The heavy ice door blocked most of the light, and the alley was dark. Gulliver leaned on a huge ice curtain with his arms folded, silently waiting for the negotiation between Irma and the old hunchback to end.

"Negotiation", he didn't know why he used this word, it should not be used to describe anything between father and son, but he subconsciously felt that this was a negotiation.

Why is the old hunchback so excited to see them together?Because he is a man?Because he is from an alien?Or... because he is Zhou Wei's bodyguard?

Gulliver didn't know, so he could only wait anxiously.He pricked up his ears trying to hear the conversation in the ice cave, but Irma and the old hunchback obviously communicated in sign language, and there was no sound at all.He wanted to see their gestures clearly, but the ice door was too thick, the light inside was dim, and he could only vaguely see the shaking light and shadow.

I don't know how long it took, maybe only a quarter of an hour. Gulliver felt like he had been waiting for a lifetime, and the ice door finally slid open. Irma stood at the door and smiled at him: "Come in, he wants to see you."

It seemed that the result was not bad, Gulliver heaved a sigh of relief and followed him in.The old hunchback was sitting on a wooden chair, hunched over, like a dying beast, holding two nuts with dry fingers and gently rubbing them, making a slight "clucking" sound.

Gulliver didn't know how to address him, "father-in-law" or "uncle" or "uncle", so he nodded in general: "Excuse me."

The old hunchback nodded reluctantly, and pointed to the wooden chair next to him.Gulliver sat down, and Irma sat next to him, stretched out a finger under the table to hook his hand, and winked at him: "Don't mind what happened just now, my father was just a little surprised, he will Respect my decision."

The old hunchback let out a sigh of unknown meaning, and he tore open a nut and handed it to Gulliver.

Gulliver didn't know if this was just an ordinary guest, or it represented his acceptance of himself, he thanked him in a low voice, took the nuts and peeled them off, and handed half to Irma and half to the old hunchback.

The old hunchback was a little surprised, he stared at Gulliver for a while with his dark eyes, and then sighed again.

This sigh sounded much more sincere than the one just now. Gulliver heard his helpless compromise from the subtle changes in his breath, smiled at him, and said, "I will protect Irma well. For a while, I want to take him home, and you, let's leave here together. If we are not used to the climate of my hometown, we can also find a more comfortable planet to settle in, and my parents will support us."

After thinking about it, he said, "You can stay with us forever, and Irma and I will take good care of you and find a good doctor to treat you." Well, love really can make people abandon the bottom line. He didn't even think about living with his own parents.

The old hunchback's eyes softened, and he looked at Irma questioningly.Irma shook her head at him calmly, and said to Gulliver: "Let's talk about these things later, let's get past this one first. It's getting late, I have to help him move to the depths of the glacier, You may run into the spies sent by the king at night."

"I'll help you." Gulliver said without hesitation, helping his prospective father-in-law move, of course it is his duty-bound responsibility as a new "son-in-law"!

The old hunchback hesitated, and looked at Irma again.Irma asked Gulliver: "Don't you need to do the business that His Majesty ordered?"

"There is still time, I will greet him." Gulliver stood up, "Do you want to clean up these furniture?"

Irma didn't bother with Zhou Wei's question anymore, and said, "No, just bring some soft clothes. It's just a temporary stay. There are also simple utensils over there."

The old hunchback sorted out the hanrats he picked up just now, put the food and medicine in a big bag, and handed it to Gulliver.Irma packed his clothes for him, carefully packed the cups, plates and bowls into a box lined with soft cloth, looked around without missing anything, and said, "Let's go."

With the super-space-time mecha as a means of transportation, the move was carried out extremely quickly.The old hunchback has been hiding in the sub-continent for more than 20 years, and the cunning rabbit has more than three caves. Along the way, Irma told Gulliver that he has a total of ten residences here, each of which does not exceed half a year. Patrols searching the subcontinent.

"The environment of the previous residence was better, but it wasn't deep enough." Irma explained, "The secret agents like to search near the cracks in the supercontinent, which is too close to a certain crack."

"Where are you going now?" Gulliver asked.

"The underground city." Irma said, leading him to turn a corner, fly into a low ice cave, and fly down a gentle slope for 800 meters, entering a magical world of pipes—— This is like the underground drainage network of the subcontinent, criss-crossing and densely covered with forks.

