Lanhuadis 60 (bug catching)
One week after the King's Enthronement Ceremony.
Ning Ren kept trying to persuade Wen Duolin to go to the front line.
Unable to stop him, Wen Duolin took him there. After three days, he was quickly sent back. Although it was only three days, Ning Ren had successfully sneaked out to test the bracelet on his arm—the liquefied form of the blood of the gods.
It has a strong restraining and eliminating effect on the evil spirits in the cracks in the sky.
In this way, he was finally relieved and stayed in the temple obediently, no longer making trouble.
Bai Ya did not show up at his coronation ceremony, nor was he seen in the room in the castle. Ning Ren did not go looking for him. He lived his life as usual and began to plan the Tianxiao drill that would officially begin after this month.
In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival arrived.
This year's Lantern Festival did not snow like in previous years. It was dry and cold. The fireplace in the castle was burning hot. Xiercheng leaned beside it with a smile on his face, holding two years of top-grade lava that he had won in the last bet.
Dorothea was holding a pile of blueprints that none of them could understand. Her eyes were excited and strange, and her face looked much more haggard. It must be that there has been progress in her research on weapons to restrain the sky crack.
Jamimi was always worried that she would starve to death, so she would occasionally feed her a few dried fruits like feeding a cat.
Ning Ren also lazily lay on the soft sofa. He also brought the psychedelic flower, which was now working hard to massage his shoulders with its petals.
Carlos is reading a book.
Ning Ren: "Second brother, are the eldest sister and fourth brother really not coming back?"
Carlos: “Yeah.”
Ning Ren said sullenly: "Okay."
Carlos: "My eldest sister takes the Sky Crack drill very seriously and has been preparing for it. That's why she's not planning on coming back this year. Fourth brother is in charge of recruiting soldiers, and after the Lunar New Year, the soldiers he trained will be dispersed, so he's spending this Lunar New Year with them."
Dorothea looked up and grumbled, "It's okay. The five of us celebrate it all the same. Little Seven, you don't know, but before you hatched, I celebrated the Yuan Festival by myself several times."
Jamimi laughed out loud: "Me too, I was bored at home so I went out to play, but everyone else was celebrating the holiday at home, and I felt like a homeless child."
He is the most comfortable one in the family. He was dragged to the violent area by Carlos before. He finally patiently studied hard for a few days, and as a result, his younger brother became the king.
He's still trying so hard, just keep playing!
Fortunately, he barely managed to graduate. He was purely a person of connections and found an easy job and just held the title.
Xiercheng put the lava aside to prevent his brother from touching it.
"There's still next time. It's no problem to get together every day after we're done with this busy period."
While they were talking animatedly, Nimansen and his attendants served the dishes. There were always a few dishes on the table that were loved by these princes, such as Ning Ren's favorite fish soup, grilled fish, various delicious fish and glass berries.
Everyone sits down according to seating order.
Ning Ren is still in his seventh position. At home, he is either the king of Lanhuadis or the youngest brother in the family.
bite--
The time came to twelve o'clock.
The sound of fireworks rang out outside on time.
"Hurrah! Eat!"
"Come on! Cheers!"
They smiled and raised their glasses, some drank lava, some drank ice wine, and some drank juice. When the drinks got hot, Dorothea and Carmichael started arguing again.
Ning Ren waved away the regret, sighed in his heart, and finished the drink with a smile.
"very nice."

After the Lantern Festival.
Lan Huadis's Sky Crack drill began in full swing under the guidance and mobilization of the royal court and the army.
During the first round of drills, some tribesmen who were unaware of the situation fell into panic. This was very similar to the preparations before the sky crack during the reign of Emperor Felix the Great more than ten years ago!
Ning Ren was in the temple looking at the treasure sent by Wansen Forest, called Tianyingzi.
Tianyingzi is a strange-shaped glowing stone, about the size of Ning Ren's fist. Its function is to expand the range of a person's mental power.
It cannot be used during drills, as it will cause damage to Tianyingzi.
During the last Tiancrack, Tianyingzi consumed too much energy and has only just recovered now.
This treasure is definitely not the most precious in the entire Wansen Forest, but it is definitely the most unique. It really surprised Ning Ren that the leaders of Wansen Forest would bring this thing to him and let him deal with it.
Carlos was not surprised: "Wansen Forest and Lanhuadis are closely related. They are two different forces, but they are like cousins, they are considered a family."
He handed over a stack of reports submitted by the heads of various civilian areas.
“This was a problem discovered during the first drill.”
Ning Ren opened it and took a look.
In addition to the people of Lanhuadis in the royal court and the civilian area, there are also some people who have settled outside. After all, the Eastern Region is the territory of Lanhuadis, so it doesn’t matter if they don’t live here.
However, this resulted in a strong cohesion between the royal court and the civilian area, while the tribesmen scattered outside were too scattered and loose. There were also some scattered households living near the front line and tribesmen who thrived in the garrison city...
