Qiao Zhiya is a hybrid. Before he was born, his elf father wanted him to have a strong physique unique to dwarfs; while his dwarf mother wanted him to have a tall body unique to elves. And then he ...
Georgia discovered that Chu Rong suddenly liked chatting about family matters, and would always pull him together to reminisce about the past whenever she had time.
During this period, the military affairs and the festival affairs were all piled up together, and the workload on Chu Rong was horrible. Chu Rong went out early and came back late every day, and he must be very tired. He thought Chu Rong might be under too much pressure and wanted to relax by chatting.
With the idea of being considerate to his lover, he always responded positively to Chu Rong's topics about the past. In his spare time from studying the code and the red lines, he also took time to make a lot of potions and kept them for use. He would feed them to Chu Rong whenever he got the chance to help him relieve his physical and mental fatigue.
Apart from being a bit busier, life seemed to have briefly returned to peace and stability.
The Zerg never appeared again, and the inspections of various planets were completed one after another. All the people contaminated by the Ning family's medicine were screened out and gathered together for centralized treatment. All places where the Zerg had appeared and where black hole transmission devices might have existed were searched in a carpet-style manner. The headquarters planet was even carefully investigated by Chu Rong himself, leading his troops to ensure absolute safety.
If we ignore Ning Tianxing and others in the military detention room and the large amount of investigation data delivered from various places, and only look at the lives of ordinary people outside, the post-war peace seems to have truly arrived.
"It's the perfect size. Will it be tight on the shoulders?"
Gu Yanan helped Georgia adjust the tie of her dress while her belly was bulging. She stepped back to admire the whole dress, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Not bad, this color suits you very well."
Georgia blushed as she touched her black and gold imitation military dress and replied shyly, "My shoulders fit just right." She couldn't say more. Such occasions as trying on clothes always made her feel a little at a loss.
Knowing that he was shy, Gu Yan'an said nothing more. He sat on the sofa, holding his stomach, and looked at Chu Yan who was scratching his head and waiting beside him. He said with a smile: "It's good as long as it fits. Okay, okay, go and have fun. You can't even sit still to try on clothes."
Chu Yan stood up immediately after hearing this, and while pushing Georgia back to her room, he said to Gu Yanan in a flattering manner, "No way, sister-in-law, your vision must be right. Besides, Qiao is good-looking, so naturally she looks good in anything she wears, just like you, sister-in-law."
"You're just a smooth talker." Gu Yanan waved his hands in pretended disgust, but the smile on his face became more intense.
Chu Yan winked at her and made a face, then hurriedly pushed Georgia back to the room, urging him to change his clothes while quickly saying, "After you change your clothes, go directly to the Mecha Battle Hall. I'll go pick up Yuan Xiu first. He's at the door."
Seeing that he was about to run after he finished speaking, Georgia raised her voice and called him, saying, "Wait, I also invited a mecha maker friend to come over. You can pick him up when you pick up Yuan Xiu."
"Friend who is a mecha maker?" Chu Yan stopped, looked at him in confusion, and asked, "Did you call Sangbu over?"
Georgia moved her ears and just smiled without answering.
Chu Yan was anxious to try out the new mecha, and seeing that he was silent, he thought that he had agreed, so he didn't stay any longer and rushed out of the door to meet his helper who was going to test out the mecha today.
Georgia watched him leave, and deliberately calculated the time to change her clothes slowly. After making sure that everyone should have been picked up, she calmly took the space button for the mecha and walked towards the mecha battle hall.
Inside the hall, Chu Yan was sitting in the spectator seats with a look of deep resentment on his face. On his left was Xiang Kun, who had no expression on his face, and on his right was Yuan Xiu, who had a face full of gossip and curiosity. None of the three spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely weird.
Georgia looked at the three people, stepped in, smiled and waved at Xiang Kun, and said, "I'll leave it to you today."
"No, it's my pleasure." Xiang Kun's expression eased a little after seeing him, and he took the initiative to stand up and greet him.
