The price of obsession is terrible.

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

In addition to the external force of the starship's spontaneous combustion and high-speed impact, he had to control his crystal bone instinct defense at the last moment, so that he could end his life swiftly when he fell to the ground.

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

When Jiang Jianming walked halfway up the mountain, what he saw was a pile of scrap metal starships and burning fire.The huge crystal bone shattered all over the place, and the red gold crystals were dissipating in the flames.

He was slightly startled, the apple in his hand fell to the ground, rolled down the sloping hillside in the firelight, passed through the wreckage of the cockpit, and stopped beside the blood-stained platinum curly hair.

someone?

Jiang Jianming held down the cloak that was flapping in the wind, and took another two steps forward.

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

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

"what do you mean!?"

When Jiang Jianming entered the door, Lin Song was devastated.

She was already mentally prepared to say goodbye to Jiang Jianming, she cried silently for half a night, her eye sockets were swollen.

As a result, this person came back alive, not to mention, and even picked up a little noble from nowhere!?

What's wrong with his brain?

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

He cleared his throat: "Sorry."

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

"……Feel sorry."

Lin Song's eyes were ashen, and he pointed at him with a trembling index finger: "You, you, you, you, you wouldn't just 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, and it would be a pity to throw it away, so Jiang Jianming decided to bring it back together.

Jiang Jianming walked inside with the man in his arms, and Lin Song chased after him bitterly and shouted.

"Hey! What do you mean? You never picked someone up at home before! Didn't you say 'benevolence beyond your ability can't last long'?"

"And he suffered such a serious injury, you will die if you pick it up!"

"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, let's wait for him to die first, and then I will reconsider the matter of letting myself die."

Hearing what he said, Lin Song felt a chill in his heart—he returned to that perfunctory tone, and it's probably useless.

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

After such a toss, when it was almost dawn, Jiang Jianming's whole body began to hurt badly again.

He didn't want to disturb Lin Song, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.In a daze, he suddenly heard small movements beside him.

Jiang Jianming reluctantly turned his sweaty face, only to find that the child he had picked up had woken up.

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

A young disabled human suffering from chronic crystal disorder.

Keos thought.

She was still shaking, and her face was as pale as snow.His Royal Highness couldn't help but wonder if it shattered with a single poke.

Thinking this way, Kaios moved his fingers.His crystal bone was severely damaged, but he still endured the pain and condensed a red gold that was as thick as his wrist, stretching out in front of him.

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

The powerful new human poked the crystal bone towards the sick and disabled human, the tip was so sharp, with a terrifying aura, like a poisonous snake baring its fangs.

Then……

It poked lightly.

Jiang Jianming pinched the crystal bone, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and said in a breathy voice: "Don't make trouble, I will listen to you tomorrow, go to sleep."

Kaios frowned slightly and tilted his head.

Not afraid?

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

In the Star City of Eternal Paradise, the poor in the distance are like lowly grass.

He saw it with his own eyes tonight, but it was completely different from what he remembered.

Whether it is "humble grass" or "humble crippled human beings", the black-haired young man in front of him doesn't look like it.

But Jiang Jianming had already closed his eyes, and he was still shaking.Kaios stared at him for a while, seeing that this man really didn't want to talk to him, so he fell asleep too.

the next day.

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

The sick disabled human turned over in a dazed state, comforted the girl in a low voice, and told her to go out as usual.

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

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

Kaios closed his eyes, listening to the disabled man slowly persuade 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 dust in the air, and he squinted his eyes before he could see clearly.

The black-haired disabled human being had bright eyes, leaned against the corner of the wall with the quilt in his hands, and smiled at him gently: "Good morning, can I have something to eat?"

After a while, Jiang Jianming finished washing.Sitting still wrapped in a quilt, he held the apple in his palm and slowly peeled it with a knife.

Cut off a piece, forked it with the tip of a knife, and handed it to the mouth of the lying green-eyed boy.

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

Keos 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 being overwhelmed the pain of the serious injury, and he was in a rare good mood, not caring about the poor quality of the food.

