I can't cure this patient! [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 60 The Imperial Marshal's Little Slave
Early in the morning of the second day of the banquet, the emperor came to Odrose House in person.
After seeing his face clearly, the butler was taken aback for a moment before hurriedly saluting.
Why did the emperor suddenly appear here?There are no guards around!You must know that since His Royal Highness the Prince built the mansion, the emperor has never been here.
The emperor got off the floating ship and waved his hand to tell him not to be too polite: "Is the prince at home?"
The butler said: "Yes, I am, I will contact His Royal Highness now."
The emperor stopped him: "You don't need to inform the prince in advance, where is he now? I'll go find him myself."
The butler thought for a while and replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness just finished breakfast 10 minutes ago, and he should be in the study or the mecha training ground now... I will take you to find it now, Your Majesty?"
The emperor nodded, "Don't worry, I just came to see him."
The two walked slowly on the path.
On the way, the emperor's eyes kept sliding left and right in the courtyard, observing every detail here.
He has never been here before, every inch of flowers and plants are strange to him.
Ever since he drove the eldest son out of the palace, except for military affairs, he hardly communicated with Odrose, let alone visited him. In the past three years, he never I know what my eldest son's family looks like.
Before coming here, he originally thought that according to Odrose’s character, the courtyard should be arranged in a very cold and boring way, but to his surprise, the layout of this side of the courtyard can be called careful,
There are many trees and flowers planted in the courtyard, and the flowering period is almost over now, and the flowering branches that have just begun to show signs of sluggishness, but are not obvious, embellish the entire courtyard softly.
Although he had never been here before, the emperor felt a vague sense of familiarity when he looked at these flowers and plants.
He searched his memory carefully, and finally remembered that all these kinds of flowers and plants were planted in the palace garden.
...So it was planned after the imperial palace.
Lowering his eyes, the emperor was taken aback for a moment, and then walked forward naturally.
Turning a corner, the corner of his eyes swept across a lavender garden, and he stopped suddenly.
It was a garden formed by irises, not very big, and compared to other gardens in the courtyard, it looked much smaller and more delicate.
Although this garden is very small, in fact, the flowers planted in it are much more precious than those flowers.
It is an improved and preferred type of iris flower. The flowers are relatively small, and the color is slightly lighter than this species. There are beautiful lines on the drawing board. The output is very small. Currently, it is only a small amount in a plant breeding research institute. Produced, so the price is quite expensive.
Empress Sophie loved irises all her life, especially this improved iris. Up to now, the palace still regularly purchases this kind of flowers from the research institute every year, just like the queen is still there, and let them bloom enthusiastically in the garden all year round.
He didn't expect... to see this kind of flower here in Odrose.
——It turned out that he was not the only one who remembered.
Noticing his pause, the steward turned to him and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"
Only then did the emperor come back to his senses, he looked away from the irises, and asked with some difficulty: "When did the irises start to be planted?"
The steward replied truthfully: "When the prince came here, Your Majesty."
The emperor closed his eyes, took one last look at the crowded iris bushes, and said, "Let's go."
His son, may not have learned to express closeness, but memory does not lie.
In his definition of Odrose as a cold and heartless monster, the child may be remembering in his own way people and things that he does not want to forget.
After looking for the study and the living room, the emperor finally found his eldest son in the mecha training ground.
Prince Odrose originally owned the hardest private training ground in the entire empire, but now, this training ground has changed beyond recognition, making it impossible to recognize its original appearance.
The walls are full of various dents caused by violent impacts, and there are occasional wounds that are not known how to make them. Looking at these terrifying wounds, the emperor paused, and glanced to the side, and he saw the place. The mecha on the side was also devastated, and even its limbs were crooked.
That is an advanced mecha...
Thinking of Odrose's physical examination and assessment report, the emperor couldn't help but frowned insignificantly.
It seems that the strength of the existing mechs can no longer meet Odrose's training needs.
Odrose stood quietly beside the mecha, not knowing what he was thinking, with his head slightly lowered, his long golden hair hanging a little messily on his forehead and cheeks, covering some expressions on his face.
When the emperor approached, he turned his head slightly, his blue eyes as if broken ice were filled with extreme calm indifference, and he asked his father a hello: "Your Majesty, do you have any orders for your visit?" ?”
Facing his son's question, the emperor was silent for a few seconds, and finally moved his lips and said slowly, "I... I just came to see you."
It seems that it is because he seldom speaks this kind of caring words to his son, and he is not used to it. His tone is very blunt, not like caring, but like a boss asking fiercely about the work of his subordinates.
