âAugu, are you okay?â When Haiâan saw Auguste collapse, he could not help shouting his childhood name for Auguste.
âWhy donât you call Augusteâs full name instead of Augu?â Colin circled his arms and looked puzzled.
âBecause of love, they are together after all.â
âThen to avoid suspicion, are we going to have to call obscure Augu in the future?â
Corson looked up and looked at Colin in silence. He didnât want to talk.
âIâm a little dizzy.â Auguste leaned on Haiâanâs neck and whispered with his lips against his warm skin, pressing down the tip of his nose and rubbing his whole face. He wondered if it was because Haiâan was a plant that he always had a fresh aroma of flowers and smelled very refreshing.
It was better to kiss. It was also great to have a bite and a lick.
Haiâan did not know that he had been in Augusteâs mind tens of thousands of times. He just caressed Augusteâs hair worriedly. âBut your head was not hurt...â
â...â
â... Itâs probably from too much blood loss.â Auguste gave a little snap. He could still cheat JianJian even though he was grown up.
Haiâan laid his hand gently over the wound on Augusteâs shoulder, and when he moved it away, there was no trace of the wound except that the blood was still there.
âWhere are we going now?â Jamie came over, his face was still red and bloody, his hair was messy, and he was still stained with leaves from a few flowers.
âGo to Erenie to find Dean first.â
âWhy?â Colin didnât understand. He hated Dean very much.
âNow the news canât get out, Red Shield is supposed to have touched the Flower Street Star to find Ariella. Tomorrow, Leston canât receive our news any more, and heâs going to call in with a stray number.â Auguste pulled his head out of Haiâanâs arms, but still hugged Haiâanâs waist tightly.
âWhat does this have to do with finding Dean? And Aila, what on earth did you ask her to do?â
âI asked her to save a man.â Auguste touched Haiâanâs hair and sneered, âIf Ivan wants to throw shit on me, itâs up to me whether I want it or not. Ha-ha, leave it for him to enjoy.â
âWell, I understand what you mean.â Jamie waved. âBut how are we going to get out of here now?â
Auguste: â...â
Haiâan also found Augusteâs silence hilarious and wanted to laugh. Ariella and Auguste did not know why they could not change and since they could not contact anyone now, it was really difficult to leave.
âIt must be Uncle Ye,â sighed Auguste. âI couldnât change when Carl and I met them before. Carl was so frightened that he thought he was going to die.â
âI can take you away, follow me.â Haiâan grabbed Augusteâs hand and dragged him to the air canal of the flower bed. The canal was connected with the water from the fountain. The water flowed from the air garden to the sea and sparked a shower of water.
The Church of Erenie was in the city of dawn. Haiâan looked at the dim sky in the distance compared with the capital of day. He lowered his body and dipped his hand into the canal. The cold mist spreads out from his palm. The current soon changed the direction of the flow, bends from the top to a smooth arc, then freezes, and extends to the sea at night. Shining and translucent light shines in the clouds.
âLetâs ski over.â Haiâan looked back at them with bright eyes.
âYou go down first,â Auguste nodded. âI... Itâs too heavy.
All Ayulons were not light in weight after they became human. One would equal the weight of ten normal men. When Corson heard this, he raised his foot and kicked Colin.
âAh -!!â
It was no problem to see the ice slide. Colin and Corson went on one after another, Jamie going after. Auguste took Haiâan in his arms and sat down on the ice slide. It did break up behind him and smashed into pieces.
The waves kept rising and falling behind them, and Haiâan carefully controlled the elements of the wind. The speed of gliding was no slower than the speed they had been in the carriage. Soon it slipped out of the dusk.
Erenie Churchâ
Palatine stood in front of the platform, holding the Bible and praying in a low voice. His long white hair grew paler against the black sacrificial dress, while Uncle Ye wore a black dress and cloak and swept around the church with a broom.
Alia sat on the bench, drinking hot drinks, and beside her sat a little boy. About sixteen or seventeen years old, slender and wearing ragged clothes, but still can see the original expensive cloth.
The little boy was holding a potted flower in his arms, but the leaves of the potted flower were falling down, and many petals were falling. He looked sick and dying. The little boy lowered his head like the decadent flower, and his face was buried in the shadows cast by his broken hair, which made people unable to see his expression.
