Chapter 24
Then Gae picked up the food that was placed on the silver panel, which didn't look like food.
He studied it for a while, then successfully opened it and ate what was inside. He thought he would have to finish all of those small pieces to relieve his hunger, but to his surprise, he felt full after eating just one piece. And unexpectedly, the pale yellow paste tasted pretty good, very sweet.
He couldn't help but take a closer look at these exquisitely shaped, finger-thick, and very portable tube-shaped foods, and finally carefully put them into his clothes.
Not knowing how long he would have to stay here, he decided to eat sparingly.
However, it must be said that after the arrival of those intelligent beings, Gae's tense and desperate spirit relaxed a lot, because he realized that those intelligent beings might not want to kill him so quickly.
After all, they were giving him food and teaching him how to use the things here, so it didn't seem like they wanted to kill him right away.
Moreover, to be honest, he still doesn't understand why the Grimaldi captured him and put him on the starship. He has never offended the Grimaldi. Although he could be said to have done something rebellious within his own Canaanite tribe, trying to seize the throne and almost succeeding, what does this have to do with the Grimaldi?
Unable to figure it out, Gae eventually gave up trying to think about the problem and stayed in the room for a long time.
He didn't have a timekeeping device and didn't know how much time had passed, but he had been hungry many times, so it must have been a few days.
Over the past few days, he discovered that he didn't need to be stingy with the pale yellow tube-shaped food, because every now and then, the intelligent beings would come in and put some on him. Also, no one had bothered him in the room these days, except that the intelligent beings would come in every now and then to put food on him and press a small box on his arm.
The feeling was very strange. He could feel a slight itch and sting, but it quickly dissipated, making him feel like it was his imagination. After the Zhizu left, he carefully examined the skin that had been pressed by the small box. After looking at it for a long time, he finally found a red dot smaller than a pinhole. He checked it repeatedly before he was sure that it was a broken skin, a hole smaller than a pinhole. If he had found it any later, it would have healed on its own.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought again. So what harm could such a small wound possibly cause him? Surely the Aztecs couldn't have poisoned the thing that had just pierced their skin.
However, no matter how many guesses he had, the situation was beyond his control. He was in an AI-controlled starship surrounded by countless AIs, and there was no way he could escape. No matter what the AIs did to him, as long as they didn't directly attack him with knives, he would just observe silently and not resist.
Gae stayed in this room for a long time afterward, so long that he almost got used to this kind of life. He even figured out how to retract and lower the silver table that extended from the wall. He also figured out many of the hidden mechanisms in the room and realized that the room didn't actually have to be so empty.
The only side effect is that every time he discovers a new hidden mechanism, he falls into a new round of contemplation about life.
He also had to admit that the ancestors' name for the intelligent race was indeed correct; they truly deserved it.
Just when Gae thought he would stay in the room forever, without warning, another member of the Intelligence Clan walked in, and then he was taken out.
The peaceful days had allowed Gae to relax, but he didn't expect it to end so soon.
Surrounded by a group of intelligent beings, he walked forward with his head down, his heart heavier than ever before. The dazzling silver ground seemed like a sharp butcher's knife held to his neck, and he was a prisoner about to be executed.
Filled with despair and believing he was doomed to die, Gae failed to realize that the distance he had traveled was far greater than the size of a starship.
In fact, two starship fleets have now joined forces in space, and his starship has already established a passage to the other starship. The intelligent beings are taking him to the other starship.
The Societies led him on and on until they reached a silver wall. The silver wall opened, and the Societies behind him coldly said, "Go in."
Without thinking much, Gae walked in instinctively. Only when he felt many gazes on him did he raise his head and look at the large space, especially the people scattered within it, and couldn't help but show astonishment.
Gae looked at those people in surprise, and those people were also sizing up Gae, the newcomer. Most of them looked at Gae with unfamiliarity and inquiry, but there were also a few who looked at Gae with shock.
Those people who looked at Gae with shock on their faces seemed very familiar to him. After a moment's recognition, he was even more horrified. The eldest son of the Beast Clan, the crown prince of the Mine Clan, and the eldest prince of the Flame Clan—they've all gone mad! How could they be here?!
At that moment, Gae suddenly realized that things might be getting a little serious!
He originally thought that he was being demanded by the Zhi Clan simply because he was unlucky, and that his older brother was just lucky, sitting still while his enemies would disappear by some inexplicable disaster, as if that position was destined for him. But now, he realized that things didn't seem to be like that.
Because the people he recognized were all royal heirs from the races closest to their Canaanite tribe. Each of them was a figure capable of instigating a war between the two races. How could they be here? This is a starship of the Intelligence Clan!
Suddenly, Gae couldn't help but look at the other people in this space. He didn't recognize any of them, and some of them even looked very strange. He couldn't even tell their race. Some of them had the characteristics of certain legendary races, but without exception, none of them were from the Zhi race!
A crazy, terrifying, and chilling thought couldn't help but surface in Ga'ai's mind. Combining the identities of the people he recognized, could it be that all the dozen or so different races in this space were heirs to their respective royal families?!
This conjecture is incredibly audacious, yet it is also logically sound. After all, even he himself, though not the rightful heir to the royal family, was certain that without the unexpected arrival of the Zhi Clan, he would have been the one to ascend the Canaanite throne.
Therefore, this place is filled with the true heirs to the thrones of various races! What exactly do the Grimaldians want?!
Ga'e was shocked by his own guess, but he didn't know that the royal heirs he recognized were even more shocked to see him there and recognize his Canaanite features.
The group stared at him in disbelief, even glancing at the closed silver wall behind him to make sure no one else was coming. They remained confused, and the eldest prince of the Yan clan couldn't help but ask, "How is it you? Where is Jia Ye?"
Jia Ye is the name of the eldest prince of the Canaanite tribe.
Awakened by the eldest prince of the Yan tribe, Ga'e was still somewhat absent-minded and not in the mood to speak.
Before the Flame Clan's eldest prince could ask further, the Beast Clan's eldest son, who had a rugged appearance but was actually more cunning than anyone else, burst into laughter. He took a few steps forward, patted Ga'e's shoulder affectionately, and then put his arm around him, looking very friendly. "Brother Ga'e, you've kept this from me for so long. If it weren't for today, I probably wouldn't have known the truth until the day I congratulated you on ascending the throne."
Ga'ai glanced at the enthusiastic appearance of the eldest prince of the Beast Clan, then smiled. This eldest prince of the Beast Clan used to be extremely arrogant. Although he had met him twice, he had never given him a second glance. He only showed this attitude towards his elder brother.
Seeing the behavior of the eldest prince of the Beast Clan, the eldest prince of the Flame Clan remained silent. After all, they had arrived earlier and could exchange information, so they had already guessed a lot of things. So, the fact that it was the third prince of the Canaan Clan, Jia'e, who was brought over by the Wisdom Clan, instead of the eldest prince Jia'e, was self-evident.
Unbeknownst to him, the eldest prince of the Yan tribe had begun to treat Ga'e with the same courtesy that was reserved for the rightful heir of the Canaanite tribe.