Odrose didn't care about these minutiae and tone problems—or he was used to the emperor's attitude. He bowed and said, "Everything is well, Your Majesty."
The emperor was still a little worried, so he remained silent for a while, as if he was trying to organize his words, and asked word by word: "I heard that when you were rescued, you were seriously injured in the mental domain, Are you sure it's all right?"
From a certain point of view, the mental domain can be said to be an extremely fragile part. Once it is injured, it is very difficult not to leave sequelae.
Even though the test results from the defense line showed that Odrose's mental domain not only showed no signs of damage, but also became tougher, the emperor was still worried.
Hearing the injury mentioned by the emperor, Odrose's body froze for a moment, and his hand hanging on the other side was clenched for an instant, and he let it go before holding it in front of him. Gently stroking the upper arm of the discarded standard mecha, "...When the mental power is upgraded, the scars in the spiritual domain are automatically repaired, so it is indeed all right."
"That's good." After bluntly caring for his estranged elder son, the emperor really couldn't think of anything else to talk about, and Odrose was just as stupid as he was. His character, no one asked him, he would not take the initiative to speak at all, so the atmosphere fell into a stagnation for a while.
After they were silent for half a minute, the emperor suddenly said, "Come on, Odrose, let's fight."
As he spoke, he took out his mecha from the space button.
Odrose: "Are you serious, Your Majesty?"
Emperor: "Yes, you should have spare mechas in your training room, right?"
Odrose nodded, flipped on a switch, and a storage box popped up on the wall of the training ground where there were almost no flat places, and there were three buttons for spare mechs inside.
Odrose took one at random from the inside.
In the mecha training ground that has suffered a lot, the two had a brief battle,
This duel undoubtedly ended in the failure of the emperor. Since Odrosey became the marshal and took over the affairs of the army, he has not been on the battlefield for a long time. Although he also has regular training, but for a long time Life away from the battlefield still weakened the bloody part of his attack.
As early as a few years ago, he already had a premonition that he might have a hard time defeating Odrose in mecha battle.
What's more, Odrose's mental power had evolved not long ago.
Regarding his father, Odrose still kept his strength. Although the emperor lost, he was not as embarrassed as Arvid was when he could only climb out of the mecha. Get off the armor.
Panting slightly, the emperor wiped off the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, looked at his son who was breathing in the same way, and said sincerely: "You have grown up completely."
For this sudden exclamation, Odrose was obviously not used to it. He paused and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."
The emperor shook his head, wanting to say that he didn't mean that, but because of his lack of communication skills, he couldn't find a suitable wording for a while, so after a moment of silence, he forcibly started another topic.
"By the way." He said, "Where's your slave?"
It didn't seem to be his illusion. After he said this sentence, Odrose seemed to be touched by the reverse scale, his body collapsed instantly, and his eyes sank.
The atmosphere in the training room suddenly condensed, and the aura on Odrose's body radiated in an instant without restraint. It was a taste like a cold blade, which made people feel an irresistible chill from their backs. Well, even the emperor who stood at the top of the empire couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he suddenly felt this kind of power, and he felt some hostility.
"Don't be nervous," the emperor was a little embarrassed, controlling his urge to retaliate against his unrestrained son, realizing that maybe his previous attitude made Odrose a little defensive against him, and explained with great effort: "I didn't mean to hurt him... I just want to meet that kid. I heard he has black hair?"
He already regretted his provocative speech that day, and he planned to do his best to promote the abolition of slavery. If he could not completely abolish it, at least he would at least get rid of the law that "slaves cannot marry nobles" Odrose was able to marry his beloved before he succeeded to the throne.
——This is probably the only compensation he can give Odrose.
His son has now grown into a stronger and more reliable existence than him, and the only thing he can do is to give him some minor help in politics.
However, upon hearing his explanation, Odrose did not relax at all, and even pursed his lips a little deeper, and the atmosphere in the training room did not ease up in the slightest.
His eldest son lowered his eyes, and it took a long time to meet his gaze: "...Sorry, I can't take you to see him."
Looking at Odrose's eyes that seemed to contain deep pain and despair, the emperor suddenly shuddered.
He was very familiar with this look.
... During the period after Sophie's death, when he looked in the mirror every day, he saw himself in the mirror with this kind of eyes, exactly the same, not bad at all.
After a stiff silence for a long while, the emperor asked slowly: "Where is that slave? When you returned to the capital planet...didn't you bring him back?"
