    Chapter 208 Ignite the Withered Years (1)

    The price of being obsessed is tragic.

    For a monster-level existence like Kaios, seeking death is a difficult task.

    In addition to the external force of the starship's spontaneous combustion and high-speed impact, he also had to control his own crystal bone instinctive defense at the last moment, so that he could end his life neatly at the moment of falling to the ground.

    As a result, he lost his mind for a moment, the impact was also deviated, and the crystal bone was not controlled.

    When Jiang Jianming walked halfway up the mountain, what he saw was a pile of scrap iron starships and a burning fire. The huge crystal bone shattered, and the red gold crystal was escaping in the firelight.

    He was slightly startled, and the apple in his hand fell to the ground, rolling down the sloping hillside in the firelight, past the wreckage of the cockpit, and stopped beside the blood-stained platinum curls.

    anyone?

    Jiang Jianming suppressed the cloak that was rattled by the wind, and took another two steps forward.

    Starlight falls. saw a young boy covered in blood lying among the wreckage, and most of his cheeks and his entire body were covered with broken crystals.

    And a pair of emerald green eyes stared straight at him... After two or three seconds, they slowly closed.

    "what do you mean!?"

    When Jiang Jianming entered the door, Lin Ge collapsed.

    She was mentally prepared to say goodbye to Jiang Jianming, and cried silently for a long time, her eyes were swollen.

    In the end, this person came back alive, not to mention, he even picked up a little nobleman from nowhere! ?

    What's wrong with his brain?

    Jiang Jianming stood at the door with a complicated mood, holding the aristocratic young boy who was pulled out of the abandoned ship in his arms, with a rare guilty conscience on his face.

    He cleared his throat: "Sorry."

    "Where's the apple I gave you!?"

    "……Feel sorry."

    Lin Ge's eyes were ashen, and he pointed at him with a trembling index finger: "You, you, you, you, you, you won't throw—"

    Jiang Jianming: "That's not true."

    He turned sideways, and it turned out that the apple was stuffed into the arms of the little nobleman.

    After all, it is precious food. It would be a pity to throw it away. Jiang Jianming decided to bring it back together.

    Jiang Jianming walked inside with someone in his arms, but Lin Ge followed and shouted angrily.

    "Hey! What do you mean, you never picked up people from your home before! 'A kind deed beyond your ability can't last long', didn't you say it yourself?"

    "And he is so seriously injured that you will die if you pick it up and go home!"

    "Otherwise, how do you want to treat him, give him your own medicine!? That's useless, you see he's bleeding so much..."

    Jiang Jianming: "Well, wait for him to die first, and then I will reconsider the matter of letting myself die."

    Hearing what he said, Lin Ge felt a chill in his heart—he returned to that perfunctory tone, 80% of the time it was over.

    She glared fiercely at the little nobleman with platinum curly hair in Jiang Jianming's arms, thinking to herself: This guy is all to blame!

    After so much tossing, when it was almost dawn, Jiang Jianming started to hurt badly all over again.

    He didn't want to quarrel with Lin Ge, so he just gritted his teeth and endured it. In the confusion, I suddenly heard small movements beside me.

    Jiang Jianming reluctantly turned his sweaty face, and found that the child he picked up actually woke up.

    In the darkness, the boy's emerald green eyes stared at him like a cat, a little cool, but very clean.

    A young disabled human suffering from chronic crystal disorder.

    Kaios thought.

    She was still shaking, and her face was as pale as snow. It made His Royal Highness unable to help but wonder if it would shatter with a single poke.

    Kaios thought so, and moved his fingers. His crystal bone was severely damaged, but he still endured the pain and condensed a red-gold color with the thickness of the wrist and stretched out in front of him.

    The night was quiet, and in this dilapidated and poor house, there was only the sound of Lin Ge's long breathing as he fell asleep.

    The powerful new human probes the crystal bone towards the sick and disabled human, the tip is so sharp, with a terrifying breath, like a poisonous snake showing its fangs.

    Then……

    Poke lightly.

    Jiang Jianming pinched the crystal bone, his brows were clear and light, and he said in a voice: "Don't make trouble, I'll listen to you tomorrow, go to sleep."

