I turned to the eight stenographers and said, "Later, you will go to rest with the butler, and I will look for you in the afternoon." Remember, you can't just go out of the room without my orders, you know?"

"Your Excellency understands. "The expressions of these guys are very flat, and it can be seen that their psychological quality is good, it seems that the Beast Emperor has really put a lot of effort into cultivating them.

I saw that the servants and ladies around me were still staring at me in a daze, and suddenly said angrily: "What are you looking at here, what should you do?" ”

Everyone suddenly fell to their knees at the same time, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the third young master for his ascension." ”

I couldn't help but be angry and funny, these orcs, all of them were small people, and when they saw that I was gaining power, they immediately slapped my ass. "All right, get up, and disperse. I waved my hand impatiently and turned to leave the courtyard first.

After eating something casually, I didn't rest for a moment, and when I came to the large room arranged by the butler, the eight people sent by the Beast Emperor immediately got up and saluted as soon as they saw me coming in.

This room is really big, about seventy pings, on both sides are beds for them to rest, and there is a large table in front of each bed, on which are placed paper and pens, I don't know if they asked for it themselves, or the housekeeper prepared it.

I glanced at them and said, "Due to the urgency of time, the task for everyone today will be heavier, since you are all shorthand masters, I will speak very quickly later, you take turns to record, and the things recorded are definitely not allowed to be passed on, otherwise, don't blame me for being polite." If you have asked the servants in the house, you should know what kind of person I am. Today's task is for each of you to complete one of them. In order, you, the first, after the record, tidy it up yourself. "I called out a werewolf. The werewolf calmly ran to his desk and said, "Your Highness, you can start talking." ”

I pulled over a chair and sat down, thought for a moment and said, "I remember clearly, the title of the book is "Mainland Military Apocalypse", the content is divided into ten volumes, sixty-six chapters, the first volume of the first chapter...... "I began to let these shorthand masters record what I memorized, and I was surprised to find that their hands were very fast, which made me improve the speed of recitation again and again.

I spent the whole afternoon in this big house.

Evening. I stretched and said, "It's time to eat, let's stop here today, you've all behaved very well, much more than I expected." Originally, I wanted to make eight books, but I didn't expect your shorthand skills to be so good, and you overfulfilled the task, and I will speak for you in front of Your Majesty. ”

I was so excited to complete the record of sixteen books, and I praised people for the first time.

The eight shorthand notes were not excited by my excitement, but just stood up calmly and saluted me: "Your Highness Xie promoted." "A wave of tiredness hits, after all, after a day of brain, it's too tiring.

"Rest early, and tell your subordinates what you want to eat. "Out of the stenographer's house, I went straight to my mother's bedroom. As soon as I arrived at the door, I happened to meet the maid who came out of it. Seeing me, the maid hurriedly saluted: "Third young master." ”

"Has my mother eaten?"

"Just eaten. ”

"Let's go down. I pushed the door open and walked into my mother's room. Mother was sitting in a chair looking at the two gems I gave her, in a daze.

"Mother, I'm coming. ”

My mother looked up at me, and her face was much better than yesterday, with a hint of rosy. "How are you feeling today?"

The mother looked at the two gems with some intoxication: "It's much better than before." These two stones are really magical, especially turquoise, I have only heard that it can absorb the essence of nature, convert the force of nature into vitality, and provide it to those who are close to it and need it, but I didn't expect it to be so magical. With this bloodstone, after only one day's work, I actually felt much better than before. ”

It was the first time my mother had spoken so much to me, and it seemed that there was real hope in her heart for resurrection. I smiled and said, "This is all the Duke's heart for you, of course it works." ”

Mother's gaze shifted from the gem to my face, and the look in her eyes was rather strange, and indifference took over most of it.

She sneered at me and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're trying to use me as a bargaining chip to join the Dragon God Empire, are you?" ”

Intense anger welled up from me, and I slammed my palm on the table, and the hard rosewood table turned to powder under my djinn palm. The originally dim light was disturbed by the air currents and flickered.

Mother was not at all intimidated by my might, but raised her head and said, "Why, did I tell you about your sore spot? ”

I took a deep breath and tried to calm my agitation, I was afraid that if I continued like this, it would cause me to go berserk.

