Bai Jian cast a resentful glance at me, turned his head away, and after a while, walked into the mother's room with a plate of food. There were small voices in the room.
Bai Jiandao: "Mom, why didn't you sleep all night, let's eat something first."
The mother sighed, and said: "You guys knelt outside all night, how could I fall asleep, I thought a lot that night, the knot of Leo in my heart could not be untied, I couldn't think at all Forgive his thoughts, are Xiang'er and Yue'er still outside?"
Bai Jiandao: "Well, they are still kneeling there. Mom, even if you don't forgive King Bimon, you can still go to see him. He is going to die. You can't keep hating a dead man forever. Go and see him, Maybe you'll feel better psychologically."
Mother didn't speak for a while, and there was no sound of her eating, presumably she was lost in thought again.
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from outside, "Report, I have an urgent request to see His Excellency Prince Rui." Bai Jian walked out of his mother's room, and I motioned her to see what's going on, how am I doing now? To see people. Bai Jian nodded and walked out. Almost as soon as she went out, she ran back in a hurry, shouting as she ran: "Lei Xiang, it's not good, your father is worse than King Meng, and he is already dying. , your elder brother Thunder Dragon told you to hurry over."
I was taken aback. Didn't my father say yesterday that he could last for three days? Why did it fail so soon? I immediately practiced all my pulses and stood up with support. Hearing Bai Jian's call, Mo Yue also woke up. I helped her to stand up too, and shouted to my mother's room: " Mom, if father dies, are you going to see him or not?"
There was no answer from the mother's dormitory, and I felt a chill in my heart. It seems that my mother has made up her mind not to see my father again. There is nothing I can do about my mother's decision. I sighed and said to Mo Yue: "Yue Son, you go with me, always let father see his daughter-in-law before he dies."
Mo Yue nodded meekly, and said, "Honey, don't worry, let's go there now."
I turned my head and said to Bai Jian: "Sister Jian'er, help me take care of my mother, Mo Yue and I have to hurry over to see father, I will trouble you here."
Bai Jian nodded and said: "Okay, don't talk so much, you go quickly."
I pulled Mo Yue and ran out of the mansion quickly, and I didn't care about shocking the world. Along the way, the two of us were lucky enough to run towards the Behemoth Palace at full speed.
At the gate of Prince Beamon's mansion, a large number of soldiers of the Wild Lion Legion gathered. Seeing their vigilance, I knew that the Beast Emperor must have gotten the news and rushed over in person. As soon as they saw me, they immediately got out of the way and rushed towards me. I bowed and saluted, I didn't have time to say hello to them, so I dragged Mo Yue straight in, and went straight to my father's bedroom.
The defense around my father's bedroom was even tighter. A large number of Beamon soldiers and Wild Lion Legion soldiers were guarding the door. Mo Yue and I walked over, and a lion man at the captain level of the Wild Lion Army stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Highness! , you are here."
I nodded and asked: "Is the father over here?" He nodded and said: "Your Majesty has been in for a while."
Mo Yue and I walked into the dormitory, the eldest brother Lei Long was standing beside his father's bed, constantly wiping the tears from his face with his big hands, while the Beast Emperor was holding his father's hand, with a look of pain on his face. Seeing me coming in, he hurriedly greeted me: "Xiang'er, you are here, come here quickly, your father is about to lose his hold."
I hurriedly walked over with Mo Yue, the Beast Emperor looked Mo Yue up and down, and said: "This is Mo Yue, the little princess of the Demon Race."
Mo Yue obediently saluted: "I have seen His Majesty the Beast Emperor."
The Beast Emperor nodded. I didn't care about them. I sat beside my father's bed. His face was covered with gray energy, and his whole body exuded a breath of death. "Father, how are you?"
The father barely opened his eyes and said, "You are here, where is your mother? Is she not willing to come to see me?"
I lowered my head and didn't answer. "Forget it, since she... refuses to come, then... forget it, I... don't... expect her... to forgive... me, child... from now on... you... have to take good care of... your mother, her, her... In this life... I have suffered... I have suffered... a lot...." The father's face did not show the fear of death, but was exceptionally peaceful.
