I see myself in Genshin Impact

But why is the devil involved again?And why is the flower of the earth veins involved... What is the connection between the earth veins and myself to do such a thing...

Yu Piao Ling's thoughts flashed like lightning, but he just couldn't figure it out. However, he gave up thinking for the time being, and then looked at Coral Palace Liuli with loving eyes. If all this is true, then this child is the only one in the sea. Island, she probably suffered a lot. The flower of the earth sent her here. Could it be that she wanted her to feel

Fatherly?

Oh, how pitiful this child is. He could have lived with himself with Coral Palace Xinhai, but now, because he failed to clean up all the enemies in the past, Coral Palace Xinhai was assassinated by a killer hired by the enemy. Originally, he was just I lost my father when I was little, and now I have a father but no mother...

Thinking of this, Yu Piaoling hit herself on the head and cursed herself for being heartless, but there was nothing she could do about it. Anyone would be at a loss when they suddenly have a teenage daughter.

"However, I will avenge this revenge!" Yu Piaoling secretly made up his mind, but the Coral Palace Liuli opposite had no intention of stopping there. She looked at Yu Piaoling in a daze, and the anger in her heart became more and more intense, especially when the other party looked stupid. He looks stupid. He doesn't have the charm of the Liyue Sword Immortal that Mother said. He is just a looker.

A fool?Then she decisively called on the water elemental power to wrap it around her fist, and hit Yu Piaoling's face again.

Today she was going to give this idiot father a good beating, and at the very least vent her longing for her mother who had been alone on Haiji Island for more than ten years!

"Whoosh!" With a sound, Coral Palace Liuli's fist struck like the speed of sound. The Miko Luko next to her had just been alerted to the danger, but before she could shout out, the fist had already hit Yu Piaoling, who was in a daze. On the cheek, there was a "Boom!" and Yu Piaoling's body was knocked away.

The big glyph rotated and hit the mountain wall not far away. Then with the sound of "crash", the water of the waterfall and the broken stones covered half of the rain falling on the body.

"Floating...!!" Miko Luko yelled anxiously when she saw this, and then immediately ran over. After the smoke dissipated, the messy appearance of falling rain was revealed. At this time, a few strands of his hair were stuck to his face. The clothes were in tatters, the whole person was embedded in the mountain wall, the lower body was buried in the gravel, and he looked soft.

Seeing this, Miko Luko was heartbroken. She hurriedly helped Yu Piaoling clean up the rubble on her lower body. There was a trace of blood on the corner of Yu Piaoling's mouth. It seemed that he had been injured by the punch just now.

"Ouch, ouch...cough...it's really powerful. If the relic was hit by the punch just now, it would explode... He is indeed the child of me and Xinhai... his talent is really good. "Yu Piaoling was not angry, but hoped that Coral Palace Liuli could vent her pain, even if the other party was herself.

As the saying goes, this is the fate he deserves. Under the exchange of positions, if his parents acted like this, he would give his father a hard punch in the face, even if it was not the other party's intention to abandon his wife and children. Same.

"Shut up! Idiot father!" After hearing Yu Piaoling's words, Coral Gong Liuli felt that the other party was mocking her again. The remaining weapons of Kanreia like the Cricket Ruins Heavy Machinery were not her enemy at all. If it weren't for her mother, It is said that Haiji Island needs to leave some relic heavy machines and relic hunters to train the future people.

Holy witch, she had already broken them all into pieces and used them as building materials!

On Kaiji Island, Coral Miya Ruri was able to secure her position as the goddess of existence. In addition to the support of her grandmother and mother, she also had a super talent that she showed since she was a child. She conquered all the people of Kaiji Island at the age of six. Catching a floating spirit and using it as a ball to kick, a seven-year-old using the eyes of the water god to form a cage to catch a wandering samurai, and an eight-year-old punching

After defeating the ruin hunters, they dragged the body of the ruins machine back to the Coral Palace as a toy at the age of nine. They believed that under the leadership of the powerful Coral Palace Liuli, Haiji Island would definitely have a better future, and the Coral Palace Liuli is still young and has great potential in the future. Even the old figures of the Coral Palace clan have come forward.

He spoke: "Coral Palace Ruri is the most talented living goddess miko in the 500 years since Kaiji Island was founded!"