Chu Yan and Yuan Xiu stared in amazement at the two people's "friendly interaction" and "happy conversation", and felt that they were probably still sleepy.
"When did Qiao and Xiang Kun become so close?" Yuan Xiu was the first to come back to his senses and grabbed Chu Yan's arm very hard.
Chu Yan barely managed to avoid crying out in pain, and quickly shook off his hand, frowning and saying, "How should I know? Qiao never told me, and Xiang Kun never told me either. How could I know when their relationship became so good!"
Yuan Xiu looked at him suspiciously and sniffed: "Strange, why do I feel that your tone is sour, no way, you want to compete with your second brother for-ah!"
Chu Yan slapped away the unreliable guess that he was about to say, glanced at him unhappily, and said, "Put away the mess in your mind. If my second brother hears this, your father will have to send his son to his grave."
Yuan Xiu touched his arm with a grin, then thought of Chu Rong and quickly shut up, not daring to talk nonsense anymore. His eyes were still curiously moving back and forth between Georgia and Xiang Kun.
"Is Teacher Ronnie okay?" Georgia asked as she handed Xiang Kun the key points for the [Knight] test drive that she had compiled earlier, and also took out a detailed design drawing of the [Knight] with a frank attitude and trusting eyes.
Xiang Kun's expression completely relaxed when he saw this, and he took the things and replied: "Master is very good, I asked about you before I came here."
He called him "Master" with great respect and naturalness. Georgia looked at him, squinted her eyes and smiled, and said, "Luckily you are here. Grandpa Ren and the others are busy. I have something else to do here. Xiaoyan is in a hurry to test the mecha, so I can only ask you for help."
Fate is a wonderful thing. More than a year later, Ronnie and Xiang Kun, who had never known each other at all, began to appreciate each other and eventually became master and apprentice. Moreover, this master-apprentice relationship was actually initiated by Ronnie. According to Master Shang, Ronnie was moved by Xiang Kun's stubbornness and insisted on Xiang Kun accepting him as his apprentice.
One is a young master who once firmly believed that his own mecha manufacturing technology was the best and refused to learn the "dross" from the outside world; the other is a "sloppy" uncle who is out of the mainstream and has his own set of mecha design, manufacturing and teaching methods. When these two people get together, the style of the picture is a little weird, but it seems not bad.
The collision between tradition and niche should produce something new and eye-catching.
When Xiang Kun heard him say this, he looked up at him, and answered softly without responding.
After becoming master and apprentice with Ronnie, he had a deeper understanding of Georgia's past efforts.
He had also tried Master Shang's fast learning system after becoming his apprentice, but in the end he had no choice but to give up because he couldn't keep up with the course. After discarding his prejudice and getting to know Georgia in depth, he now only had admiration for Georgia. His previous twists and turns were like a bad nightmare that a lost teenager had when he was young, and slowly disappeared with the passage of time.
As soon as Chu Yan came over, he heard Georgia's words "entrusting an orphan to me" which sounded like a bolt from the blue. He jumped up in shock and shouted, "Joe, where are you going? You're not going to help me test the mecha? Xiang Kun has just finished the second grade courses, he..."
As he spoke, he saw Xiang Kun's expression getting worse, and he choked up and explained quickly: "No, I don't think you're bad, I..."
"I know." Xiang Kun interrupted him, tightened his grip on the document, took a deep breath to suppress his emotions, and said, "I know my level is not good enough, but I will try my best. And I will only do some basic debugging for you today, don't worry too much, I have done this many times with my master, there will be no problem."
Instead of hearing a retort, Chu Yan got an explanation that was almost a sign of weakness. Chu Yan started scratching his head again, unable to utter a word for a long time. He really didn't know how to get along with Xiang Kun anymore, as they were no longer in the same way as before.
Georgia pulled Chu Yan, who was at a loss, and said, "Xiao Kun grew up with you. He knows your attack routines better than I do. He is also very skilled in mecha manufacturing and has taught himself how to assemble mechas. It is no problem for me to help you test drive the mecha. I have to go to the military headquarters. You and Xiao Kun should get along well. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he smiled at Xiang Kun again, waved to Yuan Xiu who was still in the spectator seats, turned around and left with brisk steps.
