Chapter 1063: 484: The Truth! Suo Lun Acknowledges His Father!_3

Lanling said: "So, they actually want to deceive those foreign tribespeople to their deaths, to offer sacrifice to the volcano."

Suo Mo said: "Yes, but at least a dozen or so people survive each time and join the Foreign Tribe Army."

Lanling said: "Dina calls you adoptive father, when did she undergo the Heavenly Eye Judgment?"

"Eighteen years ago, Dina was only seven years old at that time," Suo Mo said. "She escaped with her parents to seek refuge with the Chimera Tribe. Back then, the Shaman deemed a family of three too burdensome, so they were all thrown into the volcano. Her parents weren’t so lucky; they weren’t of Demon heritage, and thus were burned alive. Only Dina survived. Hearing her cries, I jumped down to see, her parents had used their four arms to hold her up high to prevent her from being burned by the magma. While they were sinking, the back of Dina was already scorched by the lava. She was only seven years old, unable to endure such pain, so she cried desperately. However, thanks to her Demon Blood, she wasn’t burned to death. I saved her and then took her in as my adoptive daughter, and since I didn’t know her real name, I named her Dina."

After a long thought, Lanling said: "Is there a possibility? A noble from the Human Kingdom fathered twins with a woman of the Demon Race. One of them is human, the other a member of the Demon Race."

His meaning was clear, the Suo Mo before him and Count Suo Long were twin brothers.

But since Suo Mo bore the Demon Bloodline, covered in scales, he could surely not survive in the Human Kingdom. In order to protect him, his parents sent him to the Suo Tribe in The Barbaric Wilderness for foreigners to adopt him.

Suo Mo said: "Do I really look exactly like your father?"

Lanling nodded: "Exactly the same."

Suo Mo hesitated for a long time before saying: "He is the City Lord of Tianshui City, Count Suo Long?"

Lanling shuddered and said: "You, you know him?"

Suo Mo shook his head: "Just... heard of him, never met!"

From his tone, Lanling could discern another story, because at that time, the Suo Tribe was too close to Tianshui City.

"Then why are you called Suo Mo?" Lanling asked.

Suo Mo hesitated for a while and took out a gold lock from his chest.

This kind of gold lock, a longevity lock worn by children around their necks, bore two characters: Suo Mo.

"Uncle..." Lanling immediately knelt down.

Suo Mo’s eyes trembled, tears finally slid down as he reached to touch the top of Lanling’s head, closing his eyes in pain and said: "When I was in my teens, I... I almost went north to the Human Kingdom, searching for my biological parents. The only clue was this longevity lock, but... I never went in the end. Because... just past the Great Mountains, I was hunted down by countless humans."

Then, Suo Mo said: "Child, you should be the heir to the Tianshui City Lord. Why are you here?"

A dark pain suddenly emerged in Lanling’s eyes.

"Don’t say it..." Suo Mo stopped him and said: "My story is already painful enough, and sad, I’m old and perhaps can’t endure another sorrowful story."

Taking a deep breath, Suo Mo caressed Lanling’s head solemnly and said: "Child, no matter why you have come here, from now on, you are my child, I will protect you until my death!"

Following that, Suo Mo asked: "Child, how old are you?"

Lanling was startled and shook his head: "I don’t know, because I don’t know how long I’ve been dead, perhaps twenty-four."

At those words, the tears Suo Mo had been holding back once again began to flow, then he turned his head and said: "Dina, come in, meet your brother!"
