Meteors do not represent good luck in this world. In fact, they are regarded more as a "disaster star" or a bad omen. Therefore, when it disintegrated in mid-air and part of it fell into the forest outside the town, everyone People hid in their homes and prayed to the Emperor to spend this dark night.
There were also people who were curious to see what the falling debris might be. There was no guarantee that it was some kind of valuable metal, but the latest debris fell in the forest. It was late at night, and no one was willing to do this hard work out of fear. , but a girl quietly stepped into the forest.
This is a small act of rebellion. Anyway, there is no need to pick up guests tonight due to special circumstances. Going out is more like a reward. As long as her hands and feet are fast enough when doing things, and the old lady is distracted by other things, she can take advantage of it. Get some free time.
But if she stays away for too long, she will be punished even more severely when she comes back.
However, after many adventures, she had a pretty good idea of just how long she could disappear.
The girl's name is Alisabet. It is a very beautiful name that does not even belong to her identity. It was given to her by her mother, but she usually uses the name "Suet Ball" because she does not want those men to call her. name.
Her mother once told her that one day, an angel would come to redeem them, and he would call their names at that time.
So she firmly believes that only angels can call her name, although she never knows what an angel looks like.
Therefore, compared to the dirty, disgusting mansion and town, the huge, looming forest outside was the place that pleased her the most. She made up countless stories in her mind, all about that A forest, as if those ominous trees could actually breed horror or miracles.
Besides that, the second thing she yearned for was the towering spire in the distance.
Tosun 5 is a colony that has just been colonized for more than 500 years. Human industrial activities and cities have not yet destroyed the planet, but towering urban clusters have appeared. Even small towns on the edge can be seen. The faint glint of the city's spiers.
Elizabet felt that angels might appear there, but she had not saved enough money yet, and perhaps she would never save enough. She still longed to go there one day.
It was late at night, and when she walked on the path outside the town and walked to the edge of the field, she tried to muster up the courage to approach the forest.
To her, it felt like a real battle, and she always doubted whether she could succeed.
The best sister in the house kept telling her that anyone who walked into that forest would never come back, and started telling terrible stories about what happened to them, but her heart was filled with both fear and joy.
After all, no matter how terrifying something is, how could it be more terrifying than their lives?
Perhaps the mysterious story represents some mysterious power.
No matter what happens, if she can find something valuable from the fragments of the meteor, maybe her redemption and relocation plan can be advanced.
Elizabet's third favorite place was an old leafy tree that her mother pointed out to her when she first came near the forest. She had always used it as a landmark on her adventures, but now she saw it. Thinking about things and people, under the moonlight, she couldn't help but shed tears while wearing a long coarse cloth dress.
After staying under the tree for a while, she raised the oil lamp and carefully stepped into the forest. She knew where to go. The problem was the specific location where the meteor fell. After all, it was a big place here and the meteor was small.
As she walked, she soon smelled a faint burnt smell.
There is also a rusty smell.
Blood?
These smells made her nerves and skin tense up, and she instinctively wanted to turn around and leave, but she immediately forced herself to follow the smell.
Curiosity mixed with fear made her hands and feet tremble slightly.
Soon, she found the fragments, which were some burnt black metal. She picked up a piece. It still had some warmth, but it didn't look like something valuable.
As she followed the fragments, the smell became stronger and more complex.
"This is."
When she walked out of the bushes, she saw a small open space in the center of the forest, surrounded by broken trees. There were obvious ablation marks on the ground, and the fragments were scattered radially from here to the surrounding areas.
Many large fragments have been submerged into the ground, and it is no longer clear what they are. This mess of metal has turned the place into a garbage dump.
Suddenly, she noticed a big tree on the right.
A hand?
When she tiptoed around behind the tree, she was startled.
A giant lay under the tree, lying on the huge broken trunk, motionless, as if dead.
She didn't even dare to judge whether the other person was a human being, because the giant was much larger than anyone she had ever seen before, almost five or six times her size. A silver-gray armor covered his body, but it was already It was in pieces, with only the armor on the torso and right thigh still barely intact, but even the slightly intact areas were ablated and smeared with blood.
When Alisabet noticed the other person's right hand, she gasped in surprise, made a noise, immediately covered her mouth, and then retreated tremblingly.
The opponent held a sword in his right hand, and on the sword was strung a horribly deformed head full of sharp teeth. It seemed to still maintain the posture of baring its teeth and claws before death, with a scarlet tongue hanging on the side of its mouth.
The next moment, the girl immediately thought of something——
Angels are the nemesis of dragons and devils. They kill demons and demons without fear.
This is a sentence mentioned by her mother in the bedtime story she read to her when she was a child. Could it be that that huge and terrifying head is the so-called evil dragon? That is to say.
As she studied him from a distance, she couldn't help but wonder if this was an angel.
a fallen angel
How could an angel fall?
She carefully walked a few steps over and saw that the giant was surrounded by blood. In some places, the blood was caked and dried, while in other places it was covered with mud.
He was leaning on the edge of the tree, as if he was dozing off, which meant that he did not "fall", but took a few steps after falling before falling.
From this distance, she could see that he had a human face. Although it was huge, it was very handsome, except that there were two ugly scars on his chin, which seemed to have not healed yet, and seemed to be caused by huge claws.
There were several things hanging on the giant's waist, some she didn't recognize, but some she recognized, such as guns.
Seeing the gun, her stomach tightened suddenly. Why would an angel carry a gun?
She felt a strong curiosity mixed with fear, he was so different from anyone she had ever met.