Irma took Gulliver with ease to a huge ice cave, which was a dead end, and the hole was blocked to form a natural igloo, with several thin holes on the top for ventilation.

"The terrain here is lower than other parts of the mainland, and there is a natural pipeline structure, which I discovered seven or eight years ago." Irma said, "I named it the underground city."

Gulliver looked around. This place was the same as the previous hiding place, with simple furniture, but it had not been lived in for a long time, and the tables, chairs and beds were covered with a thin layer of ice.Erma made the bed for the old hunchback, packed his clothes, communicated with him in sign language for a long time, and then said to Gulliver: "It's getting late, I'm going to report to the chief guard, let's go together."

Gulliver nodded, imitating the etiquette of the Heki people and bowed to the old hunchback: "Then I'm leaving, you take care of yourself."

The old hunchback's attitude towards him was much better than before, but he still looked at him with tangled and complicated eyes, so he gave him a half salute and waved his hand to signal to go.

Gulliver guessed that every father is like this. Seeing their children grow up and leave home, there will always be a feeling of pride and loss.I couldn't help feeling a little guilty towards him, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, this kind of life won't last long, and I will take you out of here as soon as possible."

The old hunchback sighed, glanced at Irma, shook his head, waved his hands, and turned away from them.

"Let's go." Irma was a little low, reluctantly smiled at Gulliver, and left the ice cave.

Flying out of the dungeon, they flew back and forth to the South Pole in silence. About halfway through, Irma stopped and said, "Just here, I should adjust my direction. Huan is not in the same direction."

Gulliver followed and stopped, although he was reluctant to leave him, but the time had dragged on for too long, and he would miss the agreement with Zhou Wei, so he nodded: "Okay."

"Goodbye." Irma controlled the flying wings to approach Gulliver, and kissed him on the cheek, "Be careful, Your Highness Beard."

"I'll be waiting for you in Ice Valley." Gulliver said, "If anything goes wrong, remember to go back to Ice Valley as soon as possible, Percy will protect you."

"Shenlong?" Irma didn't quite believe it, but still nodded obediently, "Okay."

Gulliver reluctantly pulled his hand, and was about to turn around when he heard an alarm from the mecha. Almost at the same time, there were several "swish" sounds in his ears, and dense rays suddenly struck!

"Be careful!" Gulliver pulled Irma behind him, blocked the attack with the mecha, took advantage of the opportunity to deploy the second stage, and loaded a light cannon on his right hand to blast in the direction of the fire.

"Boom!" A huge ice mantle 500 meters away was shattered by the light cannon, and debris flew around.There was a terrible howl from the shadows behind the ice veil, probably the attacker was hit.

However, more intensive artillery fire attacked, ray guns mixed with light cannons, overwhelming him with the appearance of trying to drive him to death.Gulliver accepted the challenge calmly, approaching step by step under the protection of the hyperspace mecha, and walked towards the hiding place of the attacker.

"Cease fire!" Someone shouted in the shadow of the ice veil, "Master Georg, please stop, we are the Herky Legion!"

Do you want to beg for mercy if you can't beat it?Gulliver sneered, but still put away the light cannon.Irma whispered behind him: "It's the king's guards, the one who spoke just now was our chief guard."

A large group of black shadows poked their heads out from behind the bunker, and three tall men came out, one of them was wearing a military uniform, and on his head was wearing a platinum headband that symbolized the regent of the Heji Empire. Lord King.

However, his complexion was not as good-looking as his imposing manner. Running around and worrying made him look very haggard, his complexion was gloomy, and there were thick black shadows under his eyes, which were covered with cobweb-like red bloodshot eyes.

"Sure enough, you betrayed me and took refuge with another man." King Beard looked gloomy at Irma behind Gulliver, with grim eyes, "Have you forgotten your identity? Irma is my child."

"King." Irma whispered, her body trembled, she came out from behind Gulliver, and knelt down on one knee in front of King Beard.

King Peter raised his chin with the gun barrel in his hand, frowned and looked at his face that was pretending to be calm, and said with a sneer: "You don't remember who you belong to, huh? Whose brand are you burning on your body? You Whose slave is it?"

"Yes, it's you, king." Irma's voice trembled slightly, her green eyes shone with deep-seated fear, "It's you."