"Mother, it doesn't matter if you insult my personality, but you can't insult my feelings for you. Yes, the Duke was very kind to me, and was ready to marry my daughter, but I never forgot that I was born into an orc family, and although I was a half-breed and a hybrid in most people's population, I didn't care. I want to prove by my actions that I am the strongest. ”

I wiped a handful of tears that had unconsciously flowed, and continued: "Yes, I admit it, I like the life of the Dragon God Empire very much, there are simple folk customs, wise rule, and the people I love, they are all beckoning to me, if I want to stay there, I don't need you to be my stepping stone at all." Do you know? I didn't even tell the Duke that I was your son. Because, I don't know, in your eyes, I am not your flesh and blood. But what I want to tell you is that it is Leo the king of Beamon who rapes you, and it is he and his concubines who persecute you. What does this have to do with me, and why do you hate me all along?"

When my mother heard this, her whole body trembled, and she yelled at me excitedly: "Although you are not that animal, you are his seed after all, and your birth has brought me all shame." ”

My expression calmed down, and I mourned more than I died, and I no longer had any illusions about my mother.

I said lightly: "Since you think so, then I won't say more, this time I return to the orcs, the biggest purpose is to help the beast emperor unify the whole clan, so that the entire orc clan gradually become stronger, maybe you don't know, the beast emperor has recognized me as a righteous son, if I want to please the Duke of the dragon god, will I do this? In a few days, I will leave here to do what I have to do." Take care of yourself at home, and if you still want to see Lin Feng again, then please take care of yourself, and when I think you can, I will naturally send you back. Finally, I would like to say that I, like you, also hate Leo because, it is because of him that the grandmother who loved me the most is gone. Sending you back to the Dragon God Empire is just to fulfill the dream of you and the duke, lovers, and I don't have any other purpose. You rest early, I'm gone. ”

I returned to my room in a depressed mood, and without any rest, I immediately began to practice the Heavenly Magic, and only dark magic could calm me down.

Early in the morning, I went to the palace with the sixteen books that I had recorded yesterday, and before I could open my mouth at the gate of the palace, the guards immediately dodged their bodies and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please." ”

I was surprised and asked, "Why, don't you need to pass it through?"

The head of the guard said humbly: "No need, Your Majesty ordered, as long as His Royal Highness comes to meet him in the future, he will be released, and His Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study." ”

"Oh? "Is the Beast Emperor really not suspicious of me?

"Son-in-law Lei Xiang asked to see. ”

"Come in. ”

I stepped into the study, and there was only one Beast Emperor in the room, and he seemed to be reviewing the recitals.

"Father, you came to me, I don't know why?"

The Beast Emperor smiled: "It's okay, our father and son should also meet often and communicate more, are you still satisfied with the person I sent yesterday?"

I nodded and said, "Very satisfied, they are all first-class shorthand masters, you see, this is our result yesterday." With that, I handed over the notebook.

The Beast Emperor said happily: "Don't be so anxious, you just returned to China, why don't you rest more." ”

I scratched my head and said, "There are too many things waiting for me to do, so it's better to finish it as soon as possible." ”

The Beast Emperor casually flipped through those records, his face changed, and after a long time, he closed the file and said with a long sigh: "No wonder the dragon god is so powerful, the theories in these records are indeed unheard of. Lei Xiang, you have really made a great contribution this time, okay, I will ask someone to start using these things as teaching materials for training later. ”

He also said that I was in a hurry, and he was no worse than me at all. "By the way, it's too inconvenient for you to work at home, I'm looking for you and I'm going to call someone to announce it, so let's move to the palace, and we can discuss anything." After a pause, the Beast Emperor said again. Let me move into the palace, isn't this a bird in a cage? I said euphemistically: "Father, forget it, I'm used to being wild, and it's easy to break the rules of the palace when I move in." ”

The Beast Emperor smiled slightly and said, "Don't be afraid, I don't want you to follow so many rules, so it's okay." By the way, since you have a conflict with your father's concubine, then bring your mother in as well, I have good things here, absolutely satisfying your mother and son, so that you can avoid unnecessary conflicts in the future. ”

Hearing him say that, my heart pounded. Indeed, once the war on the front line is over, as soon as Lei Hu comes back and finds that his mother died in my hands, don't you fight with me? With my father protecting him, I can't do anything to him, although I am not afraid, but if he plots against his mother, it will be more than worth the loss, anyway, I will not stay in the capital for a few days and will have to go to suppress the bandits, I can't be locked up here, and my mother can be better recuperated here, why not do it.

