Leaving Florence
When entering the Dragon's Nest, Herman never imagined that his growth period would be so long, so long that alien races invaded, the entire universe was in turmoil, and he still hadn't come out even when the war broke out.
The young boy sleeping in the dragon's nest was completely unaware of the flow of time in the closed environment. He curled up in the deepest part of the Dragon Star, listening to the sound of the earth and the roar of the dragons.
The energy of the Dragon's Nest Slam was constantly burning Hermann's consciousness and body, but his subconscious told him that he should grow up quickly, faster and faster.
Otherwise...it will be too late...
Huh? What's too late? Hermann struggled to maintain clarity amidst the pain, but as this thought emerged, he actually opened his eyes.
The young man, whose stature gradually grew taller, opened his gilded pupils and looked above his head. There were countless magic circles suppressing his madness, an infinite cycle and shackles that could not be broken off. Staring at it for too long would make him fall asleep again.
The moment he opened his eyes, the magic circle slowly began to rotate. These unconscious dead objects sensed the increasingly manic aura of the golden dragon and chose to suppress it again.
Hmm... Before the pain and forced drowsiness came over him, Hermann closed his eyes and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
I wonder what my father and Ah Ling are doing at this time? I guess they haven't forgotten him, right?
The outside world had already changed. The massive invasion of foreign races had made the universe turbulent. The almost complete defeat of the war in the early stage had caused the various races that had originally had friction to spontaneously unite.
The small races depended on the big races, and the pattern of the entire universe changed in an instant.
Wen Ling didn't know what was happening outside. She was protected too well. She only knew that after returning from Mermaid Star, her mother no longer allowed her to leave Draenor, and she was not even allowed to leave Florence.
But it didn't matter. Now her best friend had returned to Dragon's Nest and she couldn't see him anymore, and her mother was always by her side, so it didn't matter if she didn't go out to play.
But... Wen Ling was holding the teddy bear toy her mother had given her. This was a gift her mother had brought back from Blue Star last week. Wen Ling lowered her head and gently rubbed the furry little face of the teddy bear.
It's just that her mother spends less time with her, and even has to attend meetings from time to time that she doesn't understand at all. Even though she is ignorant of the world, she understands that the outside world seems no longer so beautiful.
She saw many other races in Florence, and even saw the high priest she had seen on Mermaid Star before, and Hermann's father.
She wanted to go over and ask about Hermann's recent situation, but before she could get close to the conference room, she was stopped by the attendant who once doted on her the most.
Pusha felt a bit of a headache as he looked at the little prince who appeared out of nowhere and was about to rush into the meeting room.
"Your Highness, Ah Ling, the king is busy with important matters right now and cannot return to accompany you." The attendant looked tenderly at the child he had watched grow up, and said softly, "Would you please go back and wait a little longer?"
"You always say that..."
Pusha smiled, but still squatted down to touch Wen Ling, but when he bent down slightly, he found that Wen Ling could look at him at eye level.
Ah, the child has grown taller, time really flies.
"It's real this time." The man gently tucked up Wen Ling's hair that fell by her ears.
Wen Ling had no choice but to nod. It wasn't true. She knew Pusha was lying to her. She had clearly heard it...she had heard the conversation in the conference room.
Pusha really underestimated her mental strength.
She clearly heard them saying that the battle line had been pushed to the edge of the Zerg territory. She had seen her mother frowning last night, and combined with the recent tense atmosphere, she knew what had happened.
The war has broken out, even near the Insect Star.
What happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected the riot on the front to come so quickly. Wen Ling could only watch the Zerg around her bid farewell to her mother one after another until Pusha also left Florence and headed for the battlefield.
"Mother Goddess, your children are always with you."
She heard Pusha say this to his mother, and then he left after giving her a devout kiss. From then on, Wen Ling never saw him again.
This was the first time she understood what true separation was.
"Mother, will you leave me too?" Wen Ling couldn't help but ask in her heart as she looked at the back.
But the separation came too quickly. Before she even had time to prepare herself, she was taken to another place by Candice.
This was a place called the Elders' House. She had never been there before. She found it hard to believe that there was such a cold place in the beautiful Florence where she lived.
Wen Ling looked up and for the first time felt that the Zerg here were so tall. She was completely reduced to an ant in front of these insects.
Here, no insect was willing to squat down and talk to her anymore. This was the first lesson Wen Ling learned here.
"A Ling, can you please study here well for a while?" Candice held her child in her arms and gently stroked her hair.
"Maybe it takes a little while, but it's okay, I'll come back and get you."
