Oracle of Terra

"Yes, this is Sochi, the mobile city of the Ursus Empire. The lord here is my student, Tallulah, the Duke of the Infected. She is trying to build a city for the Infected, a home for the Infected, and move towards this land. The stronghold of the earth."

"That is to say, you are just getting started?"

"Ahem, you are still as perceptive as before. Anyway, you can call me if you have anything to do. If that girl named W came to trouble you just now, you can also report to me."

"Small report..."

Lucifer felt that this was a bit too childish.

"By the way, remember to drink this, it's good for your body."

Telles put the small bottle full of black liquid on Lucifer's bedside table. Looking at the bottle full of black liquid, Telles always felt that this thing seemed bitter.

"Is this medicine?"

"My special special medicine, your body is too weak, you need to nourish it, otherwise you may not be able to move freely outside."

Lucifer used to have to wear protective clothing to leave the outside world. This is also proof that he, as a remnant of the former civilization, cannot adapt to this land. Fortunately, Telles can help transform his body, just like Sarkaz and Black Like when the mysterious existence in the mist merged.

He stuffed a part of himself into that little bottle.

That would slightly transform the old friend's body. After all, Telles couldn't get his special protective suit. There was only the sarcophagus in the research institute, and there was nothing else that could be used for him.

"This... shouldn't be bitter, right?"

"You'll know if you try it, remember to finish drinking."

Telles left the room with a smile, while Lucifer looked at the bottle full of black liquid with some confusion, and finally chose to open the cork, and then gulped down.

"Well?!"

A pungent taste spread from the nasal cavity.

"Ahem! Ahem!? Is this wine?!"

A certain alcoholic would naturally not answer his friend, but a warmth spread from Lucifer's body, and he suddenly felt that his body seemed to be better?

"At least it's better than bitter water."

Some stuck out their tongues because they felt too irritating. He picked up half a bowl of hot porridge that was put aside, and drank it all at once.

"Much better...just dizzy."

Feeling a little tired, Lucifer lay down and fell into a deep sleep, while the black mist particles began to strengthen his body tissue. Although it was not up to the average level of the people of Terra, it was able to endure the harsh environment outside the mobile city. There is also a degree.

"Awaited."

After Telles left the temporary hospital, he came to the hut where Lyudmila was detained. The hot porridge in front of the red-haired Luper girl was completely drank.

"When will I be able to meet Sergey with you?"

The fire of vengeance in her eyes has not yet dissipated, and Telles raised her eyebrows seeing this.

"Right now, Mr. Sergei has brought his wife and children to Sochi. The rest is up to you. I can guarantee that you will not be held accountable for the murder."

"It's okay to pursue it. As long as I can kill Sergey, I don't care. Let's lead the way."

Telles returned Lyudmila's dagger to her, and the red-haired Luper girl put it in her pocket and followed Telles through the back door.

They are going to the temporary residential area built in Sochi. Although the local residential area in Sochi has a prototype, many dilapidated ruins are still very dangerous, so the survivors of Sochi and the residents of the integration movement began to go out together. The expansion of the residential area, as for the planners of the city hall, will have a headache, and it will probably be a headache after half a year. After all, what everyone needs now is a place where they can sleep.

Sergey, on the other hand, looked at his son and wife following him with some guilt.

Daughter Misha looked at her haggard father with some worry. Although the family was reunited, the rift still existed. Even though Sergei's wife Aisha understood her husband's difficulties, she was happy to see her again this time, but her The child Alex doesn't think so. He feels that his father abandoned him and his mother, and now he shamelessly wants to go back to the past after their suffering.

He couldn't forgive his father.

And Sergey couldn't forget those words of Lyudmila.

"Misha, go to the temporary housing area with your brother and mother. Dad has something to discuss with the law enforcement officers here."

Sergey looked at the infected police officers patrolling the streets, dangerous demons, tall shield guards, and even local residents who were not infected. This scene seemed very strange to him, and it also made him feel very disturbed. In his eyes, this city called Sochi is like a magic cave, and this is the only place where he belongs, where his wife and children live, because the infected cannot survive safely in the land of Ursus, except here outside.

