hunt and eat

This group of birds seems to have settled down completely in this untended garden in the past ten years. It may not be possible to drive them away in a day or two.

Of course, even so, with his character, he would not have lost his composure in the first place.

Right now, more, maybe it is to cover up a certain emotion in my heart.

After all, the next thing to say is really not a topic that can be finished calmly.

Full Moon looked around curiously, trying to find a place consistent with past memories.

But it is a pity that even as an ancient species with a long lifespan, it is only 15 years old even when the full moon is full. Ten years is really not short for the current it.

So the memory is inevitably blurred.

"We have arrived."

Lorgar's calm and slightly trembling voice suddenly rang in Man Yue's ear.

Slowly raising his head, what caught the mantis' eyes was a female sculpture carved out of unknown milky white rock surrounded by countless wisteria flowers, and a square stone tablet beneath it.

On the platform in front of the stele, there was a bouquet of purple flowers.

Judging by the color and freshness, it should have been placed last night or this morning.

The mantis full moon's gaze inadvertently glanced at a line of small characters in front of the stele.

[May there be stars in the sky and fall asleep with you]

If I remember correctly, the body buried here should be the body of Queen Roanna.

This line of characters was still engraved by it looking at Xiu Yaluo back then.

But why... Lorgar wants to say that Xiu Luo is here?

Full Moon turned her head in bewilderment, and looked at the young man beside her with a pair of jewel-like clear blue eyes.

"Brother Xiu Luo, it's right here."

After speaking so calmly that there was no trace of emotional ups and downs, Lorgar took the initiative to move half of his body away, revealing the things behind him.

It was a child carved with the same material, with a small crown and a little baby fat.

His face is full of joy from the heart, and his two small hands are tightly holding the left hand of the female statue, as if acting like a baby.

"Brother Xiu Luo, it's right here."

Lorgar lowered his head and repeated his words again.

The whole person began to tremble.

Looking at the sculpted face that was almost the same as in memory, Man Yue finally understood the meaning of Lorgar's words.

Almost at the same time, it also saw the barely visible line of small characters under the child's sculpture.

【The moonlight is so beautiful, mother】

Feeling dizzy like dizziness, the full moon staggered and fell backwards.

The uncontrollable sadness, mixed with the disbelief and doubts about the death of the friend, finally converged into a frantic hissing sound, which resounded extremely loudly in this dilapidated garden.

The uncontrollable original power originating from the ancient species of Mantis turned into endless blue flames, gushing out from the gaps in the silver-white carapace of the full moon.

This may not be a strange thing for a female mantis, but it is unprecedented for a male.

Or... a miracle!

According to scholars' research, the relationship between the female and the male of the mantis is somewhat similar to that of the heavy beetle and the beetle. The latter is almost like the former's slave, letting the other party drive it, and even being eaten directly by the other party when necessary , as an energy supply.

Of course, compared to the pheromone control used by heavy beetles, the upper and lower control methods used by the pavilion mantis, whose ecological niche is almost close to that of ancient dragons, are much more mysterious and powerful.

Every male mantis, at the moment when the eggs are formed, will be injected with a special substance that can limit the growth of its own strength by the female mantis as the mother.

Along with their hatching, this special substance will subconsciously make them tend to obey the orders of the mother and other female mantises, and even actively abandon their own lives.

Because of this, the full moon, who had been informed of this by the erudite Xiu Yaluo, would avoid the other side of the female pavilion mantis hiding in the desert, and would not even approach the other party's territory.

The limiter of his own strength is still second, the key is that once he really sees the other party, he may be "bewitched" by the other party in an instant, and eventually become a sad slave who has lost his freedom.

This is the most unbearable thing for the full moon who has always loved freedom.

But all in all, under the combined effect of extreme emotions and some unknown influences, the male mantis full moon has completely broken through the limiter that has been imposed since birth... no, the limiter that has been imposed since birth, and truly liberated himself ancient power.

From today onwards, the full moon has truly become the apex of the crustacean with potential not inferior to the ancient dragon species, the mantis of the pavilion of brilliance.

Looking at the arrogance of the same color as the sapphire eyes of the full moon, Lorgar, who knew the inside story, was stunned for a moment, and then felt more and more sad from the bottom of his heart.

Why did this kind of thing happen after brother Xiu Yaluo died!

Can't he see the moon of the new world? !

He who bears all the crimes and all the stigma, shouldn't end like this!

Clenching his fist tightly, Lorgar's lips were bitten out with bright red blood.

"Can you tell me... what happened?"

A tired voice suddenly sounded from behind Full Moon and Lorgar.

One person and one insect turned around, and saw a young man with long silver-white hair and a handsome face.

But that's not the point, the point is...

His appearance is so similar to the dead Xiu Yaluo!

"There's still time, both of you, let's sit down..."

"Let's have a good chat."

Sighing lightly, Ceperos glanced at the two statues, one large and one small behind him, with a look of loneliness and regret on his face at the same time.

Is this the man who created me?

Sorry to get to know you this way.

……

Chapter 198 Artificial Life Organism - [New Moon] Ceperus

"So, that...did he die when he reached the border because of his serious injuries?"

"Then you brought his body back here for burial."

Ceperos lowered his head in some disappointment, filled with emotion for a moment.

That eldest prince who bears the name of [Mei Yue], does he live for himself for a moment in his life?

Sad... admirable... lamentable!

After a simple self-introduction, the two present were surprised, and they understood each other's identities.

First of all, there is the most conspicuous non-human race among them, Ge Mantis Full Moon, which was hatched and raised by the great prince Xiuaro of the Shurad Kingdom 15 years ago.