He could only try his best to bring back those tribesmen who were not involved in the livelihood of the front line and were willing to move inland.
There is also the problem of food looting.
Ning Ren didn't know how long this sky crack would last, but he had already stored food in the royal court and various civilian areas, so there would definitely be enough to eat.
After re-applying a few patches and issuing decrees, Ning Ren waited for the training situation reported by his elder sister from the front line.
In comparison, the soldiers on the front line are indeed of better quality than those in the inner circle.
The first round of drills lasted for a month. After a half-month break, the second round was conducted. During the second round, everyone was much calmer, but some people who had experienced the crack in the sky felt sympathetic and glanced at the sky from time to time, fearing that one day there would really be a hole in the sky again.
They told their newborn cubs, "...that guy named Antonhal is a bad guy. He once spread rumors that the Sky Crack was a good thing. That's bullshit."
"Ah, then he is really bad, but Mom, what is the crack in the sky?"
"That's one of the scariest things in the world. Come to mommy and I'll tell you a story..."
-
One day during the third round of drills.
Ning Ren, who was sleeping soundly in the temple, suddenly woke up with cold sweat on his forehead.
He called up the countdown for [Miracle Salvation], and the scarlet seconds on it made his heart beat faster.
Ning Ren suddenly realized a problem that he had subconsciously ignored before.
The first time he used a miracle to save the world, he completed the seal on the sky crack when the countdown was over. But what about now?
Is the countdown on Miracle Salvation a countdown to when the crack in the sky appears, or a countdown to when the crack in the sky is completely resolved?
He subconsciously thought it was the former.
However, there is no introduction to [Miracle Salvation] above, and the mall assistant does not explain it either.
Ning Ren suppressed his palpitations, opened the live broadcast room mall, and asked this question.
The store assistant said, "Both are possible. The difficulty mode you choose is the only one with keywords. Everything else is up to you to explore."
So whether this countdown represents the beginning or the end of the sky crack is something Ning Ren needs to figure out for himself.
Ning Ren: "What if I don't react and the Sky Crack appears before the countdown?"
Mall Assistant: "Then this is also your choice."
Ning Ren: "My plans are all messed up."
Mall Assistant: "Sorry, please don't be angry. I'm just an assistant and can't interfere with the characteristics of the product itself."
After closing the live broadcast room, Ning Ren leaned against the head of the bed, took a deep breath, and buried his face deeply in his arms.
His palms were cold and his heartbeat was very irregular.
After a while, the system appeared: "Baby? I've already scolded it for you."
Ning Ren: "I was careless this time. I was too careless."
The system understands this feeling. When it was still in the system college, the teacher assigned homework and said it should be submitted at the beginning of September. It kept procrastinating until mid-August, and then the teacher informed them that school might have to start early.
My heart was beating so fast that I didn't know how to make up the homework.
Especially since this isn't just about homework, this countdown concerns the lives of so many people.
[Hug my little Erli, is this a nightmare?]
[It must be stressful, after all, he's the only one who knows about it, so it's hard not to feel pressured.]
[Rub my baby, it hurts.]
Ning Ren regretted why he didn't learn more when he was a child. If he had read the complete version of historical records, he wouldn't have to be so worried now.
Then he felt lucky that he had reacted in time and it wasn't too bad.
the next day.
Ning Ren adjusted the exercise plan. After the third round of exercises, he suspended the original plan and all soldiers remained in their original positions to respond to changes with the same strategy.
He himself began to have trouble sleeping every day, waking up from nightmares from time to time. By June, his mental state was visibly getting worse.
Because he had not had enough rest for a long time, nosebleeds and low-grade fever were considered minor symptoms. He even had symptoms of dizziness in recent days.
The doctor who treated him privately couldn't help but tell Carlos about it.
When Carlos showed up to arrest someone, he happened to see Ning Ren tilting his head back and stuffing cotton balls into his nose in a very unpresentable manner.
As if to make the blood clot smaller and more concealed, he still stuffed it in the form of a cub.
Carlos picked up Ning Ren on the spot. His face hadn't looked so ugly in a long time.
Ning Ren was too focused, so he was still dazed when he was suddenly suspended in the air. His collar turned around, and he turned around to see his second brother's ashen face.
“…”
Ning Ren hid the cotton ball in his palm and put his hands behind his back. As a result, his nose felt hot and a stream of blood slowly flowed down.
“…”
Both faces were silent.
Carlos grabbed him, found a new cotton ball, and wiped the blockage clean first, and also wiped the blood that accidentally stained Ning Ren's fingers.
Ning Ren's ears were red.
The protagonists in storybooks always look as handsome as possible when they are injured and bleeding. Even when they suffer from insomnia, they still look handsome in a decadent way... Why is it that when it comes to him, he has a nosebleed?
Usually, little perverts would do this when they see beautiful women.
Most of the little perverts are villain supporting roles. He acts so uprightly, he can't be considered a villain.
