Chapter 613 Only the Happy Can Understand (5600, second update)

The soft female voice is like a gentle woman apologizing to her child's friends for her child's adventure.

It was clearly the voice of the King of the Hill.It seems that what Xiou said is indeed correct. Recently, he is a mother who wants to raise a boy.

True dragons and goblins are really handy creatures.

【It can be me】

Ian thought of this, and then faced the real dragon's inquiry, and responded with rather strange words: [It depends on your Majesty if you need it]

【unnecessary】

A soft female voice with a smile: [It was the hard work of the Huaiguang Rescue Team that rescued my child Xiou, there will be no second explanation]

[Anyway, thank you. 】

Turning his head, the King of the Mountain looked at the other side—the Dragon Cult, or the team of the Mountain People had already arrived. They were staying by the side, waiting for Xiou to wake up, but now the King of the Mountain has arrived , They naturally came here in fear, knelt down and bowed their heads to pay respects to the king.

Ian even saw a few familiar figures, except for Pansha, the heir of Elder Manya, there were several mountain people who he had seen ascending from the mountain people.

But now is not the time to say hello.

"King, we..." Pansha, the leader, swallowed before he dared to speak, but was interrupted halfway through.

【It's not your fault, it's Feiyan who plotted against us. They are plotting secretly, we can only deal with it】

Although the King of the Mountain did not reprimand on the surface, but comforted them, he did not let them get up either.

Although it was indeed a sneak attack and assassination, the Dragon Worship Cult did not respond very well, especially until the end, it was Ian and the Huaiguang rescue team who rushed into the subspace maze to rescue Xiou, and they were first attacked by a group of phantom troops and The monster blocked it, and then ran around again after being disturbed by the aftermath of the fourth-level powerhouse's battle.

Without them, Ian and others will definitely encounter more enemies and slow down the speed, which cannot be said that they have no effect, but in general...

It's time to push.

At this moment, Redeeming Light and Reflecting Light also took out the crystal prism that stored Xiou's soul.

"Mom... Mother..."

Xiou had already awakened when the King of the Mountain arrived just now, but the little dragon who was a little afraid of his mother's scolding did not dare to show up - but this time he couldn't show up, so he was brought out by Redeeming Light.

【Wait until I get home】

The King of the Mountain gave Xiou's soul crystal a hard look - if he was an ordinary person, he would definitely think that this meant 'I'll deal with you when I get home'.

But maybe Ian is more familiar with dragons, or people with awkward personalities, he can only hear the meaning of "go home and have a good rest, don't force yourself to talk to me now".

It's a pity that Xiou is obviously a dragon, but he doesn't understand dragons like Ian.

He obviously misunderstood the previous meaning, so he didn't dare to say more after making a whimper.

——The problem of the family of origin is indeed the main cause of 85% of the world’s problems, and communication that cannot understand each other accounts for the remaining 15%
Ian thought so.

Xiou's soul crystal was retrieved by the King of the Mountain with the wind and swallowed into his mouth. Then, the King of the Mountain also asked the Dragon Worship team to stand up.

【You guys will go back with the Huaiguang Rescue Team and follow their command】

The real dragon gave such an order, and the team of the Dragon Worship Cult naturally obeyed.

The King of the Hill didn't stay around for long after that either.

He was very worried about whether Xio's soul was poisoned by Flame and other researchers in the Avak laboratory, so he just took off and left, ignoring Grand Duke Sorin, Mikhail and Moser from the beginning to the end. Looking at these three powerhouses of the fourth energy level from the sidelines, he simply regarded them as nothing.

Besides Mikael, these three fourth-level powerhouses didn't want to cause trouble, and had a good argument with the king of the mountain, why their partner Fei Yandi would set up a scheme to kidnap Siou.

Although theoretically speaking, it was Xiou who took the initiative to attack Flameland's old lair in the western territory of Sorin... But who told you that Flameland is also making trouble in the Baisen Mountains?For the fourth energy level, don't expect to be able to reason, this kind of thing is not clear, you can only fight with fists - and King Tianhong of Feiyandi has already left the stage, why do they have to take over for no reason? Get off this beam?

