In the year 1550 of the Terra Calendar, the Crete region was the lower jurisdiction of the Oletin Empire.
[This war is a holy war dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor! 】
[Rebels who despise the authority of the empire and act recklessly on the land of the empire! 】
[Let us impose sanctions! ! ! 】
[God bless my emperor, we will surely—
May you always be victorious and prosperous! 】
The ruined land is full of ruins, and ships belonging to the Oletin Empire are floating in the sky. They convey their faith in the emperor through broadcasts below.
The only intact place here is a field hospital. The hospital is full of infected out-of-control people, and none of their body parts are intact. People's eyes are too numb, they are eyes that have been destroyed by the war and are lifeless.
Outside the emergency room and intensive care unit of the hospital.
The strong smell of disinfectant lingers in my memory, as well as the presence of many strangers.
Facing the white wall, people put their hands together and prayed to their respective gods. This prayer was so sincere.
The walls of the hospital hear more sincere prayers than the walls of the church, because life is born in the hospital and also passes away in the hospital.
The out-of-control person is in the intensive care unit.
The patter of rain knocked on the window outside. Kellogg was quietly peeling an apple with a fruit knife, while his wife Hannah Alice was lying on the bed and looking at the rain hitting the ground outside. She The exposed skin was covered with scales. This was already the advanced stage of pollution, and the whole body began to be covered with abnormal organs.
"Hannah, come here." Kellogg handed the peeled apple to his wife.
Hannah turned around. She glanced at the apple in her husband's hand, and then at the new scar on his face.
"You went to the supply depot with those people again. There is a dense area of war. You..."
"Hey, I know, I know, come on, eat some apples to relieve your anger." Kellogg stuffed the apple into the mouth of his long-winded wife, which aroused her unusual dissatisfaction. She glared at her husband angrily, and then became angry. Take a bite of apple.
"Is it sweet?" Kellogg asked with a smile.
Looking at her husband's stupid look, Hannah, who was depressed, felt a little more comfortable, and a smile appeared on her sad face unconsciously.
"Very sweet."

In order to avoid the natural disasters that emerged in the eastern continent, I followed my tribe from my homeland, crossed two major regions, crossed the central and western plains, and came to the Crete area. When we arrived here, the natural disasters stopped spreading.
Along the way, I saw countless people escaping with us, of all colors. We did not have a war with them. The elders of the clan told me that the people who can now walk on the ground of Terra continent generally have inheritance. Ancient experience tells them that killing each other will only aggravate their destruction.
Because natural disasters do not appear regularly, they can ravage Oletin's eastern continent today, and they can ravage the western continent tomorrow.
Terran historians once said that frequent natural disasters liberated the Oletin Empire from the "imprisonment of the land".
In the past history, Terra's ancestors transitioned from food gatherers to food producers. And now, because of natural disasters, we are forced to return to the stage of food gatherers. We start wandering, and we are forced to reverse the course of history.
Now, the original civilization system has been destroyed, people are forced to become nomads, and religions, new humanistic systems, and new ideas have begun to grow wildly in the lower realm of Terra.
The people in the lower world have become more open-minded and tolerant than before, while the floating cities above have become more extreme.
Without enlightenment, people in the lower world will surely die; without totalitarianism, the rule of the sky will collapse.
The original social system has also undergone fundamental changes; the "celestial beings" who live in the floating city discriminate against the "gray people" in the lower realms, while the "out-of-control people" are hated by all human beings.
We quickly negotiated the division of residential areas with the people on Crete, and they allocated a piece of fertile land to us - only the people in the Eastern Continent still retain the custom of farming, and now people are more inclined to move towards Sky City purchased cheap synthetic food - the patriarch expressed his gratitude to them, and at the same time we signed the "Mutual Aid Agreement" again.
If a natural disaster occurs in the area where one party is located, the other party that is safe must provide it with assistance to the best of its ability, including but not limited to food, land, necessary living supplies, etc.
This may sound incredible, but this is the reason why people in the lower world can still survive.
There is one last clause in the agreement: when the natural disaster in the refuge area ends and natural disaster forecasters predict that there will be no more natural disasters in the area within 2 to 5 years, the evacuees must immediately return to their place of residence.
In the past, when there were no natural disasters, the Eastern Continent had hosted more than a dozen ethnic groups. After the natural disasters were over, these ethnic groups would return to their homeland.
This treaty was established through countless painful experiences of blood and tears. In the first fifty years of the New Yuan Calendar (Natural Calamity Annals, the second set of chronology commonly used in the Oletin Empire), more people died from land grabbing than from There are still many people affected by natural disasters. What is ridiculous is that when these perpetrators were cheering for their victory, natural disaster struck.
Natural disasters are as unpredictable as the movements of the three celestial bodies mentioned by scholars.
We settled down in the Crete area, and I continued my carefree life. Every day I was either playing in the mud in the fields or chasing the chickens and ducks raised by my uncles.
At that time, I was in a stage where I was annoyed by people and dogs, and I was often beaten by the elders of the clan.
one day.
"Kellogg, you are almost 8 years old, and you are about to go to school." The clan leader smiled and said to me, who had just finished killing Aunt Jasmine's dog next door.
"go to school?"
I remember this word. There was also a school in the Eastern Continent, but he was still young at the time and was not old enough to go to school. After reaching school age, natural disasters began to ravage the Eastern Continent and schools disappeared.
"Well, I have completed the admission procedures for you, and you can enroll tomorrow."
"Okay, go to school." I don't object to going to school, because it allows me to come into contact with more people and new things.
****
"The six largest floating forces in the Eastern Continent floating in the sky are: Utopia (this is a bad name, because it is a city made by the Kingdom of Heaven), Factory, Tianzhiyuan, Oletin Imperial Academy of Sciences, Eddie Western Machinery, Peace Initiative.”
"Rather than so much floating cities, they should be called floating city clusters. They will expand a new floating city every five years. And these expanded floating cities can be separated, so the floating cities are actually More than six.”
On the podium, the teacher was tirelessly telling the students the history of Terra, while I was looking out the window in trance at the huge shadow floating in the sky.