"Wind, Dew, Qingchou!" Coral Gong Liuli said word by word, with a cold loli sound. The artifact Feng Lu Qingchou in her left hand floated in front of Coral Gong Liuli. Then she waved her right hand and aimed at the target. He hit Yu Piao Ling's head, and then Feng Lu Qingchou smashed it with a huge force.

"This is really..." Looking at the flying Feng Lu Qingchou, Yu Piao Ling smiled miserably, shook his head helplessly, and secretly thought that if his memory was correct, Coral Palace Xinhai would have built this piece and given it to him. Her artifact was given to Coral Palace Liuli as a personal protective weapon. It is luxurious enough, but it can also be seen that

Coral Gong Xinhai loved this child so much, and it was precisely because of this that Yu Piaoling felt even more guilty about her. Why...why didn't she tell herself in the first place?What if...hey...

With his mind spinning a thousand times, Yu Piaoling closed his eyes and allowed Feng Lu Qingchou's attack to hit him. However, this scene frightened the Miko Luko who was beside him to help him clean up at any time. She screamed and looked at Tragedy is about to happen...

As a result, Feng Lu Qingchou came to Yu Piao Ling's forehead, and after a gentle touch, it fell on Yu Piao Ling's body, and the water elemental power originally wrapped on it also dissipated without a trace.

This is also a characteristic of the Teyvat continent. Five-star artifacts, including higher-level artifacts, cannot fatally attack their creators. The artifacts have spirits. Although they are not very intelligent, there is a bottom line.

"Haha..." Yu Piaoling felt Feng Lu Qingchou fall on his chest, and chuckled. He once again determined the possibility that Coral Palace Liuli was his daughter, and also confirmed that the memory given to him by the earth's veins had never been It's not false. It seems that the other party is probably his daughter in the previous life, but because of unknown reasons

For arriving in this world.

As for the specific reason, Yu Piaoling opened his eyes and took a look at Coral Gong Liuli, who was a bit stupid. He had well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and there was worry in his heart. This child seemed to be a little simple-minded because he was too invincible on Haiji Island since he was a child. Of course, It may also be because he is doted on by Coral Palace's heart sea and has not yet been formally cultivated.

Of course, considering the memories of her previous life, Yu Piaoling knew that Coral Palace’s heart was busy with the war between Yalu Island and Kannazuka, and he probably couldn’t spare much time to train her. He probably planned to wait until the war was over before considering these things. Bar.

Because of Dao Wife's seclusion, Yu Piaoling doesn't have many memories of his previous life, especially as the Liyue Sword Immortal, he has no right to interfere in Dao Wife's affairs. This will bring greater disputes between the two countries, and one cannot handle it. Well, Liyue will be suspected of meddling in other countries' internal affairs, and Coral Palace Xinhai has the background to strictly control the war.

As a result, both parties were relatively restrained and never crossed the line. Although I was worried, I was not worried.

"How could... Feng Lu Qingchou... come back! Come back quickly!" Coral Gong Liuli was shocked when she saw this. She didn't understand why this happened. Although she knew that with Yu Piao Ling's strength, this blow looked terrifying. But it only makes the other party more embarrassed and cannot hurt the other party, but Feng Lu Qingchou himself

The Lord stopped attacking because she did not expect it. You must know that she has never failed to get Feng Lu Qingchou since she was a child. With this thing, whether she is aiming at Feitian Xiaobao or the big beast in the sea from a long distance , all like arms and fingers!

When Feng Lu Qingchou heard her master's call, she immediately floated up from Yu Piao Ling's chest, and then returned to the hands of Coral Palace Liuli again.

"Yes, Mother once said that Feng Lu Qingchou was forged by Father. No wonder, no wonder it won't attack Father... The artifact has spirit and will not attack the creator..." Coral Palace Liuli hugged her with both hands. Feng Lu Qingchou flew back, and after stroking her up and down, she looked for it in the nook and cranny of her mind.

It was what Coral Palace Xinhai said back then.

Then this scene finally caused Miko Luko to explode. She could no longer bear the repeated attacks from Coral Palace Heart Sea, and she started to use the artifact for the second time. Next, are you planning to demolish the island? , since you call me auntie and you are my niece, then I will educate you well today.

, so as not to be like this again!

