Thank you for the invitation. I am in Terra, just under the stars.

Continuous heavy snow covers the wasteland, and infrastructure work in Kazdel City, surrounded by power armor construction teams from Iron Blood Heavy Industries, is in full swing.

The film wife wrapped in a black coat walked on the snowy soil. Under the shadow of the towering city wall, the flying snowflakes were as cold as her expression, falling on the frost-like jade fat, condensing into an indestructible cold.

The thickened leather boots for warmth left deep footprints in the heavy snow. Hearing the noisy noise of Kazdaele's construction, Lilia frowned slightly and looked to her side.

Very close to her, just like the distance she used to walk with her husband when he was still alive, a young man wearing the same coat as her walked side by side with a smile.

For some reason, he carried a faint scent of truffle, which was clearly conveyed in the cold air.

Thinking of what might happen after being invited out, Lilia was a little nervous. She raised her hand and touched her collar, where a light blue scarf was tied.

After taking a short breath of the cold winter air to calm down her brain that was getting hotter, Lilia said in a low voice:

"here is……?"

"The capital of Kazdaele, your teacher, that old lynx is here."

"Are we going to see the teacher?"

Lilia's tone was a little uneasy.

She didn't want to meet her old friends with this man, especially the teacher who knew that she had a husband and took care of her daughter on her behalf.

such……

It always left her with an unforgettable sense of betrayal.

Fortunately that is not the case.

Zhou Cheng laughed with disdain for the old lynx and asked:

"Why are we going to see that old woman during such a great time? Listen to her riddles? We just happen to be passing by. Look, that's our destination."

He raised his arm covered with wide sleeves and pointed to an independent building in front of him outside the city.

They are three buildings with a very simple and efficient style, seven or eight stories high, occupying a very wide area, and are connected by sky walkways.

It looked a bit empty, with no one inside, but there were traces of human activity in some places, as if all the people had suddenly disappeared.

"here?"

"Kazidel National Originium Research Institute"

"The sound is so loud, isn't it noisy?"

"It's not noisy. There is a layer of isolation device to prevent outsiders from entering and also provide sound insulation."

While explaining, Zhou Cheng took Lilia's hand.

The wife's hands are not as petite as the girl's, but they have a special sense of warmth and tolerance.Maybe it’s because I have a daughter. It’s obviously not as good as The Shining physically, but it has a different kind of excitement.

Lilia paused for a moment, did not resist, and allowed her hand to be grasped by this man who looked younger than herself.

Then, under his leadership, he quickly walked towards the research institute, which looked a bit like a modern hospital.

You can feel that a thin film has passed through it as you get closer. It was a bit repulsive at first, but after a while, your body was accepted.

And just after entering, the originally empty research institute immediately appeared with several walking figures, walking through the field in front of the building, and the sound of conversation also reached my ears instead of the noise made by the engineering team.

Seemingly noticing the newcomers, they glanced here. One of the Sakaz girls' eyes lit up, and she stepped forward and said:

"Hello, are you new colleagues?"

"No, but I did come to visit a new operator. We are her family members." Zhou Cheng replied with a smile.

Seeing the little girl staring at the hands held by him and Lilia, he continued:

"We are her elders."

"Ah...huh?"

After a small exclamation, the little girl looked back regretfully.

"Sorry, I thought you guys..."

Seemingly realizing that this was not polite, she did not continue.But even so, Lilia knew what she wanted to say next, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but she didn't show it on her face.

Lilia felt that at least she didn't look that old, she was only thirty at most, so how could such a misunderstanding arise.

Zhou Cheng didn't pay much attention, skipped the topic and asked:

"It's Yaye, do you know where she is?"

"Aye? She should be reading in the library at this time."

"Then we'll go find her. Thank you. Goodbye."

Farewell to the little girl, Zhou Cheng pulled Lilia towards the library.

The National Research Institute in Kazdaele not only has industry giants, but also a lot of potential newcomers. After all, talents in this field in Kazdaele are indeed scarce, so many qualified newcomers can enter here and learn while doing it - of course It starts with small things.

In a sense, it is also temporarily performing the work of the highest university. Some people who have studied here will leave the scientific research institute to work in other positions.

Lilia is one of such students. After arriving at the Research Institute, she entered a very self-disciplined life. She gets up at 07:30 every day, goes for a morning run while memorizing foreign language words, and then goes to have breakfast, which is around 08:30. I entered the library at midnight and read until lunch time.

She actually wanted to get up earlier, but then she wouldn't have enough time at night.

After lunch, she would go to the laboratory named by Teacher Kelsey to work until dinner.After dinner, I sometimes have meetings, sometimes I go for a walk with Teacher Kelsey, and if I have nothing to do, I go to the library to read until I go back to the dormitory to wash up and fall asleep at ten o'clock in the evening.

"..."

The library is very quiet.

