Marshal is always tired [Interstellar]

What happened to Fu Ze was very simple and bloody, and Ian felt in a trance that he had returned to the era when he sat alone in the palace and watched those idol dramas.

The special thing lies in the identity of this man - the mythical beast Xuanwu.

Daphne had already jumped off the mech and stood beside her lover.Their companions all know about them, and this large section of background is actually just introduced to Ian and Qin Jue.

Ian frowned: "You said, the gods and beasts are not allowed to intermarry with foreigners?"

After getting an affirmative answer, he seemed a little hesitant: "Uh... Don't be angry if I say something, there is always a reason for the existence of family rules, right? For example, the inheritance of your Xuanwu clan's bloodline, your life expectancy...etc. Wait, wait, it's really hard to say who did the wrong thing."

Ian said it tactfully, but in fact, he actually disapproved of Fuze's behavior.

As the crown prince of the empire, he has received the most orthodox education since he was a child, and he has been instilled with theories based on the overall situation. After learning how rare the blood of the beast race is, it is difficult for him to stand up to the private couple. The side of the little lover who gave and accepted.

Daphne hurriedly explained: "No...interracial marriage will not...will not affect the blood of offspring." She blushed, but she still tried to speak clearly, "After we beast cultivators become humans, the body structure They are no different from human beings, so the so-called divine animal bloodlines are just...just..."

Fuze took over the words: "It's just determined by the energy infusion of the baby's direct blood relatives when it is born. As long as I cultivate to level nine or above when I have offspring, my child can become a completely pure blood Xuanwu."

He sighed: "There is indeed a reason for the family rules...but it is only due to the arrogance of the so-called beasts. They insist that accepting foreign races is a self-willed and depraved behavior, because only the four gods and beasts in the universe can be created. God's favor."

Ian: "...racism?"

"Almost," Fuze smiled wryly, "Although the Four Cities of God and Beast seem to respect equality on the surface, the sense of superiority in the people's mind is deeply rooted... They just need the ordinary beast cultivators who have an advantage in population to consolidate their rule. In fact, they fundamentally resist any real contact with any non-divine beasts under the guise of blood."

Ian touched his chin: In this case, the situation is different again.

Fuze glanced at Daphne, and said bitterly: "Actually, I didn't know this at first... The elders sealed the situation, taught the juniors in the name of inheritance, and tried to restrain us under their control with a sense of responsibility and mission." .”

Qin Jue suddenly interjected, "You have discovered your own background, haven't you?"

Fuze was startled, he suddenly raised his head to look at the expressionless Qin Jue, he couldn't figure out how the other party knew the deepest secret he had hidden.

The other people in the team were also stunned. They were all friends who grew up together, but they didn't seem to know what Qin Jue said.

They turned their gazes back to their friend who had stabilized their expressions a little bit, and faintly realized: Is this what Fuze decided to tell them just now?

"...Yes," Fuze was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a sigh of relief as if letting go of some burden, "You... how did you know?"

Qin Jue shook his head: "There is still a difference between you and the real orthodox, but..." He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Whether this difference is good or bad is unknown, your talent is better than many of the orthodox in the clan. Young people, right? With the development of science and technology, the research on heterosis...cough, heterosis should be very popular."

Although it is a proper noun, Qin Jue couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he said it. Fortunately, Fu Ze didn't seem to care about that unpleasant title, and just stood there looking thoughtful.

Ian blinked his eyes: "You mean...your parents were also...interracial marriages?"

Fuze smiled wryly, but he didn't mean to hide it: "That's right, my mother is a real Xuanwu clan, and my father...he is a human being."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Jue and Yi En were mentally prepared, and his group of original friends, except for Daphne, were almost blown up.

"Uncle is human?! God, we never knew!"

"Boss, you hide it so deeply! Thanks to your high talent... No wonder the elder always looks so subtle when he looks at you!"

Fuze waved his hand to stop their noise: "I just found out about this not too long ago, and I just haven't found the right time to tell you guys."

He really didn't mean to hide it - his friends were never the kind of superficial and snobbish people, let alone they were all human beings, and he had the same blood as them, so everyone should feel closer to each other.

He simply said everything: "You know, I haven't seen him since I was a child... My father and mother are often not in the clan, so I told Daphne about the last time my mother came home. she."

Everyone listened quietly, Daphne held Fuze's hand with firm eyes.

"My mother's reaction at the time was very strange. Just when I was most uneasy, she suddenly started telling me about the events of the year... Before that, she didn't even show me the video record of my father. I always thought that they were related. not good……"

Su Yu couldn't help asking: "Then uncle...?"

Fuze shook his head, with a powerless sadness in his eyes: "He is no longer here."

There was silence for a while, and everyone didn't know what to say.

Although I had vaguely expected it before, the pain of losing a loved one cannot be soothed by a few innocuous words of comfort—even if Fu Ze never met his father once when he was a child, it would not change the slightest change that gave him life fact of the man.

