Chapter 319: Core Role
"Nono, how was your time at Tianyun Garden these past two days? Was Qingfu's concert good?"
Anno swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at the communication projection of Anaya in front of him, saying, "...Beautiful."
Looking at the scene around Anno, Anaya asked in surprise, "You've already returned to the palace?"
Anno nodded and said vaguely, "I just came back because I have something to do. I'll go in a few days."
Anaya: "I'm going back in a few days too. Didn't you want to see the Sacred Tree? I'll take you to the temple on the main star then."
"good."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before ending the call.
Anno sighed, put down her chopsticks, and slumped onto the table.
She returned from Tianyun Garden, leaving Sitar and the others behind.
"Your Highness, have you eaten?"
Tanville placed the peeled shrimp into Anno's bowl and poured her a glass of sweet and sour juice.
Anno never loses her interest in food; no matter what, she eats and drinks as she pleases.
She finished the food Tanville had put in her bowl, took a few sips of juice, and shook her head at him: "I'm done eating, you don't need to peel it for me."
Upon hearing this, Tanville had no choice but to put down the shrimp in his hand and wipe his hands clean with a napkin.
His movements were elegant and composed; even a simple gesture like wiping his hands was pleasing to the eye.
Anno propped her head up and stared at his long, beautiful fingers for a while before suddenly saying, "Tanville, find me a suitable school in Tianyun."
Tanvel is the Zerg's top diplomat. Compared to other Zerg, he has a better understanding of foreign civilizations and is also more mild-mannered. He and Nancy are usually in charge of communication and contact with foreign races.
"Looking for a school?"
Tanvel paused, then hesitated, "Your Highness, won't you wait a few more years? Your core is still under repair, and your physical condition is probably not suitable for attending school right now. The King and Queen wouldn't feel at ease either."
Anno: "You go ahead and find it. I'll take care of the rest. I need Tianyun's school. Tianyun is now an ally of our Zerg, and I need to learn about their culture first."
Tanville couldn't go against Anno's wishes, and seeing that she was determined, he had no choice but to agree.
"How is your injury?" Anora took his hand, wanting to see his injury.
Yesterday, she lost her temper and only brought Tanvel back; the Zerg's warlike genes took over her mind at that moment.
But she was just a firefly, and her true form was even weaker than her human form, so she couldn't cause any harm to Tanwell.
She fought Tanville with a knife for a while, and after cutting his hand, she threw down the knife and fought him with her bare hands.
Tanville fought her skillfully, without hurting her in the slightest, in order to let her vent her anger.
He maintained his human form, removing all his defenses, including his outer armor; he was practically naked. Anno's punches landed squarely, each one making a loud thud.
"It's all alright now, Your Highness."
As Tanville spoke, he placed his hand on Anora's hand, as if to conceal something.
Seeing his movement, Anno immediately pulled up his sleeve.
He wasn't wearing his combat uniform today, just a simple white shirt. When she pulled up the sleeve, she saw a dark red scar across his arm. Although it had scabbed over, the wound looked very fresh, with faint traces of blood seeping out.
Anno frowned slightly: "Didn't you apply any medicine?"
Tanville said gently, "It's already been wiped clean, it should be all better in a few days."
Anno thought about the knife she used, which was made of insectoid ore. If she had used a little more force, Tanwell's arm could have been cut off. He had cut himself yesterday, and judging from the extent of the wound, it must have been very deep.
Her hand touched his wound, and just as she was about to use her power, Tanvel covered her hand with his. "Your Highness, your core is still in repair and semi-dormant, so you can't use your power anymore. Otherwise, your core will be awakened again, the repair will be interrupted, and you'll have to start all over again."
Tanvel's words caused Anno to stop moving.
Even when she was still inside the insect egg, her core was not in good condition; otherwise, her mother would not have used the core's original energy to go into the abyss and slumber for three hundred years.
Sevier's branch is the most powerful fighting race. Even when its core is damaged, it takes so long to repair. Moreover, her core was removed from her birth, and its energy was constantly being consumed. Later, several pieces of her core were broken.
Even the best energy stones from the Zerg could not completely repair her core in one go.
The role of the Queen's core is not only to support the Queen's life and energy; its energy and the genes it contains cover the entire Anno generation of Zerg.
The Queen is the entire Zerg race, which is why without the Queen, the Zerg race will gradually wither and perish.
Meanwhile, the Northern River system won the war by stealing her core, and its population prospered.
A single Queen Worm core can make an entire galaxy thrive.
Its complexity is unmatched even by the most sophisticated instruments in interstellar space today.
"Your Highness, this is just a minor injury, nothing serious."
Tanvel gazed tenderly at Anno, dispelling her thoughts of using her abilities.
Anno noticed a faint bruise on Tanville's handsome cheek. Her gaze shifted downwards; his collar was slightly open, revealing glimpses of his delicate collarbone and the scar on it.
She stood up, moved closer to Tanville, and pulled down his collar a little to get a better look at his injury.
Tanville sensed the girl's very close presence, stared at her light blue eyes for a moment, then quickly lowered his gaze, concealing the light within.
Anuo watched as his wounds spread downwards. She had hit him quite hard yesterday, and he had put away his outer armor and other protective gear. No matter how strong a body is, it will still get injured if it gets hit.
Although she was not as physically strong as them, the fighting skills she had honed during her difficult years of survival on Earth were no weaker than theirs. She carried energy stones, and every attack she made was powerful.
Tanville also truly felt the pain of being beaten by her.
Anno noticed what appeared to be an injury on his chest and said to him, "Take off your clothes."
Tanville obediently unbuttoned his shirt, his movements unhurried, the lines of his upper body gradually revealed as he took off his clothes.
Anno stared at his movements and inexplicably felt her mouth go dry.
After he took off his clothes, revealing his muscular chest, which was covered in bruises that didn't look like minor injuries.
"You definitely didn't apply any medicine."
Anno sighed and instructed his other relatives to bring the medicine through his consciousness network.
She had Tanville sit on the sofa and took out the milky white ointment to apply the medicine to him.
"Your Highness, I can manage on my own!"
Tanville's voice carried a hint of fear, "You are so distinguished, how could I allow you to apply medicine for such a minor injury?"
Anno scooped out a dollop of ointment with her fingers and pressed down on his shoulder: "Don't move. I'll apply it for you once, and you can apply the ointment yourself after that."
The light pressure pressing down on him instantly stopped him from moving.
A slight smile played on his lips as his dark eyes gazed at her, shining like stars. "Yes, Your Highness."
Anno rubbed the medicine into his chest and patiently and meticulously applied the ointment to each of his wounds.
Soft fingers, coated with cool ointment, gently rubbed the wound. Tanville's breathing slowed, and he felt the area where her fingers touched heat up.
