“Protection?”

Lier was somewhat dazed.

In fact, since she left X35, this was the first person to offer her protection. In the past, although she was nominally under the protection of space pirates, she actually relied on herself. It had been a long time since Lier had felt protected by someone. Apart from Blood瞳, no one was willing to protect her, let alone an entire force.

Of course, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Whether the Mota clan's protection would be effective was another matter. After all, Lier now carried too many secrets. And Crodir's power was enough to arouse everyone's greed.

“If you're worried that we can't do it, then there's no need to be.” The bandaged man opposite her smiled slightly, as if he could see through Lier's thoughts. “Below the Third World, we can guarantee your safety, so you'll easily find that neither the Aierde nor the Gustav are reasons for you to worry anymore.”

“The Mota clan is that strong?” Singer asked in surprise from the side.

“Not strong, but secretive.” The bandaged man glanced at Singer. “You have to know that in this universe, no matter how powerful a force is, it has weaknesses. But secrets are different. Secrets have no weaknesses, so secrets are the greatest. The Mota clan's secrets are something even the Aierde fear.”

“What is it?” Singer asked curiously.

“If I could tell you, it wouldn't be a secret.” The bandaged man narrowed his eyes and replied softly.

His figure was somewhat blurry, but the bandaged body exuded a strange meaning, making people feel that he himself was a kind of secret.

Lier silently looked at him for a while before saying in a low voice, “I need time to consider.”

“You don't have much time.” The bandaged man bowed slightly. “I believe I don't need to tell you how eager some people in the Third World are now. The relic incident seven years ago was too stimulating for them. Originally, because it involved balance and restraint, they all maintained the greatest restraint, otherwise, how could the Ice Blue Star Region have stopped their progress?”

“However, things are different now. In another two months, it will be the day of the Rite. The chains of restraint can no longer hold back ambition and greed. If you don't accept our protection, then you, including your kingdom and companions, will be in a dangerous situation.”

“Day of the Rite?” Lier sensitively noticed the term and couldn't help but ask softly, “What is that?”

“It's the day the Second World opens. It's also a bridge for communication between the Third World and the Second World once every ten years,” the bandaged man replied.

“I believe that for many people, you, or your kingdom, are excellent sacrifices.”

“…………”

Lier couldn't help but gasp, and her heart suddenly rose.

She was no longer a newbie who had just left X35. Of course, she knew the horror of the Second World. Because although the universe is divided into seven civilization levels, only those above level three are truly advanced existences. Each level of improvement at this stage means a world of difference.

The Second World is a place that too many forces and civilizations need to look up to, but can never reach.

It's about to open?

Lier felt a little dizzy, but her face was still calm, and she turned her gaze to the last shadow.

It was a shadow like a cloud of mist, not even in the shape of a human. But strangely, he was clearly standing here, but he gave people the feeling that he didn't exist at all. It was unspeakably strange.

“You are……”

“Clay. Mist.”

The mist swayed slightly, emitting a few simple syllables. It gave people the feeling of being rude and not good at communication.

But of course, Lier wouldn't despise him because of his rudeness. Instead, she showed a solemn expression. “What is your purpose?”

“Same, him, same.” The mist wriggled, separating a wisp and pointing to the Mota envoy. He spoke with difficulty.

“Protection.”

“You also want to protect me?” Lier couldn't help but frown slightly. What was going on today? In the past, people couldn't wait to stay away from her, either hostile or threatening, or coveting and greedy. But today, two people suddenly came to offer protection. This was really too strange.

Could it be that she had some kind of backstage?

Lier was puzzled for a while, but she still said calmly, “You heard it, the Mota clan has already offered me protection. Then can you tell me, what's the difference between you and him?”

“No, same.” The mist continued to wriggle. It seemed to be a little faster. A few more syllables popped out. “He, protect.

“I, kill.”

“What he means is, they disdain being bodyguards. If you have any enemies, you can say it directly, and they will destroy them for you.” The bandaged man next to him suddenly laughed. “You may not be familiar with the Clay clan, but it doesn't matter. You just need to remember that they are the most dangerous race in the Third World. Including us. We don't want to be their enemies either.”

Such a powerful race?

Lier couldn't help but be surprised. She quietly stared at the blurry mist. After a long time, she said in a deep voice, “If my enemies are the Aierde or the Gustav?”

“One, month.”

“He said, give him a month to guarantee that the Aierde and Gustav will not dare to provoke you again.” The bandaged shadow continued to explain. At the end, he suddenly winked slyly at the mist.

“What if it's our Mota clan?”

The newest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

“You. Secrets. Many.”

“No, fight.”

The bandaged man laughed. He seemed very satisfied with the mist's performance. Then he turned to Lier and said.

“The Clay clan is very dangerous. Of course, they are also very powerful. As an envoy, I suggest you accept their protection. Although this kind of protection may have hidden dangers in the long run, it can also give you security in the shortest amount of time.”

“What about you?” Lier asked unexpectedly. She didn't expect the Mota clan envoy to say this.

“As for us, of course, we also hope you accept it.” The bandaged man laughed. “Who said you can only accept the protection of one clan?”

“The Clay clan's troubles are exactly what our clan is best at solving. So if you can accept the protection of both of our clans at the same time, then in the Third World, you can really walk sideways.”

“Of course, including your kingdom and companions.”

“…………“

Silence, a long silence.

The communication basically came to an end here. Lier gained two unimaginable invitations. At the same time, a faint unease surged up.

She didn't know why these two powerful races would make such invitations, but she could feel the thick fog behind these two protections.

Is it for the Day of the Rite?

Or is it for her mutant kingdom?

Or is it the secret of the relic seven years ago?

Lier couldn't get an answer. So she took the most direct approach.

“Tell me, what do I have to pay.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation..)
