Volume 2 Xuancai Mountains 111: Whose Friend Are You Like?

However, it didn't take long for Fang Nuo to realize that he might have been thinking wrong.

……

The first memory was finished in a short time, and the image in front of him exploded in the beast's field of vision like a broken mirror, and then quickly dissipated into blue points of light, merging into the river of light below.

In the next moment, a new memory unfolded before Fang Nuo's eyes, this time, he saw a man with blond hair covering his eyes and a graceful and luxurious dress.

With just one glance, Fang Nuo could see that the strange existence in the picture was by no means "human".

He guessed that it might be a mutual induction between the orcs, but then he thought of the human form of the Feathered Serpent...... The transformation ability of the beasts that can blend into human society should not be obvious at a glance, if not worth looking at.

Fang Nuo subconsciously paused the current frame, waved his hand to make the blond man's figure enlarge slightly, and then zoomed in again to only accommodate the other party's face.

Who is he?

As such thoughts came to his mind, the image in front of him shrank and coalesced into a small, diamond-shaped crystal in front of him.

It's like a "soul crystal".

Before he could figure out the cause and meaning of the change, more crystals emerged from the blue light around him, as if affected by some force, maintaining an equal interval between them, levitating up and down around him.

Fang Nuo blinked, and inadvertently caught a flash of the image of the strange man in a crystal that had been precipitated later.

He immediately understood the reason why the River of Light had changed so much.

"These ...... Is there a fragment of the infestation of the orc who turned into a human in Mr. Yoi's memory? He made a look of sudden realization, "That's a lot." ”

"Although this human has been a demon beast hunter in the past, he himself ...... 'seems' not to be too repulsive to the beast race."

After using the power of the forest greenstone to kill the black phosphorus viper, Fang Nuo "saw" many things that happened in the dark forest, including the conversations and observations of the people on the way.

At that time, as long as he wanted to continue watching, he would probably be able to record all the stories that had been played out from the birth of the Dark Forest to the present.

It's just that before that, his mind may stagnate first, and his consciousness will be overwhelmed by the currents of thought that come from an unknown number of years and from an unknown number of living beings.

Some episodes, after watching them once, can't leave a deep impression in his mind, so that he needs to think hard in the future to remember what he witnessed before.

However, Fang Nuo had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, that is, as long as he wanted to, he could re-appreciate the fragments of memories that he had browsed but had forgotten by himself.

It's just that he's not mentally ready to do that yet.

Once this idea comes true, it means that the power he has is actually in a higher realm, and he needs to weigh his true level of ability again.

It was already an exaggeration, and in just a few days, the little beast that seemed to have opened up a new world thought, should it be a little more absurd?

Moreover, it was not a false dream, he did have these abilities.

Of course, when using them, except for the ability to construct real things with "malicious value", the rest of the abilities will cause him a certain amount of pain, as if he is making him pay in this form.

"Okay, just let me see." Fang Nuo's limbs stepped on the river of light, and there was also a force that separated them from the points of light that made up the river, making him appear to be hanging in the air all the time, "Who are you?" ”

……

The Caslano Empire was ruled by a royal family with the surname "Yo" for generations, and the courtiers directly under the emperor would call themselves "minions of the empire", and those who were used by those in power would be given the family name "Yo", allowing them to roam the mainland in the name of the royal family and fulfill their mission.

But among the countless "Mr. Yoi" who have stood beside those in power for generations, there is an "exception".

Naturally, he was also given the surname "Yoi", and could call himself "Mr. Yoi" and carry out the will of the rulers of the Kaslano Empire around the world.

However, he never did so, and this was not because he cherished his original name, or because he was contemptuous of the emperor's power and position, but simply because he was highly respected and respected by the people.

He was even able to show his great light at will under the pressure of the emperor, without being feared by those in power.

Not only that, but the "Mr. Night", who holds the highest position and is the emperor, must also "call him a brother" and use his power to continue to consolidate his authority in the empire.

To say why...... Quite simply, because he is not a "human", but a "beast" active in human society.

In the Kaslano Empire, no matter what class of human beings, they are all honored with the power and bloodline of the beast race flowing in their blood.

No matter how low the status of the citizen is, he will look down on the nobles whose blood is inferior to his own because his bloodline is closer to that of the pure-blood beast clan.

Even more arrogant, they will call high-class people who do not reflect the blood of the beast clan "inferior species", but they themselves have a very high nose, and they all put on a high-minded and contemptuous appearance.

Even if he is punished by the nobles for this, he will do his best to shout the purity of his bloodline before he suffers, and uncover the scars of the nobles' "inferior blood" in front of others.

If one were to ask, "What's the point?" ”

The people of the empire will surely answer him in unison: "That's because you don't understand Caslano." ”

This is the case in this country, so when a real "beast" appears in the crowd and climbs to a very high position with his own efforts and strength, he is naturally admired by the people.