"That's enough, Coral Palace Liuli!" After cleaning up the rubble on Yu Piaoling's body, Miko Luko stood up and yelled at Coral Palace Liuli.

"Huh?" Coral Gong Liuli heard the roar of Luko Miko, and in desperation, the memory of the past was brought back, and she immediately stood upright in place, waiting for the instructions from Miko Luko.

"Are you done with this girl? After all, he is also your father, so you are so kind to your father and filial to your son? If you spread the word, you will really make others laugh. You have forgotten all the etiquette of the gods, mikos and maidens of Kaiji Island. Are you there?" Miko Luko walked over angrily, came to the front and back of Coral Palace Liuli, raised her right index finger and pointed at

He tapped her forehead fiercely, and then continued to shout: "I know you have resentment in your heart, but what can we talk about between father and daughter? What's more, your mother's death has nothing to do with him, don't Forcing the mistake on him, now that Coral Palace Xinhai has passed away, what will happen to Haiji Island?

Do not you know?Remind me of your responsibility as a goddess and miko!If you don’t listen, I want you to look good! "

"..." Coral Gong Liuli raised her head and glanced weakly at the angry Miko Luzi. Her eyebrows were about to stand up, and her originally pretty face was a bit ferocious at this time, as if she would be eaten if she didn't agree. The feeling in her heart The shadow appeared, lowered his head and responded obediently.

"Oh...I understand, Aunt Luzi, please don't, don't continue to get angry, okay..."

"Pfft..."

Yu Piao Ling, who was pretending to be dead in the distance, looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing. Then Miko Luko and Coral Palace Liuli glared over fiercely, as if they wanted to eat Yu Piao Ling, who was not understanding the charm!

"Ah wu..." Yu Piaoling let out a scream when he saw this, then quickly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be dead, saying that it was none of my business, you continue, leaving only Luzi Miko and Coral Palace Liuli in the distance to start Discuss the future affairs of Kaiji Island.

Although in most cases it was Riko Miko who spoke and Coramiya Ruri listened. Although Coramiya Ruri planned to refute, there were some places where she had her own ideas, but they were all rejected by Riko Miko.

Yu Piaoling looked up at Haiji Island where the dark clouds had dissipated again, and he breathed a sigh of relief. As the sun was shining brightly, he sighed in his heart: "This time, Haiji Island is really peaceful..."

533 Sword Immortal Chapter: The Second Life·Deep Changes

Although there are still many things to deal with, the most important living goddess miko in Kaiji Island appears again. Even if she changes to another person, it is enough to stabilize people's hearts.

After the discussion, Luzi Miko and Coral Palace Liuli decided to let Yu Piaoling take revenge first, leaving the rest to them.

At first, Yu Piaoling planned to stay and help with other things. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yu Piaoling planned to help Coral Palace Liuli, her daughter, calm down the situation, but she was told by Miko Luko, "You still have important things to do now." Gotta do it." He was dismissed.

Looking at the sincere eyes of Miko Luko, Yu Piaoling nodded. He knew that Miko Luko knew that she wanted to urgently take revenge on the Coral Palace Heart Poster. After all, the enemy didn't know where they would go, and the sooner they pursued her, the better.

Yu Piaoling turned to look at Coral Gong Liuli who was reluctant to leave him, smiled, and wanted to reach out and touch her head, but was afraid that the other party would refuse, and finally said: "After I finish dealing with the enemy, I will Coming back."

"Huh, with your strength you won't get hurt, right?" Coral Gong Liuli looked at the smiling Yu Piaoling and hugged Feng Lu Qingchou unhappily, tilted her head and said awkwardly, although under the suppression of Luzi Miko, she reluctantly opened the door I have overcome the grudge in my heart, but I still feel unhappy.

But these things can only wait until the future when Miko Tsuko finds time to continue enlightening them. Now, the father and daughter each have their own important things to do.

"Well, I'm very strong..." Yu Piaoling opened his mouth and wanted to continue to say something, but he saw that the other party closed his eyes. After a forced smile, he gave a signal to Miko Luko, and then the eye of the wind god issued a With the light, Yu Piaoling's body turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky, flying towards Narukami Island, which was his base camp.

Enough shogunate soldiers can be mobilized to help him collect information.