"The floating city group still maintains its rule over the ground. Each of us needs to pay tithes to the floating city to which we belong. The ones above only collect thaumaturgy stones as taxes, so..."
Ding ding ding——
The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and the children began to become restless, so the teacher had no choice but to announce that the get out of class was over.
The clan leaders and clan elders have been looking sad recently, as if it was because of the city that appeared in the sky. It was a floating city belonging to the Oletin Empire, and its name was Sargon.
The school is preparing to hold a special festival celebration recently to celebrate Sargon's appearance in the sky over Crete and to welcome the 'celestial beings'.
The children were all cheering and jumping, because children like to be lively and at the same time they are full of curiosity about the 'celestial beings', and I was keenly aware of the adults' forced smiles.
My clan uncles often leave early and come back late recently. Every time they come back, they are covered in sweat. Every time they come back, they bring glowing stones. And these clan uncles who brought the stones live in another place far away from the village. , the clan elders warned the children not to approach them.
I once asked the clan elder, why? Why don't we let Uncle Wang and the others come with us? Why do we tell the children in the village that they are monsters?
For they are cursed, cursed for our sakes.
I still remember the sad expression on the clan elder’s face. In my impression, he was always amiable and always kept a smile on his face. Now, he showed his helpless side in front of me, and I subconsciously reached out my hand and stroked his face just like he used to comfort me when I was crying.
The clan elder was stunned for a moment, then he held my hand firmly with both hands and put my hand on his forehead.
I seemed to see something carving scars on the elder's face. His back seemed to be no longer straight, and something was crushing him.
*******
"Boo-boo-boo-"
“Papa papa——————”
Brilliant fireworks lit up the whole of Crete. At this time, people in Crete were wearing the most important clothes. Everyone was celebrating. I was selected by the school as the flower girl to welcome the 'Heavenly Man'.
All I have to do is wave the flag and smile innocently at a certain spot.
I saw the 'celestial being' that day.
What, I thought they had three heads and six arms, but it turns out they are just like us.
This is what I thought at the time. Heavenly beings are just like us, they are all human beings with one mouth and two eyes. They are no more noble than we are.
The gods didn't seem to care much about our welcome. They clearly told the leaders of Crete the purpose of their trip, and they didn't shy away from the fact that this was a public place. Maybe they didn't care at all.
I could only vaguely hear words like 'recruitment', 'assessment', 'introducing talents', and 'preventing invasion by external forces'.
My task was completed quickly. After welcoming the heavenly beings, the teacher gave everyone a bag of candy and then let us go out to play.
I didn't follow the crowd to play in the streets. Instead, I ran towards the Cretan Mountains, an area he was very familiar with. After he came to Crete, he ran wherever he had nothing to do. Uncle East and Uncle Eston often went up the mountain to look for him. Every time they found him, his butt would hurt for several days.
I planned to go to the highest point of the mountain to see what the inside of the floating city looked like. I climbed up and up, and I met her halfway up the mountain.
It was dusk at this time, and I heard the girl crying on the way up the mountain.
I walked in the direction of the sound. On the high stairs, a girl was sitting on the stairs with her hands on her knees. Her head was buried in her knees, and intermittent crying came from her side.
I walked towards her, and she seemed to hear my footsteps. The girl raised her head.
Next to the stairs, there are sycamore trees, the leaves on them have fallen off, the dead branches cut the dim sunlight into pieces, and reflected in the gaps between the pieces, is a little face with pear blossoms and rain, a girl Her face looked extremely red at this time, and she looked at me with her small, aggrieved eyes.
"Hey, are you lost?" I asked the girl with concern.
"...Well, wuwuwu...I, I just separated from my parents for a short while. I thought I could see better scenery when I went up the mountain, wuwuwu..." the girl said intermittently.
I glanced at the shadow on the top of the mountain, then at the girl with crying eyes, sighed helplessly, and stretched out my right hand.
"Come, let me take you down the mountain."
"good."
So, I held the girl's hand and started walking down the mountain.
"...Um, what's your name? My name is Hannah Alice."
"Kellogg, well, he doesn't have a last name. The patriarch said that people in the Eastern Continent don't need that thing."
"Are you very familiar with this area?"
"Well, I come here often."
"You are from the Eastern Continent, right?"
"Um."
"you····"
The girl was like a lark, chirping in my ear, but I was dealing with it absentmindedly. I was still regretting that I couldn't see the floating city.
"You know there is a poet named Yeats in Dublin. His poetry is very famous in the New World..."
The continent where the Oletin Empire is located is blocked by the huge Tianqing, and the world outside the empire is called the New World (of course, this is for the gray people in the lower world).
"Shh!"
I suddenly stretched out my right hand to cover Hannah's mouth, and then I took him to hide in the bushes on the mountain. Hannah looked at me nervously, and I signaled her to be silent.
In front of me, there was a group of people wearing special combat uniforms. I could see the unified logo on their shoulders; it was a double-helix spire and holy wings, and next to it was a line of Terran characters that read "Heaven·Utopia" ].
"Remember it, we have made corresponding arrangements for this campaign to seize the city." The leader with the red epaulettes said to his subordinates.
"Well, we will definitely teach these heavenly beings a lesson."
"Proceed with caution."
"Don't worry, chief."
"You guys go ahead and take action."
"yes."
Except for the leader, the other members of the Tower of Babel quickly left here, while the leader stood there thinking about something.
His right thumb unconsciously pressed on the red handle of the knife hanging on his right side, and he moved the handle back and forth. The blade was pulled out of the scabbard, and then pressed back again with his thumb. He moved the handle of the knife back and forth like this.
I lay down in the bushes and didn't dare to move. My hand covering Hannah was already sweating. Hannah seemed to have noticed something was wrong, so even though she was extremely scared, she didn't dare to say anything. The sound comes.
"We should be proud of our identity and actively acquire and use the power of the masses." The leader suddenly said this sentence that I did not understand at the time.
"It seems that I am not a qualified leader." He smiled mockingly, finally pushed the knife back, and then turned around and left without hesitation.
After confirming that the other party had left, Hannah and I completely collapsed on the ground, fear and fear began to well up in our hearts.
