Intergalactic Era of Gossip - Chapter 23
On this sunset trip to the volcano, nothing was gained except for a heart-shattering selfie.
Thinking of the wandering worm Hijin living in an unknown corner of the imperial capital, Naren felt a headache while feeling a little choked.
As a “comrade” who was forced to bind with Hijin, he didn’t even know the whereabouts of his little partner, but Sells, who could monitor the other party’s location at any time.
He returned home full of thoughts, and then received news from another little friend, Levitra.
“Naren, the person who came to Sells before asked me to pay him the balance. I have something to do with me, so you can help me with it! He wants cash.”
Naryn: “…who?”
Lei Da: “It’s Xijin… Is he really a bug star?”
Naren quickly said: “How did you find him before?”
Lei Da: “I went to the Black Street. There are many homeless people there, and he is the best-looking.”
Narren: “Good-looking?”
Lei Da: “Yes, the one-night romance between the down-and-out young man and the Imperial Marshal. The young man left alone the next day because he felt unworthy of each other… Is it touching?”
One, point, child, all, no.
“Xijin worked very hard. He had memorized countless manuscripts before he went, but he didn’t know where the stubborn man came out, and he smashed the original plot.”
Naren who was lying on the gun suddenly: “…hehe.”
Lelida was still very concerned about Xijin’s identity, and asked again: “Is he really a bug?”
Naryn sneered again and again: “Don’t you read the news? A giant worm attacks people, and he is the worm.”
Alida froze for a while: “I’m going to a neighboring city now. I can’t come out to see him.”
Naryn: “What are you going to do in the neighboring city?”
Lelida froze in an instant, and after talking for a long time, Naren finally got the idea.
In just a few days, when he was dealing with Sells, Levitra was also in dire straits.
The infatuated elementary school boy stopped at the door of Elida’s house every day, crying silently. This moved the earl, who had to go out once a day, and took his irresponsible son to give someone an explanation.
So, Levida bit the bullet and asked the younger brother to come out.
“When I woke up, I found that I was no longer in the imperial capital.”
Naryn: “…”
Lilida’s tone was full of vicissitudes: “I’m so tired.”
Naryn comforted a few words and encouraged his friends to be strong.
Levitra: “I feel like the kidney is going to be weak.”
The comforting words came to an abrupt end.
Ellida is struggling: “I like women, but he tempts me every day, I am very painful, should I be responsible to him, no, I…”
Naryn interrupted him expressionlessly, and pulled the topic to the beginning: “Where did you meet Higgin?”
Lei Da’s emotions have not yet gathered, and he said painfully: “Your home.”
Naryn was silent.
Before Prince Charles broke out, Levitra promptly added: “Did you not buy a house in the suburbs a few years ago, and then it was haunted and abandoned. There is no one nearby, so I won’t be discovered by anyone, right? The total is 50,000 Abi, I…”
Naryn: “Well, needless to say, I will pay.”
He must be stupid, so he would seduce Lei Da to deal with Sells.
Although Xijin already knew that he was a big beard, more insiders did not know. He didn’t know the gulf between Prince Charles and the Imperial Marshal, nor did he know why Naryn disguised himself as a bearded man.
Naryn did not intend to expose too much.
Therefore, he is the business of Hijin’s employer, and it is best not to be discovered.
A hint of deep thought appeared in the gray-green eyes. Hijin is a gold-eater, very sensitive to the smell of metal. How should he conceal the ring breath on his body?
The point is that now that Sells has mastered Higgin’s whereabouts, he has arranged for someone to follow him in all likelihood.
Thinking of this, he took out a palm-sized communicator and tentatively sent a message.
[Smile.jpg]
Sells sent a reply quickly.
[Hey, change the way of smiling next time. 】
[Where is Hijin? I suspect you were bluffing me last time, I need to verify it. 】
[You are separated, he is alone now. 】
[What about the picture? 】
【图.jpg】
Made a selfie again!
[I want to look at Xijin to see if the micro-matter positioning is true or false. 】
After a while, Sells sent another picture.
Naryn’s conditioned reflex became nervous, for fear that it would be another high-definition uncoded selfie picture. Finally, I opened it and saw the fateful Hijin Wanderer.
The shooting angle is at the rear right, and the shooting location cannot be seen from the background.
Xijin sat on the ground and was quietly lifting the metal manhole cover, seeming to be very hungry.
The facts are in front of him, Sells did send someone to follow Higgin.
【Two hours after meal, medicated bath works best. 】
[Goodbye.jpg]
At this time, an announcement came from outside: “My lord, your majesty is summoned.”
Naryn was stunned, thinking that he was still on vacation.
Even so, he quickly dressed up and sprayed a lot of perfume-first he was smelled metallic by gold-eaters, and then by Sells, he was really afraid of these sensitive creatures.
So when Naryn appeared in the emperor’s bedroom, His Majesty sneezed three violently.
“What smell?” He waved his hand, looking unbearable.
Naryn: “…” He also wants to be a colorless and tasteless person, really.
He saluted indifferently, and Naron asked about the reason for the call.
His Majesty the Emperor covered his nose and went straight to the subject: “The hunting festival is coming soon. I plan to leave the hunting grounds to you to make preparations.”
Naryn’s face changed slightly.
Chapter 24 [Hunting Festival] The only traditional festival left by the Yasha after entering the interstellar civilization.
As the only traditional festival left by the Yasha after entering the interstellar civilization, the Hunting Festival can be called a national event. Although the way of celebrating is far from ancient times, the spiritual meaning still exists.
The festival is held once every three years, and each time lasts for seven days. There will be large-scale events and ceremonies in the first few days, and the royal hunt is the first stop to kick off the festival.
