Hao Ren's words silenced everyone in the living room. Even Lily, who had always been more open-minded, did not expect the landlord to find the Orb of the Holy Synod while he was out for a meeting. Becky was even more confused. "What orb?"
"Have you become stupid after spending so much time on Earth?" Hao Ren looked at Becky helplessly. "Of course it's the Orb of the Holy Synod from The Plane of Dreams. Back then, you were counting on it to buy a garden house within the third ring of the capital. I found it. It's in the home of the little green men. Even the four ascetics are still alive."
Becky then came to her senses. She exclaimed and rushed to Hao Ren's side like a small whirlwind. "S-S-S-S-The Orb of the Holy Synod?! What's going on?! "
Hao Ren then told them everything that he had heard in the meeting today. He also mentioned the possible reason why the Orb of the Holy Synod landed on the planet of the little green men. However, the few of them did not care how the orb landed there. They only cared about what the orb looked like. Becky clapped her hands and her face was full of joy. "Oh, that's great. If I bring the orb back, I can at least be conferred a knight. If I'm lucky, I might even be conferred a noble title... I'll even get a suite... Hehe, hehehe..."
Hao Ren saw that the greedy mercenary was about to lose her mind. Although he could not bear to see it, he still reminded her carefully. "Well... it's useless for you to have a house and a noble title now. You can only spend ten days in your hometown every time..."
Becky suddenly came to her senses. Her expression changed, and the joy in her eyes turned into hatred. She grabbed Hao Ren's arm and gritted her teeth. "I suddenly want to fight you to the death now …"
Hao Ren broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly comforted her. At least Becky didn't chop him up on the spot. But come to think of it, Becky was really unlucky. Becky did not have many hobbies in her life, but she was greedy for money and liked to brag to boost her reputation. When she first went to look for the Orb of the Holy Synod, she was aiming for both fame and fortune. Now that her dream had finally come true, she found out that she had to look at her watch even when she went back to her hometown to brag... Truth be told, the only thing worse than her situation was being bestowed with a surname after her death.
"Anyway, let's retrieve the Orb of the Holy Synod first." Hao Ren noticed that Becky had calmed down, so he quickly changed the subject to divert her attention. "And the four eminent monks."
The "ascetics" in the Plane of Dreams were, of course, not the monks that Hao Ren remembered. They were church knights who took the path of asceticism. Strictly speaking, they were similar to combat priests who abided by the precepts. But, Hao Ren still made up the story and called the four "eminent monks". Becky was too lazy to correct this little cultural mistake. The mercenary girl was still sad. In order to commemorate the "posthumous" title and fiefdom, she had no time for other things.
After Hao Ren confirmed that Becky would follow him to the planet of the little green men tomorrow, he casually asked the others if they wanted to go. As expected, everyone jumped out in excitement. Of course, Y 'zaks, as a mature and steady big brother, did not jump out. But apparently, this great demon with a far-sighted mind and the consciousness of the stars was also very interested in the aliens. He scratched his bald head and laughed. "I think I have a lot in common with the aliens. If the idiots back home could spend half of their energy on exploration like the little green men, maybe they would have rushed out of the solar system a long time ago."
The trip to the Kabbalah Commonwealth was a risk-free, public … business trip, and it was not a problem to bring all of them along. So, Hao Ren agreed without hesitation. He also introduced the strange customs of the Little Green Men to them, especially the "as far as you can go, the farther you die," while they were eating. Even the knowledgeable Vivian was amazed by such a magical cultural difference. Only Y 'zaks smirked and said, "Sometimes cultural differences are like that. Many of my kind have given themselves the title of' Evil So-And-So '. In the traditional demon culture, these three words have a positive connotation, meaning that they can bring the greatest fear to humans. Of course, I'm not into that. "
The next day, at half past eight in the morning, Hao Ren and his friends were ready to depart for Kuiper Station, especially Lily. She was dressed to the nines as if she was going on a holiday. Of course, to her, it was indeed a holiday. Vivian had also changed into her good clothes (Hao Ren bought it for her, she treasured it). She could not help but snort when she saw Lily's excited look. "Isn't it just a recovered tail? Why are you so happy?"
Lily wagged her tail vigorously. "I'm happy! If you can, grow a tail too! "
Vivian spread her wings and said, "Fly if you can!"
