The leader of the foreign army of the Chimera Tribe looked almost identical to his father, Sauron.
The word 'father', Lan Ling (Søren) almost blurted out.
Although Count Sauron wasn't his real father, Lan Ling felt that he was a very great man.
Not only that, but he also had a strong sense of identity with the Suo Clan.
Although he had returned to his identity as Lan Ling, his name was mostly just a code name. In his mind, in this world, Tianshui City was his home, and the Suo Clan was his clan.
In that case, Count Sauron was also his father.
Even Dina noticed the strangeness of Lan Ling. She then carefully looked at the faces of Lan Ling and her adoptive father.
Then, she was surprised to find that the two of them actually looked quite similar.
She didn't feel it when she looked at them individually, but when the two of them stood together, she found that their facial features were really similar.
However, her adoptive father was heroic and majestic, while Lan Ling was handsome and exquisite.
Moreover, after Lan Ling demonized, his face also changed a lot, becoming more like a demon. Therefore, when Dina first saw him, she didn't feel that he looked like her adoptive father.
Therefore, this kind of resemblance could only be seen by very close people.
"Adoptive father, do you have a lost son?" Dina asked.
The eyes of the foreign army's leader fell on Lan Ling's face and said, "There is indeed some resemblance, especially the facial outline. However, I don't have a son."
Lan Ling put away the shock in his heart and asked with a trembling voice, "May I ask if you are a human?"
"Of course not..." The foreign army's leader said, "I am from the Suo Clan!"
Then, his eyes suddenly twisted and he clenched his fists.
"Kacha …" Instantly, countless scales grew out of his skin. They were incomparably hard, almost impervious to swords and spears.
Lan Ling was stunned and said, "May I ask what your name is?"
"Suo Mo!" The leader said.
His surname was actually Suo? What was going on?
Lan Ling said, "May I ask, how old are you this year?"
"Fifty-six years old!" Suo Mo said.
That's right, the same age as Count Sauron.
"Why? Little brother, do I remind you of an old friend? "Suo Mo asked.
Lan Ling nodded and said, "You two look almost the same. If it wasn't for the fact that the old friend has passed away and that you are from a different race, I would have thought that you two are the same person."
If it was before, Lan Ling might have thought that it was a coincidence.
However, there was a reason why Suo Ningbing looked exactly the same as Lan Kou. It was the work of the Divine Dragon Temple, and it was a bait to lure out the Fiend Star Lord.
Thus, Lan Ling firmly believed that there was no coincidence in this world.
"Are … are you sure you're not a human? Or maybe you were once a human, but because of some mutation, you became like this?" Lan Ling asked hoarsely.
Suo of the, Lan Ling, He. "Suo, Lan Ling," Lan Ling Ling, said.
Then, he brought Lan Ling and Dina out of the casualty camp and entered the cave he lived in. Dina stood outside the cave as a sentry and didn't let anyone enter.
Suo Mo poured a cup of wine for Lan Ling and said, "This is brewed from bad fruits. The taste isn't good. Ordinary people might have diarrhea after drinking it, but it doesn't matter to us descendants of demons."
Lan Ling took it and smelled it. As expected, it was a very bad wine. There was almost a rancid smell.
But Suo Mo drank it like a supreme delicacy and was full of reluctance after drinking it.
Lan Ling drank it in one gulp and closed his eyes. This was the worst wine he had ever drunk. The first sip was almost unbearable, but the aftertaste wasn't bad.
"Child, you said that I look like an old friend. Is that person your father?" Suo Mo asked.
Lan Ling hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Suo Mo said, "He is no longer in this world?"
Lan Ling nodded and said, "Yes, he has been dead for more than four years."
Suo Mo said, "Strictly speaking, I'm not from the Suo Race. I don't even know what race I am. I'm an orphan and didn't know who my parents were since I was young. I was raised by a couple from the Suo Race. My body was covered in scales since I was young. It wasn't until I started practicing martial arts in my teens that the scales gradually faded away. "
After saying that, Suo Mo poured another cup of wine for Lan Ling. He originally wanted to pour a cup for himself, but after hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't bear to do it and closed the bottle.
He actually treated this kind of inferior wine like a treasure and couldn't bear to drink it.
Lan Ling couldn't help but carefully taste this inferior wine and cherish it.
Suo Mo continued, "The Suo Race is a race that is close to humans and is very similar to humans. It isn't far from the Savage Canyon in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Like other races that are close to humans, the Suo Race appears to be very gentle. Even though they aren't far from human countries, they rarely have disputes and love peace. They like to hunt, fish, and even farm. Even though I'm not from the Suo Race, my adoptive parents treat me as their own. Even though I look different from the children of the Suo Race, those children always play with me. I have many good friends in the Suo Race. "
Seeing that Suo Mo's eyes were starting to turn red, Lan Ling passed him the remaining half a cup of wine.
