Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Zao Zao's Halo is Wrapped with Strings
This time, the childish voice with no sense of boundaries did not disappear quickly, but lingered for a long time.
This caused Hull to feel depressed for a moment, and the voice interrupted him the next moment, and he felt depressed again and interrupted again.
In the past, Hull fell into the abyss of pain and could not fall asleep for a long time.
But at least I can still sleep for a while at night. Now I can stay awake until dawn.
Studying late at night? Studying all night?!
How miserable are the children?!
Which parent is so wicked!!! He would never be so evil, okay? ! Where is the Child Abuse Act? ! Punish this parent!!! Quickly!!
But I don't know if it's because even though his crown was breaking, his emotions never fell into despair. After not sleeping all night, Hull was in unexpectedly good condition.
When the sound stopped, Hull didn't move.
Although he didn't know why this happened, whether it was his illusion or some special technological development, Hull didn't have the energy to explore it.
He just leaned against the wall without moving and slowly closed his eyes.
*
After dawn.
The cub was taken by Amos to the palace for the meeting.
Amos always took the little one with him during this time.
After all, the little guy’s teacher hasn’t been found yet, and the little cub doesn’t have anything else to do usually but explore the world out of curiosity.
So even during meetings, Amos would let the little guy play within the range of his mental power.
This was actually quite offensive to the Crown Clan. This could be seen from the fact that when the little guy got lost, Amos's domineering use of mental power to sweep across the entire royal court had received several rounds of resistance from the Crown Clan's dissatisfied mental power.
Even when the habitat planet was still there, the education of the Crown Clan always pursued independent self-reliance.
But little Chuzao was only five years old and had not received any education from the Crown Clan since childhood. He was unusually gentle, soft and non-aggressive. Amos had never raised such a cub before, and he still raised this little guy according to what he believed the Crown Clan should have at this age. In the end, various situations arose that led to stress.
His actions were a bit forceful, but Xiao Chuzao tolerated them gently.
While the adults were in a meeting, he would sit on the plush carpet in the next room and play with the various small toys that Grandpa Morrie had prepared for him.
Kaman officially re-entered his identity information not long ago.
At this moment, during the break in the meeting, feeling Amos's brutal mental power, he poked Melen.
"I've always wanted to say this - is His Majesty Amos a little too nervous now?"
Meiren glanced at him.
"That's because you don't have a cub, and you've never lost one yourself. To be honest, although that time was indeed an accident, when I think about it now, I can't help but check to see if Zao Zao is there, not to mention Amos."
Meilun patted his shoulder gently.
"The Crown Clan of Amos' generation never raised cubs. I always felt that their perception had degraded. Now they are barely catching up. They were pushed too far at once and ended up like this. It doesn't matter. I think Amos's anxiety will be alleviated when Algae Algae becomes stronger."
"What you said makes sense. Speaking of which, there's no news about the two people from the Keben family who were brought back?"
Carman tapped the table.
"These two have caused the problem we were most worried about before—"
Carman was talking about Job and Joshua. These two were the only two left in the Crown Clan's engraved family. Moreover, this family was in a very miserable situation. An accident happened on the same day, and in an instant, only a few members of the family were left.
Before fate had a chance to destroy them, their own emotions began to destroy themselves.
"Who knows? It's confidential monitoring," Meilun thought for a while. "At Zaozao's age, she should try some basic fighting skills to train her body. I guess Amos has the same idea. On the other hand... the most suitable person to teach Zaozao should be Heer, right? Although Heer is the only one left, the Imperial Master family still has a set of skills."
Hull's family had been the teachers chosen by the Dwight family a long time ago. Both Hull and his father had taught Amos.
"I don't think so. Hell, it's not just a matter of the crown..."
When Kaman mentioned Hull, his brows frowned for a moment.
"That guy won't stay... He won't hesitate to die when the time is right."
Meilun: “…You are right.”
The agenda for this meeting is also simple.
