"Seven years ago, I served as the head of the guard at the home of Earl Luke. At that time, I was too young and greedy in my heart, even though I knew that Luke's family was full of evil, but for the sake of that huge income, I chose to ignore it. At that time, I had a group of good brothers, the kind of brothers who could safely give their backs to each other. There are not too many people, only a dozen people, but all of them have deep feelings. We are usually responsible for the security of Earl Luke, and we are not involved in the affairs of the Luke family, which is probably the main reason why we are able to stay in the Luke family. ”

"At that time, the Luke family was very powerful, and in addition to us guards, there was also an external team, which they called 'loyal dogs'. This team, just like their name, will resolutely carry out as long as it is a family order, without regard for consequences, right or wrong, or even human nature. Many of the loyal dogs are wanted, killers, and perverts, and Earl Luke takes them in and does something shady for him. At that time, I stumbled upon Count Luke's plans for something terrible that I could not continue to ignore them. It was something they were going to do with an entire village, something like a blood sacrifice, but I didn't have the courage to stop it. ”

"A few days later, late one night, it was my turn to work with those brothers. That night, the whole manor was terrible silent, and the rooms that should have been bustling were empty, and we, who were not allowed to enter the basement of the manor, ignored the rules and went to the basement for fear of danger to the masters of the manor. That scene became the nightmare of my life. There was blood everywhere, the color of the ground was no longer visible in the basement, and countless corpses fell at the feet of Earl Luke's relatives, mutilated, and many people were disemboweled, including women and children. And the masters of the Luke family, one by one, have gone crazy, many strange things have grown on their bodies, and the whole person has become crazy, tearing at the villagers who are still alive, and the screams are still ringing in my ears. I saw with my own eyes that Count Luke killed a child with his own hands and drank up the child's blood. At that moment, I felt that I was also crazy, or rather my conscience had awakened, and I took my brother to kill all the Luke family, leaving no one behind, whether it was a woman or a child. Because they're all crazy, they're all demons! ”

Morningstar sat quietly in his seat, listening to the middle-aged man recount what had happened. But the middle-aged man became more and more excited, and finally even began to pull his hair and hit the table with his head. Morningstar knew that what had happened at that time had already cast a psychological shadow on the captain of the guard. Stand up and walk next to the middle-aged person, and gently pat the other person's shoulder until the other person slowly calms down.

The middle-aged man who had returned to normal had an apologetic face on his face and said to Morning Star: "I'm really sorry, this incident has tormented me for seven years, and I lose control of my emotions every time I think about it." ”

Morningstar said he didn't care, asking, "What happened later?" ”

The middle-aged man drank the wine in the glass again, picked up the wine bottle on the side and refilled it, and said: "We were very scared, we didn't know what to do at that time, we originally wanted to turn ourselves in, but on the way we were chased by loyal dogs, in the process, we learned an unacceptable fact, such a thing has been done many times by Earl Luke, and there have been people like us who want to denounce, but to no avail, but after Earl Luke learned about it, he sent loyal dogs to dispose of it." I knew that we couldn't fight those people, so I began to live on the run, and hid in Tibet with my family for three years, and many people died in the middle, and I was injured many times, and I became what I am now. It wasn't until three years ago that by chance, we got an ancient star map, the kind drawn on the skin of an unknown animal. ”

Morningstar shook his head, interrupted the middle-aged man's words, and said, "Then you guys went out to hunt for treasures according to this star map?" ”

The middle-aged man laughed and replied: "Desperate, who can manage so much, even the spaceships used are stolen, and we have made a few star thieves on the way, and we have made resource replenishment, but we don't have merchants, we just took some supplies." ”

Morningstar waved his hand for the other to continue.

The middle-aged man sighed and continued, "It took us three years to find that planet. This planet is located at the junction of the Republic and the Empire, a planet that has been recognized as resource-poor. It was indeed barren, and out of the strange rock was yellow sand, and after several searches, we found a temple underground. The temple was obviously not a human creation, and I don't know what had been dead for tens of thousands of years. The temple was almost empty, but it was full of deadly mechanisms, and I lost two brothers for it, but all we got was this stone, the one we had auctioned off. We thought it was a waste of work, but we were unwilling to try our luck, so we approached the Doyle family of New Charles to help with the auction, but we didn't expect to be favored by you. ”

Morningstar tapped his fingers on the tabletop, constantly checking his mind to see if there was a problem with the middle-aged man's words, and then asked, "Do you have any other discoveries in that temple?" Like murals? Like statues? ”

The middle-aged man suddenly realized, hurriedly took out an ancient camera from his arms, and said embarrassedly: "I have been fleeing for many years, and there is no terminal for you to use, after all, that thing is only available to people with legal status, so I can only use this." ”

Morningstar reached out and took the camera, and with the help of the middle-aged man, he turned on the browsing function, and the first chapter picture he saw was a photo of a woman of the same age as the middle-aged person. Morning Star hurriedly turned his head away, ignoring the insolence. The middle-aged man was embarrassed to turn over the photo, and said with a smile: "My wife, hehe, I'll take it out and see it when I miss her." ”

