The young man was sitting on the side of the road, with flaxen hair scattered around his frowning brows, a bunch of long hair tied at the back of his head and draped over his shoulders, with the ends hanging down on his chest. He sat on the flower bed by the side of the road with his knees bent, holding his forehead with one hand, rubbing his fingers into his forehead hair, because his forehead was tightly wrinkled when his forehead was raised by his hands, he pursed his lips tightly, looking in a bad mood.
Canaan has been very upset recently, not only because the mental power he has been used to for many years has been sealed and cannot be used, but also because this place is full of humans that he hates. Although he was mentally prepared when he decided to obey Noah's order and come to the human settlement, he still felt suffocated when he really came to this place surrounded by humans.
He understood what Noah told him, so he was willing to accept this task. But he really couldn't control the feeling of irritability when he saw humans, so he would speak in that uncomfortable tone when facing humans—even if he knew he shouldn't do that, it would give Noah is causing trouble, and he can't help himself.
The decision made by Noah after returning back caused an uproar on the planet, most of them were emotional and resolutely opposed the proposal of alliance with humans. However, there are also some people who choose to support Noah's decision because of their trust in Noah - most of them are the second generation girls and the rare third generation girls, who were born and raised on the planet and have never Having personally experienced the cruel things humans have done to Jia, the hatred for humans is naturally not as deep-rooted as the first generation Jia.
Canaan is the first generation of Jia.
Among the gals who supported Noah's decision, he was one of the very few first-generation gals. The first-generation Jia who escaped from human persecution had a strong hatred for human beings, and he was no exception. but…
A child's crisp laughter came from ahead. He sat on the flower bed, looked down, and saw the family of three passing by on the ramp below him.
The little child spun around the woman's calf, reaching out on tiptoe to grab the object in the woman's hand, but he couldn't reach it anyway, and suddenly felt aggrieved. The man on the side laughed and lifted the child from behind and let him ride on his shoulders. The child who was so wronged that he was about to cry just now was happy, and hugged his father's head, lowered his head and kissed him vigorously. a mouthful.
…
The young man with flaxen hair looked at the scene under his feet, and the scattered shadows of his hair fell into his eyes, making his pupils suddenly darker. There was a bit of hostility in his eyes, his hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were faintly bulging. The metal ring on his arm suddenly buzzed and shook very violently, which was proof that his sealed mental power was fluctuating violently.
He gritted his teeth and stared down with extremely fierce eyes.
Even if most of the mental power has been locked, the remaining fluctuating mental power is enough to affect the family of three not far away. They instinctively looked in this direction, although they couldn't see the young man's face clearly, but the kind that said Unclear malice has almost substantively oppressed them, making them look terrified, and the child being held by the father even cried out loudly.
A hand suddenly stretched out from above, pressed on Canaan's head, and pressed his head down hard.
The hostile mental power was instantly dissipated under such pressure, and the family of three stood there in some confusion, seeing the black-haired boy who suddenly appeared next to the young man who made them feel uncomfortable smiled at them , I can't explain why, it's completely different from the feeling that made them feel cold just now, there is a warm and soft feeling transmitted through the boy's smile, it seems to melt away the cold and chilly feeling just now, and it makes them feel cold. Immediately he felt comfortable, and even the child who had just cried a few times stopped crying, sucking his fingers, staring at the big brother above who was smiling at him with big watery eyes.
"Let go!"
Canaan, who was suddenly pressed down on the head, was furious.
"What do you want to do to a child?"
Mutt turned his gaze back from the family of three who had turned away, and landed on Canaan.
"I didn't want to do anything!"
Canaan, whose head was still pinned tightly, gritted his teeth and answered.
He wasn't lying, nor was he trying to quibble, he really didn't intend to hurt those humans, he just couldn't control his emotions for a while.
"The reason why human beings are afraid of Jia and think Jia is a monster is because a little fluctuation of Jia's mental power will cause harm to ordinary people." Mutt let go of the hand holding Canaan's head, "Even if you are unconscious, But if there is no suppression of this prohibition ring, you will hurt those few people just now, especially the child, and you may cause him to have a nervous breakdown just now."
