The White Bird of the Daughter Kingdom has never cried, and greets everyone she meets with a smile and full of energy.
But, is this really the case?
Bai Yi's chest felt a little tight.
He knew Baitiao, he was a child with an extremely glassy heart who couldn't stand being hit.
As far as Bai Yi's memory is concerned, once Bai Niao suffers any injustice, he will cry non-stop and run towards him.
She is actually a crybaby, at least in her own eyes.
So, is she really as strong as Luna said?
I'm afraid not.
——
Bai Yi could already think of countless nights when Bai Bird secretly covered himself in the quilt and cried.
It wasn't that she didn't want to cry, she just knew clearly that she couldn't cry.
Because the only brother who could cry with her was not around, she could only hold on and force herself to be strong.
Because my brother is not here, no one will show mercy to me for crying, and no one will help me because of my crying.
Because my brother is not here, there is no point in crying.
After all... no one would fly over to hug me and give comfort like my brother when he heard the cry.
"Brother...I miss you so much..."
In my mind, the phone calls I made a hundred years ago are still in my ears.
After walking a few steps forward, a stone statue of a little boy came into view.
Bai Yi recognized it, it was his ten-year-old self.
"What is this?" he asked knowingly.
"He's Shiratori's brother."
"Why are you here?"
"Shiratori was worried that he would forget his brother's appearance as time went by, so he worked hard on his painting skills for a while.
This statue was carved by the stonemason through her characters.
There are many more in the garden.
I heard people say that the child often talks to the stone statue and talks to himself."
When leaving the garden, Bai Yi's mood became heavier and heavier.
But he didn't say much, he just walked quickly to the White Bird Temple.
The temple of White Bird is right next to the garden. Although it is small in scale, it is valuable for its purity.
There are no tourists in the temple, only the staff responsible for cleaning and maintenance.
Bai Yi came to the lobby and saw the statue of the white bird.
It was made of gold, and there was a large incense burner in front of him, with three sticks of incense and some melon and fruit offerings that had to be replaced every once in a while.
——
"Did you insert this incense?" Bai Yi looked at the staff.
"Yes."
"When was the last time you offered incense? I mean...other than you."
"It was about half a year ago. Her Majesty the Queen came here once. She was still in good health at that time."
"Has it been so long..."
"Sir Shiratori has passed away for a hundred years, and few people still remember her."
"Give me three sticks of incense..."
Bai Yi took the incense, lit it, and put it in the incense burner.
Then he knelt down again, kowtowed three times to the statue, and left.
——
On the way back, he asked Luna:
"How did the white bird die?"
After all, I asked so many related topics before, how could I die if I didn’t ask?
It's inevitably a bit strange.
"The Queen said that he was on a business trip for her and died in the line of duty."
"Died in the line of duty?"
It can be seen that the Queen really cares about White Bird.
After all, as far as Bai Yi knew, Bai Niao took time off to travel and relax, and the gift was just a way to go.
But in order to make White Bird's death more dignified and meaningful, the Queen still chose the reason of dying in the line of duty.
There is no doubt that the Queen does not care for White Bird. As an elder brother, she should cure him for her sister.
——
"Yes, he died in the line of duty." Luna continued:
"It is said that he met the Snow King in a snow mountain, and then they died together using explosion magic."
"What about the body? Has it been found?"
"It took a long time, but fortunately there was still a human form left. The repaired body was in the Queen's hands and has been frozen.
But...it’s strange to say.”
"What?"
"The nearby villagers said they died together with Snow King, but we searched for a long time, but we couldn't find Snow King's body, not to mention the body, not even a fragment."
"You mean...the villagers are lying?"
Bai Yi was stunned. Bird Shang never told him about the disappearance of Snow King's body.
It seems that I have to ask him carefully when I get back.
——
"No, we did find traces of Snow King's existence in the snow mountains, and even found his blood, but we didn't find his body.
If we guessed correctly, someone might have arrived at the scene before us and recovered all of Snow King's body parts.
Of course, the reason why we draw this inference is because that person also helped us."
"What?"
"He put the body together for us, which saved us a lot of time.
After that, our people searched for a long time on the mountain, but found that the white bird's body parts could no longer be found.
The body that the man collected and pieced together was all the fragments that could be found."
——
——
——
After that, the two returned to Lumao's residence.
Seeing that it was getting late, they woke up Lu Mao, and the three of them headed to the queen's residence.
Just when I passed by the door of the medical center, I saw a few familiar faces.
They are the outside doctors at the Tree House Medical Center, including the brave Hua Ling and others.
——
It turns out that not long ago, they also came to Sky Island.
No, just now, they all entered the hospital for a second test.
However, looking at the dejected appearance of these people, the test results are not good either.
"Lucy?"
When the brave men saw Bai Yi, they were surprised at first, and then hurried over.
"How's it going Lucy? Have you been tested?" one person asked impatiently.
Bai Yiyi nodded and said with a smile:
"Just do it, what about you?"
"Hey, don't mention it. This time it's not that difficult at all. Our entire army has been wiped out and we are preparing to go down.
Are you...going to go to the Elf Queen now?"
"Um."
"I really envy you... If only we could be as good as you."
She sighed, and Lily beside her said:
"Well Lucy, we're waiting for you below. By coincidence, we're on our way back, can we come together?"
"Of course that's the best."
——
Their way back was parallel to the way to the Queen's residence.
So it is inevitable for everyone to come together.
On the way, the group will pass by a bamboo forest.
Then just as the front foot entered the bamboo forest, the back foot...
"Da da da..."
The sound of rapid footsteps sounded, and when they came to their senses, everyone was surrounded by a group of fully armed soldiers.
The person who leads it?
He is a black-skinned elf dressed in black, holding a feather fan, with short white hair, and an appearance full of aristocratic temperament.
The skin of this elf is wheat-colored, indicating that it belongs to the dark elf family.
An extremely rare variant among the elves.
Although he looks young with a well-proportioned figure and delicate facial features, his demeanor in every gesture does not look like a vase, but more like an old fox that has gone through countless vicissitudes of life.
Seeing this person, Lu Mao's brows suddenly wrinkled.
She looked at the other party with a bad tone and said:
"Great Imperial Master, what are you doing?"
[Author's digression]: It's the fourth round. The data these days are very important. I beg you not to keep the book.