The turmoil caused by the coming of the dragon quickly subsided.After announcing that they had accepted the jurisdiction of the Huaiguang Rescue Team, the Dragon Worshiping Team began to set up camps in the surrounding area in an orderly manner, while Pansha and the others, apart from a grateful look, also pretended not to know Ian look like.

Theoretically speaking, the important people who should know know about Ian's relationship with the Dragon Worship Cult, but it's better not to show any flaws on the surface.

In addition, Pansha observed the attitude of the rescue team and the attitude of the king of the mountain, and thought that the Huaiguang rescue team was the rescuer Ian found.

Although it is slightly different, it is actually true that Pansha's ability to perceive words and emotions is indeed quite powerful.

Moreover, without the Huaiguang Rescue Team, Ian would have to spend a lot of effort just to conceal his identity.

It is precisely because of this ability that although Pansha and Ian did not speak, they have a tacit understanding.

After Ian patted Adalbert on the shoulder, said his name, and asked him to return to the team, the gray-haired, golden-eyed researcher was at a loss.

After that, Pansha, who had reacted, strode forward, gave Yadbert a big hug, and then said loudly, "Welcome back to the team, brother!" ', the dead king with gray hair and golden eyes was completely confused.

"Thank you, knight."

"You're welcome, stranger."

During the time when Ian and Pansha were having an encrypted call, Adbert naturally integrated into the team of the Dragon Blessing.

Under Ian's gesture, Pansha personally took the dead king, a researcher who didn't dare to say a word, to prepare the camp, as if they were close partners who had known each other for more than ten years, and the young man was very fond of Yadber. Special help eyes turned a blind eye.

- Me, what am I going to do next? !

——Just stay there and wait for the Dragon Sect to take you to Nanling, which is my hometown.Don't worry, I will contact you.

After that, Ian entered the stronghold together with the Huaiguang clergyman and his party.

"I didn't expect to see you here."

When Sister Reflecting Light saw Ian, she felt a little suspicious.She once again felt a strange sense of familiarity, but she couldn't grasp this feeling... Her talent is extremely good, otherwise she would not be valued by the mentor of Redemption, and she was brought all the way from the surrounding area of ​​the holy mountain to cultivate.

But relying on feeling alone, it is impossible to find out the common ground between Knight of the Valley and Ian—no kidding, it’s not those special people, or Ian himself took the initiative to expose the relevant flaws. For most people, it's perfect.

"After all, I am a patrolling knight, and I always have to perform tasks."

Ian replied with a smile, and Adbert, who was still observing this direction, widened his eyes again.

——Ian is still a patrolling knight? !Even if the most dangerous place is the safest place, is this too dangerous?

And what kind of genius does it take to be a patrol knight and a laboratory, or a second-level sublimator? !
Ian noticed the look in Adalbert's eyes, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

—Surprised now?In the future, you will be surprised!
Ian asked again about the recent situation of the dragon nun—but the answer was quite surprising.

After the incident in Lai'an Territory, Sister Yingguang chose to station in Lai'an Territory, and joined hands with the mountain people to take charge of the security of Lai'an City and surrounding areas. After all, Baron Lai'an is dead, and all kinds of monsters are still raging. Biological warfare was only partly contained, but not completely quelled.

Without the armed force of the second-level nobles stationed there, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to deal with all kinds of ferocious monster attacks.

Sister Yingguang actually felt very strenuous if she was on her own. Therefore, after considering and deciding by Archbishop Tianyan of Nauman City, because this incident was exposed and resolved by the Huaiguang Church, the Huaiguang Church will also be involved in Laiguang. Anling is responsible for the safety of this place during the time when there is no lord.

In other words, Sister Yingguang, and even the good pair of Huijian and Redemption Light, are likely to be permanently stationed in Lai'an!

"What the hell, they also know that I'm going to become the lord over there in Laian?"

It can't be a coincidence at all, Ian doesn't even need to think about it, he knows that this is the so-called "witness" of the Huaiguang Church.

This is not to observe yourself up close, Ian eats his sword directly
Apart from Yingguang's acquaintance, Lübeck, who should be called the 'Red Blade' now, also shook hands with Ian happily.

"Viscount Grant and Elder Purdue will be very happy."