He said, "So until you can control your emotions, this ring will not be removed."
"..."
Canaan was silent for a while. He sat on the edge of the flower bed with his head bowed, his arms resting on his knees, and the long flaxen hair on the nape of his neck fell down from his shoulders.
After a while, he answered in a low voice.
"I see," he said.
Mutt glanced at Canaan, who was bowing his head. In such a long time, it was the first time he heard such words from this mouth that expressed surrender.
The other young gals were slowly changing, but this gal had a deep-seated hatred and dislike of humans. He hates all human beings, whether they are soldiers or ordinary people, even the child who was just a few years old...
"Why did you come here?" he asked, "If you hate humans to such an extent, if you cannot accept an alliance with humans, then why did you accept the mission to come here?"
If Canaan came here with the idea of disturbing this alliance, Noah would not fail to see it, let alone send him over. Since Noah chose him, it means that Canaan is seriously supporting Noah decision.
But while he decided to support Jia to form an alliance with humans, while avoiding humans like snakes and scorpions, he also disliked himself in various ways. Mutt really couldn't figure out what this Jia wanted.
"..."
Canaan sat on the spot, lowered his head and pursed his lips without saying a word.
"If the alliance fails, you and I will return to Noah's Ark planet. Then, Jia continues to hide on that planet, pretending that he can't see the outside world, pretending that that planet is the whole world? Humans continue to fear Jia , Hate Jia, hunt and kill Jia... Do you think it is really good to go on like this?"
"..."
Canaan still didn't speak. He knew that Noah was right, and the successor of Noah was right. Jia couldn't stay on that small planet forever. The outside world was changing rapidly, but Jia was holding his head and pretending that he couldn't hear anything. Seeing that they can't see it, thinking that no one can see them and hurt them - this is the way to kill yourself.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Canaan is willing to obey Noah's decision to urge Gabo to form an alliance with humans to create a future for Gabo.
However, even if he understands intellectually, he still cannot restrain his hatred and hatred for human beings emotionally.
After a long silence, he finally spoke.
"Are humans... trustworthy?"
Canaan said, his eyes hesitated, and his tone was a little dazed.
"What can we do if they lie to us?"
Noah said, help the commander of this force to unify the universe. After this human being becomes the emperor, he will issue a decree prohibiting human beings from harming him, so that they don't have to always hide on that asteroid cautiously. The children of the born Jia will no longer be persecuted by humans...just like when he was a child.
No longer being persecuted, no longer hiding in a corner in fear, they can appear in any part of the world just like human beings.
What an alluring future.
…
But can humans be trusted
Is the Human Marshal really to be trusted
If they help that person get the universe, and that person becomes the emperor but refuses to fulfill the promise to Jia, there is nothing they can do.
Just thinking about this made Canaan feel extremely hesitant and uneasy.
Humans are cruel creatures, creatures of deceit and disguise, and he cannot easily trust them.
"You're right, maybe that human will deceive us."
Said Noah's successor standing beside him.
"And, even if he really lied to us in the end, and even bit us back, we can't do anything about him."
Canaan was stunned for a moment when he heard these words. He didn't expect Mutt to say that. He always felt that this Noah's successor was actually closer to human beings than his compatriot Jia. This is why he has always disliked this Noah. The reason for the successor—he thought that if he asked that, Mutt would tell him with assurance that that human being must be trustworthy and reassure him.
If Mutt said that, it would only make him feel more uneasy and repelled. But now when Mutt said that the human being might indeed deceive them, he was stunned.
But Mute thinks it's normal, he likes the major general, he trusts the major general, that's his own business, it doesn't mean he must ask others to trust and like the major general like him. From the standpoint of Noah and Canaan, it is normal for them to have a skeptical attitude towards the major general.
"So, even if that's the case, even if human beings really deceive us, even if we may get a result of being betrayed... But, just because there is a possibility of being deceived, why don't we do anything?"