"No." Odrose paused for a while, his blond hair fell loosely on his cheeks, making him seem a little thinner, with a strange hollow expression, and said, "Father, I lost him."
……
After returning from the eldest son's mansion, the emperor has been in a trance.
He is absent-minded in everything he does, and even sprinkles water on himself when drinking water.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Do you need to call a doctor?" When the emperor lost his mind for the sixth time, the steward of the palace asked worriedly.
"It's okay." The emperor shook his head, he turned off the screen of his personal terminal, and gave up continuing to work in such a bad situation.
Leaning back on the back of the chair, the emperor lowered his head and thought quietly for a while, then raised his head and looked at the housekeeper who had followed him for many years with slightly cloudy eyes: "Tell me, am I a very bad person?" Father?"
The butler bowed and didn't answer the question directly. He just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, a person's life is constantly growing."
The emperor also smiled, but there was a trace of fatigue that could not be concealed in the smile.
He has an inescapable responsibility for Odrose's past and future.
If it hadn't been for Odrose's distrust of him and this father, and even doubled his defense against him, he would not have taken that slave to the border, and that slave...would never have been able to come back because of this.
And the source of everything, in the final analysis, is that he did not give his children enough sense of dependability.
It's his fault.
The first half of his life ended abruptly with the death of his wife, but at the beginning of the second half of his life, because of his own willfulness, his son lost what might be the most precious thing in his life.
……
After all the more detailed inspection items were completed, Odrose was finally declared to be completely healthy and normal, and he could move around with confidence.
He buttoned the last button on his collar and wanted to leave the institute, but Arvid who suddenly appeared stopped him.
"Brother." Arvid tugged at his sleeve mysteriously, "I need to discuss something with you."
"Huh?" Odrose made a questioning voice.
Arvid said, "Come with me."
So half an hour later, the two landed in a relatively deserted suburb on a hovercraft, and after a while of twists and turns, they finally arrived at an encrypted laboratory located underground.
Odrose looked around and asked, "Is this your laboratory?"
Although this laboratory is not big, it can be seen that the instruments and equipment inside are all top-notch, and each one is priceless, not much cheaper than a mecha.
Arvid proudly puffed out his chest: "That's right!"
Odrose: "No wonder you've been so poor."
Arvid: "..."
Doing research is the same as falling in love in the legend, it is indeed a very expensive thing, and Arvid, who is basically destitute now, feels deeply about this.
Coughing twice, Arvid emphasized: "These are not important, follow me here."
Arvid took him to sit on a laboratory table, with a serious face, "First of all, I want to confess and apologize to my brother."
Odrose: "Say."
Arvid whispered: "I stole a lot of your tissues to analyze your genes."
Odrose: "..." Because he is not a medical major, and he still trusts his brother, he never thought about conspiracy theories when doing various physical examinations.
Now it seems that this younger brother is more capable than he imagined, and can do so many bad things under his nose.
He seems to be looking around all the time recently, whether it's Arvid who is not so silly and sweet, or Su Duan who can drive a mecha to find him——
Unknowingly thinking of this again, Odrose's expression froze for a moment.
Feeling that the pressure in the air had increased again, Arvid thought he was angry, and immediately apologized in fright.
"..." Odrose paused, and restrained his momentum, "It's okay, finish your business."
Arvid instantly regained his spirits, "My brother's lack of emotion, I also feel it, right?"
Odrose nodded: "You are studying this?"
Of course, he is well aware of his excessive emotional indifference, but this disease does not affect his work, so he has not been very persistent in wanting to cure it.
"It's not worth it." Odrose commented rationally.
It is indeed a bit excessive to pay such a high price for his illness. The cost of equipment and equipment comes second, and the most important thing is the time and years that Arvid has wasted for this.
Although the treatment of researchers is also very good now, Arvid could have achieved higher achievements.
Arvid shook his head: "It's worth it, brother, do you still remember the night when we were in Aegean Luo and it rained?"
This is the second time I've heard Arvid mention that night. Even if Odrose is dull, he understands that this is not just a simple chat, and asks directly: "I don't know what happened that day... thing?"
"Actually that night, at the beginning, I wasn't trapped in the shallows, but was swept into deep water by the tide," Arvid said.
Odrose frowned: "You didn't mention this."
"Yes." Arvid leaned forward and got closer to his brother, and said softly, "Because that night, my brother's dragon took me back from the deep water area, but the next day When my brother came in the morning, he forgot all about it."
