I turned around and said to the eight shorthand masters in harmony: "Later, you go to rest with the housekeeper first, and I will look for you in the afternoon. Remember, you are not allowed to leave the room without my order, understand?"
"I understand." The expressions of these guys are very flat, and it can be seen that their psychological quality is good. It seems that the Beast Emperor has really worked hard to train them.
I saw the servants and female relatives around me still staring at me blankly, and suddenly said angrily: "What are you looking at here, what should you do?"
All of them suddenly fell to their knees at the same time and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the third young master for his promotion."
I couldn't help being angry and funny, this group of orcs were all snobbish people, when they saw that I was gaining power, they immediately flattered me. "Okay, get up, let's go." I waved impatiently, turned around and left the main courtyard first.
I ate something casually, and I didn't rest for a moment. When I came to the big room arranged by the butler, the eight people sent by the Beast Emperor saw me coming in, and immediately got up to salute.
This room is really big, about 70 square meters in size. There are beds for them to rest on both sides. There is a big table in front of each bed. There are papers and pens on it. I don’t know if they requested it themselves or the housekeeper prepared it. of.
I glanced at them and said: "Because of time constraints, the tasks for everyone today will be heavier. Since you are all masters of shorthand, I will speak very quickly later. You take turns to record. No rumors are allowed, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude. If you have asked the servants in the mansion, you should know what kind of person I am. Today’s task is for each of you to complete a book. Come in order, you, the first , After recording, tidy up by yourself." I called out a werewolf. Daqiao Shizhu refuted Na Naaijie Yuehe Lei Youai said: "Your Highness, you can start talking."
I pulled up a chair and sat down, thought for a while and said: "Remember clearly, the title of the book is "Continental Military Apocalypse", the content is divided into ten volumes, sixty-six chapters, the first chapter of the first volume..." These shorthand masters recorded what I recited, and I was surprised to find that their hands were very fast, which made me increase the speed of recitation again and again.
I spent the whole afternoon in this big house.
evening. ノSuspicious and faltering, said: "It's time to eat, let's come here today, you all performed very well, far beyond my expectations. I originally wanted to make eight copies, but I didn't expect you to be good at shorthand It’s so amazing, I’ve overfulfilled the task, and I’ll give you a good word in front of His Majesty.”
I was so excited to complete the record of 16 books that I praised people for the first time.
The eight shorthands were not excited because of my excitement, but stood up calmly and saluted me: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the promotion." A burst of fatigue struck, after all, I was too tired after using my brain all day.
"Go to bed early, and tell the servants what you want to eat." Out of the shorthand room, I went straight to my mother's bedroom. Ji Zhan Jiao Pazhong happened to meet the maid who came out of it. タBlowing the sedan chair, the maid hurriedly saluted: "Third young master."
"Has my mother eaten?"
"Just ate."
"Go on." I pushed the door open and walked into my mother's room. ツ Gaizuchi sat on the chair and stared at the two gems I gave her in a daze.
"Mother, here I come."
My mother looked up at me, her complexion was much better than yesterday, with a slight rosy glow. How are you feeling today? "
Mother looked at the two gemstones with some intoxication: "It is much better than before. These two stones are really magical, especially turquoise. I only heard that it can absorb the essence of nature and convert natural power into vitality. It is absolutely provided to those who are close to it and need it, but I did not expect it to be so miraculous. With this bloodstone, after only one day, I feel that my body is much better than before.”
It was the first time that my mother spoke so many words to me, and it seemed that her heart really had hope of resurrection. ノ Chair ⑿ Φ Collapsing the bones, it is of course useful that Ji Gunjue's affection for you has worked. "
My mother's gaze shifted from the gemstone to my face. The eyes were quite strange, and most of them were indifferent.
She sneered at me and said: "If I guessed correctly, you want to use me as a bargaining chip to invest in the Dragon God Empire, don't you? If you think so, you're totally wrong."
Intense anger gushed out of me, and I slapped the table heavily, the hard rosewood table turned into powder under the palm of my giant spirit. The originally dim lights were disturbed by the air current and flickered erratically.
My mother was not intimidated by my power at all, she raised her head and said, "Why, did I mention your sore spot? You orcs don't have a single good thing."
I took a deep breath and tried to calm down my excited mood. I was afraid that if this continued, it would cause me to go berserk.
"Mother, it doesn't matter if you insult my personality, but you can't insult my feelings for you. Yes, the Duke is very good to me, and he is planning to betroth his daughter to me. However, I have never forgotten that I was born in an orc family, although I am a mixed race, and I am also a bastard in the majority of the population, but I don't care. I want to use my actions to prove that I am the strongest."
