Capital Star has a clear sky and a pleasant climate all year round. Cloudy, rainy and thunderstorms are very rare, but it happens that Marshal Heinrich Chu is about to set sail to join his Abyss Fleet and head to the front line of the Dionysus region together. , the intelligent algorithm of the climate control center arranged a rainstorm.

There are several pitch-black starships moored at the capital star military port, all of which are spray-painted with the logo of sharp arrows and shields. During the torrential rain, evaporated water vapor rises from the engine port.

The other high-level generals of the Abyss Fleet who were also resting on the capital star will set off with Heinrich.

The emperor also came to see him off. Because of the heavy rain, the huge farewell speech scheduled to be held outdoors was canceled. When the time came, the generals would board the ship according to the scheduled procedures.

However, as a token of respect and best wishes, the emperor, who was present in full costume, walked towards Heinrich alone with a wine glass.

"His Majesty."

Heinrich was originally talking to Lin Xu, holding Yuanxiao in his arms. When the emperor came in front of him, he had to hold Xiaolong with one hand and salute the emperor with the other.

Alfred's eyes fell on Yuan Xiao's body, Yuan Xiao's small wings flicked, and she turned her face and buried the rows of military medals on Heinrich's chest, not daring to look at strangers.

When Heinrich learned that His Majesty the Emperor would attend the sailing ceremony, he chose a new custom-made military uniform to put on, and put on the shining military medals one by one.

The emperor also wore the highest standard of gorgeous dress, and the two of them stood together, solemn, luxurious and majestic, as if the sound of the rain outside the window was no longer bleak and shrill.

It made Lin Xu on the side look too casual, like a stray into a high-class banquet.

He rushed over in a hurry, and when he went out, he grabbed a jacket and put it over the T-shirt, and the bottom of his trousers was still stained with the water splashed when he ran through the puddle.

A sailing ceremony originally didn’t need to involve so many people, but for some reason, the emperor and the marshal knew that each other would be there, so they chose the most complicated costumes by coincidence.

Alfred raised his glass to Heinrich, and a waiter with a champagne tray stepped forward at the right time.

"Marshal Chu has a long way to go, I wish Marshal Chu a triumphant return in advance with thin wine."

Heinrich stood up straight and did not pick up the champagne. He replied: "Thank you for your kindness, please forgive me for being in the military and not able to drink."

Alfred felt a little regretful, but he didn't force Heinrich. After thinking for a second, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Xu who was beside him: "Why don't you ask Dr. Lin to drink this glass of wine on behalf of Marshal Chu, and I will also wish you the best of luck along the way." You two... happy wedding."

Lin Xu frowned slightly, and his eyes glanced at Alfred's sincere fake smile. When he raised his hand, the waiter took a step forward knowingly and delivered the champagne to Lin Xu.

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Alfred's smile deepened: "Then I will say goodbye without disturbing you two."

He nodded, turned and left, changed another glass of wine, walked into the conversation circle of the generals with a smile, and accepted their greetings.

Heinrich noticed that Lin Xu's eyes followed Alfred's back and stayed for a few more seconds.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"The emperor...was he like this before?"

Lin Xu only saw the emperor face to face once, and the rest of the time he only saw this face in the news broadcast. The emperor was very similar to the prince and his son. Both in appearance and personality, they were approachable and gentle, but the emperor's face often A little more traces of the years.

This time, although the emperor only said some ordinary words, Lin Xu vaguely felt a faint desire to attack in him.

But Heinrich is the marshal of the empire, and he is about to go to another star area to quell the rebellion, and will not pose any threat to the emperor. What is he attacking?

"What do you think of him?" Heinrich didn't answer directly, but instead asked Lin Xu.

He was relieved when he saw Lin Xu frowning facing the emperor's back.

"In my impression, he would be more friendly."

At least he won't insist on letting people drink on his behalf.

Heinrich: "Your Majesty's power has been stable for more than ten years, and his temper has gradually stabilized."

"Hmm..." Lin Xu withdrew his gaze, put aside his thoughts for the time being, raised his hand to grab the black tail of the little dragon in Heinrich's arms, and tugged it down.

"Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."

[Papa! 】

"Yuanxiao, you can turn your head around now," Lin Xu said.

In the past few days, he and Heinrich barely taught Yuanxiao a few words in the spiritual realm.

[Dada, be afraid! 】Yuan Xiao hugged the military medals on Heinrich's chest tightly. One of the Starfire Medals was embedded with a ruby, surrounded by diamonds. Bite up.

Fortunately, this Starfire Medal is made of high-strength alloy, otherwise it would not be able to stop Yuanxiao's mouth of cutting gold and grinding iron.

But when Lin Xu managed to tear Yuan Xiao off Heinrich, Yuan Xiao's teeth had already left a circle of deep tooth marks on the silver medal.

Yuan Xiao sat on Lin Xu's arm, her white paws were still stretching towards the medal, and Heinrich finally grabbed the paws with three fingers.

[Not all shiny stones can be used as food, you know? 】

【dada~】Yuan Xiao shook Heinrich's finger.

Heinrich's expression remained unchanged: [Do you remember? 】

Yuan Xiao looked at him, and the shaking of her fingers gradually decreased. When she was about to stop, tears began to seep in her blue eyes, and she whimpered and threw herself into Lin Xu's arms, burying her head and refusing to look at Heinrich.

Lin Xu hugged Yuan Xiao tightly, took out a sea crystal from his pocket, and handed it to Heinrich. Heinrich met his eyes and understood immediately.

