Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 101 "Promise me one thing"

In golden autumn and October, the mountains in the northern country are full of eye-catching red and yellow.Deep and shallow, bright and dark, dazzling.A two-meter-wide winding mountain dirt road, there are obvious traces of weeding trucks.But all kinds of weeds are still lush and green, and they have not covered the upper.

On both sides of the mountain road are straight red birches.It can be seen that some people planted it specially more than ten decades ago.Today, the trunks are as thick as the mouth of a bowl.The red birch has lost its leaves, and the branches are shedding their skins. The curls are curled up, and the old brown-red bark is shed, revealing the light brown new bark.

In the sun, they seem to be burning.

……

What Dongming said was right, this place is indeed very suitable for walking.

The two walked in silence, and Jiang Ling didn't say anything, because walking in the mountains, the vegetation was lush, and there was joy and joy everywhere, with fearless and silly joy, so Jiang Ling managed to make himself forget about that problem, and secretly led the way while walking. The "white mist" here is flowing faster.

But at this moment, Dongming said: "Yale is a rare talent and beauty. He left the camp at the age of 29, with twelfth level physical skills and eighth level spiritual power. He is young and has immeasurable potential. He is worth a lot. 470 million Rumi coins, a new high, is our pride. But he was seriously injured in the late fourteenth level of physical arts, leaving hidden dangers, and there is no hope of advancing to the fifteenth level."

Like Aik, he was also injured!But Jiang Ling was even more surprised by another point - worth!That's the price of selling yourself!And Dongming said it so naturally, so calmly and proudly!For Jiang Ling, it is really hard to imagine a free man who would be proud of selling himself into a slave...

Dongming looked at Jiang Ling, rolled up his sleeves, took off the access device, and handed it to Jiang Ling: "Look for yourself."

Jiang Ling took it, still at a loss: "Isn't this your...equipment?"

The corners of Dongming's lips twitched slightly: "It's not for military use. Do your soldiers carry guns when they're on vacation?"

Jiang Ling was stunned and shook her head: "No." She put it on, and quickly called up the analog access, searched, pulled out the information, enlarged the font, and read it while walking.

*********
The process of the Igola people entering the Galactic Federation is much more tragic and unfortunate than that of the earth.Because the basic star system where the planet Igola is located has an extremely bad star field position.It is located inside a fifth-level civilization called Rumi, and it is still on the border of the two star fields, that is, in the gap between the two major group forces.

This may sound strange at first, but it's actually quite common.Because the star field is three-dimensional, not a plane.The universe is vast and deep, with good and bad terrain.Such as black holes, meteorite belts.Therefore, in the process of exploration and development, there are often many corners that have not been discovered-like a sesame seed wrapped in a braised lion's head.The sesame seeds are too small, and when most people eat this braised pork, they often cannot find the sesame seeds.Only those who chew carefully will notice it.

If "eat well" is the early stage of Star Field development, then "chewing carefully" is equivalent to the middle stage of Star Field development.A fifth-level civilization, of course, has entered the middle stage of star field development.So, Igola was found.

The Igola people had entered the era of hot weapons at that time, but they still attached great importance to personal bravery.This is their deep cultural imprint.Because their gravity is much greater than that of the earth, and the natural environment is more complicated than that of the earth, these two points make the beasts in the wild more ferocious, and also make the Igola people more brave.

Of course, the influence of gravity and the natural environment exists on both humans and animals.And no matter where, only strong enough people and animals can survive.So in general, after tens of millions of years of elimination, in terms of physical skills, the Igola people have more potential than the earth people.

This is the regional characteristics.

……

"It's more like a golden starfish."

"Correct."

"Then you will allegiance to the royal family and start exporting...physics talents?"

Dongming's cheeks twitched slightly: "It's not so easy. A fifth-level civilization, its civic potential is no worse than ours. Its star field is vast, and there are planets similar to ours. The passage between them is to go Find it on a professional history site."

Jiang Ling responded and searched again.

But Dongming has already gone on: "At that time, our population was 8000 million. The two decided to clean up the planet and divide it in half, because the location of the star field is of strategic significance. We could not win that war. Fortunately, our The Haminas got together and found a way out."

This is a good thing.But because of Dongming's chilling words, Jiang Ling shuddered: "... a way to survive?"

Dongming nodded: "Yes. They gathered our best manpower, 21, and attacked the garrison camp in the early morning. While they were sleeping, they killed 560 seven people. All 21 died. But at the same time, they used the spoils of war to attack the garrison camp. We contacted the royal family of Rumi through the access device in the palace. Taking this sneak attack as evidence, we prove that our physical potential is enough to become the property of the royal family."

Jiang Ling is still not used to it: "Become the...property of the royal family?" Dongming, you are also...property?
Dongming is very ordinary: "Yes, strategic position, plus an annuity. The royal family is happy to turn Igola into a nail between the two star field forces. What's more, the slaves exported by Igola every year can be exchanged for one A lot of money. They don't put much in, and they get a lot. Nice deal, isn't it?"

