Ark Simulator, don't I have no physical form?

Now that the proof is over, Talulah raised her sparkling wine and smiled, saying, "Have fun, everyone."

Then, amidst the applause of the nobles, he turned and walked out of their sight, sitting down in front of Witte.

"You have very high standards for yourself."

Witt watched as Talulah put down the sparkling wine in her hand and picked up a glass of juice, and praised her with some surprise.

"After all, I still need to grow, and there are constraints I need to follow, aren't there?"

Talulah was referring to Suri, but Vittor, standing before her, naturally interpreted it as the Black Serpent's control over him.

A knowing glint flashed in Witt's eyes, and he nodded: "So, Duke Talulah, is there anything you wish to say to me?"

“I will enact some laws that benefit the infected within my duchy.”

Talulah revealed an arrogant expression, raising her chin as she looked at the surprised Victor: "I suppose His Majesty the Emperor is also interested in these policies?"

But Witt wasn't so easily convinced by the "immortal black serpent," and instead cautiously observed Talulah:

"Duke Talulah, what do you want to do?"

"I just thought that His Majesty would definitely be willing to push through these bills."

Talulah didn't say it directly, but she decided to let the suspicious guys figure it out themselves.

Then, he took out the document that Suri had already drafted and printed, and pushed it in front of Witt.

'I never knew you had such abilities.'

Talulah couldn't help but marvel at how Suri seemed to be omnipotent, with all her important abilities proving quite useful.

"Of course, I'm very capable."

Suri was somewhat pleased with Talulah's praise, while Victor, after reading the bills, looked at Talulah with a subtle expression.

"These bills are truly generous, Duke Talulah. Your favors to the infected are as generous as if you were domesticating livestock. Oh, sorry, livestock domesticated in this way probably won't grow up, will they?"

Talulah inwardly agreed with Witte's assessment, but outwardly she had to feign disdain:

"So what? Lord Witt, the infected have nothing right now, and I can use a little favor to make them gratefully work hard until they die. Isn't that good? This is a good thing for Ursus."

Witt's expression changed several times before he carefully put away the bill that Talulah had taken out and tucked it into his pocket.

“I will inform His Majesty the Emperor of this matter. I believe His Majesty will carefully consider this bill and praise your generosity.” Witt said the last words through gritted teeth.

"Walk slowly without sending."

Talulah sat in her seat, swirling the juice in her hand, and watched with a smile as Victor walked away.

In truth, Talulah was still somewhat uneasy because of Witt's condemnation; after all, she also felt that the conditions were really terrible.

Then, she heard Suri's voice, and for some reason, Talulah felt a great sense of relief.

"I saw it with my scanning vision; he was secretly calling you a greedy and disgusting vampire~"

Suri's tone was gloating, as if she wanted to anger Talulah, but upon hearing Suri's voice, Talulah relaxed instead and smiled as she retorted:

"This was your plan, so you should be the one getting insulted."

Suri didn't care about Talulah's comments: "This is just part of the plan. For a better future for the infected, the current harshness and bloodshed are unavoidable. After all, no great cause can be achieved without bloodshed and sacrifice."

In short, I'm a good person.

"Yes, you're a good person."

Talulah couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at!"

Volume 2, Chapter 77: Stepping onto the Snowfield

For Talulah, with Suri's assistance, securing the duke's title and the identity of the immortal black serpent were no problem at all.

After arranging the internal affairs of the manor and duchy, and issuing the decrees, while waiting for the nobles to start making their moves, Suri gave Talulah some new suggestions.

At this moment, having left her ducal territory undetected using high-speed holographic camouflage, Talulah was walking through the cold snowfields of Ursus, dressed in warm clothes and a trench coat.

"While I don't mind coming out here on my own to find the snowfield guerrillas you mentioned, was it really necessary for me to come all this way?"

Talulah had questions about Suri's arrangements. Her biggest question was why she didn't need to come out in person. Wouldn't it have been better to leave this to the Serpent Scales or the Inner Guards?

After becoming the immortal black serpent, Talulah made contact with some of the inner guards, and it was no problem for her to ask them for help.

