Heisang Town.
This town is famous for its black mulberry tree, which not only produces sweet and sour mulberries, but more importantly, among these ordinary mulberries, there is a chance that special giant mulberries will appear. Mulberries.
This is a fruit that contains mysterious power and will appear randomly during the fruiting season, which also makes these black mulberry trees a huge wealth.
The battles surrounding this small town have occurred countless times, and the owners will change almost every once in a while. But the good news is that no matter who occupies Heisang Town, it will not matter to the townspeople. What harm could it do.
Without the care of these mulberry farmers, the number of mulberry trees in Black Mulberry Town would have died. No matter who is in power, this is a loss.
So in the context of war, Heisang Town, a small town with only more than 200 people, has fallen into a rare kind of tranquility, although no one knows how long this tranquility can be maintained. .
On this day, under a mulberry tree that was more than 20 meters high and looked like a giant umbrella, a dark-skinned girl hurried over.
"Aaron, Aaron, where are you?"
She stood under the tree and shouted anxiously.
Uh-huh!
Suddenly, a ripe mulberry fell from the sky and hit the girl on the head.
Then, from the dense tree canopy, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes poked his head out, and said with a smile: "Sister Nana, you miss me so soon, or I will go to your house tomorrow. Propose marriage, let you marry me!”
“Oh, stop playing!”
At other times, the girl would have blushed and run away, but now she was stamping her feet anxiously: "The nobles in the town have come to recruit soldiers again. This time they are calling for you to go. My father asked you to run away quickly. Leave the town and hide for a while, and then come back secretly later."
"Did you hear that? Get out now. The road out of the town will be blocked later and you won't be able to escape even if you want to!"
She said eagerly.
“For the recruitment, you asked me to go by name?”
The young man’s face changed drastically and he almost fell off the tree, “I must have offended the young master of the recruitment officer. He is here Take revenge on me!”
“Hey, stop talking so much and run away!”
The girl took out a package from her back, "Everything is ready for you, including food and clothing. They are all in here."
"Okay!"
Aaron Congshu He slid down, took the package, ran two steps outside, stopped again, turned around and said to the girl: "Sister Nana, just wait for me, I will definitely come back to marry you!"< br>
“Yes!”
The girl nodded, watching the boy’s back gradually disappear, her expression full of worry.
The wilderness today is not as safe as it used to be. There are not only hungry beasts, but also powerful mysterious creatures, escaped soldiers, terrifying abyss believers, etc. But even if it is so dangerous, it is much better than being forcibly recruited.
You know, to be a soldier now is to die in the eyes of many people.
Because today's battlefield is completely dominated by mystics and professionals. The role of ordinary people is to use their bodies as human shields, slowing down their actions, and becoming the dead souls under their hands when they are unparalleled.
Even if you are lucky enough to escape without death, you will not be released home, but will continue to fight on the battlefield until you die.
For ordinary people, once they are drafted, it is equivalent to being issued a death notice, and the chance of coming back alive is less than one percent.
Aaron's parents died in the war. He was taken in by the people in the town and grew up with a lot of food. However, before he reached adulthood, he was forced to serve as a soldier. Naturally, he didn't want to go at all. So I had no choice but to run away.
He was lucky. He was not stopped when he left the town and successfully escaped into the wild.
However, in order to avoid those people chasing him out, Aaron decided to escape a little further, and then find a safe place to stay first and see when he could return to the town.
"Damn it, it would be great if that nobleman was defeated, so that I can go back soon."
At night, he huddled in a cave, and a small little boy rose in front of him. The fire, he muttered.
Once the regime changes, naturally no one will pay attention to the whereabouts of this little guy.
"Ahem, Heisang Town should be breached soon." Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded in his ears.
“Who?!”
Aaron was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground and looked in the direction of the sound in horror.
Swish, swish, swish.
Following the sound of footsteps, a rickety figure walked into the cave, but it was an old man with a pale face. His eyes seemed to have been gouged out alive, leaving two bloody holes, which looked extremely... Infiltrate people.
"I'm just a poor man passing by."
The old man whispered.
“Be careful!”
Suddenly, Aaron rushed out to help the old man. It turned out that there were several big rocks in front of him. If he didn't pay attention, he would definitely trip.
"Thank you!"
The old man's body trembled, and he helped him to sit beside the fire. He saw Aaron's back to him, and he was taking out something. In the blood holes that covered his eyes, wisps of green aura gradually condensed and shot out like sharp arrows.
"I only have dried mulberries here. Do you want to eat them?"
At this moment, Aaron held a handful of mulberries and asked.
The old man's face trembled, and the green aura that burst out suddenly shrank back when it was about to contact Aaron.
So Aaron, who knew nothing about it, turned around and kindly handed the dried mulberry to the old man's hand. The old man picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it twice, "Look" looked at Aaron: "Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person?"
"You are so miserable that you can't even see, how can you hurt me?"
Aaron was curious. asked rhetorically.
The old man was silent for a moment, and after eating a handful of dried mulberries, he took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Aaron: "Thank you for the food, this is your reward. ! ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave. After leaving, he said: "Also, don't trust people too easily in the future. The world is more complicated and cruel than you think."
< br>"When you crave power, drink it. There is a 90% chance that you will die, but a 10% chance that you will survive."
Ignoring the expression on Aaron's face, he raised his head The feet went out.
"90% chance of death, isn't this poison?"
Aaron looked at the small glass bottle in his hand, which contained a viscous pale golden liquid, glowing faintly in the dark. At first glance, it looked like it was not a mortal thing. He swallowed hard and was about to tell the old man that he didn't need this thing and was going to give it back to him.
Looking up, the old man's figure had disappeared.
After he chased him out, he only saw a line of extinguishing green footprints in the darkness.
Swish, swish, swish!
Before he could react, several streamers of different colors suddenly flashed across the sky, chasing after the old man in the direction where he disappeared. There was also a faint roar, asking him to put something away. Hand it over.
Then, a dazzling light burst out.
Aaron shuddered, hid the glass bottle in his arms, and carefully retreated into the cave.
“It’s over, don’t come to me!”
Although he was young, he instinctively felt that he seemed to be involved in some vortex.
What he didn't realize was that above the cave, a colorful leopard was staring at him, and at the same time it emitted a faint ripple, covering the surrounding area to prevent him from being discovered.
“To use a cliché, is it time for the wheels of history to start turning?”
The leopard had weird purple vertical pupils and said with a low smile.