There was a trace of astonishment in Odrose's eyes, and after a pause for a few seconds, he said precisely: "I have no memory of this matter."
He searched his memory carefully, and he really didn't have any impression of what Arvid said.
Arvid said: "It's like this. My brother's illness seems to be related to the spiritual body. I later observed that my brother's dragon sometimes wandered alone. For example, I saw it when I slipped out of the palace late at night. Rolling in the irises, that kind of thing wouldn't happen when my brother was sober, would he?"
It was another matter that he had no impression of, and Odrose's expression became serious.
The lack of emotion is not a big problem, but the solitary dissociation of the mental body is a big hidden danger.
His mental energy is huge, if something unexpected happens during the uncontrolled period... it will not end well.
If he could have known the news earlier, he would never have assumed the position of Marshal of the Empire with such a big hidden danger.
Arvid spread his hands, "For someone who is as serious about work as my brother, if he knows that his mental body will sometimes lose control, he will definitely resign to be on the safe side, right?"
Odrose nodded honestly. According to his principles, he really would not allow such a risk.
Arvid continued: "But in fact, I have observed that my brother's mental body dissociation is only recreating the emotions that my brother cannot feel, and will not do any harmful actions. On the contrary, when dissociated, it Appears very...friendly."
Obviously, the word "kindness" has nothing to do with Odrose in a normal state.
Odrose paused before asking: "So you brought me here today, have you found a solution?"
"Yes." Only then did Arvid get down to business. He raised his hand and opened the refrigerator next to him, took out a row of reagents carried by a micro-freezing device, and handed them over: "After many analyzes, we have A drug that can repair brother's disease at the genetic level has been developed, and it has passed the stability test of the Imperial Gene Experimental Research Institute, and the safety confirmation is no problem."
Odrose stared at the row of light blue reagents for a few seconds before reaching out to pick them up and looking them over carefully.
"But it has a side effect that cannot be ignored." Arvid continued: "After using it, it may lead to the complete fusion of the spiritual body and the main body, that is to say, the disappearance of the spiritual body... Although it is better for my brother to not have a spiritual body now. It was stronger in the past, but the final decision-making power is still in your own hands, there are three medicines in it, you take them back, you can send them for a test, and take your time to consider."
Odrose lowered his eyes, and there was a glimmer of darkness in his eyes, as if he was sighing, but there was still no expression on his face.
After his brother left, Arvid, who had always been very comfortable before, suddenly let out a long sigh, and spread his whole body on the experimental table.
His dragon did not know when it had appeared, nestled at his feet, looking up at him with green eyes.
He kicked his dragon and asked, "If it just disappeared...you'd miss it, wouldn't you?"
The dragon rubbed against his leg.
……
Three days later, Odrose submitted an application for a one-year sabbatical to the military.
——Then abused his power very calmly, and gave himself permission.
The situation at the border was stable, and he was no longer needed to sit in town, so he decided to travel.
He once made an agreement with a person, and when the war was over, he would take that person on a trip to a planet.
Even though the person who made the agreement with him is no longer around, and the flowering period on that planet has just begun, which is different from the time they agreed upon, he decided to complete the agreement alone.
Ruiyoune, a planet that represents reunion, can only meet with her traveling partner once every 30 years.
In the past, Odrose felt that it was a bit unlucky, but now he envied it a little.
Even if you have to wait 30 years to see each other, there is always hope, and it is better than never seeing each other.
So while the citizens of the entire empire were waiting to warmly praise the marshal who had just returned from the border, the marshal himself had already boarded the long-distance starship and left the interstellar port of the capital star alone.
Turning on the autopilot mode, looking at the dark universe outside the observation window, Odrose took out a small black square box from the space button, slowly rubbing his fingertips on the rough box wall, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
If Su Duan was here, he would be able to recognize it at a glance. This box is the one that Odlo's spiritual body took him to dig out in the garden.
On the night before departure, the dragon dug the box out of the garden again, only this time, it presented it to Odrose.
His eyes lingered on the black box in his hand for a while, and then turned back to the dark universe outside the window. Odrose's eyes showed an indistinct daze.
In fact, the safety test of the medicine that Arvid gave him has all passed, but he has not chosen to take it until now.
It's not that he didn't want to cure the disease, but he found that before he drank the potion, those forgotten memories had already begun to come back.
He thought of the rainy late night that Arvid said, also thought of the black box full of gifts hidden in the garden, and the little bits and pieces that he had forgotten in the past ten years... those time stained with dust , They all lined up one by one and returned to his memory puzzle.
