"boom--"
The heavy motorcycle sped along at high speed, and the extremely high decibel noise made everyone along the way look sideways, and the men's eyes quickly changed from displeasure to envy.
They were speeding all the way, and before a turn, Elliot suddenly drifted and stopped. Wen Xingze was almost thrown out. Elliot grabbed his collar and put him back in place.
"You're too light, kid. You should eat more so you don't fly away!"
Wen Xingze: “…”
Wen Xingze: "According to the law of conservation of momentum, even if I were a 200-pound fat man, I would still fly out."
"Is two hundred pounds a lot?" Elliot, who normally weighed over five hundred pounds, looked puzzled. Then he said sincerely, "Our son is educated, a cultured man. He knows a lot."
Wen Xingze: “…” Oh, compulsory education really wasn’t universal in StarCraft during Elliot’s time.
Elliot took off his protective helmet and played with his lighter.
Wen Xingze discovered that he had changed back into his mercenary attire at some point, a black vest and jacket, his long boots touching the ground, and he was biting a cigar in a ruffian-like manner but didn't light it - he didn't smoke in front of children, he was just satisfying his craving.
In front of the strong and agile orcs, Wen Xingze looked like a little kid. Their strange combination was a bit like "Léon: The Professional", which attracted people's attention from another angle.
"What are you looking at?! No taking pictures!" Elliot yelled at the nosy passerby holding his phone, then turned around and rubbed Wen Xingze's head with his big hand. "Unhappy?"
Wen Xingze was indeed... a little unhappy.
"I understand. Wait a minute, let's go kill someone." Elliot looked at Wen Xingze's eyes and snapped his fingers without hesitation. The sports car and private plane behind him also turned the corner.
They regretted making Zaizai so unhappy, and decided not to leave Xu William and his son to other parents and Chi Yan.
Wen Xingze: "Elliot, wait! It has nothing to do with them."
Of course, I was very happy to see my orc parents whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
And you can also take a ride in this dream car of men all over the world.
But... throughout the whole night, the shadows of the white cats Ji Mi Tuan and Ji Meng would appear in front of Wen Xingze's eyes from time to time, making Wen Xingze feel sad every time.
Jimituan said that it only has about three or four days left.
It was too early for Wen Xingze to think about matters of life and death, but he always couldn't help thinking about it... At this time, someone handed him a water bag, and Wen Xingze took it and drank a big sip without thinking.
It's wine.
The wine is sweet and mellow, and does not irritate the throat, but Wen Xingze keenly discovered that its alcohol content is not low.
Most importantly, it tastes great!
Wen Xingze: “?”
Wen Xingze: "Ton ton ton——"
"Shh," Elliot said mysteriously, "Don't tell anyone else. Children can't drink alcohol. They'll tear me apart later... There's no more left. I can only drink one bag."
Wen Xingze let out an "Ah" and said in confusion, "But it says 'Another bottle' on the lid."
"Another bottle? Winning?" Elliot scratched his head. His prototype was the Newfoundland White Wolf. Even the Orcs' big dog Gou was too easy to fool. He even forgot that this water bag had no lid. "Well, I'll just have to drink one more bag..."
He thought about it and couldn't help but open another bag: "Just take a small sip."
Wen Xingze and Elliot: "Ton ton ton——"
There's a reason why the orcs are so fond of drinking.
After two bags, Wen Xingze suddenly felt light-headed, as if he was walking on clouds, his eyes sparkling: "Shall we go for a ride?"
Orc parent: "...Let's go!"
Just go.
The Orcs' execution was unmatched in the entire galaxy, and they had always intended to do just that. So, for the next three hours until the end of the day, Wen Xingze experienced something truly miraculous, something he had never experienced before.
Elliot laughed and asked Wen Xingze to try riding a heavy motorcycle. Wen Xingze had already had this intention. He put on his goggles, bit a lollipop, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom!
“Buzz——!!!”
The heavy motorcycle made a high-decibel roar and rushed straight forward. The wind that quickly passed by his ears blew Wen Xingze's hair back, revealing his beautiful forehead and eyebrows.
The entire orc tribe whistled and cheered meaninglessly.