He must have discovered us, but why?
When I was young, I was confused about many things in the world.
After that, I took Hannah down the mountain successfully.
I saw Hannah's parents. They looked dusty. They must have suffered a lot to find Hannah. Hannah's mother first scolded Hannah. After scolding each other and crying, she hugged Hannah. head and started crying with her.
Hannah's father came specifically to thank me. To be honest, I am a little shy when faced with compliments from adults. From Hannah’s father’s mouth, I learned that they were a wandering group of merchants who planned to settle here in Crete this time.
The next day.
Inside the classroom.
"Classmates, we have a new student in our class today. Come here, come here and introduce yourself to everyone." The head teacher waved to the door, and the students all turned their curious eyes to the beautiful girl with golden hair. girl.
The eyes of the classmates were attracted by this beautiful elf, especially the boys.
"Hello everyone, my name is Hannah Alice." Hannah waved enthusiastically to everyone present. She seemed to be looking in my direction intentionally or unintentionally, and I pretended not to recognize him.
Children of this age are always prone to making noises. As long as a boy and a girl are together, the children will roar and say who is whose little wife.
Hannah didn't think so. The teacher asked her to find a seat and sit down. She did not walk towards the empty seat, but walked straight towards me. She came to my seat and said softly to my seatmate:
"I want to sit here. I wonder if you can change seats."
"Oh oh oh oh--"
As I expected, the students in the class started making fuss and screams. The teacher patted the table on the podium to signal the students not to make any noise.
I looked at my classmate with pleading eyes, and he gave me a "I really belong to you" expression, and then quickly cleaned up his classmates and left the place in a hurry, while Hannah was by my side. Sat down.
"We meet again, Kellogg. We will be at the same table from now on."
"······"
In this way, Hannah and I became roommates.
It is at this point that another important thing happened.
Sargon, who was far away in the horizon, suddenly opened his naval cannon. It bombed the Cretan Mountains indiscriminately, and many people were affected. I heard from the tribesmen that the heavenly people were hunting down a people called [Utopia]. ] organizational members.
I was curious and asked the clan elder what kind of organization Utopia was.
"Utopia is an organization composed entirely of out-of-control people. They are extremely xenophobic and hate the normal society that once oppressed them. The members of Utopia hope to get fair treatment in society in their own way, even better than the treatment of non-out-of-control people - —This is the empire’s declaration to them.”
"The one who lost control?"
"They are all poor people..."
"You will understand later." The clan elder's eyes were full of exhaustion.
It was also on this day that the clan uncles who left early and returned late were taken away by Sargon's angels. From then on, they never came back.
In the years that followed, I began to understand what the clan elder said.
****
Time flies so fast that I have been in Crete for almost ten years. During this time, Hannah has always played the role of my deskmate.
She is always there for me, whether it's gym class or after school. Even during holidays, she would come to our village to look for me. The adults in the village always looked at us with ambiguous eyes.
I couldn't stand it at first, but then I gradually got used to her presence.
It was summer, and I was sitting under the shading vine I had built, with an ice-cold watermelon brought from Aunt Huang next to me. At the same time, a worn-out Walkman was playing pure music; this Walkman was bought from an old market. I took it out, and when I took it out, I also took out a lot of tapes.
The breeze was caressing me, I crossed my legs, eating watermelon and listening to music.
"Kai-luo-ge-"
Just when I was enjoying my comfortable holiday life, a familiar and annoying sound came into my ears from far to near. I turned sideways, trying to hide my ears.
Can't see, can't hear.
"Wuhu——Kellogg, cars, cars, cars——"
Unfortunately, some things cannot be avoided. Hannah rushed in on a battery car. I felt the danger, so I immediately left my seat and avoided Hannah's impact.
"What are you doing!" I stared at her angrily. At this time, she finally stopped the car, and my watermelon had been in close contact with the ground, and the ground successfully dyed the bright red flesh with a layer of khaki.
"I'm sorry." She stuck out her tongue at me.
"·······"
"Don't be angry, come on, I'll take you for a ride."
Hannah patted the empty space behind her and handed me a black helmet. I looked at her speechlessly, where do you have the confidence to carry me?
"Uncle, why did aunty agree to let you drive a battery car? Didn't this old antique just leave your father to eat ashes?"
"Uh, O(∩_∩)O haha~"
"Okay, I understand." Looking at her appearance, I finally understood that she was secretly expressing her feelings.
"Let's go for a drive. It's so boring to stay here during the holidays." Hannah tried to encourage me.
"Did you finish your homework?"
"Does that stuff need to be written?"
"...That's right." Looking at her surprised expression, I didn't know what to say.
"Where do you want to go?"
"whatever."
"It's casual again. You said it was casual last vacation, and then after I took you to your destination, you complained for several months." Seeing her saying casual, I couldn't help but yell at her.
It was okay if Kellogg didn't say anything, but he got angry when he mentioned Hannah. She said angrily to me:
"Where can I take girls to buy goods at the old market? You were quite happy at that time. You were chatting enthusiastically with the vendors. I was bored to death on the sidelines."
"I didn't pay for the rabbit rubber band you use to tie your hair now. You also like it very much. I see you keep it with you."
"I..., Kellogg, you are an idiot!!!"
"Why are you swearing!"
"Idiot idiot idiot idiot——"
"Crybaby, crybaby, crybaby—"
We quarreled again, and the tribesmen were attracted over. The adults looked at us with kind eyes, while the children ran over and sang to us in a singing tune:
"My little daughter-in-law, my little husband, I am happy for my enemies to show their affection!"
"Who is showing off their affection?" Hannah and I shouted angrily at the children in unison.
The children said that the monster was coming, and then the birds and beasts dispersed.
"Are you leaving or not?" Hannah looked at me angrily.
"Let's go." I took the helmet from her hand, then picked up the walkman and put it in my pocket.
"Get out of the way, I'll drive." I rode on the driver's seat of the battery car and squeezed Hannah into the back. She didn't say anything, after all, she knew her driving level.
"Sit tight." I twisted the handle and told Hannah behind me.
