I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

When Heinrich mentioned Lin Xu, Marlene Anna finally looked at him as if condescending, which finally gave Lin Xu a chance to breathe.

But it's hard to blame Marlene Anna.

Her eyes were pure and soft, her fair skin and bright red lips seemed to exude the fragrance of roses, her blond hair hung softly on her shoulders, and every strand of her hair was exquisitely outrageous.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Marshal." Her voice was also gentle.

"No need." Heinrich's thin lips spat out short syllables, as low as a stone.

He and Marlene Anna are two extremes, but now, Marlene Anna's extreme can make Lin Xu say a few more words.

"Marlene, don't worry about me, I know my body well."

Marlene held Lin Xu's hand with her soft hand: "But at this moment, the ancient earth survey team is about to set sail. I'm worried that your physical condition will not last."

"I did not apply to join the delegation."

Marlene was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, smiled and said: "Well, you still have such a personality, you don't go if you don't want to go, and I just don't go either."

"Why?" Lin Xu wondered.

Marlene Anna is a professor of paleoearth at Capital Star University. Although she is usually a gentle and beautiful Omega, she has a strong and almost romantic passion for ancient earth research. She has almost no reason not to join this exciting journey.

Marlene looked back at her husband, and her smile deepened: "I'm pregnant, so I'm not suitable for long-distance voyages and long-term investigations."

She took Lin Xu's hand and placed it on her abdomen, "It's only been four months, it's not too obvious yet."

But Lin Xu felt the rhythm of life with his keen senses. This feeling was so miraculous that it almost made him a little dazed.

Marlene Anna continued: "When he is born, I will let you be the godfather."

Lin Xu rolled his eyes, and his tone was not so lifeless: "Wouldn't the seniority be messed up?"

In the interstellar era, human life expectancy increases. Marlene Anna looks only in her early thirties, but her actual age is already over 50 years old.

Lin Xu came to the interstellar era from the apocalypse eight years ago through a rift in time and space. After spending some time dealing with his identity, he went to study at Capital Star University. Marlene Anna was his mentor and always cared for him.

"What does it matter?" Marlene Anna said, "However, after the expedition set sail, His Royal Highness will hold a celebration banquet at the Ancient Earth Museum. You have to come to this, otherwise the academic circles will think that 'the well-known scholar Lin Xu' is a ghost. Speaking of this, I have to thank Marshal Chu for bringing the ancient earth research back to life, otherwise the museum would not welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

She looked at Heinrich who had returned to his original position and sat down, and nodded with a smile.

Lin Xu frowned invisibly. He really didn't want to thank Heinrich, the chief culprit who disturbed his peaceful work.

Heinrich looked indifferent, and replied: "Finding the ancient earth is just luck."

"Not everyone has this kind of luck. You came to Xiaoxu for..."

After the compliment, Marlene Anna finally revealed her true intention to protect. Although she was still gentle, it seemed that there was an invisible spike protecting Lin Xu.

Chen Jingshan looked at his wife's sudden change of temperament, and felt a little anxious and flustered. The Marshal in front of him is so powerful that he shakes the entire Einstein Galaxy, how can he...

Of course Marlene Anna respected this Marshal who fought for the empire, but she really couldn't think of any reason why the famous Marshal of the Abyss Fleet would put down his dignity to find a researcher in person.

"Zhou Pingbo from the Imperial Research Institute told me that Mr. Lin Xu is an expert in the field of ancient earth languages. I would like to ask Mr. Lin Xu to translate something." Concerned about Marlene Anna's questioning, she only looked at Lin Xu.

The other party has a pair of gray eyes, like ice floes on the sea surface, not transparent, but covered with a layer of vague mist, making people unable to see the depths, completely lacking the fierceness of last night's attack, "involved It is a military secret, please avoid it, both of you."

On the surface, it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing. In terms of ancient earth language, Lin Xu's ability is indeed far ahead of other colleagues, but... what is the secret that needs to be handed over by the marshal?

Marlene frowned and wanted to say something, but Chen Jingshan held her arm. After a few words of dissuasion, she turned to Heinrich in a less friendly tone: "We won't bother the Marshal anymore. Xiaoxu, the Marshal's abyss will come in ten days. The fleet escorts the inspection team to set sail, remember to go to the celebration banquet, and I will ask the tailor to send you a dress."

