Interstellar Fairy Tale

Goodwill felt breathless, his vision began to distort, his memory began to be chaotic, the distant scenes buried in the deepest part of the soul spewed out from the past, bright red blood, holding that gradually cold hand, ran through one after another tightly. The door was closed, and the metal floor beneath their feet exuded an indifferent luster. Every step they took, they left a dark red footprint with spilled blood. The laser gun was no longer usable. The laser knife was the only thing that could help them escape the death scythe. Guarantee, soon, the door to the rescue capsule is in front of you, goodwill clenched his wife's hand, and they are about to leave here...

The chaotic memory began to erode his sanity. Goodwill firmly clasped the smooth leather surface of the sofa with both hands, leaving a few deep imprints until a footstep came into his mind, like the sound of a distant battleship starting, sending him out of the chaotic darkness. Waking up in the middle of the night, cold sweat slid down the corners of his eyes, and his pale face seemed to have just passed the baptism of death.

The silver-haired young monarch walked into the room and sat across from him. The lieutenant general who received him stood behind the silver-haired monarch with a subtle expression on his face.

"Fantasy?"

Goodwill's voice was a little hoarse. Looking at the teacup he took a sip, the sweet fragrance in his mouth reminded him what had just happened. He was no stranger to this kind of anesthetic, which was listed as dangerous by the empire. Six hundred and seventy-eighth Huo Xing, about 20% of the merchant ships will smuggle this kind of thing in private. Many people are looking for the instant pleasure and elation, which is enough to make the merchants who are profiteering take risks. After all, most of the empire's border fleet It is a system composed of clone soldiers. As long as you use your brains, there is a great chance to evade these harsh inspections. Goodwill is familiar with the mystery, but he never expected that one day this kind of thing would be used on himself. It is estimated that most people will not believe that the emperor of the Golden Empire will have such a thing in his hands.

Soran Edrich leaned against the sofa in a relaxed posture, his long legs wrapped in military trousers stood up, his left leg was folded over his right, and his hands were clasped on his legs. Perhaps, he should kill him immediately. This man, although I just learned something very interesting from him.

Goodwill did not want to come here as he wished, not to give his life.

Standing up, the Governor, who had regained his composure, did not ask the reason for using anesthesia on himself, nor did he investigate what he said in the confusion. Whether it's the young emperor's whim or other purposes, it's not what he needs to pay attention to at the moment, what he wants, now, only this young man can do it!

"Allow me to greet you, His Majesty Emperor Solan II!"

"I accept your compliments, Your Excellency."

Soran Edrich just raised his eyebrows slightly, and then changed his sitting posture slightly. This posture has already relieved Goodwill. At least, he no longer treats him in a dispensable attitude, enough. .

"Then, Your Excellency the Governor, why did you come to Namu?"

"Please forgive me, if your majesty allows me, I hope that your majesty can give up attacking the six hundred and seventy-eighth Huxing while in power. Of course, Huoxing will pay enough price..."

"presumptuous!"

Lieutenant General Mayer's scolding interrupted Goodwill's words, Soran Edrich raised his hand, and under Mayer's incredible gaze, he said with interest: "Enough price?"

"Yes."

Goodwill took out a dark red velvet box from his pocket, half the size of an adult's palm, placed it on the table, spread his hands, and opened the lid of the velvet box at Soran Edrich's direction, a crystal clear piece of velvet box. The power stone lay quietly in it, exuding a seductive luster.

"As you can see, I'm a businessman, a true businessman." Goodwill smiled faintly and pushed the energy stone in front of Soran Edrich, "On the six hundred and seventy-eighth star, the survivors They are all greedy and unscrupulous guys like me. We can sell our souls for money, and we can use this dirty thing to the maximum, so I know, you need this now, right?"

"I can kill you as well. Occupy Juxing, these are easy to get."

"Of course. However, Your Majesty, please believe that the governor of Huo Xing can be anyone, but only me, I will sincerely dedicate my sincerity to you. Because before I became a businessman, I used to be a soldier."

Yes, the Imperial Fleet needs power stones, a large amount, which can support the warships to do long-distance space jumps and use large-scale laser cannons and particle cannons, which are indispensable for Soran Edrich to achieve hegemony. The first time the Imperial Fleet attacked the Muse galaxy, it was news that Novi brought back the energy stone. The entire planet was covered with untapped energy, and Soran Edrich had to be moved. A series of stupid actions and distrust of Marshal Novi and others. At the same time, in order to stabilize the throne, Soran Edrich temporarily stopped the pace of foreign expeditions. First, he faced the frontier planets and the sixth in the empire's territory for a long time. One hundred and seventy-eighth, the rebellion on the frontier gave Soran Edrich plenty of excuses to purge the conspirators who were watching the imperial power, but the defeat of the six hundred and seventy-eighth conspiracy made the young emperor brooding. If conditions permit, Soran Edrich will launch the second and third conquest of the planet, until the planet is included in the empire's territory, completely.

The Star Fleet has been completely wiped out, so what if there are anti-aircraft guns? Sooner or later it will be broken.

However, it also depends on whether Soran Edrich can really suppress the noble forces such as Count Reichart. Yes, these great nobles are supporters of imperial power, but once the controllers of imperial power try to violate their interests, these Guys will also become serpents poking out letters.

This power stone is very beautiful. At least in the power stone mining areas known to Soran Edrich, this kind of ore has never been produced, but it is similar to the one that Novi once brought back.

"Your Excellency the Governor, you are indeed a successful businessman." Soran Edrich rested his chin with one hand on the arm of the sofa, "However, you are not honest."

