Chapter 57: descendants of god
Ermi's eyes were told by her mother to Huo Xingchao.
It was the first time that the little girl rolled on the ground because of the pain in her eyes, and Huo Xingchao was puzzled.
Because half of the body's keen perception comes from beasts, he can faintly feel that these eyes are not exactly the same as Ermi's physical attributes.
Thinking again that she couldn't see color when she was born, Huo Xingchao directly asked her stepmother what was going on.
The stepmother did not hide.
Maybe Huo Xingchao's father told her something, or maybe she realized that even if she concealed it, she couldn't keep it for too long.
In short, that day, she chose to make it clear.
The red leaves are the symbol of the gods of Tia.
Isa's grandfather, the leader of the Hongye family, is the actual controller of the Temple of Tia Kingdom.
Isa's father was not his favorite son, but Isa was the granddaughter he valued most in his grandchildren's life.
At that time, because of the war, Isa injured her eyes. Her grandfather personally selected Ermi, the ninth-level doctor who was also assigned by her grandfather.
An earl's mistress might not know these things very well, but after Huo Xingchao knew the truth, he could guess the truth with a single guess.
The Earl of Hongye is just a noble in the aristocratic district, with no strength or power, but the eldest lady of the Earl's House is one of the alternate heirs of the temple who can freely enter and leave the temple.
When Huo Xingchao asked about her eyes just now, her eyes flashed with pure doubt and the fear that he had frightened.
No fear, no guilt, and no temptation.
Even after Huo Xingchao withdrew her hand, her focus was not on her own eyes.
"Do you have a grudge against our Red Leaf Earl's Mansion?"
The girl frowned, holding the whip tightly in her left hand, her voice condensed, "Why are you reacting like this?"
......
- She didn't know about that.
The young man leaned back, leaned against the tree trunk, and said lightly, "Yes."
He lowered his eyes, with a bit of irony in his expression, "Hey, are your eyes okay?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you feel your eyes hurt especially when the weather is dry?"
"Sometimes, when you close your eyes and don't do anything, do you also feel that your eyes have been gouged out by life, and it's unbearable?"
"Sometimes all of a sudden, do you see nothing at all, like a blind man?"
The boy's voice was very light, very light, as if the distant wind on the branches and leaves slowly fell beside his ears.
Then it turned into a thousand thunders, which were suddenly pressed down, and people were stunned all of a sudden.
Isa frowned, with a bit of dignified vigilance in her tone, "Why do you know this, who are you?"
Of course he knew.
Because in this world, there is another person who is suffering thousands of times your pain.
Huo Xingchao twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, turned around and left without saying anything.
For a moment just now, he really wanted to goug out those eyes directly.
But first of all, even if he dug it down, he didn't know how to exchange it for Ermi.
The second is that even if he can dig out these eyes, he can't kill everyone here now and then go back safe and sound. No personal evidence is left.
So he didn't say anything, just turned around and left.
......
After Huo Xingchao left, the friends behind him all gathered around, and you asked me with concern,
"Isa, are you alright?"
"Isa, he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"This guy just doesn't know what to do. When I return to the city, I must pay him back the sword!"
......
Amid these accusations and anger, there is one voice that stands out.
"That, Isa, Senior Huo, what did he tell you?"
When Isa raised her head, she saw Zhi Ya's timid expression and curious and uneasy eyes.
She paused and didn't bring up the topic again. Instead, she turned her head and faced Rael, who had already taken the antidote, with a cold tone.
"You are not qualified to take revenge on others."
Rael stared at her in disbelief, "Isa, what did you say, you didn't see his sword just now..."
"I saw it."
Isa frowned, "But it's you who made the provocative words first. If it wasn't for your own plan to disrupt others' plans, they would have taken that alien beast long ago, and you wouldn't have to suffer that much injury for nothing."
"Isa, stop joking, that's a golden-rank alien beast, he is a hairy boy, can he deal with a golden-rank alien beast by himself? If I hadn't attacked for him to delay time, how could he have hit him with one move? That big lizard's life gate! This is what he wants to rob me of the spoils!"