"Hey, Qiao..." Chu Yan was unable to stop him. His neck was twisted stiffly and he dared not look at Xiang Kun. His whole body was twisted.
Xiang Hui didn't expect Georgia to know his self-study progress. After a moment of hesitation, he came back to his senses and thought about his slightly intimate name. The bad mood that Chu Yan had provoked in his heart subsided again. He glanced at Chu Yan, who seemed very stupid at the moment, frowned, and put the space button of the mecha in his hand, almost commandingly saying: "Get on the mecha and light it up first."
The temperature of the other party's fingers flashed by, and Chu Yan reflexively clenched the space button. His stiff head finally turned around, and his eyes quickly scanned Xiang Kun's expression. Seeing that he looked businesslike, he suddenly felt a little suffocated. He twisted his neck, and inexplicably felt that Xiang Kun was strangely handsome. He moved his mouth, and finally just responded obediently: "Oh."
In the spectator seats, Yuan Xiu stared with wide eyes at Chu Yan and Xiang Kun, who had finished their harmonious communication and actually started debugging their mechas. He couldn't help but rub his eyes. After making sure it was not an illusion, he swallowed hard, rolled his eyes, slumped in his chair, and decided not to force himself to figure out the psychological activities of these "precocious" children.
After coming out of the mecha battle hall, Georgia contacted Fan Xiangnan and confirmed that he had arrived at Chu's residence. She went straight to the gate, got on the hovercraft and asked, "What happened to the military?"
He had been planning to help Chu Yan debug the mecha for the whole afternoon today, but before lunch Chu Rong suddenly called back and said that he would ask Fan Xiangnan to pick him up to go to the military headquarters, and that he had something to ask for his help, but he didn't say what it was specifically. It seemed that the person over there was very busy and had no time to explain in detail.
"There's something wrong with the experimental subject storage warehouse." Fan Xiangnan explained after closing the car door. His tone was relatively calm, but there was some anxiety between his eyebrows. He said in detail: "This morning, some strange movements suddenly came from some of the storage warehouses, and then a timed self-destruct program appeared in the warehouse. The military can't open the storage warehouse to check the situation inside, so I can only trouble you to make a trip."
Georgia was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "The resettlement warehouse has not been opened yet?" It has been almost a month since the resettlement warehouses were discovered, and he thought that the warehouse had been opened long ago.
Upon hearing this, Fan Xiangnan shook his head helplessly, thinking of his superior's rare hesitation on this matter. He looked at him and sighed in his heart.
If there hadn't been a problem with the resettlement warehouse, the commander probably wouldn't have bothered Qiao to make this trip. Moreover, the commander's thoughts have become more and more difficult to guess recently, and his mental strength is always unstable. He doesn't let them tell Georgia and Chu Huai, and he secretly drinks potions to stabilize himself every time.
Georgia was a little worried and confused when she saw his expression.
It had been a month, and the resettlement warehouse couldn't be opened. Why didn't Chu Rong come to him for help, and he didn't even mention it at home? Obviously, there was an assimilation magic circle, so opening the resettlement warehouse was just a simple matter for him.
The hovercraft drove to the military headquarters at the fastest speed. Fan Xiangnan, with Chu Rong's authority, took Georgia all the way into the research base in the center of the military headquarters, went straight down to the third underground floor, and entered the deepest closed room.
As soon as Georgia entered the door, she saw Chu Rong standing in front of a row of resettlement warehouses, and several unfamiliar researchers standing beside them.
"Sir." Fan Xiangnan called out.
Chu Rong, who was talking to the researchers, turned his head when he heard the words. After scanning Georgia, his eyes were fixed on him. Then he waved his hand to signal the researchers to leave, and walked up to Georgia and hugged him tightly.
Fan Xiangnan was stunned when he saw this, and tactfully left the room and closed the door for them.
