Starborn Zero II: Tales of the Dragonmen

"Credrich." At this moment, a voice sounded behind the two of them.

The two turned around at the same time, Rhine stood not far away and looked at them, his face as expressionless as ever.

"Your Highness." Kleedrich saluted him respectfully.

"His Royal Highness." Krause also bowed his head.

Rhine's cold eyes fell on Krause, and he turned to Kleedrich after a while, "Before the regular meeting, come to my office to report the content."

"Yes."

Kleedrich followed Rhine up the elevator.The two stood side by side, and Kleedrich inadvertently glanced at Rhine next to him.He never asked him to report on work before regular meetings, and he never let others set foot in his office on weekdays.Today's move was obviously because of Clause.

"Do you have something to ask?" Rhine seemed to notice his gaze.

Kleedrich was silent for a moment, "No."

Rhine looked at him, but didn't speak again.

The two got out of the elevator and walked into Rhine's office.There are more than 100 unread messages from artificial intelligence on the screen of the whole system, and the reminder bells of conference activities are one after another, which interprets the busyness of a high-ranking person.Kleedrich walked to his desk and noticed something before he opened his eyes.There is a framed photo on the table facing the Rhine, and inside it is a single photo of Kleedrich.

Kleedrich immediately looked up at Rhine, who was also looking at him, with something conveying in his eyes.Regardless of whether this photo existed long ago or was deliberately placed here today, Kleedrich already understood what Rhine wanted to tell him.

In his heart, there is only him.

Kleedrich suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and cleared his throat, "Today's regular staff meeting will have two topics. One is the strategic plan for the main upper powers in the galaxy; screening program."

"Intelligence Darknet, do you mean miracles?" Rhine asked suddenly.

Kleedrich nodded, "Your Highness must have heard that this darknet organization is huge, with members spread across multiple galaxies, and many of them are personnel from the intelligence agencies of various countries. According to the latest information from the General Staff, there is also this darknet organization in the Empire." Members of the organization, it is very necessary to take screening measures."

"I don't have time to attend the regular meeting today, and you will chair it for me. This topic is not in a hurry, and we will discuss it when I attend next time."

Kleedrich's tone was serious, "Your Highness, according to the information we have now, there are already miraculous members in the military. I'm worried that if we don't screen them immediately, important military secrets will leak out."

Rhine smiled slightly, looking at him with deep meaning in his eyes, "Trust me, Clyde."

Clyderich looked at him.He didn't know if the sentence was referring to the suspension of the dark web, his own feelings, or both.

"Yes, Your Highness." Kleedrich saluted solemnly.

"You go." Rhine turned his gaze back to the holographic screen.

Kleedrich turned around and took two steps. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Rhine.

"Your Highness, pay attention to rest."

"understood."

Sparrow Tail Galaxy, Murloc Harbor

Gene and Mo have been living in the burrow for the past three weeks.Gene personally taught Mo to trade items, store food, and clean up the house.In the early morning of this day, Gene asked Mo to go to the trading company alone to exchange items as usual, and then returned to the ship to check the equipment and supplies routinely.When he returned to the ship, he received a message from Rodney that the Nightmare had been repaired and sent back to the mothership.

Gene was overjoyed and immediately came to the mech cabin.In addition to the repairs, the Nightmare's shell has also been repaired and polished, making it look like a new mecha.Genn let out a long whistle, fondling the Nightmare's outer metal.

"Baby, you really kept me waiting for a long time."

"When I was away, you didn't try to ride other mechas?" Mengyan's tone was still arrogant, with a little jealousy.

Gene couldn't help the joy on his face, "Impossible! You are my baby, and I will always be with you!"

"I hope what you said is true." The door of the elevator at Nightmare's feet opened.

Just as Gene stepped in, Rodney hurriedly asked behind him, "Captain, now that Nightmare is back, are we going to leave the port and set sail?"

Gene's footsteps stopped for two seconds, "The last supply will be completed tonight, and we will set sail tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Rodney remembered something, "By the way, Captain, will Mo come back with you tomorrow morning? I will let the cafeteria prepare his food. If the cafeteria serves vegetarian food tomorrow, he should make a fuss about not eating it." It's..."

"There's no need to prepare his food." With his back turned to him, Gene walked into the elevator and closed the door.

Rodney froze, staring blankly at the closed door.

Evening, Murloc Harbor

When Jin returned to the cave, Mo was hiding the meat exchanged today into the storage cave.The storage hole was dug by him and Gene together. The inside of the hole was cool and moisture-proof. In addition to food, a lot of gold coins were put in the partition.

"Gene hug!"

Seeing Jin coming back, Mo immediately dropped the meat in his hand, ran over to him in two steps and threw himself into his arms.Gene didn't pat him and let go as usual, but hugged him for a while, and finally kissed his head before letting go.Mo was very happy to be kissed, and continued to go to the storage hole to arrange the meat with a flick of his tail.

