Extra: About the Little Hedgehog's Annual Return
The four domain races that gathered in the City of Chaos gradually left the Northern Territory.
Soon, with their departure, the news that the sky crack had ended and would never appear again spread rapidly throughout the four regions. In the various exaggerated descriptions, the gods that appeared were full of mystery.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the three top races in the four domains involved in this matter.
Unexpectedly, Lan Huadis, a member of the royal family of the Eastern Region, and the mermaids of the Western Sea, did not leave the Northern Region and return to their own areas after the disaster, but stayed there in tacit understanding.
Once you stay, it will be a whole month.
During this month, the atmosphere in the City of Chaos was extremely tense.
People come in and out of the conference room in the palace almost every day. The faces of the people coming and going are serious. If you don't know, you might think that the Mi tribe, the mermaid tribe and Lan Huadis are going to start a war of the century.
However, what they actually discussed was:
"No! Our king's birthday is in June, so the king must spend May, June, July, and August in our Lanhuadis! Furthermore, there are various traditional festivals of the tribe. If the king is not in the Eastern Region, what's the point of celebrating these festivals?!"
Xier smiled elegantly and put forward a time table that was accurate to the minute, even taking into account the unequal length of day and night in the four seasons.
Abra retorted, "You Lanhuadis have endured a century without a king, and now you're saying you can't celebrate your festival without a king. Isn't that a joke?"
Also, if I remember correctly, didn't you guys not believe in gods before? This is hilarious. A group of people who claim to have been abandoned by the gods are now fighting for a king who has become a god. If this gets out, will you Lan Huadis have any shame?
Lorenzo argued, "It's difficult for the mermaids to reproduce, and summer is the critical period. We don't care about anything else. King Xia must be in the Western Sea. And—he is our king!!"
His tone was very sad and angry.
Who understands.
Their good king came to the city of chaos and turned from a fish into a hedgehog!
Woo woo woo.
Where can they, the mermaids, go to complain about their grievances?
The group of old men and women from the tribe who came with them almost fainted when they heard the news. The only thing they could be thankful for was that although the king had turned into a hedgehog, his voice that could comfort the tribe was still there.
They would not have become a group of orphans with no one to take care of them.
Damn Lan Huadis. He used to call them brothers when they were doing trade, but now that the issue of the king's ownership is involved, he is being more ruthless than the last!
Asulin sat calmly in the main seat and drank some tea.
"No matter how you argue, Aren's Metaverse must be celebrated in the City of Chaos."
“Why?”
This made the other mermaids and Lan Huadis unhappy.
After all, the Yuan Festival is a rare festival that unites all races on the continent. Even Lan Huadis, who doesn't like festivals, will reunite with his family on this day.
Why do you, the Mi people, take over such a good day just like that?!
A Sulin: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter."
Abra snorted coldly: "You Mi people, don't be so domineering."
Carlos frowned. "The Yuan Festival is a major festival, held every three years. If you take all of Chaos City, Lan Huadis will be the first to disagree! His home isn't just Chaos City; the East Region is Xiaoqi's home as well."
Xiercheng smiled slightly, and said a few words casually, but they were like a knife stabbing into the hearts of the mermaids.
"How long has Xiao Qi been in the Western Sea? He doesn't have parents or siblings, so the merman tribe has the weakest bond with him. So... the Western Sea can't really be considered Xiao Qi's home."
Lorenzo glared at him: "You!"
A Sulin raised his eyebrows slightly, took another sip of tea, and hid the smile on his lips.
good.
The Third Prince of Lanhuadis said it very well.
The Western Sea is where the fish hang out, and A Ren is the hedgehog, going wherever he wants and doing whatever he wants.
Guhuo Bird did not participate in their fight, but stood on the chandelier in the hall. Simao next to her very consciously handed her a handful of melon seeds.
A bird and a cat were eating melon seeds and watching the show with great joy.
Abra slammed the table and stood up. "You always seemed gentle and refined, and you were extremely polite when you came to our Western Sea to borrow the blood of the gods. I never thought you would be the one with the worst heart!"
But he also knew that the mermaids were not at an advantage in this matter.
He had a lot of grievances and resentment that he had no place to vent, and he felt so miserable being bullied by these two tribes. After all, Wang did have a deep relationship with the Mi tribe and Lan Huadis.
Ye Lu swallowed the melon seeds and chuckled, "Now it's time to roll up our sleeves and fight."
Si Mao: "Let's bet on who will win this time?"
Ye Lu: "Tsk tsk, after all, this is the home turf of Chaos City. If they insist on detaining Yuan, these two tribes will have no choice but to suffer in silence."
When the atmosphere was at its most tense, a guard came in hurriedly, his expression anxious but with a hint of calmness that he was used to.
"Chief! Young Master Aren ran away again!!"
A Sulin immediately said: "Today's meeting is temporarily over. We will discuss it tomorrow if there is anything."
After saying this, he waved his sleeves and left.
-
Ning Ren's fourth attempt to escape failed and he was captured by Ning Lie himself.
He sighed and lay on the tray - his body was covered with thorns and he couldn't bring himself to scratch anything.
So Ning Ren was brought directly to the dining table in the royal bedroom.
Currently in the City of Chaos, Ning Ren’s food, clothing, housing and transportation are taken over by the City of Chaos, and he eats and lives in the royal city.
After the sky crack was eliminated, everyone reached a consensus that Ning Ren would stay in each of the three places for four months in the twelve months of the year, which was fair and just.