——This slave can be a slave if he wants to!But also the right time, place and people!

Jiang Ling felt her throat dry: "... In other words, you keep the royal garrison?"

Dongming shook his head slightly: "Partially."

Jiang Ling found that her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Does the Galaxy Alliance not care?"

Dongming shook his head: "Our reserved star domain overlaps with Rumi's territory by more than [-]%. We have no potential for independent development. Even if there is...they will not attack a fifth-level civilization for the sake of a first-level civilization. Warning That's all. Fine at most."

Jiang Ling was speechless for a long time.Suddenly, she remembered that long dream.

When Jiang Ling in the dream returned to the village, the four people who hugged her, pressed her cheeks to each other, and kissed her forehead called her "Haminas"!
"Lin Yu Zhe" is Jiang Ling's own Chinese translation, a free translation.Because the four pronunciations of "Haminas" in the language of the dream mean "people who can communicate with the forest and are loyal friends with the forest".

*********
So Jiang Ling was even more speechless—could it be that the "plum" she ate flew over from Dongming?But impossible!The distance is too far!Rumi is on the other side of Masituka!That's not a distance that a fruit can leap! 【※】

Jiang Ling barely calmed down: "Who is Haminas among you? Is he a master among masters?"

Dongming shook his head slightly: "No, honorifics, only the group of people who made decisions and actions. They were executed by the royal family after the armistice and thousands of people were implicated. Their crime was murder. As a consolation, Appease the forces on both sides that slaughtered us."

Dongming spoke calmly, but Jiang Ling still felt cold when he heard it: "I think of the Nanjing Massacre... No, we kicked out the devils later! We became independent! Um... or the American Indians are more like... ..."

Dongming nodded: "They are our leaders and elders. Haminas... In ancient stories, people who can fly like eagles can see far and clearly, are wise and decisive. They let us Can survive, so we have been used to calling them that from generation to generation. That's it."【※】

Jiang Ling finally confirmed: "Apart from this, they don't have special abilities?

Dongming shook his head: "No. But only this old name is worthy of them."

Jiang Ling seriously agreed: "Yes. That cannot be expressed in words."

……

At this time, the two had reached the top of the hill.A simple concrete platform was built on the top of the mountain. When you climb on the platform, you can see the vast green hills and gorgeous red leaves.

The two watched for a while, and Dongming suddenly said, "Jiang Ling."

He rarely called Jiang Ling by his name.In fact, it was called for the first time.So Jiang Ling was surprised: "What?"

Dongming was not in a hurry to answer. He lowered his head, took off his "sunglasses" and put them away, and turned to face Jiang Ling with a solemn expression: "Now you know."

Jiang Ling stared blankly at Dongming: "Huh?" It's strange that Dongming's skin has no color difference after wearing "sunglasses" for so long.Well, for technical reasons.But why can a person's eyes be so bright?Also, why does Dongming have a wing-like tattoo on the corner of his right eye, but Yale doesn't have it!

Jiang Ling's thoughts went full circle before returning to the topic...Know what?Oh, of course I know... Cruel!The cruelty of the interstellar era!Cruelty among civilizations!So Jiang Ling nodded stiffly: "I see."

—But why did you say that in particular?
Dongming's voice was very soft, but his tone was firm and calm: "So, hurry up and go to Qi Ya."

Jiang Ling was startled, and the first thought made her pale and cold all over: "Someone is going to hit the earth?!"

Dongming shook his head, but the answer he spit out was not very good: "I don't know. In short, you should do it as soon as possible."

It was rare for Jiang Ling to get to the bottom of it: "Then why? Because I can't do anything here?"

Dongming froze like a statue for a moment, then he nodded slightly.

*********
Jiang Ling looked at Dongming, and then couldn't help but smiled wryly: "First of all, it seems impossible for me to get away before Lu Lin leaves China; and before Lu Lin leaves the earth, they probably won't let me go to school, just in case there is a diplomatic need .Secondly, although there is a small card, there is no problem entering the country, but if we go to Chia, we don’t have a starship for me to sit on. In addition, the fastest route is to transfer from the Giluk Federation. Their embassy, ​​every three There is a scheduled flight open to us every month. In the end, when Lu Lin's fleet returns, it is impossible to take me a ride, right?"

Dongming shook his head: "Impossible."

Jiang Ling spread his hands: "That's all right. I guess we won't be able to leave until next spring. Maybe it's summer."

Dongming paused for a while, and then spit out a short answer: "Lei Lie."

Frustrated, Jiang Ling patted himself on the forehead and wailed in a low voice: "Do you think I am so important?! How many people are staring at it and counting on it!"

Dongming was silent.Then he said, "Then, promise me one thing."
