    Silent Stars ③

    Lu Rong stared at Feinier for a few seconds, confirming that Feinier really meant what he thought, and laughed again. He really couldn’t imagine that the person who was going to kill him when they first met would reach out and ask him to cut his nails at this moment, as if he completely regarded himself as a pet, or maybe this was how Feinier acted like a spoiled child to his parents when he was young.

    Lu Rong imagined it and found that he couldn’t imagine it at all.But at this moment, he really wanted to know whether Finier would remember today’s scene after he got better, and hoped that the other party would not feel embarrassed by then.

    He sat back on the bed and took Finier’s left hand to help him trim his left nail.

    Fenier’s fingers were long and cold, with thin calluses in many places, probably from his time in the army.Lu Rong finished trimming his nails, then trimmed off the sharper parts of the nails, and then returned his hand to Feinier.

    The cut nails were of different lengths. Except for the thumb, which was slightly shorter, the rest were almost five centimeters long. They were not as thin as human nails, but rather slender and tough, like some kind of ore.

    Lu Rong found a storage box in the medical room, put his nails in, and put it into the cabinet where the scales were kept.

    Fenier remained motionless. He seemed obsessed with pressing the edge of the nail into his palm, repeatedly feeling the feeling after the nail was cut off. It was not until Lu Rong returned to the bed again that he raised his head and reached out in Lu Rong’s direction. He couldn’t find the right place, so he pressed one hand between Lu Rong’s chest and abdomen.

    Lu Rong:……

    Lürong was going crazy. He took off Finier’s hand, which had become very round, and guessed what he wanted to write. He turned on his office optical computer, put it in Finier’s hand, and asked him to write.

    Fenier was writing on the optical brain for a while, and Lu Rong looked down and saw that the writing was very distorted, probably because he couldn’t see it and couldn’t find the position accurately. Lu Rong struggled to read it for a while, and with the help of the intelligent recognition and correction system of the optical brain, he finally recognized it.

    “F6134.”

    With a thought in his mind, Lu Rong looked at Feinier seriously, took Feinier’s hand, and wrote: “Been there?”

    Fenier frowned, thought for a while, and shook his head in confusion.

    Lu Rong carefully looked at Feinier’s expression. It didn’t look like he was lying. He didn’t want to embarrass a patient, so he stopped asking, took back the optical brain, and wrote on Feinier’s palm, “Go to sleep.”

    Fenier tilted his head to understand Lu Rong’s words. After Lu Rong finished writing, he shook his head again, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he didn’t want anyone to notice that he had doubts, but he couldn’t hide his hesitation in speaking.

    Lu Rong guessed what he wanted to ask and wrote on his palm: “What do you want to ask?”

    Finier’s frowned eyebrows spread out and he wrote on the tablet, “Who am I?”

    The treatment room suddenly became too quiet. The stars were shining outside the window. Lu Rong was silent in this silence. He seemed to be immersed in a piece of cold water, which was so heavy that he couldn’t relax.

    Who am I?

    The question is both simple and complex.

    You are Fenier, the sole marshal of the empire, the only vibrant green leaf on the decaying tree of the empire, and perhaps the last member of the royal family after the empire’s demise.

    Lu Rong looked at this question carefully, and countless answers flashed through his mind in an instant.A few minutes later, he looked at Finier again. The other person’s eyes were still unfocused at the moment, and his eyesight had obviously not recovered, but the feeling of confusion was fully revealed in his expression, even with a bit of violation of innocence.

    Lürong opened Feinier’s palm and wrote his name slowly on his palm. He did not write the characters translated from the universal phonetic translation of the Kulkan Empire, but wrote Feinier’s name in the original language of the Quetzalcoatl.

    He once studied Fenier’s race out of curiosity.

    The origin of the feathered serpent is very ancient, and it even has its own language. This language is too complicated to pronounce and cannot be learned by many people in the galaxy. It was abandoned when the Kulkan Empire was founded, and only a few books record it.

    Lurong was quite gifted in languages. In the process of understanding the feathered serpent, he also learned a little bit of the language of the feathered serpent.He accidentally discovered that the name Fenier originated from a word in the ancient language of the Quetzalcoatl, which means that the stars in the ancient sky will never fall.

    A name with a good meaning.

    After Lürong wrote Fenier’s name twice, he saw Fenier’s lips and teeth moving. Fenier seemed to subconsciously want to read his name aloud, but he only made a shallow hiss, and then became silent and confused.

    Lu Rong did not speak, but asked Fenier in his palm, “Did you remember anything?”

    Fenier shook his head slowly, but frowned and looked very confused. He still had questions, but this time he didn’t ask.Lu Rong guessed that the name might have brought him some confusing memories.

    After a while, Finier slowly wrote on the optical brain, “Can I get closer to you?” Because he had already written several times, this sentence was written more correctly than before, and even showed a bit of caution, as if he was asking a very serious question.