Seeing him like this, my tears flowed down unconsciously. At this moment, I suddenly felt a wave of energy behind me. It seemed that there was a powerful breath coming towards me. I turned around suddenly and saw a gray shadow He flashed in from the door and rushed towards the Beast Emperor. From the aura on his body, I quickly discerned that it was the energy of death, and I shouted angrily, and the mad god's grudge came out in response, and struck him violently.
The gray shadow froze, gray mist emerged from his body, and immediately collided with the golden light from me. I felt my whole body shake. A blow blasted out the door, and the whole room trembled.
The Beast Emperor quickly grabbed my arm and said, "Lei Xiang, don't do it, it's my own."
I glanced at him in surprise, "My own?"
The gray shadow floated in from the outside again, his voice was low and piercing, "Prince Rui is so powerful, I almost can't handle it anymore. Your Majesty, I saw the instructions you left as soon as I returned to the palace, and rushed over quickly. What happened?" What's the matter?"
The Beast Emperor introduced to me: "This is the long shadow of my personal bodyguard. He is a necromancer. I originally sent him to find Princess Moyue for the Demon Emperor. As soon as I heard that your father was cursed by the undead, I recruited him immediately." Come back, maybe, he will have a way or maybe. Shadow, show yourself."
My heart was shocked. It turned out that there was such a person beside the Beast Emperor. Since he was a necromancer, his strength must be not low. The gray figure of the necromancer appeared in a flash. His whole body was covered under a big black cloak, his head was lowered so that I couldn't see his face, and he was holding a long wooden staff in his hand. Carved with many gray traces, it seems to be something like a spell, and the whole body exudes a cold aura. Although I don't have a good impression of him, but I heard that the beast emperor said that he might heal my father's injury, so I hurriedly stood up and said : "Please take a look for my father, please."
Shadow nodded, his body floated, and flew to the bedside, where his father had passed out again. A skinny hand stretched out from under the black cloak, grabbed his father's hand, and the gray aura immediately enveloped his father's whole body. Mo Yue and Beast Emperor both seemed to be suffering, and stepped back at the same time. Big brother Thunder Dragon emitted There was a faint green light, and although there was a sad look on his face, he still insisted on not leaving the spot. It should be that the turquoise I gave him worked. Under the gray light, my father looked like a lifeless corpse. It looks very strange.
After a while, the shadow withdrew his hand, and the gray mist was sucked back by him again. There was a hint of surprise in his voice, "What a powerful curse, the necromancer that King Leo met should have the strength close to that of a high-level necromancer. Moreover, this curse has penetrated into King Leo's body, the curse has been completed, and there is nothing I can do about it."
I grabbed his cloak and said anxiously, "Is there no hope at all?"
Shadow shook his head and said: "Unless there are necromancers, there may be a chance of survival, but that is impossible. There are no necromancers in this world. You should prepare for King Leo's funeral. If King Leo had told about his physical condition earlier, maybe I could have helped him prolong his life, but now, it's too late."
I felt a chill all over my body, and stared blankly at the shadow floating to the Beast Emperor, who led him out. There was a trace of blood on my father's face, and his eyes slowly opened. I hurried over and said, "Dad, are you feeling better?"
Seeing my anxious look, my father moved his hand, and I quickly grabbed his big hand. My father smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Son, don't do this, our Behemoth warriors only shed blood but not tears, no matter what kind of creature it is." , I’m always going to die, call your elder brother over here.” Although my father’s voice became clearer, I knew that he was coming back to life, and he was about to die.
Lei Long heard his father's call, and hurriedly sat over, crying: "Father."
Father said: "From now on, our Behemoth family will rely on you, Thunder Dragon. If you encounter any troubles in the future, or if you can't make a decision, you can find your brother. His brain is better and his strength has surpassed mine. I can help you a lot. Lei Xiang, although you don’t have the appearance of a Beamon warrior, and I have never liked you very much, but you are the most outstanding of my three sons, Leo. What's the trouble, you must not stand idly by, can you promise me?"