Wen Xingze had just moved forward when he realized something was wrong: there was no road ahead! Just then, he attempted a drift stop, and Elliot, who weighed over 500 pounds in the back seat, was immediately thrown out.
Wen Xingze laughed: "Elliot, you are too light! You should eat more so that you won't fly out!"
Elliot: “…”
Elliot: "By the law of momentum or something... Shit, I forgot!"
The mercenary leader in the air roared and turned into a huge Newfoundland white wolf. The white wolf bit something like a grenade and pulled open the pull ring. Suddenly, a white light flashed in the air, and then a door opened out of thin air like a mustard seed space.
Including Wen Xingze, all the orcs couldn't stop the car and fell in.
Wen Xingze only felt a familiar feeling of weightlessness, and then fell - his vision gradually turned dark as he fell, and then brightened again.
Utopian Empire, affiliated Tam planet, Forbidden Forest.
Surrounded by thousands-year-old sacred trees, the moonlit night was silent, lit only by the faint lights of the wooden houses on the shore. Wen Xingze and Elliot soaked in the lake, not daring to move, and after a while, they blew out a stream of bubbles.
"Welcome to the Forbidden Forest of Utopia, cub," Elliot said. "Here are the most ferocious animals in Utopia, the antlerless deer that can fight a black dragon alone, and they hate intruders the most..."
Wen Xingze: "Are they the ones watching us covetously by the lake?"
Elliot: “Yes.”
The antlerless deer began to sharpen its claws and breathe out.
Under this threat, the beastmen transformed back into their original forms. Elliot, who had transformed back into wolf form, grabbed Wen Xingze's collar and immediately opened the space again: "Run!!!"
They were being chased by the antlerless deer, running around in panic, and hastily rolled into the space jump device, and arrived at the famous Snow Night Market on Wulun Star. Four or five orcs were huddled under a cloak. Wen Xingze used the money he earned from betting with people on the street to buy a few pots of strong liquor for the parents at the market.
Then, on a remote and desolate planet, they painted totems on their faces and performed strange sacrificial dances with the locals around a campfire in the desert.
Sometimes they would pick up tattered motorcycles or tricycles, sometimes not. Sometimes they would tiptoe around, not wanting to disturb the sleeping beasts, and sometimes they would burst into laughter, recklessly racing and setting off fireworks like madmen in the pouring rain...
Like a group of desperadoes.
This is the way of life for the orcs. They can be as arrogant as they want and live freely. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine where the adventurous part of Wen Xingze's character that loves to challenge the unknown comes from.
Wen Xingze was so exhausted that he fell asleep with the barbecue in his hands, and the orc parents immediately quieted down. Then the white wolf quietly carried their human cub in its mouth. The furry creatures found a warm sheltered spot in the desert, lit a fire, and rested.
"I love you guys so much." Wen Xingze muttered in his sleep, "Awooo."
The big guys were so happy that they just wanted to turn over their bellies.
"...Tomorrow, tomorrow is Teacher Chi's birthday. How should I give him a gift?" This was another dream talk.
The big guys turned their bellies over again and groaned in dissatisfaction.
There are less than thirty minutes left until the end of the day. This is the only time they have left. After this day, they don’t know how long it will take before they can see their baby again.
"Ouch."
The big furry creatures were rarely a little depressed, and they came up one by one and licked the palms of the human cubs.
Come to think of it, it’s true… many years have passed.
Over thirty years ago, the Orcs were the most powerful mercenaries in the universe. Even before the establishment of the Muse Empire, the Orcs had already gained fame throughout the universe.
They are strong, agile, and possess unique animal instincts, which allow them to survive time and again, even after risking their lives against death. The most famous among them is, of course, the mercenary leader Elliot.
It was precisely because of the bounty of mercenaries, and the lucrative bounties, that the Orcs, once plagued by poverty and disease, were able to gradually climb out of the mire, albeit clinging to blood-stained threads. On each mercenary's shoulders rested the fate of the entire ancient tribe, a legacy of deep-seated illnesses piling up one upon another.
They can die, but they cannot lose.
