Lu Yuan would never understand what a male insect with a blood purity of more than 60% meant to Salilanfa, and he would not know how many eyes were quietly watching him in the dark. If the data was true, it would be good, but if it was false, the fate that awaited him would definitely not be good.
The two most popular male insects in the imperial capital, one is the young master of the Monk family, and the other is Justu's half-brother, have both been offended by Lu Yuan. They have not yet retaliated, simply because Admiral Safir has announced to the public that Lu Yuan's blood purity is as high as 60%, so they are afraid to take action.
But Admiral Saphir could hide it from the outside world, but not from the Insect Emperor. Now that Lord O'Hara has taken away the sample with Lu Yuan's blood, it won't be long before the true purity of Lu Yuan's blood is discovered. If it's not 60%...
If there is no 60%...
Admiral Safir's heart sank, and he was a little afraid to guess what would happen to Lu Yuan. He had lied in a hurry to save the other party's life, but the truth would eventually come out. What would Lu Yuan do then
At the gambling table, the odds of winning are mixed. Although the opponent has a 50% chance of being extremely pure, he also has a 50% chance of being less than 60%.
Seeing that the medical officer had finished bandaging Justu, Admiral Safir calmly waved them away, then walked to Justu, bent down and whispered: "Lord O'Hara, on the orders of His Majesty, has taken a blood sample from Lord Lu Yuan."
Yusitu was extremely weak at first, but he opened his eyes instantly after hearing this: "They want to investigate the purity of Lu Yuan's blood?"
Admiral Safir nodded solemnly: "Duke Monk has been secretly pressuring His Majesty to announce the purity of Lord Lu Yuan's blood as soon as possible. I'm afraid the excuse of snake venom can't delay for much longer."
Meanwhile, Lord O'Hara had returned to the palace with his attendants. As soon as he entered the Insect Emperor's bedroom, he saw him pacing back and forth in the hall. The carved candles used to decorate the corners of the table had burned down to a short wick, and it was obvious that the monarch had not slept all night.
When His Majesty Apu heard Lu Yuan's name, he frowned unconsciously and asked without emotion: "Have you seen the male insect?"
His Majesty Apu: "How?"
Admiral Saphir sighed, "Your Majesty will not like us doing this."
His eyes were deep and cold: "That old guy will definitely attack Lu Yuan secretly. If necessary, we can directly knock out his minions."
Justu narrowed his eyes silently: "Keep an eye on them."
His Majesty Apu would never believe someone else's one-sided words. He only believed his own eyes. He closed his eyes calmly after hearing this and said unexpectedly, "O'Hara, I never knew that it was enough to just look at the character and face of a male insect. When did Salilan Law add this rule?"
His Majesty Apu asked in confusion: "Neither?"
Even though it was his intention to let O'Hara take the male insect from the Durant family with him.
In the Salilan Empire, if a male insect has a gentle and polite personality, it can only mean one thing, that is, the purity of the other party's blood is low and he has no power to rely on, because arrogance also requires capital.
O'Hara shook his head and denied it: "Neither."
O'Hara couldn't tell what the attitude of this person in power was towards Lu Yuan: "Yes, I saw it."
O'Hara nodded. "When I rushed over, His Highness the Seventh Prince was with the male insect named Lu Yuan, and he had already been injected with a sedative, so the male insect from the Durant family was of no use."
O'Hara smiled and signaled him not to worry: "His Highness the Seventh Prince has successfully survived the mental turmoil and is currently recuperating in the academy. Please don't worry too much."
His Majesty Apu was relieved after hearing this and sat down on the chair again. He was wearing a warm velvet robe on his shoulders. The luxurious red color once turned into pure black under the flickering candlelight, just like his unpredictable expression: "Did Justu survive on his own, or did he rely on the male insect mark of the Durant family?"
Lord O'Hara pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "He is very outstanding, with good looks and polite personality. If His Highness the Seventh Prince is interested in him, he might be a good choice."
If it is the former, His Majesty Apu will be very happy, but if it is the latter, he will feel very sorry, just like seeing a white jade covered with dust or a bright pearl with flaws.
His Majesty Apu had been thinking about Justu. When he heard O'Hara's voice, he finally came back to his senses and asked subconsciously, "You're back. Where's Justu? How is he?"
Justu curled his lips coldly and said sarcastically: "He is the monarch, of course he doesn't like the intrigues among his subjects. Just do it, and if something goes wrong, just push it onto me. Anyway, I have done enough ridiculous things, this one won't be a big deal."
O'Hara understood the meaning of the music and immediately bowed and saluted, saying, "I have taken the blood sample from that gentleman and sent it for testing. The results will be out in a few days, but... Admiral Safire doesn't seem very happy about it."
Lord O'Hara bowed and called him back to his senses: "Your Majesty."
