67. Not glamorous
Jian Ling cut off a branch of the orchid tree, put it in the earring space, and returned the same way with Saixi and the others.
Unlike when they came, the mutated creatures that were silent and silent were unrestrained and suddenly became extremely ferocious. The four of them had to use all their strength, deal with it carefully, and finally returned to the cave, each of them with some color on their bodies.
Braun sat down on the ground and panted and scolded, "Are these guys all crazy? I've been here for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen such a ferocious mutated creature, it's like hormones, what a fuck! ”
Saixi, who turned into a beast, lowered his head and licked the wound on his arm, his face was very ugly: "I always feel that there is a problem here, if it continues to develop like this, the entire Maple Leaf Star will be occupied by those monsters, and we can't hide here for a lifetime." ”
Hearing this, Braun looked stunned: "You mean, even after this half a month, those crazy monsters will still not change back to their original form?" ”
"Looking at this posture, it is very possible."
Braun stared blankly at the mutated plants outside the cave that were still growing wildly, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Don't scare me, these monsters are really going to keep growing, and our secret base is afraid that it will also be destroyed, what will our people do when the time comes?" ”
Saixi glanced at Jian Ling, who had been silent: "You just confronted Ley, did you learn any useful information from him?" ”
"He said that he created these mutated creatures in order to force out the Elder Patriarch and the other clansmen."
Hearing this, Braun immediately frowned: "His target is grandpa?" ”
Thinking of what Ley said he knew his grandfather, Braun's face changed and changed. Could it be that what Ley said is true? So what is the past between him and his grandfather, he has to do things to this point!
Jian Ling nodded: "It should be." ”
Saixi sighed slightly: "Since the other party is coming for the patriarch, this matter must be known to the patriarch, he is well-informed." I will definitely be able to get along with the coping method. ”
Jian Ling and Braun did not speak, and they acquiesced in this solution.
After a short rest, they entered the labyrinth passage. After a lot of twists and turns, he finally returned to the secret base safely.
As soon as they returned, they alarmed many beasts, and after making sure that a few of them were safe and sound, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Saisi and Braun hurried to the castle without resting, intending to report the mutant creatures to the Patriarch of Orr.
It is enough to have the two of them explain the situation. Jian Ling didn't go with them to see the Patriarch of Ouer, but returned home with Moore, changed his clothes, and washed off his blood. She was dressed in a loose bathrobe and lay on her back on the bed. Looking at the ceiling overhead, the events of the day come to mind.
The words that Ley had told her had cleared her up some of her doubts, but they had left her with even more doubts.
Leaving Jane's matter aside, Maitch's affair was even more confusing to her.
She connected the information points she knew, and she could vaguely feel the general context of the matter - Meqi was originally the heir of the beastmaster, but for some reason, he gave up the inheritance and took away the biggest secret of the beast clan. Become the target of the orcs. Madch didn't know why, he came to the Welsh Empire, enlisted in the army, quickly climbed to the position of general, and became the most admired hero of the entire empire.
During the battle of the No. 3 Forbidden Zone, Mechi suddenly disappeared from the world. Life and death unknown. However, he left behind a pair of children, that is, her and Jane Sin...... Wait, since she inherited Maitch's orc blood, is it the same with Jane Sin, who is her mother's sibling?
After thinking about it for a while, she felt that this was unlikely.
Since Jian Xin is an orc, why can't he even deal with Feng Han, an ordinary human, and was easily caught and turned into an experiment? Of course, it is also possible that the beast bloodline in his body has not yet awakened, if this is the case, then it is okay, as long as the bloodline does not awaken every day, he will still be a human for a day, and he can continue to be his soldier, without having to be killed by revealing his identity.
Now she can only secretly pray that Jian Xin's beast blood will not suddenly awaken......
Fell asleep unconsciously.
didn't wait long, and the door of Jian Ling's house was knocked on.
Jian Ling impatiently climbed out of bed, opened the door, and looked at Gleason who was in a hurry outside the door, with an expressionless face: "You'd better give me a good enough reason, otherwise I'll pour all my wake-up anger on your head." ”
Don't blame her for her bad temper, she finally escaped death yesterday, she was so tired that her bones were trembling, and she finally returned home to sleep peacefully, but she was woken up after not sleeping for two hours, and she now has the urge to shoot and kill.
Gleason also knew that he was rude, but he was so anxious that he didn't bother to apologize, so he hurriedly said, "I want to ask you for a favor." ”
"Say."
"The patriarch suddenly fell ill and continued to be treated."
Jian Ling frowned slightly: "The patriarch's body has always been in charge of your recuperation, and now you are also responsible for the illness, why did it suddenly come to me?" ”
It's not that she can't save her when she sees death, it's that this thing is so strange that she has to ask about the situation before she can make a decision.
