Chapter 311: Chapter 304: Cheng Ziang’s Speculation

"What do you mean?" Cheng Ziang asked with a frown.

"Hmm..." Feliz stared at him intensely. Suddenly her expression lit up with realization. She pointed at him and said, "I remember now, you somewhat resemble that uncle, the Uncle Swordsman. He is from Northern Aud!"

Hearing her words, Ziang shivered involuntarily, then looked at her with serious expression and asked, "Are you sure I look a lot like him?"

"Hmm..." Feliz fell into contemplation once again. She furrowed her eyebrows, muttering to herself, "But I’ve only known the uncle for a few days. Why do I feel a sense of familiarity with you?"

Cheng Ziang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this girl had misjudged something. How could there be such an uncanny coincidence in this world? Although he was eager to acknowledge Yalunte as his father, it required the other party’s consent.

"Speaking of which, do you know Yalunte?" Recovering from his initial shock, Cheng Ziang found a topic to prolong their conversation. Yalunte as the best swordsman on the continent, many people should know him. More importantly, Feliz came from Otland, the place where Yalunte once lived.

"The Uncle Swordsman, " Feliz pondered for a moment, and then said, "I heard about him from the elders in my family. Uncle was known to everyone thirty years ago, and he was the youngest Army Commander in the history of Otland, leading Northern Coalition to resist the invasion of Otherworlders. He could freely navigate through the magic weapons of Otherworlders without getting a scratch. His deeds were admired by generations."

The Northern Coalition she was referring to was part of Otherworld Allied Army, mainly composed of Aud people and Bobulu people. And the so-called Otherworlders were Earth people who invaded Otherworld.

"Is he that formidable?" Cheng Ziang mumbled to himself. He knew that Yalunte’s ability to fearlessly travel through the gunfire of Earth people primarily depended on his Rune Armor. Earth people probably underestimated the magic powers of the Otherworlders and were startled by these invincible Rune Armors.

"If this guy is so powerful, why is he not continuing to serve as the commander of Otland?" Ziang couldn’t help but ask.

"Hmm," After contemplating for a while, Feliz responded, "I heard that he fell in love with the princess at the time. In order to have her, he eloped with the princess from the palace, and both of them disappeared."

"Princess?" Cheng Ziang blinked, then couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, I think her name was... Lin, right, Lin, Princess Lin of the Fiolonte Family." As Feliz spoke, she inadvertently knit her brows, "She is, the sister of our current king, King Gudelv, oh!"

Suddenly, she had a look of realization on her face, then turned toward Cheng Ziang and said, "I remember now. I was wondering why you looked so familiar. You resemble the king!"

"What, what did you say!" Cheng Ziang was stunned again. If his appearance was inherited from his mother. Considering his striking resemblance to Gudelv, could it be possible that Princess Lin was his mother?

"You do look a lot like the king," Feliz earnestly stated while staring at him, "Although the Fiolonte Family is not from Northern Aud, your appearance is just like a native of Northern Aud."

Northern Aud referred to people from the northern part of Otland, including those from the northern region of Masya. Their features were more prominent compared to the Southern Aud people due to their existence in high latitude areas, which made their hair color lighter, and so were their eyes.

The explanation for Cheng Ziang’s appearance was somewhat complex. Although his features closely resembled those of the Fiolonte Family, his overall appearance was more akin to the Northern Aud people, but not entirely. This was because his genes were mixed with those of Earth people.

"What else do you know about Princess Lin?" Cheng Ziang asked anxiously.

"Princess Lin..." Feliz bowed her head and after a moment of contemplation, slowly said, "After the Princess was taken by the Uncle, her whereabouts remained unknown. The last time the soldiers of the kingdom saw her, she was in the southeastern part of the kingdom. At that time, she..."

"What happened to her?" Cheng Ziang hastily inquired.

Feliz glanced at him hesitantly, then said somewhat shyly, "It seemed that the Princess was pregnant at the time..."

"Pregnant..." The word caused Cheng Ziang’s pupils to dilate. He immediately thought of Luo’er’s parents.

"Although it’s unclear who the child’s father was, Uncle Swordsman once said that he and the Princess truly loved each other. He did not abduct the Princess, rather, they eloped together..." Feliz noticed Cheng Ziang’s expression and said it in a somewhat weak voice.

Cheng Ziang wasn’t paying attention to her at the moment, his mind was in turmoil. An unknowing Feliz continued, "Of course, all this was mentioned by the elders of my family. They respect Uncle Swordsman a great deal, therefore they believe that they truly loved each other. It seemed that the Fiolonte Family intended to arrange a political marriage for the princess..."