"...Hmm." I don't know if it was because the weather was too hot, but Hannah's face suddenly turned red, and she nervously pulled on the hem of my clothes.
I said speechlessly: "What's the use of being like this? Hold me tight."
"I know, why are you yelling!" Hannah yelled like a cat with explosive hair.
She stretched out her hands coquettishly, and slowly extended her hands from both sides of me, and then clasped her hands together. I don't know why, but she seemed nervous, and I felt her breathing was a little rapid.
"Gone." I didn't pay much attention.
I slowly tightened the handle, the battery car started to pick up speed, and I drove it towards the outside. The wind kissed our cheeks from both sides, and since I was carrying Hannah, I didn’t drive too fast.
"And I still dream of him walking on the grass,
Walking and wandering in the dew,
Let my joyful song easily penetrate—"
Music sounded from behind me. I don’t know when Hannah reached into my pocket and took away the Walkman inside. She inserted the tape she brought with her into it.
"It sounds good." Hannah proudly waved the Walkman in her hand behind her.
I looked back at her proud look and couldn't help but want to tease her. I pressed the brake handle on my right hand, the car suddenly stopped, and Hannah's face hit my back.
"Hey - bah, it's all sweat! Mu Mu, what are you doing!" Hannah shouted dissatisfiedly behind her.
"There is sand ahead, so you have to drive slowly." I laughed.
"I think you're looking for a beating." She stretched out her hand to hit me, and I drove again.
"Sit tight."
"Ah, drive slower."
I drove the car and took Hannah toward the fields. The sun was shining on our shoulders, the breeze was blowing our faces, and the golden wheat ears around us seemed to be following us, swaying their Body.
Hannah suddenly pulled off the rabbit-shaped rubber band behind her, and her golden hair began to flutter in the wind. A few strands of her hair floated to my shoulders, and they exuded an unusually good fragrance.
This is a very beautiful picture, with sunshine, breeze, wheat ears, boys and girls...
In this way, I unknowingly drove Hannah out of the village. We didn't know how far we had gone. When I realized that it was time to go back the same way, an accident happened.
"There's something wrong with the display on this car. It clearly shows that there's still 56% of electricity left. Why doesn't it leave?" I patted the display on the battery car.
"Ahaha——, I remembered, my dad said before that there seems to be a slight error in the display of this car." Hannah smiled awkwardly at this time.
"That's a point!" I laughed angrily.
"What should we do now..." Hannah said with evasive eyes.
"Push us back, I hope people in the village will notice us."
I didn’t say anything more about Hannah’s harsh words, and we started pushing the battery car back. It shouldn’t be said that it was us. In fact, I was the only one pushing the car, and Hannah followed me cautiously. She was a little embarrassed now, for fear of being scolded by me.
"Put on a song and listen."
"Um."
This time Hannah played pure music. After the initial embarrassment, she began to change back to her original self. She started chirping in my ear again.
"Kellogg, every year the floating city cluster holds a major exam. I heard that this is a system that existed in the old times. As long as we people in the lower world do well in the exam, we can go to the floating city to study. If we are lucky, we can still do it. Obtain resident status.”
"Um."
"Kellogg, with your grades, it should be no problem to pass the exam."
"The same to you."
"So, which city cluster do you want to go to?"
Hannah suddenly asked in a nervous tone, and I started to think.
"I should go to Edici Federation."
"Edisi..." Hannah murmured.
"What about you?" I didn't say the reason, but changed the subject.
"Secret." Hannah said with a sly smile.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it."
"Oh, you're really not curious."
"Not curious!"
"If you call me sister, I will tell you."
"hehe."
We just pushed the car back like this. At this time, the sun had begun to set, and the road conditions began to be unclear. My hands and feet were already feeling sore.
I didn't hold on, I told Hannah that my physical strength was a little weak. She wanted to have someone else push me, but I told her directly that no need. In this situation, we should find a place to stay and wait for rescue. The people in the village and Your parents should have noticed something was wrong, and the rescue team might be on their way to find us.
So, we came to the stone monument next to the highway, I put the car in a conspicuous place, and then I lay flat on the ground without any image.
"Hannah, you are a scammer." I couldn't help but complain.
"I know I was wrong." Hannah also sat down cross-legged next to me with an embarrassed look on her face, and then she carefully put my head on her lap.
"As compensation, I will serve as your pillow."
"You have some conscience." I said a little tiredly.
"Why don't you squint for a while? Maybe when you wake up, the rescuers will already be here."
"Hmm..." I actually squinted for a while when I lay down.
"You chat with me for a while, and maybe I'll fall asleep while we're chatting."
"Okay." Hannah said with a smile. She stroked my head like a child. To be honest, it felt a little comfortable.
"Kellogg, what are your plans for the future."
"I don't know, I don't have much ambition."
"Well, do you want to be in the floating city or the lower realm in the future?"
"I'm not sure. I don't know if I will continue to stay in the lower realm after learning about the floating city. I'm not sure..." The sleepiness began to come over me.
"Yeah, me too."
"Um···"
"Kellogg..."
"..." I had closed my sleepy eyes, and Hannah continued to stroke my head gently, her tone becoming unusually soft.
"Kellogg, you're a piece of wood."
"······"
"Kellogg, you're an idiot!"
"······"
Hannah looked at the boy who was sleeping soundly like a baby and showed a beautiful smile. She gently rubbed the boy's face with her fingers. After confirming that the boy was really asleep, she blushed and moved her face close to the boy. The distance between them is so close that as long as they get a little closer, their skins will touch each other.
"Kellogg, I like you." The girl said these words softly.
Her lips connected with the boy's.
After a long time, the lips parted.
The girl's face was as red as an apple, and the boy didn't know what sweet dream he had, and a smile appeared on his lips.
I slept extremely comfortably. After Hannah woke me up, I heard shouts in the distance. I knew the rescuers were coming. I immediately ran up and shouted loudly towards the light source in front of me. shouted.
"Here! Here!"
The crowd seemed to hear my shout, they started walking in my direction, and I looked back at Hannah happily.
"Why are you still sitting?"
"Nonsense, you slept comfortably. My legs are numb now. Help me up." Hannah muttered to me.
