Rules for raising elves [Interstellar Apocalypse]

When night falls, the stars return to the sky, like a string of bright diamonds.

The fishing boats cruised quietly and slowly along the moat outside the bustling capital, as if they were in two different worlds from the colorful city.

No one would have thought that the two precious females that caused a storm in the city would be hiding here, because even if you can enjoy the beautiful night view of Seagard, it cannot change the fact that its environment is very harsh.

They were caught by fishing nets hanging out to dry, but they were also smelled of fish.

The owner of this fishing boat must be extremely sloppy! Because there were some messy cargo and unpacked tools everywhere on the deck, they searched for a long time before they found a clean oilcloth behind a box.

Alice curled up into a ball and tried her best to prevent those stains from getting to her.

As soon as she recovered from the dangerous and exciting escape, she couldn't help but notice the stench all over her body. Her face and hair, which she carefully maintained every day, were still stained with clumps of dust. She had spent all her money. It took self-control not to scream.

Summer nights in Haigard are not very cold, but when the night wind blows over your skin, it still feels cold.

"drink water?"

Sia took out a water glass from her backpack and handed it to Alice.

All I can say is that it is a water cup that can be brought into the rose garden. It has excellent thermal insulation effect and the water inside is now hot.

Alice didn't like drinking hot water, but on this difficult night, when the heat flowed down her throat again, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of contentment.

The elf took out another piece of bread from the bag, broke it in half, kept the smaller piece for himself, and gave the larger piece to Alice.

Miss Goldfish devoured her food.

They hadn't eaten much since morning, and they were very hungry after spending so much energy.

Normally, Alice would never allow herself to be so rude, but now she no longer cares about maintaining the image of a noble lady.

But as she ate, she began to cry again.

"Woo...it's so dirty here...I'm scared..." She didn't dare to make a loud sound. She whimpered like a little animal. She couldn't tell whether it was grievance or fear.

Even though Hilko comes from a third-rate family, as a precious female, she rarely becomes so helpless and downtrodden when she grows up.

Sharing the same space with those dirty goods, drinking ordinary water and chewing hard bread.

The elf didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only pat her back gently, just like Leo patted her many times.

"But Alice was very brave today, wasn't she? Like a real sister! Without Alice, I definitely wouldn't have been able to go this far."

The sobbing stopped, and the messy-haired Miss Goldfish looked at her with red eyes that were still watery: "Am I really... like a sister? I have always wanted to be a good sister... but I am too cowardly. , I failed to protect Tammy..."

The night is always easy to break down those fragile hearts, leaving nothing to hide from the hard armor you put up during the day.

Sia didn't know who Tammy was, but she knew that he must be someone very important to Alice.

"It wasn't before, but now Alice is already a great sister! Tammy will definitely be happy for you if she finds out!" Sia said sincerely.

She pulled up the oilcloth on the side to block the night wind, then took off the woolen hat on her head and put it on Miss Goldfish's head.

White pom-poms hung on the side of her face. Alice's eyelids were red and her nose was red from crying, and she looked at her inexplicably.

The elf smiled and praised: "Alice is so beautiful."

The cub's praise is always so sincere, making the person being praised feel warm in his heart.

Alice's face also turned red.

She doesn't have a gorgeous dress or exquisite makeup now, but Sia's compliment is sincere.

She touched her hot cheek, hugged the smaller cub, and said warmly: "Go to sleep, Sia, we will be there at dawn tomorrow."

Shia leaned against her meekly and nodded. This feeling of being relied on gave Alice great strength.

"It's going to be okay, everything is going to be okay." She repeated, as if she was telling the cub, but also as if she was telling herself.

-

The dock was very busy in the early morning, and no one noticed two petite shadows passing by.

They covered their heads with clothes and walked through the crowd until they reached the depths of the alley.

The busy people thought they were just two naughty cubs, and those who were accidentally hit turned around and cursed twice. Who would connect them with the two "lost" females?

That's right, even though only one night had passed, the news of the loss of the precious and perfectly evolved female cub had already made everyone in Haigard know.

The Gene Tower was attacked by terrorists not long ago, and now the same thing happened to a building in the Empire's most important rose garden, and two precious females were lost! This quickly raised public panic to an unprecedented level.

A large number of fanatics have taken to the streets holding signs to denounce the inaction of the parliament, which has made the core area of ​​the empire full of loopholes. The personal safety of residents has been greatly threatened, so they must come out and give an explanation!

This is very rare in Haigard.