Miko Luko smiled when she saw Coral Palace Liuli looking at Yu Piaoling who was leaving. She reached out her hand at a loss, as if she wanted to catch Yu Piaoling who was flying away. However, after being stunned for a moment, she twitched her hand, and then used her hands He hugged Feng Lu Qingchou again, lowered his head depressedly, and looked lost.

"Okay, Liuli, if you want to meet, there will be a chance in the future. Now we have to deal with Xinhai's funeral." Miko Luko stretched out her hand and stroked Coral Palace Liuli's little head twice, then took her arm and turned around Went to the Coral Palace.

"Well, I know, I don't want to continue seeing each other, I'm just a little worried about whether that idiot father will get hurt..." Coral Palace Liuli shook her head and said harshly.

"Haha... Yes, yes, I know." Miko Luko nodded with a smile, and did not refute what Coral Palace Liuli said, but when she saw this scene, she was very angry, and then turned to the secret whistle outside and shouted in a lolita tone : "Follow up quickly!"

"..." The nearby secret whistle clearly saw what had just happened. They had seen the origin and strength of the Coral Palace Liuli Human God Witch. Although they still had some doubts in their hearts, the aura of the other party could not be faked. Maybe Is it really related to Master Orobas? They don’t need to ask about this, as long as the other party is a human god.

The witch was the object of allegiance to the secret sentries, so she followed them silently.

"The whistle is a secret whistle, and you can't follow them openly." Miko Luzi smiled and hit Coral Palace Liuli's little head, and the other party responded stupidly: "I know..."

Then the two came to the tree and looked at the body of Coral Gong Xinhai. Coral Gong Liuli felt sad and her eyes were wet again. Then they saw Miko Luko preparing to pick up the other party's body and quickly let go of Feng Lu Qingchou. , the five-star artifact came to float above her head, she ran forward, stopped in front of the Luzi witch and said: "Aunt Luzi, mother

It’s better for me to hold Mr. Qin’s body, I think…”

"Yes, I understand." Miko Luko nodded and acquiesced to what the other party did. Then Coral Palace Liuli bent down and picked up Coral Palace Xinhai's body. Feeling the coldness from her hands, she felt as if she was being tortured in her heart. It was as if frozen, and then the tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't stop anymore and fell down.

"Don't cry..." Miko Luko took out a clean handkerchief from her chest and wiped the corners of her eyes. Looking at Coral Palace Liuli's puzzled expression, she closed her eyes and sighed, then opened her eyes and said, "My ex When the goddess miko-sama, Xinhai’s mother, passed away, Coral Palace Xinhai did not cry, but silently took the gift of Xinhai.

The position of the Human God Miko was devoted to the work of building Kaiji Island the next day. For the current Human God Miko, the death of the previous one was a return to the embrace of Orobus-sama. We don’t need to be sad... "

"But this..." Coral Gong Liuli blinked her eyes and was about to refute. Looking at Aunt Luzi's expression, she nodded to show that she understood. Although she knew in her heart that these were just words of Aunt Luzi to comfort herself, she did not understand these things. Never experienced it.

In another world, when Coral Palace Ruri's mother Coral Palace Xinhai took over the position of the living Goddess Miko, she was still young and couldn't remember what happened at that time, but it was true that after that, Coral Palace Xinhai became busy. After getting up, the work of raising and caring for Coral Palace Ruri was left in the hands of Miko Luko. After all, she is the next living divine witch.

After a girl reaches the age of twelve or thirteen, she will officially start training to become a goddess and witch. Before that, Coral Palace Xinhai is very busy due to the war, and she always looks tired.

"From now on, will I become like my mother..." Coral Palace Liuli's eyes were gloomy, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but after hearing the muttering from the other party's mouth, Miko Luko smiled and stretched out her hand and placed it on Coral Palace Liuli's head. He touched her gently and said, "Don't worry, I will continue to assist you until you become a qualified presenter."

Until humans, gods and mikos..."

"Well, I will try my best!" Coral Palace Liuli nodded, then hugged Coral Palace Xinhai's body and followed behind Miko Luko.

The two started chatting again on the road, such as how to explain their identity to the outside world. Miko Luko said that she would first explain it by saying that Lord Orobus had given her an urgent blessing. In short, she would make up a lie to cover it up, and then ask the old man of the Coral Palace clan to come forward to calm it down. On the scene, Miko Luko, who was also on the way, had already sent someone to send her mother to Shanxi as soon as possible.