"Okay." I smiled and picked up Hannah from the ground.
Soon, people found us, they were people from the village. They took us back to the village on their bicycles, and the battery car tied a rope to it and took it back to the village.
Back in the village, Hannah’s parents were already waiting for us. This scene looked a bit familiar.
Hannah's mother scolded Hannah a lot, and this time I was scolded too. We both became famous in the neighborhood because of this incident.
*******
Sargon's shadow once again shrouded Crete, and this time it was accompanied by the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and - a long war!
The red sky,
Screaming people.
There are no longer thousands of lights in the distance,
But the pain and despair that are so close at hand.
·······
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he began to rectify the old opposition forces. He was already dissatisfied with the floating city that wandered outside the city cluster and established its own business. He asked these wandering floating cities to enter [Constantinople] to swear allegiance to their new emperor, and the warlords of these wandering cities were not fools. They could naturally see that the new emperor was dissatisfied with them.
Those in the Senate also began to denounce the new emperor's 'tyranny', and they contacted the warlords.
Subsequently, the war started with tacit understanding between both sides, and the people in the lower world naturally became the victims of the war.
Sargon was one of the floating cities that opposed the new emperor's rule. They were also very dissatisfied with Augustus's barbaric rule. It formed a wartime alliance with Hammurabi, another floating city in Crete, to resist the emperor. of the Praetorian Guards.
The empire's thaumaturges and thaumaturgic devices opened fire wantonly in the sky over Crete, and Sargon and Hammurabi were no less generous. The war spread throughout Crete, and many people became Sargon. temporary soldiers, or slaves of Hammurabi.
The fighting between the two sides caused EVE particles to spread throughout the Crete area. The proportion of those who were out of control exploded exponentially, and those who were out of control were the cradle of suffering.
Hannah's family became out-of-control losers, so they were kicked out of their original residence by people who had seen out-of-control losers going crazy.
People are too scared, and those who lose control look crazy, just like demons.
And at this time, I made a decision.
Crete region - a gathering place for out-of-control people.
"It's okay, come on, drink the medicine." Hannah smiled gently at the horned boy in front of her.
Perhaps the woman in front of him looked too much like an angel. The boy was infected by her gentle breath, so he opened his mouth obediently, while Hannah carefully fed her the medicine.
"You're so good, what's your name, kid?"
"Lister, Lister Virgil."
"Come on, strong Mr. Virgil, can you drink the medicine yourself?"
"Okay." The young man took the medicine automatically.
As usual, Hannah provides treatment to those who are out of control and helps other people who are out of control to overcome the current difficulties.
Exhausted, she returned to her residence, a small house with a dilapidated appearance. As soon as she put her hand on the doorknob, she noticed that someone had entered her room, and the mark she had made was touched.
She took out a lady's pistol from her bag and slowly opened the door.
"Snapped--"
"Long time no see, Hannah!" I held up the fireworks and smiled at Hannah.
Hannah, on the other hand, looked at me blankly with her pistol raised. I looked at her sluggish look and couldn't help but laugh:
"Can you put the gun down? It would be fun if it went off."
"Why are you here? Get out quickly. You know where this place is. You, an ordinary person, come here just to die!!!" Hannah ignored my playful smile and yelled at me angrily.
"We haven't seen you for so long, and you're treating your childhood sweetheart like this?" I continued to smile heartlessly.
"Go away quickly." Hannah came up and tried to push me away.
I turned sideways to avoid Hannah's movement, and then I took out what I had prepared. It was a small square stone, which was emitting fluorescent green light.
"This is -! What are you going to do, Kellogg!!" Hannah, who was out of control, could clearly feel the EVE particles contained in the thaumaturgy stone in his hand.
I didn't say anything more. I put this highly radioactive thaumaturgy stone into my mouth and swallowed it suddenly.
"you--"
"This way, we are all out of control, and you don't have to avoid me anymore." I walked towards Hannah and opened my hands.
My hands held Hannah tightly, I was afraid that she would disappear from my world. Hannah leaned tightly against my chest, her hands kept beating me, and while beating me, she cried and shouted:
"stupid stupid stupid--"
"Hannah..." I gently held her head, then lowered my head and spoke to her seriously.
"What." Hannah raised her face with tears in her eyes.
"Will you marry me?" I said nervously.
Hannah lowered her head first, then stood on her toes, her lips pressed against mine.
We are all immature and only know how to interact with each other.
After entangled for a long time, we finally separated due to lack of oxygen. Hannah raised her red face and said to me:
"That's my answer."
*******
This is the third year since Hannah and I got married. The war has not subsided with the passage of time, but has intensified.
War leaves traces of struggle on the bodies of soldiers.
Killings are replaced by bones,
Despair turns to death.
gradually,
It reveals its terrifying fangs.
gradually,
It becomes more powerful.
Decorate the sky with scarlet red,
Decorate the palace with bones.

Hannah's parents passed away, and they were hit by a thaumaturgic torrent during a ground contact battle between Sargon and the Empire. Hannah cried until she fainted because of this incident. I found Han on the battlefield through connections. I picked up some of Na's parents' belongings and then made simple arrangements for their funeral.
And Hanna's symptoms have reached the later period. Her whole body was covered by dense scales. She did not follow the mirror now, because the projection in the mirror made her scared.
The out of control is the cradle of suffering.
The war does not stop because of personal suffering, it continues to shrouded on everyone of Crete.
In 209, the New Yuan calendar broke out, and external forces began to interfere with the empire's war.
External forces such as Edisi and Heping Proposal Institute involved in the war. They sold a large number of war weapons to warlords. They hoped that the empire would continue to maintain a chaotic situation. At the same time, they also began to accommodate a large number of out -of -control people.
The Utopia resistance began to pour into the battlefield. In order to treat the out of control and restored the peaceful situation, they also became the promoter of the war.
The fundamental purpose of most foreign forces is to want a large number of experimental materials for them to study related theories of out -of -control and EVE.
At the same time, the radiation in some places in Tyra will disturb the mechanical and CNC devices and out of control. These places have very important strategic substances. At this time Labor.
In the New Yuan calendar in 200, Utopia called out of the controller to unite.