    Kaios frowned slightly and tilted his head.

    Are you not afraid?

    Before, he had only heard of the wild areas on the Blue Mother Planet and the poor people wandering there in the few words of others.

    In Yongyuan Star City, the poor in the distance are like lowly grass.

    He saw it with his own eyes tonight, but it was completely different from his impression.

    Whether it's a "despicable grass" or a "despicable crippled human being", the black-haired young man in front of him is nothing like it.

    But Jiang Jianming had closed his eyes, but he was still shaking. Kaios stared at him for a while, seeing that this man really wasn't going to take care of him, so he had to sleep too.

    the next day.

    When Kaios was half awake, the black-haired girl who was blind in one left eye got up from the bed and glared at him fiercely.

    The sick disabled human rolled over in a dazed way, and whispered to comfort the girl, and let her go out as usual.

    "Don't!" Lin Ge said angrily, "In case this guy wakes up and plots against you..."

    Jiang Jianming coaxed helplessly: "He was so seriously injured that he couldn't wake up. You said yesterday that he was dying."

    Kaios closed his eyes and listened to the disabled man slowly persuading the half-blind girl out.

    As soon as the girl left, he opened his eyes. The morning light coming in from the broken window illuminated the floating dust, and he squinted first before his vision became clear.

    The black-haired disabled man had bright eyebrows, leaned against the corner with the quilt, and smiled at him gently: "Good morning, can I have something to eat?"

    After a while, Jiang Jianming finished washing up. Still sitting wrapped in a quilt, holding the apple in the palm of his hand, he slowly cut it with a knife.

    Cut off a piece, fork it with the tip of a knife, and hand it to the mouth of the lying Cui-eyed teenager.

    "Shh, don't tell Lin Ge I'll feed you this."

    Kaios took a bite. It's not delicious. He has eaten more fruits in the palace that are thousands of times better than this apple.

    But now, the interest in this disabled human has overwhelmed the pain of the serious injury, which makes him in a rare good mood and does not care about the poor quality of the food.

    "You came from Yongyuan Star City, right?"

    Jiang Jianming peeled the apple and said warmly, "What should I call you?"

    Kaios shook his head: "No need."

    He will still die when the immediate interest is exhausted.

    Jiang Jianming didn't force it, but said, "I want to know what the current empire looks like, can you tell me?"

    As Lin Ge said, Jiang Jianming didn't take anyone home before.

    This time the exception was made more because the conscious death was approaching.

    This body has been trapped in the poor and lowly mud for too long, and he really wants to see the world outside the wild area before he dies... If it doesn't work, just listen.

    Kaios chewed the apple slowly, "What do you want to hear?"

    Jiang Jianming: "The emperor's business."

    "Odin I is dead."

    "...!"

    Jiang Jianming's hand shook, and the knife pulled out a hole in his thumb, and blood beads appeared a few seconds later.

    He lowered his eyelashes in a daze, and put his fingertips in his mouth, "Really?"

    "Then... what about the White Dove Chiye Club?"

    "Haven't heard of it."

    Injured, Kaios blinked.

    Really so weak.

    "Is the new emperor a benevolent monarch?"

    "kindness?"

    Odin kills for power, Odin II kills for fun. In no way does it have anything to do with such qualities as kindness.

    The little boy sneered and shook his head, his platinum curly hair swaying.

    Rather, he was surprised that there would be poor people in the wild who would say such a word.

    Kindness, a character that can only be sung in ancient books, symbolizes the "retro school"'s highly glorified and mindless worship of the old blue mother star civilization - at least the royal family and aristocrats of Yongyuan Park laughed like this.

    Jiang Jianming sighed slightly, he was not surprised, but his already pale complexion became even more tired.

    Kaios is still waiting for more questions. The disabled man stopped talking, and then just focused on peeling apples and feeding him.

    An apple was quickly eaten, Jiang Jianming put down the blade, opened an upside-down pot, took out the wild vegetable roots immersed in water, made a fire, and baked it to eat by himself.

    Halfway through, he found that the young man was still staring at him, so he explained, "This is bitter, you may not be used to it."