The boy said that he was standing beside Canaan, and in the winding cylindrical light path above his head, one after another hovering cars whizzed by. The towering high-rise buildings stand above the ground, and the streamlined metal buildings unfold along the square lines. Above the sky, huge spaceships lined up and sailed slowly.
Mute looked at this strange yet familiar city, which was completely different from his previous world, but he still stayed in the interstellar city for a long time.
"If you don't do it, nothing will change."
Canaan sat there, and he heard the voice of Noah's successor coming from his head.
There was no confusion or hesitation in that voice, only a power to look ahead.
"If you do, it is possible to be deceived, but it is also possible not to be deceived."
He heard Mutt ask him this.
"Canaan, zero possibility or half possibility, which one do you choose?"
He raised his head and looked at the boy, and Mute also lowered his head at this time, looking at him.
He saw those dark eyes, which were obviously the darkest tone, but there was a bright light born from them, just like the voice he heard just now, a kind of unshakable looking forward strength.
At this moment, he probably understood the reason why Noah chose this boy to be his successor, not only because of his power second only to Noah, but also because this boy possessed a power that none of them, including Noah, had.
That planet is Jia's paradise, and if they lose their paradise, they will lose their comfortable life from now on, their hypocritical peace will be completely broken, and they will be forced to go to the unknown world outside.
Blindly standing still has no future, and blindly doubting and hesitating will only make people more timid. Therefore, Jia needs a kind of power, a power that leads Jia forward——
Even if that kind of power will break the paradise that is like air bubbles.
Even if that power leads them on the road accompanied by fear of the unknown, hesitation, and pain.
But they need such power.
Canaan thought he knew what he should do.
He still can't fully trust human beings, and fully trust the human marshal chosen by Noah's successor. But he thought that there were some things that had to be done, even if they might just be a scam.
"I see."
Canaan said, he stood up, and his eyes swept across this steel and iron city completely different from his hometown, this human city with a metallic coldness. The confusion and hesitation in his eyes have dissipated, and his eyes are looking at the sky. Countless steel cables and light paths are interlaced in the sky, forming a pattern unique to human beings.
He said: "The next Noah, I am willing to believe in you."
So please be sure to lead us on the right path.
So, please be sure to give us the real future.
... ... ...
…………………
"Have you made a choice too?"
"… Yes."
"Then, three to two, according to what we said earlier, we follow Noah's will with our own will and choose to form an alliance with humans."
Ga's society is very different from that of human beings. There is no class hierarchy among Ga's, and there is no distinction between high and low. There is no such situation as who orders whom, only the situation of being willing to obey the other party out of respect. Jia can communicate through ideas and spiritual power, and both ideas and spiritual power cannot be faked, so there is no lie or deception between Jia.
They are willing to obey Noah's order because they have complete trust and respect for Noah. Noah is just like his belief, and no one will violate his belief.
But, in the same way, Noah will never do such things as forcibly ordering another Jia or requiring another Jia to obey himself. Noah respects the self-will of each companion, just like when Mutt wanted to stay in the human world, he would not take Mutt away forcibly.
Therefore, he did not order the five gals to follow his will to form an alliance with human beings. These young Jia believed in Noah's judgment, and then came here with their own will. In their minds, forming an alliance with humans is only one of the possibilities. After coming to the human world, they will see with their own eyes, think with their own thinking, and finally make a decision.
More than ten days have passed. Japheth is a loyal follower of Noah and has already made a choice. Sarah also chose not long ago to be willing to form an alliance with humans. Tina and Heber seem to be still hesitating but have not made a decision. But what they didn't expect was that Canaan, who was the most stubborn and hated humans among them, made the decision to form an alliance with humans before they did.
In this way, according to what they agreed at the beginning, the minority obeys the majority, and they will stay here as Jia's advance team, form an alliance with mankind, and help the human marshal gain the entire universe.
"I thought you would definitely vote against Canaan!"
Heber looked in disbelief.
"..."
The young man with long flaxen hair sat on the sofa and was silent for a while before speaking in a very low voice.
"I wouldn't come if I objected."
"I thought you were here to sabotage."
"… To shut up."
"Did I guess wrong?"
