Auguste immediately refused Tanamoâs invitation and said politely, âJianJian is vegetarian.â
Tanamo sighed disappointedly. âYou will miss a delicious feast...â
âWe just stopped by to see you. I didnât realize you even have children now.â Carl honestly hurt Tanamoâs heart.
âBy the way? Where are you going?â
âFind the moonlight flower for Jamie... You understand.â
Tanamo nodded, Jamie had been looking for the moonlight for a long time. He knew, âOh, Auguste, while cleaning the expedition, Bena and I found an electronic star map in a pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When the voice fell, everyone was stunned. When they first came to the expeditionary ship, they looked at the star maps on the expeditionary ship, only part of which was missing â the path to the main star of Ayulon. And the electronic star map Tanamo found in his slippers was probably the missing star path!
Haiâan immediately looked up at Auguste standing next to him. Auguste was apparently shocked by the news. He was surprised at the news. His dark red eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Tanamo in a daze.
âWalk around and sit in with me.â Tanamo went ahead and took the lead in bringing Auguste back to the ship.
A small part of the expedition was cleaned up by Tanamo and Bena and kept for Auguste elsewhere. Bena was cooking in the room with an apron tied at her waist. She saw Auguste coming in and wiping her hands and saying, âHey, Auguste, is this JianJian?â
All the people on the Vagrant, except Carl, Haiâan and XiaXia, were black-haired and black-eyed, but XiaXia and Leston remained on the Vagrant to see the boat. Haiâanâs long silver hair and aqua-green eyes were incompatible with the group, and his trademark sharp ears, innocent eyes like a deer, could soften people.
Tanamo has been telling her since she last saw JianJianâs mini-human form how Augusteâs plant looked so good. Even the ears were one section longer than other plant goblins. Itâs so cute. Unexpectedly, she hadnât seen him for a long time and JianJian had grown so big.
Bena looked again at the tall Auguste standing next to him, holding Haiâanâs hand tightly, and knew who JianJian was.
But Auguste was so big... Could JianJian stand such a big...?
Bena, who has become a woman, began to overflow with yellowness, but on the surface nothing was revealed, to maintain the original image of the elite female bug.
âHello, Bena.â Haiâan took a few steps forward and said hello cleverly. The aqua-green eyes were as bright as emeralds. The delicate features did not look real. They were as pure and beautiful as angels. Alas, just such a beautiful person has been occupied by Auguste.
How did Bena look at his eyes as if there was something wrong? Haiâan was biased and doubtful. As a result, when Bena saw Haiâanâs stupidity, the pity in her eyes deepened.
âThings go back to their original owners.â Tanamo came out of the bedroom, waved insect feet, put an electronic star map chip into Augusteâs hands, and saw that Auguste remained silent. Tanamo sighed, âYou canât end the war, but it will end one day. Donât you want to go home and see it?â
âAuguste...â Carl stood behind him and whispered, âGo back and have a look.â
â... Okay.â Auguste closed his palms and put the chip in his pocket.
âTanamo, weâve finished. Thank you for your hospitality.â Corson and Colin, who had just been led to the dining room by Tanamo, had come out. Tanamo thought this was a little strange. Why did they eat so fast?
âYes, it tastes great.â Colin nodded with his brother and raised a thumb at Tanamo. âItâs much better than the one I ate last time!â
âHa-ha-ha! If you like, Iâll invite you to eat next time, and then Iâll give you a new taste! â
Colin and Corson: â...â
Is it too late for them to refuse now?
âWell, now that youâre going to look for moonlight flower, I wonât delay you any longer.â Tanamo waved. âAuguste, when you find your hometown, remember to send me a picture.â
âCertainly.â Augusteâs eyes drooped. âHeâs with me now... It will be better.â
âWell, I donât know when Auguste will be back after his departure.â After watching the ship leave the planet, Tanamo said sadly.
Bena patted him on the upper limb and comforted him: âHeâll come back and heâll see the wonderful planet, too.â
âI hope so.â Tanamo sighed and looked up at a picture in the dining room â a picture of all the crew of the expedition, with a blue planetary landscape behind it.
Auguste didnât come to the dining room so hecertainly couldnât see the picture. The Colin brothers, busy with the meat insect feast, didnât have the leisure to look at the pictures on the wall. After a while of sadness, Tanamo began to clean up the dining room.
