"That's it?" Gruba looked at Moon and Emma with some disdain.

"Yes, that's it. Moon shook Emma's hand hard, reassuring her.

"Isn't this the Void Chubby? What's all the fuss about. Gruba put his hand away from the lake and looked closely, but there were no fish.

"Isn't it like I've never seen it, and Emma as long as she recruits the fat man, her mana will be lost all the time. ”

"Void creatures, they are feeding on mana, and to maintain their existence, they must also consume mana, in fact, her level is too low, the total amount of mana and the speed of returning to blue are not enough, under normal circumstances, you can summon a chubby succubus in the void, and you won't worry about the blue problem. ”

"Oh, I see, I'll just find a blue gear for her to bring later. Moon said that this is not simple, and then went to the warehouse to rummage through it, thinking that the blue fat man always shouted that he was hungry, and he was not afraid of anything else, Moon was afraid that it would eat Emma.

"Why don't you want her to practice a little more and accumulate some experience and skills?"

"Makes sense, I'll think about it. "It's clear that Moon is perfunctory with Gruba.

"Heh, man. The undisguised contempt on Gruba's big face did nothing for Moon.

"Actually, I feel that when I treat the wounded, I can also accumulate experience, but I feel that I am about to break through, so I went to study group therapy, that is..."

"And then a fat blue man?" Moon thanked Gruba and dragged Emma away, and he found that Emma was always stuttering when facing Gruba, so what was there to be nervous about?

"Oh, lord, I wasn't in the room early in the morning, so I was here. How is it, has the trouble of the little lover been solved? Tyka appeared at the gate with her arms crossed, looking at Moon with bad intentions.

"Just right, you take her back, and I'll go see my father in a moment. Moon ignored the yin and yang Tihua and sent Emma over.

"Okay, what are you going to do, when are you coming back?"

"I don't know, but in the morning my father sent someone to inform me that he had something to discuss with me. ”

"Oh, then I'll go to Sister Luo Xia in a moment and ask her to come with you. ”

"Well, that's fine. Be careful to make a ship of ten thousand years. With that, Moon led the way into the city.

"Little girl, it's okay, the eldest young master of our family will go to Elder Gruba in the morning for your business, tsk. Tyhua took Emma's hand and followed Moon inside.

"It's not just that, he has other things to ask for, and I happened to be passing by. ”

"Yes, yes, I happened to pass by Moon's room last night, and then we went to ask for advice this morning. I understand. ”

"Yin and Yang are weird. Emma twisted Tihua's waist, "Hey, are you fat?"

"......" Tihua was like being struck by lightning, stiffened on the spot, and then said viciously: "You're done, the alliance between the two of us has broken down, and I'm going to make an alliance with Sister Luo Xia and Bone Dance." ”

"In that case, you'll be miserable. Emma's expression was mysterious.

"Why?"

"Moon doesn't like it, and... Both of them are big, but you're small. You will be bullied. If it were me, I might have barely managed to get in. ”

"I'm going to get rid of you, look at your little tail. The Tinka Monster screamed, summoning her white Nightblade Leopard, "Look at the move, Cat Cat Sex Temptation!" The Nightblade Leopard lay down on the spot, rolling, and sucked with a begging face.

"What a strong attack! Look at me! Fat man raids. The blue fat man walked out of the void and tripped over the nightblade leopard who was selling cuteness.

"Why are you so weak?" the two put away their hearts to fight, and Tiehua was a little puzzled.

"Isn't I, I don't have any mana. ”

"Hmm, didn't meditate last night?" Tilhua regretted after asking, what are you meditating on, Emma was in Moon's room last night, how can she have time to meditate.

"Hey!" Dihua pretended to sigh, "I only hear the new people laughing, but I don't see the old people crying." ”

"It's not the same. "Emma didn't continue to accompany Dihua," Sister Luo Xia was not around, and he slept very lightly. ”

"Well, he's always been like that. ”

"And the attitude is not the same. Emma said again.

"Oh? ”

"You must have also discovered it, for Sister Luo Xia, that is dependence, for bone dance, it is more appreciation. I have more mercy on you. For me, it feels more about compassion. ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter, sympathy and sympathy, it's pity. Let's go, let's go, fight for my business as an inventor. I'll tell you, I recently came up with another idea!"

The two held each other's hands, talked and laughed all the way, and went to the R&D room.

"Young Master. Luo Xia came to the study and saw Moon staring at the map in a daze.

"Huh?" Moon replied, "Oh, I'm thinking, it seems like Emma's business isn't easy. ”

"So what? The young master plans to send her back?"

"No, it won't. ”

"That's it, no matter how complicated and difficult it is, since the young master has carried it, there is no other choice. ”

"Hehe, occasionally a little dazed. Moon leaned back in his chair and relaxed his waist.