"You are from the Star City of Eternal Paradise, right?"

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

Keos shook his head: "No need."

When the immediate interest is exhausted, he will still die.

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

As Lin Song said, Jiang Jianming didn't take people home before.

This time it was an exception, more because he felt that his 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, it's good to listen to it.

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

Jiang Jianming: "It's about the emperor."

"Odin I is dead."

"...!"

Jiang Jianming shook his hand, and cut his thumb with a knife, and it took a few seconds for the blood to come out.

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

"What about... the white dove Akaba Club?"

"I haven't heard of it."

Injured, Kaios blinked.

Sure enough, so weak.

"Is the new emperor a benevolent monarch?"

"kindness?"

Odin killed for power, Odin II killed for fun.Nothing to do with such qualities as kindness.

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

Rather, he was surprised that there are poor people in the wild area who would say this kind of word.

Kindness, a character that can only be sung in ancient books, symbolizes the "retro faction"'s highly beautified and brainless worship of the old blue mother planet civilization-at least the royal family and nobles of Eternal Paradise laughed.

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

Keos was still waiting for more questions.The handicapped man stopped talking, and then just concentrated on peeling apples to feed him.

An apple was eaten soon. Jiang Jianming put down the blade, opened an upside-down pot, took out the root of wild vegetables soaked in water, lit a fire, and roasted it for himself to eat.

Halfway, he found that the boy was still looking at him intently, so he explained: "This is bitter, you may not be used to it."

"..."

Kaios' eyes darkened.It was only then that he realized that perhaps disabled humans had no second apples.

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

I should have known...

He has no need of such self-sacrificing handouts.

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

This time he slept for a long time, and many fragments flashed in his dream, including the dark laboratory, the strange cultivation chamber, the cold injection of drugs, and the old green eyes of Odin I.

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

...

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 handicapped man would give lectures to that girl every night.

Keos lay beside him, just listening casually.

Unexpectedly, the more listened, the more shocked became.What the handicapped man told were all stories and truths that he had never heard before.

Until Jiang Jianming blew out the candle, the night was dark, and he was still immersed in it and could not sleep.

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

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

The young prince with platinum curly hair turned cold, feeling unhappy.

No one had ever been safe speaking to him in such a commanding tone.

But he found that there was nothing he could do. Human beings are fragile creatures, and they would cut their fingers if they were frightened when peeling an apple.

If he did it, the other party would definitely die, but he was not unhappy enough to want the other party to die.

The rebellious little monster became annoyed—it was impossible for him to obey, so he stared at the disabled humans more arrogantly every night, which was quite eerie in the middle of the night.

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

For the first few days, Keos could not 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 improves day by day.It seems that as long as lie down for ten days and a half months, those injuries will recover as before.

Initially, Lin Song was expecting this eccentric aristocratic boy to die from his injuries.

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

The young man flicked his hair expressionlessly, avoiding those cold fingers, but he didn't make any objection.

Jiang Jianming thought for a while, "Then it's called... Lai An."

"The meaning of the little king."

Kaios was slightly startled, thinking to himself: Did he discover his identity?

I also felt it was impossible, how could people in the wild area recognize the prince.

Lin Song wanted to cry without tears: "Dawn! Are you really going to raise him? This guy doesn't know his identity and origin, what if he brings trouble one day?"

"It won't last long," Jiang Jianming said softly, "Lai An is a nobleman. After half a month, his injuries will be better. Anyone who goes to any city will send him back to Eternal Paradise."

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

Long before the death of Odin I, the format of the imperial mausoleum had already been determined to be extremely extravagant.Now that the old emperor has passed away, the empire will build a large mausoleum and thousands of monuments for him, and bury him with expensive gold and silver.

The tide of the great era came layer upon layer. The royal family exploited the nobles, and the nobles exploited Star City. 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 in front of the city guards and offer up all their resources.

Then they gathered enough 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 badly that he couldn't even get up in the morning and watched Lin Song go out in a daze.

After taking another nap for about half an hour, he was awakened by a loud shout like thunder.

"come out!!"

"Bitch, get out of here!!"
