Oracle of Terra

"I just thought you were looking for someone."

Telles always felt that Hei was implying something, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

"You look in good shape, are you more sober from the hangover?"

"Thanks to waking up early in the morning to see someone's blessing, but my matter has indeed been resolved, as you said, it's just unnecessary worry."

"Then I really have to congratulate you, Miss Hei."

"You can just call me black. You don't look like such a polite person, but you always use honorifics when talking to others. Why?"

Hei turned her head and looked at this casually dressed man. If this man wore glasses and didn't always grin in a dissolute manner, she might think that it's okay for this man to speak honorifics and look gentle, but now he This appearance can only make Hei feel a strange sense of disobedience.

"It's always good to be polite, isn't it?"

"I don't deny it, but your politeness always makes me think you're hiding something."

"You are really sharp."

Telles didn't deny Hei's statement, but he didn't answer what he was hiding.

"I heard that the Agor people are a mysterious race, and the people in the Agor band also gave me a feeling of being naughty. Are you the same?"

"Agor Orchestra, do you remember it's called AUS?"

"Yes, a male operator from Rhodes Island asked them for their autographs with a grateful look in the background, but one of them was very interested in accompanying the Rhodes Agor youth, and the one who wanted to sign The man also seemed a little lost."

Thorn and Extreme, Telles remembers that these two people are from Iberia, and it is probably because of this that Thorn was approached. The plain-looking brown-skinned young man is an Agor who is closer to the sea. There may be some empathy between them, but according to Skadi and others, there is an obvious technical gap between the Agors on land and their real Agors who were born in the sea. What do you know?

Telles was lost in thought, perhaps, among them was a chosen one?

But I shook my head immediately, and it wasn't that widespread. If that's the case, Telles should have noticed it when he came to the venue. Imitating the body of the Agor is also for better perception The dangers represented by the lurking voters and the voters in the deep sea are unimaginable. Even on land, the authority of God is enough to exert power that ordinary people can't match.

"Are you interested in singers too? Or is it because you're also an Argor?"

"Almost, but let me tell you first, what I'm hiding is actually nothing. It's just that I'm more likely to be offended by small things, so I try to be polite, so remind myself, don't get angry."

"You look like the kind of person who wouldn't be offended if someone slapped you in the face."

"I can even nod and bow down to someone who is not as strong as me, but I can't bear the things I hate. I got some unsatisfactory results, so now I need to restrain myself and warn myself, this is also the reason why I usually speak angrily and be polite, will it be boring?"

"No, self-discipline is a good thing, but self-discipline that puts pressure on yourself is not very good."

"Are you speaking from your own eyes?"

Telles looked at the female bodyguard in front of her. She just nodded silently after listening to her answer, without getting angry or refuting.

"I thought you were going to poke me a time or two."

"You've been a great help to me, and I kind of like you as a person."

"That... really flatters me."

Telles sighed, he just felt that the favorability of the lady bodyguard was too easy to brush, and he was a little scared.

"You pick it yourself, anyway, everything here is a spare."

The black general Telles led him to the musical instrument warehouse behind the stage, which was the spare parts warehouse prepared for Kiesta's stage performance, which contained good performance costumes and some musical instruments.

In the quiet warehouse, the noise of the stage seemed to be in another world. Listening to the distant voice, Telles looked at Hei standing behind him in a plastic coat under the dim light.

"What else do you look like to say?"

"You're a good person to talk to."

"Then please, it will take me a while to find the right instrument anyway."

Hei was a little hesitant about how to explain, but in the end he sighed and decided to speak in a simpler and clearer way.

"Rhode Island is willing to let the young lady go for an internship, but the master asks me to go with her."

"Isn't this a good thing? Or are you worried about Xista?"

"You mean Cronin? I don't think he can fight the master, and I have also heard that he is still watching around the periphery of Kiesta, together with a group of Colombians."

