"Did you rescue His Highness Long Man?"
"Yes." You Ai responded. Although it was not her who saved him, it was still her who saved him after rounding it off.
"Then you must be very powerful. Hartman is already a level seven esper. It's a pity that he was injured."
"Hartman is injured?" Perhaps it was Yu Ai's voice that suddenly rose, and the children all stared at her, even McPhee was looking at her.
"Ahem!" She cleared her throat strategically. "I mean, uh! What I mean is, Hartman looks already very powerful, and he's actually injured. If he hadn't been injured, he would definitely be even more powerful."
Considering everyone's attitude towards Hartman when he first arrived and the admiring expressions on the children's faces when they talked about him, Youai chose the most conservative statement.
Seeing the children nodding one after another, she knew she had found the right approach.
"Hartman is the best warrior!"
"Hartman is the strongest guard!"
"Hartmann is the best knight!"
Seeing the children's admiration and praise for Hartmann, Yu Ai should have also expressed approval of him, but she couldn't do it whenever she thought of that dream.
The Hartman described by the children and the Hartman she saw were completely different from the Hartman in her dreams.
In her dream, he was as sinister as a ghost and as scary as a devil. She couldn't convince herself to forget the image.
Shaking her head to get rid of the inappropriate thoughts, she said, "Don't you live with your parents?"
"Of course not." Although Zhaxi is not the oldest, he is the leader of this group of children. Maybe he has some outstanding qualities.
Yuai said, "But in our race, parents live with their children."
"That's because you don't have Hartman." Zhaxi's expression was full of pride and pride.
Hearing this, You Ai smiled and asked, "Was it Hartman who suggested that you and your parents live separately?"
“That’s right!”
You Ai and Mai Fei looked at each other, each seeing confusion in the other's eyes. She then asked, "Do your parents agree? Does the Queen also agree to do this?"
"Of course, Hartmann is a hero, and everything he says is right!"
Such blind trust, what did this Hartman do to make the entire race surrender to it? After sending the other children away, You Ai asked Zhaxi.
"Well, I suppose you know a lot about Hartmann's heroic deeds."
"Do you want to know?" Zhaxi raised his proud head.
"Yes, we want to listen to it too." Although he said that, You Ai had already seen the eagerness in Zhaxi's eyes.
The three of them sat under a tree and listened to Tashi's story.
His eyes were full of light as he said, "Hartman has been very smart since he was young, and his spiritual power is very strong. I heard that he was a level 2 esper when he was born, which scared his father."
"But his father thought Hartman was an ominous sign because there had never been a precedent in the clan where a newborn baby was a person with special abilities, so he wanted to kill Hartman."
You Ai was a little stunned, "Killed your own child?"
"That's right," Tashi continued. "When Hartman was seven years old, his father tried to strangle him while his mother was out. But Hartman was too clever. He had hidden a seahorse jellyfish on his body. When his father tried to strangle him, the jellyfish stung him, and his father was poisoned to death."
Yu Ai frowned and asked, "His father is dead? Who found out?"
"Hartmann's mother."
"Isn't his mother out?"
"He's back, but his mother couldn't accept that her partner wanted to kill her child. She went crazy."
"Crazy?"
"That's right, she's crazy. She grabs everyone she sees and shouts 'No, no, no, no'. Hartman had no choice but to lock her up for fear that she would hurt others."
You Ai asked, "Then why should children be separated from their parents?"
Zhaxi looked at her with an expression that said, "You don't understand yet." Yu Ai said that she really didn't understand.
Zhaxi said: "Not every child is as capable and intelligent as Hartman. If he hadn't been discovered and taken precautionary measures, he would have died. After that, everyone began to wonder whether those children who died had problems and couldn't survive, or whether they were deliberately killed by their parents."
"Not every parent is cruel." You Ai unconsciously put her hand on her belly. If she had her own child, she would never bear to hurt him.
Mai Fei, who had been silent, saw her action, took her hand and held it, and You Ai smiled at him.
Zhaxi saw this and felt a little envious. He hadn't seen his father and mother for a long time.
He continued, "But every child is innocent. During that time, everyone was in a state of panic. Not only the children, but even the parents were suspicious of each other. Life was becoming unbearable, and arguments gradually increased."
"So," Youai speculated, "Hartman stepped forward and suggested that parents and children live separately so that everyone can live a good life."
"That's right. Hartmann was only seven years old at the time. He was able to come up with a solution to a problem that even Her Majesty the Queen couldn't solve. It's truly remarkable."
"Her Majesty the Queen adopted him as a reward and promised to let him and His Royal Highness Long Man become partners in the future."
"Does His Highness Long Man live here too?" She remembered that the scales on Long Man's face were still there, so he should not be an adult yet.
Tashi nodded and pointed to the big tree closest to the palace and said, "Your Highness lives in that tree. The one next to it is Hartman's."
He poked his head out to take a look and added, "They shouldn't be here right now. They might still be in the palace at this hour. Hartmann is very capable. Her Majesty the Queen has entrusted him with many political affairs."
You Ai said, "So Hartman always leads the social team when they go out?"
"That's not the case," Zhaxi said, "Dennis has always been the leader of the team. Dennis is also a very powerful warrior. He is a level six ability user, but he is missing."
You Ai said, "Missing?"
Zhaxi nodded. "Yes, after his coming-of-age ceremony, he was found to have excellent fertility."
After thinking for a moment, You Ai asked, "Didn't you go look for him? Isn't Hartman very powerful? And there are no clues?"
Zhaxi sighed and said, "Hartman was injured by Dennis. His wounds showed signs of sixth-level spiritual power. Dennis disappeared after injuring him."
"Dennis was able to hurt Hartman? Isn't he a level seven ability user?" Although You Ai was only level three, she knew that there was no suspense at all when level six faced level seven.
"They are very good friends. Hartman will not hurt Dennis." Zhaxi said with certainty.
"But Dennis used his spiritual power to hit him, how could he resist fighting back? And if they were good friends, why did Dennis hit him?"
Faced with Youai's question, Zhaxi didn't know how to answer. It was obvious that this was beyond his knowledge.
