Chapter 2159: Those roses (2/2)
”The Firefly has drifted in the sea of stars for nearly a thousand years. Although it has escaped the pursuit of the empire, it will inevitably escape to the increasingly barren and desolate star realms on the fringe of human civilization. There is no supply, lack of communication, narrow space, and lack of resources- There are no cultivators left, I'm afraid that the remnants of the Xinghai Republic are inferior to the fake cultivators of the Empire today!”
Li Yao coughed awkwardly, and said, ”His Royal Highness may have something to say. In short, my childhood was spent in the dangerous environment of the magic treasure tomb and the life and death fight. That black experience may be with Li Jialing. Isn’t it a little similar to his growth process, which is why I feel good about this younger brother when I meet him.”
”Brother Yao...”
Although Li Jialing still doesn't quite understand the true meaning of ”Magic Tomb”, he still knows something about ”Xinghai Republic, Firefly” in history books and various reading materials.
Many experts in the Empire have speculated on the outcome of the Firefly. Their speculations are the same as those of Li Linghai. They believe that under the despair of being extremely scarce of resources and unable to find a way out, the Firefly will definitely collapse, and the one before the collapse. The scene of the doomsday must be a hundred times more terrifying than the harshest slave mines in the empire.
When Li Jialing thought that Li Yao was born in such a place, he added a subtle feeling to him.
Li Yao sighed and continued: ”In short, I, who had no father, no mother, and helplessness, should have died in the dark and cruel magic treasure tomb when I was a teenager, but one day, I accidentally found it in the magic treasure tomb. A bruised uncle has since changed me, maybe he, and your destiny!”
Li Jialing held his breath and trembled: ”That's it, is my biological father?”
”Yes.”
Li Yao nodded and fell into the memory of a long time ago, but this paragraph is really truthful, ”No one knows where this uncle came from or what happened to him. Anyway, when I found him, he was already seriously injured, even his internal organs. Naked outside...”
Li Yao noticed that Li Linghai's eyes trembled visibly.
Even breathing evenly all the time, there was a disturbance of 0.01 second.
In a peerless powerhouse at the peak and even higher realm of God Transformation, this is absolutely impossible to lose control.
Before the boy exclaimed again, Li Yao continued: ”At that time, I thought this uncle had committed something on another starship, or provoke someone, so he sneaked onto our junk ship. This is common among the hundreds of starships that make up the Firefly.
”I don't know how to think, but the ghosts and gods have a subtle affection for the uncle. Maybe I have never had a father, and his appearance looks very reliable, right?
”Anyway, to put it briefly, I saved my uncle. After he got well, I saved me several times and adopted me as his son. He taught me all his craftsmanship and gave it back. I had a rusty weird flying sword, and then the flying sword burst, and inside was this slimy, soft, and very elastic black sphere. I called it'Xiao Hei'.”
”You, you...”
The queen couldn't help pacing back and forth, maybe even she didn't know what she wanted to ask, and she said for a long time, ”Just the two of you, living together?”
”Only the two of us, my adoptive father, my father, is not a person who is good at speech. He usually repairs magic weapons in silence, in exchange for food to feed us and drink and drink. The only hobby is to polish the magic weapons to thin pieces. The cicada wings are crystal clear, and then they are carved into beautiful, crystal-like roses.”
Li Yao smiled and said, ”At most, in our small shack, there are piles of metal roses full of pits and pits, and I sleep in a panic. I once asked him what he did with so many useless things. You can't change a few dollars if you take it out. It's better to piece together some magic weapons, but he still didn't answer me.
”Thinking about it now, I understand. Perhaps, he spent his entire life and effort to carve 99,999 metal roses, and also meticulously engraved various runes on them to make them more beautiful than real roses. Lun Meihuan, just to give it to...a woman on the other side of the Xinghai Sea, right?”
This thing is true.
Of course, the number of metal roses may not be 99,999, but there must be many, many.
Because after the death of the old man, Li Yao used these metal roses to submerge his ashes, pile them into a small mountain bag, and be buried together in the deepest part of the magic treasure tomb. Later, they were completely buried by the endless mountain of rubbish.
In the vicissitudes of life, when Li Yao spent a hundred years of hibernation and returned to the Federation, the magic tomb of Floating City was completely unrecognizable.
But to this day, maybe the ashes of the old man are still buried deep in the ground of Tianyuan Star with these beautiful and shining metal roses?
Li Linghai looked in a daze, but the indifferent mask and armor that he could not see all over his body could no longer condense.
Her fingertips, arms and shoulders all trembled lightly, as if squeezed from the depths of her heart, thorns entwining her body in a flash!
