Chapter 35: Father-in-law

Fortunately, the Traveler's worst fears did not happen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Number 9 is left at Solomon's base.
They had spent more than a day at Solomon's base and were now on their way to the Eastern Star. In other words, the Traveler King has more than five days to live.
The Wood King, Liliana, and the armed bodyguards accompany him.
"You're about to become my exclusive host."
This joke of the Traveler King was exchanged for a gun-wielding bodyguard laughing and not saying a word. It seems that it is really possible that he was instructed by Solomon to receive him.
It's not bad to have someone before and after.
Armed bodyguards with 7 staff members. According to the Nanxing people, 7 is an auspicious number.
The Traveler King brought some money from Solomon this time, 5 jars of Life Essence and a large pile of North Star Coins. The North Star coin has a small denomination, and its circulation in the Eastern Star is also better than that of the Life Essence.
He had a hunch that it would not be so good to return to Nanxing this time. The first time I worked hard for three months, this time it was two months, and maybe it was shorter to go again, but it wasn't a matter of time, but I felt that something would go wrong, and there would be something to spend money on. Years of travel, in exchange for a lot of strange intuition, most of them are quite accurate.
Solomon, who claimed to be his mother's family, also gave some gifts. What was given to the Traveler King was a new set of clothes in the style of the Eastern Star, which looked like a thief's gorgeous costume, and he had no chance to wear it except for the wedding. A large number of ornaments for Liliana, with exquisite workmanship and rare materials. More than pretty, there is more of a feeling - expensive, especially expensive at first glance.
The Traveler King didn't quite understand, but when he saw Liliana's joyful look, he didn't say anything. As long as she's happy.
But will it be a little deeply poisoned by the Southerners?
More than five years is enough to change a person, especially a girl who has lost her memory, and the environment forces her to cater to it. He remembered that the Sand King was furious because of her salute as a Southern Starman, and although he went too far, he actually felt a little awkward. Sensitive to money, skillful in operating spaceships, skilled typing, Nanxing etiquette, drinking coffee, and even having a bit of Nanxing dialect in his accent. This poor Dongxing lady is now more like a Nanxing person.
When did things turn out like this? It turned into a marriage? They didn't even know each other. After two months together, he could only remember every skin on her body. What does she like? What would you be angry about? What are the wishes? I don't know. Not to mention the identities that have disappeared with memory.
He looked down at the ring on his ring finger and said to himself, "Is it predestined?" ”
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, premarital anxiety."
Liliana pursed her lips and smiled.

Traveler King and his entourage are aboard an ultra-luxurious medium-sized spaceship.
In the procession, the King of the Travelers saw Solomon and Number 9 standing together. Number 9 paid little attention to Solomon, but he had nothing to talk to the woman next to him.
The woman was cute.
Dongxing people, who are only seventeen or eighteen years old, look at the rare light blue long hair, which ethnic minority should it be. A short floral dress in light orange and beige, with many small puppet decorations. The eyes are large and the forehead is a little wide. The most striking thing is that there is a pair of white bird wings behind her, quietly gathered together.
I don't know what the 9th said, but she laughed happily.
I really can't imagine that the sand king would say things to make girls happy.
"I say, who is that girl next to the Sand King?"
The armed bodyguard leaned over at the sound.
"The one with wings? The boss's adopted daughter is called Yunxiu. Pretty cute, right? ”
The tone of the gun-wielding bodyguard was as if to show off, full of pride.
"Oh."

