Morningstar and Xie Shiqi's analysis was correct, the day before the finals started, a stranger finally came to find Morningstar.

Morning Star showed extraordinary enthusiasm, just like if the child who had been waiting for the gift for a long time finally got what he wanted, the first thing he said after seeing the person who came was: You are here, I am impetuous when I wait, and I will probably go crazy if I don't come again.

The visitor was taken aback by Morning Star's words, he had no idea why Morning Star would say such a thing, so he asked Morning Star, "You, do you know me?" ”

Morningstar was still very familiar and replied, "Aren't you the one who came to me on behalf of the Star Killer Team?" ”

The other party was obviously very surprised, he didn't know how Morningstar guessed his identity, but the process was not important, as long as he had the result he wanted. Consciously and chicly shook off the finely made windbreaker, the person who came unceremoniously sat on the sofa next to Morning Star, cocked his son and looked at the water cup on the table, and looked at Morning Star, as if he was questioning Morning Star's hospitality.

Morning Star understood, hurriedly took a few steps forward and poured a glass of water for the visitor, and said, "Let's get straight to the point, I don't like intrigue very much." ”

Perhaps it was Morningstar's attitude that confused the visitor, but this man, who would not be noticed on the street, actually felt that he had a little more bearing, shook his shirt, cleared his throat and said, "My name is Manny, and I am the external affairs officer of the Star Killing Team. ”

Morning Star hurriedly stretched out his hand, shook the other party's hand lightly, and said, "Mr. Manny, as the opponent of tomorrow's game, you must have something very important to say when you find me at this time, I will listen to you." ”

Manny didn't notice anything wrong with Morningstar's handshake with him, but Morningstar had already used his psionic powers to inspect the other's body. There's nothing wrong with giving back, the man who calls himself Manny is a human through and through.

Manny, who sat back in his seat, was very satisfied with Morningstar's attitude, apparently because Morningstar's familiar attitude had confused him and misjudged Morningstar's character, and Manny thought that the Republic warrior in front of him, who was feared by many in the sect, was a bit in vain. His expression took on a bit of contempt, and his tone began to be much more flirtatious, and Manny said, "If I'm not mistaken, your name is Morningstar." Many people in our country preach that you are gods, but I think they are exaggerating. ”

Morningstar nodded hurriedly and said, "It's just a name, Mr. Manny, tell me about your intentions." ”

Manny's expression was more casual, but also a little relaxed, he felt that this conversation would definitely have a very good result, coughed lightly, Manny said: "I think you should have seen the strength of our star killing team, what do you think are the chances of winning tomorrow's game?" ”

"Minimally!" Morningstar replied against his will, but his true thoughts were nine out of ten.

Manny was so pleased with Morningstar's answer that he picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water, continuing, "What do you think if I say that our team can deliberately release water and let you win the championship?" ”

"I'd like to see you after beating you to a pig's head." Although he thought so in his heart, Morning Star knew that he couldn't say this, and the expression on his face instantly changed from flattery to solemnity, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "I have always believed that pies will not fall from the sky, what good will you do by doing this?" ”

Manny snorted contemptuously from his nose and said, "I only need an item that you got by accident, this thing is dispensable to you, but it means a lot to me. Think about it, don't you be tempted to exchange a dispensable thing for the champion of the Tripartite Military Academy Mecha Competition? While tempting the morning star, Manny leaned forward, placed his hands on his knees, and continued with his hands in the air, "I have investigated you, and I know that your father is Layton, but the time that belonged to him is over. You are about to graduate from the Yanhuang Military Academy, with the aura of being a champion in the competition, you will definitely be able to get a good job in the army of the Republic, and then rise to the top, if you work hard enough, it is not impossible to reproduce your father's original glory. Think about it, when someone introduces your father in the future, what they will say is - this is Morningstar's father, aren't you excited? ”

Morning Star twitched the corner of his mouth, this old-fashioned persuasion would appear on him, I really don't know if there is no one available on the Heavenly Mandate Sect's side, and he chose such a product to negotiate with him. But then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and in Manny's eyes, it became Morningstar and began to imagine life at that time.

As if having made up his mind, Morningstar was about to enter the molars and said, "Say, what do you want?" ”

"A stone!" Manny never thought that this mission would be so easy, the rumored butcher was not enough, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, people, there will always be greed, as long as the weakness is identified, what is impossible to achieve.

"What stone?" Morningstar asked, feigning puzzlement.

"Don't pretend to be confused about the stone you got on Haven Star, we have reliable information that you took it." Manny was still immersed in his own little world, completely oblivious to the fact that Morningstar's facial expression had begun to change a little.

"Oh, I remember, there is such a stone, but what do you want it for, I studied it for a long time after I got it, and I don't know what special abilities that thing has." Morningstar said.