Speaking of this, there was a sharpness in the black golden eyes, and the fleeting killing intent made Telles realize that it was difficult for her to get out of her past. Maybe Mayor Herman didn't want to Force her out of the past and just want her to live a more peaceful life.

"Have you ever drank the strong wine of Ursus?"

"I've had some, I'm not used to it."

Telles suddenly changed the subject, which made Hei a little confused, but she continued to talk along Telles' topic.

"Sochi is a good place. There are many people from other places. They are all infected. They came to Sochi in order to live a normal life. You will like that place, although Tallulah is not happy with this name. , but most infected people regard Sochi as a piece of paradise, obviously it is just an ordinary city that exists on the earth."

"I heard those Sochi people say that it is a good place, there is no class antagonism, and there is only a peaceful city. What you call ordinary, in the eyes of most people, is rare and precious."

"One day, the entire area of ​​Ursus will become like Sochi, and Tallulah's dream is to make this land like Sochi."

"You seem to care about her?"

Hei is a little curious. Tallulah is a highly rated person in both Sochi and Rhodes Island. The Duke of Infected in Sochi, for the 'noble', Hei can't think of anything immediately. Good impression, but Telles said, it seems that this girl named Tallulah is a bit special.

"She is only one or two years older than Miss Ceylon, and she led a group of people out of the snowy field of Usas. She is upright and kind, but not pedantic."

"The way you talk is like what the master said about the young lady who has returned from her studies."

"She is my heir, she is the person this land really desires, Hei, do you think life and destiny can be changed?"

Telles's question made her a little puzzled, but recalling the past, recalling her encounter with the Herman family, the corner of Hei's mouth rarely showed an arc.

"I think it's okay, because my fate has changed. That was the biggest turning point in my life, and it is also the basic premise for me to be able to chat with you here, Mr. Telles... No, Telles."

Hei walked up to Telles, stared at him with those golden eyes, and then wrapped his arms around his neck.

"I think that people may have the power to change fate, so what about you?"

"In my opinion, fate is like a river. We are in it, desperately upstream, but we will always almost drown, or go through a short torrent, find a stone, and take a rest for a while."

Telles stroked his black face with one hand, recalling the power of fate, he could only smile wryly.

"It seems that you, like me, have failed completely, and then chose something again. The princess named Tallulah is your choice, right?"

The breath was approaching, and Telles didn't know if the bodyguard lady was obsessed or something. She felt that she was in a great mood, and by the way, she wanted him to step on two boats this summer.

"What do you want to ask, Hei, I always feel that something is wrong with you today."

"Because the master said, let me seize the opportunity I want. I think now is a good opportunity."

She put her weight down, and Telles felt a little short of breath. This is the warehouse behind the stage. Not far away, there are a large number of people, and singers and orchestras who are performing hard, and they are in this unmanned warehouse. middle.

"For a killer who wants to preserve his conscience and humanity, the night is a kind of torture. In the dark, he recalls faces one after another, wailing again and again, and cannot sleep peacefully. But last night, those resentments and haunting nightmares It seems to have disappeared, leaving me to sleep peacefully."

"Maybe you're just drunk."

"Even so, for a killer, the opportunity is fleeting."

"The threat is still out there."

"Cronin is not good, Telles, do you want to escape? I remember, you seem to be looking forward to it?"

In the gloom, Miss Black Panther gagged him and pried open his teeth.

"Hei, are you there?"

Outside the warehouse, a voice made her body stiff, and Telles raised her eyebrows.

"it's a pity."

Hei let go of Telles and licked his lips, the latter was quite helpless.

"I actually hope to enjoy it with you somewhere with a better atmosphere."

"I prefer to take my targets in dark places."

"Shall I come in?"

Ceylon pushed open the half-closed door of the warehouse, and what he saw was Hei and Telles rummaging for something in the warehouse.

"Ah, so you are really here. I heard from other security personnel that you went to the back warehouse with someone, but I didn't expect it to be Mr. Telles."