I kept nodding my head and said, "Father, don't worry, our Bimeng tribe will definitely flourish in the hands of big brother. Mo Yue, come here quickly, and let father see you."
Mo Yue sat beside me and said, "Uncle, hello."
I grabbed Mo Yue's little hand with my other hand, and said to my father, "Dad, she is your daughter-in-law, Mo Yue."
The father's originally dim eyes brightened a little, rolled his eyes, looked at Mo Yue and said, "Well, what a beautiful girl, son, you have a good eye, this child's appearance is not inferior to your mother's when she was young. "When the mother was mentioned, the father's expression was a little regretful.
I said to Mo Yue: "Yue'er, call me father."
Mo Yue glanced at me and said to her father, "Father."
A tear flowed from the corner of the father's eyes, "Hey, I am satisfied to have such a well-behaved daughter-in-law like you before I die, Lei Xiang, you must treat others well in the future, don't be like me, I..."
"dad… "
…
outside the door.
The shadow said to the Beast Emperor: "Your Majesty, I haven't found any demon princess."
The Beast Emperor said: "You don't need to look for it, she is inside, it was Lei Xiang who brought her back."
"Your Majesty, didn't Hydra and the others say that Lei Xiang had been captured by the Holy Dragon Knights of the Dragon God Empire? Why did he come back again?"
The Beast Emperor smiled and said: "I'm so happy that he can come back. This kid is more loyal to me now than before. It seems that I was right to trust him."
The shadow said: "Your Majesty, you have to be careful with him. When I fought against him just now, I found that his skill has improved a lot. I can no longer see him through like before. Now, I can only describe him as unfathomable." Strength."
The Beast Emperor said confidently: "His power is only good for me. I believe in his loyalty to me. It's a pity that Brother Leo is leaving. Otherwise, our Beastman Kingdom will definitely be stronger."
Shadow sighed, and said, "It's true that there are others out there. King Leo was seriously injured. The necromancer who cursed him back then is much stronger than me."
While they were talking, a messenger from the Wild Lion Legion suddenly ran in from outside.
"Your Majesty, a lady and a girl from the White Fox tribe came outside. The lady said that she is the mother of Prince Rui and wanted to come in to see Lord Beamon."
The Beast Emperor was overjoyed and said, "Please hurry up."
"Yes." The orderly ran away to remove it.
The Beast Emperor said to himself: "She is still here, this time, Brother Lei Ao can rest in peace."
…
The blood on the father's face gradually faded, and his voice became indistinct again. The eldest brother Thunder Dragon immediately cried bitterly on his father's body, and my tears continued to stay. At this time, the door opened, and I turned my head to look, and saw the Beast Emperor and mother walking in side by side, I immediately cried to my father: "Dad, hold on, Mom is coming to see you."
Hearing my shout, my father's body trembled, and the eyes that had been gradually closed opened again. He looked at me blankly and said, "She... came... here, where... where... in."
My mother walked over with a blank face, glanced at me first, then bent down, and looked at my father. When she saw his father, her whole body was shocked, and a drop of crystal tears immediately fell on his hand.
"You, how did you become like this?"
With a smile on his face, the father said: "You, you... still... come..., so... well, this... next..., I... can... die... without... complaining...."
Tears flowed down my mother's face, and she looked at her father with complicated expressions in her eyes.
"Lei... Xiang... he... mother, thank you... you, thank... thank you... come... see... I, I... know, I... what I... did... at the beginning... can't... pardon... but... yes ... , I... want to... tell... you, this... is... what I... all my... life... do... the most... regret... one... thing, it is... I, it is... I... ruined... your... life... …happiness… if, if… if there is… afterlife…, I… will… do… cows do… horses… repay… give… you. Although… I don’t… know… cows… and horses… are… what… things , but... this is... what you... humans... often say...."
Mother yelled sadly: "You, don't say any more."