Manny was a little unhappy with Morningstar's question, and his tone instantly hardened, saying, "It's none of your business, you just have to say yes or no." ”

Seeing that the conversation was about to collapse, Morningstar no longer had any interest in pretending, and gave Manny a contemptuous snort, which was a little more arrogant than Manny. Leaning back, following Manny's posture when he first entered the house, he looked at Manny with drooping eyelids and said, "You're talking about that artifact!" When my woman slaughtered Gondor, the guy seemed to be very unwilling, and he was still looking at that thing when he died. ”

When Manny heard Morningstar's words, he realized that he had been tricked by this guy, Morningstar's attitude was all acting, and the purpose of his trip was clear to him, and it was even possible that the purpose of his team's coming here was known. Manny felt a chill run down his back, and it was only then that he understood what Morningstar's "You're here" meant when he first entered the house.

Morningstar ignored Manny's surprise, his tone became a little cold, and continued, "But let's not talk about that for now, I wonder what you would do if I said I didn't agree?" ”

Manny smiled, but his expression was extremely hideous, and he gritted his teeth and replied, "Don't play with fire, young man, if you refuse me, you will probably die!" But I know you're a good fighter, but my men are loyal dead soldiers, and even if I can't do anything about you, your friends, your teammates, are likely to die on the field! And those women of yours, Katerina, Catherine, Qin Qing......"

Just as Manny wanted to continue to threaten the Morning Star, he suddenly felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a little, and when he looked at the Morning Star, he found that the young man's expression had begun to become terrifying, and there was a dark red glimmer in his eyes, and above his right hand, there was a flash of lightning.

"You know, people have reverse scales, and unfortunately, you have touched my reverse scales." Morningstar stood up, his figure seemed to be a little taller, and said in a cold tone, "But you're lucky, you're just thinking about it, if you do this, I don't mind turning you into a corpse." With a flick of his right hand, the electric light in his hand dissipated, and Morningstar had no interest in continuing to talk to Manny, and said coldly: "Why don't you get out of here?" Waiting for me to send you out? ”

Manny was shocked into a cold sweat by the murderous aura on Morning Star's body, but he still said stiffly, "Morning Star! You'll regret it! ”

There was no answer, only Morning Star's reddened eyes.

Manny almost ran out of Morningstar's room, but when he was at the door, he was stopped by Morningstar, mistakenly thinking that Morningstar had changed his mind, and turned around to see only Morningstar's back.

"I have one more question for you, as a human, a normal human, why would you serve that thing?"

Morningstar's voice reached Manny's ears like thunder, and he couldn't think normally, and his mind kept repeating "How did Morningstar know?" How would he know about that thing? ”。 Shocked, Manny didn't have the courage to leave without Morningstar's permission, and gritted his teeth, Manny replied, "How did you know about his horror?" Disobedience is a dead end! ”

Manny was gone, and it wasn't too much to say that he had fled in a hurry, but Morningstar's phrase "poor man" still lingered in his ears. I don't know how many people he bumped into along the way, even if he was pushed, Manny didn't react until he returned to his territory and saw the sit-in Star Killer team members, Manny's consciousness returned to his body.

It is said that extreme fear will bring two results, one is to be paralyzed on the ground and become powerless. The other is to fight back and burst into unimaginable potential. Manny's choice was obviously the latter, because these sit-in team members, these dead soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, gave him confidence. Morningstar's mercy did not make Manny remorse, but it did inspire a brutal mood in his heart.

"Morning Star! You'll regret it! I will let my warriors slaughter your friends in front of you and make you live in self-reproach for the rest of your life! ”

Picking up the terminal in his hand, he pressed a string of numbers, and after connecting, Manny said, "Viper, let your people move!" ”

The other end of the terminal did not answer, but hung up the call, and a conspiracy had already begun, and the target was Morningstar.

The morning sun in Buttkamp was still warm, a little warmer than the capital of the Republic. Outside the arena, the forest is swaying its body in the breeze, like a welcoming waiter bowing to the visitors. A few thunder elephants at the edge of the forest crouched quietly on the ground, allowing a few mischievous children to play with its huge body. The adults who accompanied the children were a little less energetic, preferring to feed the thunder elephant a little food rather than jumping up and down. The big guys also enjoyed the process, although the food that these humans brought to their mouths was a little small, but the taste made them very satisfied, and they snorted a few times to express their overstepping feelings.

Next to the thunder elephant closest to the arena, there stood a man and a woman, and the thunder elephant in front of them had two children of seven or eight years old beside them. The little boy, who was supposed to be his older brother, was rubbing the fluff on the neck of the thunder elephant with his hands, looking very excited. Behind the boy was a slightly smaller girl, who was looking at her brother with adoration. The little girl didn't know why her brother was so brave, such a huge creature couldn't make her brother afraid. Although the boy is small, he already has the consciousness of protecting his sister as an older brother, patting his chest and saying that even if the thunder elephant is angry and wants to bully his sister, he will subdue this big guy. The prostrate thunder elephant lifted his squinting eyelids and closed them again, as if to confirm the boy's ability to subdue him.

