Chapter 2149 Those Roses

The strong wind was stunned, the rain was stunned, the thunder was stunned, the queen was stunned, and Li Jialing was also stunned.

"The Star Sea Republic?"

The queen frowned and muttered to herself.

"Firefly?"

Li Jialing blinked quickly, in disbelief.

"yes!"

Li Yao nodded his head as a matter of course, blinked his clear eyes, then turned to ask the boy, "Have you heard of the Star Sea Republic and the Firefly?"

"I heard."

The young man thought for a while and said seriously, "I heard that they are a bunch of cowardly, despicable and shameless rubbish cultivators who are worse than cockroaches and mice. Xinghai is hiding in Tibet in the Middle East, constantly degrading, and now he is either becoming a complete star thief, or completely extinct, right?"

Li Yao: "...Uh, although I don't like your wording very much, but that's right, you brother Yao is from that Star Sea Republic, Firefly!

"How about it, Your Royal Highness, no matter how poor our Firefly is, it is still the 'last land of the Star Sea Republic'. When we fled the empire, we took away so many bottles and cans of belongings. Secrets, such as the coordinates of countless relics and secret treasures of the Star Sea Empire era! The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, the rotten ship still has a three-pound nail, the Star Sea Republic can cultivate a strong man who turns into a god, and the Firefly has the ability to repair and maintain giant soldiers. Is there a flaw in your ability? Just think about it, if you come up with a flaw, please behead me!"

Li Yao was straightforward, every word carried bones.

My heart is still a little empty.

The existence of the Firefly should be a big secret that only he knows. According to the logbook of the Firefly, after three to five hundred years, they were discovered again by the Black Wind Fleet of the Imperial Expeditionary Force more than ten years ago. Hei Yeming, the commander of the Wind Fleet, did not report the matter to the mainland of the empire in order to monopolize this piece of fat. Otherwise, wouldn't such a great contribution be taken away by the mainland sending new reinforcements?

Later, when the Black Wind Fleet was hit hard and almost completely annihilated, the commander Hei Yeming was no longer there, and the deputy commander Di Feiwen wanted to make peace with the Federation and use the power of the Federation to fight back to the Empire. Such crucial information was sent back to the mainland of the empire.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, most of the empire now vaguely knows that the Black Wind Fleet has sailed to the era of the Star Sea Empire, on the edge of the human border, and encountered some barren worlds with little development value, and rebellious barbarians lived on them. The Heifeng man was grimacing at this hard bone with no oil or water.

But they should not know how powerful the Federation is, how many secret treasures are hidden in the Ancient Sacred Realm and the Kunlun Secret Realm, let alone the existence of the Star Sea Republic and the Firefly!

However, this is always "in theory". Who knows if the Queen has any other sources of information?

If it explodes, with her violent temper, it's useless to hug her thigh and call grandma!

Li Yao condensed the life-long skills of hundreds of years of painstaking practice into his face and eyes. His heart was extremely nervous, but his expression and eyes were extremely open-minded. Every gully on his face criss-crossed and criss-crossed, which could almost form the word "sincerity"!

The queen frowned, and looked at him silently for a long time, her eyes were like two poisonous snakes, trying to drill into his brain along his eyeballs, devouring all his memories, and after looking at each other for half a minute, she said: " Go ahead and tell us about your birth and development aboard the Firefly."

Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had broken through the second hurdle again.

"I was born in the lowest cabin of the most dilapidated and lowest-level starship junk ship among the hundreds of starships that make up the Firefly."

Li Yao's eyes were flooded with memories, and his voice was low and melancholy, "It was a dark world with harsh environment, smoky atmosphere, difficult survival, and the law of the jungle.

"Because the Firefly is a wanderer of the star sea, in the most difficult time, we could not find the ruins of the abandoned world and the star sea battlefield for decades, and we could not get effective supplies, so we must not waste any fragments of magic weapons, even if they seem to be Useless, fragmented garbage will be piled up on garbage boats and condensed into mountains of garbage, which is my home.”

Hearing this, Li Jialing couldn't help asking: "The smoky atmosphere, the jungle preys on the strong? Don't you call yourself cultivators?"

Li Yao's lips moved, as if he blushed, unable to answer this question, but turned his erratic eyes to Li Linghai.

The queen snorted coldly and said: "Cultivators, cultivators, how can there be any clear boundaries? When resources are abundant, everyone is a dignified and upright cultivator. When resources are insufficient, more than half of the people will starve to death, hehe, The old gentleman and chivalrous men in the past would inevitably take the saying "the strong prey on the weak, and the winner is king"!

