Lanhuadis 29

In the next two days.

The hidden wound in Carlos' heart slowly healed and he finally returned to normal.

Most of the golden 'Blood of God' was consumed, with only a fingernail-sized amount left.

After the treatment is completed, Wendoline must set off immediately. The longer the delay, the more unstable the war on the front line will become.

She gave the remaining blood of God to Carlos: "Use this small piece to make a pendant for Xiaoqi to hang around her neck as a decoration."

Carlos: "Not needed on the front line?"

Wen Duolin: "It's not very useful."

Carlos said nothing more after hearing this and accepted the remaining 'Blood of God'.

The wound on his body was left after Xiercheng's death when he blocked an attack for Xierting while supporting him. Xierting always thought that his wound had healed long ago, but he didn't expect that it would last for six years.

Now that everything has healed, Xierting said, "I'm leaving today. Take good care of Xiaoqi."

Carlos: "You don't have to say anything."

Wen Duolin stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

She looked at Xierting, hinting, "Although our family doesn't force you to do anything in the future, you have to be clear about this, Fourth Brother."

Xilting said nothing.

Wendoline: "Dorothea passed away the day before yesterday. I wonder how her research on corpse-dissolving water is progressing."

"Eldest sister cares about this?"

"I recently noticed that when my subordinates were counting the casualties, the number of bodies didn't add up." Wen Duolin frowned slightly. "I wonder if they were devoured by evil spirits on the spot, or..."

Xierting: "Eldest sister suspects that this incident is related to the disappearance of people in and outside the royal court?"

Carlos: "That alone doesn't mean the two are related. Sister, do you have any other clues?"

Wen Duolin: "No, I was in a hurry when I came here. I will investigate thoroughly when I return this time. Also, you should all pay more attention. I have a feeling this matter is not that simple...Once Xiaowu's corpse-dissolving water is developed, Lao Er, send someone to deliver a batch to me immediately."

The bodies of the Lanhuadis royal family cannot be disposed of at will. There are generally two ways to dispose of them.

One is to have the elders of one's own family handle it and seal it in the place where the body lived during its lifetime.

The second is the crystal coffin buried in the outer circle of the fallen king’s tomb, which guards the tombs of kings of all generations after their death.

There are not so many taboos and rules for the corpses of ordinary members of the tribe.

Once a soldier joins the army, his body and name will be at the disposal of the commander-in-chief.

Carlos: “Understood.”

He had just finished the last course of extractions, and the weakness in his body was slowly disappearing, as was the subtle tingling in his chest between breaths.

He put on his coat and said, "I'll tell Xiaowu next time she comes back."

They are now a family of six. No one knows where Xierting is hanging out, and Xiaowu is also very secretive about her research institute base and never lets them in to visit.

After everything was settled, Wendoline and Xierting looked at the cub who was still sleeping, and then left.

By the way, I took Kamimi back to school.

-

Half a month later.

Ning Ren has already adapted to this vision of being 80% blind.

He went to the Third Army with his second brother at night and slept at home during the day.

Ning Ren knew that his daily routine was different from Lan Huadis's. At first, he thought it was okay if he didn't adjust it, but he would feel hungry when he woke up during the day. As soon as he woke up, his second brother would wake up and busy himself preparing food and toys for him.

As a result, all the servants in the castle couldn't get enough rest because of the second brother.

So Ning Ren began to work hard to adjust his daily routine. After ten days of hard work, he was able to get his daily routine back to normal.

As long as he can overcome that brief moment of sleepiness at night, it won't be a problem!

Before leaving, Sixth Brother generously contributed his entire set of bed boards, and Ning Ren's small house was upgraded again.

From a small bedroom, it was upgraded to a smaller, simpler version of the castle. The amount was unclear, and there were also small toys for enlightenment. When Carlos had some free time in the barracks, he would read storybooks to him.

After all, Ning Ren could speak before, and once he started speaking, his language skills improved rapidly.

He can now express his thoughts simply.

Finally, during the first meal tonight, Ning Ren grabbed his second brother's hand while he ate, "Brother."

Carlos: “Yeah.”

He lowered his head: "Want to eat the food on my plate?"

Ning Ren held his breath and said, "Bird! Little bird!"

Xiaoniao is sorry, he really didn't mean to wait until now to come and rescue you, it's because your pronunciation is so difficult to read.

Carlos: "Want to eat bird meat?"

"No."

Ning Ren tried hard to keep steady, "Auntie...bird, see you."

Carlos was surprised: "Guhuo Bird? Xiaoqi wants to see Guhuo Bird?"

Are you sure you don't want to eat?

The cub pressed his finger and nodded seriously, "See you, little bird!"

