Text Chapter 68: Undercurrents

Green Star. The Land of Oaks.

Tree Yebi Stutain still sat on one of the crown leaves of the "World Tree" as before, with his legs folded, silently looking down at everything below. The only difference is that his "realm" at the moment is not as stable as last time, because he has to be distracted to deal with those chattering and deadly documents, most of which are still 100,000 urgent and unavoidable......

In recent years, there has been more or less disorder at the borders of several jurisdictions under the rule of Yulian. Originally, of course, this phenomenon also existed, but the outbreaks were not so frequent...... Without exception, it was a backward civilization on a certain border that suddenly exploded in science and technology, rose a few large ranks on the original basis, inexplicably expanded, and began to spy on the resources of the Yulian Center. As if there was some big hand operating in the dark, these border civilizations sounded the horn of "uprising", vigorously calling on other civilizations to get rid of the control of the Yulian, and calling the members of the Yulian who had helped them "the lackeys of the superiors".

Don't look at the tree sitting very steadily now, in fact, he has been receiving a secret letter from the heart from outer space, in just a few minutes, he has approved three Star Expedition Campaigns, and received at least ten "Requests for Genocide Orders" from different regions, and he is annoyed......

In all fairness, isn't it a mutiny? It's not that it hasn't happened before, why is it so brainless to deal with it now, and just hand in an extermination order application? And what about the peacekeeping forces? What about the Planetary Security Force? What about political consultations? None of them tried it, and they even started to submit extermination orders...... Do they think it is so easy to humanely destroy a race?

“……”

The tree was slightly angry, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was sitting on a high place, still obscured by the dark clouds in the sky, and he couldn't see the brilliance of the heavenly river.

"Hey......" he sighed softly, his whole body relaxed, and he smiled bitterly, "At least in this regard, let me take it a little easier." ”

With that, he curled his fingers and flicked them into the air. The sea of clouds in the sky instantly split into two halves, like a cracked silk, and the milky white light above the sky dome sprinkled down without reservation, like a layer of fine sand covering all things.

"It's so much better......" he stood up satisfied, trying to move and relax, but suddenly found a person standing behind him!

————

"Your Highness the Princess." The tree quickly realized who the person in front of him was, half-knelt down, put his left hand behind his back, and saluted respectfully. As the Nebula God of War, his rank is actually on par with that of the Senate, and in fact, the tree only bows when facing Lilei, and he basically bows when he meets other elders......

Compared with the old and steady tree, Her Royal Highness the princess is very immature.

Lilei Green, the de facto ruler of Green Star, took over the reins early due to the early aging of her parents. She wore a lilac high-necked private gown with a mint-colored phosphophyllite pendant inlaid at the neckline, and her figure was petite and delicate, and her appearance looked no different from that of a human little girl. She has long, pale pink hair and emerald green eyes, and a pure white ribbon tied around her forehead, with only two slightly curly strands of hair resting. Other than that, she didn't wear anything that could show royal power, so she looked like an ordinary little girl.

However, on the Green Star, Princess Lilei's appearance is very conspicuous, because she looks "human-like" and overly human-like.

There are no vertebrates on this planet, and all the inhabitants are plants, moving plants. They survive on sunlight alone, and their evolutionary patterns are very different from those of animals...... Princess Lilei's parents seem to be in human form, so there is no doubt that she is also humanoid as well.

……

"Wow~~~~" Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes widened, and she looked at the sky incredulously, looking at the clouds that had just been snapped off by the tree's crooked fingers, and asked excitedly, "That!" How? ”

"It's just a matter of borrowing." The tree brought the subject lightly, then got up, took some orange, jelly-like semi-solid lumps from the wooden cabinet beside him, and handed them over with great skill, asking softly, "If I'm not mistaken...... Your Royal Highness, you should have arranged a state banquet tonight. ”