Thinking of this, I muttered: "Since this is the case, the minister will thank his father first." ”

The Beast Emperor laughed and said, "What else do our father and son say thank you for, I'll ask someone to go back with you later, you can move all the things you need, and don't forget to bring your group of shorthand back, why didn't I think of it yesterday, and let you toss it again." ”

I respectfully said, "Father, don't say that, kill your son." ”

The Beast Emperor said, "There's nothing else to do, you move first today, and continue to record those things tomorrow." "Yes, the retainers are retired. ”

I returned to the palace with a group of palace guards, in fact, I have nothing to move, I have all the usual supplies in the palace, and they are better than the original, as long as I take the black dragon to pack a few clothes.

I went to my mother's dormitory, took a deep breath, and decided that no matter how much she scolded me later, I would persuade her to enter the palace with me.

"Mother, I'm coming. ”

Unexpectedly, the mother responded: "Well, sit down." ”

I said flatly, "I'm here to let you move." ”

The mother smiled sadly and said, "I don't have a home, how can I talk about moving." Say, where do you want me to go. ”

Seeing my mother's pain, I felt uncomfortable: "That's the case, in order to make it more convenient for me to work, the Beast Emperor decided to let me live in the palace, and at the same time asked you to go with me, after all, I just killed Lei Hu's mother, so as to avoid some unnecessary trouble." My mother looked up and saw that my eyes were no longer so cold, and she smiled and said, "Silly boy, you have been fooled." I didn't hear her say anything at all, only the smile she had just had in my eyes. Although my mother has gray hair and wrinkles on her face, she looks very old, but she can still vaguely see her demeanor from the smile just now.

"What do you say?"

The mother smiled slightly again and said, "I just said, silly boy, you were fooled. ”

She called me silly boy, and she called me so affectionately, and I secretly pinched my thigh, and the sharp pain told me that it wasn't a dream.

I asked stupidly, "Why do you say I was fooled?"

The mother said indifferently: "Isn't this still unclear? People are afraid that you will not work hard, so they specially invited me over, if there is any change in you, then ...... You're a smart man, don't you need to tell me?"

Mother's words suddenly woke me up from my dream, yes, after all, I am not the biological son of the Beast Emperor, why do people trust me so much, and let me bring my mother into the palace, it turns out that this is the purpose.

I scratched my head and said, "So that's the case, why didn't I think of it, then you better not go, I'll tell the Beast Emperor to go." ”

Mother snorted coldly and said, "No, I will enter the palace with you, if I don't go with you, even if you say the great heavens, people may not believe it, maybe, they will take action against you immediately." ”

"Isn't it safe for you to enter the palace?"

The mother smiled bitterly and said, "Nothing is safe, am I safe here?" It is safe to enter the palace at least for the time being. Son, Jiang is still old and spicy, if there is anything you don't understand in the future, you have to ask me more, after all, I was also a talented girl in Tiandu Academy back then. ”

Son, she even called me son. Tears burst out of my eyes, and I fell to my knees with a thud, crying bitterly: "Mother, you, are you finally willing to recognize me?"

Mother's eyes were also red, she put her hand on my head, and said kindly for the first time: "Child, I figured it out last night, you are right, what is wrong with you, it is only him who is wrong, I should not be angry with you, for so many years, my mother has wronged you." In the future, my mother will definitely compensate you. ”

After listening to my mother's words, I lay on her knees and cried like a child, and the depression in my heart was fully vented in the crying. Mother's tears kept dripping on my head, and her hands were so warm, so warm. Mother's love, the thing I wanted most, came just when I thought there was no hope.

After a long time, the crying stopped, I suddenly raised my head, wiped the tears on my mother's face, and said firmly: "Mother, I swear to you, even if I fight for my life, I will help you fulfill your wish, I will never see you shed tears of pain and humiliation again, I want you to be the happiest mother in the world." ”

My mother held my arms, and tears flowed down again: "Good boy, get up quickly, help my mother clean up, let's go to the palace." As soon as I entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and I didn't know if I would have a chance to come out again. ”

I stood up, put my arm around my mother, and said, "Don't worry. The palace can't trap us, I plan to make the orc kingdom strong in three years, and today, three years later, when we leave, no one can stop it. ”

"Okay, without further ado, have you packed your own things?"

I nodded and said, "I'm done, I think, you should be like me, in this house, what can we take with us?" To be honest, I really don't want to take anything with me if I don't want to go out naked. ”

Mother didn't speak, but carefully took the two gems I had given her into her bosom and said, "All right, let's go." ”

Seeing that she didn't take anything, I couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Don't you bring a change of clothes?"

Mother smiled and shook her head, "Now that the Beast Emperor can use you, he can still treat me badly, let's go." "Although this is only a small matter, I can still see that the mother who has restored hope is still above me.