She hinted Lin Xu in words not to be afraid of Heinrich. Even the Marshal of the Empire cannot force a legal citizen. Moreover, he will leave the New Moon Special Zone in ten days, and he doesn't know how long it will take to return.

Lin Xu nodded and signaled her to rest assured. Marlene patted his head and said goodbye to him. Chen Jingshan stood at attention again and saluted the marshal.

The two left one after another. Lin Xu leaned against the head of the bed and closed his eyes to rest for a while. Heinrich sat in his original position without speaking, and waited quietly.

Arnold, who finished handling the sundries, saw such a peaceful scene when he walked into the ward. Lin Xu was leaning on a soft and thick pillow, with two rabbits and cats curled up beside him. Opposite, thoughtful.

During interstellar voyages, various stars are often passed by. When the blazing radiation shines into the starship through the glass window, it is almost sharp and terrifying. Imperial soldiers in the interstellar space rarely have the opportunity to be directly exposed to the light of the stars without wearing protective gear. .

But the sunshine in the Crescent Special Zone is very gentle. I don’t know if the sunlight on the earth will be more beautiful.

Arnold lightened his footsteps and voice, lowered his head and asked, "Marshal, do you still have to wait for Mr. Lin to wake up? Or..."

"I'm awake." Lin Xu opened his eyes, and his voice became indifferent again, "What does the Marshal want me to translate?"

Heinrich frowned. His well-defined face did not often have exaggerated expressions. Therefore, any small changes would be seen, and they always carried the habitual authority of someone who has been in power for many years.

But what he said next didn't sound like that, "If Mr. Lin Xu is unwell, I'm not in a hurry, there are still ten days."

Then why did you invite Marianna out just now?

Lin Xu was speechless, but Arnold was sweating in a hurry, and whispered in Heinrich's ear: "Marshal, your schedule is not like this."

Lin Xu could hear it, and he pressed his forehead: "My health is not so bad that I can't read. Please show me the content that needs to be translated. There are many languages ​​on the ancient earth, and I can't guarantee that I understand them all."

"Okay." Heinrich looked at him for a while, didn't insist anymore, and nodded to Arnold, who immediately understood, took out a metal device, and set up an electromagnetic barrier to prevent prying eyes in the ward.

Heinrich turned on his optical brain, opened the file after some digital and biological code verification, and clicked to play.

A low-pitched male voice echoed within the barrier. The language used in the audio was far from the pronunciation of the Imperial language, nor was it the language used by known interstellar races.

It can only be confirmed that the speaker is a human being by the way of vocalization.

Most of the research on ancient earth languages ​​in imperial academic circles stays in the analysis of written texts, and there are also studies on the restoration of pronunciation, but it always sounds blunt.

When Zhou Pingbo introduced Lin Xu to Heinrich, he played a passage of Lin Xu's restoration of the pronunciation of the ancient earth language.

The voice of the young man is indifferent, but also smooth and pleasant, without any stagnation or twists and turns.

"Don't be afraid, don't be disturbed, and don't look around.

Your endless journey,

But it was a long night. "*

This is an unnamed short poem from the collection of cultural relics. No one knows what kind of eyes the human ancestors who embarked on the interstellar journey will linger on these now unfamiliar characters.

It may be because of the high fever that just ended, Lin Xu's voice now sounds a little deep and hoarse, as if something furry was scratching Heinrich's heart.

He said: "This recording is in Old Earth French. I regret that I do not understand this language, and the Empire does not have enough data to restore its pronunciation."

Heinrich's expression didn't change, but Arnold, who got the answer, looked sluggish.

The marshal leaned forward and asked: "Now that the coordinates of the ancient earth have been confirmed, if Mr. Lin Xu can find enough information on the ancient earth, can you translate this passage?"

"Unfortunately, I won't be going."

Lin Xu had already repeated this sentence four times to different people, and he didn't want to say it again.

The author has something to say:

Lin Xu: I won't go, I won't go, I won't go, I won't go, I've said it four times.

then……

Really fragrant.