The Guhuo bird has no tribe, so it can make a small nest on Ning Ren's back and follow him all the time.
After Ning Ren came back and made sure that he would not disappear again, Ye Lu's mother gradually regained her energy and spirit. She no longer stared at him without blinking like she did in the first few days, but often went out to hang out with Si Mao.
The two of them got to know each other through fighting and became old sisters, spending all day together playing cards.
Anyway, her son is being watched by the City of Chaos, and she is also in the City of Chaos and cannot get lost, so what is there to be afraid of?
Ning Ren had only been in the City of Chaos for a month, but he couldn't wait to get out.
Because even though it was confirmed that he would stay in each place for four months, the specific months he would stay in each place had not been decided yet. He was in meetings all day long and basically no one paid any attention to him during the day.
It's really boring.
Asulin raised his hand, and the servant brought Ning Ren's food to him.
He looked at the listless appearance of the little hedgehog and sighed, "It's not that I won't let you go out, but your mental strength is still weak. Apart from the thorns on your body, you have no offensive power at all. You will be eaten if you go out."
He was also helpless. When A Ren left him, he was a little child, but when he came back, he had become a mature adult.
It was impossible for Asulin to get along with the cub A Ren as he did before, and he couldn't adapt to the situation for a while.
After all, he did not participate in the entire process of A Ren's growth.
Ning Ren didn't know what his father was thinking, so he squatted on the table and ate.
Alas, in fact, with the help of Heaven, he would not die even if he encountered danger. But he could not say this. If he said it, people would think that Heaven was partial and it would undermine the majesty of Heaven.
People are really strange. When they are at home, they want to go out. After staying outside for a long time, they want to go home.
Ning Ren's thoughts drifted to mountains and rivers, strange and beautiful scenery, strange stories and legends... He had been reincarnated three times, and each time he was burdened by the task of saving the world. Now that he was free from any constraints, he especially wanted to walk around and take a look at every corner of the world.
Asulin saw that he was absent-minded.
After dinner, the father and son had a heart-to-heart talk in the study.
Ning Ren did push-ups to help digestion before bed. The little hedgehog's short arms were trembling as he tried hard, and it was difficult to see the ups and downs of the push-ups.
"Dad, haven't you decided where I'm going to be for the four months every year? Why did I hear from Uncle Ninglie that you guys are fighting?"
A Sulin lied calmly: "It will be soon. Don't listen to his nonsense. They are all top races, how can they be so barbaric?"
Ning Ren thought so too.
His father was calm and aloof, his brothers and sisters were from the royal family of Lanhuadis, and the two city lords of the mermaid tribe were even more polite. It was hard to imagine them quarreling.
Asulin changed the subject: "Erigalan is you, so you recognized me when we were in Lanhuadis?"
Ning Ren nodded honestly: "Yes."
A Sulin recalled the scene of their initial encounter and shook his head after a moment: "I don't remember it clearly."
A hundred years have passed. He had only met Errigalan a few times, and the next time he heard about it was the news of Errigalan's death.
Ning Ren: "Dad, why are you asking this?"
A Sulin just smiled and said, "Nothing, just curious."
"Anyway, I'm here now. The crack in the sky has disappeared, and I still have a long, long time to stay by your side." Ning Ren coughed lightly, "Dad, let's make a deal. When my mental strength can protect myself, I'll go out for a walk."
A Sulin: "According to the agreement, you will go to the other two places after the Yuan Festival. If you slip away, Lan Huadisi and the Western Sea will have waited in vain."
Ning Ren paused his pre-bedtime exercise and slumped down on the table, exhausted. "Lanhuadis is now very stable with two Eight-Patterned Warriors in charge. I'll just go there and take a look. As for the Western Sea... they will eventually welcome their king. I'll go there once a year to sing for them and calm their tempers. I won't stay there for long."
He has his own little plans going on very quickly and is very easy to please.
"That's why I spent the longest time in the City of Chaos. Besides, our family's business is so prosperous. No matter where I go, I can always come back with our caravan when I get tired of playing."
The word "our home" made Asulin feel quite comfortable.
A Sulin smiled and said, "When you are strong enough to protect yourself, I will give you some self-defense treasures and I will not stop you anymore."
Anyway, he wasn't the one who was left out, so let those two races go crazy on their own.
Ning Ren: "Okay!"
A Sulin: "Go and have a rest."
Ning Ren's room was next to his. After watching Ning Ren leave, Asulin sat at the desk for half the night, then got up and went to the bookshelf in the stone house.
He pulled out a few books from the shelf.
All of them are about the history during the reign of Lanhuadis Erigalan.
He flipped through the books one by one. In fact, he had read all these books before, but his mood was different now, so the feeling he had when reading them was naturally different from usual.
Asulin's fingertips stopped at a certain place on the page and paused.
It records a passage of history, which is the ending of the 621st king of Lanhuadis:
[The sky is filled with blood, the forest is burned by fire, the king's tower falls, and the body and soul disappear.]
A Ren's time is reversed.
It should be after Ah Ren left him that he appeared in Lan Huadis, but at that time Ah Ren didn't even know the meaning of death...
During the conversation, we learned that A Ren had memories of Lanhuadis. So when he found out that death meant he could never return to the City of Chaos, was he very sad?
What kind of feeling would you have when you meet 'him' again as a king in another time and space?
What was he thinking when he was about to die again?
Asulin had no way of knowing.
Sitting under the lamp, he could only glimpse his child's growth from the cold and boring historical records.