"I don't have time to tell you now, let's talk about the specific things on the road."
Jian Ling thought for a moment: "Okay, you wait for me to put on a dress." ”
She quickly put on a coat, and before she had time to comb her hair, she followed Gleason out the door.
On the way to the ancient castle, Jian Ling walked briskly and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Yesterday you came back from outside, Saisi and Braun went to see the patriarch, the three of them closed the door and talked secretly in the study for a long time, when Saisi and Braun left, their faces were very solemn, as if something big had happened, I asked them what was wrong, and they didn't say anything. Not long after that, Serin, who was next to the patriarch, came to me, saying that the patriarch had suddenly fallen ill and asked me to come to you to see the patriarch. ”
Jian Ling was even more curious: "Why did Selin ask you to come to me?" Why didn't he come to me directly? Moreover, isn't it always up to you to take care of the patriarch's illness? ”
"I don't know about this, but my guess is that this is probably related to Saisi and Braun," he paused, glanced at Jian Ling, and made sure she didn't show any unusual expressions, before then asked, "You guys were outside yesterday, did you have any trouble?" ”
"It's a bit of a problem, but it's all been resolved. The rest of the things that can't be solved are probably all unwilling to be said by the patriarch, so I can't speculate. ”
Hearing her say this, Gleason didn't want to dig deeper, but the worry in his heart became even stronger: "It seems that this time the trouble is not small." ”
When he came to the castle, Selin, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, brought Jian Ling in, but Gleason was stopped, saying that the Elder patriarch just wanted Jian Ling to enter alone.
Selin sent Jian Ling to the door of the bedroom, he helped push the door open, and stood at the door and bowed to him slightly: "Please go in, the patriarch has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Seeing his posture, Jian Ling was not in a hurry, and asked casually, "The patriarch is actually not sick, is he?" ”
Selin smiled silently, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Jian Ling pursed his lips: "The master and servant are working together to deceive people, no wonder Gleason doesn't even suspect it." ”
After saying that, she walked into the bedroom, and the room was filled with a faint smell of medicinal fragrance.
The Patriarch of Orr sat on the rocking chair next to the bed, he lay on his back, and the rocking chair slowly rocked. His gaze looked through the skylight on the roof, looking at the bright starry sky outside, and his face was unusually kind and peaceful.
Hearing Jian Ling's footsteps, he withdrew his gaze slightly and motioned for her to sit.
Looking at his appearance, he was indeed not sick, although this was already expected by Jian Ling, but after confirming it with his own eyes, it was inevitable that he would have some doubts. She sat down, a cup of freshly brewed hot tea on the small table next to her, and it was clear that he had premeditated.
Jian Ling asked bluntly, "Why do you want to deceive people?" ”
The patriarch sat up slightly straight, his cloudy gaze flickering in the candlelight: "I have some private matters that I don't want people to know, and I want to ask you for help, so I took the liberty of telling some lies." If you are unhappy because of this, Selin and I apologize to you, we have no ill intentions, and I hope you don't mind. ”
He said it very politely, so that Jian Ling couldn't pursue it, but her face was not very good: "Since it's your private matter, wouldn't it be better to ask Gleason for help?" I'm just an outsider who has just been here, and I'm not as trustworthy as Gleason as a High Priest. ”
"These are things that only you can do, not Gleason, not anyone else."
Hearing him say this, Jian Ling narrowed his eyes slightly: "How can I have a hunch that these things won't be too glorious?" ”
He smiled lightly, revealing a bit of cunning: "Indeed, it's not very glorious. ”
Jian Ling raised her eyebrows: "Oh? ”
"I'd like to ask you to help you make some medicine, the kind of medicine that can strengthen people's bodies in a short period of time, and I need it urgently now."
"What are you going to do with this medicine?"
Since he wanted to ask her for help, there were definitely some things that he couldn't hide, and he didn't intend to hide them, so he simply spread it out and said: "Now the situation outside, you have also seen it, if you don't find a way to stop the crazy growth of those mutant plants, the Maple Leaf Star will soon be completely occupied by them." At that time, even our secret base will not be spared, and I must stand up and use my body to shield them from the disaster. ”
Jian Ling frowned slightly: "You plan to die with them?" ”
"Heh, if I try my best, I may not lose to that group of mutant creatures, but, the matter will not end here," he looked at Jian Ling with a solemn gaze, "Although Ley is dead, the guys behind him who want to restore the glory of the orcs will not give up, their purpose is me, and that group of innocent children." If I want to keep my clansmen in peace for the last time, I must send all my clansmen away from Maple Leaf. ”
"What about you?"
He gently rubbed the black gem ring on his thumb, and his tone was firm: "Stay, and fight them to the end." ”
