Tyra, your ancestors are back!

"After all, I've rested long enough—it's time for Wei Wei to get serious..."

"Do you want to go back to Columbia now, or come with me? Duckling."

Alice looked at Yajue in front of her, waiting for his answer——

"Well, I'll follow you. Besides, Dopnik is a native of Ursas, so he might be a tour guide, and now I can't do anything when I go back alone..."

Yajue, who seemed to have thought of something, showed a pained expression.

"Oh?"

"It's like this, ma'am, in Colombia, money can really turn ghosts around. But there are two exceptions-the Alcohol and Tobacco Spell Unit and the Originium Drug Administration and the Colombian Taxation Bureau."

"According to our future plans, the end-land industry will definitely involve origin stone products... The Colombian administration has always strictly scrutinized this, or it is the case in most countries."

"We want to get involved in this industry—an agent alone won't work, you have to go to Colombia in person to sign the authority's contract and letter of guarantee, and you also need a reputable guarantor."

"And the local administration will probably appoint a commissioner on a permanent basis to oversee our production."

"It's reasonable...after all, the origin stone is indeed a dangerous substance."

The consul nodded approvingly, and didn't seem to have any opinions.

"But...it's no big deal...when you really want to do something, ma'am, I don't think they can stop you."

Chapter 22 Infected Pickets on the Tundra

"Wow - doesn't look great from a distance..."

When Miss Alice and Ya Jue were discussing their future plans, Sa Huan ran to the front, and V, who had already left the team at a normal speed, noticed something wrong.

In an unnamed Ursus infected mine not far away, thick smoke is billowing, and cries can be heard vaguely...

"Ghost...is this mine ran into robbers?"

After observing the movement of the Ursas mine in the distance, Ms. V muttered; she glanced behind her—well, she seemed to be rushing too far, leaving her teammates behind...

"It's not good, it's not good... Hiss, but a group of bandits should be easy to deal with, right?"

Seeing that the reinforcements will not be able to arrive for a while, V began to assess the difference in strength between himself and the chaotic scene in the mine in the distance...

"Don't worry about it! Let's touch it first to see the situation—old man, you'd better not fool me."

The Sarkaz girl, who made up her mind to pay attention, remembered the bragging about her old man when he was drunk in the past——

[Virgil—our Balrog clan was once a member of the Kazdel Sarkaz court in ancient times... If our lineage has not declined, counting by seniority, this generation The lord of the royal court will fall on you~]

"The heir to the royal court of Sarkaz... I should be considered a strong one, right? After all, Aunt Alice gave me a pretty good evaluation of my origin stone spells..."

The muttering Miss Virgil slipped into this chaotic mine quietly—but the young heir to the royal family seems to have forgotten one thing...

Not all Originium Warlocks are good at melee combat, and the young Miss Virgil happens to be a melee fighter at the moment. Apart from the strength and physique of the Sarkaz clan, the girl has no advantage in hand-to-hand combat...

-------------------------------------

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, Commander; there was an accident up front."

UMP45 intervenes in Alice and Duck's conversation, interrupting their conversation.

"Accident... oh?"

Miss Alice, who was interrupted, turned her head to look at UMP45, and soon noticed the scene behind her——

In the direction about five kilometers away from where the team was located, a soaring black smoke rose into the sky...

"Hmm...the screams of children, the wailing of the dead...the smirk of those who have succeeded in their desires..."

The consul's purple pupils narrowed slightly, and the power from the void began to jump in it...

"—and a fool who wants to be a hero...?"

Through a perspective that ordinary people cannot understand, the Archon sees and understands what is happening in the distance...

"What do we need to do, Commander?"

Hearing Alice whispering, 45 immediately became serious, and Yajue's bodyguard, Gopnik, also frowned...

"All cruel pleasures...will come to a cruel end - 45, let them pay the price."

The consul did not hesitate at all, she gave the order; and the humanoid girl quickly understood the meaning.

"Your will, Commander."

"By the way, did that brat slip away to that place too? Commander?"

45, who turned around to gather the team, immediately realized that there was one person missing... a Sarkaz girl who was having fun had long since disappeared.

"That's right... there seems to be a mine there...."

Alice nodded, approving the guess of the humanoid girl.

"It's time to go, the little guy has a black nose and a swollen face from being beaten by a hero..."

Alice shook her hand and signaled to 45 that she had better act quickly.

"That reckless brat better get a good beating first...."

Miss 45, who complained, waved to her team members and activated the powered exoskeleton on her body...

"And how did that kid rush to the mine five kilometers away in less than 6 minutes??!"

"Racial talent, right...?"

Alice tilted her head and gave an explanation——

"Anyway, it's always a good thing for young people to have energy..."

"That brat's racial talent is better—!"

The members of the 404 team who activated the body forced march mode left a complaint and then rushed towards the distant mine, turning into black spots in the eyes of the remaining people.

Alice, who shook her head helplessly, looked at Gopnik, whose face turned gloomy. The Ursus man seemed to be in a bad mood...

"Looks like you have something to say... Mr. Gopnik?"

"Infested pickets from Ursus...."

Yajue's bodyguard gave out a word without thinking...

"Infected pickets?"

The consul who heard this word showed a curious look...

"The life of the common people on the Ursas tundra is extremely difficult. The worry about the food harvest and the oppression of the nobles' taxes occupy everything for them. Even if they deliberately approach the waterway of the mobile city, they cannot bring them opportunities and prosperity, ma'am."