The father still looked at his mother with a smile, and said: "Lei... Xiang... his mother, are you... crying... for me... I'm... too happy... happy, I, I, I... want... to be with you ...Further...the last...the last...three...words." The father's voice was already very weak, he struggled to keep his eyes from closing, and his lips trembled: "Yes, yes... no... together..." The voice sounded The last two drops of tears in his life slipped from the corners of his eyes on both sides. Although the tears flowed, his father went with a smile.
Lei Long and I fell on my father and wept loudly, Mo Yue also kept crying. The mother's body shook for a while, and she murmured: "Do I really still hate you that much? Why did you just go like this? Human life is too fragile. Leo, Leo, wake me up, wake up , I forgive you." The mother shook the father's body crazily. However, how can the life that has passed away be revived again? All of this is already irreparable.
The Beast Emperor stood beside the bed, tears streaming down his face. The reason why he can sit on the current throne is inseparable from the support of Beamon King Leo. Leo has been doing his best to help him all his life.
…
Seven days later, the first warrior of the orcs, the first warrior of Beamon, King Leo of Beamon was buried in the soil with the ceremony of national funeral. During these seven days, my eldest brother Thunder Dragon and I did not leave father's body for a single day until he was buried in the ground today. Hero I's father just passed away, and I always feel extremely sad in my heart.
Under the leadership of the Beast Emperor, the patriarchs of the various clans of the Beastman Clan, I, my mother, Brother Thunder Dragon, and Mo Yue stood in front of my father's mausoleum and prayed silently for him.
After a long time, the Beast Emperor turned around and said in a loud voice: "Bimeng King Leo has dedicated his whole life to my orc clan. It can be said that he has dedicated himself and died. He is a role model for my orc clan. I declare that Leo, the King of Behemoth, was posthumously named the King of Loyalty and Eternity in the Beastman Kingdom, and the title of Behemoth King was inherited by Lei Long, the deputy commander of the Behemoth Legion, and became the new King of Behemoth."
Brother Lei Long took a step forward with a blank expression, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Thank you for your grace."
The Beast Emperor personally helped Brother Lei Long up, and said: "Nephew, please forgive me, Brother Lei Ao has already left, and his heavy burden will be handed over to you in the future."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will definitely devote all my energy to the growth of the orcs just like my father."
The Beast Emperor nodded in satisfaction, and sighed: "Brother Lei Ao's untimely death is the biggest loss to our Beastman Kingdom. The order will go on. Starting today, the Beastman Kingdom will enter the national mourning period."
…
I helped my mother back to my Prince Rui's mansion. On the way, my mother didn't say a word. Back in my mother's dormitory, my mother said to me: "Son, starting from today, I will keep vigil for your father for a hundred days. During this time, I don't want to see anyone except Jian'er who will take care of my daily life."
I was about to say something, but my mother stopped me, "Go out. Don't you still have to go to Pan Zong and the others, go and do it."
I sighed, walked out of the room, and told Bai Jian about my mother's vigil. Mo Yue took my hand and said, "Honey, don't be sad."
…
Three days later, I came to the Beast Emperor Palace to see the Beast Emperor.
"Xiang'er, you're here." Beast Emperor looked at me haggard, with a concerned expression on his face. "Don't be sad, although your father is gone, you still have your father, if you have any request, just ask, father will definitely satisfy you."
I shook my head and said, "Father, I want to find Big Brother Panzong and the others. Then I will go to the Demon Race."
The Beast Emperor said: "That's fine, it's better to go out for a walk than to be bored here. You go to the Demon Race to propose marriage to the Demon Emperor."
I nodded. I have already made an agreement with Mo Yue, because of my father's death, I don't want to get married right away, so I decided to seek the consent of the Demon Emperor first, and then formally marry her a year later, Mo Yue also agreed. "Yue'er has been away from the Demon Race for a long time. I have to send her back. Brother Panzong and the others retreated for me. I have regained my freedom. Naturally, I have to inform them."
The Beast Emperor said: "Okay. Wait a minute." He picked up the pen and wrote in a hurry. After a while, he wrote a letter. He packed the letter and handed it to me: "Give this to the Demon Emperor." , with Father making the decision for you, he should not make things difficult for you, this journey is not close, so you have to be careful along the way."