He pinched Haijing, dangling beside Yuan Xiao's head, the aroma of energy wafted in the air, Yuan Xiao's head moved twice, sniffing and sniffing.

Three seconds later, he couldn't help but tilt his head, snatched Haijing from Heinrich's hand in one gulp, then turned back immediately, buried it on Lin Xu's body and started chewing.

Heinrich touched his head lightly.

At this time, the mechanical voice of artificial intelligence came from the corridor: "There are still three to ten minutes before the scheduled sailing time, please prepare to board the ship, repeat, before..."

He slowly withdrew his hand: "I should go."

"Go."

Heinrich didn't leave immediately, but paused again with lowered eyes. He took Lin Xu's free hand and placed it next to his cheek.

Lin Xu's tiger's mouth moved, brushing against Heinrich's temple hair.

"I am leaving."

This time, Heinrich actually turned and left.

There is still a few hundred meters away from the indoor corridor to the berth of the starship on the ground. In the pouring rain, the guards of honor separated on both sides and drew a path. A group of generals of the Abyss Fleet in black uniforms rushed into the rain and walked quickly. Go to the eight starships.

The strong wind slanted the rain, splashing on the glass and blurring the view outside the window.

Alfred went back and forth, Lin Xu heard footsteps coming towards him, and tilted his head slightly, but his eyes were still on the starship in the rainstorm.

"Dr. Lin, should I have someone take you back?"

Lin Xu couldn't help turning his gaze to him: "Your Majesty?" We don't know each other that well.

"It's raining too much outside." Alfred's words seemed very caring.

"No, don't bother Your Majesty, I will go to Endymion, and I will not go with you." Lin Xu said, and waved to Arnold in the crowd, "Colonel Arnold will take me back, you don't have to worry about the weather. "

He didn't continue to press on: "Well, good luck, don't get wet from the rain again."

After Arnold and one of his colleagues sent Lin Xu and Yuan Xiao back to the Kakalamo Plain, they left an aircraft for Lin Xu, and said that he was living on the edge of the central city of Endymion during this period, if Mr. Lin He's always available when needed.

After the two left, Lin Xu entered the room with Yuanxiao in his arms. Tutumao and Blue Squirrel were still scurrying around on the carpet in the living room. As soon as they saw Lin Xu, Xiaobai immediately ran to rub Lin Xu's trousers, and Xiaohei was a little behind. , looked around and found that there was no second figure, so he had to make do with sharing Lin Xu's trousers with Xiaobai.

Dip—the timing cooking machine in the kitchen made the sound of task completion. It was the sweet porridge that Heinrich had ordered before he left.

Lin Xu put down the Lantern Festival, pulled out the flame with his fingertips and threw it into the fireplace. The firewood with carbon marks on the surface began to burn again. Lin Xu glanced at it, walked into the kitchen to fill out a bowl of porridge, and then began to prepare other dishes.

Yuan Xiao played with the two rabbits and cats all afternoon, before it was time to fall asleep at night, she flapped her wings and flew up to the second floor, and fell headfirst on the crib Heinrich installed for him.

There was no work or investigation tonight, so Lin Xu fell asleep alone on the big bed at normal time.

In the middle of the night, he was woken up by a heavy object. At first he thought it was rabbits and cats, but when he touched it, it turned out to be delicate scales.

Yuan Xiao crawled past Lin Xu in a daze, muttering in her mental realm: [papa...dada...]

When he struggled over the mountains and fell on the other half of the empty bed, he was exhausted again and fell asleep.

The next day, Lin Xu was going to work in the museum. He was worried about leaving Yuan Xiao at home alone, so he found a backpack that had not been used for a long time from the storage room, let Yuan Xiao stay in it obediently, and Papa took him out.

Lin Xu had his own independent office. Yuan Xiao stayed in the office all day, and everything was fine. He was careful and well-behaved, and his strong wings didn't damage anything.

After work, Lin Xu took the space elevator to Capital Star. The scholars who studied the Chinese monuments were all teaching at Capital Star University. They invited Lin Xu to exchange papers and prepare for finalization.

Lin Xu was very familiar with Capital Star University, so he carried Lantern Festival all the way to the discussion room of the Department of Paleogeology.

He used to change group assignments into individual assignments in a different way, and he didn't come to the discussion room often. If there was any problem, he usually discussed it with Marlene in her office to solve it.

Several scholars greeted Lin Xu with a smile. Lin Xu was notoriously cold-tempered in the circle. They exchanged a few pleasantries in moderation and immediately got to the point.

After reading the thesis, Lin Xu gave a more detailed description of certain vague points, and discussed with them to correct some minor flaws. Other than that, there were no major mistakes in this thesis on the Chinese inscription.

When Lin Xu started to revise, one of them asked: "Is Dr. Lin interested in returning to teach at Capital Star University? The treatment here is better than that of the museum, and the academic level is also higher."

Lin Xu's typing hands paused, then he lowered his head and continued: "I haven't thought about it."

"Actually, after Professor Purser left, there was no one capable enough to take up her major. The course offered was taken in turn by everyone. If no one makes up the course, this course will probably be cancelled. Dr. Lin's academic qualifications and Seniority is more than enough for a professorship, why not inherit her mantle?"

"I don't like teaching students."

As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone stopped asking.

He didn't have Marlene's passion for teaching and educating people. When he was above everyone, he only wanted to control in his heart, which made him tired and irritable, and he couldn't see the meaning.

Therefore, Lin Xu thought it best not to put himself in this position.

After completing the research and leaving Capital Star University, he will go to Purser Manor.