"Chu Rong?" Georgia was stunned by the hug. She found that his breathing was unstable, so she quickly raised her hands to hug him back and stroke his back, comforting him, "Don't worry, I'll help you unlock the door, don't worry."
Smelling a familiar breath, hearing a familiar voice, feeling a familiar body temperature, the mental power that had been turbulent in his brain finally slowly calmed down. Chu Rong raised his hand and rubbed his forehead imperceptibly, frowning to suppress the emotions that had become increasingly uncontrollable these days. He slowly let go of him, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, and whispered, "Sorry, I have to trouble you again."
"It's no trouble. I'm glad I could help you." Georgia looked up at him, tiptoed to kiss him, and smiled at him reassuringly.
Chu Rong pushed aside his bangs and touched the corner of his forehead. Seeing how well-behaved and caring he was, he couldn't help but hug him again. Then he restrained himself and let go of his hand. He glanced at the resettlement warehouses that were flashing countdown numbers, frowned and said, "The problems are with the five smaller resettlement warehouses. The other seven large ones are not moving."
Georgia looked over when he heard it, and sure enough, he saw a countdown board on one of the five small resettlement warehouses in front, indicating that only a few hours were left. He couldn't help but take two steps forward to observe it more. Suddenly, a small resettlement warehouse closer to him moved, and there were some crashing noises coming from inside.
He was startled and quickly stepped back.
"The thing inside has woken up and has been moving all morning." Chu Rong hugged him, rubbed his frightened ears soothingly, and said, "Go change into protective clothing first. Before unlocking the room, the researchers will fill this room with hypnotic gas to prevent the experimental subjects inside from coming out and hurting people."
Georgia came back to her senses, looked at the resettlement warehouse again, nodded, and obediently followed him to the next room to change clothes.
After everything was ready, Chu Rong took out the spirit stone, and Georgia squatted in front of the resettlement warehouse and began to draw the assimilation magic circle. Perhaps because he was tired from moving around before, there was no movement in the resettlement warehouse when he was drawing the magic circle, so Georgia was able to finish drawing the magic circle smoothly without being frightened.
The moment he completed the magic circle, Chu Rong took a step forward, wrapped him with his mental power, then stimulated the power in the mental stone and headed towards the warehouse.
Sensing the mental power, the red button on the placement chamber that originally indicated closure suddenly flashed and turned green.
Georgia unconsciously held his breath and wanted to move forward to take a look, but Chu Rong stopped him. Then the next second, a beast roar that almost broke the eardrums rang out, and the door of the resettlement warehouse was violently opened. A nimble black shadow the size of an adult man rushed out and pounced on the two of them. At the same time, a strange force quickly spread in the room.
Fan Xiangnan, who was observing the situation outside the door, was shocked and hurriedly increased the release of the hypnotic drug.
The black shadow was too fast for Chu Rong to dodge, so he stretched out his arm to push Georgia away. Just as he was about to meet the attack from the black shadow, he found that the black shadow actually chased Georgia straight away, ignoring him completely.
"Be careful!" His expression changed drastically and he hurriedly chased after him.
Georgia was pushed back, and just as she steady herself the black shadow chased after her again. Her sight met the black shadow's ugly and weird face covered with black scales and its eyes that were emotionless and weird, like some kind of cold-blooded animal. She was startled and quickly retreated, her magic power unconsciously spreading out, and vines suddenly appeared, surrounding the black shadow.
The black shadow was blocked by the vines, and Chu Rong took the opportunity to move closer and hugged Georgia to protect her behind him, then took out a tranquilizer gun and shot the black shadow in the head.
Bang!
With the help of the anesthetic gun and the hypnotic gas, the black shadow swayed and fell into the pile of vines that were gradually turning into light spots and disappearing. The strange power floating in the room also disappeared.
Chu Rong kissed Georgia's head soothingly, stepped forward and covered the shadow with an isolation hood, turned his head to look at Fan Xiangnan who rushed in, and ordered in a deep voice: "Call the researcher over."