They gathered a large number of out of control and began to resist the oppression of the big forces.
Empires and warlords, foreign forces, utopia ...
in the dark,
The boundless disaster was quietly born.
Greed and confuse people’s eyes,
Killing is full of people's atrium.
Greed spread,
The footsteps of death gradually approached.
The killing spread,
The test of human nature is gradually clear.
What is Purgatory?
What is heaven?
Under the sharp eyes of the true knowledge,
The last piece of shame has disappeared.
And the shame,
It is the ugly and darkness of human nature.
The cold eyes of the power,
The sorrow of the combatant,
The situation where you are displaced,
Contempt for life,
Ignore the disaster,
Mocure of human nature.
Everything,
It shows the fragility of human nature,
But it was created, it.
The war seems to never stop.

Battlefield Hospital.
After visiting Hannah, I walked out of the intensive department, and then came to the rooftop of the hospital. I pulled out cigarettes from my arms, then shaking the cigarette shell, and the most prominent one with my mouth, and then Lite it.
The inside depression has been slightly relieved as the cigarette throughput has been relieved. The war of the Empire has made the Crete region forced to be blocked. He heard that the natural disaster in the East mainland area of the Far East has stopped. Unfortunately, they can't go out now. Also, and the villages and people have already ...
Snapped--
The cigarette butt is dripping. Unconsciously, the cigarette has been pumped by me. I looked at the red residual sun on the rooftop. Under the shining sun, the shadow in the sky was shrouded in the hearts of the Crete. Individuals are covered with a lingering haze.
······
"Kello, have you heard? Virgil has joined the utopian."
When I returned from the theater as usual as usual, the old Jack quietly told me.
"How do you know, who tells you." I frowned.
It is difficult for me to connect this mild boy in memory with Utopia's rebellion.
With the mix of Utopia in the Crete region, the situation became more complex and complicated. Other floating forces were involved in the war of Krit in the name of destroying Utopia.
"I saw it with my own eyes. He was wearing a utopian uniform before, but he didn't wear a mask."
"What do the kid want to do!"
"Who knows? Maybe I can't stand it. Look at our area, many young and strong joined the utopia, and the elderly like me and the intensive patients like Hannah are not added because of physical factors. Among them, why do you? "Speaking of this," Speaking of which, Old Jack carefully looked at the man in front of his eyes with his faint eyes.
"You are different. Although you have the infection of the out of control, your distortion organs are not displayed at all, indicating that you are internal distortion, and it is still the kind of stable state. You are because of Hannah ... ····”
"Old Jack, don't say that there are nothing." I interrupted the words of Old Jack, and then took out a bag of food bags filled with canned canned food and handed it to the old Jack.
"This is your material, keep it yourself, and don't tell Hannah."
"Um."
After saying goodbye to Lao Jack, I visited Hannah as usual, while Hannah asked me:
"I haven't seen Virgil for a long time. Have you seen him recently?"
"That kid, I saw him outside just now. This time he didn't know where to find a most book about Crete mythology. Recently, he always saw him read a book in a safe area."
"It's so good, Virgil, who can immerse himself in his own world even in the war, is so good."
"Yeah, I sometimes envy that silly boy."
night.
I left the Battlefield Hospital and walked towards the place where the original village, where the war was razed to the ground. The reason why I wanted to go there was because Virgil made me out.
Today is the red moon shine, the sky is particularly bright red, and the earth is under the shining of the red moon, as if it is sunny with bright red blood spots.
I saw Virgil. At this time, he had put on Utopia's uniform. There was a knife hanging on his right chest. Skin knife.
"Virgil." I called the boy ahead.
Virgil looked back at me. His eyes lost the tenderness of the past, and now some are only sorrow and resolute.
"Uncle Kairig ..." Virgil replied with a dry voice.
"What's wrong with your throat."
"It's okay, it's fine after a while."
"Have you cried?"
"·······,No."
"What do you call me today?"
"Uncle Kaiger, this will give you this." Virgil threw a special injection to me.
I took the potion that Virgil threw to me and looked down. The LOGO above had been cut off, but I could only see the small Tairawin characters still retained below.
Heavenly Kingdom ■-0 ■■ belongs.
"What's this?"
"This is a inhibitor. This is what we got from Utopia. Where did I want a tube from the leader? You take this thing for Sister Hannah."
"Virgil, you ..." What I want to say, but looking at the inhibitors in my hand, I swallow everything I want to say.
"Uncle Kaiger, I won't go back in the future, Virgil is dead." Virgil took out the exclusive mask of Babeta slowly put on, and then left here without returning.
Under the Red Moon, I looked at the teenagers in the distance silently.
**********
In the 122th year of the new Yuan calendar, the war of war finally affected the last pure land. Salguon took the lead in entering the rest area established as a neutral area. Subsequently, the remaining three parties led by the empire also torn the so -called civilian protection treaty.
The comprehensive war started this year. Old Jack died. I heard that he was affected after the outbreak of the war. He heard that he was directly covered by the strange flow of strangeness. Feel the pain.
The Battlefield Hospital was bombed in a group of Salgan in a group of Salg for the next day after the comprehensive war. After the war started, I even took Hannah to leave the hospital overnight.
I have successfully obtained two black ship places that stopped in the Clei Sea through my connections.
After entering the New Yuan calendar, most of the marine vessels in Tylas had lost the important position of the past. The disaster contained in the ocean was more horrible than the land on the land, and it was impulsive.
These abandoned ships were taken over by some high -handed people in the lower bounds, and these people formed a special logistics company -four seas.
The four seas almost monopolized the marine transportation industry of the entire lower boundary. I heard that there are still large floating urban agglomerations behind them, and the black ship is a special outsourcing service in the four seas. They lend the ship to the people who are not afraid of death.
Only these talents dare to enter the Crete area when they are fighting in the floating city, trying to earn a lot here. I got these two places after paying countless expensive costs.
Crete port.
"According to the convention, where are the bottom plate of the two of you to stay at the ship." The full armed ship personnel told me and Hannah.
"Um." I have been used to the discrimination of ordinary people. I took Hannah's silently follow them. They took me to the bottom cabin. The environment here was dim. The only light source was the central gas lamp.