I wiped the tears that fell unconsciously, and then said: "Yes, I admit that I like the life in the Dragon God Empire very much. There are simple folk customs, wise rule, and the people I love , they are all beckoning to me, if I want to stay there, I don't need you as my stepping stone. Do you know? I never told the Duke that I am your son. Because, I don't know, in your In my eyes, I am not considered your flesh and blood. However, what I want to tell you is that the one who raped you was King Beamon Leo, and the one who persecuted you was him and his concubines. What does this have to do with me? Why? Are you going to hate me from the beginning to the end?"
My mother visibly trembled when she heard this, and shouted at me excitedly: "Although you are not that beast, you are his offspring after all. Your birth has brought me all shame."
My expression calmed down, I was more sad than heartbroken, and I no longer had any illusions about my mother.
I said lightly: "Since you think so, then I won't say much. The biggest purpose of my return to the orcs this time is to help the Beast Emperor to unify the whole clan and make the entire orc clan gradually stronger. You know, the Beast Emperor has recognized me as his adopted son. If I want to please the Duke of Dragon God, will I do this? In a few days, I will leave here to do what I should do. Take care at home, if You still want to see Lin Feng again, so please take care of yourself. When I think you can, I will send you back. Finally, I want to say that I hate Leo just like you, because , It is because of him that the grandmother who loves me the most has left. Sending you back to the Dragon God Empire is just to fulfill the dream of you and the duke as lovers. I have no other purpose. You rest early, I am leaving .”
With an extremely depressed mood, I returned to my room. Without any rest, I immediately began to practice the Heavenly Demon Art, and only the dark magic power could calm me down.
In the early morning, I went to the palace with the 16 books I recorded yesterday. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, before I could speak, the guards stepped aside and said respectfully, "Please, Your Highness."
I asked in surprise: "Why, don't you need to pass it on?"
The leader of the guards humbly said: "No need, Your Majesty ordered that in the future, as long as His Highness comes to see you, you will be allowed to go. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study."
"Oh? Got it." Did the Beast Emperor really have no doubts about me? With doubts, I walked into the palace.
"Son, Lei Xiang, please see me."
"Come in."
I stepped into the imperial study room, and there was only the Beast Emperor in the room, and he seemed to be reviewing the memorial.
"Father, you came to me, but you don't know why?"
The Beast Emperor smiled and said: "It's nothing, our father and son should meet often and communicate more. Are you satisfied with the person I sent yesterday?"
I nodded and said, "Very satisfied, they are all first-class shorthand masters. You see, this is our achievement yesterday." Then, I handed over the recorded book.
The Beast Emperor said happily: "Don't be so anxious, you just returned to China, why don't you take more rest."
I scratched my head and said, "There are too many things waiting for me to do, it's better to finish them as soon as possible."
The Beast Emperor casually flipped through the records, his expression changing continuously. After a long time, he closed the file and said with a long breath, "No wonder the Dragon God is so powerful. The theories in these records are indeed unheard of. Lei Xiang, you Hui really made a great contribution, well, I will ask people to start using these things as teaching materials for training later."
He also said that I was anxious, he was no worse than me at all. "By the way, also, it's too inconvenient for you to work at home, and I have to ask someone to announce it to you. How about this, you can move to the palace, and we can discuss anything." The beast emperor paused After that, he said again. トMengyeqiao Imperial Palace, isn't this a bird in a cage? I said tactfully: "Father, forget it, I'm used to being wild, and moving here will easily break the rules of the palace."
The Beast Emperor smiled slightly and said: "Don't be afraid, I promise you don't have to abide by so many rules, so it's okay. By the way, since you have conflicts with your father's concubine, then let your mother also come in." , what I have here are good things, which will definitely satisfy your mother and child, and will also avoid unnecessary conflicts in the future."
Hearing what he said, my heart skipped a beat. Once the war on the front line is over, and Lei Hu finds his mother dead in my hands when he comes back, won't he fight me desperately? I can't do anything to him, even though I'm not afraid, but if he plots against his mother, it won't be worth the loss. Anyway, I will stay in the capital for a few days and go to suppress the bandits. I can't be locked up here. My mother can get better care here, so why not do it.
Thinking of this, I murmured: "In that case, I should thank my father first."
The Beast Emperor laughed, and said: "Father and son, why don't you say thank you? I'll ask someone to go back with you later, and you can move everything you need. Also, don't forget to bring your group of shorthand back. What did I do yesterday? I didn't expect to ask you to make a fuss again."