Morningstar turned his head again, and the picture in his camera had changed, it was a large wall, pitch black, but the green light on the wall was circulating, forming many strange patterns. Morningstar felt as if he had seen a similar pattern somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. Continuing to look through, Morning Star found that the middle-aged man was really careful, and he actually filmed all the internal space of the entire temple, and entered the passage inside the temple, making the middle-aged man lose the place of the two brothers. Morningstar was very satisfied and said that he wanted to buy these photos, but the middle-aged man waved his hand, saying that he didn't need to spend money and gave them to Morningstar. Then, the middle-aged man took out a small object from his bosom and handed it to Morning Star.

It was a gray disc, not as big as the palm of the morning star's hand. There were two movable bumps on them, and the Morning Star tried to move them with his hands, but found it difficult to move, but these two bumps would move as the Morning Star turned, apparently centered on the position of the disk, and the two bumps pointed to some kind of being. Morning Star couldn't judge what this gadget was for a while, so he looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "This was also given to me?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and replied, "These are all brought out of that strange temple, since the stone has been sold to you, it is useless for me to keep him, just give it to you." ”

Morningstar thanked him again, thought for a moment and asked, "Brother, you got this huge amount of money, what do you want to do?" If you're looking for a place to spend your time, I'll introduce you to make sure you're satisfied. ”

The middle-aged man immediately shook his head, looked at Morning Star and said: "What a pastime, with this money, I have to find a way to get a legal identity for my brother and my brother's family, so that even I can't stand the days of hiding in Tibet, not to mention the old people, women and children in the family." You ......"

As if suddenly realizing something, the middle-aged man became vigilant, took a few steps away from the morning star, and said with a calm face: "Are you talking to me?" What is your purpose? ”

Morning Star picked up the wine glass on the table, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said slowly, "What purpose can I have?" Do you think I'm some kind of loyal dog, seven years ago I was a child, I don't care if that hell Earl lives or dies? But speaking of which, you said earlier that there are a lot of strange things growing on the people of the Earl's family, and those things seem to have no skin to cover the muscles, but they are unusually strong. Isn't the form of the Earl's family weird, like? Like a zombie? ”

The middle-aged man was taken aback when he heard Morning Star's words, pointed to Morning Star and said, "You still say that you are not a loyal dog?" You, how do you know this? I didn't tell you about it just now, but you must have seen it! You're the one who is a loyal dog! The middle-aged man threw his glass on the ground and reached for his waist, as if to take out his weapon. But as soon as there was a flower in front of him, the figure of the morning star became blurred, and in the blink of an eye, he had already stood opposite the middle-aged man, reached out and firmly grasped the middle-aged man's hand stretched out to his waist and said, "Brother calm down, listen to me after I finish speaking." ”

"Shadow, Shadowstep? Who are you from Leighton? How could you use his tricks? The middle-aged man recognized Shadow Step, which surprised Morning Star, let go of his hand and asked, "Brother knows my father?" ”

"Father? Are you Leighton's son? ”

Morningstar nodded and took two steps back.

The middle-aged man's mood obviously eased because of this news, but he still remained vigilant, and said in a sneering voice: "Where would a person like me know your father, Leighton was my idol when I was a child, and I worshipped it for many years, and it is still now." Shadow Step, hey, when I was a child, I naively wanted to learn with a few friends, and I fell on my head and broke my head and bled out. ”

Morning Star smiled and said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you, but don't get your hopes up." My old man didn't hide his secrets, and taught many people the skills of shadow walking, but what can really be used, except for myself, there is only one person, and he has learned nondescriptly, barely able to flash three meters and five meters. ”

The middle-aged man laughed out loud and said, "How else can it be said that the son of the wind is a master, it seems that only your family's genes can learn this." ”

Morning Star didn't answer, pulled the middle-aged man back to his seat and said, "Brother, the misunderstanding has been resolved, this time you can tell me the name, right?" ”

The middle-aged man was already unsuspecting, and if Morning Star's strength wanted to get something from him, there was no need to use any conspiracy at all, just take it by force. The middle-aged man replied heartily: "Just call me Leo, my full name is too long, and it's quite awkward." ”

Morning Star also let down his guard in his heart, this name is consistent with the name of the rebel captain he knows.

"Brother, the reason why I know what you saw is because I have seen it before. You've probably heard of Havenstar, right? Morningstar asked.

Leo nodded, although he had been hiding in the East for many years, he still knew something about this kind of major event that shocked the human camp, and rubbed his hands together and replied: "I've heard of some, it seems that there is a swarm attack there, and there is some kind of infectious disease, is it the same as what happened to Earl Luke?" ”

Morningstar sighed and replied, "Yes, that disease is called the Death Plague. I was a participant in the Haven incident, but my judgment was wrong, I thought that the death plague was first discovered on Hyven, but I didn't expect that this disease had existed seven years ago. The Heavenly Mandate Sect is really full of accumulation. ”

Leo was confused, what Mandate of Heaven sect? Sounds like a great thing.