"You came all the way here just to cause damage, Eber, you are the only one who can do this kind of thing." Japheth, with short platinum hair, said, knowing the personalities of his companions, he stood in Canaan without hesitation. this side.
Heber clicked his tongue and fell silent, while Japheth continued.
"Canaan just has doubts about something," he said. "To be honest, I have great doubts about this matter."
"what do you mean?"
Tina on the side asked.
"Although according to the agreement, we help the human marshal to become the emperor of the empire. At that time, the marshal will give Jia the same citizenship as human beings—but, after the marshal became the emperor, he suddenly turned his face and refused to recognize him. What should I do if I admit the agreement?"
"… Uh."
Heber and the others fell silent.
Among the few of them, Japheth is the most stable person. Canaan is older than them, so it can be regarded as a matter of experience. The rest of them are basically young and not thinking about things. What Canaan and Japheth could not understand, it was even more impossible for them to understand.
After a long silence, the flaxen curly-haired girl who blinked her big eyes and glanced at this and that raised her hand cautiously.
"I think... I thought of a way."
...
……………
In the residence of the Marshal, the girls gathered together.
Here they assembled and gave their opinion to their Noahic successor very seriously.
"… what are you saying?"
The bewildered young man wondered if his ears were hallucinating.
"It's like this. We feel that the biggest risk of forming an alliance with humans is that humans may betray the covenant after they succeed." Canaan looked at Mutt and said, "So we discussed a solution."
"So, so... your method is..."
Because of the shock, Mute stuttered a little.
"Well, in fact, before we came here, we had learned as much as possible about the history and materials of the alliance between human beings. After our discussion, we felt that there is a way that may be very effective to prevent humans from abandoning the covenant." Canaan said, " From the perspective of history and data, one of the most common methods used by human forces to stabilize their alliances is through marriage."
Mutter: "..."
"So, Sarah proposed that she could marry the human marshal as Jia's representative."
Japheth continued to speak, he glanced at Sarah, the girl blinked, and then smiled innocently.
Japheth shook his head and set his eyes on Mutt.
"Mute, now the leader of our Jia is you, so please propose to the human marshal in the name of Jia about the marriage between Jia and humans."
Mute: "..."
The boy felt that he now understood what it was like to beep a dog.
Is this the rhythm of asking him, as Sarah's senior, to help Sarah propose marriage to his lover, Major General Troll
... You all said that I am also your leader anyway, now you guys want to force your leader, I will lead you to dig my own corner? ... You are going to heaven!
Really. Can go to the sky. Can also go to the universe. The Jias consciously put forward a great suggestion.
You see, if Sarah marries that human marshal, and when the human marshal becomes emperor in the future, Sarah will be the queen. At that time, the emperor will not be able to repent.
And if there is a queen of Jia, human beings will definitely not dare to continue to persecute Jia. In addition, if a child can be born, a prince with Jia's blood will inherit the throne in the future, that would be even better!
Just when the gangs surrounded their Noah's successor and were enthusiastically discussing the issue of marrying Marshal Troll, the red-haired junior soldier was standing next to the floor-to-ceiling windows. He didn't look at the crowd, but stood with his back to the crowd, buried his face into the wall, and pressed his hands against the wall.
Robin stood facing the wall, his shoulders shaking so violently that he seemed to be twitching. His hand on the wall kept digging at the wall. The wall was made of metal alloy, and he couldn't get in. His fingernails were almost broken but he still couldn't stop.
From behind, this man looked like he was shaking his shoulders in pain.
too painful!
The red-haired junior soldier, who was digging hard at the wall and burying his face in the wall, was about to cramp with shaking shoulders, and felt that he was about to suffocate from laughing.
Oh my god, I can't hold it anymore hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
…
... ... ...
Marshal Troll rested upstairs during the day because he was busy going to Emperor Star to deal with affairs for several days and nights. By the time he fell asleep and opened his eyes, it was already evening.
He washed up briefly, and changed into the Imperial Army uniform habitually. However, because he was at home, he was only wearing a white shirt on his upper body, instead of the military jacket with black background and gold pattern. Soon, the sound of black military boots stepping on the floor resounded on the spiral staircase.