"Twenty years of upbringing are not worth the seduction of a man. Is my law too merciful, or your bones too cheap?" Beard patted his side cheek with the barrel of a gun, and with a movement of his right hand, a black shadow Then he drew it towards his neck.

"Stop!" Gulliver quickly grabbed King Beard's whip, grabbed Irma's upper arm with his big hand, and pulled him up behind him, "Your Highness Beard, why does he belong to you? Because his people rebelled and you killed them all?"

King Beard wanted to take back the whip, but he yanked it hard, but it didn't move at all. Twisted veins popped out on his forehead. He stared at Gulliver bitterly, and said, "Do you want to talk to me about the ownership of this slave? Georg, even if It is His Majesty, and he has no right to meddle with my private slave! I pulled him out of the dead 20 years ago and signed a subordinate contract with him. If he hadn’t been a slave, he wouldn’t be alive today!” pointed Pointing to Irma, the corner of his mouth curled coldly, "Do you want me to show the seal of the contract? Or have you already checked it?"

Irma lowered her head slightly, showing a humiliated and inferior expression.Gulliver understood what Beard was talking about as soon as he turned his head - the brand on Irma's shoulder, the eye of Heki, or the eye of Issa, probably the "seal of the contract" in his mouth.

Heji law allows nobles to raise slaves, and it is also legal for King Beard to force the captives of the defeated party to sign a subordination contract with him. Gulliver hesitated. It is necessary to discuss the rationality of the slave law with him. The simplest solution is to obtain the ownership of Irma.

"Make a price." Gulliver let go of King Beard's whip, and said, "Why are you willing to let him go free?"

"Ha!" King Beard laughed strangely, and said, "What's the price? I raised him for 20 years and raised him to be a tame, alert, and powerful slave. Could it be that he was sold to others? How can my painstaking efforts be measured by gold coins and precious stones!"

"Make a price." Gulliver was disgusted by his contemptuous and unwilling eyes on Irma, blocked his sight, and said coldly, "You know I can afford it!"

You know I can afford it.

Domineering words to the extreme are simply a challenge to one's own dignity!King Beard's gray eyes flashed fiercely, and he loosened and clenched his fists, intending to let the guards open fire immediately, blasting this annoying pair into cannon fodder, but finally controlled his emotions.

"Okay." King Peter took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and said, "Since you are sure that you can afford it, then don't regret it."

Gulliver stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

"Hand over King Galle."

In silence, King Beard looked at Gulliver, like a vulture staring at his long-coveted prey, worrying about gains and losses, but also determined to win.Gulliver looked at him expressionlessly, his black eyes were as deep as the sea, and he said nothing, but his whole body exuded an indescribable pressure.

Irma stood behind Gulliver. Although he maintained a calm and gentle slave face, his constricted pupils and veins on the back of his hands completely exposed his nervousness.

"Yes." Gulliver said suddenly after a long time.

King Beard's eyes brightened, as if he couldn't believe that he was willing to pay such a high price.

"It's a pity that he doesn't want to see you." Just before he opened his mouth, Gulliver said again, "He said that he once swore that unless the Gemini star died and the top star disappeared, he would never live in the same sky as you for the rest of his life Down."

The light in King Beard's eyes was instantly extinguished, and his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Gulliver said: "He would rather destroy Isa's country than have peace talks with you. Your Highness Beard, are you sure you can bear his consequences?"

Beard remained silent for 5 minutes before saying in a hoarse voice, "Take me to see him."

Gulliver hesitated and said, "Yes."

Beard's burly shoulders slowly collapsed, and he tried to support his noble aura, but he was a little powerless.He sighed inexplicably, rubbed his temples with his thumb habitually, and said, "I have roughly guessed one or two of your majesty's deep meaning, Mr. Georg, I really wanted your majesty to drive the dragon to kill Jia Leh, avenge my destruction of the country, but after all, we dominate the life and death of so many civilians, and we shouldn’t let the entire planet suffer from the flames of war for our own personal revenge.”

After a pause, he sighed wistfully, and said: "Let the past pass by, people must always look forward... I will try to convince King Galle, if there is anyone in this world who can convince him, That's me."

Closing his eyes, his tone was vicissitudes and pain, "After all, we are biological brothers."