"These are two different things. Anyway, with my help bringing a lot of supplies, you won't starve. You can also remotely control those snake scales and inner guards through the internet. Which noble would dare to disobey your wishes?"

In a sense, with the Ursus Emperor's orders preventing her from even leaving the palace, Talulah was the uncrowned queen of this country.

"Of course I believe in your abilities."

Talulah stopped in the snowfield, exhaling thick white mist:

"What I mean is, you're making me come out on my own, as if it's for your own amusement?"

Talulah certainly didn't mind staying with Suri, because she had already discovered some signs that the so-called system materialization progress was advancing according to Suri's mood.

The happier Suri was, the faster the progress bar rose... In fact, Talulah had another theory, but she couldn't be sure about it yet.

If it really is a matter of favorability, it can't be that she started with a negative 60% without doing anything, right?

Therefore, it is also very important to find out Su Rui's thoughts.

Suri didn't shy away from Talulah's question: "Of course it's because of my own interests. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to have someone else run the errands? But you are someone who works with them, so it's not a problem for you to go and see for yourself."

Suri casually showed Talulah the information he had found using his scanning function:

"Bozokasti, Wendigo, a three-meter-tall Sarkaz, whose race has a tradition of cannibalism, but he himself is very restrained. Fairy is leading a group of people of similar size who follow him, forming a guerrilla force in the snowfield. To be honest, Oripathy has left him with very little life left."

"Is he the leader of the guerrillas?" Talulah nodded. He did seem to be a very capable person.

"Not only these, but also this one, Frostnova, whose real name is Yelena, is the adopted daughter of Bozokasti. She also has a Yeti squad under her command. Her Originium Arts are related to ice and snow, and due to complications from Originium disease, her body temperature is very low. Essentially, she herself is an altar of low-temperature Originium magic, constantly running and consuming herself."

Suri paused for a moment, then said in a strange tone, "Although I know it's not good to say this, Froststar may die even before her adoptive father."

"Life expectancy varies between different races."

Talulah didn't find anything strange about it, and simply nodded: "Is Frostnova's Oripathy very serious?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I specifically brought you along to obtain some Oripathy inhibitors before we set off?"

As Suri casually mentioned it, she showed Talulah the formula and composition of the Oripathy inhibitor:

"Actually, I've already mastered the current formula, and I can even set up a low-cost and efficient production line. However, I suggest contacting Rhodes Island, at least to let them know that I'd like to pay them some royalties or something."

"You actually care about intellectual property rights?"

Talulah couldn't help but laugh at Suri's words. From her previous interactions with Suri, she knew that Suri was a bit uninhibited, as if she were looking at everything through a screen.

"These are two different things."

Suri interrupted Talulah’s laughter with some displeasure: “The point is not Rhodes Island, but one or two... maybe half a person, well, anyway, a special individual on Rhodes Island who can attract attention. That’s all, so I don’t really want them to be hostile towards you.”

Suri himself wasn't quite sure what this premonition was, but that didn't stop him from acting on it.

"Anyway, Rhodes Island definitely won't charge you too much for intellectual property rights. You can cooperate with them and make money together."

"Yes, I see a village ahead."

Talulah nodded. A village had come into view ahead. Although it was somewhat hazy due to the snow and wind of the snowfield, it was still quite clear to Talulah and with the scanning field of vision shown by Suri.

"Hmm, let's go inside and rest for a bit. Setting up a tent is such a hassle. It would be great if there was a place to rest."

As Suri spoke, she urged Talulah to get moving quickly.

"Won't this scare the residents inside?"

"No, because you'll be able to play the hero and save the damsel in distress soon. Let me see your phone. Oh, it still has battery. I'll use this to talk later."

Talulah didn't understand what Suri was planning, but as soon as she heard there was a battle, she immediately drew her longsword and moved even faster toward the village.

When they were still some distance from the village, Talulah spotted the Ursus pickets dressed in black.

"The villagers here call them black bugs because these guys don't actually carry out their duties properly. Instead, they take the opportunity to plunder and extort money, and the villagers have no power to resist or appeal."

As Su Rui spoke, she highlighted the figures of the disciplinary team in red: "There's nothing to say, just take them down."