"The Firefly has been drifting in the sea of ​​stars for nearly a thousand years. Although it escaped the pursuit of the empire, it inevitably fled to the star field on the edge of human civilization, which is becoming more and more barren and barren. There is no supply, no communication, small space, and lack of resources. What kind of cultivators will be left, I am afraid that the survivors of the Xinghai Republic will be worse than the fake cultivators of the Empire today!"

Li Yao coughed in embarrassment, and said, "Your Highness may have a point. In short, my childhood was spent in the dangerous environment of the tomb of the magic weapon and life-and-death fights. That dark experience may be related to Li Jialing. The growth process of the younger brother is also somewhat similar, which is also the reason why I have a good impression of this younger brother when I saw him."

"Brother Yao..."

Although Li Jialing still doesn't quite understand the true meaning of "Magic Treasure Tomb", he still has some understanding of "Xinghai Republic, Firefly" from history books and various reading materials.

Many experts in the empire have speculated on the ending of the Firefly, and their speculation is the same as what Li Linghai said. They believed that under the extreme lack of resources and the despair of finding a way out, the Firefly would definitely collapse. The scene of doomsday must be a hundred times more terrifying than the harshest slave mine in the empire.

When Li Jialing thought that Li Yao was born in such a place, he had a subtle feeling for him.

Li Yao sighed, and continued: "In short, I, who had no father, no mother, and no one to rely on, should have died in the dark and cruel tomb of the magic weapon when I was young, but one day, I accidentally found in the tomb of the magic weapon. I killed an uncle who was full of scars, and changed me, maybe him, and your destiny!"

Li Jialing held his breath and said in a trembling voice, "That's right, that's my biological father?"

"That's right."

Li Yao nodded, falling into the memory of a long time ago, but this paragraph is really true, "No one knows where this uncle came from, what happened to him, anyway, when I found him, he was already seriously injured, even his internal organs were all damaged. naked..."

Li Yao noticed that Li Linghai's eyes visibly trembled.

Even the steady breathing has been disturbed for 0.01 seconds.

For a peerless powerhouse at the peak of transformation into a god or even higher, this is absolutely impossible to lose control.

Before the boy exclaimed again, Li Yao continued: "At that time, I thought that this uncle had committed something on another starship, or provoked someone, so he sneaked onto our garbage ship. This is a common occurrence among the hundreds of starships that make up the Firefly.

"I don't know what to think, but I have a slight affection for the uncle by accident, maybe I have never had a father, and he looks very reliable, right?

"Anyway, to put it briefly, I saved Uncle, and after he recovered from his injuries, he came back to save me several times. He also adopted me as his adopted son, taught me his art of refining weapons, and gave me back I had a strange rusty flying sword, and then the flying sword burst, and inside was this slimy, squishy, ​​extremely elastic black sphere, which I called 'Little Black'."

"You, you..."

The queen couldn't help pacing back and forth, maybe even she didn't know what she wanted to ask, she was stunned for a long time and said, "Just the two of you, living together?"

"Just the two of us, my adoptive father is not a person who is good at words. He usually repairs the magic weapon in taciturn way, in exchange for food to feed us and wine. The only hobby is to polish the pieces of the magic weapon until they are as thin as cicada wings. , crystal clear, and then carved into beautiful, crystal-like roses."

Li Yao smiled and said, "Most of the time, in our small shack, there were piles of metal roses full of pits and valleys, and I couldn't sleep well. I once asked him why he made so many useless things. I can't get much money out of it, so I might as well put together some magic weapons, but he still didn't answer me.

"Now that I think about it, I understand. Perhaps, he spent his entire life carving out ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine metal roses, and carefully engraved various runes on them, making them more beautiful than real roses." Lun Meihuan is just to give to...a woman on the other side of the Xinghai, right?"

This matter is true.

Of course, the number of metal roses may not be ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, but there must be many, many.

Because after his father passed away, Li Yao used these metal roses to submerge his ashes, piled them up into a small mountain bag, and buried them in the deepest part of the magic weapon's tomb, and then they were completely buried by endless mountains of garbage.

In the vicissitudes of life, when Li Yao spent a hundred years of hibernation and returned to the Federation, the tomb of the magic weapon in Fuge City was completely changed.

But to this day, maybe the ashes of the old man are still buried deep in the ground of Tianyuan Star together with these beautiful and shining metallic roses?

Li Linghai's expression was in a trance, but the invisible mask and armor of indifference around him could no longer be condensed.

Her fingertips, arms, and shoulders were all trembling slightly, as if she was tightly suppressing the thorns that came out from the depths of her heart and wrapped around her body in an instant!