When I got out of my mother's room, I called the housekeeper and said, "I will not come back for the time being, and when my father returns, you will tell me the truth about my murder of the ugly woman." ”

"Yes, Third Young Master. ”

"Mother, let's go. "I carefully put my mother in the car, rode the black dragon myself, and walked out of the palace of Beamon, I looked back at this place where I had lived for more than ten years, and I felt like I never wanted to go in again. Maybe coming out of here is a relief for me and my mother.

In the palace, the Beast Emperor had already ordered someone to arrange a place for us to live, it was a separate courtyard, only four maids served, and the guards were all on the periphery, the environment was quiet and elegant, and there were many kinds of plants planted.

My mother smiled at me and said in a low voice: "It seems that your use value in the eyes of the Beast Emperor is really not small, in the Orc Clan, even a real prince may not have your treatment." ”

"Wouldn't it be better for me to give him my life? But it's okay, it's better for you to recuperate in this environment. By the way, Mother, I have never asked you, have you ever studied magic or martial arts in Tiandu Academy before?"

While looking at the surrounding environment, my mother shook her head and said: "No, I mainly studied literature, history and etiquette in Tiandu Academy, Lin Feng should have told you that I was the princess of the empire at that time, what is the use of learning those things that fight and kill." If I have a strong kung fu, how can I ...... Alas......" I rejoiced, "You haven't studied." That's great. ”

Mother was surprised and said, "What's so good about this, it's just that you have an extra burden." ”

"Don't say that, what I said is good because you haven't learned any martial arts or magic, and I won't be afraid of conflict if I use magic to heal you. ”

"Magic healing? Do you still have light magic? I don't look like it. ”

I smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll find out later." Well, you don't need to serve here, so let's all go down. ”

I always felt awkward about the maids standing around, and who knew if they were here to spy on us.

Seeing that the maids had all gone down, I silently used the Heavenly Magic Technique, and after making sure that there was no one around, I whispered: "Mother, what I know is not light magic, but dark magic. ”

It's actually dark magic, but I don't want my mother to know that I'm going to become a fallen angel, so I deliberately say it's dark magic. My mother looked at me in amazement and said, "Dark magic?"

"Yes, there are also many restoration techniques for dark magic, and in your current situation, it may be more useful, and I learned it by accident. Whether it is effective or not, I will teach you some more cultivation methods of Dou Qi, you practice every day, it will help to run Qi and blood, and I will definitely use the shortest time to make your body recover. ”

The mother smiled kindly and said, "Let everything be fate, I'll just listen to your arrangement." ”

"Time is pressing, I won't be able to stay here with you for a while, so let's start now. I took my mother into the room, sat her cross-legged, and said, "Whatever discomfort you may have, you must bear with it." I'll be in control. The mother closed her eyes and said, "Come on." Let me see how powerful my son's dark magic is. ”

Due to nervousness, I sweated slightly on my forehead, and killing people with magic and vindictiveness was what I was best at, but it was the first time I saved someone, and this time it was my mother who was saved, which made me not be cautious.

I took a deep breath, calmed my emotions, and chanted, "At the cost of my life, at the expense of my soul, great god of darkness, as your servant, I beg you, grant me the dark power of your salvation." ”

This is the fourth level of dark recovery magic - Dark Cultivation. The Heavenly Demon Recipe says that this magic can restore all abnormal states and adjust the physical condition. It's also my first time using it, so I'm very careful. A purple-black ball of energy was concentrated in my hand, and I divided a small part and slowly entered my mother's body, observing her condition.

My mother's whole body trembled and her face turned pale, and I hurriedly put my other hand on top of her head to check the condition inside her. The mother's meridians were very fragile, and even such a small amount of magical energy was very difficult to run in her body. The magic of Dark Cultivation is really good, although it runs slowly, but I found that every time it runs a meridian, it will repair this meridian like an ordinary person, so that the meridian expands and increases the elasticity of the meridian, so that it is not easy to break.

I withdrew the rest of the dark magic, put my hands on my mother's vest, and pushed this small part of the energy into my mother's body to run slowly, and when I had done a hundred things, I carefully withdrew this part of the energy back into my body. After finishing the work, I realized that it was already dark. Just like when I first practiced the Mad Divine Technique, there was a lot of black juice oozing out of my mother's body, and the smell was ......

Not long after I finished my work, my mother let out a sigh of relief: "Ah, it's so comfortable. ”

I hurriedly asked, "How do you feel?"

The mother opened her eyes and moved her hands, exclaiming, "Oh, it's uncomfortable to die." ”

Her exclamation really startled me, and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The mother said, "Don't worry, I'm not unwell, but look at this dirty, what's going on?"

