There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

"Let me think..."

Tallulah's question made Talia ponder for a while. She didn't know why Tallulah asked such a question. Did she reveal some flaw again?

Forget it, just go along with her for now!

"Then... whatever you want to do!"

With her arms around Tallulah's neck, Talia put her forehead against Tallulah's. When their eyes met, her eyes were full of sincerity.

PS: I deleted two posts earlier and would like to apologize to that guy here. You did nothing wrong. It is the world that is wrong!

I understand everyone's desire to speak freely, but please do not use real place names. The editor has already sent a message to the author group to warn that this is Terra, and there are only Ursus and Dayan.

Volume 3: Chapter 44: Even those in high positions and with great power cannot escape!

In Ursus, due to its location, the nights here are generally very cold. Even if it is not as cold as the snowfields, it is much colder than countries like Casimir.

The hotel where Talia and her friends stayed was a standard one. Only the high-end rooms had heating equipment such as fireplaces, while the other rooms could only rely on quilts to keep warm.

Fortunately, Talia has Tallulah, a human-shaped self-propelled heating stove, so she can sleep comfortably until dawn.

Under the quilt, Talia clung to Tallulah like an octopus. Driven by the cold, Talia hugged Tallulah tightly, fearing that she would leave.

After getting rid of this clingy person, Talulah got out of bed and started to wash up. She still had serious things to do today.

She didn't come here to accompany Talia shopping, she also came to contact the infected people in this city and exchange information with each other.

After washing up, Tallulah pulled Talia out of bed and forced the lazy bird to clean up her personal hygiene.

"Would you like to join me? Or do you want to wander around on your own?"

While tidying up Talia's clothes, Tallulah asked Talia about her plans for the day.

The two of them had gone a little too far in their fight last night, and had long since forgotten about their itinerary.

That being said, no matter what Talia chooses, she must stay by Tallulah's side, even if she can move freely in and out of the city.

Ursus's harsh laws only apply to those infected and the poor living in the wilderness. For those living in the city, Ursus is definitely a powerful country.

This assumes you don't get infected with oripathy.

It's very early now and there are few pedestrians on the street. The only people you can see are vendors selling breakfast.

After buying Talia some breakfast, Tallulah took her straight to the center of Dundelk, where she was going to meet the person she was going to meet this time.

The leader of the Dundelk infected!

"Is this...a library?"

Looking at the magnificent building in front of her, Talia couldn't help but exclaim.

She thought Tallulah would take her to the sewers or explore the dark places of the city. After all, in her impression, the infected usually live in these places.

But she never imagined that Taluqila would take her to the library in Dundelburgh!

Are there really infected people here?

"Originium will never choose to infect you based on your noble or humble origins. This can be considered another form of mercy."

After answering Talia's doubts, Tallulah smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Under Ursus's high-pressure policy, the situation of the infected is becoming increasingly severe, but the power brought by the Originium makes Ursus covet it."

"In Ursus, it's always the infected that are restricted, not Originium! In war, Ursus will not hesitate to use Originium weapons."

"They have never stopped their research on Originium. In Dundelk alone, there are no fewer than a hundred scientific research institutions related to Originium!"

"Under such circumstances, it's inevitable that someone will unfortunately be infected with oripathy."

In front of the deserted library, Tallulah and Talia discussed the basic situation of Ursus.

These were things Talia had never understood.

The Ursus authorities won't write these things down in books; only the infected know about them...

Only those infected can know this!

Because their personal experience is better than any false and unreasonable opinions!

"Those who were unfortunately infected, in order to avoid being persecuted by Ursus, had no choice but to quietly withdraw, pretending nothing had happened and living their lives as if nothing had happened."

"Even those in high positions of power... can't avoid this?"

If I have made a contribution...will I also be liquidated?

At this point, Talia's three views were refreshed again.

Ursus's harshness towards the infected had exceeded her expectations.

In Casimir, if a soldier is infected with oripathy on the battlefield, they will receive a considerable sum of money and then live in a special zone designated for them, with all their expenses paid for by the Chamber of Commerce.

This is the approach Casimir takes when dealing with people who get sick while on duty.

"A high position of power?"

Tallulah patted Talia's head as if she had heard a joke.

"Mr. Patriot, Froststar's father, was once the strongest shield and sharpest spear in the Ursus Empire!"

"Although his official rank is only that of captain, his actual status is already no different from that of a general. Having fought for the late Emperor Ursus for hundreds of years, he must be highly respected, right?"

"But so what? His son died in the streets protesting the Infected Management Act, and he himself contracted oripathy while suppressing the Infected and left Ursus."

"Of course his political enemies are at work here, but if the late emperor is willing to give him protection, who can touch him?"

Sighing, Tallulah took Talia to the library door and waited quietly for the opening time.

Talulah felt more regretful about Bodracasti's ending. Although she had no sense of belonging to Ursus, she still admired soldiers like Bodracasti.

On the frozen land, Bozhukasti is the symbol of hope. As long as he is there, the team will have unlimited vitality!

Tallulah wanted to lead the infected people on the snowfield out of that impoverished land, but she couldn't do it alone.

The help of the guerrillas is necessary, which is why she is determined to join forces with Froststar and Bozhukasti. She needs to rely on their strength.

