child, who has not yet been officially named, is temporarily nicknamed Achilles by Emile, because she often carries the child's heels and soaks the child in plant juice. Maybe the plant juice has the effect of strengthening the body and promoting the growth of the body, but Emile did this more directly to let the children not be disturbed by those small flying insects in the mountains and forests.

A year ago, Emile had left Hopton Palace with his simplest of luggage, leaving behind only a brief note. Was it really afraid of being seen what she looked like when she gave birth or was it something else? In fact, Emile herself may not know, she just didn't want to be surrounded by a bunch of people. After running to the north of Scotland, finding a cave and giving birth, she went to Canada. Canada's wilderness and city are intertwined with a special landscape, giving her a lot of room to move. Carrying a child is not a burden for her at all. There is no shortage of food anyway. And apart from food and water, the druids didn't need much in the first place. The Internet, mobile phones, radio and television stations and other things that have nothing to do with survival are inherently indifferent. On the contrary, living together in the natural world, it is not surprising that this "Achilles", who has an excellent physique, has grown extremely rapidly.

"Achilles" inherited his father's sleepwalking physique and his mother's affinity physique with the power of nature. That's to be expected. But in "Achilles", Emile finally discovered the reason why Zuo Lin's physique was not very suitable for becoming a combat druid. "Achilles" also has such a physique, which is an extremely rare "natural and calm" physique. In other words, if Zuo Lin did not learn the abilities of the druid, but practiced Taoism, Buddhism, and the four elements of magic that required meditation, he might get twice the result with half the effort, and as a druid, he only gained a basic resistance to psychic attacks and mania. However, by combining the sleepwalking physique with the power of nature affinity physique, the "natural calm" physique will not be useless. Such a physique can ensure that little "Achilles" can use this physique to avoid the adverse effects caused by the cultivation in a series of dreams when his self-control ability is not strong enough. What made Emile even more pleased was that "Achilles" comprehended and gathered the special breathing method of the power of nature on his own, and naturally replaced the original inefficient breathing method, which she had never thought to teach. Did you learn from your mother? Or did you follow your mother across the Yukon to Alaska and back again, all the way across Hudson Bay? Crossing the Angava Peninsula, crossing the Labrador Sea to Greenland, and then heading south to Newfoundland, and having played all of eastern Canada before arriving in Ottawa, the year-long journey of the savages was too arduous for "Achilles" to master the force of nature breathing to ensure his health, then it is unknown. However, it is an indisputable fact that the now one-year-old "Achilles" is far stronger than children of the same age.

In Ottawa, Emile had just cleaned up a bit. The camera she had brought with her had taken countless photographs, but they had all been sent directly to a post office in Ottawa for pickup, and there were about 200 rolls of film alone. She can't be blamed for not using a digital camera or anything like that, but choosing the Leica M5 that Zolin gave her. I don't know how long it will take to make a trip to town, only a mechanical camera can do it, and I can't do it with batteries. As for many things that you get at hand but don't want to take with you, they are all sent to the post office box, and after a year, you can probably fit enough in a container.

These include interesting books and magazines that have been read, items of primitive natives found in the wasteland, items that have been robbed by counter-raiders who wanted to rob Emile, and clothes that are out of season. After disposing of all the things, Emile found that although he spent a lot of money along the way—after all, it was much easier to buy clothes for his children than to make clothes for his children, and although he could make shoes from animal furs, it was not as convenient and comfortable as buying ready-made outdoor goods—but he had more and more money in his hands. Emile threw away the original clothes that were a little torn and bought a rather fashionable summer casual clothes for himself and his children, and decided that it was time to meet his old friends, especially when it was time for the children to meet their father, compared to Emile, who was so fun-loving, Emile himself felt that it would be better to hand over the little "Achilles" to Zuolin Education.

Flying from Ottawa to Vancouver made little "Achilles" very uncomfortable. Probably because the plane was flying at a different altitude than he used to fly on the back of a bird, or when he was caught by an eagle, the humming noise and uncomfortable currents made Emile have to buy a lot of fruit at the airport and puree it to appease the restless boy. Of course, she enjoyed a lot of it herself.

And Emile put his son on his head and went through a series of formalities at the airport. Although the puree on her face and hair made her not look very good, and her ID card that she didn't know when someone got her said that she was still 18 years old, that alone surprised the airport staff. Although it is not uncommon for unmarried pregnancies and teenage mothers to happen now, it is really strange for a mother and son like this. It's kind of harmony and fun, and it really makes people wonder who the father of the child is.

No one thought that the child's father was the man who was printed on the cover of the magazine held by Emile - Zorin. It's been a year, Zuo Lin hasn't been on the course again, but he has made cameo appearances in several marathon half marathons, and even teamed up with a few druids and squires to participate in two large-scale sailing races. Having a super research ship such as the Sirens as a source of hydrometeorological information and so on is also very good in sailing competitions.

