Chapter 800 Phase I Students


Chapter 800 Phase I Students

Rumble——

The roar of the train echoed in the carriage, but the sound did not seem to come from the ground, but diffused from the surrounding "starry sky".

This is not an ordinary train. Its trajectory is not on land, but shuttles through a dreamlike rainbow of lights.

The entire train seems to be wrapped in rainbow light. Those gorgeous lights are not static, but flowing and intertwined, as if they are alive, pulling the train into a mysterious and vast world.

The scene outside the window is strange and magnificent.

As the deep world that is a branch of the [Ether Ocean], the scenery here is like pictures that cannot be described in human language, constantly passing by outside the car window.

In the distance, two huge creatures were fighting, their bodies occupying half of the sky.

One is made of burning stars, and the other is covered in the twisted aura of the abyss like a black hole.

They are devouring, tearing, and gnawing at each other.

Farther away, a strange storm was brewing.

At the center of the storm is a huge ether vortex, its color constantly changing between blue, purple, and red, constantly swallowing everything around it.

Countless flashing light points were sucked in and thrown out in the storm. Floating ruins and even broken starships could be vaguely seen in those light points.

The train continued to travel, passing through an endless sea of ​​light. The ripples on the sea reflected scenes that were not part of reality.

Those reflections are not from the train, but like some memory fragments from the past:

A shining golden palace is crumbling; an image of a city looms, but it seems to be hanging upside down in the sky.

The light and shadow outside the window are intertwined, like a dreamy flowing scroll.

The colorful light lifted the train towards the unknown distance, but the curly-haired young man Alaz Trinkas by the window was already immersed in his own thoughts. His eyes chased the wonders of the outside world, but scenes of his past flashed through his mind.

*

*

Alaz Trincas, fifteen years old, comes from Irkos City in the Youyang League.

The city of Irkos is located in the Magnesia region, near the sparkling Gulf of Pagasay.

It is backed by the plain of Thessaly and faces the blue of the island of Evia, but it is cast an eternal shadow by its proximity to the Daevite border.

This place, in the final analysis, is an embarrassing place where father does not care about mother and father does not love her - it is neither rich nor important, has neither strategic position nor resource value.

There is a thinly veiled area in Irkos City, where the border is like a place where reality and fantasy intersect.

The land is sparsely populated and development is backward. Even the peacekeeping troops of the Central Alliance are too lazy to go deep into the hinterland - no one wants to conflict with the Daevite army over a piece of wasteland.

And this land that no one cares about has been quietly soaked in the atmosphere of Daevite immigrants.

They gradually hollowed out the original urban structure and oppressed the living space of the original residents.

Conflict, struggle, and revenge have become the main themes of Irkos City.

In this broken town, extraordinary abilities and lineage technology are regarded by the locals as some kind of "witchcraft", an unexplainable and irresistible force.

In this city, the presence of the Daevite nobles is like a hanging shadow.

They hold unspeakable power and can see everything hidden behind the veil.

Araz Trinkas had witnessed the horrors of the Daevites firsthand.

Their ritual killings are not just for belief, but more of a pursuit of power.

He has heard about and seen those heinous scenes with his own eyes:

In the sacrifices of the Daevites, the lives of living people are turned into energy to promote some kind of evil witchcraft activities.

This behavior is not only religious fanaticism, but also a bottomless use of the power of blood.

The Daevites used blood sacrifices to transform a terrifying creature-the tree golem.

Araz once observed those monsters from a distance:

They are three meters tall, and their appearance is a mixture of plants and bone materials, exuding a cold atmosphere.

The limbs of the golem are like thick tree roots, and the joints reveal a rugged skeletal structure.

Once a Daevite puts his left hand into the hand-shaped groove of the golem and whispers "awakening" in the Daevite language, these dormant creations will come to life.

They will obey their master's instructions, like a ruthless law enforcer, smearing blood on every piece of soil.

Araz remembered one time when the Daevites used this golem to suppress a riot.

Golems walk the barren streets, crushing the will of those who resist.

However, the Daeva are not content with mere control.

They firmly believe in the blood sacrifice prophecies and believe that they can glimpse the future through the burning of life.

Afar Nikinos, a Daevite high priest, was the extreme embodiment of this belief.

During a blood sacrifice ceremony, he received a disturbing prophecy:

"A man wearing a single sandal would threaten Daeva's rule in the city of Irkos."

After the prophecy spread, the Daevites began to intensify their search for the "man with one sandal."

Coincidentally, just last month, Araz lost a shoe in an "accident."

When he returned to the city of Irkos in disgrace, he was wearing only a single sandal.

It was at this time that Afar Nikinos, who had just completed the blood sacrifice, locked his traces through the golem network throughout the city.

The story has developed to this point. According to common sense, Araz Trinkas should have been sacrificed by the Daeva tribe in front of the blood altar.

However, fate always likes to tease those who believe in prophecies

——If you don’t try to prove the authenticity of the prophecy, the prophecy will often not come true.

The twist of fate came from a storm.

A war orphan, Araz made his living by fishing in the Gulf of Pagasay.

The twist of fate came from a storm.

On the day of the incident, he rowed a boat out to sea as usual. Unexpectedly, the sky suddenly changed, a storm suddenly rose, and huge waves swallowed everything.

The storm tore through the sky over Pagasay Bay, with dark clouds looming over the top, and the waves crashing against the shore like furious beasts.

Curly-haired young man Alaz Trincas held the oar tightly and struggled against the wind and waves, but his fishing boat seemed so helpless in the storm.

He gritted his teeth and tried to bring the boat back to the shore, but the power of the huge waves mercilessly swallowed everything up. His oars broke, the boat capsized, and the whole world was submerged in the cold water.

