Fang Hong listened and seriously nodded: "I understand, I will protect Tang Xin, and myself too."
Tang Sheng then nodded in satisfaction.
After talking for a while, Tang Sheng noticed that it was getting late, and just like on Earth, he reminded him to go to bed early, then bid him farewell and ended the call.
Fang Hong couldn't help scratching his head. On Earth, his daily routine with Tang Xin was very regular, sleeping and waking up at fixed tis. But ever since living on his own, he's been like a wild horse off the leash, often flipping day and night, but hey, young people always have that kind of energy.
Besides, while adventuring in Eteliria, not even ntioning taking night shifts, it's almost impossible to sleep on ti every day.
Speaking of which, his cousin is a typical model in everyone's eyes, the so-called other people's excellent child—yet over here, she's gradually picked up his bad habits. He still doesn't know how to explain it to his aunt when they return to Earth.
After turning off the communicator, he couldn't help yawning, his eyelids almost fighting against each other—after traveling hard all the way from Tansnier, they hadn't rested much, and he spent half a day researching notes after seeing the Princess. He was already quite exhausted.
He closed his notebook, carefully put it away, and prepared to go to bed early. Back in the room, Luo Hao, Parker, and Xiangzi were still pretty energetic, playing the ancient card ga of Landlord on the bed, a form of entertainnt that's persisted for over a century—and because card reproduction is very easy, it has spread across Colin Ishurian.
"Pair of twos!"
"Can't beat that."
"Bomb!"
Parker jumped three feet high off the bed, tossing his cards onto the blanket.
Luo Hao, enraged, slapped him backward, making the little guy roll around like a tumbleweed, angrily shouting, "Xiangzi's the landlord, are you a mole? This is the second ti already!"
"Got it wrong, got it wrong!" Parker quickly begged for rcy.
The three of them saw Fang Hong walk in and asked if he wanted to join—in fact, Fang Hong was quite speechless about this card-playing trio. He didn't even know how this card ga spread within the Seven Seas Travel Group. Lately, Xiangzi, Luo Yu, and the Papalarians had stopped playing the previously beloved Beast Chess.
The whole journey, he'd just seen these three playing cards. But he shook his head, indicating that he was honestly too tired.
Still unsatisfied, Luo Hao, shaking his plump body, rightly said, "Boss, why don't you replace this baffoon? I suspect this Papalarian's doing it on purpose."
Parker quickly gestured no: "Absolutely not, absolutely not."
Fang Hong looked at the two and said, "Then just make him pay."
Luo Hao's eyes darted, liking the suggestion, and regardless of Parker's pig-like squeals, forcibly pressed him into paying by taking his money bag.
Seeing the three making a fuss, Fang Hong shook his head and walked to his own bed. Of course, it wasn't like the Princess would put the four of them in one room, but out on an adventure, everyone kept to basic vigilance, so they chose to stay together.
Lying down, hands under his head, he reminisced about the day's events and details—just as he was about to close his eyes, the communication crystal on his chest suddenly trembled.
Fang Hong was startled, looking down to see the black crystal blinking red. Who would be contacting him so late? He flicked his hand to open the Dragon Knight's system Light Page, seeing a familiar number blinking in the communication section—
"Miss Sicape?" Fang Hong was slightly stunned and quickly clicked on the number.
The Light Page flashed, and Sicape's face appeared on the screen.
Seeing her reminded Fang Hong of what the old Scholar had told him not long ago. About the team nad 'Morning Dawn Star' that discovered the Abyssal Sea Scroll during the Battle of Bain more than a decade ago—is it related to the Morning Dawn Star he knows now?
And what did the Morning Dawn Star actually go through in the Battle of Bain?
But before he could ask, Sicape suspiciously looked at him and asked:
"Still not asleep at this hour?"
What kind of question is that? Fang Hong felt speechless. If he were asleep, would anyone even answer the communication? What kind of nonsense is Miss Sicape babbling about?
Sicape seed to see his confusion and said: "I was just trying. If you weren't there, I would have contacted you tomorrow."
She said, looking left and right mysteriously: "I hope I'm not interrupting you and your Ship's Officer Miss, am I?"
Fang Hong rolled his eyes: "Hilveld is not here."
"Really?" Sicape looked at him aningfully: "But I heard you're cohabiting with Hilveld, that's what Elisa told ."
Fang Hong's head was buzzing. How is Miss Nightingale spreading rumors not just within the team but to Sicape too? This rumor is completely baseless!
Only then did Sicape restrain her expression and said: "Alright, back to business, little fool, I did contact you for a reason."
"Hm?" Fang Hong was slightly startled.
"You're still in Istania, right?"
Fang Hong nodded.
"Good," Sicape's tone beca slightly more serious: "Recently, there might be sothing major happening with the Stargate, you'd better pay attention to safety, and also avoid going to places where you might easily get into trouble."