The current Zuo Lin basically puts his main energy, at least on the surface, on the two enterprises of Jiongshi Biology and Jiongshi Environment. With the production of Jiongshi Biotech's "Heart Lotus" series of cosmetics climbing to a certain extent, all online orders can basically be delivered within a month to a month and a half. This kind of sales method that flexibly distributes total output between different regions and carries out a simple process of factory-logistics-customer inquiry has become the content of many business sales experts. Success is overwhelming. No one would have imagined how expedient this method would have been.

In a year, with the guarantee of a large amount of funds, Jiongshi Environment has established waste treatment plants in cities including New York, London, Paris, Zurich, Vancouver, Montreal, Boston, Los Angeles and other cities. The most exaggerated thing is that there is a factory in Baghdad. The most surprising thing is that even without government subsidies, the waste treatment plants in Europe and the United States are running smoothly and, according to the financial statements, are still quite profitable. Mainly, apart from the construction of factories and the hiring of workers, there is almost no cost to the operation of these factories. Although there is no government subsidy, taxes are still very favorable for environmentally friendly factories, and the insect oil produced is used to generate electricity to keep the factories running. The logistics costs of the waste are also borne by the waste producer, and the profits from the heavy slag bricks, metal powders and insect oil generated go to the factory. Shanghai has become a clean standard city that does not produce untreatable waste every day, and many other cities have felt the benefits of such a waste treatment process, almost every country, every city is inviting Jiongshi Environment to build more factories, as for technology transfer? However, under the reason that Zuo Lin insisted on being responsible to shareholders, everyone did not insist. Because the nominal shareholders of Jiongshi International come from all corners of the world, with various races, various occupations, and different statuses. This technology is not controlled by one person, one country. The argument that shareholders are responsible is valid in this case, not a pretext.

The 20-year-old Zuo Lin, in this case, did not appear in magazines such as Sports Illustrated, Kicker, etc., but actually appeared on the cover of this issue.

Emile, on the other hand, skipped through a long section of jargon that she didn't intend to understand, and watched directly at Zuo Lin's witty dodge of the extremely perceptive reporter, which was faithfully reflected in the interview. Zuo Lin is not an entrepreneur, not a good manager, at least he never thinks so, but it is undeniable that he now has a thriving business in his hands. In contrast, Oaktree International is much more low-key. As a result of handing over the insect oil refining business to Zuolin, Oaktree International, which concentrates on the pharmaceutical business, has not made a lot of profits, according to expert analysis, Oaktree International's global pharmaceutical sales exceeded 2.5 billion US dollars last year. For a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant that has only been in existence for a fraction of a period of time, this is a miracle in itself. This estimate may not be accurate, because Oaktree International is also a factory that conducts smuggling business without any indifference. Although I am embarrassed to be involved in the business of Tianxin Lotus's wound-saving ointment mastered by Zuo Lin, there are never fewer orders for other types of auxiliary military medicines. The insect repellent spray for tropical areas, which is colorless and odorless, has a long-lasting effect and does not be washed away by sweat, and 300,000 units have been sold at a price of $99 per piece.

As Emile walked into the boarding aisle while reading the magazine, a well-dressed man who coveted Emile's pure beauty came up and accosted: "Ma'am, your child is beautiful. ”

When the man tried to reach out and pat Achilles on the head, a squirrel jumped out of Emile's satchel and bit down the man's hand. The little squirrel lowered its body on Emile's shoulder, looking like he was sworn to defend the baby, which was extremely cute. "Achilles" muttered a few words, and the guy, who also only knew some short expressions in druid, patted the squirrel, and the squirrel jumped back into his backpack. But he clearly doesn't like being touched by strangers.

The man was embarrassed and said, "Your pet...... Also ......"

Emile was impatient and took her eyes off the magazine. "There is a species of monkey in India, and the way to please the mother is to take care of the baby. There is a kind of monkey in Indonesia, and to please the female monkey is to take food. There is a kind of monkey in Congo that acts very directly, and does not know repentance until it is kicked away by the mother monkey. …… What kind of monkey are you?"

About that man, who also had some status, was suddenly shocked by such words, and didn't know how to answer, so he had to touch his nose and walk away. At this moment, a soft voice sounded beside Emile: "Emile? Is it Emile?"

Emile turned her head to see a girl about her size with dazzling light blonde hair standing beside her, but the girl was dressed very white-collared. Emile was relieved to see the other party's eyes staring at the dolphin crest hanging on her backpack, and then she found the "Sunflower" crest on the other party's chest...... Although they were both trained at the headquarters, Emile, who ran outside all day, and Irina, who was taken to Siberia for several months of the year, really had no impression of each other. But heraldry is not mistaken.

"yes...... I'm sorry, what's your name?" Emile greeted in a friendly manner.

"My name is Irina and I work for the Wilderness Enforcer. Are you going now?" Irina looked up at the boarding lane, if correct, then this suddenly departed Emile should now be on her way to Shanghai. Irina wondered if she could see Emile...... And the child on Emile's head covered in puree, Zolin should be happy.

"Shanghai. "It's the same druid, so there's nothing to be afraid about. Emile said happily, "How are you all now?"