Unlike the game of “ancient ancestors hunted prey and relied on the number of prey to win glory”, it is not a real hunt, but a game of “hunter team” and “prey team”. Regardless of the team, the participants are often imperial nobles and celebrities, and there will be many mini-cameras that will broadcast live on the whole network that day.
This is also a way for the royal family to get close to the people. Every three years, His Majesty has a headache how to maintain a tall image in front of the entire empire, and this time is no exception.
“Remember to adjust the angle of the camera of the host station to ensure the shooting effect. You can ask Sells about safety protection. In previous years, the guards of the hunting grounds were selected from him.”
Naryn: “Your Majesty…”
Emperor: “Huh?”
Naren: “I remember that this matter has always been taken care of by someone else. Why did you suddenly find me?”
The emperor sighed: “Cornell went back to his hometown for a vacation. Now there is no principal person to coordinate and manage the progress. Everyone is familiar with the specific process. This is not difficult.”
Naryn: “…”
The emperor squinted his eyes: “You don’t want to?”
Naryn said sincerely: “Of course I am willing to serve your Majesty.” He said in a voice, and continued: “In addition to preparing for the celebration, I am willing to do other things. I heard that the scepter disappeared not long ago, and Sells is in charge of the investigation. After so many days, do you have a clue?”
The emperor said: “I just summoned him today to report on the progress. If you are interested, you can stay and listen together.”
Naryn said: “The royal hunting ceremony requires you to hold the scepter to announce it. If the scepter cannot be retrieved before the hunting festival, then the practice that has lasted for thousands of years may need to be adjusted.”
Emperor:”…”
A hint of worries flashed through the gray-green eyes: “I hope it will not damage the majesty of the royal family. The scepter is snatched by the Zerg, it is really not a thing worth promoting.”
The emperor’s eyes revealed some deep thoughts.
It didn’t take long for Sayles to appear in the hall. The imperial marshal was dressed in a dark military uniform, with a cold face, like a perfect statue standing beside Naryn.
Sells didn’t show any strange emotions to his presence, he nodded slightly, and said hello to him.
Naryn: “…” What should I do if those two high-definition selfies pop up in my mind?
Fortunately, the real Sayles looked very introverted, far away from the one in the communicator, which made Naryn breathe a sigh of relief. He said: “Your Majesty will leave the hunting grounds to me to make preparations. In the future, we may meet more days.”
Sells said: “Then we have more opportunities to have dinner.”
His Majesty the Emperor is very curious: “You want to have a dinner?”
Sells nodded.
The emperor: “…” He very much suspected that this was a code word between the two, and its true meaning would not be so harmonious, friendly, positive and healthy.
Next, Sells and the Emperor reported on the progress of the scepter case.
Naryn stood aside the whole time, listening with a cold face.
When Sells said: “I have mastered the whereabouts of the gold eater, he seems to be looking for a way, he should have made an appointment with his comrades to meet.”
An unknown premonition spread from the bottom of my heart.
Naryn seemed to see another huge ridge appeared in front of him, waiting for himself to cross.
His Majesty the emperor slapped the table, “Peng” slammed into someone’s heart.
“It must be done in one swoop and let them hand over the scepter.”
Sells said lightly: “He looks very timid. Interrogation after catching him should be able to let him vomit everything he knows.”
Naryn felt cold. How long have you been observing and tracking? Even the characteristics of timidity were unearthed.
Although Xijin looked very harmless, he was not completely sure that the other party would keep him secret. Similarly, he was not completely sure that he could get away smoothly.
“…Just on the way, have a meal together?” Unknowingly, Sells reported the general progress and immediately invited the people around him for dinner.
Naryn was silent and opposed.
Also silent was His Majesty the Emperor, who sat down with a serious face, as if intending to watch the battle quietly.
Sells said again: “I drove over today.”
Naryn didn’t think for too long: “Okay, let’s go.” Anyway, evasion is not the solution to the problem. Only by facing up to difficulties and knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win the subsequent confrontation.
Emperor:”…”
Watched by a complicated line of sight, the two left together.
After arriving in the parking garage, Sells opened the door next to the driver’s seat and generously gave up the right to drive his car.
But instead of driving immediately, Naryn took out the terminal and began to search for nearby food. In the end he chose a restaurant and asked Sells for his opinion.
“Listen to you.”
The voice came from her ears, and Naron turned her head violently, and found that Sells did not know when he was very close to him, as if he had leaned in to see shop recommendations.
Naren took advantage of the opportunity of setting up a vehicle to quickly open the distance.
The car trembled for a while, and galloped out like an arrow from the string.
The taste of the dishes is satisfying, and everything is pretty good except for those who eat.
After drinking and eating, Naron asked casually, “How are you going to catch the insect?”
Sells: “I am more interested in his companion than that bug.”
Naryn: “Companion?”
Sells reached out and clicked on the personal terminal, and called up a picture: “It’s him.”
The man with stubble face and long greasy curly hair appeared in Naren’s sight.
Sells said: “This is a picture circulated from a live broadcast platform. I think the shot is good.”
Narren: “…indeed, very clear.”
Sells retracted the terminal, and the two began to talk about the defensive arrangement of the hunting ground, and then the conversation turned to the hunting festival.
“Will you participate in this year’s hunting game?”
Naren looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn’t understand why he suddenly asked, but he still replied: “I missed the first few sessions because of temporary incidents. I should try it this time. After all, it looks very interesting.”
Speaking of it, the guy Lelida clamored to sign up for the Hunting Festival several months ago, and he didn’t know if he could come back this time.
