Chapter Twenty-Eight: "Retreat"

"Okay, I'll go. Still, Dad, I'm more worried about Legus now. Now that the Guardian already knows that Lantern Ke is not Legus, he will definitely find a way to find the real Legus and kill him. Daddy, why did the keeper do that, why didn't you stop him?" the boy became, the more angry he became.

Tuno narrowed his eyes, "Legus was born with extraordinary abilities, but not like me and you. On the day he was born, all the stars stopped, and Guern, who was also born on that day, lost all his mana and became an ordinary child. The defender was so annoyed by this that he sent men to kill Legus on land that day. But he was stopped by the island king, and after that, he endured it and never moved. Your mother and I were afraid that something would happen to Legus, so we came up with such a plan to hide Legus, and found a child from the land who was very close to his age as a stand-in, so that everyone thought that he was Legus, and even you and I had to say it recently. But now the Guardians are back in action. Nato actually spread the news that this was an order from the king of the island, which was so stupid! It was simply too stupid! Everyone could see that it was made up by the keeper himself. The island king tried his best to protect Legus, how could he want to kill him? It must be the guardian who pretended to pass on his orders to get rid of Legus. ”

"Dad, but Gwen doesn't have any mana, he can draw star maps, and he can also predict the future, how can the keeper blame Legus?"

"Those were all learned from the book by the Keeper, and the Keeper had long thought that one day he would let Guen take my place as the Celestial Emissary, and kill Legus, who was supposed to be the Nakshatra Emissary. So, I deliberately gave way to Guen, hoping that the defenders could let Legus go, after all, Legus was innocent and would not pose any threat to him now. Tuno gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Father, do you think that by doing so, the Keeper will let Legus go?" the boy asked.

"I don't know, but I can't think of any more reason for him to have to kill Legus. Even if he still had this thought, he would definitely not be able to find Legus, so there was no need to worry. Tuno said with a confident smile.

"But Daddy, why don't you stop the Keeper?Why don't you take the initiative and always dodge passively?Keeper he treats us like this, why do you pass the position to his son so that he can succeed?," the boy looked at his father expectantly, hoping to get a different answer.

"The Keeper will be punished one day, and we won't have to deal with him. The island king is just, and he will give us justice. Besides, we have much more important things to do, so why not make his son a messenger of the stars? Children, take a long-term view, and believe that the great island king will lead us to the dreamy white world. Tuno reverently pressed his hand to his chest and closed his eyes.

The young man looked at his father suspiciously, and muttered in a low voice:

"What if the order to kill Legus was really given by the Island King?"

"Nonsense!" said Tuno. "Do not blaspheme the King of the Island, he is the most noble and holy God, the brightest star in the sky, he is always protecting and blessing us, or he would not have entrusted us with such an important matter. He would never do that. You must apologize to the Island King, kid. ”

The boy realized his mistake, he fell to one knee, closed his eyes and meditated in his heart, then he bowed to the northeast sky a few times before he stood up and meditated for a while before opening his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted the Island King. The boy bowed his head in shame.

"Alright, child, the Island King will forgive you. Tuno patted the boy on the shoulder. "Now, go ahead and carry out your mission. ”

"But Dad, what are you going to do next? You're no longer a Star Emissary, are you still staying here?" the boy looked worried. Tuno was relaxed.

"Next, of course, I'm going to stay in the well and do what our ancestors didn't do. However, I will tell the keepers and attendants that they want to go back to Lengshan to enjoy their old age in peace, and they will not doubt it. ”

"What about me?" the boy asked immediately.

"If you stay here, report to me immediately, so that I can keep abreast of the latest developments. ”

"Well, Dad, be careful. I went to the mine. The boy turned around and was about to leave, but quickly turned around.

"Dad, I don't know how to find him?"

"He's in the injury room of the North Mine, you can just ask the Forbidden Bundle. ”

"Okay, I'll go, Daddy. The boy bowed and exited the door.

Tuno straightened his clothes, and walked to the chamber of the waiter, and after some courtesy, he asked the waiter:

"Have the demons all subsided?"