    Lu Rong laughed dumbly and couldn’t help but ask in his palm: “Don’t you ask who I am?”

    Fenier seemed to have no doubts about his identity, and wrote firmly on the optical brain: “Your scent is very familiar, smells good, and is safe. You are Katili.”

    What is the card ceremony?

    Lu Rong was stunned. This was a word he had never seen before, at least not in the language of the Quetzalcoatl. Could it mean savior?He speculated.

    X01 also searched quickly in his system, but found nothing.

    Lürong asked in the palm of Feinier’s hand, “What is Katili?”, but Feinier did not answer. His expression was stunned, with a reddish circle around his ears, and he silently withdrew his hand.

    Lu Rong’s mood was indescribably subtle. Considering the situation between him and Feinier, he had some guesses about this word. He honestly wrote on Feinier’s hand: “You misunderstood, I am not. Go to sleep.”

    After Fenier stayed for a few seconds, his expression was lost. After he digested his emotions for a while, he gathered up his frustration, tested a circle on Lu Rong’s bed with his hand, and circled an open space. He did not ask Lu Rong’s opinion, but just lay down quietly, his body curled up slightly, and he tried to close the snake’s tail.

    But the bed in the medical room was not very big, and Fenier’s snake tail was a bit suffocating no matter how it was coiled and curled, and most of it hung down on the ground.He had no choice but to let the injured end of the piece go back to the bed, groping and scratching, finding Lurrong’s body, and wrapping it around his ankle.

    Lu Rong:…?

    The feeling of bones and muscles sticking to the skin gave Rürong goosebumps. He was not used to someone sleeping next to him.

    He couldn’t help but took Finier’s hand and said, “Go back.” After writing, he felt that the words were a bit cold, so he added a “?” at the end.

    Fenier shook his head. He pointed in the direction of the treatment cabin, and then wrote, “cold, hard,” on Lurong’s palm. Then he pointed to the bed, and then wrote, “soft, hot, and comfortable.” After a pause, he wrote, “Smells good.”

    Lu Rong:……

    After Fenier finished writing, he lay down with no intention of moving. Lu Rong stared at him blankly for a while, then sighed quickly.

    The treatment cabin was indeed cold and hard. Lürong also slept there a long time ago. He took a look at Fenier’s tail to confirm that there was no bleeding. In addition, he was really sleepy and did not want to reason with a degenerated feathered serpent late at night, so he went with him.

    Anyway, he won’t do anything to Fenier. It doesn’t make much difference where he sleeps.He comforted himself.

    However, Lu Rong still moved as far as possible to the inside of the bed, drawing a boundary between the two of them, then turned his back to Feinier and fell asleep.

    But this sleep triggered consequences that Lu Rong had never expected. His momentary softness led to a week of night attacks.

    He tried several methods, hoping that Fenier could keep some distance from him at night, but no matter whether it was moving a new bed for Fenier or locking the treatment cabin, it had no effect.

    Fenier has a higher authority on the Sky than Lürong, and the attraction of pheromones is engraved in his instincts. The degraded Fenier obviously has no ability to curb this instinct, and does not understand the difference between AO. Just like a cub who always wants to eat sweets, he will try his best to escape from prison, and will always find a way to find Lürong at night and sleep next to Lürong.

    Lu Rong finally gave up trying. Fortunately, he changed to a larger bed and moved the bed back to the window.

    At night, due to the influence of the fixed biological clock, around the time of sleep, Fenier would leave the treatment cabin and consciously approach Lu Rong’s bedside.

    Lu Rong watched the feathered snake skillfully climb into bed with complicated eyes. He only hoped that after the other party recovered, he would remember his experience of climbing on the bed and not want to kill anyone.

    In the morning, Lu Rong woke up earlier and went to work first.Fenier probably slept for a long time because his body was repairing, and he would not go back to the treatment cabin until he woke up naturally.

    On the morning of the eighth day, Lu Rong woke up early as usual, but the bedside was empty. He guessed that Fenier probably woke up early today and had already returned to the treatment cabin.So, he got up and washed up. When he returned to the medical room, he saw something cocooning on the bed.

    Lu Rong stared at the abnormal bulge for a few seconds, then slowly walked over and lifted the quilt.

    In the darkness under the quilt, a small white snake rolled itself into a small ball. Different from other snakes, this snake had wings on its back. The wings were spread out, covering its entire body, like a round pancake with wings.

    Lu Rong’s action of lifting the quilt brought in the light, and the feathered snake tucked its head under its own wings with some discomfort.

    Lu Rong:?

    There was a winged snake growing out of the quilt, and Lu Rong thought he was dazzled.

    He was silent for two seconds and covered himself with the quilt.

    X01: “?Wait a minute, what is that in the quilt?”