I bowed down and said: "Father, don't say that, you will kill your son and minister."
The Beast Emperor said: "There's nothing else to do, you move first today, and continue to record those things tomorrow." "
I returned to the palace with a group of guards from the palace. In fact, I didn’t have anything to move. The palace has all the daily necessities, and they are better than the original ones. I just need to bring the black dragon to pack a few clothes.
I came outside my mother's bedroom, took a deep breath, and decided that no matter how much she scolded me later, I would persuade her to enter the palace with me. Relatively safe place.
"Mother, here I come."
Unexpectedly, my mother actually responded: "Well, sit down."
I said flatly, "I'm here this time to let you move."
The mother smiled sadly and said, "I don't have a home, how can I talk about moving. Tell me, where do you want me to go."
Seeing my mother in pain, I felt uncomfortable: "It's like this, in order to make it easier for me to work, the Beast Emperor decided to let me live in the palace, and also asked you to go with me, after all, I just killed Lei Hu's Mother, this can avoid some unnecessary troubles." ツGazi raised her head, the eyes that looked at me were no longer so cold, she smiled and said: "Silly boy, you have been fooled." I didn't hear what she said at all, the eyes in my eyes Only her smile just now. ツGai Zi Cong Huang ⒒òZhu also has wrinkles on her face and looks very old, but from the smile just now, she can still vaguely see her demeanor back then.
"Ah! What did you say?"
The mother smiled again and said, "I just said, silly boy, you've been fooled."
She called me silly boy, she actually called me so kindly, I secretly pinched my thigh, the severe pain told me that this was not a dream.
I foolishly asked: "Why do you say I was fooled?"
The mother said indifferently: "Isn't this obvious? People are afraid that you won't work hard, so they specially invited me over. If you have any changes, then... you are a smart person, don't I need to say it?"
What my mother said immediately woke me up from my dream. Yes, after all, I am not the real son of the Beast Emperor. Why did people trust me so much and let me bring my mother into the palace? It turned out to be for this purpose.
I scratched my head and said: "So that's the case, why didn't I think of it, then you'd better not go, I'll tell the Beast Emperor."
The mother snorted coldly and said: "No, I will enter the palace with you, if I don't go with you, even if you tell the truth, people may not believe it, maybe they will take action against you immediately."
"Then isn't it safe for you to enter the palace?"
The mother smiled wryly and said: "There is nothing safe or insecure. Am I safe here? You can't stay by my side 24 hours a day. At least it is safe to enter the palace for the time being. Son, Jiang is still old and hot." , if you don’t understand anything in the future, you should ask me more, after all, I was also a talented woman in Tiandu Academy back then.”
Son, she actually called me son. I couldn't help but burst into tears, I fell to my knees with a plop, and wept bitterly: "Mother, you, are you finally willing to recognize me?"
My mother's eye circles were also red, she put her hand on my head, and said kindly for the first time: "Son, I figured it out last night, you are right, what is wrong with you, it is only him who is wrong, I I shouldn't blame you, mother has wronged you for so many years. From now on, mother will definitely make it up to you."
After listening to my mother's words, I lay on her knees and cried like a child, fully venting the depression in my heart in the crying. ツ Gai Muwei kept dripping on my head, her hands were so warm, so warm. ツGo, the thing I wanted the most, came when I thought there was no hope.
After a long time, the crying stopped, I suddenly raised my head, wiped away the tears on my mother's face, and said firmly: "Mother, I swear to you, even if it costs me my life, I will help you fulfill your wish, forever and ever I don’t want to see you shed tears of pain and humiliation, I will make you the happiest mother in the world.”
My mother held my arms, and tears flowed down again: "My good boy, get up quickly, help your mother clean up, and let's enter the palace right away. Once I enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea. I don't know if I will have a chance." Come out again."
I stood up, supported my mother and said, "Don't worry. The palace can't trap us. I plan to use three years to make the beastman country stronger. Three years later, today is the time when we leave. Nobody can stop it."
"Okay, let's not say more, have you packed your own things?"
I nodded and said: "It's finished. I think you should be the same as me. In this house, what can we take away? To be honest, if it's not that I don't want to go out naked, I really don't want to take anything .”
Mother didn't say anything, she carefully took the two gems I gave her into her arms, and said, "Okay, let's go."
Seeing that she didn't take anything, I couldn't help being taken aback, and said, "Don't you bring some change of clothes?"