"Of course he won't be happy," His Majesty Apu lazily leaned back in his chair, propped up his head with his hands, and tapped his knees lightly with his fingertips. "Sapphire is determined to remove the polluted source stone, and of course he doesn't want anything to happen to the male insect that can lead the way. I hope the purity of the male insect's blood will not disappoint us. After all, Justu is also a stubborn guy."
He paused for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Has Gain still not found the male insect he likes?"
Gain is the Eighth Prince.
He was injured on the battlefield in his early years and had a lame leg. He has not found a suitable partner yet.
O'Hara sighed: "The Eighth Prince is a loner, always keeps to himself, and never gets close to any bugs."
His Majesty Apu closed his eyes upon hearing this and slowly rubbed his temple with his fingertips: "Match him with the male insect from the Durant family. Gain's mental strength is damaged. Without the male insect's pheromone to comfort him, it will be difficult for him to survive the growth period."
O'Hara hesitated, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Durant family will not be willing..."
No male insect would be willing to marry a female insect that is not only unpopular but also disabled.
His Majesty Apu slowly opened his eyes upon hearing this. His light red eyes were as deep and unfathomable as the sea. He warned in a low voice, word by word: "O'Hara, Durant and the others are subjects, and Gunhedra is the king."
This land has always been ruled by them, and life and death are determined by them, and no insect can object.
Lu Yuan didn't know that his blood sample had been sent for testing. He returned to the dormitory in the early morning and had a good sleep. The next day he went to class and exercised. When the school issued the reading cards to the new students, he went directly to the library in the afternoon.
"It's a long way to go. Do we have to stay in the library?"
The fat boy Red sat opposite Lu Yuan. He looked around and saw that everyone was quietly reading and studying. He felt that he didn't fit in here. He lowered his voice and pleaded, "Can we go to the cafeteria? I'm really hungry now."
"Go eat by yourself, I'm not hungry."
Lu Yuan did not even raise his head, flipping through the book in his hand quickly. There was also a thick pile of historical documents of the Insect Planet on the table. This was certainly not because he loved studying, but because he wanted to know why the Zerg language was so similar to that of Earth. Could there be some connection between the two
Red lay on the table, looking weak: "Forget it, I'd better lose weight. Staying in the library may be a good choice. It's better than going to the cafeteria."
He has been practicing slimming yoga crazily recently, and his weight loss has finally shown some results. He doesn't want to give up all his efforts so early.
Lu Yuan did not chase Red, after all, he knew more words than he did, and he could ask him if he encountered something he did not know. Although the Zerg's star network was technologically advanced, there were still many ancient books that were not included in it. If he wanted to check the information, he could only come to this library that was said to carry hundreds of millions of years of history of the Salilan Law.
"The Origin and Development of Civilization", "Salilan Law", "History of Zerg Evolution", "Heremis"...
Lu Yuan read almost all the books related to the ancient Zerg civilization, even the mythological stories. Finally, he found some clues in several of the books, but he could not understand them because he was illiterate.
There are separate soundproof rooms in the library. Lu Yuan woke up Red, who was drowsy on the table, and pointed to one of the soundproof rooms, motioning him to follow him in.
"?" Red didn't understand what was going on, but he still got up and followed Lu Yuan inside. When he got to the soundproof room, he scratched his head and asked in confusion, "What are you doing in the soundproof room? You don't want to sleep here for the night, do you?"
Even if we have to sleep in a soundproof room, wouldn't it be a bad idea to invite him along? It would be embarrassing if homosexuality got out.
Lu Yuan didn't know what Red was thinking, otherwise he would have slapped him to death. Even if he wanted to be gay, Lu Yuan had to find a handsome guy with a good look and a good body, like Justu. Red's stupidity would only make him unable to control his fists.
"boom-"
Lu Yuan directly slapped a thick book "History of Zerg Evolution" in front of Red. Although he was discussing study, his frown made people feel that he was discussing state secrets. "Why am I sleeping here? I just want to ask you a few questions."
Reid sat up straight subconsciously: "What do you want to ask?"
Lu Yuan had taken notes while flipping through the book. He looked down and pointed at the handwriting and asked, "What does this mean?"
Red thought it was some difficult question, so he leaned over to take a look. Only then did he realize it was the History of Zerg Evolution. He scratched his head and said, "This passage means that billions of years ago, our ancestors were reptiles. Later, due to evolution from generation to generation, their genes changed, and they slowly shed their shells and became what they are now."
Even though Lu Yuan was a nine-leaked fish, he still thought this explanation was ridiculous. He even seriously doubted whether Red was a nine-leaked worm: "Are you sure? But your ancestors..."
Red seriously corrected him: "It's our ancestors."
Lu Yuan: "...Okay, our ancestors."
Lu Yuan reconsidered his words: "But don't you think that their insect form is quite different from our current appearance? Logically speaking, even if it is evolution, some similarities should be retained."
At least humans and apes have similarities. Humans and insects are really unrelated species. Lu Yuan feels that this is no longer called evolution, but should be called Ultraman transformation.