I took the letter and said, "Father, thank you."
The Beast Emperor smiled and said: "We are father and son, what can we thank you for, would you like Father to prepare some betrothal gifts for you?"
I shook my head and said, "No need, I will prepare these myself. By the way, Father, there is one more thing I need to ask for your permission."
Beast Emperor said: "You tell me."
I sighed and said: "My mother is from the Dragon God Empire. She has always wanted to return to her homeland. I have already promised her. I think, when I come back, I will take her back to the Dragon God Empire. You Don't worry, I'm just sending her old man back, and I will come back. I, Lei Xiang, swear that I will try my best to help the Beastman Kingdom become stronger in this life, and I will never betray you."
The Beast Emperor frowned, smiled wryly and said, "Son, I'm really afraid that you won't come back."
I smiled slightly, and said: "No, Father. You have shown me the grace of knowing you, and I will never not come back. I will settle in the beastman country and do my part."
The Beast Emperor hesitated for a moment, and said: "Well, I believe you, son, in a short period of time, there will be no war between the three races of humans, demons, and beasts. As long as you are willing to come back, Father Emperor will be satisfied." .”
I felt a little more relaxed, and finally got the consent of the Beast Emperor. When I come back, I can take my mother back to the Dragon God as a matter of course. To be honest, I don't want to stay in the Beastman Country, but the Beast Emperor treats me with the utmost benevolence, and I can't just leave him alone.
I knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, father, for your kindness."
The Beast Emperor came out from behind the book case, helped me up and said, "My child, as long as I am in power for a day, you will be under one man and above ten thousand people. You are the pillar of our Beastman Kingdom. From now on, Father Emperor will have more A lot depends on you."
"Father, don't worry, I will never do anything against the orcs. The orc kingdom will always be my home."
…
After leaving the Beast Palace, I returned to my mansion, and Bai Jian told me that my mother had placed a memorial tablet for my father in her room, and everything else was normal.
"Sister Jian'er, I will leave here soon. After I leave, I will entrust all the family affairs to you. You must help me take care of my mother. I am afraid that she will be too excited because of her father's death."
There was a gloomy look in Bai Jian's eyes, and he said: "I will, are you leaving in such a hurry?"
I nodded and said: "There are still many things that I need to do." Turning my head to Mo Yue, I said, "Yue'er, clean up, let's go to Big Brother Pan Zong and the others, and then go to your demon clan."
Mo Yue nodded happily, and ran out like the wind.
Seeing Mo Yue leave, Bai Jian sighed and said: "Sister Yue'er is so happy, from her, I can't see the things that happened to you before."
I sighed and said: "I am very pleased to have Mo Yue's heart. I will definitely treat her well in the future to make up for the harm I did to her back then."
Bai Jian glanced at me and said: "You don't have to go quickly, don't you want to go on the road? Go as soon as possible, so as not to miss Sutou."
I bowed to Bai Jian and said, "Sister Jian'er, I will entrust the whole family to you."
Bai Jian looked at me with a complicated expression, and said: "You are a responsible and good person. I wronged you at the beginning, so be careful all the way." After speaking, he turned his head and walked away.
I froze for a while, thought about it, and still didn't quite understand why Bai Jian would say that. Forget it, let's go to Mo Yue first.
Mo Yue and I simply packed up, put some necessary things into the mustard bag, and set off quietly, we still brought our bamboo hats. At noon, we left the Beast Emperor City.
Due to my relationship these days, Mo Yue has been very dull, and finally left the Beast Emperor City, she also became lively, chirping around me, seeing her happy, my mood also brightened.
I decided to go to Sasling, which is relatively close, first. If my eldest brother and the others are not there, I will go to Yunnaling to look for it, so that there will be no delay in the journey.
The beastman country is not as peaceful as it used to be. Along the way, all we saw were brimming with happiness. The orc people who worked hard in the fields, I also felt a great sense of accomplishment when I saw them fulfilling each and every one of them.
