Tyra, your ancestors are back!

The real guide is Miss Xingji who is introducing Alice to the land under her feet.

"Emperor (anti-pinch) system...."

Alice raised her eyebrows...

"That's right... Also, Miss Alice—Ursas actually obtained a lot of war benefits during the external expansion during the former emperor's period, and completed the domestic industrialization, making the country's power rapidly strong."

"Then it should be soon... The rapid development of productivity will also drive changes and progress in social classes and ideas... This country will face a revolution."

"Well...Although it's not the same as you think...But, Ursas's country is indeed about to face a change—"

"The expansion war of the first emperor of Ursus ended at the border of Dongguo, where the combined army of Dongguo and Yanguo defeated Ursas' army."

"The failure of the war and the death of the former emperor led to the outbreak of irreconcilable conflicts among the army, the new nobles, and the old nobles. It is foreseeable that the current reigning Emperor of Usas, His Excellency Fyodor Vladimirovich, is destined to There is going to be a big change.”

"...Interesting, what about the little emperor's own attitude?"

Alice raised her eyebrows and showed an interested look——

"Well... It is said that His Excellency Fyodor Vladimirovich has the ambition to change the status quo of Ursus? But I think that His Majesty the Emperor may be powerless at the moment..."

"Oh? Miss Xingji, how did you see it?"

"Most of Ursus's main battle legions are legions stationed in Xinjiang. They are far away from the direct influence of the imperial power and are more likely to be influenced by the old and new nobles. The little emperor should actually only be able to control the rumored Ursas army. The inner guard and the Fifth Army, which publicly declared its allegiance to the emperor."

"However, there is good news for His Majesty—at least the new nobleman of Ursus is on his side."

"However, speaking from my personal wishes... I actually hope that His Majesty the Emperor will succeed."

"Oh?"

"The emperor is Terra, one of the few rulers who tried to implement a policy of discrimination against the infected and against Ursus's endless war... and the situation of the infected, I think you have heard enough from us. ...and the reality is only worse than what we say, and the war is also self-evident."

Looking at Alice's puzzled eyes, Xingji explained to the pioneer in front of him the value of this ruler...

"Interesting... Maybe we should go meet the Emperor if we have a chance..."

"Hmm...Master Alice...Emperor Ursus, who is protected by the inner guards and lives in St. Jun Castle all the year round, is not nice."

Alice, who heard Li Boli's girl's reminder, showed an interesting expression, she shrugged——

"Miss Xingji...what do you think—my Excellency Fyodor Vladimirovich...normally...who is more difficult to see?"

The purple pupil of the white-haired woman stared at Li Boli scholar with a little teasing——

"Uh... I'm sorry ma'am, but if you really want to see the emperor, you'd better pay attention to the internal guards."

"It is said that the bodies wrapped in their military uniforms are no longer human."

After thinking about it, Xing Ji seriously reminded the white-haired woman in front of him.

"I've made a note of it. Thank you for reminding me, Miss Xingji—but, it's just a prototype of an idea at the moment."

Chapter 18 Natural disasters chase civilization, civilization breeds natural disasters

"Speaking of which, I didn't pay attention before...the commander has such a good temper..."

Looking at the Sakaz girl jumping in front, 45 and 416 reached some kind of consensus after a long absence——

The latter may be more suitable for characters such as polar bears or foxes. From time to time, some small animals such as ferrets, or mice, rabbits, etc. are pulled out from the snow-oh no, or it should be said that Zarak and Ka Bestie?

With a white ferret stuffed in her arms by a Sarkaz girl and a bewildered white snow rabbit sitting on her head, Alice looked at the surrounding environment and nodded with a slightly satisfied expression.

"Seems to be recovering well...."

"Um...what are you talking about?"

Hearing Alice talking to herself, Xingji turned his head and looked at the consul in front of him with some doubts.

"I said the environment is recovering well, and the environmental regulation system seems to be functioning all the time."

"In our era, this place was fortified, and a large number of orbital anti-aircraft guns were deployed here. In that era, you could only see endless silver-gray steel here, without a trace of white."

"In other words, the current Terra..."

Thinking of something, Xingji looked at Alice in front of him in surprise...

"If the environmental and ecological adjustment device has been operating normally - this land of Terra is what it was originally like."

The white-haired woman nodded, looking at Xingji who started to take notes with his head down——

"Wait a minute—Ms. Alice... If the pioneers can modify the environment of the entire planet, then what are those natural disasters..."