Special emphasis is placed on the word "see".

All right.

I actually really want to see the Gūhuo Bird.

Carlos didn't quite understand. Could it be that he had told Xiaoqi before that the Guhuo Bird had stolen him away, so he wanted to see it?

Carlos murmured: "This..."

Ning Ren became nervous.

I hope the little bird won’t be unlucky enough to be killed again.

But Dad said that birds are immortal, so it shouldn't be a big deal if they get slaughtered once or twice more...

Carlos: "If you call me 'Second Brother' again, I'll take you to see it."

Ning Ren: “…”

His face was full of black lines.

"Brother."

Carlos: "Be clear."

"Hinder...Second Brother!"

Carlos was satisfied. "Okay, I'll take you there after dinner. She's being held in the military prison, but there's one rule: you're not allowed to run around. Do you understand?"

Ning Ren: “Yeah!”

Carlos: "Eat quickly."

-

Third Army.

Military prison.

The environment here is much worse than the dark cell in Carlos's room, with bloodstains everywhere.

In Ning Ren's eyes, these bloodstains became small black dots.

Because he couldn't see clearly, he didn't feel any discomfort except that the smell was a bit unpleasant.

Guhuo Bird is an ancient mythical bird. Although for unknown reasons her power has plummeted and she has become a baby stealer, she is immortal and is imprisoned in the innermost cell, which is wrapped with special chains to prevent her from escaping.

When Carlos brought Ning Ren over, the Guhuo Bird was counting how many feathers it had lost out of boredom.

Hearing the noise, she scratched her body with her claws and yawned: "Who is it? Who is it?"

Carlos: "You seem quite at home here."

Guhuo Bird looked over lazily and said, "I've said it many times before. It wasn't me who stole your child. It was the other soul in my body, that damn, lowly sparrow spirit!"

Carlos didn't believe it: "Then let her out."

Guhuo Bird spread out its claws: "There's nothing we can do. When she saw she was locked up, she was afraid of being tortured, so she withdrew."

Carlos: "...nonsense."

Guhuo Bird's eyes rolled. "I smell a cub. Yours?"

Ning Ren poked his head out from behind his second brother's neck and whispered, "Little bird?"

His world is in black and white, so what appears in his vision is a big black and white bird, lazy and seemingly powerless.

Fortunately, his voice sounded strong and powerful, so he probably didn't get abused.

His eyes were covered with black silk today, which made his little face look pale. At first glance, it was obvious that he was a cub in poor health.

The pupils of the Guhuo bird contracted violently, and she almost instantly pounced on the chains of the cage, her eyes fixed on the black silk covering the cub's eyes.

A somewhat crazy cry came out of his mouth: "Ah! Ah!!"

The chains jingled as she shook them.

Carlos and Ning Ren were both shocked.

Carlos took a big step back, protecting the cub, "Night Heron!"

His voice turned cold: "I didn't have time to pay attention to you before, I think you are-"

Ning Ren patted his heart: "Brother Ai, don't be angry."

Ning Ren remembered that when Asulin captured Ye Lu, he removed the other bird soul in her body that wanted to take over her body.

At this time, the soul of the bird should still be in the body of the Guhuo bird.

Carlos: "Xiao Qi, it's dangerous here, let's go."

Guhuo Bird: "Don't go! Don't go! Let me see, let me see! Let me see this child..."

Her eyes were still fixed on the cub, but her voice dropped, probably realizing that her actions had frightened the child.

Carlos ignored her and his vigilance towards the Guhuo Bird was once again at its highest level.

Ning Ren poked his ear and said, "Brother Ai, come over here."

"No, it's too dangerous."

Guhuo Bird: "It's not dangerous, it's not dangerous!"

She transformed into a human form, a woman of extraordinary beauty. She grabbed the chains outside and bound her hands. "Is this okay?"

“…”

"Second brother, go, go over there."

Carlos: "Xiao Qi...Alas."

He took the cub off his neck, protected it carefully, and slowly approached the cage, stopping at a place where the Guhuo bird could not reach.

The Guhuo bird stretched out its hand as hard as it could, but its fingertips could never touch the cub.

Ning Ren hesitantly stretched out his fingers, and under Carlos's vigilant gaze, his soft fingertips gently touched the fingertips of the Guhuo Bird.

Tick.

It feels like drops of cold water falling into my heart.

The madness in Guhuo Bird's eyes slowly faded away, "It's not him..."

"I'm sorry, you had the blindfold on. For a moment, you really looked like my child. I guess it scared you."

Ning Ren shook his head.

He was very surprised.