You can see that on the edge of the window seat, some young people of different races are reading books intently, and many of them are taking notes in a small notebook.

However, the number of people was not large for the size of the library, making the library look a little deserted.After all, it is a national scientific research institute. Even if it recruits new students, it will only recruit those who have real potential, or those who are determined to enter certain departments in the future and are sent to be trained by those departments.

Looking at the faces of these people, Lilia suddenly thought that if her daughter grew up safely, she would be similar to them this year...

almost……"

"...!?"

Lilia's eyes suddenly opened wide, and she thought of an extremely terrifying thing.

Is it possible that the next person I want to see is my daughter?

The film wife stopped.

She hadn't spoken yet, but Zhou Cheng seemed to have read through her thoughts, lowered his body to her ear, and whispered to the slightly trembling cat ears:

"Don't you want to meet Louisa?"

Louisa…

Of course Lilia wanted to see Luisa, not only she wanted to see her, but she also wanted to touch her face and hug her body.

However, going with a man who will enter his body to meet his daughter who has been separated from each other in life and death...

Dry!How strange!

How do I tell Louisa this?

Tell her, good daughter, is this your new father?

36. A gift for Luisa

Ursus...

usas.

How many people yearn for that country, which is known as a great country, and how many people hate it.

A new student at the National Research Institute, Yaye, is the one who hates Ursus.

Yaye's name was Louisa, an Ursus.

But along with this identity comes an unabashed hatred of Ursus.

Her anger and hatred are not personal, but will only be poured out into the vast country known as the "Usus Empire".

As a Philin living in Ursus, Yaye's living environment was very harsh in the past, and all she could pursue was a full meal every day.

After moving to the mobile city of Chernobog with her mother's job transfer, she naively thought she was about to live a good life.

But it didn't take long for everything to fall into pieces.

From the sparse fragments and omens, Louisa pieced together the real cause of her mother's death - Ursus.

From then on, she began to continue to learn, understand, and understand from every aspect what kind of country Ursus was, and every deeper understanding only made her anger grow day by day.

This anger lasted until Ursus became history and Drak stepped onto the world stage.

But Louisa didn't feel happy, she only felt empty.

How about Ursus disappearing?

His father, who he barely saw a few times, always took care of his mother, and they would never come back.

The most unforgettable thing for her was that she had not even called her mother "mom" in person.

Like many children, young Louisa was very stubborn. She always wanted to appear mature in front of others, and such an affectionate name was a very difficult word for her to say at that time.

After many times seeing her mother disappointed because of the issue of addressing her, Louisa was already vaguely wondering whether she should be like this.

But unfortunately, opportunities wait for no one.

Once some things have passed, there is no possibility of recovery.

Never again.

"..."

Louisa looked over the sentences in the book.

She tried to immerse herself in it and temporarily forget the pain through those boring words.

But it didn't work.

The sadness of losing a loved one always lingers in the heart, while the endless emptiness and confusion about the future permeate every corner of the mind.

Misery and confusion.

Since learning of the demise of the 'Usus Empire', Louisa has been in this state for many hours a day.She could only ignore it as much as possible, but those things she ignored would turn into a deeper shadow that enveloped her every night.

But at this moment, a gentle male voice sounded softly at a volume that complied with the library's quiet rules.

"Hello, can I sit here?"

Louisa raised her head and followed the sound and saw a young man wearing a black coat.

He seemed to be not much older than her, with a relaxed chuckle on his handsome face, looking sunny and cheerful - he seemed to be the kind of winner in life who lived a very comfortable life.

It looked familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

It's not the kind of 'familiarity' that one thinks because the other person is good-looking, but it has truly left an impression in the memory.

The impression was neither too great nor too small, and Louisa soon remembered where she had seen it.

Not long ago, when she was brought to Kazdare by her teacher, she had the honor to enter the palace because of her teacher's status as Minister of Internal Affairs, meet the Queen of this land, and have dinner together - if and she worked overtime in the office If the teacher and your majesty had some snacks together, it would be considered a common meal.

It was in that office that she saw the Queen's wedding anniversary photo. Her Majesty Theresia, wearing a pure white wedding dress, smiled happily at the camera and stood arm in arm with a smiling young man.

The young man who appeared in front of him had exactly the same facial features and expression as in that photo.

"Excuse me...are you His Royal Highness?"

After a slight hesitation, Louisa used the name she recognized.

Zhou Cheng nodded slightly and said:

"Just call me Zhou Cheng, or dean. I also have a temporary position in the Research Institute."

The prince is indeed his identity, after all, he is married to Theresia, but he is not very accustomed to such a title that symbolizes status and power.

"Dean."

Louisa followed suit and chose the second title.

Perhaps because of her close relationship with the Scientific Research Institute, her eyes were less distant, but she still kept a distance from the big shots and asked:

"Excuse me, what do you want from me?"