Georgia slowly came to her senses and looked towards the black shadow on the ground, whose body was covered with black scales but strangely had a thick tail and two fleshy wings similar to bat wings. The palpitations she had felt when she saw the red-patterned device reappeared, her heartbeat was faster than ever before, and her thoughts were a little confused.
The strange power in the room just now was clearly a combination of the Zerg's nerve waves and the power of the National Master, but it combined the worst aspects of both - mental suppression and consciousness paralysis.
Maybe there was something else, but the power appeared for too short a time and he couldn't sense it more clearly.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air. He took a deep breath to calm himself, shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, and moved his gaze to the bloodstain on the black shadow's head caused by the anesthetic bullet. A guess popped up in his mind - could those red lines be drawn with the blood of this "monster"?
As he thought this, the magic power floating in the air couldn't help but float towards the isolation shield. After carefully entering the isolation shield, it stabbed towards the drop of blood uncontrollably.
Boom!
An intense burning sensation suddenly returned quickly to the magic pool in the brain along with the force that penetrated the blood. The power began to boil, the blood flow accelerated, and a certain call from the blood began to surge and roll.
“Hmm!”
He raised his hands to cover his head, and the two small corners of his forehead suddenly became hot.
"Joe!"
Chu Rong stretched out his arms to hug him, and seeing that he looked in pain, his expression darkened, and he quickly picked him up and left the closed room.
The smell of blood disappeared, replaced by the scent of Chu Rong. The burning sensation in his head also subsided a little. He grabbed Chu Rong's clothes tightly and buried his head in his arms, absorbing his scent and body temperature.
Chu Rong noticed his movements, stopped and fed him a potion, then wrapped him with his mental power and said as he walked out, "Bear with it, I'll take you to the medical room."
"Don't."
After the drug entered the body, the burning sensation quickly subsided. Georgia felt much better. She shook her head, took a deep breath to steady her breath, and jumped down from his arms. She said soothingly, "I'm fine. I was just accidentally hit by the power of the experimental subject. Go on to unlock the door."
He now had a very strong intuition that whether he could produce any research results on the Red Marks and whether he could return home all depended on the blood. In short, he could not let the experimental subjects self-destruct and he had to find a way to preserve them.
Chu Rong frowned upon hearing this, touched his slightly pale face, stretched out his arms to pick him up and continued to walk out, refusing with his actions.
Georgia looked at him with great persistence and assured him, "I will be more careful this time, really. The countdown on the relocation chamber is not long. Let me open it. The research requires more samples."
"No." Chu Rong tightened his arms, his face as gloomy as water.
His embrace was too tight, Georgia felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help patting him and said, "Chu Rong, relax a little, I feel a little stuffy..."
Chu Rong stopped suddenly, looked down at his uncomfortable expression, quickly loosened his arms and rubbed his back soothingly, tilted his head to take a deep breath to suppress his mental sea that was beginning to stir again, frowned, turned around and took him back to the closed room.
The experimenter had already carried the unconscious subject away. Georgia glanced at the remaining dozen or so storage chambers and knew that Chu Rongken must have tacitly agreed to her request to unlock the chamber by bringing her back. She tried to jump out of his arms. Seeing that he didn't stop her despite his tense body, her heart softened. She stepped forward and rubbed his chest soothingly, saying, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Chu Rong's Adam's apple moved, and he suppressed the desire to take him away directly. He lowered his head and kissed his forehead, and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I know you didn't mean it." Georgia rubbed him again, then turned to face the resettlement warehouse, squatted down and concentrated her magic power again.
Chu Rong stood behind him, took out a potion and drank it while he was not paying attention, stabilized the spiritual sea that began to turbulent again, and then stepped forward to guard beside him. This time he did not take out the spirit stone again, and planned to use the spirit stone to open the resettlement warehouse after Georgia finished drawing the magic circle and walked to a safe place.
After drawing several formations in succession, Georgia saw that Chu Rong had not taken out the spirit stone to open the resettlement warehouse. She probably guessed what he was thinking, hesitated for a moment, looked back at him, and walked to several large resettlement warehouses where no countdown appeared, and continued drawing the formations.