It turns out that there are times when Xiao Niao doesn't curse people. Before she goes crazy, she really speaks nicely.

Carlos took another step back: "Do you really have two souls in your body?"

Guhuo Bird resumed its previous lazy attitude: "Yes, otherwise."

Carlos: "You can't exorcise it?"

Guhuo Bird: "Yeah, otherwise?"

Carlos: “…”

Although it is an ancient mythical bird, it is really hard not to be tempted by this attitude. This guy must have lived to this day and achieved nirvana countless times.

Ning Ren: "Let go, little bird, fly."

Guhuo Bird smiled and said, "Oh, you are very kind, little fellow."

Carlos: "No, who knows if she will steal cubs from the royal court again if we let her out."

...Oh, yes.

Ning Ren looked conflicted.

Guhuo Bird rolled her eyes gracefully: "I don't want to leave yet. I want to stay here for a while, otherwise I will really be corrupted by that guy and become a retard."

Ning Ren fell silent.

He thought about the years when the Guhuo bird built a nest on his head and uttered friendly greetings every day... Actually, he was not much different from a mental retard.

If it weren't for the fact that Guhuo Bird came out to save the situation at the last moment in the City of Chaos, he would have always thought that the little bird was a stupid bird with a bad brain.

It was not advisable to stay in the prison for too long, so Ning Ren was taken out by Carlos while he was deep in thought.

The Guhuo Bird didn't want to leave, and there was nothing he could do. He remembered how his father cured the Guhuo Bird... It seemed that he used a bead, and then the spatial talent of their Silver Tail Mi tribe.

I don’t know if I can expel the bird soul from the body of the Guhuo Bird in advance this time.

The cub's face scrunched up as he thought about something.

Carlos was also wondering why his brother attached so much importance to the bird?

After thinking for a long time, I figured it out. Oh, it must be that Xiaoqi can't fly by himself, so he wants other birds to fly.

It’s all because his younger brother is so kind and sensible.

Carlos rubbed his brother's little wings, and suddenly sighed, his tone pitying: "Don't be sad."

Ning Ren looked up in confusion: "......?"

"without."

I'm not sad.

Carlos acted as if he was deaf and coaxed her, "Don't be sad, I'll give you a snack later."

Ning Ren immediately said: "Yeah!"

Although I don’t know what my second brother is thinking, there is no reason to refuse the extra meal!

-

The matter of the Guhuo Bird has come to a temporary end here.

Half a month later, Ning Ren received a gift from Dorothea—

It was a thin pair of wings made of silver metal. Ning Ren folded up his original wings and put on this pair of silver metal wings.

There are shoulder straps on both sides of the wings for wearing, and at the bottom of the shoulder straps there are handles for controlling the wings to fly forward, backward, left and right. A speed limit is set on the handle to ensure the safety of the cub.

Ning Ren mastered the metal wings very quickly and flew around the house holding the handle.

Wow, this thing is a little difficult compared to Feifei Wood.

After flying in the air for a circle, Ning Ren slowly landed and said happily, "Second brother, this is fun."

Carlos: "Your fifth sister said that the obstacle avoidance function has not been developed yet, so when you fly, you must have someone to protect you."

Ning Ren scratched his head.

It has an obstacle avoidance function. Even though it can't be seen clearly now, it will remind him of everything.

"By the way, I have something for you too."

Carlos smiled slightly and opened his hand. In his palm was an exquisite golden pendant.

This is the divine blood left by Wendolin. He used his mental power to refine and reshape it, and now it has become the shape of a pair of small wings.

He placed it in the cub's hand.

Ning Ren pinched it and found it hard. The edge of the wing tip should have been sharp, but Carlos was afraid that he would get his hands cut, so he polished it very smooth.

After pinching it, he put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

Carlos: "It's Little Wings. If you don't like it, then—Little Seven!!"

His voice suddenly rose.

The cub put the 'Blood of God' to the tip of its nose and smelled it, then it was stunned for two seconds and stuffed it directly into its mouth.

Carlos quickly picked up the cub and shook it, "Spit it out, or it'll get stuck!"

Ning Ren stuck out his tongue, and his mouth was clean. The little wings and the divine blood were gone.

Carlos: “???”

His pupils trembled: "You swallowed it?!"

Such a big and hard blood of God, and he swallowed it so easily?!

How is that possible!

"belch."

Ning Ren didn't know what was going on. Before he could react, he ate his second brother's gift. He patted his belly and it seemed that he didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere.

Seeing him burping, Carlos's face became even uglier. He grabbed the cub and flew towards the back mountain where Grandma Laura was.

If I had known earlier, I would have thrown away the broken golden stone. What if I got sick from eating it?