"Don't worry, I still have a good time going to the state banquet...... "She munched on these jelly-like snacks without any image, and waved her hand heroically, and her style of speech was not at all like that of a dignified princess," ...... Hmm~~ah~!! You can't imagine how boring and disgusting it can be! Really, tree, sometimes I'm thinking...... If only I were as good as you, as long as I put on a black robe and put on a cold face, no one would dare to come in front of me to annoy me. ”

"......" Tree smiled as she complained, pulling over a small bench and motioning for her to sit down, "Do I give you such a bad impression?" ”

“…… Of course not, just to give you an example. The girl rolled her eyes at him, and shoved the semi-solid mass in her hand into her mouth at once, so that the orange juice was all over her mouth, "What 'national celebration'...... The leaders of the civilization of those jurisdictions are rubbish! You weren't there, you didn't see it, those guys had green eyes, and greed seemed to come out of it...... I obviously despise the food style of the Green Star people from the bottom of my heart, but I praise us for 'environmental protection' and 'energy saving' with a clear conscience. The mouth is full of fake and empty things, but in fact, they are all thinking that we can give them some more funds and some benefits...... And every time there is a mention of substantive and constructive aid projects, no one says anything, or they just talk about each other and pass the buck......"

"Humph! Disgusting, disgusting! The little princess snorted angrily, pulling a cotton pillow on the floor and rubbing it back and forth like a vent, "None of these guys who breathe carbon dioxide are good except for them!" Let Sheila deal with them, I'm not going to serve anyway. ”

The tree took out a handkerchief from the black mage robe, leaned over, gently wiped the juice from Lilei's mouth, and said with a smile, "Your Royal Highness...... Don't talk about these things on the outside. In any case, your position is real, and what you say can easily be misinterpreted......"

"I~~know~~Dao!" Lilei dragged out her voice and gave him an angry look, "That's where I complain to you...... Who else but you will listen to me? You're already carrying a burden of secrets, and no matter how much you listen to the confession of an innocent girl, you won't leak it. ”

"Sheila would be a good person to talk to, if you will, and he's incredibly loyal to you."

"Sheilata...... He's a good guy indeed, and I'm not worried that he'll betray me. But he ...... Very busy, very busy, since joining Yulian, he has become even busier, and he is in charge of almost everything in the jurisdiction. At this point, Lilei's tone lowered again, and instead of rubbing the pillow on her hand, she hugged it tightly, "Twenty years have passed...... Sheila's leaves are getting yellower, and you're studying druid spells more and more, and it's just me...... I haven't done anything, I haven't even come to maturity, I've always been 'Her Royal Highness the Princess'......"

She grabbed the palm of her hand fiercely and said in disgust, "I hate this body!" I want to be like you - to fully master the energy in the body, complete the evolution from a juvenile to a mature body, and then jump out of the racial limit and become a further 'living form'. (The tree was not humanoid in the beginning, but after studying the druid spells on the green star to the fullest, he used the energy in his body to complete his evolution)

……

The tree smiled softly and said, "Lilei, everything must be done gradually, and you must not take risks. Do you know the immortal rulers of Mecca Tobia? Lilulu Mai Oliva, doesn't she look like you? ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Lilei said weakly, "She is a serious empress, smart, resolute, and able to fight, one person is enough to firmly control a jurisdiction, how can I compare with her......"

"Why bother with presumptuousness, Your Highness Princess. In the jurisdiction managed by Green Star, the public also has a high opinion of you, and Sheila can definitely testify in this regard...... Furthermore, you are not 'mature' just because your parents are very high-level druids. The bloodline they left behind (yes, the Greenstars also have bloodlines) is too pure, and it will take you more time to get used to it...... That's all, it's not that you're stupid, don't think too much about it. ”

……

Both of them were silent for a while, looking at the endless black night sky, and the tree finally sighed.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, since you took the initiative to find it, I will simply tell you about that matter." He hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "I might get out of here for a while." ”

"What?" Lilei was startled, "Someone sent you a call-up?" Where are you going? ”