"Jin, when are we leaving here?" Mo asked while sorting the meat.

Gene looked at his figure, "Why do you ask this?"

"Because we traded a lot of meat and put so many gold coins. When we leave one day, it will be so troublesome to move it back to the ship!"

Gene didn't speak, just looked at his figure, "When you finish tidying up, let's go out."

Mo immediately turned his head and widened his eyes, "Are you going out to play?"

Gene hummed.

Mo immediately sped up his hand movements, and after a while, he tidied things up. After closing the storage cave door, he staggered and followed Gene out of the cave.The two left their residence and came to a bar in the harbor.There are many orcs in the bar, and there is also a couple among them, holding a glass of wine and eyeing each other.Mo looked at them curiously, and tugged at the corner of Jean's clothes.

"Gene, why do they wear the same clothes and drink the same things?"

Gene glanced at it, "Because they're a couple."

Mo immediately pouted dissatisfiedly, "You didn't even tell me that we should wear the same clothes."

Gene pouted, "That's because we are different. You have a tail and I don't. Why do you wear the same one?"

Mo continued to pouted unconvinced.At this time the bartender came and asked the two what to drink.Gene thought that he would not be able to visit the port for a while, so he ordered a glass of strong drink to satisfy his craving.When the bartender asked Mo again, Mo immediately said without hesitation, "I want the same!"

Gene looked at him, "Can you drink?"

"Why not?" Mo said without fear.

Two glasses of wine were served, and Mo imitated the way of the couple, picked up the glasses and touched Gene, then poured them into his mouth in one gulp.In the next moment, his eyes widened, and he spit it all out in one gulp, sticking out his tongue while weeping.

"It's so spicy, it's too bad to drink..."

Gene had the word service in capital letters in his heart, and hurriedly called the bartender, "I want a cup, ah no, two cups of animal milk."

The bartender suppressed a smile and hurriedly served the animal milk. Gene gave Mo a cup and picked it up himself, "We drink the same, is that okay?"

Mo didn't care about clinking glasses, he picked them up and drank them all in one gulp, and drank most of the glass before Jinn's.Gene took the napkin and wiped his mouth for him. Mo took advantage of this moment to pick up Gene's wine glass and threw it out with a flick of his hand.

"Jin can't drink it, it's spicy."

"Hey, my wine..."

Gene felt a pain in his heart. After leaving Hong Kong, he didn't know how long he would not have alcohol.He sighed deeply, and asked the bartender for two glasses of animal milk again.Mo looked around curiously while drinking the animal milk, but Jin's eyes were focused on him.

"Mo, do you remember how to exchange items?"

Mo hummed absently.

"Remember, don't show gold coins to strangers, don't let strangers enter the cave, don't believe what others say casually, don't tell others that you are a dragon, don't..."

Gene stopped talking.He still has a lot of things to ask, and he never knew he would be so long-winded.

Mo shook his head and didn't listen at all, his face gradually turned red, and his eyes gradually blurred.

"Mo?" Gene looked at him a little bit wrong.

Mo smiled sweetly, then hugged his arm, and squeezed hard into his arms, "Hug Gene!"

Gene had black lines on his face, "Didn't you spit out the wine, why did you get drunk after just a little bit?"

Mo obviously wasn't listening to what he said, he got into his arms and murmured to himself, his words were a little unclear, "Hug Gene. Don't want me from Gene, hug..."

"Ah!" He suddenly yelled while talking, broke away from Gene's embrace, and looked at him blankly.

All eyes in the bar were on Mo.Gene was even more confused, and stayed there looking at him, "What's the matter, did I step on your tail?"

"Go home! Go home! There are important things to do!" Mo exaggeratedly stared and ran out of the bar like a rabbit.

"Hey!"

Jean was stunned for two seconds before he realized it, quickly took out two gold coins and threw them on the table, jumped up and chased them out.He never knew that Mo looked soft and weak, but he could run faster than a rabbit.In addition, his eyes can see at night, so Jin chased him for a long time, and finally caught up at the entrance of the cave.Panting for breath, he ran into the cave, and saw Mo was opening the storage cave, picked up the meat and gold coins inside, ran to the door, and threw them all out of the cave.

Gene stared wide-eyed, watching him throw things out again and again, and stopped him when he came back again, "You're crazy, what are you doing?"

"Shhhhhh!" Mo's face was flushed, and his breath had a strong smell of alcohol.He tightly covered Jean's mouth, and whispered urgently, "@%#*+~}"

Gene's eyes couldn't be wider, "What are you talking about?"

"Uh..." Mo seemed to have confused the language system, and stopped to react, "Stop talking, we have to throw away everything. Otherwise, Jin, he will not want me."

Gene froze there, "What did you say?"

"Jin will not want me." Mo muttered to himself while busy moving things, "I saw, I saw, Jin left me here alone."