"On the Flame side, Xiaobai's progress is going well. It is expected that the rabbit people will come to us in batches in the future. In addition, she is also asking whether to add a fire, because the current situation of Fuyan is more tense. ”

"You can do this yourself, and I'll leave the nine places to you. I don't have to worry about you doing things. ”

"Hmm. Let's go, sir, wait. ”

"Good. ”

After briefly tidying up his appearance, Moon left Jixiang City accompanied by Luo Xia.

Riding on the Hippogriff flying to Stormwind, Moon looked down. Jicheng City, which was originally hidden in a part of the Deep Blue Forest, has long since lost that kind of concealment and mystery. The ancient war tree outside the city is extremely eye-catching, although it is not as tall as the cobalt blue shirt around it, but he is strong.

With the help of the flying mount, it didn't take too long for the two of them to arrive at Stormwind City, and if you think about it, it's been almost a year since the butterfly turned into a butterfly, and a lot of things have happened during this period.

Moon and Roxia were taken to Stone's study by the servants, and Moon felt that his father was the same as before, not much changed, but he felt more, how to say, more serious.

"Father. "Even the current Moon maintains a complicated attitude towards this man, he is strong, he is reliable, he is Moon's father, but Moon is not close to him, the reason is more of Moon's own problems, the identity of the unawakened always makes him shameless to face his father.

"Sit down. Storme didn't look back, but continued to look at the papers in his hand.

Luo Xia naturally stood behind Moon. Neither Moon nor Storm spoke.

"If you have any questions, just ask. After a long silence, Storm put down his papers and turned his chair in Moon's direction.

"Yes, I was just thinking that my father should have some advice when he called me this time. ”

"Nope. ”

"Hmm. "I have to say that what my father denied was simply something that Moon didn't expect.

"Huh. Seeing Moon stunned, Storm smiled rarely, at least in Moon's memory, this was the first time that his father, who had always been serious and old-fashioned, laughed in front of him.

"It wasn't a big deal, but I suddenly found out. You're going to be 101 years old, and it seems that our father and son have never had a serious heart-to-heart conversation?"

"Indeed... Yes. Moon was a little melancholy, he knew that his father's personality had always been serious and old-fashioned, and it was not aimed at himself, but he was still a little afraid to communicate with his father.

"Perhaps, you have a lot of questions for me?" Storm's attitude today seemed to be to have an open and honest conversation with Moon.

"There used to be a lot of problems, but now, there are fewer of them. ”

"Just ask. Storm didn't ask what it was about, nor did he let Luo Xia avoid it.

"Mother, what kind of person is she?" Moon hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't contain his curiosity about his mother.

I don't know if it was unexpected by Stone, or if I needed to think, Storm didn't answer immediately, and Moon waited patiently.

"She was a very peculiar woman. Smart, lively, has a wide range of hobbies, has changeable ideas, and at the same time has a girlish heart, romantic but uninhibited, and has a fairly strong sense of responsibility. Rather than fall into that haze of memory, Storm gave his own opinion very clearly.

"Mother, she... Could it be because of me..."

"No, it won't. Storm knew what Moon meant, and knew he wanted to ask if Arisanne's death would be because of Moon.

"As I said, she has a strong sense of responsibility, so she doesn't do anything outrageous. With that sense of responsibility, she knows exactly how important she is, and I don't think she'd put her life on the line for you or anything else. ”

"I see, I thought... I used to hate myself for that. Thought you would hate me too. ”

"There's no need. Don't say it's not because of you, it is. Since it was her choice, I would only respect her. Why be angry with you? ”

"Mother, did she leave a word?"

"Let me take good care of you. ”

"That starry robe..."

"There's no secret, it's just a dynamic starry sky. It's just..."

"So that I, let's, not forget the moon, not give up hope?"

"Probably yes, in that case, who could have predicted what the whole clan was about to face. ”

"Then why, just left it to me?"

"Because other people don't need it. Alyssa underestimates the instinct of living beings to survive, and even if there is no hope and no faith, they will still struggle to survive, and they will still do whatever it takes to survive. ”

Moon nodded, he actually understood this, although not much, but he had seen a lot of life struggles.

"The Elven King?"

"I don't know, maybe dead. After falling asleep, I never saw him again. ”

This was unexpected, if the Elven King died, then what did the Imperial Council rely on to gather the hearts of the people of the Black Yao Empire? Faith?Although Moon had not traveled much, he did not feel the fanatical belief in the moon god in his mother's notes.

"What about you?" Storm asked suddenly.

"Huh, what?" Moon really didn't understand what his father was asking.

"Don't you think that I've been using a stocking method against you so far, and I'm holding a grudge against you?"