He sank into the water, his lungs filled with salty water, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

Just when he thought his life was over, a purple light pierced the darkness of the deep sea.

In the purple light, a strange figure emerged.

Araz felt as if his body was being held up by some kind of warm force. He no longer felt suffocated, and actually found that he could breathe in the water.

He stared dumbfounded at the "Lake Spirit" in front of him.

It was a beautiful purple-haired woman with delicate facial features as perfect as a sculpture.

He has never seen such a beautiful... doll?

She is about the same size as a doll, suspended in the water, yet exuding an indescribable majesty and mystery. Araz had never seen such a being before. He was stunned on the spot, unable to even feel the fear.

"I ask you——"

The purple-haired woman spoke, her voice clear but with some unquestionable majesty.

"Are you the representative chosen by the courtyard?"

Araz was confused by this sudden question and was filled with doubts.

He opened his mouth subconsciously and uttered:

"Huh?"

When the purple-haired woman heard this, a helpless expression appeared on her face, as if she was very dissatisfied with the answer.

She muttered: "Aren't the lines I designed good enough..."

Then, she continued in a serious yet casual tone:

"Forget it, forget about it. I am the 'Admissions Director Hope Ahabbate' of the Earthly Courtyard.

Next, I want to give you an enlightenment. ”

Hope raised a finger slightly, and a faint light emitted from the fingertips, covering Araz's whole body.

She didn't care whether the curly-haired young man understood it or not, so she started to explain:

"This is the power that Abraham got from Wendettinment III - the miraculous ability of the 'Little Mister' series.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you: ‘Yard·Genealogy Entry Enlightenment’.

Not every student can meet the conditions. Only under special timing and conditions, I can use Abraham's [Mobius Strip] combined with Wendettinment's ability to be randomly summoned by the humans of Terra to perform this... share of strength. Rest assured, this entry will fit you perfectly and grow with you. ”

Araz felt the dim light gradually penetrate into his body, like some kind of mark imprinted on his soul.

An indescribable and wonderful feeling arose in his heart. Just when he was about to ask something, Hope said first:

"However, everything God gives comes with a price."

What the price was, before he could hear clearly, the world in front of him fell into darkness.

When Araz woke up again, he found himself lying on the beach of Pagasay Bay.

The sun was shining from between the sea and the sky, and his body was wet, but everything seemed calm.

Looking down, he saw that there was only one shoe left on his foot, and the other one was missing.

The sea breeze carries a moist salty smell.

He sat up and looked up at the sparkling sea, full of doubts in his heart.

This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!

At this moment, his eyes were attracted by something on the beach - a letter.

The envelope looked ordinary, but when Araz got closer, he found that it was not ordinary.

It was made of off-white material and had some beautiful words written on it in green ink. However, in Araz's eyes, these letters were completely unfamiliar symbols, twists and turns that made people confused.

——Araz doesn’t know many words. The environment he lives in determines his cultural level.

The envelope is sealed with a piece of bright red wax, and a complex emblem is engraved on the wax seal:

An iron crown surrounded by a delicate metal arc, dotted with twelve gems burning with the brilliance of stars.

There is also a small obsidian star in the center of the crown, with its surface covered with fine runes.

He picked up the envelope and fumbled with the edge of the wax seal with slightly rough fingers, but these delicate symbols still could not provide him with the answer.

Just when he was confused, the coat of arms of the Iron Crown suddenly glowed slightly, and then, a warm and wonderful feeling poured into his mind.

【Ding——】

【Civilization survives·marked! 】

This voice did not come from the outside world, but appeared directly in the depths of his consciousness.

Araz was so shocked that he almost threw the envelope away, but the next second, he suddenly realized... he could read the text on the envelope!

Not only that, these words are no longer simple symbols, but like knowledge engraved deep in his soul. He can clearly understand no matter how complex the vocabulary is.

He lowered his head and read the contents on the envelope carefully:

[On the northwest coast of Pagasay Bay, Shoal No. 3, three kilometers outside Irkos City - Araz Trincas Collection! 】

This is where he is currently.

This degree of accuracy frightened and shocked Araz. Moreover, he didn't even know the pronunciation of these letters before, but now he completely understood their meaning.

Alaz Trincas has always been...

Very envious, very envious, very envious... those who can read words, those who can read.

Those who could open the pages of the book and read out the contents fluently seemed to have mastered some great magic in Araz's eyes.

He once secretly listened to a wandering scholar who could read read a story in a ruined temple near the city of Irkos. That was the first time he knew that a book could contain the entire world.

From then on, he stubbornly believed;

Literate people, people who read, people who write books, people who can touch knowledge and enter stories...

——They are the happiest existences in the world.

Now, such happiness has actually come to him.

He can understand words!

This feeling was like a sudden miracle, which he couldn't believe or squander.

He subconsciously looked down at his hands. His fingers were rough from years of fishing and were stained with sand and mud.

He frowned and quickly wiped his fingers on the corners of his clothes, trying to get them clean.

He felt that words were a sacred thing, not worthy of being touched by dirty hands.

With awe and endless desire for words, Araz carefully turned the envelope over and slowly opened it from the seal.

The red wax seal made a slight sound when it broke, like the beginning of some kind of ceremony.

He held his breath and gently pulled out the letter paper inside with both hands. It was a thick piece of letter paper with a soft luster and golden writing flowing on the paper

Araz held the letter as if it were a priceless treasure.

His eyes greedily followed every word in the letter, fearing that he would miss any details, and even more fear that he would suddenly lose this miraculous ability to read.

His eyes scanned the flowing words without blinking, and his heart was filled with a complex emotion - both a yearning for the unknown world and the ecstasy of finally being able to come into contact with knowledge.