...Including those nights when his spirit body went to the small slave room and bullied people to wash their underwear non-stop.
At that time, he himself was too slow to realize his own feelings, but his frank mental body couldn't wait to make a move, and thinking about it made people feel delicate.
Thinking of the little slave crying and being bullied every night and pretending that nothing happened during the day, Odrose couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, but within a few seconds, the little smile in his eyes disappeared. It went out and turned back to dead silence again.
Because he quickly remembered that the little slave was gone, and all he could grab was an object like the box in his hand that still had a little bit of the little slave's breath left.
The starship continued to advance steadily, and on the third day, Odrose picked up all his lost memories; on the fourth day, he drank the potion Arvid had prepared for him.
The spiritual body seemed to feel something, and suddenly appeared in the starship, lowered its head towards him, and let out a low cry.
Odrose looked up at its ice-blue eyes that were exactly like his own, and saw a kind of almost relieved sadness in them.
Exactly the same as in his eyes.
——He now understands the emperor's mood. When his partner leaves, living alone becomes a tormenting thing.
In the face of starships that can already reach several light-years per hour, space travel is no longer long.
And the side effects of the drug soon began to show.
When he had advanced a third of the way, his dragon had lost the ability to materialize.
Halfway through the journey, that huge body began to become transparent.
When there is only a quarter of it left, the mental body is already as thin as a transparent creature, and it is almost undetectable with the naked eye if you don't look carefully.
Finally, when the starship landed on the land of Ruiyune, and the ship door opened to both sides, revealing a small piece of beautiful scenery, Odrose felt empty in his heart, and inexplicably full, his mental body was completely in harmony with his Melted into one, the form dissipated into the world.
And his pupils, at that moment, also erected their pupils, showing the shape of a beast.
Stepping out of the starship and stepping on the soft soil covered with petals, in front of his eyes was a beautiful picture of flowers and trees entangled like clouds, but Odrose was indifferent to this, and lowered his eyebrows indifferently.
What impresses him is never the stunning scenery, but the people who look forward to seeing the scenery together.
Now that the people are gone, the landscape has no meaning.
He turned on the map navigation on his personal terminal, planning to find a place that costs less to take a rest.
Since the agreement made with the little slave at that time was to live here for a period of time, it had to be fulfilled.
However, the moment he lowered his head, a somewhat violent wind suddenly blew, carrying a strong fragrance of flowers, brushing past his nose.
Odrose paused.
After the evolution of his mental power, his five senses also evolved, so he keenly smelled a strange sweetness and bitterness among these sweet and greasy fragrances of flowers.
That's not the smell of flowers.
In the next second, Odrose was in a trance, and the original pupils suddenly turned into normal human appearance.
And at the same time, there was also his spiritual body that should have dissipated.
However, after the spirit body appeared, he didn't even look at him at all. He raised his head and sniffed the air left and right, then suddenly ran away in one direction with flapping wings.
Looking at the back of his mental body, Odrose: "..."
After seeing his face clearly, the butler was taken aback for a moment before hurriedly saluting.
Why did the emperor suddenly appear here?There are no guards around!You must know that since His Royal Highness the Prince built the mansion, the emperor has never been here.
The emperor got off the floating ship and waved his hand to tell him not to be too polite: "Is the prince at home?"

The butler thought for a while and replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness just finished breakfast 10 minutes ago, and he should be in the study or the mecha training ground now... I will take you to find it now, Your Majesty?"
The emperor nodded, "Don't worry, I just came to see him."
The two walked slowly on the path.
On the way, the emperor's eyes kept sliding left and right in the courtyard, observing every detail here.
He has never been here before, every inch of flowers and plants are strange to him.
Ever since he drove the eldest son out of the palace, except for military affairs, he hardly communicated with Odrose, let alone visited him. In the past three years, he never I know what my eldest son's family looks like.

Odrose: "Are you serious, Your Majesty?"

For this sudden exclamation, Odrose was obviously not used to it. He paused and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."
The emperor shook his head, wanting to say that he didn't mean that, but because of his lack of communication skills, he couldn't find a suitable wording for a while, so after a moment of silence, he forcibly started another topic.
"By the way." He said, "Where's your slave?"
It didn't seem to be his illusion. After he said this sentence, Odrose seemed to be touched by the reverse scale, his body collapsed instantly, and his eyes sank.
