I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

The silent communication between the two did not attract the attention of others. The closer they got to the depths of the mine, the more Qi Yan felt an indescribable feeling.

Suddenly, several small balls of light like fireflies appeared in the air, flashing golden light and gathering around the Ogura and Huo Linyuan.

Qi Yan stretched out his small tentacles, circled one and held it in front of his eyes. The small ball of light looked like a glass ball on the outside, but it was sparkling with glittering light inside, like blooming fireworks, which was very beautiful.

He held the small ball of light in front of Huo Linyuan and asked silently.

"Like?" Huo Linyuan's tone was somewhat smiling.

Qi Yan thought about it for a while, and nodded his little tentacles up and down. He thought it was quite beautiful.

At this time, Cardillo and Wen Yi had already distanced themselves from them. Huo Linyuan took out a storage space from the Xiaocang and collected all the small light balls around them.

Then he spread out his palm and handed it to Qi Yan: "This thing is called Firefly, a kind of crystal stone commonly found in the mines of Sand Star. You can use it to practice controlling your mental power."

Fireflies are the product of sand crystals being squeezed by a strong magnetic field. Because of their beautiful appearance and their ability to "flee" everywhere under the influence of spiritual energy, they are often used to make children's toys.

In addition, this kind of crystal is also used in the manufacture of mental power measuring instruments.

Practice controlling mental power? How to use it? Qi Yan circled the space ball from Huo Linyuan's hand, and then held it in front of him as before.

Huo Linyuan took the space ball and put it back into the Xiaocang, pinching the little tentacle and saying, "I'll teach you when I get back."

At this time, Cardillo's voice came from the front: "It's here. The geological layer in this place contains trace amounts of magnetic waves, but when we dug to the lower layer, we couldn't dig any further."

Qi Yan and Huo Linyuan walked over and found a square space at the end of the mine tunnel.

Opposite the exit is a pure black stone wall with a metallic luster, on which traces of excavation can be vaguely seen.

Qi Yan moved closer. For some reason, he felt his head swelling as soon as he walked in here. This feeling was very similar to the first time he controlled his mental power.

Qi Yan was about to tell Huo Linyuan about this, but he suddenly felt a violent force. Qi Yan was very familiar with this force, as he had just been oppressed by it not long ago.

Qi Yan knew what had happened almost instantly. He turned around and went back to Huo Linyuan. At this time, dark red appeared in Huo Linyuan's eyes again.

Qi Yan controlled his mental power and tried to open the protective shield, but Huo Linyuan pressed the lid with his hand. He anxiously touched the place covered by his palm with the eggshell.

Huo Linyuan touched the eggshell through the protective shield as usual and said softly, "Don't worry."

After he finished speaking, Qi Yan felt that the Ogura was pushed away by an unknown force. When he tried to get closer again, the air seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier.

Qi Yan wanted to open the protective shield, but found that he could no longer control the Kokura. Huo Linyuan, who was only two meters away from him at this time, seemed to be separated into two worlds by the air and became out of reach.

Wen Yi also reacted immediately. He instantly pinned Cardillo's hands against the stone wall and asked in a cold tone, "Who sent you here?"

"Cardillo, the son of Dika Xiu, was expelled to Planet M with his father by the Dika family. Now he is the leader of the Mantali people." Huo Linyuan looked at Cardillo with a cold tone, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Cardillo opened his eyes wide, his look full of disbelief. Even the Mantalis who lived with him day and night didn't know about his relationship with the Dika family. Even he himself almost forgot that this ugly surname had ever been given to him.

Huo Linyuan waved at Wen Yi, signaling him to release his grip, and then said to Cardillo: "M Star Lordship, I want this place to be the defense line of Andromeda in three years, can you do it?"

Wen Yi loosened his hand, but Cardillo stood there motionless. Huo Linyuan's words had such a huge impact on him that it was like a thunder exploded in his mind and he was unable to think for a while.

"Tell me, can you do it?" Huo Linyuan's tone became heavier. His words seemed to have magic, inexplicably inspiring people and making them feel an urge to believe.

Cardillo suddenly came to his senses. He knelt on one knee, gave Huo Linyuan the most solemn warrior salute, and said in a resounding voice, "Yes!"

This represents submission and absolute loyalty. At this moment, Cardillo's heart felt like there was a raging fire, burning his blood and making it boil. He had never been so grateful for his choice as he was now.

"Very good." After saying this, Huo Linyuan turned around and walked out impatiently. His steps were very fast, and if you looked closely, they seemed a little messy.

Qi Yan wanted to chase after him, but since he couldn't control the Kokura, he could only stand there and watch Huo Linyuan's back getting farther and farther away.

In the past, even when he was suffering, Huo Linyuan would never forget to comfort Qi Yan, but this time he simply abandoned Qi Yan and left alone. Qi Yan felt a little sad, but more worried.

He understood why Huo Linyuan left alone, just as he understood why the figure standing by the porthole was so lonely at that time. But it was precisely because of this understanding that he felt lost and sad.

"Don't worry, there's something unusual about this place. The marshal has activated the shielding field, so nothing will happen." Wen Yi's voice was a little awkward. It was the first time he tried to say such comforting words, and the object of comfort was an egg.

"The Marshal, he..." Wen Yi's words made Cardillo feel a little confused, but then he remembered the rumor on Starnet.

Rumor has it that Huo Linyuan's mental strength was severely damaged and he could lose his mind and go crazy at any time. Cardillo had never believed this news.

The conflict between the royal family and the Huo family, or the conflict between the royal family and the 12th Legion, is well known to the entire galaxy. In recent years, the royal family's suppression of the military has made many people dissatisfied. It is not surprising that they secretly fabricate rumors in order to restore their reputation.

Although the two sides have not officially broken up yet, Cardillo knows that it will happen sooner or later.

However, now Cardillo is a little shaken, maybe the rumors are not completely rumors.

As if sensing what he was thinking, Wen Yi turned around and looked at Cardillo sternly:

"I hope the Marshal is not mistaken about you." He paused, then threw something similar to a communicator to Cardillo, "I am Wen Yi, guard this place well, and contact me if you have any questions."

After saying that, Wen Yi took the Xiaocang and left the mine.

Cardillo looked at his back for a long time before coming back to his senses. He saluted in the direction of the exit and said firmly, "Yes!"

What happened today made Cardillo feel like he was dreaming. Just a day ago, he was still undecided about whether to fight to the death. He never expected that the turnaround would come so quickly.

He looked back at the mine. Judging from the reactions of Huo Linyuan and Wen Yi, the liquid gold content here might have reached a level that would require the military to take action.