Reid shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Billions of years ago, the universe was in chaos. Every planet was rich in energy. At that time, many species were exposed to this energy radiation for a long time, and their genes mutated, thus evolving into various forms. This is normal."
so…
"We are actually a species that has undergone genetic mutations and cannot think according to common sense."
Lu Yuan: “…”
Okay, that's an explanation.
Lu Yuan picked up another book, pointed to a passage on it and asked, "'The insect god once spread civilization here', what does this sentence mean?"
Red wondered how Lu Yuan could not understand such a common myth, but he still explained seriously: "It means that the great insect god once taught us writing and knowledge, so that we have wisdom. He is the messenger of civilization."
Lu Yuan's hands trembled when he heard this, and he almost couldn't hold the book steady. He looked at Red in surprise: "What did you say? The Zerg's writing was taught by the Zerg God?!"
Red scratched his head, not understanding why Lu Yuan was suddenly so excited: "Yes, that's what it says in the myth."
Lu Yuan's heart was in his throat: "What myth? Which book is it in?"
Red directly picked out one of the books from the pile at hand. On the black cover were written the four big characters "Heremis", which looked simple and heavy. "This one should have it. I read it when I was a child."
He flipped through a few pages and pointed to a line. "Look, I remember it correctly. It says that billions of years ago, at the beginning of the world, the Insect God suddenly came to the world with civilization and taught us writing and knowledge. But when he completed his mission, he disappeared on a night with a blood moon and never appeared again."
"… "
Lu Yuan didn't say anything. He suddenly remembered that he was riding a tourist bus and accidentally rolled over on the mountain road and fell down the mountain. It seemed that a blood moon appeared on that day. But at that time he thought it was an ordinary total lunar eclipse, so he didn't take it seriously. Now think about it, could it be related to time travel
When Lu Yuan thought about this, a bold guess suddenly emerged in his mind:
Since I can travel here, is it possible for others to travel here too? The insect god recorded in history is very likely the first traveler of the insect race, and he is most likely from Earth, but the time point of his travel is different from mine.
At that time, the ancestors of the Zerg had just evolved into human form, and their civilization system was not yet complete. The time traveler taught them cultural knowledge and deliberately changed the word "human" to "insect". However, by chance he encountered the blood moon and traveled back again. The knowledge he left behind was gradually changed into its current form during billions of years of changes in the Zerg.
This seems to explain it, right
Lu Yuan sat in a chair, lost in thought, thinking about something. He flipped through the manuscript at hand again, and found that there seemed to be no record of the blood moon, so he had to look at Reid across from him: "Do you know how many blood moons the Zerg have seen?"
Red took out a bag of small biscuits from his pocket to fill his stomach. These biscuits were made of compressed grains. Although they tasted bad, they were good for losing weight and filling up. He ate them while thinking, "Hmm... That's a lot. I can't count them all."
This answer made Lu Yuan happy and heavy. He was happy that he had a chance to go home, but heavy because he didn't know how to deal with his relationship with Yusitu. He asked absentmindedly, "Really? How often does it usually happen?"
Red bit his biscuits and used the terminal to search for the number of blood moons that appeared in recent years. "Oh, not long ago, on average, once every 180 years..."
“Bang!”
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yuan suddenly fell off the chair. Reid was shocked when he saw this and quickly stepped forward to support him, saying, "Lu Yuan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?!"
Lu Yuan didn't answer, but grabbed his wrist, got up from the ground with difficulty, and asked in disbelief: "You just said that on average, how many years does it take for the Zerg to have a blood moon?!"
Red didn't understand why he reacted so strongly, and subconsciously said, "One... one hundred and eighty years."
Lu Yuan exclaimed in shock: "One hundred and eighty years?!"
What kind of concept is this?! He would have to dig his grandfather out of his grave, and add his father who was in prison, and have them live peacefully until they died of old age to make up a hundred and eighty years!
Lu Yuan held Red tightly and asked, "What if we don't calculate the average? Just calculate it based on the most recent year?!"
Red lowered his head and calculated on the terminal, then answered carefully: "One hundred and fifty years?"
Lu Yuan: “…”
Very good, it is still the age that is out of his reach.
Lu Yuan was just worrying about what would happen to Justu if he returned to Earth, but now he doesn't have to worry about anything. With Red's help, he sat back in his chair with difficulty, his face pale and his fingertips trembling. He didn't know if he was angry or scared.
Red was frightened by Lu Yuan, and pushed him bravely: "Lu Yuan, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Lu Yuan said nothing: "..."
Reid took a bite of the biscuit, handed the bag to Lu Yuan, and asked tentatively: "If you encounter anything unhappy, you can tell me. If you really can't, eat something. You will feel better after you are full."
Lu Yuan didn't say anything, but gritted his teeth and took the bag of biscuits with a shelf life of 120 years from his hand, then crushed them with a snap, his movements extremely brutal.
Say? How
That he won't live as long as the bag of cookies in Red's hand? ! !