The floor of the cabin was simply placed on several mats. Some of them were sitting on the mat, and these people were out of control.
"Find a vacant position by yourself, the ship is about to drive away." The soldier said to us.
"I want to ask, what is our route?" I asked the soldiers.
After he looked up and down, he did not refuse to answer my question. He replied directly:
"After leaving from the port of Crete, we will log in to Aiden for supplies, then pass through the Clei Sea, then pass through the Baron branch sea and then drive to the new world. Where do you need to get off the ship."
"good."
**********
This is the third day we have been in the ship. The bumpy journey made Hannah vomit and diarrhea. Her face was pale, I took care of her distressed, and the scales on her body were more densely covered. .
"Cough -, Kailig ..." Hannah raised her hand confused.
"I'm here." I held her hands tightly.
"I seem to hear something shouting to me, can you listen to me with you, I don't want to hear that sound."
"Okay." I hurriedly found out with me, then connected to the peripheral, put it on Hannah's head, listening to music, Hannah's expression was much better.
In the next few days, Hannah has been wore a loose and listened. She said that the voice was getting louder and closer. On her most uncomfortable day, she held my collar and leaned on my chest. Before, he said to me in a begging tone:
"Kello, if I die, you must live."
"What are you talking about, and persist again. After arriving at the land, I ... I find a way to get some inhibitory drugs, you must stick to it."
Hannah just looked at me in an infatuation, she smiled and said to me:
"You must survive. I can see that there is no god at the end of death, and death is death, so don't admire death and survive." Hannah seemed to point out.
Yes, there is no god at the end of death.
This is the real portrayal of every out of control who wants to survive. They just want to live. They reject this ugly death and this death that is stripped off.
After that, Hannah's scales began to cover their faces. At this time, the out of the cabin stared at us with fearful eyes, and what I was most worried about happened.
During a certain day of voyage, the soldiers rushed in.
"Come out." The all -armed soldiers raised a gun to me and Hannah.
"What's going on, do you want to regret it?" I took Hannah behind and said angrily.
"We were reported by reports. You should know what's going on. She has reached the threshold of out of control. As an out of control, you should have seen that they become monsters."
I looked around silently for four weeks, and I didn't dare to look at me with the same "similar".
"I don't want to say anything. We can let her die in humanely, and we will never let her feel a trace of pain, so let it open." The red laser on the firearm stayed on me and Hannah's forehead.
hateful--
I clenched my fist. In fact, I have a way to quickly solve them now. My distorted organs give me a strong instantaneous explosive ability, but after solving them, there are people of each other outside.
"Kaiforg ..." Hannah pulled my corner.
I didn't care about her, I knew what she was going to say, and I would not agree.
"I'll go with her."
"Kailig!"
"Hannah, you are right, the end of death is only dead. But for me, there is no meaning of surviving without you." I laughed at Hannah.
"Fool." Hannah stared at me with tears.
The two of us were taken to the deck, and the soldiers decided to execute us here.
"You think about it. This is the last opportunity. We are also the gray people in the lower bounds. We don't kill, we are just to survive." The soldier told me again.
"What's your name." I asked the soldier.
This soldier should be a newcomer, and he still has sympathy for the people on the ground.
"Danan."
"Danun, thank you."
Da Wan didn't say anything more. We were taken to the center of the deck. The soldiers in the distance gave us the two dead agents. This thing heard that it was made of saliva that extracts the eight -sided spider of the extra toxins.
"After we die, the corpse should be thrown into the ocean, although it is a bit regrettable to be buried together." I joked to Hannah.
However, Hannah didn't say a word from the beginning to the present. I thought she was scared at first, but now I feel something wrong. Hannah's head has been low, her hair blocked her face, I can’t see her clearly. expression.
"Kelloig, want to survive." Hannah said to me in a hoarse tone.
"Hannah, you-"
"coming."
"What?"
Just as I was puzzled, the entire ship suddenly shaken severely, followed by evil singing;
Please stop and listen to our singing!
No boat can pass the beautiful Siren Island,
Unless the helmsman listens to our wonderful singing.
Beautiful songs give you happiness and wisdom,
With you sailing safely.
"Damn, there is still a distance from the Mini Sea here, why is there Siren appeared!" Da Wan said painfully with his ears.
"Is it ..." What did Danlun react? He turned his head to Hannah's direction.
Hannah was already full of scales. At this time, she sang with the song, and Danan shot at her without hesitation.
Bang bang bang——
The bullet just rubbed a spark on her surface scales, and at this time, the huge sea tornado appeared near the ship. Below the ship, the sea monsters with a large blood basin hit the ship.
"MD, one -million -dollar phenomenon is encountered by us. She is the psychic body of Siren, which is not far from the Ministry of Syda Sea."
"All staff, enter the state of combat reserve!"
All soldiers began to shoot Siren, who tried to board the boat, and Hannah had changed at this time, her eyes became very cold, she waved her at hand, and the water walls appeared around the world to separate the bullets.
"Hannah!" I shouted to her sadly that Hannah's expression had a short confusion, and then she turned back to the cold appearance again. The water cannon attacked the soldiers.
With Hannah's attack, she has been wearing a portable hearing just next to me, and I saw a line on the surface of my papass.
[If I became a monster and killed me. 】
I looked at the word of this line. At this time, the Haili Towers had already rolled the entire ship. Strangely, there is no danger in the area where Hannah and I are. Siren fights with soldiers, roaring, shooting, scolding ...
These seem to be invisible to us, and it blocked all disasters.
Suddenly, a huge wind blew through, a soldier was brushed on the spot, and the tactical knife in his hand broke away.
A tactical knife was inserted between me and Hannah. I looked at all this, while Hannah continued to sing.
"Why-" I knelt on the ground with pain.
"Why!"
"Why!!!"
"We just want to live, why-"
I roared angrily, weak,
From the outbreak of the war to the present, the sense of weakness has been with me.
After the roar, I stood up from the ground. I pulled up the knife in front of me, and then came to Hannah's side. For my approaching, Hannah had no response at all.
