Chapter 103: Effort
"Does Your Highness like the feeling that the fire brings her?"
Mingxiao followed Caesar and asked, "Is it the shared synesthesia of the Fire Seed?"
Caesar scoffed. "Besides that, what other appealing power does the fire have?"
Mingxiao stroked his chin and said, "Isn't the shared synesthesia of the Fire Seed the same as ours? Their abilities are inherited from our genes. If Your Highness likes this feeling, our synesthesia is stronger than that of the Fire Seed."
After he finished speaking, he saw Caesar open a portal outside the temple, and on the other side of the portal was the place where Cyrus lived.
Mingxiao followed Caesar in a flash just as he closed the portal.
"Lord Vanguard, Lord Secris doesn't like being disturbed. You might not be able to borrow his abilities even if you ask him."
Caesar stopped at the entrance of Secris's palace, turned to look at Mingxiao, and smiled. "What, you want to borrow it?"
Mingxiao quickly waved her hand, "No, no."
Caesar looked at him and said leisurely, "Little Mingxiao, I remember you borrowed my power last time, haven't you used it yet?"
Mingxiao looked obedient. "I used it. Wasn't Wang in a hurry to connect to the network last time? The Alliance attacked and paralyzed our Skynet system. I went to the signal base station and replaced the hardware, so I used the ability you gave me."
Caesar looked at him with a knowing expression and said, "The people at the signal base station are all dead. I'll send a mere advisor to replace them."
Mingxiao: "The matter is urgent, and I'm worried about them."
Caesar reached out and patted Mingxiao on the shoulder, then stood in front of the door of Secris and called out, "Secris, lend me your power."
Three seconds later, a projection interface appeared at the doorway, displaying only a speaker icon.
"roll."
A deep, emotionless voice came from inside.
Mingxiao stood behind Caesar and couldn't help but grin.
Caesar continued, "I want to see His Highness."
The voice inside rose a little, "Get away from me!"
Caesar: "I'll take a picture of His Highness while I'm at it."
Cyrus: "...Get in here."
The doors swung open, and Caesar stepped inside.
A minute later, he came out, and Mingxiao leaned close to him. "Vanguard Lord! I also want a picture of His Highness!"
Caesar shoved his face away. "Little Mingxiao, you need to try harder, you know?"
Mingxiao scratched his head: "Vanguard, which aspect of efforts are you referring to?"
From the moment he was a tiny embryo, the energy aura of the little princess was etched into his genes. He was her familiar. Like Caesar, he was born a high-level insectoid. No matter how hard he tried, his rank and status would not change. At most, his position and the strength of his abilities would change slightly.
But in terms of their future connection with the young prince, he and Caesar were the same.
So Caesar meant to try his best to win over the young prince?
Caesar pointed towards the palace and said, "Look, Secris is working hard to become His Majesty's striker. You should do the same and strive to become His Majesty's right-hand man."
Mingxiao asked, puzzled, "But I am His Highness's relative!"
Caesar: "Secris is also His Highness's relative, and he is much smarter than you. Think about it, the King is His Highness's father, and Secris knows how to serve the King diligently. The King appreciates Secris, and His Highness will also look up to him in the future."
Mingxiao suddenly realized, "Then I'll be more proactive in working for the King from now on!"
Caesar patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "That's right."
Mingxiao suddenly remembered something, and he glanced at the palace gate of Secris and said, "Vanguard Lord, before Lord Secris was injured, he was also searching for the young prince. He was also one of the vanguards, and he cared deeply for the young prince..."
Caesar knew what he was going to say, and with a slight smile, he interrupted him: "Secrist is old."
Mingxiao: "But Lord Secris and you were born at the same time, only a few years earlier."
For high-level Zerg with their exceptionally long lifespans, a difference of a few years is practically negligible.
Caesar: "He is older than me."
Mingxiao: "Your Highness prefers younger men? Well, I'm 168 years younger than Lord Caesar, I..."
Caesar narrowed his eyes and revealed his claws: "Get lost."
Mingxiao sensed a murderous aura and vanished in front of him in a flash.
Caesar chuckled and withdrew his claws: "You run pretty fast."
He checked the time; it should be exactly 10 p.m. for His Highness. He could go over there and wait for His Highness to wake up.
With this in mind, he opened the portal.
Caesar appeared in the hospital building where Anno was, and the portal disappeared behind him. None of the devices on Tianhe Star that detected the energy fluctuations of the portal showed any abnormalities.
This is because Caesar used Secris's power to distort time in this area, slowing down the flow of time and preventing signals from being transmitted.
This ability can be used to control a single person or object. He didn't use it on Anno, who could sleep peacefully in this slowed-down time.
Caesar leaped toward a building across the street and sat down on its edge, from where he could see Anno's room.
At that moment, a nightlight was on in her room. The curtains were drawn, so he couldn't see her, but he could clearly feel her presence and energy.
He still prefers the original body...
After all, Huo Yin had no memory of him. He disliked the people of Beihe Star, so Huo Yin implanted this characteristic into his consciousness, and he always had a cold face towards the people around him.
It would be bad if His Highness didn't like him doing this.
Inside the room, Anno was fast asleep. Luo Jin had just gone outside in the corridor to answer a call, and Tang Ting had gone to another department to perform pathological tests on Anno. He had just finished preparing the medication and was coming out of the dispensing room.
He always took a hands-on approach to Anno's physical examinations and medications.
Suddenly, Anno felt a strange energy in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes.
Sitting on the edge of the rooftop, Caesar sensed Anno's fluctuations in consciousness and raised an eyebrow. His Highness had awakened.
A bird flew past Caesar, and he raised his hand. The bird immediately froze in front of him, maintaining its flight posture.
Caesar stood on the rooftop and looked out. The pedestrians below were frozen in place; this was Secris's ability.
Before he was injured, he was the Zerg's strongest vanguard, using this ability to kill enemies in battle as easily as cutting vegetables.
However, the wider the range of this ability and the stronger the target group, the shorter the duration it can be maintained.
The user's skill level also affects the duration of the effect.
Within the hospital's grounds, he and His Highness could stay for about twenty minutes.
Caesar leaped and landed steadily on the balcony of Anno's room.