"I have no idea--"

"If earthquakes, storms, and volcanic eruptions can be considered as natural forces...then you talk about meteorites falling and fire burning cities, I can only classify them as supernatural phenomena."

Alice shook her head. The white-haired woman was also confused about what the natural disaster described by her descendants was.

"In my time, there was no concept of such natural disasters - and I noticed one thing..."

"You mentioned that civilization escapes from natural disasters, natural disasters bring origin stones, and origin stones bring prosperity to civilization... This is a one-way process-let us simply arrange it in order: natural disasters→origin stones→civilization; And a one-way process cannot form a long-term cycle.”

"Although I haven't witnessed the natural disasters you speak of with my own eyes, we can make a bold guess with this information, or form a new sequence——

"Civilization→Origin Stone→Natural Disasters, you mentioned that the civilization of this era has entered industrialization through Origin Stone, and judging from your performance in casting spells, I am not optimistic about your utilization rate of industrialization."

"A large amount of Originium waste dust will be discharged into the atmosphere, settle to the ground or travel with the high-altitude airflow and walk the entire land."

"This is based on the necessary conditions for natural disasters in your mouth, or the pre-environment...Then, Xingji—let's talk about the origin stone itself, which is a substance that is very sensitive to spiritual energy. Then the spiritual energy there Is the energy active enough?"

Alice looked at the scholar aside, who fell into a brief silence...

"Cities, mobile cities - mobile city-states built by people to avoid the impact of natural disasters, and there are a large number of people there."

"That's right, the active spiritual energy brought by the gathering of the crowd activated the silent Originium dust, making them active, gathering and finally forming a natural disaster."

"This also exactly corresponds to what you said... Natural disasters accompany the growth of civilization, and natural disasters chase after the figure of civilization."

"Well... I think your guess is correct, Miss Alice."

"Oh? Looks like you have other evidence to help me with this argument?"

The white-haired woman gave an interested look.

"As far as I know, every mobile city has a fixed movement route, and unless it is to avoid sudden natural disasters, it will not easily change the course."

"Almost all energy and material supply exchanges are completed on this waterway - especially in terms of energy. Most large mobile city-states can be self-sufficient in energy to a large extent."

"According to your theory, natural disasters will actively gather and erupt toward active mobile city-states—and mobile cities often move regularly to avoid natural disasters, so that the source stones of natural disasters will be left behind this channel, waiting for the next time Once the city passes here again, it can use a large excavation device to take away these origin stones for its own use."

"In this way, a cycle is achieved... The city-state continuously emits source stone dust powder in order to operate. Because of its own characteristics, the source stone dust powder continues to chase densely populated cities and absorb energy that can be absorbed on the road—— It ended up being a natural disaster."

"...Well, Ms. Alice, if this is the case—are we never able to get rid of the effects of natural disasters?"

"Wrong, Miss Xingji - in the final analysis, it's just the limitations of the times and technology..."

"Originstone energy cannot be fully utilized, and exhaust gas emissions have caused secondary pollution... If you really want to reduce the frequency of natural disasters, just attach an Originium dust collection device to the exhaust gas/waste outlet of the industry...Although it cannot Completely prevent leakage, but at least you can collect the settled Origin Stone dust and recycle part of it..."

"The energy-absorbing properties of the origin stone itself can even allow you to get something for nothing... Find a place to store it well... After a while, there will be another batch of high-quality goods with bright colors."

Alice immediately gave a solution - the ore disease is a social problem, and I, the Grand Consul, will not be able to solve it for a while. It is hard to say such things as reducing the frequency of natural disasters and improving the recycling of energy?

......

"Very good! I invested in your proposal! 2000w Longmen coins, not 5000w!!! What do you think?!"

While Alice was explaining the solution to Xingji, someone suddenly spoke Colombian in the silent snow... The duck, who had been wearing a suit all along, jumped out of the snow excitedly, looking It looks like a huge business opportunity has been discovered.

The latter excitedly rushed in the direction of Alice, and was immediately pushed to the ground by the members of the 404 team who reacted quickly. The four black muzzles pointed at the duck who somehow got mixed up nearby. .

And after the two parties, or the duck simply calmed down, Xingji was a little surprised to recognize the duck in front of him...

"You are, Mr. Duck??! Why are you here? This is the tundra of Ursus."

"That's right, I'm officially the most famous angel investor in Colombia!! Young man, wherever there are business opportunities, there will be the shadow of my Duck Lord - I have seen you, the little girl Liboli who likes to look at the stars, Ubica The eldest daughter of the family, right?"