"Good evening, Miss Ceylon, I ask the gangsters to find me some musical instruments."

"Mr. Telles is going to perform on stage?"

"Hahaha, then I really went up to make a fool of myself. It's just that some of my friends want to sing, but unfortunately Zista's musical instrument store is not open, so I thought about coming here to find some to use. It shouldn't be a problem. Bar?"

After hearing this, Ceylon waved her hands quickly.

"Of course there is no problem. In fact, although the spare parts in these warehouses are often under maintenance, there are very few opportunities to use them. Mr. Telles has helped Zista a lot. If you don't mind, I can directly send these instruments to you."

"Really? Do you mind if I take a few more?"

"You..."

Hei didn't know how to describe Telles who was greedy for cheap in this kind of place, but thinking that he had taken advantage of him just now, he didn't plan to say anything more.

"Of course there is no problem. I think Mr. Telles also gave it to a friend. Anyway, there is no place to use these instruments. Instead of placing them here, it is better to give full play to their original value."

"Then I'm welcome."

Telles picked up several boxes, smiled and waved, and left the warehouse.

"See you later, Miss Ceylon, and Hei."

"See you later, Mr. Telles."

"See you."

After someone happily took advantage and left the warehouse, Ceylon also smiled.

"Mr. Telles is really an interesting person. I heard from Rhodes Island that he was still a great craftsman in Sochi."

"Is he a craftsman?"

"Yeah, when I first heard that he solved the volcano problem, I thought he was a scholar, but I didn't expect that he was a famous craftsman in Ursus. I heard that the young lady who worked with him was the number one blacksmith on Terra. Woolen cloth."

"Year?"

Hei remembered that Telles seemed to be Kiesta who came with five women.

"interesting."

"Black? What's the matter? You look a little happy."

Ceylon always felt that Hei was much happier today than before. Maybe it was because of the things she said not long ago that made her let go of some knots?

"It's just that I found a better goal. The master also said that I can also pursue my own life. Although I plan not to leave until the eldest lady can become independent, Sochi is indeed an interesting place."

"Indeed, I hope to cure your ore disease faster, so that you can become more free."

"Thank you, miss."

After Telles left, he carried his things all the way back to the deserted street. I remember that he seemed to see the people from Penguin Logistics on the stage before he left, but it’s better not to interfere with them. On a whim, he was dragged to the stage.

"How slow, Monsieur Priest."

Ghost Shark tapped the guardrail with his fingers, while Skadi squatted halfway, holding a red inflatable killer whale in his arms, and looked at Telles who was coming not far away with big bags.

"Let's change places. Even if I have enough strength, it will be troublesome to carry so many things."

"Are you planning to start a band?"

"Start an Argonian band?"

Telles laughed at himself. After all, he doesn't have any musical talent, but these two seem to be pretty good.

"Speaking of which, can Gloria sing?"

"I am not sure."

Skadi is the kind of unofficial person who voluntarily becomes a deep-sea hunter. She is not very clear about people from the Agor military like Gloria and Ghost Shark, not to mention that Gloria used to be quite tall. cold.

"She is good at musical instruments, but she is not good at singing. For example, she is a keyboard player other than the lead singer and guitar. Her fingers are very nimble, and she can occasionally be seen playing in her own room."

"It sounds very classy, ​​but Telles obviously doesn't have a piano among the instruments, right?"

"There's no room for a piano in the box, but since Gloria's skills are good, maybe I can look forward to other aspects."

The three returned to the hotel in this way. As for Shirter and Xi Dejia, who hadn't appeared for a long time, they were busy participating in the music festival. Although the red-haired Miss Sarkaz seemed indifferent, she liked it unexpectedly. listen to music.

"generally."

This was Gloria's reaction after she took out the violin from the box and tried it out a few times.

The Argonian consul seemed to have high taste and vision.

"But it can be seen that the work is done with great care, and it's not bad."
