Luo Binhan almost didn't understand what Yaleriga was referring to. After pondering for a while, he remembered the cave paintings of the savages.
"The cave collapsed?" he said in shock.
"Earthquake." Yaleriga said lightly, "The captain created a cross-stellar spiritual field coincidence. Use the spiritual field effect accumulated in this mountain range to control the environment there. This will make the geological stability of both sides worse. There was some impact.”
Only then did Luo Binhan think of the content of his previous chat with Ma Lin. Apart from the rhetorical modifications, he did remember that Marin mentioned earthquakes and so on. Although he lacked familiarity and identification with the savage culture, the damage to this thousand-year-old cultural relic still made him instinctively feel regretful.
"Our young master really can't do this," he complained to Yaleriga while walking on the mountain road, "What's wrong with his physique? He will cause trouble wherever he goes? Forget about the territory of the golden-haired man in Mencheng. My hometown is such a simple and unpretentious place that it almost served as a virus testing ground for interstellar terrorists. Now, a thousand-year-old mural has been put up. I said you can't be like this when you are a pirate. If you want money, you need money. Why dig the graves of people's ancestors? "
Yaleriga ignored his nonsense. Luo Binhan didn't expect this to defeat the heinous second leader of the interstellar pirates. He was just looking for some movement and entertainment for himself, but this attempt quickly lost its fun after reaching the waist of the peak.
He saw that the valley was covered with scars, and the forest belts were crisscrossing each other, splitting the green length, forming huge cracks like rift valleys in the distance. The angle made Luo Binhan feel that it looked like the Great Rift Valley in the Tangchi Mountains.
There seemed to be something disturbing hidden behind this idea, so Luo Binhan did not put it into words and just continued to talk to Ya Lailiga. They came to the cave that Luo Binhan had visited once. The savages responsible for guarding the cave have disappeared, and the entrance to the cave is covered with piles of rocks, making it airtight. The blockage obviously had artificial traces, and was not simply caused by cave collapse.
Yaleriga put her hand on the sealed stone pile. Luo Binhan thought she would chant some spell to burn the pile of stones, but in the end she simply moved the stones away.
Luo Binhan quickly stepped forward and said, "I'll come, I'll come."
Yaleriga let him go. Luo Binhan knew that revenge would come sooner or later, so he quickly showed his loyalty to his mate. He cleared a gap at the entrance of the cave that was large enough for people to enter and exit, and heard Yaleriga behind him say: "Your hand is indeed healed."
"Yes, it's intact."
Luo Binhan flicked his wrist and complained a little: "I don't even know what the principle is. Does this knife really follow the rules?"
"This knife is called Deborah's No Regrets."
"Whose no regrets?"
"The founder of the Doomsday Temple, a gospel tribe."
Luo Binhan was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he heard Yaleriga mention her own people, and the "Doomsday Temple" was somewhat familiar to him. He was not convinced that Soma Shastri had mentioned this word before his death.
He immediately took the opportunity to ask: "Do you know this Evangelist? Is she your ancestor?"
"I'll tell you next time." Yaleriga said.
"What's the next time?"
"After I leave here, I will explain everything that happened at the Temple of Doom—the third peak of Princess Mountain, where I met the captain."
Yaleriga ignored Luo Binhan's open mouth and continued: "The first time I saw him, he lost consciousness and was locked in a dungeon by my ex-boyfriend. They were studying the spiritual field effect on him."
"What the hell?" Luo Binhan said loudly, "Who put him in jail?!"
"My ex-boyfriend." Yaleriga repeated clearly.
This is really a bombshell for Luo Binhan. He felt that he simply couldn't bear it until the Silence set off and ran away, and he had to figure out the conflict between Jing Huang and Yaleriga's ex-boyfriend now. If that wasn't the first encounter between Yalayliga and Jinghuang, he would have suspected that Jinghuang's imprisonment was caused by Yalayliga.
"Can I ask what happened to your predecessor?" he asked cautiously.
"We broke up." Yaleriga replied simply.
She refused to reveal any more details and walked straight into the depths of the cave. Luo Binhan chased after her and accidentally kicked the rocks off the ground, making a loud bang in the corner. He was startled, and then he began to notice the environment of the cave.
Just like Yaleriga told him, most of the cave wall with the murals has peeled off, and the piles of stones used as "documents" are scattered all over the ground. They once slowly bonded into a strong and distinct whole over the long years, but now they are fragmented again, so chaotic that it is difficult to distinguish each other.
They crossed over the collapsing history and reached the deepest part of the cave. That was the arrival of the "God of Ashes" and the "God of Night". It is depicted in the right position. Now that most of the murals have been destroyed, only this "source of history" still remains on the wall.
Yaleriga stood in front of the mural and stared at the scene above for a long time. Luo Binhan once thought she was looking at the man with sharp horns and wings, but then he realized that the focus of her gaze was actually on the side, the old man-like "God of Night".