"Uh... yes, Mr. Duck... the one next to me is—"

Before Xingji introduced... as the "beast master", Ya Jue seemed to recognize who the white-haired and purple-eyed woman in front of him was...

"....Mom!!"

"The dead come back to life! Gopnik - there's a ghost here!!!"

Chapter 19 Ducks are all tough-mouthed. If they were dead, they would be even tougher.jpg

The scene reached a strange impasse——

Mr. Gopnik, the Duck bodyguard who has always been famous in Columbia for giving you a punch when he meets you, also lost the idea of ​​giving two punches to the opposite party at this moment——

After all, being pointed at by four gun-like things, no one wants to go up and have a try. What's more, the shape of these "gun tools" is completely different from Lateran's style... I am accompanying the boss in the forerunner ruins When I was wandering around, I saw many similar ones——

Never try out the dangers of a Forerunner creation - even if you think it just looks similar.

Neither going up nor retreating, Mr. Gopnik could only protect Yajue behind him. The Ursus was nervously confronting the tactical dolls in front of him.

And Team 404, who was Miss Alice's guard, half-surrounded the spirit bear and a... "duck"?

"Ghost, a duck that can speak human..."

UMP9, who held his gun and stared at the movements of the two, sighed casually.

However, it seems that because a certain white-haired woman has not responded, the tactical dolls did not face the two Finnish people who emerged from the snow in front of them... oh no, what did the Colombians do.

"Wait—Mr. Duck, do you know Miss Alice??"

And Xing Ji, who finally realized something, widened his eyes, the tone of the question and the expression on his face were inconceivable.

"No, no, no—I don't know, I don't know, I'm just passing by, you didn't see anything, you didn't see anything...!"

The duck looked at a certain white-haired and purple-eyed Miss Alice with a signature smile on her face. She felt a sudden chill all over her body, and the whole duck shivered subconsciously, and she could still see signs of fried hair.

While explaining that it was all a misunderstanding, Ya Jue stepped back and estimated the distance between himself and the tactical figures—just when he was sure of winning and was about to turn his head and run, a gentle female voice interrupted her actions.

"I remember you..."Duck Jue"—is that the name you gave yourself?"

The silent white-haired woman looked at the duck who was about to run away and finally spoke.

"...I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming, this man has been missing for at least 10 years, I must have seen a ghost, um, I must have seen a ghost!"

After completing the self-hypnosis, Ya Jue turned his head, raised his hand that probably represented wings, and pointed at the white-haired woman in front of him——

"You, you, you --!!! You female ghost, don't come out with this face to scare us old people! Do you know who this face is? You know you broke the law, you broke the law!!!"

The duck in a suit pointed at the white-haired woman in front of him, and began to "hypnotize" himself——

"This is the appearance of Ms. Alice the Immortal, the Archon of the Forerunners back then!"

"If you are seen by the agents left behind by those pioneers in this era, you will be beaten to death, you female ghost, and you will never be reborn forever!"

"Duck Lord, I'm a good person and I'm kindly reminding you - you must listen to it!"

......

The scene fell into silence again, and the deep hypnosis of self-awareness of the duck in front of her made Miss Alice's eyebrows unavoidably raised...

"Is Mr. Gopnik right?"

The white-haired woman with a ceremonial smile looked at the Ursas guard beside her, and there seemed to be some atavistic phenomena. The bodyguard of this duck is a literal bear man, with a bear head and a human body, with hair lush.

"Uh, yes, ma'am."

No matter how bad this Ursas man is, so that the code name is no different from the name of a gangster on the streets of Ursas, he can still feel that something is wrong with the lady in front of him at this moment, and his brain tells the functioning Gopnik He exhausted all his life's knowledge and made a respectful greeting to the woman.

"Can you let me go, it seems that your boss's head is not working well."

The indestructible person Yajue was talking about made a gesture of invitation... After a simple comparison of the gap and form between the two sides, Gopnik decisively stepped aside.

“No problem, ma’am—you’re welcome.”

Xiong Jing, who stepped aside, got out of the way, completely exposing a certain duck in front of everyone...

"45?"

"Are you here, Commander?"

Alice then called the name of another humanoid girl, and she immediately responded.

"Our Mr. Yajue, it seems that his brain is not very smart..."

Miss Alice showed a gentle and caring expression, looking at the "little duck" as if she was hysterical.

"Understood—hey, dead duck, where do you want to go? Come here!!"
