34, Chapter Thirty-Four(1/2)
The Eastern branch shows its nobility with single-character names, and each word contains different meanings, entrusting the care and expectations of parents and relatives. Some are named "mountain" or "tree" to protect children with natural objects;
The names "dragon" and "phoenix" are to seek the favor of totem beasts; the most special type of name has the meaning of emperor, and this type of name only belongs to the most noble of nobles——
The emperor's son from the east whose destiny lies.
The emperor's sons rotate with death as the boundary. They are usually humans. Dark creatures are the emperor's sons. This is the first time Arecio has heard of it.
Arecio knew this, so he asked.
"Emperor's son?"
"Yes... now it only has a ceremonial role..." I narrowed my eyes, "Actually, just treat me as an ordinary person. I just have a pretty special name."
When he was talking, the paper charm attached to his forehead was fluttering. Arecio looked a little want to laugh. I seemed to have realized something, and immediately took out a small clip from my pocket, clipped the paper charm and pinned it on
On his head, he puffed up his cheeks towards Arecio.
Arecio:...Pfft.
This time Arecio came to see me for something, so of course he was the one to treat me to afternoon tea. After the caregiver left, he lit the stove in the cafeteria, and the cafeteria specially prepared many kinds of oriental snacks, which were paired with fragrant tea.
Although Recio didn't have much contact with the Eastern tribe ten thousand years ago, he can appreciate the food culture of various places and is very proficient in making snacks and drinking tea. I was very surprised.
"Does Aresi know how to use chopsticks? I'll treat Aresi to hot pot next time!" He said with a smile, "I'll bring special ingredients for the pot, it will be very fragrant! Let's invite Helgodon and Lu
West!"
I am undoubtedly the most normal and outgoing dark creature that Arecio has ever seen. He even once felt that he was talking to a normal dark creature from ten thousand years ago. If it weren't for the lightness that was revealed during the conversation, Ah,
Lesio almost mistakenly recognized it.
However, this level is quite rare, which makes Arecio a little more confident about what he is going to talk about today.
"What I want to say is about the Federation of Dark Creatures." Arecio put down the tea cup and clasped his fingers on his lap. He raised his red pupils and looked at his eyes so close that I felt as if I was staring for a while.
Blade.
"Ai Li said that you are one of the vice-presidents of the Federation of Dark Creatures. I would like to ask what the Federation does on a daily basis?"
I thought about it seriously.
"Organize some activities and the like... Some dark creatures are very keen to be organizers, and the center will fund and sponsor them to hold various activities, most of which are for the dark creatures."
"Also, all important decisions about dark creatures need to go through the Federation. The "Federal Dark Creatures Protection Act" was ultimately passed by the Federation with a unanimous vote." I am obviously very familiar with these, and he raised the question again.
An example is, "Lucy will no longer have a caregiver until she is mentally stable. This decision was also approved by the Federation."
Arecio listened carefully and finally asked:
"Have you ever vetoed any bills or decisions?"
I was stunned, but then, he showed a faint smile.
"I see what you mean, Aresi."
He lowered his head to think, as if he was organizing words. After a while, he raised his head again and glanced in the direction of his caregiver. At that distance, his caregiver was chatting with Ellie and did not pay attention to the conversation in this direction. The dark creature
Of course he has freedom of speech, he just... doesn't want to hurt his caregiver, because before Arecio appeared, all his ideas could be called deviant.
Some people may want to laugh, obviously they already have enough food and clothing, and they are already in the spotlight, so why do they still want any change? But I feel that at least many of the dark creatures he knows have hopes of changing the status quo.
Arecio is like a fire, resurrected from thousands of years ago and about to ignite the fire of change.
He has seen the future of a prairie fire.
"Aresi," he asked softly, "do you want to change?"
Arecio turned his eyes to look at him, and saw me slowly standing up, rolling up my wide sleeves like bird wings. Across a round table, he brought the most beautiful plate of snacks in front of him to Arecio.
Arecio was a little confused. He didn't know what I meant, so he took the snack hesitantly.
"I'll give it to you for free!" I said simply, "Take me one!"
Being caught off guard, Arecio looked confused. He subconsciously picked up a piece of snack and put it into his mouth. Opposite me, I was sure that Arecio had eaten his snack, so I sat down again with confidence and started to grope around on my body.
Explore.
Finally, he took out a stack of business cards and gave one to Arecio. Arecio took it and looked at it. The business card was actually handwritten. It looked like it was the result of division of labor and cooperation. There was one line written in round and bold fonts.