The main thing is a multinational conference in two weeks. The entire interstellar star field is vast, and there are many prosperous places that have no borders with Saint Cass. There is also an alliance group led by the Immortal Race. Recently, there have been unexpected situations and it has been in constant turmoil. That alliance group is a bit similar to the Saint Cass Empire, but in fact, it is fundamentally different in its formation, and that Immortal Race does not have the bravery of the Crown Clan in combat, so it seems that the new force that is going to replace it will also be present this time.
This new force grew strong through burning, killing and looting. Its leader is Lin Yuan, a young man with strong mental strength. He is very radical and arrogant, causing some changes to the interstellar landscape here - this is also normal. This interstellar space is too big, and there may be forces they are not aware of resisting pollution in places far away that are surrounded by pollution.
The Holy Grail Clan sensed the terrible scene of being at the end of the road, and came here specially, boarding the warship of the Fourth Army led by Fermine Dwight, the only female Crown Clan member of Dwight's generation.
Amos sat in the main seat, next to Frey. There was an empty seat between them. Further down was a woman in a black military uniform with her hair tied in a high ponytail. Anya sat on the other side of her.
Fei Man is a standard beauty. She has beautiful eyes like their mother. A casual glance at them makes them seem affectionate. But her personality is also very similar to their father. She is a taciturn person. She does not like socializing, nor does she like the work in the royal court. So most of the time she is outside leading the Fourth Army to deal with strange beasts.
She seemed calm and composed - if she didn't check the time frequently and occasionally glance at the door.
After Fei Man and the others arrived at Saint Casti Star, she went straight to check her mental strength, and then went to the meeting.
She had received news about it - about... the cubs.
Cub?
The Crown Clan still has cubs?
Fei Man didn't quite understand, but she did feel a more fragile presence next to their meeting room.
She also prepared gifts for the cubs.
At the end of the meeting, Amos was the first to stand up and leave the meeting room.
The elder of the Holy Grail Clan who came over frowned and followed closely for two steps. Only after only the Crown Clan was left around him did he speak.
"We suspect that the problem with the Boer Alliance this time was caused by the Anthem Organization. Your Majesty Amos, as a hidden clan, we have to remind you, the Crown Clan, once again that choosing to be a shady tree that protects others will only accelerate the extinction of your clan."
When he said this, there was a hint of arrogance in his voice as if he had seen through everything.
"The Crown Clan should have been like the Holy Grail Clan, not interfering in other matters. There's no need to be soft-hearted. We have learned from past experience—"
There are guards on duty in the corridor next to it.
None of them are members of the Crown Family, but after the last incident, the entire royal court has strengthened its defenses.
Upon hearing this, they all tightened their fingers slightly and lowered their eyelids.
The next moment - Amos's spiritual sword was pressed against the throat of the Holy Grail elder who was speaking.
The sound stopped abruptly, followed by a low cry of horror. No one could see Amos's movements clearly.
Amos's expression was cold, even a little cruel and impatient.
His Majesty had been in a state of irritability during this period, and he was able to maintain his original state and handle official business only because these accidents did not cause serious consequences.
"Have some respect for my countrymen and my race. You must know that I am not like my father. I have never had much patience."
The elders of the Holy Grail Clan dared not say another word.
Feeling the sharp sword against their throats slowly dissipate, they came with news of a multi-national and multi-ethnic conference, so they did not dare to stay any longer and left quickly.
When the surroundings became quiet, the few Crown Clan members who were already used to it did not move, and Fei Man looked around.
"Brother Amos."
Her voice was also very cold, like the sound of water hitting rocks.
"Didn't you say you picked up a cub? I brought him the latest mecha. I remember that many of my friends liked this when we were young..."
Before she finished her words, there was a light clicking sound.
Several members of the Crown Clan looked over together.
The door to the next room was gently pushed open.
Half of little Chuzao's face was revealed, with soft black curly hair and a shining golden halo. She had gone out earlier than him.
Amos's expression softened in an instant: "Algae algae."
“Beep!”
The cub opened the door and walked closer, holding the ghost bear. He wasn't so conspicuous before, but now, standing among the tall crown clan members, he was really too small.