And it was in the 417th year of the Cosmic Era, on an ordinary winter day, that they received a mission.
From an 'employer' who is so young, one could even call him a cub.
"Go to the auction house to save those mermaids?" Elliot sneered at the time, "No."
The fate of the mermaids was miserable, but they were mercenaries, not kindhearted philanthropists. The life of the orcs was not much better, and no one seemed to save them from their misery.
Mermaids were the most valuable commodity at the underground auction house. Saving the mermaids meant going against all the powerful people in the universe at the time. As mercenaries, the Orcs absolutely could not afford to offend these people.
I didn't expect that there would be someone who wanted to save all the mermaids by himself. It's ridiculous.
They flatly rejected the employment mission, but the employer did not leave, but stubbornly stayed on the main planet of the Orcs.
"It's okay if you don't accept," the cub said seriously, his eyes were beautiful and light-colored. "Please accept the commission for this mission. Please teach me how to become a mercenary."
Only mercenaries, only mercenaries who lurk in the dark and walk freely on every steel wire, can rescue every mermaid unscathed.
This is a truth known to everyone in the universe, and it is also the reason why the mermaid merchants are so fearless: they know that the mercenary orcs will never dare to go against them, unless the orcs also want to become another hot commodity at the auction.
If no mercenary is willing to take on his mission, he will become a mercenary himself.
Elliot uttered a curious "ouch."
The entire Orc Prime planet was in an uproar. Some people squeezed by the windows with cigarettes in their mouths, while others hung upside down from the rooftops to watch the excitement. They whistled at the cub and happily commented on him, "Little lunatic."
How long will it take for the kid to give up?
One day? Three days? A week?
Underground casinos are even opening up, with the longest and highest payout period being one month.
Although the kid's reason was unheard of, there were other tribes who envied the high income of mercenaries and wanted to learn from them. The orcs always accepted everyone, but the longest apprentice could only last a week before running away.
It is no exaggeration to say that hardship and fatigue are secondary, as mercenaries are risking their lives.
So there was an extra cub in the mercenary team going on the mission.
...And it turned out that the little lunatics and the big lunatics got along best. They started out by swearing and complaining about the hassle, but later on, they felt uncomfortable going out without the little lunatics. Whenever they had some free time, they worried about whether they were warmly dressed and well fed. They even personally trained the little lunatics, who couldn't even hold a gun, to become the best mercenaries.
He does have talent.
What the crazy people are unwilling to admit is that on those rainy nights, they can light a fire in the nest, and there can be a little life that sleeps quietly, breathes steadily, and combs their fur and touches their heads when they wake up... This feeling is really good.
Addictive.
You may even start to feel reluctant to let go.
But the day of separation soon arrived, and the little boy had to go to save the mermaids. This matter could not be delayed any longer because the mermaids were living in agony every second.
The boy got up very early that day and quietly packed his bag at around five in the morning. He didn't bring many things with him, only the gun that Elliot had customized for him.
The orcs all claimed that they hated saying goodbye, so the little guy didn't say goodbye to them in person, but just left a letter.
...He thought he hadn't disturbed any sleeping orcs, but little did he know that almost all the orcs on the entire planet hadn't slept a wink. Their ears pricked up, their tails twitched anxiously, and every noise the cub made as he packed his bag annoyed them so much that they wanted to bite him.
The other side.
The kid packed all his luggage, and before getting on the hovercraft, he turned around one last time and looked at the endless desert, this unforgettable planet.
And it was at this moment that he saw some moving black spots at the end of the desert.
The black spot gradually grew larger and turned into many people.
This group of mercenaries, fighting on the brink of death, are fully armed. Some are cleaning their guns, while others are lazily drinking with one hand in their pockets, with the desert and the strong wind behind them. It's so cool.
Elliot, wearing goggles and with his shoulder-mounted particle cannon assembled, held the kid's collar while smoking a cigar. "Lead the way."
The cub's eyes were confused.
"Tsk," the mercenary leader ruffled his hair impatiently and threw away his cigar. "We'll take your mission, okay? Lead the way!"
Cub: “…”
The cub felt his pocket and said, "But I have no money..."