The girl's voice is calm,
"As you said, he was hit by one move. It means that people must have observed this alien beast for a long time before they know that its life gate is in the eyes, and you didn't see the sloughed skin just now, the alien beast should be During the molting period, he was waiting for this moment to do it."
"To be honest, we are robbing him of his spoils."
Rael opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
"Okay. There's still half a day left. We have to hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to complete the task assigned by the tutor at all."
Isa clenched her whip and walked southeast.
That was the place they had looked for before. If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of a golden-order alien beast, they would have already met their opponent.
As for the boy just now...
The girl pursed her lips. The mind couldn't be quiet for a while, and it was full of the eyes of a young man like a cold pool.
Why did he know so clearly about the symptoms of his eyes?
What kind of hatred did he have with her father, and why did he become extremely violent the moment he heard his name?
And its own eyes.
Why are your eyes like this?
Since the injury that year, it has become very strange.
Pain, blindness, all of which she can accept. But sometimes, I can't control myself at all, that kind of weird feeling, it's like... as if it's not my own eyes at all...
Isa was taken aback by the thought in her head. He quickly covered his chest to calm himself down.
No matter why it became like this, no matter what kind of grievances the boy had with their family, what happened to his eyes.
Now that she has found a breakthrough, one day, she will figure it out.
Grandpa said that their Hongye family is a true human being, and as a Protoss, they must have the pride and virtue of Protoss.
But her father has always been absurd. If she really did something bad and her father's debts were repaid, she, as the heir of the Red Leaf Protoss, would definitely safeguard her family's reputation.
Thinking of this, Isa took a deep breath and walked to Zhi Ya's side,
"Zhi Ya, can you tell me about that person just now?"
Zhi Ya was a little surprised and hesitated, "what's the matter?"
"No, I just think something is wrong with him. I'm afraid he will be detrimental to us, so I want to investigate beforehand."
"No, no, absolutely not! Senior Huo is not the kind of person who will take revenge!"
Zhiya shook his head hastily, and thought about it again,
"Actually, Senior Huo was also a student of the Imperial School, two years older than us, but then..."
Huo Xingchao ignored the discussions of the group behind him. He probably dealt with the wound on his hand, and after picking up a few medicinal herbs and the amber herbs that the uncle of the city guard needed, he planned to return to the city.
The gold-ranked amber core he got today has almost met his psychological expectations. The wound on his shoulder is rather troublesome, and he doesn't want to continue wasting time in the foggy forest.
When Huo Xingchao walked to the gate of the city, he returned the storage bag of the uncle defending the city to him, and put four pillars of etched amber grass in it. Uncle Shoucheng happily wanted to pay him, but Huo Xingchao refused.
The young man covered his shoulders, his lips were slightly pale, and he looked seriously injured.
"Uncle, can I rest here for a while?"
"Okay, okay, of course."
Uncle Shoucheng took the things, was very talkative, and walked away thoughtfully, leaving him a private space.
Huo Xingchao leaned against the city wall, closed his eyes, took out two drops of blood essence from his chest with his mind power, and let it quietly seep into the city wall.
This is the safest way he has thought about for a long time.
Every year, the Protoss uses a secret technique to take a few drops of blood essence from the imprisoned "God" to control its strength and compensate itself.
And Huo Xingchao, not counting the hundred or so years in the egg before, since he was born, he is only sixteen years old now.
But his mother has practiced for hundreds of thousands of years.
Time is pressing, instead of letting him practice step by step to become a strong counterattack, it is better to release his mother through blood supply.
As a descendant of "God", Huo Xingchao would not have cultivated so slowly if it weren't for the past few years, he would consume a few drops of his blood essence every so often.
But relying on the fluctuation of the city wall, he could feel that the breath that his mother passed on to him was getting stronger and stronger, and the days of breaking out of the city were not many years away.
The boy opened his eyes, stood up, nodded politely at the gatekeeper, and walked into the city.
He has a big plan.
It keeps popping up in my mind all the time, and I can't stop.
That is the easiest and the highest rate of return, the way to bring all these so-called Protoss into one pot.
At that time, he will gain immortality in the flames.
And in Ermi's heart, her brother will always be that energetic young man.