In the current Galactic Empire, 20% of the famous families constitute the upper class, but they control 80% of the lifeblood of the empire.

Although the people who can live in the core area are not simple people, there are more than a dozen planets in the entire area. Caesar Star is the only capital star, and Haigard is also the capital of the capital star.

The residents of Haigard can no longer be regarded as civilians. They are elites from all walks of life and form the core cogs in the operation of the empire.

So many people going on strike and marching in the streets is tantamount to setting Parliament on fire.

"The McCarthy family has always been in charge of the rose garden, and the guardian of that precious female is also the McCarthy family. The McCarthy family must be fully responsible for this riot!" Tirpinov slapped the table, wishing he could Pay back all the anger I received before!

Farina's face was ashen, but she couldn't refute.

Who would have thought that a female cub that has not yet reached adulthood could blatantly disappear into a heavily protected rose garden? !

Mo Xili is still severing contact with him because of the Gene Tower matter, and refuses to use the troops of the Third Army to assist him in his search, which is nothing more than adding fuel to the fire.

The entire Imperial Council smelled like a fallen tree, and all the former followers of Farina were silent.

The Speaker of the Parliament, who had always favored him, had a dark face at the moment, and obviously had no intention of siding with him, because this had obviously shaken the foundation and interests of the Parliament, and no one here could benefit from it.

"Eraion is right, this is indeed the full responsibility of the McCarthy family. Leave the follow-up processing of this incident to the Elaion family, and you use the escorts to search with all your strength! This little female must be given to me. Get Ochi back!"

The Speaker of the Parliament was furious, but Tirpinov was delighted.

It seemed that the temple was still taking action, and the situation was back in his hands.

"With the glory of the empire, I promise you that the Elaon family will definitely complete the mission successfully." Tirpinov was full of confidence.

-

"Are you...are you okay? Xia...Xia?" Alice asked breathlessly.

Shia nodded. She was obviously not as good as the delicate and frail Alice because she exercised a lot. She still had time to look up and look at the surrounding buildings.

This pier, far away from the bustling center of Seagard, was a somewhat shabby town, which quite surprised her.

These crowded residential buildings with mottled walls and dirty and narrow corridors are completely different from those broad roads covered with flowers.

Noticing her gaze, Alice slowed down, straightened up on her knees, and said, "Do you feel a little surprised? The heart of the empire is not always a prosperous place."

"Every year, many people want to come to Haigard to make a difference, and many families fall from glory to decline. Those who are unwilling to leave will move to these places."

Alice shrugged: "Who made this a 'slum' where rents and prices are relatively low?"

"If they don't have money, why don't they leave? Go somewhere else." Sia asked.

"Other places? Are you talking about moving out of Caesar Star?" Alice smiled sarcastically, but her smile was a little bitter: "But they are used to that kind of prosperity, how can they accept that they can live a civilian life again? "

"Even if you grit your teeth, bow to others, and do some cheap work, in their eyes, it is far better than being expelled from Caesar Star."

"As long as you stay in Seagard for one day, there is always hope of living a human life again, isn't it?"

"That's strange," the elf said honestly.

"What else can we do? Oh...forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's just think about how to get to Anska Prison."

The terminals all have positioning functions, but none of them brought them with them. They could only bring out a paper map in a hurry.

Laying the map on the ground and looking at the densely intertwined lines, Alice fell into a rare silence.

Although it was embarrassing to say this, she didn't know how to read a map.

Like all the noble ladies in the empire, she had never learned how to read a map.

They spend most of their time at home, and have servants to take care of them when they go out. They themselves have never had the intention to learn such things.

She only felt as if her throat was blocked, and she felt extremely embarrassed.

"I...I...can't understand..."

It's much harder to admit that you can't do something than to boast about a hundred things you can do.

She just wanted to be a powerful sister, but was defeated by a small map.

"Let me take a look." Sia knelt down, looked at the map carefully for a while, and pointed to a place on the map.

"We are here now! The town of Seti." She struggled to identify these uncommon words, and then drew them to the side: "We have to go east first, through the town, and then go north here. Walk...through the no-man's land in the suburbs..."

"Well... in terms of distance..." She looked at the scale, thought about the conversion method Caleb taught her, and counted on her hands: "It's about a hundred miles away!"

Shia was happy, it meant she was getting closer to Caleb and the others.

But this was like a bolt from the blue to the neglected goldfish girl.

Her lips trembled, her eyes widened, and she repeated in disbelief: "One...a hundred miles?!"