Ning Ren's mind was in a mess. After his hands were cleaned and disinfected, Carlos asked him, "I already know that the God's Blood is ineffective, but why didn't you tell your family about your insomnia and palpitations?"
Ning Ren na na.
Carlos looked unhappy, but he didn't say much to blame.
He just touched his head and said: “Go home and live, don’t stay in the temple, wait until you are well again.
"Your third brother, Carmi, and I have some free time. We'll take turns sleeping with you during the day. We'll fight off any nightmares."
Carlos is always like this when facing Ning Ren's cub form. He can't lose his temper and his tone is habitually coaxing.
So what if he was sixteen? Whether he was sixty or one hundred and sixty, in their eyes, his brother was still the little brat they had raised with so much effort.
These two ordinary sentences made Ning Ren feel uncomfortable and soft.
He hadn't acted like a spoiled child for a long time, but this time he took the initiative to bump his head into Carlos' palm, and his wings folded up, turning into a sesame ball.
-
From that day on, Ning Ren moved back to his original room in the castle.
Although it was against the rules, the king's health was the most important thing, so no one dared to say anything. However, when the news reached the civilian area, it caused some concern among the tribesmen.
Their king is not yet an adult, so why does his health seem to be getting worse every year?
For two months, more and more tribesmen came to kowtow to the tower and pray for the king's health and longevity.
During the two months, Carlos, Xiercheng and Gamimi took turns to watch over Ning Ren while he slept, and Ning Ren could barely get a good night's sleep.
The closer the countdown got, the calmer he felt and the better his sleep quality became.
He became increasingly certain that this countdown was indeed the time for the Sky Crack to appear, and he breathed a sigh of relief. To Ning Ren, a knife that could fall at any time was more terrifying than a knife that would only fall when the time was right.
He left the castle with only three days left in the countdown.
Seeing that he was in good mental state, Carlos reluctantly let him go, but sent Xiercheng as a supervisory envoy to follow him and monitor him.
Ning Ren resolutely obeyed the arrangements of his second brother, and immediately transferred his second brother to the Third Army on standby, and issued a notice of the last exercise across the entire region.
Let my second brother stay there for the next three days!
The last day.
Ning Ren sat on the holy vine, holding the irregular piece of Tianyingzi in his hand, looking at the night sky silently.
There was not a single bird flying in the night sky, nor was there any insect chirping.
Countdown ten seconds.
A white crow was in an unknown cave, holding a leaf in its mouth and weighing two stones in its hands, staring at the sky in a daze.
Countdown five seconds.
In a certain family, the elderly in the family called back the playful children from outside.
They all knew that they would be rehearsing again soon.
You can't wander around outside, otherwise it will affect the military training.
Countdown three seconds.
The soldiers on the front line were dressed neatly, and Wendoline stood on the command platform, solemnly preparing to give orders.
One second countdown.
When everyone was preparing to begin the drill, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky. The speed was so fast that it could be seen with the naked eye. The two sealing seals that were originally placed on the crack in the sky quickly disappeared.
Invisible terror instantly overwhelmed the continent.
It didn't give anyone time to react. Countless black air poured out and rushed madly towards the creatures on this continent, devouring their flesh and blood, and turning these creatures that had barely survived the last disaster into its own army of evil spirits.
The huge eye slowly opened.
For some reason, the speed at which it formed was far greater than when it was in the City of Chaos. This did not match the time described by the Guhuo Bird, which stated that the rift would appear faster the later it was formed.
And Lanhuadis fell into extreme silence.
Countless people stared at the crack in the sky with wide eyes, and an indescribable panic quickly spread.
Isn't this a drill?
Why is the sky really cracked!
After a brief moment of surprise, Carlos immediately shouted, "All soldiers! Follow the experience of previous drills to appease the tribesmen! If anyone disobeys, the general will execute them without reporting to him to restore military discipline!"
Xierting guarded the entire royal court, turning it into an iron barrel, with an extremely solemn look.
Dorothea raised her head from the heavy research materials, the weapon in her hand was already half-finished.
Xiercheng quickly rushed from his room to where Ning Ren was. After searching anxiously, his eyes suddenly fixed.
The young man held up by the holy vine poured his spiritual power into Tianyingzi.
He made seals with his hands.
The sudden gust of wind blew the young king's hair and the bright red silk in front of him was also blown up.
A spiritual barrier composed of gold, silver and black instantly unfolded from the royal court, almost covering the entire tribe, and protecting the panicked tribesmen under its wings with incredible strength!
Most of the fear disappeared in an instant, replaced by uncontrollable peace of mind and ecstasy.
That is...
The breath of their king!
The king's voice, carried further by his spiritual power, was extremely clear, carrying with it the unparalleled youthful spirit and sharp edge.
"If you invade my Eastern Region twice within fifteen years, even if you are a crack in the sky, I will kill you with my sword!"