Chu Rong frowned even more tightly when he saw this, but did not stop it.
After Georgia assimilated all the locks on the relocation warehouses, Chu Rong immediately stepped forward, picked him up and carried him out of the room, asked Fan Xiangnan to protect him, then returned to the closed room alone, closed the door and took out the spirit stone.
Georgia frowned as she watched from outside the door, turned her head to look at Fan Xiangnan, and said hesitantly: "Is Chu Rong..." Chu Rong's mood just now was too wrong.
Seeing that he finally discovered it, Fan Xiangnan sighed, shook his head and didn't answer.
Chu Rong stood in the middle of the closed room and directly activated the spirit stone.
The moment the power spread out, the other four storage warehouse doors with countdowns were immediately knocked open, and four black shadows rushed out one after another. At the same time, a strange force that was much stronger than before came over.
Chu Rong, who was well prepared, immediately activated the protective shield to cover himself, gathered all his mental strength to avoid being hurt, then took out the tranquilizer gun and aimed it at their heads, knocking them out one by one, then moved his attention to the large resettlement warehouse.
A few minutes passed and there was still no movement in the large resettlement warehouse. He frowned, stopped waiting, and walked forward and opened the lid of the nearest large resettlement warehouse.
After the lid was opened, a large piece of white ice-like object was revealed. Something was frozen in the middle of the ice, and some black outlines could be vaguely seen. Apart from the size, the appearance seemed to be similar to the experimental subject in the small shelter.
Georgia felt relieved when she saw this, and Chu Rong's tense body also relaxed a little. He raised his hand to close the hatch, turned his head and waved towards the door, motioning the experimenter to go in.
After a busy period, the experimental subject was safely transferred to a heavily guarded military accommodation warehouse. Georgia made a timely request, saying that he wanted to take some of the experimental subject's blood and scales back for research.
Chu Rong lowered his eyes and looked at him, bent down and kissed his forehead, then rubbed his ears, frowned, but still nodded.
Georgia returned home with blood and scales. After getting off the hovercraft and out of Fan Xiangnan's sight, his expression immediately fell and his ears drooped. He remembered that Chu Rong clearly wanted to see him off in person before leaving, but in the end he just stayed in the office with a frown. He felt depressed.
There was something wrong with Chu Rong, very wrong, not only with his emotions, but also with his mental strength. Moreover, Chu Rong had been suppressing and deliberately concealing this abnormality, not wanting him to discover it.
Why? Are you afraid that he will worry?
He thought again of Chu Rong's behavior today, how he was obviously emotionally unstable and unwilling, but still tried his best to comply with his requests. He lowered his head even more, and his whole body wilted.
He should have discovered it earlier. Chu Rong had been trying her best to squeeze out time to go home and accompany him recently, and they had been spending quite a lot of time together. But how could he be so stupid that he hadn't noticed that something was wrong with Chu Rong?
He raised his hand and patted his forehead in annoyance. After blaming himself for a while, he quickly cheered up. Thinking of the blood and scales he brought back from the military, his expression became firm, and he strode towards the main house - faster! Once these problems that bothered Chu Rong were solved, Chu Rong would not be so tired anymore! As long as he worked harder!
That night, Chu Rong was busy until very late before returning home. Georgia was already asleep. He washed up quietly, drank a potion to steady his mental strength, then went to bed, held Georgia, who was sleeping on her side, in his arms, and closed his eyes contentedly.
Half an hour later, Georgia, who should have been fast asleep, suddenly moved her ears, adjusted her sleeping position, and slowly released her magic power to wrap up the two of them.
Time passed quickly as Georgia worked hard on her research and Chu Rong's increasingly busy schedule. In the blink of an eye, the festival arrived and the ship carrying the imperial visitors finally arrived slowly at the Federation headquarters.
Georgia, who had been bored in the laboratory for a few days, was carried out by Chu Rong with a frown on his face. After she washed and changed her clothes, she was led out the door.