Coral Palace.

Not only that, because it had only been a few years since Coral Palace Xinhai succeeded to the throne, although many elders of the generation of the former goddess shrine maiden, Coral Palace Xinhai’s mother, had retired, they had only been in power for a few years. The prestige is still there, but I, Miko Luko and other mikos in the Coral Palace have been in power for a short time and are too young to be suppressed.

Not to mention the scene, there is not much prestige, and something like this happened just a few years after taking the throne. This is a drastic change that has never happened in Haiji Island in 500 years. Amid the turmoil, I don’t know how many people will take advantage of it. To create a rebellion, the current plan requires the old and new generations of Coral Palace witches to practice their skills to tide over the difficulties and allow Coral Palace Liuli to sit firmly.

Let’s talk about the position of the goddess and witch.

As for Goro, the general of Kaiji Island, he had already dispatched soldiers under the arrangement of Miko Luko to block important nearby passages such as the Coral Palace, and he himself was already waiting at the intersection with his troops.

Sure enough, after bypassing several trees and arriving at the intersection, the person who appeared in front of the two of them was Goro, the general of Haigejima with short yellow-white hair. The dog ears on his head were trembling at this time, and the furry tail behind him was also As he swung and swung, he could see that the other party was in a very uneasy mood.

"Here we come!" After Goro heard the footsteps, he turned around and saw the long ice-blue haired Miko Tsuko and a short loli appear. The aura of the divine witch cannot be faked, but when he lowered his head and saw the girl holding the other person's hands, he closed his eyes in despair and shed a tear.

It slipped from the corner of his eyes, opened his mouth and roared a few times, then sat on the ground sadly, looked up at the sky, and said in disappointment: "How could this happen, how could this happen..."

The soldiers behind him were also in disbelief. Many of them began to whisper, expressing their doubts and sadness. However, after seeing the girl who looked like Coral Palace Xinhai, they felt the aura of the living god and witch in her body, but He became quiet again, and his expression, which had once changed, became relieved.

"Hmm..." Seeing this, Miko Luko nodded with satisfaction. Just now, her eyes flashed across everyone's faces. Seeing that most of them were similar, she felt a little relieved. If something goes wrong with these people, That would be a really bad ending.

"Uncle Goro..." Coral Gong Liuli knew General Goro. After all, he was the next living goddess. When she was naughty as a child, she would run to the military camp to play. At that time, she would be comforted by Goro, and she Then he took the opportunity to steal General Wulang's tail. In the eyes of the young Coral Gong Liuli, Uncle General Wulang was a very good person.

He is a very good person, but this is also the reason why Coral Palace Liuli doesn't know about Miss "Xina".

But in my memory, not long ago, General Goro got married, and the other party decided that his future children would protect Coral Palace Liuli. Coral Palace Liuli also agreed, but it is a pity that he will never see her again...

Although she did make the judgment in Yu Piao Ling, her mind was a bit simple, but there was a gap between top counselors like Coral Palace Xinhai and Yu Piao Ling. However, after calming down, she quickly judged from the conversation with Luzi Miko. The root of everything came out. For unknown reasons, she seemed to have traveled across the world and came to a place with herself.

The world in Teyvat is very similar. Except for Yu Piaoling's identity, which changed from Liyue Sword Immortal to Rice Wife Sword Saint, everything else is pretty much the same.

This also made her not reject it. As for what would happen to the sea island in her original world, Coral Palace Liuli thought that she might have to go back, but there was a strange feeling of peace of mind in her heart, telling her that she didn't have to worry about things in the original world. , because the original world was already XXXXXXXX... Then she no longer considered the matters of the original world, but...

To appear in this world as a human god and a witch with peace of mind.

"General Wulang!" Miko Luzi stepped forward at this time, came to Wulang and said loudly: "Just now, Lord Coral Palace Xinhai and Marshal Yu Piaoling were in danger while visiting Wuxin Waterfall. Coral Palace Xinhai suddenly encountered danger. Master Hai passed away unfortunately, but at the critical moment, the demonic power of Master Orobas in Master Hai in the heart of Coral Palace...