"Oh, this. There was a time when I thought so. Moon smiled embarrassedly, "At that time, as I learned about my mother, I felt that you probably hated me. ”

"Now?"

"Naturally, I don't think like that anymore, I was young and ignorant and a little naïve. It's completely unimaginable that if you hold a grudge against a person, you will do your best to break the seal for him. It is impossible to condone the other party to mobilize all the resources available to do some research, and my father must know that it is a lie that the unawakened can break through. Besides, I know that my father takes Hei Yao very seriously, and if you hold a grudge against me, I can't find a reason why you brought troops to Olg to pick me up. ”

"But somewhat, I should be a little disappointed, right? You and your mother's descendant, I, am an unawakened being, this is really—" Moon smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You know when disappointment arises?" Strom interrupted Moon, not giving Moon a chance to answer, and continued, "In the case of expectations." Especially when the target is far from expectations. ”

Although what Storm said was a bit of a twist, Moon was not incomprehensible.

"I don't expect anything from you at all. ”

"Because your mother's wish is that you can live in peace and in peace. ”

"So what I expect from you is just that I want you to live well and do what you love. ”

It has to be said that Stone's words did not cause any negative emotions in Moon, and he knew that his father was not ignoring him and belittling him, but was just a feedback to his mother's wishes.

"But then I found a small problem. Storme brushed her pale hair and continued, "I respected her ideas, but ignored yours. ”

"I indulge you to grow freely, but I invisibly put pressure on you. I didn't explain to you what I expected and what I think, and it was undeniable that it affected your mind. It wasn't until you said to me that you were going to participate in the butterfly transformation that I realized that I hadn't found the right balance, your mother's wishes, and your own thoughts. It was my fault. ”

"Father... I. ”

"Well, so I called you over just to hear your thoughts and plans. I know you've been influenced a lot by those little broken notes from Elisanne, but you've been through quite a bit so far. You should have your own ideas. I want to hear it. Whether you choose to live in peace or do what you want to do, it is your freedom. ”

The room fell silent again. Moon's thoughts gradually shifted from dazed to clear, and Stone, waiting for his answer.

"Father, I... Since my mother left so many things, she left that starry sky. If I have the chance, I would like to go back to the earth, to see the real moon, to feel the land where my ancestors once lived. For the little hope that our mother left us. ”

It didn't seem to surprise him, and Storm just nodded.

"Hmm. I know. Storm picked up the document he was looking at, looked at it again, threw it to Moon, and said, "Then I'll assume that you chose what you wanted to do." After that, you're left to do what you want. ”

"Father... This is?"

"I've helped you before, and there's a list of people who have been to your Relay City, plus some supplies. Some are good at internal affairs, and some are good at leading troops. Whether you use it or not, how you want to use it, that's your business. Storm said something that surprised and made Moon feel both surprised and guilty. The surprise was because he really needed it at the moment, and the guilt naturally thought of his father's previous words.

"But father, you said before that the family is divided when you are entitled..."

"I said? Oh, yes, I did. Storm nodded, "We in the Black family have always had this rule. ”

"However, I remember that I didn't give you a 100th birthday coming-of-age ceremony, and after receiving the title and territory, I didn't say that now you are about to be 101 years old, in fact, according to the rules of our Black family, 101 is a sign of adulthood. These are your adult gifts. ”

"Father... Thank you. "Moon had a lot to say, but in the end, all he could say was thank you.

"Hmm. Storm stood up, "I heard that Tyka doesn't have a rejection of Moonice?"

"Yes, except for the frequency of eating, there are basically no adverse reactions. After that there is a chance, maybe..."

"Well, just keep it in mind. The contradictions between the various classes in the empire have been around for a long time, and although they are helpless, they are difficult to explain and solve after all. ”

"Yes. ”

"By the way, you should pay more attention when you go back.

"Yes, father, pay attention to what?"

"Let's see if it affects fertility, whether it's a flower or a bone dance, there are conditions. ”

"Uh... Father, I'm only 101 years old. There's no hurry, are you?"

"I'm not urging you, I'm just asking you to pay attention. ”

"Okay. ”

"Whether you give birth or not, how many you have, that's your own business. I still don't have a lot of effort to get involved. ”

Moon was a little embarrassed, but he could only listen to his father's words, so he had to turn his back and pinch Luo Xia, who was obviously holding back a smile.

"By the way, there's something. Storm sat back down and continued, "A while ago, I took Tihua's parents and met them. Well, I'm a little used to it, and you pay attention later, people don't call it Tihua. ”

"Ahh ”

"Dialect, people call Tifa. ”

"......" Moon's face twitched a little, and he had always heard it wrong, and called it wrong? At this time, Moon suddenly remembered a paragraph he had seen in his mother's notebook: black fertilizer will volatilize when it is gray, and gray fertilizer will turn black when it is used. It's inexplicable, but it seems to make sense?