Morningstar briefed Leo about the Mandate of Heaven and his contact with them, giving Leo a clear idea.

"You're saying that this Mandate of Heaven sect existed seven years ago? After years of lurking, recently started to do something in the Agron Sector? Leo asked.

Morningstar nodded, then shook his head again, and replied, "Maybe, maybe it was earlier, maybe they started operating many years ago, no wonder they can have such a rapid momentum." After a moment of contemplation, Morningstar continued, "As you said, brother, you are going to use this money to obtain a legal identity for your brother and family, but I know from your words that the organization called Hound seems to be looking for you. Have you ever thought that even if you have legal status, you can avoid being chased by loyal dogs? ”

Leo had obviously thought about it, and then fell into deep thought, and after a while, he sighed deeply and replied, "Brother Morningstar, you may not know that the days of escape are really worse than death, and some of our people have tried to commit suicide. If we can't return to normal life, sooner or later we will all die on the way to escape. Early death and late death are deaths, and we can enjoy life before we die, we admit it! ”

Morningstar can understand Leo's mentality, but he doesn't agree, and says, "Brother, it's too negative. If I say that there is a place where you can be given a reasonable identity and at the same time protect you from being killed by loyal dogs. It's just that this place is still relatively deserted, and you may not be able to live a luxurious life like New Charles, and you may need each of you to work for a reward. Would you like to go? ”

"Fuck the lavish life, what does it have to do with us, we just want to be safe, brother, you know? If there really is such a place, I am willing to spend all the money I have earned this time, but how can there be such a place, where can there be a group of fugitives like us who are wanted by the Empire? Leo was a little emotional, but Morningstar looked at him with a smile and replied, "This place is called Itgleason, my territory!" ”

"Your territory?" Leo asked in disbelief with his mouth wide open.

Morningstar nodded again and replied, "Yes, my territory, a planet that belongs to me, a home that can provide you with shelter. ”

Leo never thought that there would be such a place where they could return to their normal lives, Morningstar's words made him very excited for a while, but then calmed down and said, "I believe what you said is true, but I don't want to be manipulated anymore, when I was the captain of the guard, I let go of too much sin." ”

Morningstar was almost so angry by Leo's words that he vomited blood, pointed to his nose and asked, "Do you think I look like that kind of evildoer?" ”

Leo shook his head and replied, "No, it's not like, but what are you doing this for me?" ”

"Just for the sake of your seven years on the run, you didn't leave your brother and your brother's family behind!"

……

In the end, Morningstar couldn't decide what Leo promised him, whether he was a desperate choice or moved by his own words, or whether he found something in himself that could be of use to him? But none of this mattered anymore, and Morningstar did something that made him happy. Leo's care for his friends and those who can be called a burden made Morningstar decide to help the man. Although it can't help all the people who are in difficulty, since they have collided, they can't run away. Many people think that such things are meaningless to do, and there will still be many people in the sea of suffering, so it is better to start from the overall situation and solve the fundamental problems. But Morningstar never thought so, people are complex, human society is even more complex, there will be no shortage of people in need of help at any time, and no overall situation can solve this problem. Since it can't be completely eradicated, why not look at the present, how can the world be peaceful?

Under Ye Qingshan's arrangement, Morningstar accompanied Leo to board the floating car, and Morningstar needed to confirm the credibility of Leo's words one last time, that is, to meet his friends and family.

Leo was moved by Morningstar's words, and promised Morningstar to go to Itgleeson to pursue a new life, so he had no complaints about Morningstar's offer to meet the people he was protecting, and even proposed that Morningstar should not continue to pay the auction price, and the money should be used to buy a safe sky for his own people. Morningstar rejected Leo's offer, and although 60 million new charles coins were coveted, it was deserved by Leo's group of suffering people, who had the right to a better life.

Looking at the floating car gradually disappearing from view, in the Doyle family castle, in Jensen's study, Ye Qingshan, who was standing in front of the window, smiled and said: "Insight into human nature, what a little fox." ”

Jensen beside him also nodded and said, "It's indeed a little fox, you have to be careful when you contact this kid in the future, if you don't get it, you will be in this kid's way." ”

On the sofa behind her, Eve, who was talking to Andrea in a whisper, protested: "Grandpa, Uncle Ye, why do you say that about Morning Star, that's the man I chose, isn't it good to be smart?" ”

Ye Qingshan looked back at Eve, smiling without saying a word. I thought to myself, this eldest lady has really grown up, and she is no longer the little girl who pesters herself every day to be coquettish and cute, and now she has begun to defend her man.

Jensen was not as easy-going as Ye Qingshan, turned his head, blew his beard and glared, "I want to hold my grandson, you two hurry up!" ”