The atmosphere in the training room suddenly condensed, and the aura on Odrose's body radiated in an instant without restraint. It was a taste like a cold blade, which made people feel an irresistible chill from their backs. Well, even the emperor who stood at the top of the empire couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he suddenly felt this kind of power, and he felt some hostility.
"Don't be nervous," the emperor was a little embarrassed, controlling his urge to retaliate against his unrestrained son, realizing that maybe his previous attitude made Odrose a little defensive against him, and explained with great effort: "I didn't mean to hurt him... I just want to meet that kid. I heard he has black hair?"
He already regretted his provocative speech that day, and he planned to do his best to promote the abolition of slavery. If he could not completely abolish it, at least he would at least get rid of the law that "slaves cannot marry nobles" Odrose was able to marry his beloved before he succeeded to the throne.
——This is probably the only compensation he can give Odrose.
His son has now grown into a stronger and more reliable existence than him, and the only thing he can do is to give him some minor help in politics.
However, upon hearing his explanation, Odrose did not relax at all, and even pursed his lips a little deeper, and the atmosphere in the training room did not ease up in the slightest.
His eldest son lowered his eyes, and it took a long time to meet his gaze: "...Sorry, I can't take you to see him."
Looking at Odrose's eyes that seemed to contain deep pain and despair, the emperor suddenly shuddered.
He was very familiar with this look.
... During the period after Sophie's death, when he looked in the mirror every day, he saw himself in the mirror with this kind of eyes, exactly the same, not bad at all.
After a stiff silence for a long while, the emperor asked slowly: "Where is that slave? When you returned to the capital planet...didn't you bring him back?"
"No." Odrose paused for a while, his blond hair fell loosely on his cheeks, making him seem a little thinner, with a strange hollow expression, and said, "Father, I lost him."
……
After returning from the eldest son's mansion, the emperor has been in a trance.
He is absent-minded in everything he does, and even sprinkles water on himself when drinking water.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Do you need to call a doctor?" When the emperor lost his mind for the sixth time, the steward of the palace asked worriedly.
"It's okay." The emperor shook his head, he turned off the screen of his personal terminal, and gave up continuing to work in such a bad situation.
Leaning back on the back of the chair, the emperor lowered his head and thought quietly for a while, then raised his head and looked at the housekeeper who had followed him for many years with slightly cloudy eyes: "Tell me, am I a very bad person?" Father?"
The butler bowed and didn't answer the question directly. He just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, a person's life is constantly growing."
The emperor also smiled, but there was a trace of fatigue that could not be concealed in the smile.
He has an inescapable responsibility for Odrose's past and future.
If it hadn't been for Odrose's distrust of him and this father, and even doubled his defense against him, he would not have taken that slave to the border, and that slave...would never have been able to come back because of this.
And the source of everything, in the final analysis, is that he did not give his children enough sense of dependability.
It's his fault.
The first half of his life ended abruptly with the death of his wife, but at the beginning of the second half of his life, because of his own willfulness, his son lost what might be the most precious thing in his life.
……
After all the more detailed inspection items were completed, Odrose was finally declared to be completely healthy and normal, and he could move around with confidence.
He buttoned the last button on his collar and wanted to leave the institute, but Arvid who suddenly appeared stopped him.
"Brother." Arvid tugged at his sleeve mysteriously, "I need to discuss something with you."
"Huh?" Odrose made a questioning voice.
Arvid said, "Come with me."
So half an hour later, the two landed in a relatively deserted suburb on a hovercraft, and after a while of twists and turns, they finally arrived at an encrypted laboratory located underground.
Odrose looked around and asked, "Is this your laboratory?"
Although this laboratory is not big, it can be seen that the instruments and equipment inside are all top-notch, and each one is priceless, not much cheaper than a mecha.
Arvid proudly puffed out his chest: "That's right!"
Odrose: "No wonder you've been so poor."
Arvid: "..."
Doing research is the same as falling in love in the legend, it is indeed a very expensive thing, and Arvid, who is basically destitute now, feels deeply about this.
Coughing twice, Arvid emphasized: "These are not important, follow me here."
Arvid took him to sit on a laboratory table, with a serious face, "First of all, I want to confess and apologize to my brother."
Odrose: "Say."
Arvid whispered: "I stole a lot of your tissues to analyze your genes."
Odrose: "..." Because he is not a medical major, and he still trusts his brother, he never thought about conspiracy theories when doing various physical examinations.
Now it seems that this younger brother is more capable than he imagined, and can do so many bad things under his nose.