    X01 also saw it, maybe it wasn’t dazzling.Lu Rong frowned, opened the quilt again, and confirmed the scene inside the quilt. The small white feathered snake was still wrapped in his quilt, and even protested dissatisfied with Lu Rong’s behavior.

    It raised its white head from its wings, opened its small mouth, and gave a low “hiss” at Lürong. It was not intimidating, but very cute.

    X01: “Wow! Miniature version of Quetzalcoatl!”

    X01 was a little excited, with eight eyes flashing eight kinds of lights, and he couldn’t help but click the feathered snake ten times in a row.

    X01: “He’s so white! So cute!”

    Lu Rong took a breath of air. He let go of the quilt and immediately contacted Shen Danshi.

    The feathered snake was weighed down by the quilt and felt like it couldn’t breathe. It raised its body and propped up the fallen quilt. It struggled under the quilt for a few times, but failed to struggle out. Instead, it became tangled with the quilt and became a dead knot.

    Lu Rong had a troubled conscience and rescued the feathered snake from under the quilt. The feathered snake climbed onto his hand, just as Shen An arrived.

    Shen Danshi glanced at the feathered snake wrapped around Lu Rong’s wrist, flapping its wings as if it was angry at Lu Rong, and was silent for two seconds.

    “When you hired me, you didn’t say I wanted to be a veterinarian.” Shen Danshi joked helplessly.

    Lu Rong dodged the feathered snake’s flapping wings, “I didn’t expect that one day there would be such a need.”

    She tilted her head and curled her lips, “Fortunately, I took veterinary medicine as an elective.” She put on her gloves neatly, and slowly approached the feathered snake. While the feathered snake’s attention was still on Lurong, she inspected it in detail and quickly.

    “It’s a good thing.” Shen Danshi commented briefly, “The tail has recovered a lot. It should be that the body’s repair mechanism has been triggered normally.”

    “For orcs, the original state is definitely the least labor-intensive. The smaller the body, the easier it is to recover. However, when the tail is seriously injured, it is impossible to fully transform into a beast. Only when the tail injury is almost healed can it be transformed into a beast.”

    While listening to Shen Danshi’s words, Lu Rong held the feathered snake’s flapping wings with his hands and gently smoothed the feathers on the small white wings. The feathered snake seemed to like this kind of touch. The anger caused by the failed fight with the quilt was stuck. It shook its wings, as if it didn’t know whether it should continue to be angry.

    “He seems to be able to see.” Lu Rong recalled the scene when he just lifted the quilt, “and reacts to light.”

    “After turning into a beast, you should be more inclined to the living habits of snakes. Snakes’ hearing relies on the perception of vibrations, and their vision may have some light perception. Others,” Shen Dan glanced at Lu Rong, “Probably he can only notice your green eyes and body temperature.”

    While Shen Dan was talking, Lu Rong had successfully comforted the feathered snake. The tail coiled around his wrist was loosened a little. The feathered snake pressed against his arm and moved to his shoulder. Its head lay on the base of his neck without moving, and it wrapped the remaining tail around Lu Rong’s upper arm. It looked very… a little snake.

    Shen Dan raised his eyebrows and smiled, “I’m very good at finding places. It’s a place with a high concentration of pheromones.”

    Lu Rong:……

    Shen Yan took off the gloves on his hands and threw them into the medical trash can aside. “Speaking of which, your pheromones may not only help his gland problems, but also help his recovery from injuries.”

    “I read some literature last night. In the earliest days, the feathered serpent race was a polyandrous race. Their reproduction needs were very high. During the period of intercourse, the spouse’s pheromones can not only assist in marking, but also promote body recovery.”

    Lu Rong felt the teasing in Shen Danshi’s words, and he sat at the table by the window. “Obviously, we and I just have a simple pheromone supplement relationship.” He said confidently.

    Shen Dan smiled and continued: “However, after entering the great interstellar era, especially after the establishment of the empire, the feathered snake gradually developed the habit of being extremely loyal to its partner. It is rare to see polyandrous feathered snakes. There may be primitive feathered snakes on A311 that retain such habits.”

    Lu Rong moved his arm and pointed at the feathered snake who was about to fall asleep on his shoulder, “Should he go to the treatment cabin? It seems that he can’t recover quickly if he stays here.”

    “Now that his own recovery mechanism has begun to take effect, the treatment cabin is not so necessary. But speaking of this,” Shen Danshi changed the topic, “I received an invitation this morning, inviting me to attend the Xingzhou dinner in the fifth time zone, Future Star, in a week. It is said that a batch of neurotrophic drugs will be sold on site.”

    “I plan to go there. Future Star’s neurotrophic drug is very effective and will be very helpful for the next treatment of Quetzalcoatl.” Shen Danshi said with her hands crossed. Although she was reporting to Lu Rong, she had already decided to go.