Alia could not bear the dull atmosphere. She took another bottle of the drink out of the bag and asked the boy. âCough... Do you drink?â
The little boy was still silent and he did not say a word. Instead, the potted flower moved. The little boy raised his head at once. Tears were rolling in his eyes. He immediately took Aliaâs drink and opened it and poured it directly into the pot.
The potted flower trembled after being watered, and the drooping leaves straightened up, feeling a little more energetic. The little boy wiped a tear and sniffed. The potted flower stretched out a branch and rubbed it against the little boyâs hand.
âThank you...â The little boy sobbed his thanks to Alia.
âItâs all right.â Alia nodded, stiffly opened the corner of her mouth, and Uncle Ye swept past her again with a broom. Alia hesitated to say, âUncle Ye... This land has been swept.â
Uncle Ye swept the floor and heard the sound. âWhere else have I not swept?â
Alia opened her mouth and pointed to a nearby corner.
âOh, thank you.â Uncle Ye walked to the corner with his broom in hand and turned half way back. âYour flat head is very handsome.â
Alia: â...â She was praised, but she couldnât laugh at all.
Suddenly there was a rhythmic knock on the church door, and Palatine opened his eyes. This knock was unique to Dean. After three knocks, the church door opened itself, and Dean appeared at the door with a piece of snow on his back. âThe snow is getting heavier and heavier, just like that night...â
Palatine turned and lowered his eyes. âDonât talk to me...â
âTrouble to let -â Carl followed Dean and carefully escorted Lydney into the church. âDean! Why are you here?â
âTo see my teacher. After all, I havenât seen him for a long time. Is Uncle Ye still sweeping the floor?â Dean stood on tiptoe and saw Uncle Ye sweeping the floor in the corner.
âCarl.â Alia got up from the bench and said hello to Carl.
âAlia? Where have you been these days?â
âAuguste asked me to save a man.â Alia shrugged and pointed to the little boy next to her. The boy probably came alive after drinking a drink from the flowers in his arms. Now he was in a much better mood and stood up with the flowerpot in his arms.
As he looked up, Carl and Lydney were stunned. They knew this little boy. He was the little boy who bought the rose in Freeport. The little boy looked up and stared, apparently recognizing Carl and Lydney.
âDo you know each other?â Alia looked at the expressions of the three of them and asked hesitantly.
âThis is a coincidence...right?â Carl was a little hesitant.
Because the little boy was growing too fast, right? When they met him in Freeport, he was still a little one, and now he looked bigger than Haiâan.
âItâs me.â The little boy dropped his head and sat back, gently touching the branches and leaves of the little flower.
Lydney closed the door of the church, kept the snow from pouring in, and walked toward the little boy. âYour flowers donât look very good.â When the little boy had just stood up, he was holding a flower pot. Lydney saw the sickness of the little plant.
âSheâs full.â The little boy frowned and looked worried. âShe ate too much to save me. I donât want her to suffocate and die...â
Lydney: â...â How much meat did the flower eat?
He did not forget the warm reminder in the Handbook of Small-billed Flowers Raising: Small-billed Flowers are easy to kill because they eat too much.
âHow did you grow so fast?â Carl only paid attention to the boyâs stumbling height. It took him hundreds of years to grow up like a child because he had no eggshell.
âDad passed on strength and memory to me in order to save me.â The little boy sniffed and whipped and talked. âIvan killed him, I saw it, I saw it with my own eyes!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
There were very few people who could carry on the power transmission, as Carl knows, and there is only one person who had a son â Grey Alto.
âIs your father...?â
âMy father is Grey Alto, and Iâm Queltan.â
Carl finally understood. No wonder Ivan had to kill him.
Grey Alto was the head of the former Second Regiment of the Empire. He was a rare honest man in the Emperorâs regiment and very patriotic, but he was only blindly loyal. He could do almost anything the Empire asked him to do, as long as he did not touch the moral bottom line.
And his blood was also very peculiar; he was a land beast.
Grey Alto must have been trying to protect his son, so he forcibly inherited his strength and forced Queltan to awaken ahead of time. After all, any race of blood can only awaken in adulthood.
No wonder when he was in the free auction house, Xiao Hua liked Queltan so much. He had the smell of land beasts. The interstellar plants liked land beasts because the smell of land beasts could promote their rapid growth. If they broke branches or leaves, they could accelerate wound healing. The spirit of Xiaozuihua improved not because she drank drinks, but because she stayed with Queltan all the time. From then on, the wound healed gradually.