Almost five years later, they were released into the wild because of the increasingly obvious body shape, and they agreed to meet again in this church when the full moon can freely hide the body.

Yes, the idea of ​​using armor to hide oneself was provided by Shuaro when we parted.

Of course, size and attention-grabbing are not the real reasons for the big prince to let the full moon return to nature.

According to Lorgar on the side, Xiu Aruo just didn't want human society to overly affect the growth of Full Moon.

After all, it is an ancient mantis, which needs to get in touch with the real natural environment.

After talking about Mantis Full Moon, Lorgar with long purple hair was the first to arrive at the church.

Compared with Full Moon, his story has a lot more twists and turns.

More than 20 years ago, because of the war between the Western Xiuled Kingdom and the Eastern Xiuled Republic, his family was broken and exiled to the royal city. He and several other vagrants who reported to the group to keep warm were adopted by the kind Princess Roanna, and they got to know each other as a matter of course. Abandoned the First Prince Shuara who was still a child at the time.

In the following years, due to the intervention of the Hunter Guild, the dispute between the two countries was forced to "voluntarily" end.

Besides Lorgar, the other vagrants, led by the oldest child, declined the concubine's persuasion and embarked on the road to return to their hometown.

Lorgar still remembers what the big dark-skinned boy said when he bid farewell to the princess.

"We must go back, because those lives lost in the war need someone to remember."

Although he admired that guy very much, and other companions persuaded him, Lorgar finally chose to stay.

Before the war broke out, he was an orphan with no fixed place to live, and he really had no affection for his so-called hometown.

At least, no one has ever treated him so well like Wang Hao and Xiu Yaluo.

After that, a few years later, Lorgar learned of his life experience from Xiu Luo for the first time through the power of bondage that was accidentally awakened.

He was originally born in the ancient village where he could form a bond with monsters, and even gave birth to a new profession of "rider", but for some reason, he ended up living here.

In order to be able to help Brother Xiu Luo whom he admired, Lorgar offered for the first time to go to the village in the most remote corner of the mainland to learn the power of bondage.

Three years later, Lorgar, who had returned from his studies, heard the sad news that the princess had died of illness, and saw Xiu Luo again, who had grown into a handsome young man.

"I want to fulfill my mother's wish, can you help me, Lorgar?"

Facing Xiu'aruo's request, Lorgar had nothing to say.

However, in the second year, due to the previous war and the more serious class antagonism, the conflict between the Hunter's Guild and the kingdom caused the two's plans to be completely disrupted.

"I can't go on like this anymore. I don't know what the Great Elder is hesitating about, but even if it's forced, I have to let the guild make a choice."

"Compared to the ancient system of the kingdom, and those nobles immersed in false glory, hunters and guilds are the future of mankind."

On that day, Xiu Yaluo stood on the wall, facing the sunset, and said this to Lorgar.

It was also from that day that the originally gentle Xiu Yaluo disappeared completely.

Instead, the "Mad Prince" who has completely turned into a hawk from words and deeds to demeanor.

Of course, in the eyes of most nobles, this is just a little extreme of His Royal Highness the eldest prince.

As everyone knows, in the near future, the bloody butcher knife that buried them has been accomplished.

And as Xiu Luo's most trusted person, Lorgar also quietly disappeared from everyone's sight, and three years later, he became the personal bodyguard of an illegitimate son of the royal family who was living among the people.

After that, whether it was the operation to lure the crabs or the bloody massacre of nobles in Wangcheng, he participated in the whole process.

It can be said that apart from the dead eldest prince Xiu Yaluo, he is the second chief culprit, who may go to the guillotine at any time, a complete sinner.

It's just that before Xiu Yaluo died, he took all the blame for his crimes. For some reason, the guild turned a blind eye to people like Lorgar.

Lorgar doesn't need to talk about the latter things.

But he didn't know why, instead of deliberately concealing it, he told it in detail, from beginning to end, so that the eyes of Full Moon and Seperos looking at him were full of various complex emotions .

It is difficult for you to define whether this person is good or bad, and different positions will also determine how others see him.

At least for those common people in the royal city who were once oppressed by the nobles, he was considered a good person.

But for those innocent lives who died in the Crab Attack City, he... a hundred deaths will not redeem him.

Really ironic.

After learning about the situation of Full Moon and Lorgar, Ceperus also told a more bizarre story.

"I don't have parents, no...not the orphan you think."

"I'm an artificial lifeform code-named [New Moon] created from scratch by [Li Mingqing] Bo Duoerdo."

As soon as Ceperos opened his mouth, one person and one worm beside him were stunned.

Although what he was talking about was bizarre, looking at Ceperos's face full of emotion and loneliness, after Man Yue and Lorgar looked at each other in unison, there was no doubt anymore.

Such a person will not lie.

"Well, even though the lord has said that I'm just a test subject, and clearly told me that I won't live to be 20 years old, I'm still very grateful to him."

"After all, he never restricted my freedom, and gave me [Authentic] when I left."

"Without him, I wouldn't even be in this world."

Ceperos' calm expression, as if he was talking about "what's for dinner tonight", made the full moon beside him even have an illusion that the sound and picture were out of sync.

Why can you say such things so calmly?

"Why can you say such a thing so calmly?!"

Fortunately, although Man Yue couldn't speak human words, Lorgar on the side still spoke in time.

Shrugging his shoulders, Ceperos rubbed his cold palms, "I was always weak and sick when I was a child. To be honest, when the adult told me that I might not live to be 20 years old, I even felt like I was getting a big deal. Woolen cloth."