He noticed that Ian perfectly controlled his strength around the high level of the first energy level through the secret technique of the Dragon Blessing.Can't help but praise: "No accident, next year you will be able to advance to the second energy level, surpassing me and Elder Pude... When I first met you back then, you were so young, I didn't expect that eight or nine years would pass , but you have to go higher than us."

To be honest, Ian still remembers the first time he met Lübeck. It was also the first time he formally met with Viscount Grant—the red-haired mountain man who was determined to revenge looked as thin as a ghost, and the gloomy and depressed Temperament is even stranger.

But now?Today's Red Blade has a resolute expression, a strong and powerful figure, and the expression in the pair of green eyes is no longer gloomy, but similar to Huijian, a kind of majestic justice from the heart.

Not to mention the way you talk and behave... The old Lübeck would definitely be a "good boy, you have become so awesome. When you were a little bit old, I really didn't expect you to be what you are today!" 'This kind of mercenary cliché full of market style, how can it be as polite as it is now?
Therefore, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

——The Huaiguang Church... really turned ghosts into people.

Although it may be involved in some relatively taboo methods, after seeing the Dead King and the Dead River Armed Forces, as well as the various operations he will make in the future, Ian will no longer feel the methods of the Huaiguang Church. scared.

At most it is the death of a newborn, what is there to fear?Not crazy at all, even gentle.

This teenager has lived in Terra for 16 years, and this is what happened to his brain.jpg
After saying hello to his acquaintances, Ian tried to use the internal communication system of the Patrol Knights to contact Hua An Mofeng, Tres and others... the results were all busy.

This is not surprising. After all, when Mikhail and King Tianhong fought, the scene was too chaotic. Everyone was looking for a place of refuge. Now the battle is not over yet, and the King of the Mountain is coming again. Wave after wave, no one can relax.

That being the case, Ian was not in a hurry, he simply stayed at the stronghold of the Huaiguang Church, ready to take a good rest.

After such a fierce subspace exploration battle, he is really a little tired... The power of the dead king is quite heavy. If it weren't for his real strength, which is double the second energy level and the extreme domain, like The first energy level like Yadbert may have many sequelae.

At the beginning, Ian wanted to send Adbert to the Huaiguang Church, but he wanted the Huaiguang Church to help see if there were any sequelae that needed to be resolved. Money is not a problem. A researcher at the level of Adbert It is really rare in the world.

As for now...it is nothing more than one more procedure to send the Dragon Worshiper to the Huaiguang Church.

Adbert didn't know that he had been scheduled to be sent to a professional medical institution for recuperation, and Ian had already recorded the matter in the memo, and then lay on the blanket prepared by the rescue team, looking at the wood grain on the ceiling, Slowly close your eyes.

He needed a real break to relieve the mental exhaustion caused by many prophetic omens.

Relieve the overly excited and worried heart because of seeing the future direction.

Before that, though.

Ian heard his inner voice again.

【king? 】

It came from the depths of his heart, lodged in Ian's body, and recognized his dead king... the voices of dead souls.

"what happened?"

Ian's figure appeared in his soul world. In front of him was a group of shadowy white dead souls. The souls surrounded the young man. Instead of feeling afraid, he felt a burst of warmth.

With the completion of revenge and the fulfillment of Ian's promise to the dead souls, they have completely regarded Ian as their king, so they have always stayed in his body and served the "dead king" all the time.

This is the contract.

【king】

A woman's hazy voice emerges, it is the former carpenter woman, her voice is a little hurried, but it becomes gentle under the deliberate suppression: 【You have fulfilled our wish... Although the real culprit Grand Duke Sorin, Flying Flame Land and Lingzhi Academy have not paid the price we want, but we also know...all this is not realistic]

【We... don't understand, Prisoner Star Prison, or some other disaster.This is too far, too far, we can't understand these things...]

【It is enough for you to kill Viscount Avak and the host of this laboratory—so now, it is our turn to fulfill your wish】

【Your Majesty...we...or, we souls who still have our own souls, want to know】

【We want to know, your real wish】

At this moment, the group of souls stared at Ian.