After getting on the hovercraft, Georgia covered her mouth and yawned, then lazily nestled in Chu Rong's arms. She found that his aura was much more stable than in the past few days. She moved her ears happily and asked vaguely, "Where are we going?"
"The military reception building, the Empire's people have arrived." Chu Rong saw that he looked sleepy, his face darkened, and he gently pulled his restless ear and asked, "What time did you go to bed last night?"
He was busy welcoming guests until the early hours of the morning last night and left early in the morning, so he really had no idea what time Georgia went to bed and got up.
Georgia twisted and leaned into his arms, saying, "Half past nine."
Half past nine?
Chu Rong paused while pinching his ear and asked, "What time did you get up today?"
"Six o'clock. I had lean meat porridge and steamed buns for breakfast, steak and salad for lunch, and took a nap. I just went to the lab before you came back." George reported today's schedule swiftly and hung lazily on him.
A very healthy schedule and diet. Chu Rong frowned, raised his hand to touch his head, and asked in confusion: "Then why are you..."
Georgia raised her head at the right time, her face no longer sleepy, she leaned over to kiss him with a slightly blushing face, then stretched out her arms to wrap around his neck, tilted her head to rub his neck, and deliberately complained: "You haven't been home on time for a few days..."
It turns out she was just looking for an excuse to act coquettishly.
Chu Rong's eyes softened, he tightened his arms, turned his head and kissed his cheek, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'll take a break to accompany you after this period."
Georgia released his magic power at the right time and rubbed against Chu Rong. Chu Rong paused, and really accepted his power to rub and comfort him obediently. He smiled triumphantly, tilted his head and rubbed Chu Rong's neck again, and shook his ears with satisfaction.
The presidential palace, as a symbol of a country, is still in ruins, so the place to welcome the imperial visitors this time was arranged in the military's reception building. The imperial people arrived in the morning. Chu Rong had accompanied Chu Huai to formally entertain them once at noon. Now he took Georgia there for a private meeting.
The reason why he arranged the private meeting so urgently and came back to pick him up in person...
"Is the Imperial Master ill?" Georgia lost her smile immediately after hearing Chu Rong's explanation. She looked up and asked, "What's wrong? Is it serious?"
"I'm not sure. The doctor only said that he was weak, but they couldn't find out the cause of his weakness." Chu Rong pinched his drooping ears soothingly and added, "All his physical indicators are above normal, but he has been in a coma. Jane is very worried and hopes you can go and see him."
Georgia became more worried after hearing this. Thinking about the research on the blood and scales during this period, the relaxed mood she had when she went out completely disappeared.
After the hovercraft arrived at the military headquarters, it stopped directly in front of the reception building. Chu Rong took Georgia out of the car and did not go to the main building. Instead, he took him to the side building next to it.
"Jian rejected everyone's request to visit the Imperial Master, including me, and insisted on bringing the Imperial Master to live in this side building." Chu Rong said, leading him to the master bedroom on the second floor of the side building, smoothing his unconsciously frowned brows, and said: "So far, all the examinations of the Imperial Master have been done by Jian remotely under the guidance of the doctor. Jian asked to see you, so I brought you here, but if you don't want to go in, I can take you away immediately."
During this time, he has been learning to listen to Georgia more and trust all his words and deeds, although he secretly doesn't want Georgia to come here, because the memory tampering is most likely related to the national teacher, and he is not at ease to let Joe go to see the national teacher when the national teacher is unconscious and unable to confront him. But Jane is Joe's friend, and the national teacher is also someone Joe knows. With Joe's temper, after knowing that someone he knows is in trouble, he will definitely worry about it and try to save people.
This is Joe's nature. He doesn't want Joe to have any regrets in the future, so he brought Georgia with him.
Just as he expected, Georgia chose to go in almost without hesitation after hearing his words, with anxiety in her eyes.
Chu Rong carefully looked at his expression, paused, reached out to help him knock on the door, and said, "I'll wait for you outside."
The door opened quickly and Jane appeared at the door. At the same time, a gentle power that she had felt from the national teacher floated out. Georgia's heart tightened. She didn't even bother to greet Jane and hurried into the room.
