In the Emperor Star System, following the incident of conquest of the Mia family, the fleets of various noble warlords around the galaxy have also left one after another. The restriction order was lifted, the trade route was reopened, and the Emperor Star returned to its usual prosperity and tranquility. Countless ships took off and landed frequently on the Emperor Star again.
It was already late at night, and there were slightly fewer ships in the constant stream, but there were still many. At this moment, a cruiser slowly passed by the side of Emperor Star. One of the two pilots in the ship was driving the cruiser intently, while the other was busy scanning the nearby area with radar to see if there were any abnormalities.
Suddenly, with a beep, a corner of the radar screen twisted. Looking at the position, not far from his own ship, the soldier subconsciously raised his head and glanced out at the glass cover in front of him.
Seeing this, his pupils contracted forcefully, and he looked forward stupidly, his mouth opened wide and he didn't close it for a long time.
"You, you see—"
He turned his head stiffly, grabbed his companion's hand, and stuttered badly.
"Man - there's a man ahead - in space!"
The companion who was caught looked up and felt baffled.
"Who is there?"
"There! It's there! There's a man flying in space! He's not wearing a space suit! He's alive, and he even took a look at me!"
The man tried his best to point it out to his companions, but when he turned around, the front of the ship was empty, and there was an endless starry sky in the universe. In the dark starry sky, there were only a little dust and fine stones flying past.
The man stared, almost bulging out.
"How could it be? There was a living person just now—"
"How is it possible that someone can stay alive in the universe, are you dozing off and dreaming?"
"Ah... uh..."
The soldier rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then took another look at the empty starry sky in front of him, feeling a little uncertain.
"may be… "
He said blankly.
His companion laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, let's go back to rest after patrolling early, there is still half an hour, cheer up, stop dreaming."
"Um… "
The soldier patted his head to cheer himself up. He thought that he really dozed off accidentally, otherwise how could he see such an unimaginable thing like a living person staying in the vacuum of the universe.
...
The cruiser sailed slowly, and at a place extremely far away from it, a stream of blue light flashed across the pitch-black cosmic starry sky.
… [not here]… …
... ... ...
[answer me.]
… [Where are you]… …
... ... ...
Mutt originally thought that staying with Major General Troll in his capacity as Gar, or as an imperial soldier serving as a staff officer, would cause great disputes. I am afraid it will take a long time, and he may have to fight with the major forces on the planet. After fighting openly and secretly, and you coming and going countless times, his identity can be recognized.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Via made a move, he solved his problem in less than a week.
After that, people came to see Major General Troll one after another. Although many people still looked at him with resistance, they stopped looking at him with vigilance and rejection. Mute, who was extremely surprised by this result, finally couldn't help asking Via what he had done, and why it was so easy for others to agree.
"it's actually really easy."
Via replied.
"A beast that kills people will make people feel scared, but if this beast is a pet raised by people, it will make people feel much less fearful and repulsive." He slightly lowered his head and said, "Please forgive my offense, But it's the best way to handle it right now."
"If your Excellency Major General wants to protect a Jia, it will inevitably cause panic among the public. But from another perspective, as long as you tell everyone that Your Excellency Major General has subdued a Jia and makes him a subordinate who obeys him, then the public will subconsciously think that since Your Excellency Major General If you can subdue Jia, then you must have the instinct to control Jia, so as long as there is a major general with them, they don’t need to worry.”
Mutt curled his lips.
Via didn't say the whole thing, but Mute also guessed what he didn't say. Indeed, this statement is not only useful, but also of great benefit to the major general.
If everyone thinks that Major General Troll wants to protect a Jia, then Major General will be hated by everyone.
But if everyone knows that Major General Troll has taken a Jia under his command, then everyone will only be impressed by the strength of the Major General. Even a terrifying monster like Jia is willing to submit to him, which will further enhance the reputation of the Major General.
For example, if there is a bloodthirsty wild wolf wandering freely in a territory, then everyone living in the territory will feel insecure and hostile to the lord who is unwilling to drive away this dangerous beast. But if they know that this is not a wild wolf, but a powerful help subdued by their lord, not only will it not harm them, but also protect the territory, they will naturally not be afraid of it, but will respect the lord even more.
Mutt didn't care about what Via claimed. He didn't really care about the so-called reputation. If this kind of statement can help the major general, then use it.
And he was originally a subordinate of the major general, wasn't he? There was nothing wrong with Via saying that he was a subordinate of Major General Troll.
Although the matter about Mutt was resolved smoothly, Major General Troll seemed to be busy too, going out early and returning late every day, hardly seeing anyone every day. But no matter how late he came back, the major general would go to Mutt's room.
He seemed to like to hug Mute from behind, holding her whole body in his arms, making Mute's back close to his chest, and gently rubbing his chin against the soft black hair. Sometimes in the middle of the night, while half awake and half asleep, Mute could feel someone kissing his forehead and the tips of his ears lightly, and the warm breath passed over the tips of his ears, tickling.
More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and Emperor Star sent a message. The emperor ordered Major General Troll to go to Emperor Star to have an audience. He was to be rewarded for his achievements and promoted to admiral.
Now is not the time to tear yourself apart from the royal family, and the rank of admiral can indeed bring greater benefits to Troll, so Major General Troll decided to go to the Emperor Star—presumably the royal family will not use the just now on their own territory. How about the rewarded general.