"Beep, are you done? Where are we going later?"
The little guy also looked up at the people around him: "Grandpa Meilun, Grandpa Kaman, uncle...uncle...um..."
The cub looked at Fei Man with some confusion.
Fei Man froze in place, not moving.
Amos squatted down and said, "We'll go to the practice field later. Your physical indicators have recovered well. Zao Zao needs to learn some fighting skills. Of course, it's just some exercise, and it's very simple."
Amos remembered something.
"This is your aunt, Fei Man."
The little cub was a little shy and hid behind Amos, blinking at her.
Fei Man appeared calm on the surface, but she was screaming in her heart - so small? ? ? ?
Where did her brother pick it up???
Oh my god! Oh my god!!!
"Sister, don't you have a gift?"
Although Anya was not liked by the little cub, at least he was called uncle. He was a little dazed for a moment and pushed Fei Man.
——Mecha? This little guy probably won't like it.
Could it be that there are relatives who share the little guy's disgust with him?
“Ah… yes…”
Fei Man moved the huge mecha out of the space button a little numbly.
The mecha was far too big for the little fellow, and the cub stared at it with blank blinks.
Fei Man: ...It seems I chose the wrong size.
Then Fei Man saw the little guy blink his eyes.
He hid behind Amos and said softly, "Thank you, Aunt Feiman."
Not only is it small and cute, but it is also very polite.
Fei Man's body suddenly froze again.
Her expression looked even colder.
"Your Majesty, I have work to do."
Fei Man left quickly, and Xiao Chuzao looked at Amos a little confused.
Amos picked up the little guy and walked towards the practice room.
The other crown family members did not follow because they had their own official business to attend to.
Only Mei Lun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zao Zao, your aunt Fei Man is just shy."
The little cub blinked blankly:?
Fei Man left quickly and walked quickly until she reached a place where there was no one. She looked around, with a cold face, and squatted in the corner. She covered her face with her hands, and the tips of her ears turned red quickly.
Ahh ...
She still had a cold face, feeling her heart beating hard.
What does it feel like?
He, he would also say - thank you Aunt Fei Man.
Hey——hehe.
*
Another place in the galaxy that has been experiencing frequent unexpected chaos during this period.
The Ball Alliance.
Except for the main planet and several other affiliated planets, the alliance has basically fallen into the hands of Lin Yuan, the leader of the revolutionary army.
"You still have to be careful of the Crown Clan of the Saint Cass Empire."
In a hidden meeting room, several hooded men were talking.
"After all, we got the news that a little cub appeared in the Crown Clan. He will most likely be trained to become the next emperor of Saint Cass. If there is another emperor, the Crown Clan's rule will continue for another hundred or even thousands of years."
"What's there to be careful about?"
The young man sitting on the main seat was wearing a dark blue military uniform and looked arrogant and domineering.
"I am about to destroy an immortal species. If it was a large clan of the Crown Clan in the past, no one would dare to provoke it. But now the Crown Clan is at the end of its rope, and the entire Saint Cass Empire is also about to die. I also have a video that I accidentally recorded here... I admit that their mental power is indeed very strong, but it's not that outrageous."
He raised his hand, clicked the switch on the remote control, and looked at the screen.
That was in the center of the storm. There was actually a member of the Crown Clan whose crown had been broken and was struggling. Unexpectedly, he did not self-destruct and managed to steady himself, but he also fell into complete madness and attacked the surrounding monsters endlessly. It was estimated that he would not stop until he exhausted himself. His body was covered in blood and it was impossible to recognize his original appearance.
After all, it is an emerging force, too far away from Saint Cass, and Lin Yuan does not have a very accurate understanding of the Crown Clan.
The man in the hood seemed to laugh at his naivety, but had no intention of stopping him - their Anthem organization would rather bring trouble to the Immortal Race, such as splitting the Bell Alliance. At this moment, the Bell Alliance was nearing its end, and Lin Yuan was no longer of much use. Naturally, they would not let Lin Yuan further experience the horror of the Crown Clan.
Because fear holds people back.