"Husband, the current situation of your orcs is better than that of our demons. The people of our demons all work under the rule of the nobles, and they are not as active as your orcs."
I smiled slightly and said: "There are no nobles among the orcs. There is only one unified patriarch. Moreover, the patriarchs of each clan are very considerate of their own clansmen. However, our orc country also has its own troubles. Due to too many races , so that there are conflicts between the various races, and they are not convinced by each other, the Beast Emperor finally integrated them together. Under the current development situation, there will be no problems. From now on, everyone will have a better life , but it’s hard to say.”
Mo Yue smiled and said, "Let's talk about the future."
I'm also happy, this girl always looks like she has nothing to do with her, "I'll talk about how to do it in the future, what the Beast Emperor is doing now is to unify all ethnic groups and become his direct subordinates, and this idea I made it. At that time, all the orc tribes will no longer have their own totems, and they will all believe in the beast god, and the beast emperor is the leader of the beast god religion. However, there is no rush for these things, take your time. Moreover, these I don't want to take care of the trivial matters. My third brother Mengke is taking care of everything. By the way, Yue'er, if you have a chance to see your third brother in the future, don't forget that you sent people to kill my subordinates. Hey, I can only hope that he has already forgotten what you look like."
Mo Yue lowered her head and said, "Honey, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble."
I put my arms around her and said, "Don't be like this, Yue'er, I can't completely blame you, anyway, you and the third brother won't have many chances to see each other in the future."
…
In order to find Panzong and the others as soon as possible, Mo Yue and I transformed into fallen angels and flew forward at night. Three days later, we had already arrived in the territory of Sas, and I took Mo Yue straight to Pancheng.
Due to the lingering shadow of my father's death, I have been unable to lift up my spirits. Along the way, I have lost the mood to play with Mo Yue. Mo Yue has been very sensible and has been taking care of me carefully. When I was thinking alone, she watched me quietly from the side until I woke up from my meditation.
As soon as I entered the land of Sas, I felt that something was wrong. Although the barren appearance had changed a lot, large tracts of fertile fields were empty, and the growth of various crops was uneven. It seemed that no one had cleaned it up for a long time. up. We felt very lonely walking on the road, and only occasionally saw the flustered figures of one or two snake people. Could it be that something happened to Sasling
"Husband, it's so quiet here. Why are there so few people? Has the snake-human race always been like this?"
I shook my head and said: "No, there used to be a lot of snake people, and there were more nosy ones. You just need to say something disrespectful to them, and someone will come to trouble you immediately. I don't know why. Now that it’s like this, let’s leave quickly, maybe something happened in Pancheng, I hope it has nothing to do with Brother Panzong.”
We were driving forward, when suddenly there was a shout from the forest, "Stop."
More than a dozen high-ranking snake men suddenly jumped out from the woods. They all had bright scales on their bodies, and they stared at us one by one, their eyes full of hostility.
I clasped my fists slightly and said, "I don't know what's the matter with you guys stopping us? We didn't offend you Sasling."
The leading snake man snorted and said, "Stop doing this. Take off your bamboo hats."
I was taken aback, didn't Brother Panzong have ordered his subordinates to punish the arrogance of the snake people? How come you meet such unreasonable snake people here? Judging by their appearance, they all have certain skills. Every senior snakeman exudes a cold murderous aura.
"Why do we take off our bamboo hats?"
Another snake man said: "Captain, don't talk nonsense with them, arrest them first, we would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, we have already suffered too much."
Captain Snakeman nodded, raised his big tail behind him, and said fiercely to us: "Surrender immediately and follow us, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
Judging from their tone, it seems that something happened to the snake people. I have to ask clearly, "I will do it later. What happened to cause heavy losses to your snake people?"
The snake captain's eyes flickered coldly, as if I said it to a painful spot, he rushed over with a fierce roar. I looked at him helplessly, it seemed that I couldn't ask anything until I knocked them all down. I gently tugged on Mo Yue, and my figure flashed to meet her.