Troll did not take Mute with him. After all, if Mute appeared on Emperor Star again, it would cause great commotion, and Mute himself was not happy to go to the place where he had a nightmare like experience on Emperor Star. So this time, when the Major General was heading towards the Emperor Star in Ishtar, Mutt stayed alone on the Forna Star.
—
It was night, the sky was full of stars, the stars illuminated the earth, and also fell on the young man lying on the bed through the skylight.
Mute tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, but didn't feel sleepy at all. To be exact, since the major general left, I haven't slept well in the past few nights. In just a short dozen days, he got used to the temperature on his back, the hands that hugged him tightly, and the chin that lightly rubbed against the top of his head.
And for some reason, he seemed to be having the same dream all the time during this time. It was okay when the major general was around, but the dream was not very clear. Now that the major general left, the dream immediately became more frequent. But every time he wakes up, he can't remember what he dreamed of, but only vaguely remembers that there seems to be a voice calling him constantly.
He turned over again, but still couldn't fall asleep, so he sat up a little restlessly, looking up at the skylight above his head.
Fragments of starlight sprinkled on his face and in his pitch-black pupils, making his eyes seem to be flickering with fragments of light. The night was so good, Mutter stared blankly at the starry sky over the skylight for a while, thinking that he couldn't sleep anyway, so why not go out and look at the night sky.
Thinking of this, he got up from the bed, went downstairs, went out, and walked into the courtyard.
The grass is still green in the night, and the night dew remains on their grass leaves. When the breeze passes by, the green leaves shake, and the dewdrops drip from their leaf tips on the ground.
Mute stood on the green grass, looking up at the sky.
He saw the pitch-black night sky spread out endlessly, and the stars all over the sky were hanging on the black curtain, shining brightly. The cool night wind brushed past his cheeks, lifted his forehead hair, scraped the corners of his clothes, took away the heat from his body, and slowly calmed down his restless mood.
He stood quietly under the night sky for a long time, looked at the beautiful starry sky, took a few mouthfuls of air with a sweet smell, and felt that his mood was also relieved.
It's late, it's time to go back to bed.
With that in mind, Mute turned around and wanted to go back to the bedroom. However, the moment he just turned around, a sudden and powerful idea flooded into his consciousness like a sea current.
… [are you here]…
Who.
Mut subconsciously covered his head with both hands.
Someone is speaking, it is not a voice, but an idea that appears directly in his mind.
who is it
… [found it]…
Mute suddenly remembered that this voice was in his dreams every night, and it sounded in his dreams again and again, calling him again and again.
It's just that in the dream, the call was vague and seemed very far away, but now it was extremely clear, penetrating deeply into his consciousness.
Wave after wave of thoughts surged over and surrounded him.
It was an idea that suddenly flooded into his consciousness, but it was not disgusting. It felt like he was standing on the beach, and the warm sea water surged up to wrap him in it. The soft sea water gently Rushing over his skin, she hugged him tenderly.
The sea water surrounded him and entangled him softly, but it didn't make people feel scared. On the contrary, there was a sense of familiarity and intimacy, just like returning to your hometown, where the wind of your hometown brushed your cheeks, and the flood of your hometown flooded your face. against your skin.
It was an indescribably reassuring and warm feeling.
Starlight sprinkled the earth.
Someone landed on the ground.
Mutt looked up and saw the figure floating in the air.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, his hands were still placed next to his ears, and a wave of air flowed past him, causing his pitch-black hair to fly up.
In the pitch-black starry sky with thousands of stars, the snow-like white hair fluttered in the dark night, the roots were clear, and the snow white was almost translucent. The white-haired boy was suspended under the night, his slender body wrapped in light blue patterned clothes, and his limbs stretched out in the dark night had a graceful arc like a white deer.
He was suspended in the night sky, and countless tiny stars flickered behind him.
The night was light, and the wind seemed to have stopped at this moment, and it was silent.
His body was surrounded by invisible air currents, making his short snow-white hair dance endlessly in the dark night. The light blue cloak fluttered behind him, a trace of the rippling water, the shimmering water surface, and the phosphorescence under the moon, unfolding a soft and graceful arc.
It is obviously a snow-white tone that is almost the extreme opposite of the night, but it is strangely integrated with the night, as if this person was born among thousands of stars.
An invisible air current surrounded the snow-like hair on his cheeks, and the skin on his cheeks seemed to glow faintly in the air, giving it a wonderful sense of beauty. Occasionally, a light blue stream of light surrounded him, like traces of running water.
He was suspended in the night sky, looking down at Mutt.
His pupils were like ice-blue gems in the dark, and ice-blue streamers flowed from the edge of his iris, as if he had sucked out all the brilliance.
Looking at those eyes, it was like seeing the blue planet that has been quietly rotating in the starry sky for thousands of years.
"Don't be afraid."
It was a voice that seemed to be heard in a dream, with infinite gentleness, like water waves flowing into the bottom of my heart.
"Here I come," he said. "No human being can hurt you again."
The young boy with white hair like snow fell from the sky, and the light blue cloak behind him fluttered up as he fell, like the soft and rippling water waves of the sea under the night.
He fell from the sky, facing Mutt standing on the ground.
He stared at Mutt on the ground with shining eyes like an ocean, and he stretched out his hand gently in the dark night.
"Meet you for the first time, my countrymen."
He says,
"I'll take you to Jia's Paradise."