Hao Ren was speechless. These two really did not change. They had only been at peace for a few days, and now they were fighting over this inexplicable thing again. But then again... was this a sign that they were on good terms?
As they were going to an alien planet, and even Kuiper Station was not Earth's turf, no one was afraid of their identity being exposed. Lily wagged her tail behind her, Vivian's red eyes glimmered, and even Becky had put on her majestic mercenary outfit when she first came to Earth, considering meeting the venerable ascetic. Only Nangong Wuyue and Y 'zaks remained in their human form. Both of them were too big, and they could not even enter the portal in their original form. Nangong Wuyue, on the other hand, was in her mermaid form, but she was not as skilled as Lil Pea when it came to jumping on the ground...
Speaking of Lil Pea, Hao Ren could not help but turn his head to look at the baby fish hanging on his arm. The foot-long little guy was clinging tightly to his sleeve, and her body was lying comfortably in the crook of his arm. Hao Ren looked down at her, and Lil Pea immediately hummed softly and patted her tail as a greeting. She also expressed her determination to not get down even if she died.
Since it was not a dangerous place, he might as well bring the little guy along.
Only one person did not come along, and that was the temporary lodger, Hesperides. The shrewd nymph of the evening realized that this strange family had something special and secret to do, so she took her leave in advance. Her body had fully recovered, and the Athens sanctuary was in urgent need of the Ancient One to help with the post-disaster reconstruction. So, Vivian did not ask her to stay.
However, Hao Ren knew that as he delved deeper into the ten-thousand-year feud between the demon hunters and the otherworldlings, he, Hesperides, and Hessiana would have many opportunities to meet in the future.
After sending Hesperides off, the rest of them came to Kuiper Station as if they were on a spring outing. Due to the limited size of the teleportation device at home, they had to teleport twice before all of them could get there. LuLu was shocked when she saw them. The little guide had probably never seen such an atmosphere in her entire life...
Kabala was still at Kuiper Station with a group of little green men. They were here specifically to deal with the wrecked spaceship. Before the matter was resolved, they would be stationed at the space station as negotiators for a long time. Due to the unique political structure of the Kerbalians and their racial nature, Kabala, the "Grand Commander of the Commonwealth" in name, did not have many important matters to attend to. It was not a big deal for him to be absent from time to time. Strictly speaking, the most important person in their country was the Minister of the Universe Development Department, and Kabala had been forced out of that position by his wife for many years...
The Kabala Commonwealth had a high degree of autonomy. The "landing" of the Orb of the Holy Synod was not on the main planet of the Commonwealth, but on another colonial planet. So, they could just look for the governor of that planet. After Hao Ren greeted Kabala, he led a group of people to the governor. He was the little green man who told Hao Ren about the Orb yesterday. His name was Tamula.
However, Hao Ren felt that it was pointless to remember the names of these little green men. To him, most of them looked the same. These alien creatures with big heads and green skin did not have distinguishable features like humans (except Koreans). Hao Ren could only remember the names of some little green men through some "unorthodox methods", such as Kabala. Kabala's skin was slightly more yellow, and that was the only difference between him and the other little green men.
He did not know if the little green men could distinguish between humans, but... probably not.
At the very least, it was not a problem to distinguish the people that Hao Ren brought along. They were all very distinctive. Even if they did not use any color, you could still recognize them!
In order to shorten the voyage, Hao Ren declined Tamula's offer to let them ride on his spacecraft. Instead, he led everyone, including Tamula and some of his entourage, onto the Petrachelys. This official spacecraft was made by the Empire. It was so fast that no mortal race in the universe could catch up to it. Especially after the main engine was removed and the spacecraft entered high-speed warp mode, the word "speed" could no longer be used to describe its speed. It had almost become a pure mathematical process.
Solving a spatial equation would allow one to reach any corner of the universe. To Hao Ren, the Orb of the Holy Synod was a big deal. He flew the spacecraft at full speed.
Soon, the Petrachelys arrived at their destination. It was a galaxy two million light years away from the Milky Way.
The Kerbal Civilisation Sphere was the sole ruler of this galaxy.
On the bridge, Tamula happily introduced the galaxy to everyone. "I am very proud to introduce my home to you. This is the Kerbal Nebula. Our explorers have died in every corner of this galaxy. It is our glorious territory..."
Everyone at the scene felt that cultural differences were simply too incomprehensible …