He just hoped that his wife and children would not be harassed by the demons.

"dad?"

"Be good, Misha, don't you really want to be with mom? Dad just left for a while, it's okay."

Sergei urged his daughter to leave with his wife and son.

"Well... Dad, you have to come back quickly!"

"it is good...."

The haggard researcher only felt that his expression should be very bitter, but he tried his best not to let his daughter notice the abnormality, but at this moment, his wife came over.

"Aisha?"

"Sergey, I...I'll wait for your return."

"Aisha I..."

"I'm waiting for you."

Without giving him time to defend himself, the woman walked towards the office of the temporary housing complex with the two children. Tears welled up in Sergey's eyes. How long had he been waiting for himself to return to this time?

But...he couldn't, even if he was enjoying this moment of family happiness, he felt sorry for Ilya and his dead colleagues.

"Dude, why are you crying?"

"Ah... sorry, because I haven't seen my wife and children for a long time, so I'm a little..."

Sarkaz, in his black coat, patted him on the back.

"You should also come from the mine. The people who were sent today are all from the mine. Those nobles in Ursas who let the infected dig mines are really not good things, but don't worry if you come to Sochi. Don't worry, as long as you can make a contribution, there will be special medicines distributed, at least the infected people will have no worries for the rest of their lives after drinking the special medicines."

"Is that so."

Sergey dealt with this Sarkaz with a wry smile. He didn't believe in any special medicine at all, because if there was such a thing, where would there be so much suffering on this land?

How could there be so many infected people sent to the mine?

"In short, those who have contributed to Sochi can get medicine and supplies. Brother, you can work harder, but seeing your haggard look, you should eat more first. Relief will be distributed in the afternoon. Meal, your Ursas special meat porridge is really delicious."

While talking to Sergey about the special products he experienced in Ursas, the Sarkaz also introduced him to the current benefits of Sochi, which made the elite from Chernobog feel a little strange.

A demon, on the land of Ursas, introduced the characteristics of the local city of Ursas to him, a stranger from Ursas. The strangest thing is that he, a native of Ursas, could not understand this at all. The current situation in Sochi, which has been to many times.

"By the way, the exhibition hall of Master Hicks will be open in two months, and it will be open for free for one month. Remember to take your little devil head to play with you then."

Sarkaz also realized that he had talked for too long, and was about to go back to work again, while Sergey listened to his introduction.

Master Hicks... In the past, this craftsman was often seen at the joint banquet between Sochi and Chernobog, but now he feels pain.

"Are you going with the kids..."

Too bad he can no longer do that.

He looked at the red-haired figure in the shadow of the street corner not far away, and the white-haired Sarkaz standing beside her, and walked over with heavy steps.

"Lyudmila..."

He looked at the orphan of Xihi's colleague, and his heart was full of guilt.

"Have you bid farewell?"

Sergey nodded.

"Let's go then, I'll take you on the road."

Glancing at the Sarkaz mercenaries and pedestrians around, Telles brought Lyudmila and Sergey to an uninhabited ruin. The current population of Sochi is less than one-fifth of its original population. One, so there are no people in most of the area, which is also the best place to attack. Lyudmila took out her dagger, looked at the haggard man in front of her, and was about to strike.

"Wait, Miss Lyudmila."

"What else do you want to do?"

Lyudmila frowned, looked at Telles, he seemed to be delaying time?

"It's nothing, just, don't you want to hear Mr. Sergey's confession, or give him some time to write a suicide note?"

"Why should I give him time like this?"

"Anyway, his life is already in your hands. If you want to kill him, you can kill him at any time, right? Just think of it as no regrets, or let his family have an explanation. After all, Mr. Sergey died here like this. I'm not good at dealing with the funeral, at least write a suicide note that he wants to commit suicide, and then we can disguise the scene after the murder, okay?"

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

Lyudmila looked at Telles suspiciously, but finally nodded.

"Okay, then listen to you."