Chu Rong and Jian looked at each other, frowned and said, "Ensure his safety."
Jane was stunned when she heard this, guessing that he might have discovered something, and nodded, and replied, "I will."
The door closed, and Chu Rong stood at the door. His mental strength, which had been much more stable, began to fluctuate again. He frowned, raised his hand to rub his brows, and took out another potion and drank it.
After entering the room, the power floating in the air became more obvious. Georgia walked a few steps to the bed, and then gasped in shock after seeing the appearance of the person on the bed.
The Imperial Master was indeed unconscious, and even looked quite healthy, but there were some scales on the sides of his face that were very similar to his skin color. They were not ugly, but looked very weird and strange.
"What's going on?" Although he guessed that the national teacher might be an alien race, whose true form was related to animals, he was still a little surprised to see the other party's "non-human" appearance so directly.
Jian stepped forward to help the master tidy up his hair, then gently took the master's hand out from under the quilt, lifted up the sleeves of his loose pajamas, turned his head to look at him and said, "That's it, father has transformed into a beast."
Georgia's eyes moved to the Imperial Master's arms, and saw that his arms and palms were completely covered with scales, and his nails had turned into sharp claws of animals. Her face quickly tensed up, and she leaned over and asked seriously, "How could this happen? Animals that can transform into human form will not be in this situation unless their strength is weakened or they are seriously injured. Could it be that the Imperial Master..."
"No, although father's strength is not as strong as before, it is related to his self-sealing back then. Father has been very careful in using his strength over the years, so there is no sign of decline. These symptoms gradually appeared after he boarded the ship."
After Jane finished speaking, she put the master's arm back into the quilt, turned her head to look at Georgia, with pleading in her eyes, and said, "I didn't inherit my father's blood at all, so I can't help him. You are from the same clan as my father, so you will find a way to save him, right?"
Georgia could hear his helplessness and wanted to help him, but... he hesitated and replied honestly: "In fact... I don't even know what kind of beast your father is. I don't understand why your father keeps saying that I am of the same race as him. Except for the recent atavism phenomenon, I never knew that I had beast genes in my body."
The last time he called the National Master to ask about this, the National Master did not give a direct answer, so he has been in a rather confused state about this matter.
Jane was stunned when she heard this and asked, "You don't know what race my father is?"
Georgia nodded, then looked at him and asked in a low voice: "So, excuse me, your father..."
"I don't know either." Jane interrupted him and stared at him, completely dumbfounded, and explained: "Father said that the more you know, the greater the harm you may suffer. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, he kept many things from me."
"..." Why does this routine seem familiar? Chu Rong sometimes does this too.
The air froze for a few seconds. The two foolish children who were deceived by their parents froze for a while. Finally, Georgia tried to stretch out her hand, condensed a little magic power, and said, "I, I will try it with magic power first. In theory, magic power can also achieve the effect of calming animals."
Jane hurriedly stood up and patted the spot beside the bed attentively, motioning for him to sit down.
The wood magic power slowly spread out. Georgia clenched her palms and gently held the national teacher's hand which was covered with scales and had strange nails. She suppressed the uncomfortable feeling brought by the strange touch of the scales. After the magic power completely enveloped the national teacher, she began to transfer the magic power into the national teacher's body.
The sound of blood flowing, the sound of heart beating, the sound of breathing, the sound of power rushing through the body... the wood magic spread unhindered in the state teacher's body, unearthing all the secrets in his body.
Georgia closed her eyes unconsciously, breathed lightly, and directed her strength towards the national teacher's brain.
However, unexpectedly, he came up empty-handed. Completely different from the human spiritual sea and his magic pool, the national master's brain was empty, and the core of his power was not in his brain.
Georgia's eyelashes trembled, she held the Imperial Master's hand tightly, and once again spread the wood magic power towards the Imperial Master's entire body.
Where... He was searching, using magic power to nourish the body of the national teacher while searching for his power core, his breathing slowly slowing down.