The power appeared and created a child who combined the blood of the two people. She is the person next to me. Her name is "Coral Palace Ruri". She is the next living goddess miko of Kaiji Island. Lord Orobus hopes that Kaiji The island continues to be peaceful, you know what I mean? "

"This..." General Wulang heard the words and looked up at Coral Palace Liuli. When he saw that the other party was like a miniature version of Coral Palace Xinhai, he had no choice but to nod. He naturally knew the cause of the matter, but now that the process was going through, everything must be fair. And make it public, even if you know it is fake, you must continue to act.

The true identity of Coral Palace Liuli is indeed the child of Coral Palace Xinhai and Yupiao Ling. There is no doubt about this. No matter the appearance or the aura of the goddess and witch, it cannot be faked. What’s more, the appearance of the earth vein flower is very likely to be real. It is the great power of Lady Orobas. I must recognize this result and support her to ascend to the throne!

"Great, thank you Lord Orobus! The future of Kaiji Island is saved!" General Goro stood up and cheered, and then the soldiers behind him also nodded and praised openly with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Miko Luko turned to look at Coral Palace Liuli. After the two looked at each other and smiled, under the protection of Goro's team, they returned to the Coral Palace safely.

On the road, Coral Palace Liuli looked at Haiji Island, which was slightly different from the Coral Palace in the parallel world in her memory. In the past, Coral Palace also had many defense measures on the island due to the war. But here, because the war is over, Due to the signing of the peace agreement, the defense measures of the Coral Palace were dismantled, and there were soldiers in many places.

After being disarmed and returning to the fields, they resumed farm work, and the entire Haiji Island exuded a scene of prosperity.

Feeling all this, Coral Palace Ruri smiled from the bottom of her heart, and she knew that she would inherit her mother's wish, become a great living god miko, and protect Kaiji Island until the end of her life. .

Soon, a coffin was delivered. Coral Palace Liuli put the body of Coral Palace Xinhai into it, and then everyone rushed towards the Coral Palace. At this time, there was already a turmoil there. The stubborn old people of the Coral Palace clan and the Iroko Miko The former miko-sama of my mother and others are confronting each other.

They knew the inner cause of the matter, but Coral Palace Xinhai died suddenly, Coral Palace Liuli suddenly appeared, and the whole thing happened in just a few hours. They were eager to know the truth.

The news from the secret whistlers was too outrageous. Whether it was Coral Palace Xinhai being killed by a mysterious enemy that fell from the sky, to the appearance of the Earth Veins Flower, which blossomed and sent out the new living goddess Coral Palace Liuli, everyone felt that things were completely off the mark. .

As for what the secret sentries said about Lord Orobas appearing, they are not sure whether it is true or not, because the Coral Palace has its own regulations. If the former goddess witch dies unexpectedly and has no descendants, she must be selected with the blessing of the Coral Palace clan. Only new gods and witches can appear. How can there be a flower like this now that appears to give new people a gift?

Is it possible that Lord Orobas has already calculated this moment, so he prepared to marry a girl in advance?

In short, no matter what, they have to give an explanation.

Looking at the turbulent Coral Palace in front of her, Coral Palace Liuli turned around and timidly looked up at Luzi Miko, as if she noticed something. She smiled slightly and said to Coral Palace Liuli: "Don't worry, Xiao Liuli, I am the current Coral Palace The great shrine maiden of the palace assistant promised you that you will get through the difficulties, but in the end, you discovered the location of the human god shrine maiden...

... "

"Well, thank you Aunt Luzi. I will take over this position and let the people of Kaiji Island live a happy life just like you trained me."

Coral Palace Liuli responded in a lolita tone, and then the two walked into the Coral Palace.

General Wulang outside looked at this scene, sighed, and ordered: "You should pay attention to each important road. From now on, no one can be allowed to enter the Coral Palace."

"Yes, General Wulang." After obeying the order, the subordinates retreated one after another and found their own positions.

And General Goro also shook his head. He was only in his 20s, and he remembered that he had taken the position of General of Kaijijima a few years ago with his own strength. At that time, he was very high-spirited, for Kaijijima, for fairness, and for freedom. , I have done too much, and now I should be able to say something fair, right?

Then the figure of General Goro followed. As a general in the military, he naturally had his place in it.