"Would killing them cause trouble for the village?"

"Guess what your snake scales and those guards are for?"

Suri's words immediately made Talulah put aside all her concerns, but she still had one question: "Won't it be enough to just rely on the few I killed? Besides, not all of them are necessarily..."

“First of all, I will certainly deal with this matter, in the name of Duke Talulah.”

"Secondly, let's kill these people in front of us first, and then I'll explain to you slowly. If we don't go over there soon, that old man will be beaten to death. Aren't you worried?"

Anyway, Suri wasn't worried; he had no conscience. But he knew Talulah was worried.

Volume 2, Chapter 78: Alina

Upon hearing Su Rui's words, Talulah noticed the old man who was being beaten by a group of people, whom Su Rui had marked, and immediately quickened her pace.

At this moment, Suri's voice also rang out through the disciplinary team's walkie-talkies and Talulah's cell phone:

"Take a deep breath; dizziness is normal."

"Who goes there?!"

Before the disciplinary squad members could even figure out what was going on, Talulah had already charged forward, brandishing her longsword and slashing horizontally, the intense heat of the flames severing all the standing disciplinary squad members from the chest.

The old man was not injured because he was lying on the ground.

"It's an enemy attack! Could it be a snowfield guerrilla force?!"

The scouts were both surprised and frightened, but they soon noticed that Talulah was alone.

Suri's voice rang in Talulah's mind again:

"Alright, don't think too much about it. I've already sent Snake Scales to deal with these patrol teams. The village won't be searched, and you can proceed with your actions without worry. No one is innocent."

"Ah."

Talulah nodded. Although she had suspected something from the beginning, now that she had the answer, she could naturally act freely.

With the help of Suri's scanning vision, the scouts' sabers and crossbow bolts couldn't even touch the hem of Talulah's trench coat. Almost the instant Talulah approached, they were cleaved in two by the scorching blade and turned into charred parts on the snow.

Finally, several members of the riot squad who tried to escape were blocked by Talulah, forcing them to lay down their weapons and surrender.

"We surrender! We surrender! Please spare us! We will turn over a new leaf!"

Talulah's gaze did not waver. She had seen too many similar things in the Black Serpent's memories, but she was waiting, waiting for Suri to urge her.

"Alright, don't be soft-hearted. Regardless of whether they were coerced or not, their actions have caused the deaths of many innocent people. Even if they had no choice, their hands are stained with the blood of innocent people. Such crimes deserve to die."

As soon as Suri finished speaking, Talulah swung her sword, taking out the last few members of the disciplinary squad.

She was just waiting for Suri to speak, not actually thinking about letting these people go.

Then, the explanation that Suri had given earlier came:

“I investigated these patrol teams, and they all operate in this way. After all, there is no organization in the snowfield that can supervise them. Even if there are a few with a conscience, they have already committed heinous acts due to the influence of others.”

As she spoke, Suri posted some investigation data into Talulah's field of vision and drew her conclusion:

"In short, killing them all might indeed leave one or two kind-hearted people who stick to their principles and don't participate, but killing every other one will definitely leave some who slip through the net."

"Your analogy is truly wonderful."

Talulah's expression was a little strange, but some villagers had already come up to her to express their gratitude.

However, the newcomers were naturally afraid of Talulah, who had started a massacre without saying a word.

"Oh, she's quite pretty."

Suri looked at the gray-haired Elafia (deer) girl in front of her with some curiosity.

Upon hearing Suri's assessment, Talulah couldn't help but glance at the girl in front of her, then subconsciously frowned, wanting to leave immediately.

The girl's eyes were gentle, and her gaze towards Talulah held a hint of reverence. However, despite some fear, she still smiled and expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you for your help. My name is Alina. May I ask who you are...?"

"Just call me Talulah. I'll leave immediately, and you don't need to worry about the disciplinary team's investigation. I've already taken care of it."

Talulah kept a cold face, not intending to talk to the girl in front of her any longer. Instead, she planned to leave with Su Rui as soon as possible. Setting up a tent outside was not a big problem for her, and with Su Rui's system warehouse, she was not worried about not having enough supplies.
