20 The Man of the Starry Sky
Kara looked at the world and was horrified by the devastation, but she didn't want me to see the clues, so she pretended to be calm. Martin rides a moose, still immersed in his own world, and the ruins and desert ruins outside seem to have nothing to do with him.
These mercenaries were animal trainers who were hired to look after moose. A man named Edelman asked, "Sir, is it okay to cry there?" β
I said, "It's good now, it's going to be better in the future." Do you want to settle there? "Despite the shortage of food, I still want to expand the population and recruit mercenaries.
Edelman laughed, "If I think so, my wife will kill me, I don't mean to be disrespectful." β
When I asked Carla about her father's disappearance, she said, "My father was a ranger, and he went to pioneer and never came home. Mom soon fell ill and died. Me and Martin.... Unable to pay the rent, we would have been kicked out of the black coffin, but Lady Anne found out that we were Nefarem and took us into an orphanage. β
I sighed, "Rangers are a chore, and a lot of people go missing every year. β
Kara said hurriedly: "But you promised to help me find it." β
"Don't worry, when I'm done with this, I'll find time to find him for you."
Carla regained her composure and said, "I'm sorry, father, I shouldn't have rushed you, please scold me." β
I laughed and said, "Why would I scold you for such a trivial matter?" β
Carla said, "I can't afford to lose your favor and trust. β
I laughed a few times, and I couldn't help but be secretly alarmedβwhat had Lady Anne taught her in two years? Gong Dou?
Carla said: "I firmly believe that I am a genius among the human race, and I will do a lot as the elite of the Black Coffin in the future, and in order to become a top person, I must be strict with myself, so I will take the initiative to ask for your adoption." If someone else were fighting against me at that time, I would definitely go out of my way to crush my opponent. β
I asked, "Have you ever read a book called Emotional Intelligence?" β
Carla shook her head and said, "There are not many books in the orphanage, I know every one by heart, but I have never seen this one. β
I said, "In the society of adults, there are some things that can be said, and some things that can be thought in the heart, but not on the lips. β
Kara nodded vigorously, "Yes, father, I will think about the meaning of your words." β
I reached out and touched Martin, who subconsciously dodged and Carla shouted, "Martin! You don't have to be afraid of the father! Then he hurriedly said to me, "Father, please do not dislike Martin for this, for he has a very clever mind." β
I suddenly felt that the reason why Kara was so eager to show her abilities was to protect her brother. The better she looks, the more important she is in the eyes of her adopters, and Martin has a more secure position as her appendage.
I asked, "How could he be like this?" β
"He's been like this since he was a kid, don't worry, father, he's not going to be a liability, I'm sure he'll be back to normal soon," Carla said. β
I said softly, "Guess what? I think Lamia will love you to death. Your experience is very similar to that of her and her brother. β
Kara seemed to have a big stone on her mind, saying, "We'll do our best to make my adoptive mother happy." β
I said, "You don't have to please anyone, as long as you grow up healthy, it's the best gift for me and Lamia." β
A mercenary named Dog said, "It's getting dark, and there are usually demons on the road." β
Edelman said, "You don't realize who's walking with us. β
The four of them all laughed, and the dog said, "Fishbone Longinus, the invincible Black Coffin Sword Master." β
I shouted, "I hate people who talk the most, you guys, the commission will be increased by 10%!" β
They even went out of their way to compliment me, it's really annoying, how can such a noble person as me be impressed by the smugglers? However, I still increased their commission by 100,000 credits as tuition for my child's live demonstration of "emotional intelligence".
When night fell, we came to the Valley of the Sailing Boats. Sailing Valley, which I named, is the only way for the black coffin to cry, it is not a canyon, but a huge office park, four office buildings, each with eight floors, about two hundred meters wide, forming a square, surrounding a vast square, where plants occupy it, wrapping around the walls and columns, and also collapsing most of the office building.
It looks like a monument in the Amazon jungle.
There is a relatively intact office building in the Valley of the Sailing Ships, where people travelled between the two places, and where rangers and caravans who did not follow Yune or Juno took refuge from danger.
The mercenaries took out the blood bags containing the blood of the Ganger blood clan and fed them to the moose, who were as eager as if they were crazy. Subsequently, Edelman and Dog were on duty in the first half of the night, and the other two were on duty in the second half of the night. I took the Eye of Odin and was wary of the wind, for I was accompanied by Kara and Martin, and I could not afford to miss anything.
I racked my brains to tell children stories about the incredible inventions of the last centuryβthe 10,000-ton ships that sailed across the oceans, the spaceships that sailed into space, the nuclear power plants that never ran out, the virtual games that made people addicted.