The little boy seemed to have read Lei Xiang's thoughts, and was about to reason with Lei Xiang when the shouts of his parents came from behind him. Reluctantly returning to his parents, the boy said, "Daddy, this guy doesn't believe I can subdue him!" ”

The man rubbed the little boy's hair dotingly, and said, "Well, remember what he looks like, and come back here when you grow up, and let him know how good you are when the time comes!" ”

The boy glanced back at the thunder elephant again, and secretly clenched his little fist, as if he had made a decision. The little girl obediently put her little hand into her mother's hand, and the family of four walked slowly to the hotel on the side.

"Mom, is there a contest against Princess Caterina today? She's so beautiful, I want to be a princess when I grow up! The girl's innocent words made the young parents laugh and cry, and the woman gently pinched the girl's tender face and said, "Baby, only the king's daughter can be called a princess, but it's a pity that your father is not a king!" ”

The man also leaned over, took the girl's other hand and said, "Although Daddy is not a king, you will always be Daddy's little princess." ”

The girl smiled happily, and although she was not very old, she knew that her father's words were true. The little boy should not be much older than the girl, but at this moment he has the consciousness that a male creature should have, and he doesn't care about this kind of thing, and says: "I don't want my father to be a king, I don't want to be a prince, I want to be a knight!" The people of the Star Killer Team are all bad guys, and I'm going to take them down! ”

The little girl's eyes were full of adoration again, and she said sweetly: "Brother, you are the best, in the future, you will definitely be like Brother Morningstar, be a knight of the princess, and defeat the bad people who bully the princess!" ”

The little boy had a different opinion on his sister's words and retorted, "No! It's not Brother Morningstar, it's Uncle Morningstar! ”

"It's my brother!"

"It's uncle!"

……

"Ahh Standing in front of the giant floor-to-ceiling mirror, Morningstar sneezed and rubbed his nose, his face full of bewilderment.

Qin Qing, who was beside Morning Star to help Morning Star sort out his clothes, was also puzzled, how could Morning Star's strong body comparable to a thunder elephant catch a cold, so he asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?" ”

Chenxing shook his head, turned around and hugged Qin Qing's slender waist, and replied, "It's not uncomfortable, but why do I suddenly feel like I'm a few years older, it seems that someone calls me uncle."

Qin Qing covered her mouth and smiled, people in their early twenties said that they were old, it was really unreasonable, the average age was already up to 100 years old, was there a better time than this age? Straightening the collar of Zheng Chenxing, Qin Qing said: "Let's go, it will be Princess Katerina's competition in a while, let's cheer for her together!" ”

Morningstar's original intention was not to let Qin Qing appear in public, he had no selfish intentions, it was simply because of the conversation with Manny the day before. Although Morning Star hated to warn this Heavenly Mandate Sect's lackey severely, he didn't know if this guy would jump off the wall in a hurry and really attack the people around him. But Qin Qing's nature of watching the battle was very high, and Morning Star couldn't bear to let her down. Caterina simply sent a lot of secret guards in the morning to protect the people around Morningstar, which made Morningstar feel a lot more relieved.

The third- and fourth-place matches are played between the Imperial Royal Military Academy team and the Icefield Star team, which should be called the National Derby, in the words of the home planet Earth period. Although it was destined that the results of this mecha competition would be crushed by the Republic's Yanhuang Military Academy team and the Alliance's Agelon Star Sector Star Killing Team, Vestock, as the head of the Empire, was still very happy. The reason? Locke's identity was already known to Vistock, and it was enough for his daughter to defeat the son of the Supreme Leader of the League. The only regret is that the current leader of the republic is too old, and his children are already over forty years old, and they are exerting their energies in all areas of the republic. If Caterina can beat them in this tournament, it will be perfect. However, the guy named Morning Star made Vistock a little angry, although he was used as a gun by himself, but this guy actually arched his own good cabbage. Thinking that Layton's angry face would laugh out loud because of this, Vestock was angry. What's even more infuriating is that Caterina actually used her secret guard to protect the other women of Morningstar's kid, which was really difficult for Vistock to accept, and he once asked Caterina very seriously if Morningstar was worth Caterina to pay so much for him. But Caterina was fascinated and said it was worth it. But angry is angry, and Vistock can still understand Katerina's thoughts. His own son, Katarina's younger brother, looked less and less like he could succeed to the position of head of the empire, and the young man was now far more interested in literature and art than in politics. Both Caterina and Vystock know that such a result is likely to be that Caterina needs to inherit the throne, which indicates that she will not be able to get together with Morning Star in the end.
