Oracle of Terra

"That...."

Tallulah glanced at Telles, then shook her head. Although this guy couldn't do anything outrageous, he probably still had to talk a lot of trash, and then she remembered.

"What about the old house?"

"I'm left empty..."

Chen's expression looked a little embarrassed, and seeing Tallulah like her, she could probably understand that Chen didn't get along well with her father, and lived with Tallulah most of the time, and her house , Tallulah has only been there once or twice.

"Then live... Beatrix is ​​still at the Dragon Gate?"

"You said Char Siu Cat, she is indeed still in Longmen."

"Pfft, Char Siew Cat, why did you give her such a nickname?"

"Tch, she's only causing me trouble, and it's not easy to say a few words about her."

Looking at her sister's disgusted look, Talula really couldn't imagine how Hui Jie, who was trembling when she was a child, and Beatrix, who was a little arrogant, became what they are now.

The changes brought about by time made her feel left behind, but she was curious about the changes.

"What about Yuxia? She should be in Longmen with Uncle Lin, right?"

"Lin Yuxia? You can indeed live with her, but Uncle Lin's courtyard is quite empty."

"I remember we used to play there a lot when I was a kid."

"Yeah, it's you playing the hero, Yuxia the villain, and I the troubled lady."

"But now it seems that you are a hero, Hui Jie, and I am a troubled lady."

"Are you also considered a young lady?"

Chen recalled his experience in Xueyuan, and Tallulah's position as the leader was more like a queen than a young lady.

"It doesn't sound like what you said. Anyway, I'll go to Uncle Lin's house tonight. Let me see if I still remember the way."

"Let Telles send you off."

"Ok?"

"Before he left, he stayed at Uncle Lin's house temporarily, and he still has a reputation in East Street, so he can be said to be Uncle Lin's right-hand man."

"A capable general..."

Listening to Chen's description, recalling the special features of this guy not long ago, and the real identity revealed by Lei Wen, and hearing about Chen's capable general, the gap between them made her feel a little subtle.

- half an hour later

"Excellent!"

Blushing and looking completely drunk, Tallulah helplessly helped the guy who smelled of alcohol.

"How about I take you there?"

Chen looked worriedly at Tallulah supporting Telles by herself.

"It's okay, it's just a drinking binge, I can handle it, I just hope he can still know the way."

"Okay...then I'll be back on duty, so be careful when you walk at night."

"It's a big deal, I'll light a fire myself, don't worry about mother-in-law, see Huijie tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Chen turned his head for one last look, got on his motorcycle, and drove towards the night patrol route.

As for Hoshiguma, she is still drinking, she is not on duty today.

"I'm so drunk and smell like wine, there's really nothing I can do about you."

Tallulah shook her head helplessly, and helped her, who smelled of alcohol, walk towards the slums in her memory.

Dim lights, stretching and tortuous sales channels, dilapidated buildings and occasional children with flickering eyes.

It's really nostalgic, but when she came here before, she would always be accompanied by the guards arranged by her uncle, and she would go directly to Uncle Lin's yard in Beatrix's car, and she had never walked here in person.

"Do you still know the way, Telles?"

"Recognize the way? Naturally...recognize it!"

"It looks hopeless."

Too hot Shi Shi shook his head again and again, looking at this nonsense alcoholic, he felt a little disgusted.

"So, can I trouble you to lead the way? As you can see, this man is useless."

"......................"

"Don't pretend I can't see you, the heat is obvious, Mr. Shadow Guard."

Tallulah was smiling, the flame in her hand was slightly lit, and then the air fluctuated, and the figure in the black hat stayed there. She remembered these people. On the day she was taken away, there were many such people standing beside her uncle. people.

"Miss Tallulah."

"alright."

Originally wanted to refute that title, but in the end she sighed and accepted the title of Shadow Guard.

"Can you help me lead the way to Uncle Lin's courtyard?"

"Not a problem."

The shadow guard disappeared again, but this time he had a clear outline, presumably because he didn't want people from the slums to bump into him.

Following the outline, Talula brought the drunkard to a familiar courtyard. The ivy by the wall and the vines in the corner were still the same as before. She remembered that Uncle Lin would trim it himself, and it was exactly the same every year. She didn't know is why.

"Go and tell my uncle, I will call on him tomorrow."

"no problem."

After the shadow guard nodded slightly, he disappeared into the shadows, while Tallulah pulled Latteres' collapsed body, and then knocked on the gate of the courtyard.

After a while, old Zalak, who was arched and wearing a purple coat, appeared there. Looking at Tallulah, who was wearing a black dress and carrying a white-haired Sarkaz, he was slightly taken aback.

"I thought someone was going to deliver a letter to me, but I didn't expect it to be you visiting the old man's residence..."