Fuze clenched his fists: "But he died under the siege of the clan elders!"

Everyone was shocked, with a look of horror on their faces.

"How is it possible!" Mo Ke exclaimed, "Although intermarriage with foreigners is not allowed, how can it be a capital offense!"

Fuze gritted his teeth and said: "Regardless of whether there are omissions in the family rules or not, it is the way it is, and it should not be violated before changes are made. My mother said that she has recognized her mistakes and is willing to take responsibility for them—but That should never be at the price of father's life!"

Ian's face was solemn: "This is the fault of the elders in the clan. How does your clan regulate this kind of behavior?"

Fuze took a deep breath and forcibly restrained his excitement: "The clan's regulations on this aspect are actually not particularly strict. After all, blood inheritance is not easy, and no one wants to cause harm to the clan for such a trivial reason-intermarriage with a foreign clan. The only punishment is to guard the border for 100 years, which my mother has now done."

Ian was taken aback: "Just like that?"

"that is it."

Qin Jue and Yi En looked at each other, both feeling incredible.

Before they saw Sander's group pressing Fuze step by step, and Fuze later narrated a past involving human life, and thought how strict the beast group was against violations, but it turned out that it was only 100 years The distribution frontier?

You know, the lifespan of these divine beasts is tens of thousands, and the Xuanwu family has the longest lifespan among them. A mere hundred years is just a snap of the fingers, and I am afraid that those who often sit and sleep will pass away.

Ian saw their doubts, and laughed at himself: "It's hard to understand, isn't it?" He sighed, "I can't understand it either, but my mother said that there is something hidden about this matter, and she has been working hard all these years. To investigate the truth, but there has been no clues... It's just that I didn't expect that I would have the intention of following her old path, so I told me the matter."

"To be honest, the ethnic group has no right to manage the marriage of adult clan members. Except for the prohibition of intermarriage with other races, they will not make any other interference. Some people have never married for tens of thousands of years. Bloodlines—they don't care about that."

"Discrimination against ordinary beast cultivators is indeed one of the aspects, but no matter how you think about it, you don't have to put people to death. Take the matter of me and Daphne as an example. Sander and the group just have a personal enmity with me, not It involves the power of the clan."

Ian frowned: "So what do you mean by telling us this?" His blue eyes suddenly fixed on Fuze, his eyes were sharp, "Frankly speaking, we only knew each other for less than two days. , just formed a team to do a mission, why do you have to talk about it, and say these things that can be called the secrets of the Xuanwu clan?"

Fuze's heart turned cold when he heard the words, and his mood faded.

He didn't know why, but he had an inexplicable sense of trust in these two new friends—it seemed that he subconsciously felt that they would draw their swords to help him in his affairs...

But why?What level of power is the Xuanwu clan? As long as they have a normal mind, who would foolishly join in with enthusiasm. In other words, even if there is such a person, he really dare not share the secret easily.

That's all...he sighed in his heart, thinking that he was being affectionate, and it was just a fate of a mission, so let's finish this mission well first.

Fu Ze shook his head as he thought about it: "I, I didn't want you to do anything... Sigh, I was reckless too. You should pretend you didn't hear it, and no one will come to trouble you."

This time it was Ian's turn to be stunned, he couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you thinking, did you just say so much just to tease us, how could we pretend that we didn't hear it."

Claude glanced at them and said, "Fuze, you lost your composure."

Su Yu smiled: "Fuze, when did you become so cautious, are you so worried that you misjudged someone?"

Even Daphne tugged on her lover's sleeve, and said angrily, "What are you talking about, it doesn't look like you at all."

Fuze: "..." He couldn't turn the corner for a while, and looked at Ian on the opposite side in a daze.

Ian sighed: "I just want to know what you want us to do, and... I am really curious about your behavior, we have only known each other for such a short time, why do you take things so unreservedly?" Tell us all?"

【This kid is getting better at pretending.】 Fenghuang curled his lips, 【It's strange that he didn't expect to be misunderstood by this silly turtle. 】Qin Jue smiled and said: 【How can this be called pretending? What, the natural evolution of chicks after leaving the hen's wings? 】Qin Jue rolled his eyes: 【I will truthfully tell Rand your description of him. ] Bai Ze, who had been listening in, couldn't help laughing. He coughed seriously after two puffs, and put the topic on the right track: 【Your status in the Suzaku clan is not low, right?Do you have any idea about this matter? ] [No,] Fenghuang replied very bachelor, [I really know that not to intermarry with foreigners is just racial discrimination... But no matter what, our clan will not force people who break this precept For that part... Tsk, killing someone else's lover directly is really unimaginably barbaric. 】Qin Jue smiled with satisfaction: 【It is precisely because of this that we must participate in this matter,】 He looked at Ian with admiration, 【I said before that in order to find Anda quickly, we The louder the noise, the better. 】