I showed them the Mind Blade and told them that if they worked hard, they could learn this miracle beyond the limits of the human body.
Martin raised his head and pointed to the sky, where the brilliant Milky Way was clearly displayed in front of us, along with the full moon that had saved the human world.
Martin uttered the first thing he said after meeting me: "Someone is watching us. β
I was overjoyed and asked, "Do you believe in God?" β
Martin shook his head and said, "No, one of the stars is not a star, but a mechanical satellite, and there are humans, humans like us, who are watching us. β
I felt a chill and asked, "How do you know?" β
"Because I've seen him," Martin said. β
I asked, "How do you see that?" β
"In my dream, he contacted me and he told me that he was lonely and had been wandering in the sky for a long, long time. He told me that there were many flesh-and-blood monsters beneath the ground, and he told me that these monsters would one day wake up and continue their fusion. β
Sun King.
Kara hurriedly said, "Stop talking crazy in front of your adoptive father. β
I said, "No, it's not crazy, it's .... This is a warning. β
Martin nodded, his obvious expressions of fear. If he could have heard this warning since he was a child, it would be no wonder that he was so timid and afraid of everything around him.
I asked, "What is the name of the man on the star?" β
Martin: "He never told me his name, but he looked like you, he had a big beard, and sometimes, he would look nervous and shed tears. Seem... He regretted it. β
I wanted to ask, but Martin's mood changed violently, he began to tremble, his nails cut through his white, almost transparent skin, and I hurriedly took his hands.
Martin said in a trembling voice: "The people on the stars say that the fused monsters will have intelligence, will know how to disguise, will blend into human society, and replace everyone little by little. They are the ultimate form of Bloodline and Humanity, and they will make up for the last stab in this struggling world. β
This is what Mai Zong once warned! Fuck, what a desperate prophecy.
I hugged Martin and said, "No, no, we'll figure it out, we'll figure it out." Remember, the indomitable soul of mankind allows us to fight against fate forever and compose an incomparable heroic song, even if the earth is destroyed, even if the sun is destroyed, we will have a way out. β
Martin stopped trembling, his eyes did not blink, and I wiped away his tears, and then I felt the enemy approaching, and I felt the ill-intentioned watchers watching us from afar.
Edelman pulled out his rifle and hid behind cover, aiming at those who approached, a group of red and white demons who knew we were here.
I said, "Don't waste any more bullets, stay here and protect my kids." β
Carla said, "Father, don't take any chances. β
Edelman smiled, "Relax, Kara, you just have to wait and see what the chief has to say, this is what everyone in the Black Coffin wants to see for themselves." β
The danger is not these demons, but the one who manipulates them, the one who stares at us.
The demons rushed towards the office building, and I used the torrent to gain divine speed, and the thunder sword in my hand took shape, and in a flash, I killed the two white demons. Then, with a swipe upward, lightning burst and sparks flickered, slashing half of a red demon's body off.
I stepped back, turned, pierced through the demons with speed they couldn't see, and as I was in mid-air, several demons leapt up at me, and I stabbed Mjonir forward, the godslayer slicing their bodies apart in the air, their limbs and blood falling to the ground in the moonlight.
The moment I landed, I spun Mjonir around, the electricity spread, the demons were paralyzed by electricity, and they fell stiffly, and I cast extermination, burning them to death.
I looked around the battlefield and the demons had been defeated, but I didn't feel reassured. I looked upstairs, and Kara was looking at me, excited, but trying to pretend nothing was happening.
Suddenly, many pillars of white light shrouded the demon, and all the non-dead demons healed on their own and got back up, and a red demon hit me from behind, and I fell forward and crashed into the pile of rubble.
Kara screamed, and the mercenaries panicked, shooting their guns downwards with Excalibur bullets.
A figure crept through the office and reached for Kara. Kara suddenly noticed, turned around, and saw a bald man with three eyes.
The bald man smiled and said, "Sweetheart, don't be afraid, just take a nap." β
However, my shadow emerged from the ground, and the dagger stabbed at the man, whose face changed color and fell back sharply, his muscles still cut, and he glided in a half circle as if he were floating in the air, and said in a deep voice, "Larsen." β
I also came out of the shadows, faced him, and said, "Salot." β
The bald man said, "I have heard of you, and the blood clan in the black coffin has a high esteem for you, claiming that you have the strength of the blood ancestors, but so far, unfortunately, I have not seen your strangeness. β
I replied, "You can see what the consequences will be." β
He was silent for a long time, and then retreated into the corner, his voice still echoing in the air: "There will be a time later, Sword Saint of the Black Coffin, one day, I will make you pay a heavy price for killing your fellow citizens." β