"Oh. The waiter hurriedly replied, "Yes, the Guardian has led his troops to repel them, and has captured many prisoners of war, and this time we can be said to have won a great victory." It's a pity that the Starry Sky Hall was badly damaged in the battle, and it will take some time to repair. ”

"These haunting demons! they are always attacking right under our noses, I don't know what so many of our guards are doing!" "Now the progress of the construction of the temple of Ulla will be delayed again, and the great god Ula does not know when and when he will be born. ”

"Why should the Star Messenger bother. Let's recruit more people, and the Starry Sky Hall will be built soon, at the same time as the Ula Temple, so as not to delay the progress at all. O great god Ullah, will still come on time. With that, he bowed reverently in the direction of the temple of Ulla.

"It turns out that the waiter has already thought about it. However, now that this land is not as good as it was back then, many people have paid attention to this, and it may not be so easy to recruit a large number of people. Tuno shook his head helplessly.

"Don't you know, Star Emissary, although it is not easy to recruit a large number of people on land, you can still recruit some, plus there are some half-grown boys in the depression who have just reached the age of participating in the construction, as long as they are fully utilized. The temple will definitely be built in half a year. The waiter's eyes were firm and confident.

"Hahaha, it's still the waiter's thoughtfulness. Just, sir, don't make fun of my old man. I'm no longer a messenger of the stars, so call me Tuno. Tuno said with a hearty smile.

"Then let's call you Tuno-senpai. You are older than me and the Keeper, and although you are no longer in power, there are many things to ask you. The waiter humbly arched his hand.

"Don't dare, don't dare. Speaking of which, I would like to discuss one thing with you, my lord. Tuno turned to the waiter.

"Oh, what's the matter? The waiter listened.

"I have been a messenger of the stars for thirteen years, sitting every day to observe the stars, laying stones and laying out formations, removing dangers and difficulties for our great cause, and opening the way. Now that he is old, the star robe has retired, his body is getting tired, his spirit is malaise, and his condition is not as good as it was back then. Therefore, I want to lead Xiao'er back to Lengshan to spend his old age in peace, and I don't ask about this god sending ghosts, and ask the waiter to answer. As he spoke, Tuno fell to his knees before the attendant.

The waiter frowned, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Senior, please get up!" he grabbed Tuno, but Tuno refused to get up like a rock.

"If the adults don't allow it, Tuno won't get up. "Tuno has made up his mind.

"Seniors, please think again. The waiter folded his wrists and bowed in front of Tuno. "Although Gwen has officially succeeded the Star Messenger, he is very young and his ability has yet to be improved, and he is not up to the position of power. Besides, now that the demons are in turmoil frequently, the chaos of yesterday has not been straightened out, and the devil's spies are still being speculated and interrogated, in such a turbulent time, do you want to just leave us alone and walk away?"

"Your Excellency, the waiter's words are wrong. The power of you and the Guardian is more than enough to deal with those demons. Tuno doesn't usually be of much help, let alone now. As for Gern, though he is young, he is not below me. As you know, he has read a lot of books on astrology since he was a child, and he has read some of the astrological aspects more thoroughly than I do. Although I am inferior in experience, I have compiled the names and signs that I have recorded daily for thirteen years into a book, "The Book of Star Divination", which I gave him yesterday at the time of the succession ceremony. With his ingenuity and the dots in the book, I believe there is really no need for me to stay here. With that, Tuno bowed even lower.

The waiter was speechless for a while, "Okay, now that you've made up your mind." Then I won't force you to keep you. It's just that Mugulan is still very young, and it's a pity to live in seclusion. I hope he can stay and be my retinue, I don't know if you want to. The waiter picked up Tuno, who pondered for a moment.

"Originally, I didn't want to take him back, just because he was not yet an adult, and I couldn't worry about being left here without anyone to take care of him. Since the waiter is willing to keep him by his side, then I will not refuse, and I am relieved to hand him over to you. ”

"Being able to gain the trust of his predecessors, Zimudan died without regrets. I wonder when the seniors will leave?" the waiter asked.

"If I have asked the keeper and he agrees, I will leave early tomorrow morning. ”

"Why are the seniors in such a hurry, it's not too late to stay here for a little longer and then leave. The waiter insisted on keeping it.

"You don't know, I've been away from Lengshan for more than 50 years, and it's the so-called homesickness, and now I can't wait to return to my hometown to reunite with Lan'er and his mother. Lord Waiter, you will be perfected as an old man. Tuno looked at the waiter with tears in his eyes, and the waiter couldn't force him to stay, so he hurriedly said:

"Then I wish my seniors a safe journey and return home as soon as possible. But I don't know if the keeper can agree, so go and ask him. ”
