Oracle of Terra

"I said Master Hicks, instead of using my statue, how about using the statue of His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor? That won't work! You are the hero of Sochi! I plan to carve statues of the Sarkaz mercenaries near your statue! It says 'Save the city with the great savior Duke Tallulah heroes'!"

The master smiled happily, while Tallulah's expression became much more distorted.

"................."

Seeing Master Hicks returning to the work on the statue with an excited expression on his face, Tallulah wanted to say something, but at some point Muyan walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder.

"Give up, as long as the master decides, it's useless for us to say anything, and it was also said at the meeting that we will turn you into a symbol of the city."

"But I hope it's more simple."

"I think it's not bad, at least like this, the Sarkaz can be remembered."

Although she couldn't see the mercenary's expression, Tallulah thought she was smiling.

"Is it."

Talulah, who couldn't continue to dissuade her, just felt her cheeks getting hot and scratched her head. She chose to leave the exhibition hall under construction.

"Have something to drink."

Feeling a little thirsty, Tallulah walked into a bar, and there was a sign on the outside of the bar, 'Grizzly Bear Bar'. Tallulah seemed to imagine that the owner was a big Ursus with a strong back, but when she saw the neck, there was some crystallization. Tallulah was a little surprised when she saw the Ursus girl.

She has seen this girl.

After they took over Sochi, this infected girl named Mina helped them rescue many infected people who might have died. Her origin stone skills will bring her whispers in the wind, so she can hear those Faint voice.

"Master, Lord Duke!?"

"Hi, Miss Mina, can I have something to drink? Non-alcoholic."

"Naturally!"

Mina excitedly took out a drink from the cabinet. After all, in the eyes of these surviving Sochi people, Tallulah was almost the savior as advertised.

Leading the Sarkaz to defeat those hateful monsters, and after killing the culprit, he became the lord of Sochi, and even donated the original grand duke's mansion to build an exhibition hall, and sent the Sarkaz to help them rebuild Sochi .

Bringing light to the hell called Sochi.

"Thank you."

"Please, please don't say that! This is what I should do!"

"Please don't be so excited, at least I'm just Tallulah outside of official hours, don't have to face me so stiffly, I still remember your heroic demeanor when you led us and participated in rescue activities."

"Hey hey, thank you Lord Duke for your compliment."

"By the way, have you used the special medicine that was uniformly distributed to the infected before? How effective is it?"

"Ah, that special medicine, the taste is still in my mouth now, but the effect is very good! The crystallization that made me feel uncomfortable recently has not hurt at all, and my health is getting better and gradually getting better! And everyone in Sochi is very happy. Thank you for the special medicine. After all, Master Tallulah is an infected person, but it is completely different from what I have heard before. In the small disputes that happened before, the Sarkaz brothers in the police station will not just because the person who committed the crime is an infected person. It’s reassuring for us survivors to just take sides.”

"That's good. If you have any other requests, feel free to raise them. As long as it is helpful to the revival of Sochi, or the difficulties of the survivors, the city hall will accept it."

Tallulah nodded. It seems that the atmosphere in Sochi has become good, but this is also because the population is not too large. Some quarrels and frictions are fine. The problem is that the population will increase in the future. , Many situations will become very troublesome, after all, in Ursas, Sochi, where the integration movement is located, will become an anomaly.

As it develops in the future, there will be more sand. It is indeed necessary to develop the informants of the police station mentioned by Jiu. Fortunately, the Sochi survivors are familiar with the city and trust them. If you choose informants from among them, That is indeed the best.

Thinking of this, she looked at Mina in front of her. This girl was a good choice.

The agility and convenience of Originium skills in the search and rescue activities not long ago are very suitable for development as an informant.

But just when Tallulah was about to do some insignificant help for the work of the police station...

"Mina, do you have any guests?"

A young Ursusian man with a cane and a prosthetic right foot emerged from it.

Does she remember who this person is?

"My lord duke!?"

The young man looked at Tallulah in surprise, as if he hadn't expected that this noble man would come to their small bar.

"Hello, Second Lieutenant Andre, but please don't call me your lord right now. It's a rare non-official time, and I want to relax, not to mention that I'm not that honorable."

"But you are a duke conferred by His Majesty, etiquette is still necessary."

Andre licked his lips. Although he had seen the princess's approachability before, the other party was indeed a big shot in Sochi.

"Mina, are you not being rude?"

"What do you think of me, brother!"

Mina glanced at Andre angrily, and the Ursus youth also scratched his head.

"I'm sorry, my lord, my sister is a little frizzy."

"Her reception is good, but this bar doesn't seem to be visited by anyone?"

"Actually, we are counting how many survivors are left in the original wine cellar. After all, something like that happened, but fortunately, there is little damage to the store. The Sarkaz from the police station helped us repair the store. We are going to open tomorrow , to provide free drinks and food to the workers rebuilding the city."

"Then I'll come to bother you then."

"The premise is that you can complete your work."

"Uh..."

Hearing the male voice from behind, Tallulah froze.

It was the white-haired Sarkaz wearing sunglasses and looking helpless.

"Mr. Telles, hello!"

"Good afternoon, Mina, it seems that our Lord Duke is really good at walking."

"Good afternoon, Telles."

"Indeed, if you don't put your work aside and go out and hang out, that's really nice."

Telles rubbed his temples.

"I understand that you feel burdened by too much work, but if you say hello to me, it's not that I can't give you a little leisure time."

"Really?"

Tallulah looked overjoyed.

"Of course, the premise is that you can finish today's work, and I will give you a good vacation, my lord duke."