The "Mr. Night" that Fang Nuo knew, called the orc "Sling Zheng", using the name of the kingdom of Adriel, and in the Empire, the surname (or "family name") needs to be mentioned at the top of the name.

This "Mr. Zheng" pinched a slightly feminine face for himself, but he was not angry and arrogant when he put on a straight face.

He loves to laugh, but to humans who are not familiar with him, his smile has a kind of gloomy, gloomy, and insincere feeling.

He often half-narrowed the eye that was not covered by bangs, the corners of his mouth on both sides were raised, and a faint smile was pout on it, and then with such an expression he observed the sophistication of the people around him.

In Mr. Yoi's recollections, the human race once summoned up the courage to talk to this "man" of the empire and asked him, "Why do you cover one side of your eye?" ”

Fang Nuo also wanted to ask this strange beast this question.

In the next picture, Sling Zheng generously gives the answer.

The orcs in the picture lifted their excessively long bangs, smiling so that their new friends admired half of their face, which had not been exposed to light for a long time—Fang Nuo saw it with Mr. Yoi's eyes, and the eye he covered was different from the one he was willing to show to others.

black eyes, with white pupils; Eyes with a white background, and black pupils.

On one side, it was like the silver moon shining in the night, and on the other side, it was like the "phantom of another time and space" that Fang Nuo had seen before.

The deep darkness turned into a feeling of anxiety that haunted him, and he couldn't linger anymore.

Without warning and without any basis, Fang Nuo's thoughts suddenly turned in another direction-

He refuted his previous belief that the down-and-out nobleman who caused the war was Mr. Yoi's friend, and realized that this "Sling Zheng" might be the "human" friend that Mr. Yo had not explicitly introduced to him.

"No, no, how could a human of his temperament call a fellow that everyone thinks of as an orc his 'human' friend?" Fang Nuo shook his head, feeling that the sudden speculation in his mind was very nonsensical.

"But ......"

He turned his head sideways and looked at the image of his memory projected from one of the crystals:

The blonde orcs, and the half-disfigured humans, were smiling and talking happily in a shop where the environment was very noisy, and the other humans around them didn't know what they were doing, holding up a liquid cup about the size of their heads.

"If only you were human." Mr. Yoi touched the cup of the other party and sighed with a half-smile and a sigh.

"Don't you think I'm human?" The orcs, who had volunteered to mingle with the new "darlings of nature", asked with a smile.

"Like!" The human raised his arms high, holding the cup of liquid in his hand that had not yet been drunk, but his head was getting lower and lower—like the reaction of a destined person after being begged for by the Yellow Immortals, "You give me the feeling that you are more like a human than a real human being!" Someday ......"

In the picture, Mr. Yoi is lying on the bar in front of him, and the cup falls to the ground as his hand unloads its strength, but it is caught by his companion in time and handed back to another human who looks like the owner of the shop behind the bar.

Mr. Yoi's consciousness did not fall into darkness because the memory fragments were not interrupted here.

"Someday......" Fang Nuo heard the praised orc mutter, "I will no longer witness, I will no longer protect...... I will be free again. ”

"At that point," Fang Nuo said with his trademark smile as he saw the Golden Retriever in the picture, "it doesn't hurt to become a real human, right?" ”

The picture shattered in Fang Nuo's field of vision again, and at the same time, Fang Nuo, who had not yet recovered from the last sentence, suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and he couldn't stop shivering.

Looking back at the possible source of the chill, Fang Nuo vaguely caught a glimpse of a giant deer, but it quickly disappeared without a trace, just like the last time he was seen in the blue light.

The little beast subconsciously set his gaze on the long river composed of pure points of light, and then he saw his own clear reflection from it.

It has a snow-white and slender body, a tail with a blackened end, a pair of small rounded ears and four shorter legs, and ...... eyes that are "like black pearls".

The right eye is black and bright; After experiencing severe pain, the left eye faded its original color, as if it had become a piece of white jade, which also did not lose its brilliance, but how strange it looked.

"You're like a friend of mine." Mr. Yoi said so.

It's not about character, it's not about ability, it's about anything else.

Perhaps, he just saw his own eyes.

From this, I thought of an old friend who had been missing for several years, and thought of the words of the other party that I heard in a trance before I lost consciousness in a certain conversation, "I want to be human".

On the other hand, the one Mr. Xiao mentioned may not be the down-and-out nobleman with the same name as Fang Nuo, but at this point, Fang Nuo is no longer able to find out the answer from his own mouth for the time being.

With a feeling of trepidation, the little beast that has benefited a lot withdraws from the long river of light generated in response to its own abilities and returns to reality.

He took one last look at the outside human who had fallen to the ground, stepped out of his slender legs again, adapted to the "new perspective" he had experienced once, and staggered onto the land that belonged to the Yellow Immortals, walking towards the "home" in his memory.
