Chapter 101 Temporary Departure
After Edrien finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong. The late emperor was Morris's father, and his behavior was no different from that of the late emperor. So he told Morris that he was going to dig up his ancestors' graves.
"I'll go with you." Morris stood up, naked, and took the bathrobe beside him to wrap his lower body. "But the imperial mausoleum is guarded by the Tenth Army, so it's a bit difficult to get in."
Adrian frowned: "Colin?"
"That's not a big deal, Colin. The imperial mausoleum is not far from the palace guard station, so it's easy to attract other insects here," Morris said. "We need to control the time."
He spoke in a calm tone, as if the imperial mausoleum had nothing to do with him. Morris only mentioned the emperor's body buried there in passing.
Adrien didn't know about the previous dynasty.
But the current Emperor Chong is particularly cruel. After he usurped the throne, he killed almost all the princes of the previous dynasty. Whether the former emperor's body is really buried in the imperial mausoleum, I am afraid only he himself knows.
Edrian sighed and hooked his fingers around Morris, who took the hint and came forward to straddle Edrian's thighs.
Morris controlled his body every time and just sat on Adrian's legs a little, feeling heavy but not enough to cause Adrian to feel pain.
"Is your eye better?" Adrian touched the area around Morris' right eye with his fingertips. The skin there was still a little uneven after Morris took off the artificial skin, with a small scar left after the operation.
Morris tilted his face, his eyelashes were pure black and thick, and he stroked them across Edrien's palm. "My lord, I can see you."
Edrian chuckled, resting his forehead on Morris' chest, and slowly leaving a line of wet kisses down his chest to his waist and abdomen.
"Remember to cover it up before entering the imperial mausoleum, so other insects don't find it."
"I know." Morris hugged Adrian's neck and said in a suppressed voice. His chest skin was hot from being licked and bitten, and it was even slightly swollen after Adrian left. "I'm ready."
"Okay." Adrian stopped when he saw that things were going well. He picked up the laundry next to him and placed it beside Morris. "Go wash it."
The warmth on his chest faded away instantly, and the cold air climbed back onto his skin. Morris was a little stunned, and there were still bite marks on his chest that occasionally stung, as if he was waiting for Edrien to make further moves.
Adrian patted Morris's lower back. There was a flicker of light in his green eyes, and he looked puzzled: "Morris?"
Morris's expression suddenly changed. He stood up from Adrian's legs, picked up his clothes and walked quickly to the bathroom.
Adrian watched his back disappear quickly from his sight. The glass door of the bathroom was closed, and only the figure inside could be vaguely seen. A few seconds later, the sound of water flowing out from inside.
Adrian narrowed his eyes, looked at the marks on the bed sheet, pulled it off and threw it aside.
Ultimately it all comes down to the auction house, and it’s safer to get rid of anything related to them as soon as possible.
Morris was still taking a shower in the bathroom. Adrian estimated the time it would take him to finish showering and took out the miniature earphones from his pocket.
There was only one of the mini earphones left, and the other had long been missing. Adrian's previous communications with A'ran were all filled with noise, so this time he was just taking the risk and trying it again.
"…Your Excellency?"
After a blank period of nearly twenty seconds, the insect's questioning voice was heard from the other side.
Adrian recognized the sound of the insect and asked, "Fabian?"
"Sir, it's me." Fabian answered from the other end, "Prince Aran is with me. We are both in the black market now. Where are you?"
Adrian heaved a sigh of relief. He said, "I've encountered a familiar here and am about to leave. Has the doctor caught him?"
"We have located him and are planning to capture him the day after tomorrow."
Adrian didn't plan to stay in the black market any longer. He nodded, and then told Fabian and the others the news about Cecil.
Fabian was a little surprised. He said, "Okay, sir. We will do our best to rescue Prince Cecil. But the North Cemetery is heavily guarded. Are you sure you don't want us to go with you?"
Adrian was waiting for this, so he said, "We are outnumbered and of course we need help. It would be great if Prince Aran could provide assistance from outside."
Fabian laughed twice and said, "Don't worry, sir. Prince Aran is so courageous that he will definitely be willing to help you monitor the movements inside the palace."
Adrian raised his eyebrows. A'ran hadn't spoken a word so far, but Fabian had arranged everything for him.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
The sound of water in the bathroom had died down, and Adrian lowered his voice. He spoke briefly to Fabian and then hung up the call.
When Morris came out, Edrian was bending over the table, fiddling with his laptop.
Adrian's own new version of the optical computer was stolen by thieves some time ago. He has never been idle and now he is even thinking about Morris's optical computer.
Morris has a lot of software in his computer, but they are all for managing and decompressing files. The only two software related to entertainment are for the convenience of sending messages.
Seeing Morris coming out, Adrian put the computer back to its original place, as if nothing had happened: "When are we leaving?"
Morris's eyes stayed on his computer for a few seconds before moving away. He said, "My Lord, I have found a flying vehicle. We can leave this afternoon."
Adrian had packed his things long ago. He looked at the distance between the black market and the North Cemetery on the map and figured he could get there by flying around midnight.
This is the best time. In the middle of the night, the female soldiers are less guarded and they can find a chance to sneak in.
"My lord, you are not for sale. I can't take you with me." Morris said suddenly when he saw Edrien stuffing the handcuffs and leg cuffs into the drawer.
Adrian paused, squatting in front of the drawer, and looked up at Morris: "What should we do?"
Adrien felt cold after he finished speaking. Morris put the pure white mask on Adrien's face and said, "I'll give you a new skin."
*
Male and female insects with silver and diamond markings pass through the auction house from time to time. In this auction house, the more they consume, the higher their level will be, and the corresponding diamond markings will be more obvious.
But there are almost no Zerg with the diamond mark.
The sound of footsteps in the corridor gradually faded. The female insects that came to consume stood on both sides of the wall, focusing their attention on the center front.
A rare male insect VIP, wearing a blank mask, was walking back with the female slave he had just bought.
At first glance, the female slave didn't look like the type that a normal male insect would like. She was tall, but her skin was dark chocolate, and when she lowered her head, her black hair hung down, making it even harder to see her face.
The male insect simply put a black robe on the female slave. Although the fabric was rough and hard, it covered all the easily exposed parts of the female slave's body.
The female insects secretly looked at the figure of the female slave. The female slave seemed to be seriously injured, with slow steps and blood stains at the corners of her mouth.
But the waist is thin, the legs are long, and the leg muscles are tight and powerful. The skin that was occasionally exposed under the black robe was delicate. After looking at it for more than ten seconds, they knew that this female slave's physical indicators were all excellent.