Hence the arrogant murmur of this young man, who had already almost dealt with an immortal, with strong mental strength.
"What a mess."
Lin Yuan looked at the guys who helped him disintegrate the Boer Alliance and said with a smile: "Do you need coordinates? I can send them to you."
*
The Royal Court of Saint Cas Emperor Star, the training ground.
Amos looked at the little guy, feeling a little helpless.
In the Crown Clan, cubs of this age should actually master some basic fighting skills.
But Amos looked at his cub's big round eyes and recalled for a long time, but he couldn't remember how he learned fighting in the past.
He only remembers that when he was a child, he and his brothers and sisters surrounded their father and beat him up, snatching the items his father was holding.
The more you practice and the more pain you get from being hit, you will know how to dodge and how to attack.
Amos hesitated for a moment, but still waved to the little guy.
"Algae."
"hold head high?"
Xiao Chuzao was looking back to see if his ghost bear was lying down properly.
When he heard Amos calling him, his little head turned and the halo above his head swayed twice.
Then Amos was holding a beautiful little gem in his hand.
"You come and try to grab this from Daddy."
"Why do you want to rob?"
The cub hesitated.
"Can't you just give it to Algae?"
That little face is so cute.
Amos was a little nervous for a moment.
He felt that there must be something wrong with his teaching method.
But he thought that instead of standing still, it would be better to move around a bit and let the little guy move around more, which would be good for the future.
"If Zao Zao can grab this, what do you think about Daddy carrying Zao Zao to take a look outside the royal court at night?"
Xiao Chuzao's eyes lit up.
He was also very curious about what was outside the royal court.
The little body quickly moved around.
"Beep, beep, Zao Zao is ready! Anything is fine, ok?"
Amos nodded, watching the little guy rush over like a little cannonball.
But he was too small and too slow.
Amos' main purpose was to allow the little guy to move around more, and he even put some water in there.
He crouched to deal with the little guy's attack.
As the cub ran, the halo above its head was still flickering.
Amos reached out and easily held the cub's small body.
Slowly lower the little guy to the ground - in slow motion, gently landing.
Little Chuzao, lying on his back, looked at the ceiling of the practice room and blinked.
He jumped up, and the desire to win of the Crown Clan began to burn.
"Zao Zao is here again!"
This parent-child activity lasted for about half an hour. In the end, the cub was knocked down by Amos too many times. It flapped its little wings and clung tightly to Amos's hand.
Like a little sloth.
Amos held the gem high in one hand, half-knelt on the ground, looking at the little guy with amusement.
"Zao Zao, what is this..."
“Ouch!”
Without stopping, the cub opened its mouth and bit Amos's face.
This biting made Amos stunned.
The little guy took the opportunity to touch the gem in Amos's hand. His big eyes sparkled as he looked at Amos. His little halo swayed back and forth, and his little wings stood up - Zao Zao did it, praise Zao Zao.
Amos came back to his senses and touched the teeth marks on his face, which still had some of the cub's saliva.
He said any method would do - but Amos really didn't expect that this 'filial son' would bite him right on the face.
The cub was tiny, sitting in his arms, looking at the gem curiously.
But he is indeed almost active enough. If he moves around a little every day and increases the amount of exercise day by day, little Chuzao will not feel uncomfortable.
Amos handed the gem in his hand to the cub.
He glanced at other things in the practice room. The little guy's pinyin book was also brought by Amos. He was learning a pinyin song and had not started writing yet.
After a short rest, Amos remembered where they were and stood up, holding the little guy.
"Beep?"
Xiao Chuzao watched Amos walk out and subconsciously signaled Amos to take Zaozao's ghost bear with him.
When Zao Zao held the ghost bear in her arms, she found that the pockets on both sides of the ghost bear were just big enough to hold this beautiful little gem.
The cub looked at Amos and asked in confusion, "Ba Ba, where are we going?"
Amos turned down a side road.
That was the only open road after all the mechanical closures.
Amos hesitated for a moment.
He said to the little Chuzao in his arms: "Go and see Dad's former teacher."
