Mu Le looked up, his mouth opened into a round O shape.
In fact, what he saw before him were more burnt buildings and land, and the shocking devastation on the ground... But Mu Le's attention was completely attracted by the giant dragon above his head.
It is not a kind creature.
But Gu Mingyuan is different.
Gu Mingyuan can also turn into such a giant dragon. He will have the same rugged dragon armor, the same powerful tail, and can spit out the same flames.
But his gaze will be gentle.
Unrivaled strength, and unmatched gentleness.
How can there be such a perfect creature in this world
Mu Le was fascinated when he thought that Gu Mingyuan's prototype would be like this. He was simply a rare treasure. To be able to meet him in this life, I don't know how many good things I have done to achieve it.
She was wondering if she would have the chance to meet Gu Mingyuan's prototype...
Then I heard footsteps behind me.
Mu Le turned around and saw Gu Mingyuan rushing over with a serious expression.
"Ah." She touched the back of her head embarrassedly, "There are too many exits in the bathroom. I went to the wrong one. I was just about to send you a message..."
Gu Mingyuan strode up to her.
He stretched out his hand, as if wanting to hug her.
But he stopped on the way.
In the moment he hesitated, Mu Le had already come over and snuggled into his arms.
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
His eyes swept across the giant dragon and the city not far away, his gaze as anxious as the land inside the city. Finally, he lowered his head to look at the girl in his arms and asked in a low voice: "...Are you scared?"
"Hmm?" Mu Le looked up at him, "No...?"
What scared you
Mu Le didn't react for a moment.
She just thought that Gu Mingyuan would be very handsome if he turned into a dragon, and she couldn't control herself for a moment.
Gu Mingyuan stroked her hair and whispered, "...That's good."
Mu Le: “?”
Gu Mingyuan's hand on her head slid down, and he naturally took her hand and asked in a gentle voice: "Are you still shopping?"
Mu Le hesitated.
According to her previous otaku physical strength, walking for an hour was already considered an extreme sport.
But after arriving on this planet, I have participated in more and more activities, running around with a group of energetic kids every day... Now I don’t seem to feel tired that much.
And there is someone you like around.
Mu Le also held Gu Mingyuan's hand, thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look? Let's go from here to... uh, where the ancient book is, is it far?"
Gu Mingyuan: “… not far.”
This is actually the closest way.
Mu Le stared at his face and magically read some resistance from his expressionless face.
She asked Gu Mingyuan tentatively: "You don't want to go this way? Ah... is it because of that?"
Mu Le turned her head and looked at the place where she had just stopped.
Gu Mingyuan: "Aren't you afraid?"
"…Aren't you afraid?" Mu Le said, "Wasn't that more than a thousand years ago?"
Gu Mingyuan smiled: "What if I become like that?"
Mu Le: “… huh?”
Gu Mingyuan stroked Mu Le's face and said softly, "I can also return to my ancestral form at any time and become that person."
This is why all orcs are afraid of dragons.
Even if other large animals revert to their ancestral form, they can at most crush their enemies with their claws, sharp teeth, or their huge bodies.
But dragons are different.
The dragon will turn into a monster that covers the sky and burns everything with fire.
The hard dragon armor can resist most guns and ammunition. The only way to stop it is to use destructive large weapons or wait for the dragon to stop attacking.
Dragons are the most powerful weapons on the battlefield against enemies.
In their own homeland, dragons are monsters that everyone fears.
Gu Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a little flustered when he looked at Mu Le. He was worried that he would see the same fear in Mu Le's eyes...
However, Mu Le was just like usual, with his furry little head tilted back, his bright eyes filled with joy.
"…Is it okay?" Mu Le licked his lips. "Isn't it illegal to revert to one's ancestral state? Ah, can I do it secretly?"
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
Why did he feel that the child seemed to be expecting something
He reached out and ruffled Mu Le's hair in anger and amusement, and his deep voice was particularly pleasant: "Little fool."
Mu Le: “???”