âHuh? Why did Colin and Corson even eat their plates? Tanamo looked under the table and couldnât find Colinâs tray left over from their insect dinner. âItâs strange.â
Meanwhile, on the Vagrantâ
Jamie sat down next to Colin and Corson and whispered, âDid you two really finish the meat bug dinner? How did you eat so fast?â
âNo, we packed it, and weâre going to send it to Queltan and YanYan when we get to a courier transfer station.â Corson shook the small storage device in his hand.
Colin then echoed, âAnyway, we did eat everything. We left them nothing when we left. Letâs give them a good meal.â
Jamie: â...â
When Auguste got on board, he leaned against the table and was silent. Carl came up to him and hit him with his elbow. âWhat about the star map? Wonât you open it?â
âDo you want to go back?â Auguste moved and pulled out the electronic star map chip from his pocket.
Carl took the electronic star map chip and sneered, âIf you donât want to go back, why would you call the ship the Vagrant? You didnât agree with me when I said it was Wang Ba.â
âWell, Carl, youâre not right. If the ship was called the Kingâs Bull, I would have never come aboard.â Colin chewed the apple, grabbed Corsonâs neck and said, âAuguste, just look at it. Letâs go first to find the moonlight for Jamie, and then go to the main star of Ayulon for a tour.â
âAuguste doesnât look at us.â Carl took the card reader and then pressed the projection button to show the whole star map into the hall.
The light in the hall dimmed instantly, and countless speckle particles formed a huge moving map of the universe around them, shining a light blue light in each personâs pupil.
Haiâan raised his head and looked at the map for a while. Suddenly, he frowned and said with some doubt, âThis map... Itâs like the map Palatine gave us.â
âYes... Weâre here now, and weâve just come from the companion star.â Lydney stretched out his slender fingers and crossed the orbit between the planets. âThe end of this map... Itâs the planet where moonlight flower grows.â
The moonlight flower grows on the main star of Ayulon?
âImpossible! I never saw such flowers when I was a child! â Carl walked up to the marked planet frowned and murmured, âThere are no flowers on the main star...â
âWhy not?â Jamie was a little strange, âThere is no record of the main star of Ayulon in the stars. The book only mentions that Ayulon has many subsidiary planets.â
âThe main star of Ayulon is a sea.â Auguste took off the main star on the map and held it in his hand. The planet formed by blue spot particles glowed in his hand, just like the planet he saw as a child, âhalf shallow sea, half deep sea.â
âWe live in the shallow sea. The shallow sea is like an unknown tree, which can be used for dozens of Ayulons to return to their original shape and live on it. There are no other plants, let alone moonlight...â
The main star of Ayulon was very large. Auguste has lived for so many years and he had never seen a planet larger than Ayulonâs. The surface area of the shallow sea alone was equal to the total area of 100,000 Titus stars. However, this was only half of its total area.
The other half was the dangerous deep sea.
The deep sea was dangerous and dark as it went down. There were even creatures that could kill an Ayulon as they were tens of times the size of Ayulon. It could kill Ayulon with an ease like a bird eating a caterpillar. Even the strongest Ayulon could not escape from it. No Ayulon could tell exactly what was on the bottom of the sea as all of those who went to the innermost part of the deep sea never came back.
Old dragons say that there may be another unknown world in there.
In the shallow sea, only fresh water was edible, but there was no food. All food had to be obtained from the deep sea. It was said that the materials used by Ayulon to build buildings in the shallow sea originated from the deep sea, but that was more than a billion years ago.
More than a billion years later, Ayulons no longer lived on trees like their ancestors, but built other high-tech buildings. Only a very small number of Ayulons chose to continue living on trees.
By the time Auguste was born, the Ayulons had ceased to enter the deep sea. By then, they had developed enough technology to gain resources by invading other planets. There was no need to enter the dangerous deep sea and sacrifice their companions for the resources they needed to survive. An Ayulonâs life was very long. Usually, the longer the life is, the longer the race will take to grow up. But the growth rate of an Ayulon was different. It only took one hundred years for them to grow up which was probably a result of living in close proximity to a deep sea.But instead of going to the deep sea to catch food, they evolved another instinct: bloodthirsty, irritable and belligerent.