The spacecraft flew for more than an hour and arrived at the Stargate, flew for more than an hour after entering the wormhole, and went out of the Stargate, reaching the East Star for a total of more than three hours.
It was a very large planet, much larger than the edge planet where Solomon's base was located, and even bigger than the Southern Star. From the sky, it is colorful and gorgeous. It is known as the treasure of the universe.
This route has long been tired of being run away by armed bodyguards. He landed directly at the port of the Mu Clan's territory.
As soon as she broke through the atmosphere, Liliana could see the greenery as far as the eye could see, lush and even crowded with plants. Towering several large trees, large exaggerated, full of the majesty of life. Messy and thick vines wind above the sea of trees. Colorful and scattered small decorations are as far as the eye can see, and it is impossible to see whether they are flowers or fruits. From time to time, huge birds hovered over the sea of trees, and archers rode on them, like guards of the Wood Clan.
In the midst of this lush sea of trees, there is a huge crater, two kilometers in diameter, which is extremely conspicuous. It's like a square, with neat floors - I don't know whether it's metal or stone, and it doesn't fit in with the surrounding nature.
The square has some very modern small houses, as well as several huge boat harbours, quite in the style of the Southern Star.
"Brother, what's that?"
"Dock the harbor."
"It's weird... When I saw that huge square, I always felt an inexplicable unhappiness. ”
"Huh? What do you remember? ”
"No, there isn't."
Actually, it's impossible to think of anything. Compared with the slow development of cloning technology, brainwashing technology has long been very mature and can be called perfect. Slaves, lost in memory, nothing can be recovered. It's not a fantasy novel, the strange protagonist loses his memory, but slowly recalls it.
No, none of the brainwashed people have been able to regain their memories. Miracles always exist only in stories.
"However, you can be forgiven for being unpleasant when you see this square. This is the scar of the wood clan. ”
"Scars?"
"Thousands of years ago, during the Cosmic War, the Southern Star invaded the Eastern Star and dropped a nuclear bomb here. Thousands of years later, the vegetation has only recovered to its current extent. Iniquity..."
"Nuclear..."
Liliana knew about the nuke.
"How did the southeast reconcile?"
"Reconciliation? It's just a lost treaty. We also dropped three more powerful bombs on their home planet - the Ice King, the Drug King, and the Sand King. The war stopped when the South Star was extinguished. ”
Liliana fell silent.
She looked back at the armed bodyguard.
"Huh?" The gun-wielding bodyguard smiled at her, "It's okay. That's our ancestors' business, and it's none of our business. We Southerners are now just peaceful merchants seeking a way to make money. ”
A clean smile.
"You see, they are all virtuous. Heartless. "The Traveler King spreads his hands," there is neither national integrity nor moral bottom line. ”
"Hey, we're going too far, aren't we?"
"Your moral standards are measured in money."
"Nope." The gun-wielding bodyguard clasped his left hand to his chest, "I swear, money is not my only moral standard. ”
“…”
"And the benefits, the deals, and the fun."
The traveler's king supports his forehead.
Liliana smiled, not knowing what to say. She felt that what the Traveler King said made sense, but there didn't seem to be anything wrong with what the armed bodyguard said.
"It's time to get off the boat, right?"
・
"Look, it's His Majesty the Wood King!"
"Long live His Majesty the Wood King!"
Liliana was completely shocked.
This huge square is bustling with thousands of people, each busy. They stopped the boat almost unnoticed. Until the Wood King disembarks... She's just got one foot in it! There was a huge wave of cheers immediately! Voices!
The Wood King waved his hand very pretty. Then it was like a nest that had exploded below, leading to waves of screams.
Is this a leader's trip or an idol showing his face?
Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around.
Most of them are Dongxing, and they all have all kinds of green hair. There are also many other Southern Stars and Northern Stars, most of whom follow the local customs and wear Wood style clothing - a loose and flowing cloth garment.
Liliana touched her hair, dark green close to black. There was an inexplicable emotion in my heart.
The square is all made of metal floors. It feels out of place with the lush greenery around you. The small houses around are full of various shops.
Soon, a group of Mu people with considerable status came out of the welcoming crowd. They came to the king of wood and saluted.
"Your Majesty, the doppelganger of the Wood King, you have finally returned safely. You've been waiting very hard for your body, and you've lost a lot of weight lately. ”
Forehead? How does this seem like a couple waiting for themselves?
"Quick, take me to the main body, I have a lot of things to let her know."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Who are these behind you...? ”
"These two are VIPs. Let's entertain those Nanxing people as well. ”
"Yes."
The welcoming crowd automatically splits a pathway.
"Master, you have such a high expectation!"
"Silly boy, what are you talking about. Come on. ”
Under the guidance of the Mu people, the group walked forward quickly.

It was more than ten minutes of road, but the scenery was constantly changing, and Liliana was quite stunned.
Originally, it was an international square filled with aliens of all kinds.
After a few steps, the sun was obscured. Although it is still far from the giant tree, the canopy has already stretched out to the outer circle of the square. The light penetrates one by one, like a dream, shuttling through groups of colorful butterflies.
Soon, as the metal road turned, rows and rows of small trees appeared in front of me. Compared to the giant tree next to it, it is still at least seven or eight stories high. The canopy is lined with numerous wooden houses of various shapes, connected to each other by wooden suspension bridges.
From here, the number of guards on horse-like animals gradually increased, and all of them were archers.
Liliana could see that the aliens were here, and she didn't know if she was traveling or doing business, and she looked relaxed and smiled.
Soon, they jumped up a staircase carved into the trunk of a tree, twisting and turning in front of the trunk, the suspension bridge, and the wooden house.
There are some very cute insects and furry critters that jump out and stare at them.
A fallen leaf rested on her nose, soft and rustling.
The symphony of birds is far away, never for the stop.
Liliana has never been so happy! Is this the hometown that doesn't exist in memory? Even if the head does not remember, but her body seems to remember the taste of this hometown.
Walking down the path on the trunk of a tree, there is a scene of shrubs and fields of flowers, and people are working as if they were working in a rice field, bending over to work, half of their bodies buried in the sea of flowers. The sun is shining and butterflies are flying.
“… Is this heaven? ”
This sentence was so low that he could barely hear himself, but when the Traveler King heard it, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
In fact, the Traveler King is a little worried that Liliana will not be able to find her roots.
Well, now it's just a matter of finding her family. But the territory of the Mu tribe is so large, and the Mu people are the most populous ethnic group in the Eastern Star... Finding someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
I can only hope for the wood king.
Just thinking like this, a handsome uncle in his forties and fifties suddenly jumped out in front of the traveler's eyes, and his hair was dark green like Liliana.
"Xiaomei? … It's petal Qing Xiaomei! I'm Daddy! ”
Hey? The needle jumped out of the sea on its own!
