Chapter 137 Countless Relatives
Mo Fan greeted his uncle and met two little guys, who were his cousins. His uncle's name was Qin Zhou. Just as the rumors said, he was now in charge of the territory of the empire he destroyed, and he was also the general of that place, guarding the border between Qin State and the lawless zone.
My cousin Qin Wen likes to read and collect books. He basically reads all kinds of books. He is a real nerd. But since he is the son of Qin Zhou, who destroyed the country at the slightest disagreement, he is also capable. At the age of ten, he has reached level 13. His profession is a magician.
Cousin Qin Yan, unlike her brother, seems to have inherited Qin Zhou's direct or even violent personality, and wanted to fight Mo Fan right away. And now she is... 15 years old, a level heavy armored warrior, using a giant sword...
Besides these two little guys, Mo Fan also saw a lot more... a lot... so many that it made his scalp tingle...
There is no need to introduce the little guy in detail, because Mo Fan can't remember him. But there are a few people who need to be remembered, Uncle Qin Mo. Qin Shan's younger brother, that is, the younger brother of King Qin, and the only prince of the Qin State.
However, this great uncle was not an ordinary prince, but a general who guarded the border. It can be said that throughout the year, he would only go home during the Chinese New Year, and he would guard the border at other times.
The border guarded by my great uncle is more dangerous than that guarded by my uncle Qin Zhou, because the border guarded by my great uncle is the United Nations composed of many kingdoms.
If the No Man's Land is equivalent to a group of powerful hooligans, a mob, then the United Nations is a group of people who have brains, collective consciousness, and know how to stick together... a mob.
There is no way. Qin is too strong now. Even if the United Nations goes all out, it will be difficult to break through Uncle Qin Mo's border within half a year. Even if they run to the no-man's land and try to break through from Uncle Qin Zhou's side, the Yunling Mountains that reach the sky can block part of it. Uncle Qin Zhou can handle the rest.
Qin Zhe, the son of his uncle, was Mo Fan's cousin. He was a guard and the commander of the imperial guards in Chang'an City, directly under the emperor. He was rarely seen on weekdays, and this was the first time Mo Fan had seen him. Of course, it could also be that Mo Fan had not been in the palace for long.
The uncle is in charge of external affairs, while the cousin is in charge of the household. The cousin's son, Qin Hao, is a few months younger than Mo Fan. He is a student at the White Tiger Academy and was admitted on an exceptional basis without having to take the assessment required by the four academies.
Mo Fan also called Qin Hao his cousin, but strictly speaking, he should be called cousin? Whatever.
(The way we Chinese call our relatives is so complicated...)
Suddenly Mo Fan felt that the Demon King City was not bad. After all, he didn’t have so many relatives, and he didn’t need to bother about what to call them one by one.
There are not many procedures for the sacrifice, which can be divided into three parts: worshiping heaven and earth, paying tribute to ancestors, and praying for the coming year. Then there is the celebration of eating, drinking and having fun.
There are not many procedures but many steps. Fortunately, although Qin Qianqian is Qin Shan's favorite daughter, there is no precedent for women to worship at this kind of sacrifice, let alone let Qin Qianqian read out any blessing lines. At least there is no such thing in Qin State.
After completing the three steps, Mo Fan walked around the festival alone. During the New Year, all the people would rest, relax, and reunite. Of course, those soldiers who stayed behind would take turns to go back, after all, they were also good children born by their parents.
As for why Mo Fan was shopping alone... Of course it was because he couldn't get involved with his mother's side, as there were only elders there, and Mo Fan was a student at Wanxiang College, so they were always asking him questions.
As for those of the same generation as Mo Fan, they are either younger, around ten years old, or more belligerent and would pull Mo Fan to compete with him.
Although they did not discriminate against him because of his demon blood, Mo Fan was very touched. However, the overly warm affection made Mo Fan feel uncomfortable. After all, in his previous life, he was a low-level worker who would be scolded by his relatives and friends whenever he returned to his hometown.
However, Mo Fan forgot that not only he would come to the celebration, but also the younger ones of his generation would come. And the elders would also come to see the land they protected.
So... after avoiding the third wave of sons of some unknown uncle, Mo Fan chose to leave.
Mo Fan heaved a sigh of relief when he got home. Fortunately, his house was located in a remote area, surrounded by single-family villas, and the downtown area was quite far away. Mo Fan looked at the lights in the distance and heaved a sigh.
"Alas, it seems that I am still not suitable to be a leader. I am even afraid of places with a lot of people."
Looking away, Mo Fan lay on the bed with nothing to do, not knowing what to do. He shielded himself from the outside world, drew the curtains, and immersed himself in darkness.
Mo Fan just felt very peaceful and comfortable, and then he fell into a deep sleep...
In the next few days, Mo Fan had to follow Qin Qianqian to visit relatives everywhere. Mo Fan put on a smile and followed his mother to recognize these relatives and friends he had never met before, but he felt very uncomfortable.
In his previous life, he had five uncles, and it was already difficult to remember them all. But now... there are several princes on the side of his grandpa Qin Shan alone, and there are also those on the side of his uncle Qin Mo.
Because New Year's greetings can only be made in the morning, in the next few days, Mo Fan would pay New Year's greetings in the morning, and then go back to Mo Fan's home with Qin Qianqian to rest in the afternoon. In this regard, Qin Qianqian herself did not like New Year's greetings very much, so she said.
"I didn't have the chance before, but now that you've come out, I'll take you through them all. From now on, you can come alone to pay New Year's greetings."
As for Mo Lang? He left long ago. In the Qin State Ceremony, although Mo Fan has the blood of the demon clan, he also has the blood of Qin Shan, so no one would say anything if he participated. But if the Demon King came to participate, then...
A few days later, under the guidance of Qin Qianqian, Mo Fan finally visited all his relatives and then collapsed on the bed. Qin Qianqian used a magic to contact Qin Lang and called in Mo Lang who was waiting outside the city. Then, she said goodbye to Mo Fan and went back to the Demon King's City with Mo Lang. After all, Qin Qianqian couldn't stay here any longer. She missed the unbridled life in the Demon King's City even more.
As for Mo Fan? Since there was still nearly a month before the start of school, Mo Fan chose to go somewhere else to have some fun. After all, he had escaped from the High Priest by using the excuse of going out and seeing more.
For a month, Mo Fan did not encounter any major events. He traveled all the way and occasionally looked at the book on basic spells. Wherever the protagonist went, he would encounter a hero saving a beautiful girl or saving ordinary people. Mo Fan did not encounter any of these. After all, he was a demon. If he saw a demon beast attacking, he would just stand on the wall and the demon beast would bypass him.
"Alas, it seems that I am really not the protagonist."
