Chapter 489 Precious Harvest
Chapter 489 Precious Harvest
The elders' faces were stiff.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Although they did blame this god-level mecha for kidnapping their wise and powerful emperor, they also knew in their hearts that -
This mecha is very powerful.
If it weren't for the help of this god-level mecha, the mermaids would have no idea how long they would have to live in that harsh environment.
It stands to reason.
They should be thankful for it.
What's more, they actually felt a bit guilty about the fact that Lance and Yuluan left the mermaid tribe and traveled far away for hundreds of years.
At the beginning, they were too radical and old-fashioned in handling their relationship, which led to a fierce quarrel between the two sides. Lance was also stubborn. From the time he left the mermaid tribe until his death...
I never saw them again.
They already felt a little regretful at that time, but the result was already a foregone conclusion.
After all, it's irreversible.
After Lance's death, Yuluan also disappeared. Several elders sent people to look for it, but to no avail for several years.
They thought...
Yu Luan died with Lance for love.
This time the Third Prince entered the mausoleum to look for the so-called magic weapons. They actually didn't hold out much hope, but they were just trying to give it a try.
However, when Yu Luan really appeared in front of them, they were filled with disbelief and a hint of embarrassment and nervousness on their faces.
Therefore, the attitude is also cautious.
"Cough cough."
One of the elders coughed lightly.
He stretched out his right hand and placed it on his chest, saluted the huge mecha in front of him with some respect, and then said tentatively, "Of course I won't punish you, but you came to the mermaid tribe this time for..."
He paused.
It was obvious that he had no idea why Yu Luan came.
After all, Yu Luan had not been in contact with the mermaid tribe for a long time.
The friends it knew in the past have aged or passed away. If you count on your fingers, there are only a few left who are still alive.
Yu Luan heard this in a faint voice.
"Of course -"
"Come and clean up the mess for you mermaids."
"Your mermaid territory is in trouble again. Before Lance died, he asked me to help if the mermaids were in trouble."
"For Lance's sake."
"I'll help you one last time."
Hearing this, the elders were overjoyed. After hearing the news, the current emperor Stuhai, who had come to Yu Luan at some point, came over.
That is, Stuka Lumin's father.
He couldn't help but ask, "I know you came to help the mermaids with good intentions."
"But I still want to ask..."
"Do you want us to pay anything?"
Yu Luan only felt that the outspoken merman in front of her looked somewhat familiar. After looking at him for a while, she saw some shadow of Lance's younger brother in his facial features.
It seems.
The person in front of me should be the descendant of Lance's younger brother.
Before Lance died.
His younger brother would come to visit them several times in a year, but Lance's younger brother would always grit his teeth at this mecha that kidnapped his brother, but he had to patiently try to please it.
only.
Lance, my younger brother, doesn't seem to be in good health.
Now that his child has sat on the throne, he must have died long ago.
Think of this.
Yu Luan's heart core produced strong fluctuations again. According to the information it recorded, it can be analyzed that this emotion is called sadness.
“There is indeed a price to pay.”
"It's just that your child has agreed to pay. If you want to know more details..."
“Why not ask your children?”
It pointed at Stuka Lumen who was standing not far away. The soft female voice sounded like the gurgling of water, with a bit of gentleness, "But you can rest assured, the price is not life-threatening."
The emperor rubbed his sore brow.
He gave a wry smile.
Even after hearing Yu Luan's assurance, his heart still couldn't help but skip a beat.
At this moment, he ordered the merman attendants who were standing obediently behind him to lead Lu Chihuan and his party to the previously arranged residence to rest, and then he planned to take some time to have a good chat with his son.
Let’s see what price he paid to make Yu Luan decide to save Stu Hai.
only.
He had just finished giving instructions to the merman attendant when Lu Chihuan pursed his lips and stepped forward a few steps. He saluted to the merman emperor of Stuhai.
"His Majesty."
"We brought out some rare medicinal herbs from the mausoleum this time."
"I heard that the eldest prince fell into a coma due to an accident a few years ago. I wonder if this part of the medicinal herbs will have any effect on his injuries. If you have a doctor here, why not ask him to help carefully identify it now."
He always remembers it.
Stuka Lumin missed his big brother terribly.
When I accidentally entered his sea of consciousness because of the heart scale sent by Stuka Lumen, the scene of him getting along with his brothers and sisters was so lively and friendly that it was no exaggeration to say that it was a lively and friendly scene.
and.
Before entering the tomb of the founding emperor, Sotuka Lumin had once told him that he wanted to find medicinal herbs in the tomb that could awaken his elder brother.
So he wanted...
It would be great if the medicinal herbs in my storage ring were really useful.
Stuka Lumen was stunned.
His long silver eyelashes trembled a few times, and his deep blue eyes, as clear as glass, deepened a little. After a moment, he showed a calm smile.
original.
Huanhuan still remembers what he said.
"it is good!"
The emperor of the Stu sea mermaid tribe was both surprised and delighted to hear this. You know, the fact that his eldest son fell into a coma had fermented over time and had become a scar in his heart that had not yet healed.
Whenever he thought of...
The scar will cause a dull pain.
Now, hearing that Lu Chihuan had brought back some rare medicinal herbs from the mausoleum, he almost without hesitation invited Lu Chihuan and the doctor to the bedroom where his eldest son was settled, so that they could test whether the herbs were suitable.
Lu Chihuan had met the eldest prince once before in Stuka Lumin’s spiritual sea.
At that time, the other person was gentle and calm.
He is very considerate in dealing with people. Not only does he act like an older brother in front of his younger brothers, but he is also loved and supported by the mermaids.
At the festival celebration that day.
Wherever he went, he would receive flowers thrown to him by the mermaids from all directions.
Not only that.