I do n’t know when tears have been filled with my entire face. I tried to hug Hannah. The sound of her chanting sounded for a short pause, but it was only that moment.
I leaned my head on Hannah's shoulder and then raised the knife in my hand.
"I love you, Hannah."
呲——
The scales that are enough to resist bullets are penetrated by an ordinary tactical knife, and more than only Hannah, but also me with a knife.
"I love you too"
Hannah stopped singing, her face smiled, and blood dripped on the ground, forming a bloody pool of blood, and my consciousness began to become blurred.
Let me sleep like this, no matter who is, please, don't ask me to wake up, I want to sleep like this ...
My consciousness fell into endless darkness. I let this darkness devour me. I don't want to open my eyes, I am too tired.
Living is too tired.
"Live!"
Hannah's voice came from a distance, and a touch of light was on the sky from the dark. I subconsciously stretched out my hand and touched the light.
**********
"··· Please, don't die ... live, please live ... Please live ... I have seen too many dead people, why do you do this experiment, empire, Majesty, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we It will go to hell, we will all go to hell! "
I reached out and touched the light, and I seemed to be held by my hands. It was a pair of small hands. It should be a child. I opened heavy eyelids.
My eyes were uncomfortable with a strong surgical lamp, and in front of the operating light, a handsome and unusual teenager held my hand, and his tone called me a bit sadly.
"Han ... Na ..."
I asked the young man in front of me in a dry voice.
I am here.
"Han ... Na, where are you ..."
I heard Hannah's voice, so I looked around, and the teenager kept silent.
Kello, I'm there, I'm here.
Hannah soothed me with a gentle voice. I seemed to feel that someone was holding me behind, but it was empty and nothing.
You have to survive and find the reason for surviving, I believe you will find it.
"What are you talking about, Han ..." My consciousness began to blur again. I stretched out my hand and waved helplessly in the air. Then, I fell asleep again.
*********
"You wake up." A majestic voice came from my ear.
I struggled from the operating room, and then, I saw the beautiful purple robe. In the Oresen Empire, only one was allowed to wear a purple robe.
"You are ..." I didn't dare to look at each other. The words spit out from my throat were so dry that I felt a little strange, and I subconsciously stretched out my hands.
This is my body ...
"You are the only body that made the angel technology that imitates the kingdom of heaven.
The emperor of the purple robe looked at the successful experiment in front of him, and said to him:
"I am not curious about what you used to be. I just asked you, you are willing to fight for the empire."
When I heard this sentence, an indifferent anger devoured me, and I stretched out my hand and stretched to the emperor's neck.
He didn't struggle, but looked at me silently, expressionless.
"Angry, this is good."
I increased the power in my hand, and the emperor looked at me expressionlessly, and my power could not shake him.
"Living with hatred is better than anything."
"What do you want !!!" I shouted and questioned the purple robe emperor, and my eyes were full of blood.
"Peace, stability, unity, and everything I can see."
"Just for this, just for these ..."
"You don't like me, just like humans don't like the hotness of the sun. I can give you a chance to avenge your enemies, and the opportunity to wave the knife from the veteran House of the House."
"I will kill you first !!!"
"No, you can't."
Looking at the deep eyes of amber, under the gaze of those eyes, I began to restore my mind. In the end, I let go of my hand weakly.
"I can give you the control of [Sparta] to join the opportunity to join the embargo. You can get power. You can choose to terminate the war in your own way.
The emperor of the purple robe stared at me high.
"You can have everything, and there is only one you need to pay: loyalty."
*************
Tyra 1590.8.7.
The once magnificent old house has now become a victim of war.
Under the flames of [Five Tiesters], this ancient building suffered devastating destruction.
The solemn facade is now shrouded in smoke and dust, and the heavy boulder wall has broken away, exposing countless cracks and cracks. The tall square base was full of traces of war fire, the door was exploded, and the wide steps became the wreckage of the ruins.
Once you step into the interior of the House, the tragic situation is even more heartbreaking. The huge dome has collapsed, and the beams and arches are fragmented, like a withered flower.
The magnificent dome in the past no longer shone glory, replaced by darkness and dead silence.
The walls of the hall were originally decorated with gorgeous murals and sculptures, and they have now been burned by war, becoming a broken ruins. The huge pillars have collapsed, no longer support the dome, and falling on the ground into the wreckage of the ruins.
"Love ... country, how dare you!"
On the broken steps, wearing a veteran ring, wearing a short sleeve waist coat in the knee, a five -inch (13 cm) wide purple stripes on the right shoulder, covering his wound and looking at the whole body in front The newly -covered the newly -covered army of the imperial forces covered by the black armor and the head of the Imperial Army.
"Feng Emperor's instructions, Suzheng all rebellion."
I stepped on my blood -stained steps and came to the elder's body, giving up [the spear of the sun god].
"Patriot, do you know what you are doing ..."
Poof——
"I know, I always know, because I have always witnessed everything."
"We are all going to destroy, but you will go to him one step than us first."
I pulled out the spear and glanced at the surroundings. Those proud elders died under the processes of the embargo. The red red was covered with the entire ruins, and the former [tyrant] hung up high in the sky.
The empire's army kneeling on one knee, holding fists in his right hand in the heart, and shouting at the sky loudly:
"Glory belongs to Augustus !!!"
"The glory is all attributed to Octual !!!"
"Glory is all belonged to Constantinople !!!"
I didn't kneel down, but my eyes couldn't help looking towards the sky.
The huge Constantinople were arched by five [tyrant], and the emperor of the purple robe held the [Constantinople Either Staff] in his hand.
[All the honors of the Empire bowed to it! 】
[Constantinople] above, there is a huge beast.
"The beast has ten horns and seven heads, wearing ten crowns on the ten horns, and the seven -headed name is blasphemy named like a leopard, the feet like a bear's feet, and the mouth of the lion. 』
I know what the seven heads on the beast are [Qiqiu] of the Oresen Empire.
I know that there are only two options on the man above:
Either take the empire to destroy or take the empire towards glory.
I will witness all this.
Originally, it was quite a chapter that it was sent free of charge. It seems that it seems that 10,000 words have passed.