"Let's go." Gu Mingyuan took her hand and said, "I'll take you to read ancient books."
Mu Le quickly followed: "Okay."
The exhibition hall they were in now displayed many devastating disasters in the history of the planet, including reenactments, the sacrifices made by people to pass on culture from the disasters, and commemorative items.
From as small as a dagger to as large as a model of an entire city.
Mu Le and Gu Mingyuan did not stay long.
After all, it was the orcs' disaster. Mu Le could not empathize with them, nor was he willing to pretend to be sympathetic. Staying too long would only seem rude.
She and Gu Mingyuan took the shortest route and soon arrived at the venue where the two ancient books were displayed.
No wonder there is a venue for various disasters and wars outside... The ancient books in this venue were all rescued from various disasters and passed down.
In addition to ancient books, there are also some calligraphy and paintings that have been passed down for a very long time.
They were preserved using special technology, and many of the papers looked brittle. Mu Le had no doubt that they would be completely shattered into powder once they were taken out.
She followed Gu Mingyuan towards the two ancient books written in Japanese.
There is nothing recognizable on the covers of these two light novels, the inner pages are ripped and yellowed, and they are displayed high in a transparent glass frame.
Below the glass frame is a scanned and restored electronic document for reading and research.
Mu Le stood in front of the electronic screen and quickly read the contents of the first page.
… … This further confirmed that this was a light novel.
And it's a very classic kind of isekai light novel with a name of more than ten characters, an unremarkable protagonist, who runs to another world and suddenly becomes a max-level boss and lives a happy life.
Mu Le: “…”
The people on Earth are actually quite bold in their thinking, and their ideas are not too far off the mark.
At least she has personally proved that the "other world" is real.
Mu Le lost interest after reading a few pages. He had read many novels of this kind before, and the one without the planets seemed fresh.
She returned to Gu Mingyuan and sighed, "I've seen it. Where are we going now?"
Gu Mingyuan looked at her in surprise: "Don't you have to finish reading it?"
"… No need." Mu Le shook his head and said, "You can probably guess what's going to happen next."
Gu Mingyuan didn't ask any more questions.
He glanced at the time and took Mu Le's hand: "Let's go eat?"
"Okay." Mu Le became happy again.
…
As a large tourist attraction, there is a restaurant inside the museum.
Although the robots used here are similar to those in restaurants outside, and the cooking process is basically the same, the prices are much better.
Mu Le was originally quite resistant to such extravagant and wasteful behavior, but Gu Mingyuan said that he could accompany her to visit other venues open to the public in the museum in the afternoon, and going back and forth would be troublesome.
They had dinner in the restaurant.
When there are many people in a public place, one can clearly feel the other orcs' fear of Gu Mingyuan.
It was the weekend, and there were already many tourists in the Capital Museum, and it was also dinner time... But they were able to move around the restaurant unhindered, and even after they sat down, no one dared to get close to the seats nearby.
Most of the people who come to the museum are orcs who are very interested in history.
Some of them were still very young, some were already old, and they all obviously knew something about the history that Mu Le had just seen.
These orcs were much more afraid of Gu Mingyuan than the children Mu Le had met.
Even full of hostility.
Mu Le sighed secretly and quietly sat next to Gu Mingyuan.
Gu Mingyuan: “?”
Mu Le leaned his shoulder against his arm and looked at his meal. "I want to eat your meatballs... Can I exchange the tofu in my bowl with you?"
She tilted her head, and the dragon horn on her head almost poked his shoulder.
Mu Le was startled and quickly moved away, subconsciously holding his horn.
This corner was previously taken crooked by Ort's casual shot, and she later quietly adjusted it for a long time.
In fact, it would not be a big deal if it was just a bump or something. It was just that the little brat had too much strength in his hands and didn't know how to control the strength.
She looked kind of cute when she was frightened.
Gu Mingyuan pursed his lips, scooped out the small meatballs with the spoon he didn't need and gave them to her, adding maliciously: "Don't say such things to other males."
Mu Le was busy supporting his horn: "What?"