Hearing her say this, I calmed down and explained, "It's nothing, it's normal, some of the toxins accumulated in your body have been forced out by magic, and it will be fine with a bath." ”

"Oh. ”

I shouted, "Someone." ”

With the sound of footsteps, two maids ran in, although the smell in the room was overwhelming, but they did not react, and said respectfully: "What does Your Highness command?"

I looked at my mother's embarrassed appearance and laughed, "You should serve my mother to take a bath, and then prepare something to eat, and make up for it." ”

A maid took two steps forward and said, "Hot water is ready-made, ma'am, let's take care of you." ”

My mother got out of bed by herself and said, "Don't hold me, I haven't felt so comfortable for a long time, it turns out that my chest is always clogged, but now it's much better." ”

I smiled and said, "This is just the beginning, I will have to treat you a few more times, but your current meridians are still relatively fragile, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand it, let's talk about it later." ”

"It's been so many years, I'm not in a hurry, take me to the bath, it's sticky and uncomfortable. "Probably because of the untying of the two knots of the Duke and me one after another, my mother was much more cheerful.

When my mother finished bathing, I found that her original pale face was gone, replaced by a rosy one, even wrinkles seemed to be much less, and her thin body seemed to be stronger.

This night, I slept extra soundly. The next day, I began a busy life, completing a certain number of books with those shorthand writers every day, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the Beast Emperor, I selected the candidates who set off with me and the candidates of the Beast God Envoy, and assisted the Beast Emperor in training them.

Half a month later......

"Tell my father, my son has completely translated what he carried from the Dragon God Empire, time is tight, I want to set off to suppress the bandits as soon as possible. "Standing in the imperial study, I report to the Beast Emperor.

"Okay, I've basically scanned all the things you translated, and they're all very useful, how many people are you going to take with you when you go out this time?"

I smiled slightly and said, "Just take the twenty people I chose, haven't you already rewarded them to me as guards?"

The Beast Emperor said in surprise: "Just take a few people with you, it's too few." You also know the number of bandits. ”

I replied confidently, "Although there are many bandits, most of them are rabble. Besides, there are very few large groups of bandits, they are all separate, and we just need to break them individually. If you encounter a large group of bandits that I can't handle, I can still ask you for help. ”

The Beast Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, but you must be careful. You must know that it is impossible for you to use local manpower in this operation, everything must be on your own, and if there is danger, even if I send troops over, I am afraid that it will be far from quenching the thirst of the near, so you must be extra careful. You get ready, and you'll be on your way in three days. ”

I knelt down and kowtowed, "My son obeys." "It's finally time to start my killing journey, and no matter what, I'm going to wipe out all the bandits and rid the orcs of these tumors.

My mother is practicing the Sucha Dou Qi that I taught her in the courtyard, this kind of Dou Qi is not very powerful, but it is very conducive to recuperation, and it is the most useful for my mother, I finally selected it from the many Dou Qi.

These days, my mother's physical condition has made a qualitative leap compared with before, her face is ruddy and shiny, her skin has also recovered a certain elastic surname, and she no longer looks so old.

After more than ten days of getting along, the distance between me and my mother is constantly developing, and her meticulous care for me has touched me deeply, and I finally realized what real maternal love is.

I would discuss everything with my mother before deciding, and I admired her wisdom and wisdom. When the mother heard the footsteps, she slowly collected her skills, closed her eyes and said, "Xiang'er, are you back?"

"Yes, mother, why don't you practice?"

The mother opened her eyes and smiled: "Cultivation is not an overnight effort, gradual progress is the best way, and if you are too hasty, it is easy to go mad." This is something you have to keep in mind. ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, I'll keep that in mind." ”

Mother stood up and said, "Let's go back to our room and talk." "Maybe it's because I'm leaving, my mother always has a sad look on her face. When I entered the room, my mother motioned for me to sit down: "Have you decided on a date?"

"Yes, the Beast Emperor ordered me to leave in three days. I decided to take the twenty guards with me. ”

Mother nodded and said, "That's fine, it's more convenient to do things with fewer people." However, you have to be safe, be cautious, and give it your all even against very weak opponents. ”

"I understand the truth of the lion fighting the rabbit, don't worry. I'll go and prepare first, and I'll give you the exercise tomorrow. ”

"Go ahead. I'm fine myself, these days, I seem to be rejuvenated, and it seems that there is still hope for me to return to my original appearance. ”

"Mother, then I'm leaving. ”
