"This year's fireworks are particularly noisy."
Eugenia placed her elbows on the table, resting her face on the back of her hands, lazily looking at everything below.
Every year, they spend the festival either in the Beizhou Kingdom to the west of Britannia, or in the Beichen Kingdom.
First, you can eat delicious Chinese food, and second, you can see beautiful fireworks.
So watching fireworks is almost a must-see event for them every year.
Arthur let out a long sigh. He didn't say anything. He just silently picked up the sparkling wine on the side and poured himself a glass.
"You are right, humans are the creatures with the strongest desire for self-destruction in the world."
The more you witness death, the more calm you will become when facing death.
As we get older, the time line becomes longer when we look at things.
War is never uncommon in human history.
Just talking about this bombing, many more people died on every battlefield in the world than died here.
If it were in the past, they would still be able to save people for the kindness in their hearts.
But the longer I live, the more I feel that this kindness is a kind of hypocrisy.
You clearly have the absolute power to end this war, enough to save tens of millions of people who would have died in this war, but you didn't do it, but you saved these thousands of people for the goodness of your heart. , what is it if it’s not hypocrisy?
Why not end this war?
From a single-threaded perspective, the end of this war is very simple. Kill all the culprits who started the war and force all countries in the world to sign a peace agreement. What a simple thing.
But is it really that simple?
War between countries is never about fists and kicks between people, but the fate of tens of millions of people. It's because of limited resources and trade competition.
If we don't resolve all this, we will only end up accumulating conflicts into the next more intense war. This is how World War II happened.
Xia Ya does not feel that he has the governance ability to manage hundreds of millions of people. The final result can be said to be obviously thankless.
However, he can guide capable people to end it all.
Charia was speechless, Alicia took the glass of sparkling wine from Arthur's hand, poured a little into Charia's glass, and poured a little for herself.
The whole of Paris was engulfed in flames. A group of firefighters were driving firefighting mechas and working hard to put out the fires. The sound of sirens mixed with the wails of people echoed in the streets.
The group of military planes that bombed West France just now were also shot down while being chased by West France fighter jets.
This was a group of dead soldiers who were destined to die the moment they flew over in a bomber.
Since August last year, the German army has intended to launch a large-scale offensive first on the Western Front based on the Schlieffen Plan that was formulated and revised before the war.
However, they were vigorously resisted by the British, French and Burundi armies in the First Battle of the Marne (September 5-12).
This was the first large-scale strategic decisive battle in the war, with more than 1.5 million people participating on both sides.
After the first Battle of the Marne, the German army's plan for a quick victory was completely bankrupt, and they had to retreat to the Aisne River line and reached a stalemate.
The Allied forces launched an attack on the German defense lines from September 15th to 18th, but were repulsed.
Since then, the two combatants have shifted from mobile warfare to positional warfare in the area from the Oise River to the Swiss border.
From September to October, the Allied forces and the Germans engaged in the "Race to the Sea" campaign in the vast area between the Oise River and the Pas de Calais. Both sides tried to outflank the other side, but failed.
At the end of October, the German army launched the first Battle of Ypres. The two sides had a mutual victory and defeat, and finally fell into a stalemate.
From then on, the Western Front formed a continuous front from the Swiss border to the Pas de Calais and entered the stage of positional warfare.
On the eastern front, Tsarist Russia's First and Second Armies took the lead in attacking Persia through the Caspian Sea and land on August 16.
But the Second Army was annihilated under the siege of Beichen.
In September, the Tsarist Russian Southeast Front launched an attack on the Beichen Group Army, but was defeated and suffered heavy casualties.
In early November, the Austro-Hungarian Empire invaded Serbia, resulting in a conflict on the Denali River.
With Tesla's technology, the intensity of the conflict even exceeded the battlefield on the east and west fronts.
In the first impact, nearly ten thousand people from both sides were killed here.
That was when Xia Ya watched the war on Sky Island with Albus and others.
Both sides used land ships. This huge land combat platform added more cruelty to this war.
People who have just entered the 20th century have gradually understood the cruelty and bloodshed of post-industrial thermal weapons wars since this war.
By 1915, the war had also reached a stalemate.
The huge investment in war and the huge sacrifices brought about by the era of thermal weapons after entering the industrial era have put great pressure on all countries in the world.
The German Empire was eager to advance the front, so it embarked on various military adventures.
If nothing else happens, the battle known as the "meat grinder" may also appear this year.
"I remember, the new semester of Hogwarts is about to begin, right?"
Xia Ya said while enjoying the food in front of her.
Isabel nodded, "It has been a few days since the beginning, and the class separation ceremony has been completed."
Xia Ya nodded, he looked at Ekaterina, raised his hand and tapped her forehead lightly.
At that moment, her pupils shrank to a point.
She felt that there was a lot more knowledge in her mind, which was part of the knowledge about a type of magic called "additional".
Even if it was only part of it, the huge amount of knowledge still made her feel dizzy.
A huge amount of energy surged through her body. But at this moment, she clearly knew the name of that energy - magic.
If the magic power contained in her body was just a small pool in the past, now it is extremely deep, comparable to Lake Baikal, which has eight times the total amount of fresh water in China.
But for some reason, this huge magic power surged into her brain, followed by a sense of transparency as if her soul had been unchained.
In an instant.
Countless memories that did not belong to her appeared in her mind.
No...that is the memory that belongs to her, but it is another life...
"Power is the best beauty agent."
"You are excellent. What you lack is just confidence."
Another image appeared in her mind. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves on a man's head. The silver-white hair roots were filled with color, and a smile hung on his handsome face, blooming like a summer flower.
Like the warm sun tearing through the night sky in the early morning.
Her eyes gradually regained focus and looked at Xia who was sitting at the top.
His appearance gradually overlapped with that of the person in her memory.
There was a flash of starlight and unnoticeable determination in her eyes, but it was quickly hidden in those clear eyes.
"Do you remember anything?" Xia Ya asked.
"I feel like there are a lot more things in my head, a kind of magic called 'additional'." Ekaterina said.
"This magic is very important." Xia Ya whispered, "It is related to the future of this world, so think about it carefully."
After a pause, he continued to ask, "Besides, do you remember anything else?"
Ekaterina shook her head.
Xia nodded and did not ask further questions. Over the years, he had learned a lot about Hades when he went to play chess with Thanatos.
For example, in the legend of China, Meng Po soup, which directly cleanses memory, is a recipe only available in the underworld.
In the West, many pantheons generally choose to seal the memories of reincarnated people.
However, even Meng Po Tang cannot completely erase the memory left in the soul.
In the human world, some beings with huge magical powers will have a certain probability of breaking through this seal and obtaining the memories of past lives.
But it’s just a slight probability. It’s normal not to remember...