Gu Mingyuan: "Invite the other person to eat your... tofu."
Mu Le: “…”
I didn't expect that "taking advantage of others" also has that meaning in interstellar language.
I was careless.
…
After lunch, they took a walk in the square outside the museum, and Mule bought two commemorative pendants.
I waited until the venue opened in the afternoon before going in with Gu Mingyuan.
Like all ordinary tourists, they followed the regular tour route.
This should have been the route with the most people, but because there was Gu Mingyuan around, every time they walked to a place, the area nearby would seem to have been cleared.
Mu Le felt sorry for Gu Mingyuan, but as a person who was afraid of socializing, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.
He didn't deserve to be treated like this.
But she can.
The two people walked to the door of a venue with a very pink gate.
There is no such venue on the regular route. Mu Le stopped curiously and turned to ask Gu Mingyuan: "What kind of venue is this?"
Gu Mingyuan looked down at the map: "... House of Love."
Mu Le: "??? What do you do?"
Gu Mingyuan read the introduction word by word: "It records the progressive development of love and peace in the history of the orcs."
Mu Le: “???”
She still didn't quite understand.
"Would you like to go in and take a look?" Mu Le asked Gu Mingyuan, "I want to go and take a look..."
Gu Mingyuan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
This is a very pink venue from the inside out. It displays densely packed documents and numerous orc models of various shapes.
Initially there were various groups of orcs, with those of the same race standing together.
Some are in pairs, some are one and many.
These models are very small and are placed in a large pile so densely that they are impossible to count.
Maybe it was because of love, Mu Le found the ancient dragon among the many orcs at a glance. They looked like a male dragon, surrounded by a large group of females.
Mu Le: “…”
She glanced at Gu Mingyuan.
Gu Mingyuan quickened his pace without changing his expression.
The different stages unfolded, accompanied by the evolution of the orcs and the advancement of technology, from racial hostility to racial discrimination, and then to racial unity, to becoming a peaceful and stable orc group.
In modern times, there appeared the first pair of orcs from different races.
Of course, they may not be the first couple - but they are the first couple to stand up and violate the conventional wisdom that "people of different races cannot marry."
This is a pair of male sheep and female prairie wolf.
The gentle sheep fell in love with the unruly wolf girl. He became brave and strong for the wolf girl and was willing to be her shield and platform.
He is an accomplished scholar, winner of numerous international awards, and a successful person whose words carry weight.
So the law was changed so that orcs of different races could live together.
They believe that true love is innocent and even genes cannot hinder their love.
What followed was a long period of modern history.
There are more and more orcs of different races falling in love with each other, and everyone has discovered that the children born by orcs are of the same race as their mothers.
A prairie wolf mother can only give birth to wolf cubs, and after they are born, there is no trace of sheep genes in their appearance.
This does not affect the union of true love.
There are just a lot more "bloodline factions" who firmly believe that pure bloodline can bring more powerful power.
Mu Le glanced at Gu Mingyuan quietly and thought secretly.
So even if she and Gu Mingyuan were together, she wouldn't need to lay eggs? No, then she would give birth to a human baby, which is a pity...
No, the baby is born when the horoscope is not even written yet.
Mu Le secretly felt amused.
She was looking at the model when she suddenly noticed a familiar figure in front of her.
—It’s Mu Xingheng.
She is the most popular Border Collie monitor in their class and has a good relationship with everyone.
Why is he here
Mu Xingheng was standing in front of a pair of life-size orc models.
They were a "bloodline" couple who clearly did not love each other but were forced into marriage for the sake of superior bloodline, which ultimately led to a tragedy.
Both sides were famous orcs in history, so the incident was preserved as a symbolic event.
The surrounding orcs left because of her and Gu Mingyuan's approach.
Only Mu Xingheng.
He stood there alone with his eyes downcast and his tail and ears drooped.
The author has something to say: Come on, come on!!
Today I accidentally touched the computer socket and it automatically restarted, swallowing up several hundred words of my manuscript. So sad.