Suo Mo hesitated for a moment before taking a sip of the inferior wine and continuing, "The martial arts of the Suo Race aren't strong. Therefore, when I was in my twenties, I became a rare expert in the Suo Race. My chieftain has betrothed his only daughter to me. Of course, it was useless even if he didn't allow it because she slept with me when I was 17. "
Immediately, Lan Ling thought of his father Sauron. He was practically slept with by Queen Yan Chao'er.
Suo Mo said, "The days passed peacefully and happily. My beautiful wife and I had a daughter named Dina."
Lan Ling recalled that the third leader of the foreign race, that black lady, was called Dina.
But there was no doubt that she wasn't Suo Mo's biological daughter.
Suo Mo said, "You know that my wife is going to inherit the position of the Suo Race chief. Therefore, our daughter has to follow her surname. And I became the hunting chief of the Suo Race. It sounds very ordinary, right? Actually, it's already the highest position in the Suo Race, second only to the chief. One day, I still brought the hunting squad to hunt in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Perhaps you don't know, but every time we hunt, it takes a long time. It can be as short as half a month or as long as three months. And that time, the hunt was very long. It took no less than three months and we were more than 500 kilometers away from home. "
At this point, Suo Mo's face started to twitch and his eyes started to turn red. He took a deep breath.
"By the time I returned home, there was already... no Suo Race left. More than 17,000 Suo Race members were all dead. They were skinned and their flesh was cut off to be used as food." Suo Mo's voice was like broken sandpaper. He seemed to have used all his strength to suppress the pain in his heart and said in a trembling voice, "My adoptive parents, my chief, my wife, my daughter Dina... are all dead. At that time, she was only six years old!"
Lan Ling's eyes turned red. He forcefully held back the tears in his heart and said, "Who was the murderer?"
"The army of Devil Sovereign," Suo Mo replied.
"Devil Sovereign?" Lan Ling was stunned. He had never heard of this name before.
"He was the most terrifying sovereign of the Savage World. His army had already annihilated countless races and tribes. He had already ruled over thousands of kilometers of territory and established the most powerful Devil Sovereign Empire in the Savage World." Suo Mo said, "He said that all of the Near Human Race were lowly bastards. In the future, when he had a war with the human nations, all of the Near Human Race would become traitors of the Savage World. Therefore, his army swept through the entire Savage World in the north and practically wiped out most of the Near Human Race tribes in the north. He killed millions of Near Human Race tribes. "
Upon hearing this, Lan Ling was immediately stunned.
He had originally thought that the entire Savage Race was completely scattered like sand. He didn't expect that there would actually be a peerless Devil Sovereign who had actually unified thousands of kilometers of territory and established the powerful Devil Sovereign Empire.
Suo Mo said, "Originally, I wanted to go to the Devil Sovereign Empire alone to take revenge. Even if I couldn't even enter their gates, I would be dismembered. But... I found a group of children in a cellar. There were hundreds of Suo children. When the war happened, they were hidden in a secret cellar. "
Lan Ling said, "Was Dina in the cellar?"
"She wasn't!" Suo Mo said, "Dina was the heir to the Suo Chief. She was immediately..."
Lan Ling hurriedly said, "What happened after that?"
Suo Mo said, "After I found these children, I couldn't die. I had the responsibility to protect them and lead them to find a new home. The Devil Sovereign Empire's influence has been spreading. In the future, the entire Savage World in the north will become their sphere of influence. Within the sphere of influence of the Devil Sovereign Empire, Near Human Race will have no place to live. Therefore, I took the children on a boat and headed south along the coast. We kept heading south... "
Lan Ling could imagine what kind of life a man would have to lead hundreds of children on the sea.
Suo Mo said in a trembling voice, "Even though I used all my strength, the children still kept dying at sea. When I landed again, there were already less than half of the children left. However, I finally left the sphere of influence of the Devil Sovereign Empire. I took the children to wander in the Savage World in the south, wanting to find a new home. However, you also know how xenophobic the entire Savage World is. There was no place for me in the tens of thousands of kilometers of territory. "
Perhaps some people would say that they could find a mountain and settle down.
This was impossible. The ferocious beasts of the Savage World were far more ferocious and powerful than the Barbarians.
All the Barbarians had to form a tribe and live together in order to survive. Otherwise, they would die without a doubt.