All these clues pointed towards a daring guess in Cheng Ziang’s mind. Yalunte eloped with the Princess and went southeast; by then, the Princess was already pregnant. Then, Yalunte started working as an informant for HQ. It had always baffled him: why would Yalunte, being the best swordsman on the continent, willingly work as an informant for HQ?

Moreover, Luo’er had once told him that Yalunte had a request to the Headquarters, rumored to be child-related. With this, the entire chain of clues was comprehensively linked together.

Yalunte, along with the princess, headed southeastwards to find the Headquarters and requested them for help. Perhaps the princess was suffering from some kind of illness so they needed the aid of the Headquarters.

Luo’er had once helped him in asking Wang Xu whether he had any connection with Yalunte. However, Wang Xu told Luo’er that he looked more like an Aud, not an Earthman, which contradicts the result of a gene combinations between Earthman and Otherworlder.

But if his appearance followed after his mother, Luo’er had never asked his mother’s identity. If it was as Cheng Ziang speculated, then it was the people of Headquarters that helped Yalunte to take care of the Princess, eventually leading to a child. That child could very well have been himself.

With this consideration, all the clues were explained. The reason why he looked like a Northern Aud was that his father was Yalunte, who was indeed a Northern Aud, and his resemblance to King Gudelv was because his mother was none other than Princess Lin, King Gudelv’s younger sister.

Cheng Ziang couldn’t continue anymore with the conversation with Feliz, he felt his head was about to explode and even forgot about thinking of how to save Luo’er. If his speculation were correct, he wasn’t a hybrid at all, but a pure Aud, a genuine Otherworlder.

Yet, if that were the case, the problem naturally followed. His childhood was spent on Earth until last year. He lived on Earth before adulthood, and with the environmental differences between Earth and Otherworld, as an Otherworlder, he would not have been able to withstand Earth’s environment. How could he have lived on Earth for over twenty years?

All these speculations left him with a headache. From where he stood now, instead of blindly guessing, it would be better to clear things up by finding the people involved in the incident.

But if he went to ask Wang Xu, Wang Xu would likely not tell him the truth. He could only get the information he wanted through Luo’er. But another problem arose, Luo’er was still at the mercy of Tangmo, and his fate was uncertain.

"Ah, to answer my questions, I’ll have to rescue Luo’er!" Cheng Ziang said to himself.

Having gone through a period of brainstorming, Cheng Ziang was also feeling a bit tired, so he sighed. It was then that he noticed Feliz had been staring at him with an indecisive expression.

"What’s up, do you have any questions?" Cheng Ziang asked her.

"Well, it seems like none of you have introduced yourselves, apart from Luo’er and Audrey. I don’t even know your names." Feliz complained.

"We’re scouts from Otherworld, we naturally cannot reveal our identities easily to others." Cheng Ziang responded matter-of-factly.

"But Luo’er backed down, he said I was trustworthy!" Feliz argued discontentedly.

"This guy..." Cheng Ziang sighed, then he said, "Nevermind, just make sure you don’t go around spreading the word."

Then, he began to introduce himself: "My name is Cheng Ziang. If it’s too difficult for you to pronounce, you can call me Leon."

Then, he pointed to Baiyue, who was in a daze not too far away, and said: "That guy over there is Baiyue, he’s a bit aloof, but he’s a good person. Just don’t bother him if you’re not familiar with him. Of course, if you find her name hard to pronounce, you can call her Diana.

"The guy who left on his horse is Hu Daoke, a half-beastman. Though he looks fierce, he’s actually very good-tempered. Of course, if you’re uncomfortable with his name, you can also call him Ugly Monster!" when he got to Hu Daoke, Cheng Ziang’s introduction began to deviate from seriousness.

"Are all of you Otherworlders?" Feliz asked, looking at him.

"Um..." Cheng Ziang nodded, "Sort of"

"I thought that Otherworlders are those blond-haired, blue-eyed, and have a smelly body." Feliz responded truthfully.

White people and Otherworlders, especially the Auds, bear great resemblance but the difference lies in the fact that Otherworlders have almost no body odor, while white people, as well as black people, generally have a strong body odor.

While in terms of appearance, Auds, especially Northern Auds, look more like Scandinavians, Bobulus resemble Indians, and the distant Ancient States resemble native Americans. But just with their nose, these Otherworlders can easily identify who are Earthmen and who are Otherworlders.

On the contrary, East Asians, who look distinct from these Otherworlder races, cannot be identified by smell, leaving only visual observation of their facial features.