"Take out your dagger." She said to Luo Binhan.
Luo Binhan complied. Next, Yaleriga asked him to carve the head of the "God of Night" with the tip of a knife and write the number "six" in the language of his hometown.
"What do you mean?" Luo Binhan asked, grabbing the handle of the knife. After all, he still cherishes the cultural relics of the savages a little bit, and he is too embarrassed to add insult to injury again.
"Mark your enemy." Yaleriga said, "He is the leader of the Dwarf Stars. You must remember his appearance and be prepared to face him."
Luo Binhan stared at the old man in black on the wall. The portrait itself was very abstract, and so long ago that it was difficult to discern the details. But after Yaleriga's reminder, he finally realized that the old man's clothes were very similar to the girl in black, Asabam, who had attacked him.
Without hesitation, he dropped the tip of the knife and plunged it into the rock surface. First, he hit the old man's head a little harder, and then made a horizontal line between his neck. The decisiveness without thinking surprised even him, so he paused in the middle of writing.
"What does this number mean?" he asked. "Is it because he is being praised for being six?"
"The sixth trial."
Luo Binhan wanted to ask again, but suddenly he seemed to understand something. An electric current coursed through his head, stirring up many details that he had never connected with in the past. The "God of the Night" brought mud leaves, which was the beginning of the history of the savages; Asabam's ship contained bugs and the transmitter of the Butterfly Mother; Jing Huang owned the Silence, and also knew a guest belonging to the dwarf star. The Gloom.
He looked at Yaleriga: "Is this a trap he set for the young master?"
"one of them."
"You mean there is something else?"
"He lived a long time, longer than most planets, which gave him ample opportunity to control many things. And we know very little about him, including his real name - the Dwarflanders call him the 'Grand Master' .”
This is another new thing, Luo Binhan thought, he had never heard Yaleriga admit that she "knows very little" about anything before.
"Okay," he said, "Anyway, this is an old zombie, but what does he have to do with the young master? Just because we robbed his ship?"
"We didn't." Yaleriga objected. "He gave the ship to the captain. There was an agreement between them."
"What's the agreement? Let the young master clean up bugs everywhere?"
"Twelve trials." Yaleriga said, "After completing the twelve feats required by the Grand Master, they will stop all activities within the alliance. During this period, he cannot return to his homeland, nor can he ask any rational questions. The forces on both sides reveal their agreement. If he wins, the 'Grand Master' must surrender to him."
"And what if he loses?"
"He must admit that the Grand Master was right."
Luo Binhan didn't understand what that meant, and Yaleriga refused to explain it more clearly, or maybe she felt that it couldn't be explained to Luo Binhan.
"You will see it yourself." She just announced to Luo Binhan.
In fact, Luo Binhan didn't really care. He picked up the knife and carved a deep scratch on the "God of Night"'s body. A mark left to the enemy, he thought it should be something deeply visible.
"The sixth time." He stared at the Chinese characters he had carved, "That's why it's only halfway over."
"We still have a lot of time." Yaleriga said.
That was the end of their work in the cave. Before leaving, Yaleriga briefly explained her next plan to him: She had previously sent a rescue signal to the Old Galaxy Front. If this place is lucky, emergency lifeguards from the Alliance will come to check within a few decades. Help them restore civilization. All the debris she had asked Luo Binhan to collect previously would provide a reference for the arriving lifeguards to estimate the type and development stage of this civilization. And the wild people will also be able to use those seeds - after the spiritual field effect of the mountains was used by Jing Huang, this area is probably no longer enough to support the prosperous growth of mud leaves. The wild people will soon face the subversion of agriculture, and without the mud leaves, the prophets will also return to normal.
Luo Binhan was a little confused. He never thought that after the crisis of ten thousand insects was resolved, he would still have to face the aftermath.
"Are you saying that this place will become the same as the opposite side?" he asked, "Is this the result of our intervention, or is it going to happen no matter what? Is this also the result of the prophecy? Or is it the same historical correctness you are talking about? Everything Are they all destined? Or is this the last destiny before freedom?"
Yaleriga patted his head.
"You have a perm," she said. "You should go out to cool off."
Luo Binhan also feels that the current speed of the brain is not suitable for him. He turned unsteadily and walked towards the entrance of the cave, but before going out he remembered something else.
"By the way," he turned to Yaleriga and asked, "Who is that one with the horns? It's the 'God of Ashes' next to the old zombie."
Yaleriga's eyebrows frowned slightly. This question seemed to trouble her.
"I don't know," she said. "I don't have any recollection of him. Maybe he comes from somewhere further away."
"Do you think he is also our enemy?"
"That's not necessarily the case. He is not a member of the Dwarf Stars, but he once appeared in the Prophet's dream, and there is another name used to describe him."
Yaleriga's tail swayed slightly.
"The Red King," she read, "that's what they call him."