"The children kept dying, but new people kept coming in. You also know that there are killings everywhere in the Savage World. Almost every month, a tribe will be exterminated. Every time there is a war, there will be new wanderers. " Suo Mo said painfully, "Just like that, the children by my side changed wave after wave. After a few years, I don't know how many times the children by my side changed, but I was still wandering."
Lan Ling couldn't imagine how painful that kind of life was. He could only watch helplessly as the children died one by one.
Suo Mo said, "This kind of exile lasted until 19 years ago. During a hunt, I accidentally saved a young chief. His name was Constantine, and he was the chief of the Chimera Tribe. In return, he took me and over 100 children in. This was the embryonic form of the foreign race army. From then on, I settled down in the Chimera Tribe. "
Lan Ling said, "Then how did the foreign race army develop to over 1,000 people?"
Suo Mo said, "You know that the Chimera Tribe has a sacred volcano. Every year, they have to sacrifice fresh people. The Chimera Tribe has a limited number of people. If they sacrifice people every year, the population of the entire tribe will decrease. Therefore, they thought of a plan that would satisfy both sides. The Chimera Tribe accepted the exiles of the foreign race, but they had to go through the trial of the Heavenly Eye. "
Lan Ling said, "In other words, they actually wanted to trick these people into dying and sacrificing them to the volcano."
Suo Mo said, "Yes, but at least a dozen people would survive and join the foreign race army every time."
Lan Ling said, "Dina calls you adoptive father. When did she experience the trial of the Heavenly Eye?"
"18 years ago. At that time, Dina was only seven years old." Suo Mo said, "She went into exile with her parents and came to the Chimera Tribe. At that time, the shaman priest felt that a family of three was too much of a burden, so the whole family was thrown into the volcano. Her parents weren't so lucky. They weren't descendants of demons, so they were burned alive. Only Dina survived. When I heard her crying, I jumped down to take a look. Her parents used four hands to raise her up high to prevent her from being burned to death by the magma. They were continuously sinking, and Dina's back had already been scorched by the magma. She was only seven years old at that time and couldn't bear such pain, so she cried with all her might. However, because she had the blood of demons, she wasn't burned to death. I saved her and adopted her. Because I didn't know her name, I named her Dina. "
Lan Ling thought for a while and said, "Is there a possibility? A certain noble in a human country gave birth to a pair of twins with a demon woman. One of them was a human, and the other was a demon. "
His meaning was very clear. Suo Mo and Count Sauron were twin brothers.
However, because Suo Mo had the bloodline of demons, his body was covered in scales, so he definitely couldn't survive in a human country. In order to protect him, his parents sent him to the Suo Race in the Savage World and let them adopt him.
Suo Mo said, "Am I really the same as your father?"
Lan Ling nodded and said, "Exactly the same."
Suo Mo hesitated for a long time and said, "He's the lord of Tianshui City in a human country, Count Sauron?"
Lan Ling trembled and said, "You... you know him?"
Suo Mo shook his head and said, "I've only... heard of him, but never seen him!"
From his tone, Lan Ling could hear another part of the story. That was because the Suo Race was too close to Tianshui City at that time.
"Then why are you called Suo Mo?" Lan Ling asked.
Suo Mo hesitated for a moment before taking out a golden lock from his bosom.
This kind of golden lock was a longevity lock that children wore around their necks. There were two words engraved on it: Suo Mo.
"Uncle..." Lan Ling knelt down on the spot.
Suo Mo's eyes trembled, and tears finally rolled down his cheeks. He stretched out his hand and stroked Lan Ling's head. He closed his eyes in pain and said, "When I was a teenager, I … I almost went to the human kingdom to look for my biological parents. And the only clue was this longevity lock. But... I didn't go in the end. Because... I just passed through the Myriad Mountains when countless humans came to hunt me. "
Subsequently, Suo Mo said, "Child, you should be the successor of Tianshui City. Why are you here?"
A strand of dark pain instantly appeared in Lan Ling's eyes.
"Don't say anymore..." Suo Mo stopped him and said, "My story is already painful and sorrowful enough. I'm old and perhaps I can't bear another painful story."
Suo Mo took a deep breath, rubbed Lan Ling's head, and said solemnly, "Child, I don't care why you've come here, but from today onward, you're my child. I'll always protect you until the day I die!"
Subsequently, Suo Mo asked, "Child, how old are you?"
Lan Ling was stunned and shook his head. "I don't know because I don't know how long I've been dead. Perhaps 24 years old!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the tears that Suo Mo was holding back flowed out once more. He turned around and said, "Dina, come in and meet your younger brother!"