Telles, who brought W back to the workshop, was approached by an infected person working in the city hall. As for why he was looking for him, it was naturally because his ability to find people and things can be said to be famous among infected people, so there was Now this scene.

"The Duke... slipped out?"

"Ah ha ha...."

The Andre brothers and sisters could only laugh a few times. To be honest, the Duke is really too approachable.

"Cough cough."

In order to maintain her image, Tallula coughed twice, took out two coins and put them on the bar counter.

"Uh... drinks are provided for free, how can we charge money from adults!"

"It's free from tomorrow, right? So let's keep it today."

After Tallulah left a chic back for the two, Telles touched his chin.

"Free drinks tomorrow? That's a good relationship, Tallulah, you'll be free tomorrow."

Tallulah, who heard Telles's words, staggered and almost fell.

"Didn't you just say that you would give me a vacation?"

"I said it, but I didn't say that I would give you a vacation right away. At least you won't be free until most of Sochi's infrastructure resumes normal operation."

The white-haired Sarkaz smiled like a ghost in Tallulah's eyes.

"Then continue to work hard! Your Excellency Duke! For the citizens and our future!"

"Ugh..."

Talula only felt a sore nose, and an unprecedented pain passed through her heart.

Qianlue, Huijie, although I don't know how you are doing in Longmen, but I want to say...

Overtime, what a nuisance!

At the same time, inside the city of Chernobog, a red-haired Luper looked fiercely at the abandoned New Energy Research Institute in front of him with the words "No Entry" written on it.

"Sergey..."

That deep female voice was as haunting and terrifying as the voice of hell.

101. New Energy Research Institute

"To Chernobog?"

Tallulah looked at Telles who was visiting her office with a tired expression.

"Yeah, I only remembered what happened there when I was teaching W glyphs these days."

"whats the matter?"

Tallulah looked at Telles strangely. After all, although Sochi said that Telles was not indispensable, she still hoped that Telles would be able to make suggestions by her side.

"Have you heard of the New Energy Research Institute?"

"New Energy Research Institute?"

Tallulah tried her best to recall what she had learned. Although she was a little dizzy from the documents these two days, she seemed to be able to recall the past.

"I don't know, after all I had never been to Chernobog before this latest incident."

"Then I'll tell you a little bit about what I know, but I also heard it from the ninja lady from the Eastern Kingdom."

Telles shrugged, Tallulah also thought about it.

"New Energy Research Institute, is there any secret?"

"It's not a secret. After all, this matter is considered semi-public in the circle of Ursus. The rapid prosperity of Chernobog was also thanks to the New Energy Research Institute. Earl Boris was not like that. A weak and enlightened person is only changed by one incident."

"New Energy Research Institute?"

Tallulah cheered up, and what Telles said made her a little interested.

"Yes, the New Energy Research Institute studies the heritage of pre-civilizations excavated from ancient ruins. It has a power source different from the origin stone. I heard that the energy source is almost... infinite."

"unlimited...."

Tallula chewed the word carefully.

"Of course, this may be an exaggeration, but what the New Energy Research Institute is researching is indeed a technology that surpasses the current era. Even a little bit of the product of the previous civilization is enough to benefit mankind today."

"Aren't you a pre-civilized person?"

Tallulah's words made Telles shake his head.

"I prefer to call it the era before the beginning of the current history of Terra. Although I can be considered a bit old, the pre-civilization is older than now, but my guess is that it was a civilization at its peak. ..."

And Telles also knows something like 'infinite' energy, but it is dangerous, something called nuclear, although I don't know what kind of era Terra's pre-civilization was, but almost infinite energy is almost equivalent to danger , but Telles intends to take a look. If it can be used for industrial development, he doesn't mind sharing the success with Chernobog. If there is no result, then it's a big deal to continue to come back and think about new power.

"In other words, do you want to go to the New Energy Research Institute to find theories about the energy dynamics of pre-civilization?"

Tallulah really couldn't see that this old Sarkaz magician would have anything to do with technological civilization.

"Well, I feel very uncomfortable with the look in your eyes, Tallulah, it's a little rude."

"I really don't want to look at you like this, Keteles, you are a 'God', you can be said to be a representative of magic, but those are technologies, I don't think people like you can understand them."

"Isn't there still the research record of Chernobog? Maybe with my luck, I can find some clues."

"Luck...Since you have decided to go, I will not stop you. After all, Chernobog and us are now in an alliance. The revival of Sochi is also in their interest in the long run, let alone the outside world. From the looks of it, they have already been tied to the same boat as us, and His Majesty the Emperor seems to be interested in promoting an alliance between me and them."

Tallulah rubbed her temples and pulled out a piece of paper.

"I will write you a personal letter. You can take it to Earl Boris when the time comes. I will continue to deal with the paperwork. I hope your trip to the New Energy Research Institute will be fruitful."

"I also plan to tell you in detail what happened at the New Energy Research Institute."

"I have the opportunity to listen, and I feel that what I need now is to continue processing work and get a good sleep after processing."

Seeing Tallulah's exhausted appearance, Telles couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Unfortunately, there are very few people who can help Tallulah handle these tasks. At present, most members of the integration movement in Chernobog can handle it. Tallulah and Herag are the only people who work in the aristocratic circle. The old man needs to take care of the safety of the police station and the whole area of ​​Sochi, and Telles is too embarrassed to bother him. As for the others, there are no candidates. Said that he himself has no interest in the Ursus nobles. After all, he used to stand on top of others, and his thinking in dealing with this kind of work cannot be flexible too much, which may cause even bigger problems instead.