The mother smiled and shook her head and said, "Now the Beast Emperor needs you, and he can still treat me badly, let's go." Although this is just a trivial matter, it can still be seen that the mother who has recovered hope is still wiser than me.
When I got out of my mother's room, I called the housekeeper and told me, "I won't be coming back for the time being. When my father comes back, tell me the truth about my murder of the ugly woman."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
"Mom, let's go." I carefully sent my mother to the car, rode on the black dragon, and walked out of the Beamon Palace. I looked back at this place where I had lived for more than ten years, and there was a feeling that I never wanted to go in again. . Maybe coming out of here is a kind of relief for my mother and me.
In the imperial palace, the Beast Emperor ordered someone to arrange a place for us. It is a large separate courtyard, only four maids are serving, and the guards are all around. The environment is quiet and elegant, and there are many kinds of plants planted.
My mother smiled at me and said in a low voice: "It seems that you are of great value in the eyes of the beast king. In the beastman clan, even a real prince may not be treated as you are."
"Isn't it better for me to work for him? But that's fine, in this environment, it is more suitable for you to recuperate. By the way, mother, I have never asked you, before Tiandu College, did you Have you learned magic or martial arts?"
While looking at the surrounding environment, my mother shook her head and said, "No, I mainly studied literature, history and etiquette in Tiandu College. Lin Feng should have told you that I was the princess of the empire at that time, and I studied things about fighting and killing. , what use is it to me. If I have high-strength kung fu, how can I... oh..." ノアライスナォ has never learned it. That's great. "
The mother said in surprise: "What's so good about it, it's just that you are an extra burden."
"Don't say that. What I said is good because you haven't learned any martial arts or magic. If I use magic to heal you, I won't be afraid of conflicts."
"Magic healing? Can you still use light magic? It doesn't look like it to me."
I smiled mysteriously and said: "You will know later. Well, you don't need to serve here, you all go down."
I always feel awkward with maids standing around, besides, who knows if they are here to spy on us.
Seeing the maids go down, I silently practiced the Heavenly Demon Art, and after making sure that there was no one around, I whispered, "Mother, what I know is not light magic, but dark magic."
It's actually dark magic, but I didn't want my mother to know that I would become a fallen angel, so I said it was dark magic on purpose. ツGai looked at me strangely and said, "Dark magic?"
"Yes, dark magic also has many recovery techniques. Given your current situation, it may be more useful. I also learned it by accident. Regardless of whether it is effective or not, I will teach you some methods of fighting qi. You can use it every day. Practicing helps to circulate qi and blood, and I will definitely use the shortest time to restore your body."
The mother smiled kindly, and said: "Let's do everything according to fate, I will just listen to your arrangement."
"Time is running out, I won't be here with you after a while, let's start now." I took my mother to the room, let her sit cross-legged, and said: "No matter what discomfort you have later, you You must be patient. I will control the size." ツ Gai Zhuixian's eyes, said: "Come on. Let me see how powerful my son's dark magic is."
Due to nervousness, my forehead was slightly sweating. Killing people with magic and vindictiveness is what I am best at, but it is the first time to save people, and this time it is my mother, so I have to be cautious. .
I took a deep breath, calmed my emotions, and sang: "At the cost of my life, with my soul as a sacrifice, the great god of darkness, as your servant, I beg you, give me the power of darkness that you save .”
This is the fourth-level recovery magic of darkness—the cultivation of darkness. According to the Tianmo Jue, this magic can restore all abnormal states and adjust the physical condition. It's my first time using it, so be careful. A purple-black energy ball concentrated in my hand, and I took a small part and slowly injected it into my mother's body to observe her condition.
My mother trembled all over, and her face became pale. I quickly put my other hand on top of her head to check the condition inside her. ツGaishiki veins are very fragile, and even such a small amount of magical energy is very difficult to move through her body. グ达修 This magic is really good. Although it runs slowly, I found that every time it runs through a meridian, it will repair the meridian like a normal person, expand the meridian and increase the elasticity of the meridian, making it not easy to break .
I withdrew the other dark magic power, put my hands against my mother's vest, and pushed the small amount of energy that had been input into my mother's body to run slowly. After the exhibition, I realized that it was already dark. ゾ拉裎业身跣苣裎骨骨窬带察话, a lot of black juice oozes from the mother's body, the smell...
It wasn't long after I received the exercises, and my mother let out a long breath: "Ah, it's so comfortable."
I hurriedly asked, "How do you feel?"
The mother opened her eyes, moved her hands, and exclaimed, "Oh, it's so uncomfortable."