Mr. Lin looked at Talula in front of him with emotion on his face. Compared with the little girl in his memory, he was much more generous, but the alcoholic she was carrying was an eyesore.

"Long time no see, Uncle Lin."

"It's true that I haven't seen you for a long time, Tallulah, come in, it doesn't matter if you leave that thing in the yard."

"I heard Hui Jie said that he is your right-hand man?"

"Hmph, capable man, recently my Yuxia has been talking about him all the time, saying when he brought you back, it made my ears callous."

Old Zarak looked at the drowsy Telles angrily.

"The result is good. You brought him back drunk. I originally said to praise him when I brought people to the door, but that's the end?"

"Haha, you can think of him as drinking. When he was in the snowy field of Ursus and advancing, he often complained that there was no wine to drink."

"Throw it in the room over there. I think you are coming to my place tonight, so I won't bother you much. The room on the east side that you used to like to live in has always been vacant, so you can sleep there."

"Okay, isn't Yuxia here?"

"She? Going out with that girl Beatrix is ​​crazy, don't care about me, a widowed old man, alas..."

"How about I chat with you?"

Listening to Tallulah's words, old Zarak thought about it, and finally shook his head.

"I'm old and sleepy. If you want to chat, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll go there with you."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin."

"Hehe, it's not in vain that I've waited so long to hear this sentence. This brat has done a good deed. See you tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

After throwing Telles to the room Uncle Lin said, Tallulah felt a little helpless as she smelled of alcohol all over her body.

Back in the east wing, she also found that the decoration here has not changed much compared to before, she went straight into the bathroom in the room, took off her clothes, and washed her body.

Uncle Lin's attitude when he saw her didn't surprise her. The old man loves his house and loves Wu. He loved his only daughter when he was a child, and he also loved the children of his old friends. Seeing you now is also showing support for his confrontation with Wei Yanwu.

Lying in the bathtub, Tallulah sighed.

Tomorrow, what should I say?

Do you want his assistance, or do you want to tell the whole story about what you and Telles planned?

Now that Kosiche has left him, it seems that their plans have all been revealed, but Telles said that this is an upright conspiracy, and the confrontation with Kosiche is just a necessary way to annihilate the wizard of Letania .

She is neither afraid nor hesitant. Kosich's influence and brainwashing on her in the past is vivid in her mind. After a while, some of her privacy could be said to be completely exposed in front of him, and she was a little upset.

"what..."

Feeling the sudden increase in water temperature, Tallulah realized that she seemed a little over-excited and had to deal with her uncle tomorrow, so she really didn't know what the situation would be.

In addition to Uncle Lin and Telles, Hui Jie should also be there, and Aunt Wen Yue, huh... also long time no see.

The mood of returning to her hometown is full of joy, but there are still some clouds. I don't know if she can bear the truth.

Even though she understood that that was not what her uncle wanted, she still couldn't help but wonder if he would have a better solution?

If possible, she didn't want to leave some vague impressions of her father, hazy, like a welcome in the wind, and she could only engrave what he said in her memory in her dreams.

Everything is up to tomorrow, she needs to take it seriously.

65. The tide of history

——It’s the next day again

"Ah, this familiar feeling."

Dizzy, I don't know why Telles is a little happy, looking at the surrounding layout and decoration, a little familiar?

"Oh, Mr. Lin's house."

Smelling the smell on his body, reeking of alcohol, Telles recalled, it seemed that Tallulah had helped him all the way, and she had worked hard for her.

After getting up, Telles licked his lips, poured some water from the kettle in the room and rinsed his mouth.

The headache relieved fairly quickly, probably because my ability has improved a little. Thinking about it this way, it seems impossible to get drunk after drinking?

After such thoughts flashed through Telles' mind, he shook his head in disgust.

That was too uncomfortable.

While thinking this way, Telles pushed open the door, and Telles saw old Zarak sitting on a rocking chair in the yard.

"Good morning, Mr. Lin."

"Hmph, drink as soon as you come back, you kid is not afraid of making mistakes."

"Mistakes are minor, not drinking is major."

"................"

Old Zarak shook his head helplessly, this kid seemed stupid for not drinking.

"Where's Tallulah?"

"She and Yuxia went out to pick out clothes. The clothes you made smelled of alcohol. I asked her to wear some looser robes and go out."

"Well, I really feel sorry for her."

Telles shook his head helplessly, then sat on another chair in the yard.

"Speaking of the old man, do you think Boss Wei will let her go?"

"Do you think, old man, I will let her go?"

"meeting."

"Hmph, you do understand me."

"Old man, you are so open-minded, you may also understand that it is impossible for Tallulah to stay in Longmen. Besides, in fact, Boss Wei will not succeed in forcing Tallulah to stay."

"Oh? Tell me why. He is the master of the Dragon Sect. No one in the Dragon Sect can compare to him."

"But he's afraid of his wife."