"Then Mr. Sergey, write on paper what you want to leave to your wife, son and daughter."

Telles handed Sergey the pen and paper he had already prepared.

"Thank you....."

The researcher held the pen that Telles handed over with sobs, and began to write his last letter with tears in his eyes.

Seeing his bitter appearance, Lyudmila frowned unhappily, recalling the interaction between him and his wife and children just now.

The hatred in my heart became more and more intense.

She also bid farewell to her father, but in the same way, his father will not come back, so she will not let Sergey go back, and he will pay for it!

Sergey handed over the last letter, which was mostly blurred by tears, and Telles shook his head as he looked at the piece of paper.

"Although some words are not clear, I think Mrs. Zun can understand your mood."

Telles received the paper in the envelope.

"Lyudmila, before I die, I hope you can listen to me..."

"I...."

Lyudmila didn't want to promise Sergey at first, she didn't want to listen to this man at all, but she glanced at Telles, the white-haired Sakaz just nodded, motioning her to listen.

"Damn it! Tell me!"

Her expression was somewhat reluctant, and Sergey understood her mood.

"I will not ask your forgiveness and forgiveness. Mr. Telles gave me time to see my wife and children one last time. I will pay you back for everything I have done, as he said, even though it cannot pay me back. The mistake you made, your father Ilya was once the person I respect the most...."

"But you betrayed him."

Lyudmila's eyes full of resentment made Sergey bow his head deeply, and he didn't dare to look.

"Yes, I betrayed Ilya, I betrayed those colleagues who gathered in the Institute because of their ambitions and expectations, and then lived on, but I didn't do that, Alex and Aisha would die, but I understood later , even if I don't betray Ilya, they won't have good results."

"What do you mean?"

Lyudmila felt a little strange.....

"We are destined to die, Lyudmila, those big men in the Fourth Army want everything that new energy can bring, but Ilya and others, I can't research anything by myself, and Alec Alex and Aisha were also sent to the mine because of those people suffering from ore disease. If Mr. Telles and his partners hadn’t liberated Sochi, I’m afraid Alex and Aisha would have died in the mine like this.”

"Are you begging for mercy?"

"Yes, I want to ask for forgiveness, I don't want to leave my wife and children, I want to live, but I know that's not okay, the death of my colleagues must be paid, I hope you can promise me, Lyudmila, don't go to Bao Earl Rhys starts."

"You intercede for Boris? Why? Just because he saved your life?"

"No, that's not the case, Lyudmila, I hope that you, together with this gentleman and the Duke of Sochi, can help Count Boris to overthrow the big men of the Fourth Army, they are the culprits, they It was the culprit that caused Ilya and the others to die!"

"Do you want to shirk all responsibility like this?!"

Lyudmila grabbed Sergei by the collar and looked at him fiercely.

"I don't plan to shirk it. I betrayed Ilya and the others. This matter will never be erased. I just hope, Lyudmila, after killing me, you can continue your revenge and see the real enemy clearly."

The haggard researcher's eyes filled with strength now, and he grabbed Lyudmila's arm that held the dagger.

"The darkness of Ursus is deeper than we imagined. Sooner or later, those nobles will raze this city to the ground, just like how they killed Ilya and others. Lyudmila, I Sooner or later, my wives and children will die here, so I hope you, I hope you can help me and listen to the last words of this hateful person."

"Wait... you!"

Lyudmila wanted to withdraw his hand, but Sergey still had that pleading expression, but he didn't continue talking, but took the girl Luper's hand, and passed her knife into his heart.

"No..wait! This is not what I want! You can't die like this! Sergey! You can't!"

The haggard researcher grabbed Luper's girl's hand and fell into a pool of blood. He seemed very regretful, but he didn't hesitate. Inventory, Sergey from Chernobog died, on the soil of Sochi, at the hands of the daughter of the person he most respected.

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

Lyudmila looked at her blood-stained hands and remained silent for a long time, but Telles didn't intend to be funny, but broke the tranquility.

"Miss Lyudmila, it's time to disguise the scene."

"Do not...."