    "..."

    Kaios' eyes darkened. Only then did he realize that perhaps the disabled human beings do not have a second apple.

    Perhaps... the fruit that I didn't think was delicious just now was a rare delicacy for the people in front of me.

    I knew earlier...

    He didn't need such self-sacrificing handouts at all.

    The young man became sullen for no reason, snorted coldly, rolled over and closed his eyes, and fell asleep again facing the wall.

    This time he slept for a long time, and there were many fragments in his dream, such as a dark laboratory, a strange cultivation warehouse, an icy injection of drugs, and the old green eyes of Odin I.

    There is also a black-haired and white-skinned disabled human, wearing a shabby cloak, sitting in the morning light and eating apples.

    ...

    For the next period of time, Kaios was raised by disabled people like this.

    He soon discovered that as long as his body allowed, the disabled would give lectures to the girl every night.

    Kaios was lying beside him and just listened casually.

    Unexpectedly, the more listened to it, the more was secretly shocked. The disabled people tell stories and truths that he has never heard before.

    Until Jiang Jianming blew out the candle, the night was getting dark, and he was still immersed in it and couldn't sleep.

    Kaios couldn't help turning over and staring at the pale face, thinking to himself, how could a disabled human living in the wild area have such vision and knowledge?

    After staring for a while, the disabled human opened his eyes helplessly, and said to him in a low voice, "Don't look at me, go to sleep."

    The young prince with curly platinum hair froze and felt unpleasant.

    No one had ever spoken to him in such a commanding tone without ever having been harmed.

    But he found that there was nothing he could do. Disabled human beings are fragile creatures.

    If he does it, the other party will inevitably die, but he is not unhappy enough to want the other party to die.

    The rebellious little monster was annoyed - he couldn't obey, so he stared at the crippled humans more arrogantly every night, which was a bit gloomy in the middle of the night.

    Jiang Jianming had no choice but to get used to it.

    For the first few days, Kaios couldn't move. In addition to multiple fractures, his internal organs were also severely damaged, and he vomited no less blood than Jiang Jianming.

    But his self-healing ability is much stronger than ordinary people, and his complexion is improving day by day. It seems that as long as you lie down for ten days and a half months, those injuries will recover as before.

    At first, Lin Ge also expected that this strange noble boy would die of serious injuries.

    As a result, two days later, Jiang Jianming calmly touched the boy's curly hair during her jumping protest: "Let's give you a temporary name."

    The young man shook his hair expressionlessly and avoided those cool fingers, but didn't say anything against it.

    Jiang Jianming thought for a while, "That's called... Ryan."

    "The meaning of the little king."

    Kaios was slightly startled and thought to himself: Did he discover his identity?

    I also felt that it was impossible. How could people in the wild area recognize the prince.

    Lin Ge wanted to cry without tears: "Dawn! Are you really going to support him? I don't know where this guy is from, what if he brings disaster someday?"

    "It won't be raised for a long time," Jiang Jianming said warmly. "Lean is from a noble family. After half a month, his injury will be better. In any city area, someone will send him back to Yongyuan Park."

    At that time, they did not expect that the disaster was not brought by this mysterious young man, but came quietly in another way.

    Long before the death of Odin I, the standard of the imperial mausoleum had been determined to be an extremely extravagant specification. Now that the old emperor has passed away, the empire will build a large tomb and a thousand monuments for him, and will be buried with expensive gold and silver items.

    The tide of the big era came in layers, the royal family exploited the nobles, the nobles exploited the star city, and the star city levied a "burial tax" on every urban area, and the urban area had to turn to suck the blood of the wild area.

    The "lords" of the wild area were forced to bow their heads and bow in front of the city guards, offering all the resources.

    Then he counted the number of people aggressively, and rushed towards the refugees in their respective territories.

    It has been snowing for two days. Jiang Jianming's physical condition deteriorated so much that he couldn't even get up in the morning and watched Lin Ge go out in a daze.

    After taking another nap for about half an hour, he was awakened by a thunderous scream.

    "come out!!"

    "Bastards, get out of here for me!!"