The resentment in the hearts of these ghosts who died in the Avak laboratory has subsided a lot... They didn't even think about seeking revenge from Grand Duke Thorin from the beginning, because it was absolutely impossible, and thinking seemed wasteful own resentment.

Besides, their direct enemies are all Gnostic Academy, and those souls who regard Fei Yandi and Grand Duke Sorin as enemies are all in Yadbert's place.

So, they are satisfied now - the Avak laboratory completely collapsed, Grand Duke Sorin did not complete his plan, and everyone in the laboratory of the Institute of Gnosis was beheaded by Ian.

Now it's time for them to fulfill their vows.

——They hope that their existence can help them.

No one can ignore such a sincere emotion.

"He will pay the price. Grand Duke Thorin is also waiting for the day when he will pay the price, and I will be his retribution."

Ian looked around the souls and felt this sincere heart.

He was silent for a while, and then said softly: "As for my real wish... Actually, I have already said it, haven't I?"

In the face of these souls who entrust their existence to themselves, the young man has no need to lie.

Therefore, Ian raised his head and stared at the high vault of his soul space: "I just want to have a world that is always strange, always fresh, and always has room for advancement... It may be a bit embarrassing to say it, but to put it bluntly, I am A man who is terrified of an 'end'."

"Obviously there is nothing in the bowl, and when you see that there is nothing in the pot, you will panic. If you haven't finished a book, you will feel scared when you realize that there are not many pages left."

"A planet is so big, not to mention the whole of Terra, I haven't even visited the empire, but I feel desperate because of the Prisoner Star Hell five light-years away...Sometimes, I also feel strange. Think, what am I worrying about?"

"What am I afraid of? Why am I in such a hurry? Why am I desperately trying to win a chance to travel far away?"

Closing his eyes, feeling the sight of the group of souls, Ian let out a deep breath and said frankly: "No. Actually, I didn't try my best at all."

"I just do what I want to do, it's not called desperate, I didn't really think about it from the beginning to the end, because to me, this is the meaning of my life. You will ask why you eat black bread Is it? Because there is only black bread, there are no stars in this world, so I can only look for it."

"Dead souls, I don't beg you to understand me, because I am an abnormal person. I am not an ordinary person who can be understood by you, but a lunatic who can be called crazy... I just want to go to Gao In the sky, there is no need for any reason, no need for any emotion, just like a person looking up at the stars does not need to be overwhelmed."

When talking about this, Ian even laughed: "Because the stars are there, why do I need reasons and feelings to look up at the stars? This question is too silly."

"Since there are no stars in the sky, I will take it back."

【We don't understand... the king】

The dead souls responded blankly: [But we want to understand, king.We can understand the sincerity of this feeling...]

【We... want to understand you】

"Thank you."

And Ian smiled and stretched out his hand to touch those souls.

It feels cold, but not scary.

Touching his 'people', he said seriously: "Of course you don't understand. It's not your fault, it's mine."

"There are still many people suffering in this world. They are worried about tomorrow's breakfast, their children's future, and the next year's harvest. Don't talk about the ending of human beings after thousands of years, let alone the high sky and starry sky far away, and those Prisoner Star Prison... They can't even predict how the world will change in a few years, how could they care about such things, how could they understand?"

"It's like you, who were all working hard to live, but died inexplicably because of the conflict between the empire and Flame Land... you died in a daze, and you died at a loss."

"In such a world, no one wants to look up at the sky, because the sun is dazzling, because there is work in hand, because of making money to support the family, because tomorrow is uncertain, because going to the sky is really boring."

After a pause, the young man said in a young voice: "That is not romantic at all, but a vast emptiness, endless nothingness."

"You are right, you are living down-to-earth. Why do you have to understand me?"

Saying this, Ian seemed to be speaking to the group of souls, and also said to himself: "Inaika II was too anxious about many things, and there were many things he did wrong...but there is only one thing, I think it is Exactly."

His tone gradually became firm: "We must let the people acquire knowledge...and let you live a happy and worry-free life."

"In this way, you will become alchemists, stargazers, sublimators,... people who can think about things that will happen hundreds of years later, and people who are boring enough to look at the stars."

"My people... only you are happy."

"Only by becoming a person who can understand the desire in my heart."