Even though she never convinced Bodracasti.

Every time she tried to discuss her plans with Bodracasti, he refused.

Tallulah understood that empty talk without actual success would not convince the Wendigo.

"Is that so?"

After listening to Tallulah's words, Talia finally understood the situation between Froststar and his daughter.

It is true that she is familiar with Shuangxing, but she is not to the extent that she would casually ask about other people's family affairs. It was not until now that she knew that my tall figure had such a past.

"Hmm! Let's stop talking here for today. Someone's here!"

The figure approaching from a distance stopped Tallulah from continuing.

This is a city, different from the countryside. "Misfortune comes from the mouth" is not an idiom here!

"Ah~ Good morning, both of you!"

The gorgeously dressed Rupert girl in a pink dress enthusiastically greeted the two people standing at the library entrance.

She held a thick notebook in her hand, and an exquisite pen was hanging outside her bag. Next to the pen was an exquisitely shaped badge.

noble?

Tallulah glanced at the badge and immediately recognized the identity of the girl in front of her.

"Good morning, pretty lady!"

Performing a noble etiquette, Tallulah gracefully saluted the Lupert girl.

In order to make it easier for them to go out, they are now also nobles.

Smiling and nodding, the Lupo girl stood beside a stone pillar, waiting for the library to open with Talia.

The chill of the early morning gradually dissipated, and the rising warm sun hung in the sky. With a light click, the tightly closed door of the library in front of me opened.

Volume 3: Chapter 45: Eye to Eye

The interior of the library is very simple, without any unnecessary decorations. There are only electric lights, bookshelves, and several areas for readers to rest. This is the overall appearance of the library.

After bidding farewell to the noble girl who was waiting with them, Tallulah led Talia into the depths.

As she walked, Talia glanced back at the pink Lupert girl.

Perhaps her gaze was too naked, attracting the attention of the Rupert girl.

After seeing that it was the lovely Liberi, Miss Rupert smiled and waved goodbye to Talia. She planned to spend a good day here today. If there was a chance, maybe they would see each other again.

It’s not too late to chat then.

After wandering around the library, Tallulah took Talia to find a middle-aged film woman who was sorting books. With her back to Tallulah, the plainly dressed film woman was methodically putting the books in their original places.

"Ms. Veronica, long time no see!"

After a familiar greeting, Tallulah walked up to help the woman named Veronica organize books.

With the help of others, the books in Veronica's hands disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon all returned to where they should be.

"Still punctual as always, Tallulah!"

Turning around, Veronica brushed off the dust on her body, and Talia, who was carrying a small schoolbag, was also exposed in her sight.

"Who is this..."

Pointing at Talia, Veronica asked Tallulah.

Talia looks like a little child, and with a small schoolbag on her back, she looks just like those junior high school students going home from school.

She had known Tallulah for two years, but had never heard her mention him.

"This is the doctor in our team! Talia!"

Pulling Talia in front of her, Tallulah introduced Talia's identity.

Although Tallulah repeatedly assured her that Talia was fine, Veronica still felt a little uneasy when she heard that Talia was not infected.

She and Talulah are both leaders of the infected, so naturally they are talking about the infected. Why are you dragging an ordinary person into this?

Naturally, Talia was sent away by Veronica with an excuse.

Anyway, this is the city center of Dundelk and also the library. Even the soldiers patrolling the streets can't just come in casually.

There was no way Talia would encounter any danger here, so Tallulah simply agreed to Veronica's request.

This time she had indeed miscalculated. Just because they could accept Talia, who was not infected, joining their team, didn't mean others would accept it.

There is a thick barrier between the infected and ordinary people, which is inevitable.

Veronica took Tallulah to a quiet room and poured her a glass of water. Tallulah took a sip and put it down.

"Has Ursus been doing anything lately? I saw yesterday afternoon that there were almost twice as many patrols on the streets as usual."

After telling Veronica what she had seen and heard yesterday, Tallulah waited for the leader to give her an answer.

Dundelk's behavior was a little abnormal. She had investigated before coming here and found that there had been no natural disasters in the vicinity recently. Logically, Dundelk should not have moved.

Not only did Ketundelk take action, he also sent a large number of troops out to patrol the streets.

All this suggests that something is unusual in Dundelke lately.

"A count has come to discuss business with the Duke of Neva. You know, these nobles always have some business to do privately."

"count..."

Hearing this word, Tallulah thought of Rupert whom she had just met, who was wearing a noble badge.

She had a good memory and wrote down the girl's emblem.

After borrowing a pen and paper from Veronica, Tallulah drew the emblem from memory and handed it to Veronica.

"Yes, that's it. Did you encounter it?"

Tallulah's drawing was a bit sloppy, but if you look closely you can still see that Veronica confirmed that the people Tallulah met were the family of the Marquis.

"That marquis is a newly promoted noble who primarily relies on the grain trade. He came to Dundelk this time probably to reach a cooperation with the Duke of Mount Neva and secure a new grain route."

After telling Tallulah the information she had learned, Veronica sat aside and continued.

"He's just come to power, and since he's not a war noble, he only has a few soldiers guarding the city. Although they're a lot, he's a marquis, so with only these people, it's a bit stretched."

"I suspect that besides trading grain, he might also be interested in trading weapons."