Her exclamation really startled me, and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
Mother said: "Don't worry, I'm not feeling well, but look at this dirty thing, what's going on?"
After hearing what she said, I felt relieved and explained: "It's nothing, it's normal. I used magic to force out some of the toxins accumulated in your body, and you'll be fine after taking a bath."
"oh."
I shouted loudly: "Come here."
Following the sound of footsteps, two maids ran in. Although the room smelled overwhelming, they didn't respond, and said respectfully, "What's your Highness's order?"
I looked at my mother's distressed appearance, and said with a chuckle: "You guys help my mother to take a bath, and then prepare some food and make up for it."
A maid took two steps forward and said, "Hot water is readily available, madam, let us help you."
The mother got out of bed by herself and said, "Don't help me. I haven't felt so comfortable for a long time. It turns out that my chest always feels congested, but it's much better now."
I smiled and said: "This is just the beginning. I still need to treat you a few more times. However, your meridians are still relatively fragile. I'm afraid you won't be able to take it. Let's talk about it in a few days."
"It's been so many years, I'm not in a hurry, take me to take a shower, it's so sticky and uncomfortable." It may be because the two knots of the Duke and I have been untied one after another, and my mother has become a lot more cheerful.
After my mother took a bath, I found that her pale face was gone, replaced by rosy, even the wrinkles seemed to be much less, and her thin body seemed to be stronger.
This night, I slept very soundly. Sahutian, I have started a busy life. I have to complete a certain number of books with those shorthands every day. At the same time, with the cooperation of the Beast Emperor, I will choose the candidates who will go with me and the candidates for the Beast God Envoy, and assist the Beast Emperor Train them.
half a month later...
"Let me tell my father, my son has already translated all the things memorized from the Dragon God Empire, time is tight, I want to set out to suppress the bandits as soon as possible." Standing in the imperial study, I reported to the Beast Emperor.
"Okay, I basically scanned the things you translated, and they are all very useful. How many people are you going to bring with you this time?"
I smiled slightly and said, "Just take the twenty people I chose. Haven't you rewarded them to me as guards?"
The Beast Emperor said in surprise: "Just take a few people there, it's too few. You also know the number of bandits."
I replied confidently: "Although there are many bandits, most of them are mobs. Besides, there are very few large groups of bandits. They are all separated. We only need to defeat them individually. If there is a large group of bandits that cannot be dealt with, I will also May I ask you for help?"
The Beast Emperor thought for a while and said: "Okay, but you must be careful. You must know that it is impossible for you to use local manpower for this operation. Everything depends on yourself. If there is danger, even if I send troops, I’m afraid that the water in the distance can’t quench the thirst in the near, so you have to be extra careful. Get ready and set off in three days.”
I knelt down and kowtowed and said: "My son complies with the decree." The marsh has started my killing journey. No matter what, I will wipe out all the bandits and remove these cancerous tumors for the orc people.
My mother is practicing the Prime Wheel Dou Qi that I taught her in the yard. This kind of Dou Qi is not very powerful, but it is very good for recuperation. It is the most useful for my mother. from.
Over the past few days, my mother's physical condition has improved qualitatively compared to before, her face is ruddy and shiny, her skin has regained a certain degree of elasticity, and she no longer looks so old.
After more than ten days of getting along, the distance between me and my mother is constantly growing. I am deeply moved by her meticulous care for me. I finally realized what true maternal love is.
I would discuss everything with my mother before making a decision. I admire my mother's intelligence and wisdom. ツ Gai Zi heard the sound of footsteps, slowly stopped, closed his eyes and said, "Xiang'er, are you back?"
"Yes, mother, why don't you practice anymore?"
The mother opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Practice is not something that can be done overnight. It is best to proceed step by step. If you act too hastily, you will easily go mad. You must keep this sentence in mind."
I nodded and said, "Yes, I will keep it in mind."
My mother stood up and said, "Let's go back to the room and talk." Maybe it was because I was about to leave, but my mother always had a sad look on her face. After leaving the room, my mother motioned me to sit down: "Have you set a date yet?"
"Yes, the Beast Emperor ordered me to leave in three days. I decided to take the twenty guards with me."
The mother nodded and said: "That's fine, it's easier to do things with fewer people. However, you have to pay attention to safety, be cautious in everything, and go all out even in the face of a very weak opponent."
"I understand the reason why the lion fights the rabbit, don't worry. I'll prepare first, and I will give you the exercises tomorrow."
"Go. I'm fine. These days, I seem to have regained my vitality. It seems that there is still hope for you to restore my original appearance."
"Mother, I'm leaving then."