As Troll walked down, he looked up and saw Mutter sitting on the sofa in the living room. The moment he saw the boy's silhouette, the corners of his slender phoenix eyes seemed to soften a little.
He went down the stairs and walked towards Mutt.
Because Mutt hadn't said a word, Yapheth and the others thought it might be because their proposal was too sudden, and Noah's successor needed to think about the possibility before making a decision, so they left first, and Robin as their Naturally, the monitor and manager also left together. Before leaving, he glanced at Mutt with a half-smile.
Only Sarah stayed in the house.
From "Mute, are you worried about me? Don't worry, I did it voluntarily. I like the Marshal very much." to "Is the Marshal going out again? When will he come back? Don't worry, I will make him like me~" This It’s impossible to say something like that, which made Mutt a headache. For some reason, he felt a little depressed after hearing these words, and didn't know what to say, so he could only stay silent.
Suddenly, the girl who had been chattering stopped, then got up and ran out. Mut subconsciously turned around to look, and he saw Sarah running straight towards Troll who had just walked down the stairs.
The girl jumped to the Marshal's side like a lively fawn, smiled happily, and stretched out her hand to hand a small delicate pink gift box tied with satin into a bow to Troll.
"Your Excellency Marshal, this is a human dessert I just learned to make, please have a taste~"
She looked at Troll expectantly and said.
Just as he was about to walk up to Mute, Troll saw the girl with short flaxen hair running towards him beside Mute, and handed him a small gift box the size of a palm.
The long and narrow phoenix eyes glanced at the girl. He still remembered the last time when he bumped into the door as soon as he entered, he reflexively picked up the girl from Jia. At that time, the girl shrank into a ball in fright, like a bullied animal, with an expression on her face that she was about to cry out of fear.
It's not like Troll has never seen this type of little girl before. When she was far away from him, she would stare at him with glowing eyes, and when she leaned over to meet his gaze, she would shrink into a ball in fright.
To be honest, he was very annoyed by this kind of timid little girl, so he didn't give the girl any good looks at that time, and planned to throw her directly into the lawn outside. But before he had time to throw it away, Mutt said a word, he thought about it, put her down, and then didn't bother to talk to her, went directly to the door and shut the girl out, leaving her alone.
Unexpectedly, this girl really didn't have a long memory, so she came here again.
Thinking of this, Lord Marshal felt a little impatient. He was about to pass by this girl and ignore her, but he suddenly felt a gaze cast over him.
He looked up and found Mute sitting on the sofa, turning around and clasping the back of the sofa with both hands, staring at him without blinking.
[Major General, don't bully the little girl.]
Troll suddenly remembered what Mute had said to him the last time he planned to throw the girl out.
He felt that Mutt was staring at him so nervously now, probably because he was worried that he would scare this girl again.
… never mind.
Thinking so, Troll reached out and took the small box that the girl sent in front of him.
Think of it as coaxing Mutt to be happy.
As he thought about it, although he was still quite impatient in his heart, the Marshal had always had a stern and paralyzed face, and others couldn't see his impatience now, only seeing him pick up the girl's call once in ten thousand years. Gift.
——At least that's what Mute, who was staring at this side eagerly at the moment, thought so.
At this moment, the boy looked like he had been struck by lightning.
The major general actually took it.
He actually reached out to take it!
This unscientific! He thought he would absolutely refuse!
And it's dessert! The major general obviously dislikes desserts with high sugar content!
Looking at the small box in the major general's hand and the happy smile of Sarah who had successfully delivered the gift, the teenager unconsciously clasped the back of the sofa tightly with his fingers.
He turned around slowly, sat cross-legged on the sofa, put his hands on his ankles, and lowered his head. The fine hair-tips were scattered in front of his eyes, and the shadow of his forehead made his eye sockets look a little deeper. The light shone on his side cheeks, and the shadow of fine forehead hair swayed on his drooping eyelashes.
The young man pursed his lips, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little wronged.