He seems to be looking around all the time recently, whether it's Arvid who is not so silly and sweet, or Su Duan who can drive a mecha to find him——
Unknowingly thinking of this again, Odrose's expression froze for a moment.
Feeling that the pressure in the air had increased again, Arvid thought he was angry, and immediately apologized in fright.
"..." Odrose paused, and restrained his momentum, "It's okay, finish your business."
Arvid instantly regained his spirits, "My brother's lack of emotion, I also feel it, right?"
Odrose nodded: "You are studying this?"
Of course, he is well aware of his excessive emotional indifference, but this disease does not affect his work, so he has not been very persistent in wanting to cure it.
"It's not worth it." Odrose commented rationally.
It is indeed a bit excessive to pay such a high price for his illness. The cost of equipment and equipment comes second, and the most important thing is the time and years that Arvid has wasted for this.
Although the treatment of researchers is also very good now, Arvid could have achieved higher achievements.
Arvid shook his head: "It's worth it, brother, do you still remember the night when we were in Aegean Luo and it rained?"
This is the second time I've heard Arvid mention that night. Even if Odrose is dull, he understands that this is not just a simple chat, and asks directly: "I don't know what happened that day... thing?"
"Actually that night, at the beginning, I wasn't trapped in the shallows, but was swept into deep water by the tide," Arvid said.
Odrose frowned: "You didn't mention this."
"Yes." Arvid leaned forward and got closer to his brother, and said softly, "Because that night, my brother's dragon took me back from the deep water area, but the next day When my brother came in the morning, he forgot all about it."
There was a trace of astonishment in Odrose's eyes, and after a pause for a few seconds, he said precisely: "I have no memory of this matter."
He searched his memory carefully, and he really didn't have any impression of what Arvid said.
Arvid said: "It's like this. My brother's illness seems to be related to the spiritual body. I later observed that my brother's dragon sometimes wandered alone. For example, I saw it when I slipped out of the palace late at night. Rolling in the irises, that kind of thing wouldn't happen when my brother was sober, would he?"
It was another matter that he had no impression of, and Odrose's expression became serious.
The lack of emotion is not a big problem, but the solitary dissociation of the mental body is a big hidden danger.
His mental energy is huge, if something unexpected happens during the uncontrolled period... it will not end well.
If he could have known the news earlier, he would never have assumed the position of Marshal of the Empire with such a big hidden danger.
Arvid spread his hands, "For someone who is as serious about work as my brother, if he knows that his mental body will sometimes lose control, he will definitely resign to be on the safe side, right?"
Odrose nodded honestly. According to his principles, he really would not allow such a risk.
Arvid continued: "But in fact, I have observed that my brother's mental body dissociation is only recreating the emotions that my brother cannot feel, and will not do any harmful actions. On the contrary, when dissociated, it Appears very...friendly."
Obviously, the word "kindness" has nothing to do with Odrose in a normal state.
Odrose paused before asking: "So you brought me here today, have you found a solution?"
"Yes." Only then did Arvid get down to business. He raised his hand and opened the refrigerator next to him, took out a row of reagents carried by a micro-freezing device, and handed them over: "After many analyzes, we have A drug that can repair brother's disease at the genetic level has been developed, and it has passed the stability test of the Imperial Gene Experimental Research Institute, and the safety confirmation is no problem."
Odrose stared at the row of light blue reagents for a few seconds before reaching out to pick them up and looking them over carefully.
"But it has a side effect that cannot be ignored." Arvid continued: "After using it, it may lead to the complete fusion of the spiritual body and the main body, that is to say, the disappearance of the spiritual body... Although it is better for my brother to not have a spiritual body now. It was stronger in the past, but the final decision-making power is still in your own hands, there are three medicines in it, you take them back, you can send them for a test, and take your time to consider."
Odrose lowered his eyes, and there was a glimmer of darkness in his eyes, as if he was sighing, but there was still no expression on his face.
After his brother left, Arvid, who had always been very comfortable before, suddenly let out a long sigh, and spread his whole body on the experimental table.
His dragon did not know when it had appeared, nestled at his feet, looking up at him with green eyes.
He kicked his dragon and asked, "If it just disappeared...you'd miss it, wouldn't you?"
The dragon rubbed against his leg.
……
Three days later, Odrose submitted an application for a one-year sabbatical to the military.
——Then abused his power very calmly, and gave himself permission.
The situation at the border was stable, and he was no longer needed to sit in town, so he decided to travel.
He once made an agreement with a person, and when the war was over, he would take that person on a trip to a planet.