Former...teacher?
"Well, in order to teach us training, his residence was very close to the practice room."
Amos said.
"But he lost his lover, his friends and... his wings. Dad hasn't seen Dad's teacher for a long time."
wing?
The cub opened his eyes wide and looked at Amos.
The little wings behind him trembled subconsciously.
Is that what he understood?
Xiao Chuzao was carried all the way to a villa. The villa looked a bit deserted. A pale-faced man was leaning against the huge floor-to-ceiling window. He had his eyes closed, as if he was lifeless.
Hearing the voice, he slowly opened his eyes, and his scarlet, crazy gaze met Amos's for a moment.
Hull looked at Amos and the cub in Amos' arms a little dazed.
He didn't quite understand what was going on.
But he didn't really want to understand.
Is it... a cub of the Crown Clan?
I don't know how it appeared, but it doesn't matter...
It has nothing to do with him...
So what are you doing here?
Your Majesty, there is no need to look anymore, and there is no need to meet again. He is alive only for the request of his lover. He has lost everything, including his healthy body - he is waiting for self-destruction. He probably never thought of this moment many years ago.
He had lost all value as a member of the crown family, and Hull closed his eyes again.
Little Chuzao hugged his father's neck, and he looked at Heer - there was such a sad atmosphere, as if Zaozao had lost something very important and loved, and Papa seemed... very sad too.
Amos held the little guy in his arms for a while, then he let out a breath and looked at the little guy again.
The little cub struggled a bit and tried to get down.
Amos put little Chu Zao down and took the Ghost Bear from the cub. He didn't quite understand what the little guy was going to do.
The little guy used two balls of snow to make a small snowman, and added two ears to the snowman's head - it was a snowman bear. The cub imitated Amos and placed the snowman bear on the window.
“Beep, beep—”
The little cub, whose hands were frozen, stretched out his hands and asked Amos to hug him.
He spoke softly.
"Pa pa, give Zao Zao a ghost bear to keep her company. Zao Zao should also make a bear to keep daddy's teacher company."
Amos was stunned for a moment, then he curled the corners of his lips as if relieved, and then spoke to Hull, who had not come out for many years.
"Teacher Hull, this is my cub, Zao Zao. I still hope to meet you, teacher. Goodbye, teacher."
Amos walked away holding the cub.
The gray thread of Hel's mental power quietly wrapped around the cub's small crown again.
Hull opened his eyes slowly.
He looked at the ugly little bear in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes looking a little empty and blank.
Amos's cub? This handiwork is exactly like the rotten Amos's...
Still very naive.
But now everything has nothing to do with him...
……Wait a moment.
Hull's reaction is now a little slow.
He glanced uncertainly in the direction Amos had left.
That voice—wait, why does that voice sound so familiar to him? ? ?
Where had he heard it before?
The cub was being carried back by Amos. He was still in a learning mood. He lay in Amos' arms and sang the Pinyin song in a soft voice.
So, Hull in the villa listened to the melody echoing in his head. He fell into deep thought. He tried to think about other things. Finally, he gave up thinking - finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and got up and opened the door.
"Amos!"
Hull was rarely in a state of collapse. This phonetic song and those tones had formed a magical loop in his mind.
His voice was hoarse as he called out to Amos who was about to leave.
Amos turned around and looked at Hale.
He was stunned.
—Has he walked out of the room?
But what kind of expression is this?
The cub who was humming and singing saw a gray silk thread connected to the top of its head.
Xiao Chuzao:?
Why is it on top of Zao Zao’s head?
Hull's hoarse voice sounded: "I just want to be quiet here. Although I don't know how you do it, but Your Majesty, please don't let him stay in my mind..." Singing...
Helka Shell, because he saw the cub take off the halo on his head.
Hale: ...?
"Baba—there's a strange thread wrapped around Algae Algae's halo."
Little Chuzao held the halo high up to show Amos, who was numb to the sight of little guys taking the halo off.
Hull was at a loss, and took a few steps back respectfully: ………
?????
Don’t call me teacher, you are my teachers.