"Rest assured, it's not a dangerous place...... Just a trip to Earth. I didn't want to be caught by others, so I didn't report it to Yulian. He tapped his fingers lightly on the top of the wooden table and asked, "Your Highness Princess, have you ever heard that something has happened to the earth recently?" ”

"A little bit of it...... After all, I'm only in charge of the internal affairs on the Green Star, and I don't know much about Yulian, so I basically told me by Sheila. But he only mentioned it and didn't elaborate much...... It seems that Mecca Tobia's side has already sent a Nebula God of War over? ”

"Yes." The tree said in a deep voice, "Muton Yebi Kiora, the new Nebula God of War. Lilulu sent him there, I think...... This may be because the senior management of Yulian wants to test Milton's loyalty to the organization. ”

"Oh, it's him, the same Mitton who had a bit of a feud with you in the past. He's quite strong, and since he's made a move, there's no need for you to follow...... Finish...... Wait a minute! As if she had reacted suddenly, Lilei jumped up from the floor like a cat and stared at him in dismay, "You mean...... By 'something happened to the earth' I mean ......"

"Shhh At present, the situation is uncertain, and Yulian's attitude towards him is also very ambiguous, we are one of the seven elders, and we can't express our position first. ”

“…… So what to do?! Lilei's eyes were full of worry, "Milton has always been a dead brain, and ......"

"On this point, Her Royal Highness can rest assured that even Milton will not forget his ancestors to that extent." The tree's gaze deepened, "That's what really worries me...... What will Lilulu do if Milton fails this test? ”

"Among our twelve Nebula God of War, there is an old 'general' who has been firmly in the ranks since the founding of Yulian, and has never had a storm of withdrawal or change. Because of his existence, Mecca Tobia was available for personal work, and other civilization leaders rarely issued a conscription order against the god of war...... Let's put it bluntly, he is the equivalent of Mecca Tobia's private army. ”

"I'm thinking...... If Milton didn't have the patience to do it in the end, would Lilulu ...... What about sending Cindir to Earth? ”

……

The name of Sindir, the god of ash war, has resounded throughout the world since the day of the establishment of the Yulian.

In the eyes of different civilizations, the meaning of the four words "Nebula God of War" is also different. Among the planets visited by the tree, people generally retain a very good impression of the god of war, because his self-image management is quite well done, and there are hardly any flaws to catch. In their eyes, these four words symbolize humility, politeness, and decency; Among the planets that Mutton has visited, people's general impression of the god of war is that he is brave, powerful, and jealous, which is most likely because Mutton is directly reckless when he meets ......; And the planets that Cindir has visited, their impression of the God of War is nothing more than four words - "mobile scourge".

As mentioned earlier, Cindir is, to put it bluntly, the lynching officer of Tobia in Mecca. As the leader of the Seven Elders of Yulian, Mecca Tobia is extremely glorious on the surface, but in fact there are a lot of unsavory things to deal with...... Cindir was born for this. It's no wonder that he has a bad reputation, when a certain civilization sees him, it is basically equivalent to being sentenced to death, what good impression can be transmitted...... Ghost stories about him circulate throughout civilizations, and even on many planets, the image of Cindir is religious, saying that seeing him is like seeing death, and whoever sees him dies......

"He? He...... Will it go? ”

"Considering Lilulu's character, it's quite possible. She is the kind of person who would rather kill by mistake than let go in order to take care of the overall situation. ”

"That'...... Isn't he ......" Lilei's expression suddenly became frightened and frightened, and then, as if she had suddenly grasped a life-saving straw, she raised her voice and shouted, "That's right! Milton has already gone to Earth, right? Before the suspect is extradited to the Yulian Tribunal, he is protected by the law, and Milton's rectum will definitely stick to that...... Even if it is Sindir, the laws of Yulian are binding on him to a certain extent......"

"Hey...... Your Royal Highness, you are thinking too simply. The tree shook her head helplessly, "Do you think Cindir would be the kind of person who cares about the law?" ”

"If there is a conflict...... I'm afraid Milton is no match for him. ”