Even though the person who made the agreement with him is no longer around, and the flowering period on that planet has just begun, which is different from the time they agreed upon, he decided to complete the agreement alone.
Ruiyoune, a planet that represents reunion, can only meet with her traveling partner once every 30 years.
In the past, Odrose felt that it was a bit unlucky, but now he envied it a little.
Even if you have to wait 30 years to see each other, there is always hope, and it is better than never seeing each other.
So while the citizens of the entire empire were waiting to warmly praise the marshal who had just returned from the border, the marshal himself had already boarded the long-distance starship and left the interstellar port of the capital star alone.
Turning on the autopilot mode, looking at the dark universe outside the observation window, Odrose took out a small black square box from the space button, slowly rubbing his fingertips on the rough box wall, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
If Su Duan was here, he would be able to recognize it at a glance. This box is the one that Odlo's spiritual body took him to dig out in the garden.
On the night before departure, the dragon dug the box out of the garden again, only this time, it presented it to Odrose.
His eyes lingered on the black box in his hand for a while, and then turned back to the dark universe outside the window. Odrose's eyes showed an indistinct daze.
In fact, the safety test of the medicine that Arvid gave him has all passed, but he has not chosen to take it until now.
It's not that he didn't want to cure the disease, but he found that before he drank the potion, those forgotten memories had already begun to come back.
He thought of the rainy late night that Arvid said, also thought of the black box full of gifts hidden in the garden, and the little bits and pieces that he had forgotten in the past ten years... those time stained with dust , They all lined up one by one and returned to his memory puzzle.
...Including those nights when his spirit body went to the small slave room and bullied people to wash their underwear non-stop.
At that time, he himself was too slow to realize his own feelings, but his frank mental body couldn't wait to make a move, and thinking about it made people feel delicate.
Thinking of the little slave crying and being bullied every night and pretending that nothing happened during the day, Odrose couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, but within a few seconds, the little smile in his eyes disappeared. It went out and turned back to dead silence again.
Because he quickly remembered that the little slave was gone, and all he could grab was an object like the box in his hand that still had a little bit of the little slave's breath left.
The starship continued to advance steadily, and on the third day, Odrose picked up all his lost memories; on the fourth day, he drank the potion Arvid had prepared for him.
The spiritual body seemed to feel something, and suddenly appeared in the starship, lowered its head towards him, and let out a low cry.
Odrose looked up at its ice-blue eyes that were exactly like his own, and saw a kind of almost relieved sadness in them.
Exactly the same as in his eyes.
——He now understands the emperor's mood. When his partner leaves, living alone becomes a tormenting thing.
In the face of starships that can already reach several light-years per hour, space travel is no longer long.
And the side effects of the drug soon began to show.
When he had advanced a third of the way, his dragon had lost the ability to materialize.
Halfway through the journey, that huge body began to become transparent.
When there is only a quarter of it left, the mental body is already as thin as a transparent creature, and it is almost undetectable with the naked eye if you don't look carefully.
Finally, when the starship landed on the land of Ruiyune, and the ship door opened to both sides, revealing a small piece of beautiful scenery, Odrose felt empty in his heart, and inexplicably full, his mental body was completely in harmony with his Melted into one, the form dissipated into the world.
And his pupils, at that moment, also erected their pupils, showing the shape of a beast.
Stepping out of the starship and stepping on the soft soil covered with petals, in front of his eyes was a beautiful picture of flowers and trees entangled like clouds, but Odrose was indifferent to this, and lowered his eyebrows indifferently.
What impresses him is never the stunning scenery, but the people who look forward to seeing the scenery together.
Now that the people are gone, the landscape has no meaning.
He turned on the map navigation on his personal terminal, planning to find a place that costs less to take a rest.
Since the agreement made with the little slave at that time was to live here for a period of time, it had to be fulfilled.
However, the moment he lowered his head, a somewhat violent wind suddenly blew, carrying a strong fragrance of flowers, brushing past his nose.
Odrose paused.
After the evolution of his mental power, his five senses also evolved, so he keenly smelled a strange sweetness and bitterness among these sweet and greasy fragrances of flowers.
That's not the smell of flowers.
In the next second, Odrose was in a trance, and the original pupils suddenly turned into normal human appearance.
And at the same time, there was also his spiritual body that should have dissipated.
However, after the spirit body appeared, he didn't even look at him at all. He raised his head and sniffed the air left and right, then suddenly ran away in one direction with flapping wings.
Looking at the back of his mental body, Odrose: "..."