The orcs: “…”
"Would you like to join my country?" the boy began to coax. "I'll protect you, pay you back, and even drink with you!"
After the orcs accept this mission, they will definitely be targeted by the powerful and will no longer be able to continue their livelihood as mercenaries.
Elliot looked at the other tribesmen.
The wind blew past them, the sky was high and the sand was flying.
The mercenaries laughed.
"Deal," they said. "...No drinking for minors!"
Earth, capital.
The clock quietly approaches twelve o'clock.
Elliot carried Wen Xingze back to his home in the capital. Sure enough, Chi Yan was already waiting there, dressed in his home clothes and preparing some soup.
He picked up the sleeping Wen Xingze and nodded to Elliot, but did not say thank you. This made Elliot very satisfied, because they were the parents of the cub. If Chi Yan thanked them, it would seem like he was not acknowledging their existence.
"We don't hate you," said the Newfoundland White Wolf. "Monarch of Utopia, take good care of your cubs. Happy birthday."
Unlike other parents in Muse, the orc parents are very open-minded, although they are still a little jealous.
The child is the child. He will have his own independent life, meet someone he likes, and have his own love. These are all natural things. Their parents only do their best to accompany the child when he needs them and help him through those slightly difficult times.
Moreover, Chi Yan really likes Wen Xingze, he knows it, and they all know it.
Chi Yan looked at Elliot and said, "I will, thank you."
At twelve o'clock, the white wolf disappeared outside the window. Wen Xingze was half asleep. He must have been drinking, as his breath smelled slightly sweet.
"We're home. We have a day off tomorrow and no filming," Chi Yan hugged him and leaned on the sofa, "Xiao Ze."
Wen Xingze: “Hmm.”
On Christmas Eve this year, snow fell in the capital, lights were shining brightly outside the windows, and the whole city was colorful and lively.
They didn't turn on the lights, but let the charming light mixed with the moonlight filter in through the floor-to-ceiling windows and spread on the ground like water.
After Wen Xingze answered that question, he slowly opened his eyes after a while.
"Elliot and the others have gone back?" After receiving a positive answer, Wen Xingze continued, "I encountered a lot of things tonight..."
He started with Ji Meng and the white cat, skipped over Xu William's story, and then talked about his outing with the orc parents.
In fact, Chi Yan didn't need to know the part about Xu William. He had met Xu William an hour ago to ensure that he would not appear in front of them again, and there was no need to specifically talk about what happened.
"Cats can only live for twenty years," Wen Xingze said, making a gesture of length. "Twenty years goes by very quickly."
Chi Yan hummed.
Wen Xingze smiled and said, "But I..."
He wanted to live longer, not because he was greedy.
But Wen Xingze shook his head and didn't say anything else. He suddenly didn't feel sad about this matter anymore. Wen Xingze thought, "The bridge will naturally be straight when it reaches the bow."
Chi Yan looked at him with his eyelids lowered, and his thumb stroked the corner of Wen Xingze's eye.
He would not let Wen Xingze leave him.
At this moment, Wen Xingze suddenly saw the clock on the wall, then looked at the date and immediately remembered: "Happy birthday, I prepared a gift for you... Can you call me by another name, Teacher Chi?"
Wen Xingze was of course drunk, and the two sentences had nothing to do with each other, but Chi Yan always cooperated with him.
Chi Yan's expression looked like he had encountered some century-old problem.
He stretched out his thin lips, but before he could say anything, his ears turned red.
Chi Yan: "Baby."
Wen Xingze expressed his relief at the old antique's level of love talk, and then said confidently: "I'm different, I can do everything, baby, dear, A Yan, old -"
Wen Xingze burped with a hint of alcohol in his voice and couldn't continue.
Chi Yan: "Continue."
Chi Yan rubbed his earlobe: "You know everything?"
Wen Xingze: “…”
Chi Yan finally had some mercy and decided not to embarrass him anymore.
Two people kissed in the sound of the winter night wind.
Until the wind stops.
"Happy birthday." Wen Xingze said.
Inside the gift box, on the velvet surface, lay a ring quietly.
——The little king’s blind officer is one year older.