"I remember to change it. For Storm, a name is a person's code name, and calling it right is a form of respect.

"Good. ”

"One last thing. ”

You say. ”

"My people have already sent away several groups of intelligence agents, what are you going to do?"

"Father. Speaking of this, Moon came back to his senses from Tihua and Tifa's pronunciation, "After that, I can handle the secrecy of the Quezas Territory myself." It's just that it's still in the construction period at this stage, and it's not okay yet. ”

"Oh? ”

"Yes. My MI9 has used the previous detection technique to create detection glasses, mainly the one that probes the opponent's combat power. Later, it was discovered that in fact, the energy fluctuations of living beings have their own unique laws, and the glasses can also be used to find hidden figures. In addition, there is one of my wilderness walkers who can communicate with all-seeing crows, and can be distributed over my territory to keep watch at all times. And finally, father, do you know Gruba?"

"Brother?"

"No, no, it's Grubal Mullet. ”

"That old thing, isn't it dead yet?" said Storm, with a distinct gesture of disgust.

"Well, yes. Moon was a little curious, he didn't hide the news from Gruba, why did his father seem to know about it just now?

"He's still alive, what's wrong with him?"

"Because of some serendipity, he is now one of my chief elders... I've talked to him that he can help us build some barriers through the plants of the Deep Blue Forest. Both defense and detection can work. ”

"Huh. Well, you're in luck. That old thing is very difficult. Storm smiled again, only this time with a smile of helplessness and mockery.

"I think he's pretty easy to get along with. ”

"Nonsense, that's what you can't do right now. Back then, I couldn't help but be pestered by him. "Stone's facial expression has changed more today than Moon has seen in the past.

"What is it?"

"Can you imagine an old tree hanging behind me all day long, just so that I can show him those Dharma systems that he doesn't know. I can't shake it off, I can't get rid of it, he fights, he is resistant to beating, it's really annoying. ”

In terms of personality, he really looks a bit like Gruba, and Moon naturally knows that his father was also the premier genius among the dark elves back then, and when he was on the ground, he was a great magician who was proficient in the four systems of magic, so he was joking?

It seemed that he didn't want to say more on the topic of Gruba, Storm took the initiative to change the topic, and after the two talked about some things and details that needed to be paid attention to in the construction of the territory, Storm stood up.

"Alright, you can go. The people and things on the documents will be in place in batches within this month. After that, I won't care about you. ”

"Yes, father, and... Thank you. ”

"Well, Luo Xia stays, I have something to say. ”

Moon didn't think much about it, after all, Luo Xia was arranged by Storm to take care of him back then, so he explained to Luo Xia and returned to Jixiang City first.

After saying goodbye to a few acquaintances in Stormwind City, Moon flew back to Jixiang City in the Horned Hippogriff. Seeing Gruba planting himself outside the city, Moon couldn't help but run over.

"Elder. ”

"Elder?"

"Wake up!!!!!"

"Oh, Moon. What's up. ”

"Why did I tell my father about you just now, and he seems to have heard of you for the first time? You have planted yourself here for a long time, and there are still many people from your father who come and go. ”

"Your father?Strom?" Gruba, who was still a little dazed, suddenly sobered up, "Hehe, I didn't tell you? It's just like the literal meaning, awesome. ”

"Awesome, awesome. Moon nodded, smiling strangely.

"Did Storm say anything bad about me?"

"Bad words? My father wasn't that kind of person, and he usually stated the facts. ”

“... Hehe, little one, I suddenly remembered that I had some cute monsters in the south of the forest. Are you going to tell me what Storm said about me?"

"Oh. My father said... There was once a hard-working, studious ancient war tree, who always sparred with him to confirm the theory of magic and make progress together. He misses that time. ”

"Oh, what did he say?"

"yes, did my father lie to me?"

"No, no, no, no. How so. What he said is quite pertinent. It was a good time. Glaba seemed satisfied, and the leaves on his head were shaking.

Instead of making small talk to Gruba, Moon ran all the way to the conference room, looking left and right and seeing Heidi. So I grabbed a random squadron leader who was rummaging through documents.

"Where's Heidi? Well, Frois Heidi. Moon also added Heidi's full name.

"Your Highness, it should be in the school grounds. Follow... The big sister of the bone dance is big together. ”

"Hmm? Bone Dance is back, isn't she in front to help with the transportation of supplies?"

"Well, it's back. ”

Moon looked at the other party's face a little ugly, and felt as if something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

“... Heidi, oh no, Chief of the General Staff ... I was hit by a few people who didn't have long eyes. ”

Moon left the squadron leader behind and hurried towards the underground schoolyard of the city.