Word--
【Dark Creatures Alliance.】
My name should be smaller and embroidered at the bottom. Aresio looked at his position and saw that he was still the deputy leader, which is disrespectful.
"Although I am the vice-president of the Federation, I want to say that the Federation of Dark Creatures has almost no decision-making and execution capabilities. It is an organization in name only." I made a foreshadowing first, and his tone seemed very reliable at this time.
Calm, "There was no investigation or multiple meetings on a proposed bill. No one objected at the only meeting, no one put forward better opinions, and no one even abstained..."
"I don't understand politics or anything, but I know that this is the result of most dark creatures voluntarily giving up thinking."
He originally spoke in a heavy tone, enumerating all the shortcomings of the Federation of Dark Creatures, but suddenly the topic changed and he suddenly became light-hearted.
"But our Dark Creature Alliance is very reliable!"
"..."
"Wow, you are so indifferent! Shouldn't it be a bit overwhelming at times like this?"
"..."
"This is an organization jointly founded by our dark creatures who are determined to change the status quo! Because I gave it to you for free, it is equivalent to you! Aresi! I have an extra pair of wings!"
Arecio, who had an extra pair of wings, supported his forehead with one hand and held a business card in the other, silently watching me enthusiastically welcome him to join the team. Although it is good to know that some dark creatures have changed their minds, but what I said,
The reliability of the alliance, which is different from the federation, is really worrying.
He turned the business card to me and pressed a certain word with his fingertips.
"This word is spelled wrong."
"Alas!!!"
I languidly put the paper charm on my head back down to cover my face, and lay on the table. Arecio pushed back the snacks I had provided him and asked him to eat some too. I shook my head and was decadent for a while.
Son, cheer up again.
"It's a bit late today. Tomorrow, I will take you to the Emerald Inland Sea to meet our leader, even if you join the organization!"
Arecio then turned his sight through the floor-to-ceiling windows to the emerald inland sea. There are also a large number of dark creatures inhabiting the inland sea, but most of them are like sea snakes and do not have human intelligence, unless...
With his excellent eyesight, Arecio saw the two bright and huge "corals" standing quietly on the sea.
He seemed to...know what race the alliance leader was.
"Then, Aresi, we'll meet here tomorrow."
I thought it was a good deal, so I said goodbye to Arecio happily. His caregiver was a beautiful woman with a very oriental charm, and she bowed slightly to say goodbye to Arecio. I walked out of the cafeteria and said goodbye.
People greeted him on the road, and he was able to call everyone by name and even chat about their current situation.
Arecio watched him leave and looked down at the round table. There was a tilted paper crane left on the table, which seemed to be folded from some book pages and covered with words. He unfolded the page and thought it was similar to a hand-painted business card.
After seeing the content clearly, I paused.
The dinner that night was a little different. It was not delivered by the center, but became a dinner that Madman bought the ingredients and cooked by himself.
As for the taste…
After the meal, Lucius threw the bowl into the dishwasher. When he turned around, he saw the vampire lying dead on the sofa.
"...It's delicious." Arecio said, still not satisfied, "Have another bowl."
Lucius glanced at him lightly and took out the washed dishes one by one and put them away.
"Half a week's supply has been eaten. Should I be lucky that you are a vampire? You won't be starved to death."
Arecio is short-tongued, so keep your mouth shut and don't share his common sense.
"Why do you think of cooking by yourself?" After a while, he finally couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.
"Since you can forage for your own food, why bother being a nestling waiting to be fed?" Lucius finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out with a plate of fruit. The fruits were placed on the table and specially sealed with the Holy Light. Only two were allowed a day.
In order to prevent the vampires from eating them all tonight.
Arecio thought about it, why would the center deliver meals when a saint who had completed all the bridal courses was living with him.
"In exchange for my cooking and cleaning the kitchen, you will loosen the soil in the flower garden tomorrow."
"...Why do you have to let me loosen the soil?"
"I want to cultivate your relationship with the radishes so that you don't dig them out and make them into potted plants again."
Arecio is not convinced anymore. Isn’t his potted plant pretty?
"I know you are not convinced." Lucius said calmly, "But do you know how big the tomatoes will grow after the improved varieties? From now on, when you get up every day, tomatoes will be within reach... I actually feel happy when I think about that scene.
, okay, I’ll give it to you.”
Arecio doesn't want it anymore!
After a while of tearing the tomato pots apart, Arecio remembered what he wanted to say and took out the page I gave him.
"I have a new idea."