"And those gentry and local tyrants who are attached to power provide a more convenient soil for the picket team of the infected to exploit the poor. This organization was originally a non-governmental organization spontaneously formed by a group of people who were extremely hostile to the infected."

"However, with the growth of this non-governmental organization, its members began to be mixed, including all walks of life from all walks of life, and their ideas gradually changed and distorted. Although they are non-governmental organizations, they receive money from officials and nobles—you should know this, my lord. mean something."

After explaining, Gopnik looked at Miss Alice.

"Ah... an organization that lacks supervision, but has official and powerful endorsements and even funds for activities..."

"Kill the good and pretend to be the adulterer... Lie about the project...?"

The Archon quickly came to his conclusion.

"Not only, my lord."

Gopnik shook his head...

"Every time an infected person is found, the picket team can receive a generous reward. If they catch a living one, they can get an additional bounty. In Ursus-infected people are no different from slaves."

"And they will artificially create infected people...My lord."

"And the local nobles basically acquiesce or even condone the occurrence of this kind of thing-the tundra of Ursas has always been barren, and most of the local residents live on hunting and agriculture, and how many people have access to expensive source stones and related products, but the local infected people are still emerging in an endless stream after so many years.”

The former Ursus soldier seemed to get more and more excited as he talked, he punched a dead tree beside him, and snow fell from it...

"The black smoke in the distance, if I'm guessing right, it's a riot in the local infected mine."

“…”

He was answered by a brief silence from the Archon...

"Are those nobles completely indifferent...? Mr. Gopnik."

"Because of profit, ma'am—those Originium mines that can bring huge profits need infected people to mine, and these industries often belong to the local nobles."

"That's it...it sounds like it's not a good thing..."

After a short thought, the consul in front of him responded, different from his tone of neither joy nor sorrow——the strange psychic lightning on the white-haired woman began to jump slightly.

Chapter 23 Little White Rabbit, White and White——

"Have you seen such a thing before?"

Seeing Miss Alice, who was clearly in a certain state of displeasure, Xing Ji asked cautiously.

"A long time ago...? Of course, and a lot."

Alice's answer was simple——

"Then why are you... so "dissatisfied"?"

Xingji looked at the Miss Consul with neither joy nor sorrow in her tone, but her body was jumping with dangerous lightning, and after careful consideration, she chose to use the word "dissatisfaction" to describe her...

"Because I have seen it before, I don't want to let such a sad and stupid thing happen again, girl of the Ubika family."

This time, the archon did not answer the girl's question. The former seemed to focus on some kind of spell released from a distance—the ancient man from Columbia answered this question.

"Mr. Duck...?"

"In the past era... this kind of dirty thing has long been cut off by the pioneers, little girl..."

"Well, have you ever been to Lateran, Ubica's girl?"

Yajue, who seemed to have thought of a suitable comparison, asked Xingji a question...

"Rutland? I know something about it, but I haven't visited that Theocracy yet..."

Li Boli girl was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

"It was a city-state known for its laws and justice—although Lateran's laws would only restrain and protect the Sakotas...but to be honest, if it wasn't for those Sakotas who really liked to mess with Big bang stuff, I love that country..."

"In that city, I can glimpse the glory of the forerunner civilization in the distant past-a country full of justice and order."

Yajue shook his head, jumped onto Xingji's shoulder, and explained to the girl in a low voice——

"It is indeed an annoying thing for the consuls who have cut off injustice and injustice in the past to see the ashes and ashes of the past that were destroyed by their own hands in a new era... No, it is for everyone An annoying thing at the touch of a button."

"But you don't need to think that Miss Alice is angry... You haven't seen a psyker in Alphaga really get angry—it's a very scary thing."

"She's just a little unhappy..."

"Is it really okay... Mr. Yajue? The frequency of those arc jumps on Miss Alice seems to be getting higher and higher..."

"No problem, girl—Ms. Alice is actually very clear in her heart. Every era has its limitations. You can't ask a newly enlightened primitive to understand and drive a star warship, right? ..."

"As for those psychic lightning... the normal phenomenon of inspired spell casting - Ms. Alice may be preparing to cast some spell..."

"Uh... ok."

-------------------------------------

Ursus Tundra Unnamed Mine

"Stupid Ursus, come and bite me!"

In the burning mine, the Sakaz girl created a big fireball that caused the pursuers behind her to flip over.

Of course, the state of the Sarkaz girl at the moment is not very good. The left sleeve of the new clothes she picked up from the city in the sky has been soaked in blood at this moment, and a scar that is obviously a chop is clearly visible.

In addition to forgetting that he is not good at melee combat, V who sneaked into the mine also forgot another thing - he is also not good at sneaking.

After sneaking into the mine, she was quickly discovered by the Ursus soldiers who were suppressing the infected, and naturally there was nothing to talk about between the two. With the violent explosion of the first fireball, this chasing battle began to unfold. That's how it ended--

"Hey, er, er! Come over here...!"

Just when the Sakaz girl temporarily blew away the pursuers in the rear and got rid of the enemy, a somewhat bright voice sounded among the rioting infected group...

And as the noisy sound of chasing soldiers in the distance surrounded in this direction, the owner of this bright voice seemed to be a little anxious, and stretched out a hand from the crowd, bleeding a lot, and his footsteps were a little bit The vain Sakaz girl dragged in.

"Wow - who are you - huh huh!?"