The eldest prince also loved his younger brothers very much. When he saw his younger brothers quarreling with each other, he would give them some advice. His words were always effective.
The two younger brothers heard it.
They immediately became obedient like kittens with their claws retracted, and let him use pearls or corals to braid their messy long hair neatly.
Occasionally.
Lu Chihuan also saw a few naughty princes who suddenly pulled the elders' beards on a whim, and then were chased around by the furious elders.
that time.
The eldest prince would always stand up in front of his younger brothers, and then act like a peacemaker to persuade the elders to calm down. No matter how angry the elders were, he would remain unmoved.
In short, he is quite protective of his shortcomings.
At that time, they had agreed in the false world fabricated by the spiritual sea -
I will definitely come to visit next time.
However, even Lu Chihuan himself did not expect that he would see the eldest prince again in such a terrible situation. At that time, the eldest prince had been in a coma for a long time.
He was pale and thin.
There was almost no blood on his lips, and the muscles in his arms and legs had obviously atrophied due to lack of exercise for a long time. However, his body was still quite clean, which showed that someone took care of him every day.
There were some odds and ends placed next to the eldest prince's pillow, such as a beautiful flower, a few round pearls, or a crooked painting.
Look at that brushstroke.
It looks like a child's drawing.
Seeing this, Stuka Lumin's frown relaxed a little, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "It was my brothers and sisters who put it there."
Ever since my eldest brother fell into a deep sleep.
These little guys would come to visit their big brother from time to time. They would whisper something in his ear and then put the gifts they brought on him.
talking.
He skillfully found a box from a nearby drawer and put the odds and ends in it. "I've also collected the gifts they gave me before."
"When Big Brother wakes up..."
"I'm sure you'll be happy to see these gifts."
Lu Chihuan leaned over to look.
I saw that there were indeed many small things in the box. In addition to the flowers and pearls I had just seen, there were even rabbits with bows, wood carvings with several tooth marks, and shiny amber.
The box looks heavy.
It seems that it is filled with gifts from younger brothers and sisters, but in fact it is full of their love.
At this moment.
Lu Chihuan took out most of the rare medicinal herbs from his storage ring and placed them on the table, asking the doctor to see if the herbs in there could be used.
The doctor wore a pair of crystal glasses.
After carefully looking through all the herbs, he picked out three intact herbs and said, "These herbs may be effective."
"only……"
“We need to test them separately.”
talking.
He tried to take part of these three medicinal herbs as his own experimental subjects.
It just takes time to prepare the medicinal materials.
And there is no room for distraction.
So the doctor asked Lu Chihuan to stay and help him, while Zhou Zhi, Stuka Lumen, Zuo Lie and others were complained to be standing by and getting in the way, and their noise made him unable to concentrate on his work.
then.
They were all driven out in one breath.
Because they were worried that Lu Chihuan might need them later, Zhou Zhi and his friends did not leave even though they were a little tired.
They randomly found a place that they liked to lean on or sit down, and then waited for Lu Chihuan to come out of the eldest prince's palace.
only.
Because almost all the people present were love rivals, they had no interest in talking to each other, and the atmosphere here was cold and deserted.
It almost dropped below zero degrees.
Seeing this, Stuka Lumen asked the mermaid servant to bring some wine and food.
Signal others to take whatever they want.
He has always been a person who likes to watch the fun and no matter how big the event, he couldn't stand the dead silence after just staying for a moment, so his deep blue eyes swept across the faces of the other people one by one, as if he was selecting his target.
soon.
His gaze rested on Zhou Zhi's face.
At this moment, Stuka Lumin picked up the wine jug at hand, poured himself a glass of clear and mellow wine, took a few sips, and then spoke to Zhou Zhi with a gloating look, "If I remember correctly."
"General Zhou Zhi, you entered the mausoleum with a mission this time, right? I don't know what you gained from the mausoleum this time. Why don't you tell me about it?"
He had long disliked Zhou Zhi.
On the surface, he pretends to be indifferent and has no other intentions towards baby Huanhuan, but in fact, who knows how many dirty and filthy thoughts he has in his heart.
Is it possible...
Does he really think of himself as a saint?
During the seven days that Stuka Lumin spent in the mausoleum, he hardly saw Zhou Zhi, nor did he hear of Zhou Zhi's reputation from other people.
and so.
He guessed that something must have happened to Zhou Zhi, so he couldn't complete the collection task.
Just right now.
Make fun of him about this.
Zhou Zhi was not angered by Stuka Lumin's words. His light grey eyes were like a foggy lake, quiet and without any waves. He looked particularly indifferent.
At this moment, he stretched out his bony fingers and tapped his arm lightly. After a moment, he said lightly, "Nothing was gained."
"The Empire..."
"I will take the punishment myself."
He lifted his eyelids and glanced at Stuka Lumin, then spoke slowly, "In fact, I didn't gain nothing this time."
"after all."
“I got something more valuable.”
After hearing this.
The attention of the other few people who were originally quite bored was immediately attracted.
On weekdays.
General Zhou Zhi was not interested in anything.
Only in the battle and on Huanhuan did he show some slightly obvious attention, so...what kind of gain could be called precious by Zhou Zhi?
This made the other people very curious.
Their intuition told them that
This should be related to Huanhuan.
Seeing that the other people, including Eaton's behemoth mecha, had been whetted by him, Zhou Zhi slowly said in his magnetic yet indifferent voice, "I followed Huanhuan to his world."
"Not only that."
"I even met his parents!"
After hearing this.
Stuka Lumen, Zuo Lie, Chen Muze and the others seemed to have been greatly shocked. They were in disbelief and at the same time maintained a rare tacit understanding. They spoke in unison at this time:
"what?!"
Their hearing...
Is there something wrong?