"Your Majesty, businessmen are the most honest liars."

The most honest liar?

Soran Edrich laughed suddenly, and Lieutenant General Mayer looked at Goodwill almost in amazement. Few people can make His Majesty smile so happily.

"Then, honest liar, tell your true purpose. Stop trying to hide it, my patience is limited."

"Your Majesty, this kind of power stone may only be mined by the empire on planets within its territory, but my merchant ships can be collected in the entire universe. Similarly, the data of planets with such power stones can also be unreserved. To you, I only need your mercy to allow the six hundred and seventy-eighth star to maintain its current state. When necessary, provide some appropriate protection for the star."

Remaining an independent regime, but hoping for protection from the Imperial fleet? Indeed, it is very much like a condition that a greedy businessman would make.

Soran Eddrich is pretty sure Goodwill isn't telling the truth, but his reasons are strong enough. This made him find it very interesting, inadvertently looked at a half-closed door in the room, and slightly hooked the corner of his mouth.

"You don't mind the empire that destroyed the entire fleet of Huo Xing before?"

"Your Majesty, killing people with a knife and excluding dissidents is not only applicable to imperial power. Corrupted blood and bloated forces always need to be wiped out in a timely manner, so that the new flesh and blood can grow healthily, are you right?"

Eliminate dissidents and kill with a knife?

Soran Edrich was stunned for a moment, then slowly put away his smile, this man...

Goodwill didn't care about the cold breath around Soran Edrich's body, and lifted the tea cup comfortably, as if he had forgotten that the cup of tea that was replaced before had been anesthetized, "If you still have concerns, I can The most important treasures are delivered to you until you are sure that I am an honest businessman."

"Oh?"

"So, baby, come out and don't hide."

Goodwill turned his head and looked accurately at the door that was pushed open. Shang Ping, who had changed his shirt and trousers, was standing behind the door. He heard this conversation from beginning to end until Goodwill put forward the final conditions. Anger and unbelief began to fill all his emotions. Sadly, such anger made him realize that from the moment he saw Goodwill, he completely regarded this man as his father. This kind of blood recognition, It seems so ridiculous now.

"Baby, your face is really bad."

Goodwill smiled and pulled Shang Ping to his side, gently brushed Shang Ping's forehead, and brushed the corners of Shang Ping's red and swollen lips. The brown eyes were as gentle as ever, but it only made Shang Ping feel cold.

"why…"

Shang Ping asked in a low voice, he couldn't help thinking of the blue fleet that was destroyed. Those heroic warriors fought to the last moment and vowed to defend their planet to the death! Now, all this, in the words of these two people, is just a means of fighting for power? Just a substitute to show its own value? Is this what his father always wanted him to understand, different from what was taught at Madoff Military Academy?

Is this how heroic warriors are used as a talking point?

Soran Edrich doesn't seem to intend to participate in the conversation between Shang Ping's father and son. However, he is relatively satisfied with the conditions proposed by Goodwill for the time being. Before leaving the room, he took the power stone to show that he could. After agreeing to Goodwill's request, he left the room to the father and son who needed to "communicate" well.

However, Soran Edrich is not worried about whether Shang Ping will obey Goodwill. In any case, he intends to bring the golden wagtail back to Ivan Summer Palace. The exchange proposed by Goodwill is just a Just attached.

In the room, only Shang Ping and Goodwill were left. Shang Ping's questioning voice was faintly trembling, and Goodwill still smiled. After Shang Ping brushed his hand away, he slowly said, "Child, do you know? , once, you will have a younger sister, she will be as beautiful as you, with black hair, brown eyes, fair skin..."

The goodwill seems to be caught in the memory, and the voice flows slowly.

"...I thought more than once that when she was sixteen, prepare her the most beautiful pearl white dress that symbolizes purity and immaculateness, the best birthday present, and she will be the most charming girl at the ball... However, this Everything is destroyed like a broken pearl."

Shang Ping looked at Goodwill in surprise, but couldn't say a word.

"...Six months long, yet so short, enough to destroy a family and destroy a person's faith. Child, I love you and your mother, your unborn sister, the difference is that you and I are still alive , and they are already dead."

The voice of Goodwill gradually became calm, like a pool of stagnant water.

"Kid, Mars' Canon Fortress can create artificial black holes, you know?"

Shang Ping nodded.

"Then do you know the price paid for creating and testing the power of this artificial black hole?"

Shang Ping told himself that he couldn't listen any more, but his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Three Mars cosmic fleets, formed into a system of destruction! We thought that we just encountered an attack from an alien galaxy, and an order sent from the mother planet required all fleet personnel to stay where they were and not to retreat! We didn't even have a chance to escape. The commander-in-chief of the space fleet at that time was not yet David South, but his most powerful competitor, together with most of his military forces, was destroyed in that artificially created alien attack event! "

"Look, the truth of the matter is like this. In order to achieve the goal, nearly a million people have been buried!"

"Baby, do you know how I survived after I took your mother's body and escaped from that **** in a rescue capsule?"

"Children, respect heroes, Shangdu's fleet surrounds their own planet, they are worthy of praise! However, Mars betrayed his warriors, his children, so he must pay the price!"

"Shang Ping, my child, you should grow up, Soran Edrich, he will be your best teacher..."

Goodwill's voice was like candy dyed with sweet poison, and Shang Ping involuntarily backed away until he left that room and left his father.

Pushing open the guard at the door, Shang Ping ran across the corridor covered with brick red carpet until the end of the corridor, looking at the door decorated with gold patterns, and slumped down.