"Baby, if something happens, we must first protect ourselves. Do you remember what I taught you?" Candice looked at her child with tenderness in her eyes.
"Of course I remember, mother." Wen Ling held her mother's hands and answered seriously, "I need to enter my incubation egg as soon as possible until you wake me up."
"Good boy." Candice kissed her baby for the last time.
What happened after that...she couldn't remember clearly.
She only remembered the laboratory with flames rising to the sky, the terrified expressions on the faces of those indifferent insects, and the splattering blood... She entered the breeding egg.
Then she fell into a deep sleep and was never awakened by her mother again.
…
Gurgle gurgle——
The bubbles at the bottom of the water kept rising due to the vibration. Wen Ling was awakened from her light sleep by the shaking. This was the fourth time she had woken up from light sleep. This was not a good sign, as it meant that the cub was not yet at ease with the environment it was in.
Wen Ling opened her eyes and swung her newly grown tail unhappily. What were those bugs from the Elders' Council doing? Could she possibly get a good night's sleep?
Wen Ling slowly swam to the top and peered outside through the translucent membrane. Hmm... seemed to be a space transfer station? Were the elders discussing which route to Dragon Star?
When Wen Ling heard that they were preparing to go to Longxing, her ears pricked up immediately.
Ah... The great elders were stopped, saying that they were suspected of being involved in military smuggling or something?
Ah... there was a quarrel, the elders said they would bring the Zerg army to raze this space station... Ah, the chief elder was scolded by the space station staff for being disorderly!
Wen Ling rubbed her hands. If there wasn't something empty inside the incubation egg, she really wanted to use the Star Brain to record this famous scene and watch it over and over again. Hehe...
The elders of the Council of Elders usually hold high positions and have always played the role of dictators in the Council of Elders on Insect Star. Have they ever been subjected to such interrogation outside?
What does it mean to suspect that the Zerg are taking advantage of the interstellar war to smuggle the offspring of other races?
In the interstellar world, smuggling and trafficking cubs is a serious crime, especially among several major races. It is absolutely an unforgivable sin.
Hearing that this group of guys actually questioned their mistreatment of cubs during smuggling, the elders once again experienced what it meant to be speechless. For a moment, feelings of grievance, disbelief, and shock spread in their hearts.
Treating the cubs harshly?! Do these words have anything to do with them?!
The original plan was to take a more remote route to Dragon Star, but this damn kid said it was cold and wanted to take a hot spring bath, then said she wanted to smell the flowers for the development of the cubs... She made a lot of requests, and if you dared to disagree, she would immediately play dead and turn into a dead egg.
They've been completely worn out by this kid. They took this route because he suggested taking a detour to see the scenery, and now someone is accusing them of mistreating their cubs! This is simply outrageous!
The Great Elder looked at the staff with a cold face, but when they asked the question, "Aren't the Zerg cubs born from the mother's body? How can there be embryos?", even he paused.
It's common knowledge across the galaxy that Zerg cubs are born from their mother's womb, and this is indeed true, but...but...the cubs of the Zerg King are naturally a little different...
Okay, okay...
The elders agreed with surprise to the request to stay in this space station for two days. It was not that they really wanted the staff to examine them for two days. Going out with this child was really tiring, and they really needed to rest. It was really hard to take care of a child!
The Great Elder sighed softly. If there had not been a rebellion in Draenor, there would be no need for them to take the future princess to Dragon Star to seek refuge.
The tall Zerg that always had straight backs became a little hunched over the past few days of running around. They no longer dared to let Wen Ling stay in Florence. Hatching a new Zerg queen really required a huge amount of energy. The things they had prepared for Wen Ling before were almost destroyed in the war.
Only the dragon's nest... the power accumulated there might allow the little prince to break out of the cocoon and give birth to another insect mother for the insect race.
The Great Elder lowered his brows, and his snow-white robe slipped down from his wrists. He gently touched the growing nurturing egg in his hand with his fingertips.
Since they brought this cultivated egg out from Florence, it has gradually grown from a small egg into a size that cannot be held by one person. It has really grown up.
The white eggshell was gradually revealing an intricate pattern, and a warm sensation spread across it when my fingertips touched it. This child, though somewhat disobedient and spoiled, made me want to pull her out of the eggshell and give her a beating when I got a headache.
But when she lay there quietly, even shaking the eggshell and rubbing it against herself, he still felt that she was a good child and would become a good princess of the Zerg in the future.
Of course they would use everything, even their own lives, to protect this child, and no one could hurt her.
