Preface

The Ragnarok of the Gods, the ups and downs, the gods ascended to the throne of Balland, and they were chased in the long river of history.

fade away.

The age of the gods is over, and the millennium-long dispute between Guran and the blood spirits has also drawn a rest.

The two forces that once entrenched Fang took their last breath under the erosion of the Outer God, and immediately followed.

With that, the era of human beings also came to an end with the demon species returning to the ground.

Balland lived through three epochs in these long years, each foreshadowing the continent

The forces were reshuffled and the dynasties changed.

No matter how tenacious and brilliant blood and family are, they are no match for time, and the products that have been eliminated by history.

They were buried together, but now they are all gone, leaving only the lingering branches and vines in the world

The cold twelfth lunar month, Port Keira.

It is said that it used to be the most prosperous port of the Qurandi-Empire, which brought the trade to the empire.

Wealth is innumerable.

This kind of word of mouth often deviates greatly from the real historical data.

How, today it is just an inconspicuous small port of the Human Federation.

Midwinter has come, and both the coolies working in the mills and the farmers working in the fields are over

After a year of work, they have nothing to do at this time, they prefer to stay in their own home and bed

Laying together, or roasting the fireplace, drinking tea imported from the main capital comfortably

The brewed hot tea is like a hibernating bear through the cold winter.

Of course, these must be the kind of farmers who are richer in Port Keira and have a few fields and a few mills.

The only treatment for the owner, because the human federation belongs to the development, the economy of Port Keira is sluggish

Gas, for those hard workers, this winter will be difficult to pass, and they can only curl up in the collective

Trembling in the tent.

And those who have less human rights than these hard laborers are probably those who do not even have homeless people to live in.

And slum children whose parents died.

In the early spring of each year, the Knights are busy, what are they busy with? Naturally, they are freeze-dried.

It's early spring, the snow has melted, and the frozen bones buried in the snow must be disposed of, otherwise the city will

There will be a plague, and there are several dead people on the street, which are not good-looking, which will affect the appearance of the city.

Therefore, every early spring is the busiest time for the knights of Port Keira. It is necessary to know that the people who freeze to death have to be counted in piles. It is not necessary to say how heavy the workload is.

At this moment, in this peaceful Port Keira, the farce is particularly conspicuous.

Several half-sized teenagers are chasing wildly in the snow—one is not a joke

Play, in fact, no one chooses to play in this weather.

They are robbing a teenager of food.

"Run, will you continue to run then??" Pushing the young man to a dead end, the older one led the

Seeing this, the teenager became arrogant and greeted his younger brother viciously to surround the desperate teenager.

"Let you run, I'll let you run!" Everyone punched and scolded the young man while beating and cursing.

And the young man could only tremble and curl up in the corner, holding his head and squatting, praying in his heart that these people would strike lightly-

Some, don't hit important positions, after they get tired, they still have a chance to get up,

Not to freeze to death.

"Hurry up and hand over the bread!" Seeing that the other party was holding on tight and not letting go, the bad boy leader became anxious.

"No, the beaten boy murmured a humble voice.

"Are you looking for trouble? Well, beat me to the death until this kid dies!"

At this moment, how desperate teenager is hoping that someone will come to his rescue, maybe, not much

Will a knight pass by here?

The knights who don't patrol will not get involved in this kind of thing, they tend to be open-

Close one eye.

It wasn't the children of the rich who were beaten. In their eyes, these little beasts followed the ditch.

The rats in the house are as dirty and despicable, even if they are not beaten to death, they will freeze to death.

Besides, these little mice will cause a lot of annoying trivialities every year, and they will die a few more times.

One is good.

So, it's better to turn a blind eye to it and let them do as they please.

Knights are often synonymous with justice and fairness in fairy tales, but in reality

, they are nothing more than powerful eagle dogs, they shout their creeds and beliefs, and their hearts are full of money-making

thought.

Human nature is sometimes colder than the temperature of this white snow.

The young man almost accepted his fate, and he was about to be beaten to death by these young men who were born as lowly as him.

The only difference is that the other party knows how to hold a group, but he only knows how to do it alone. This is the difference.

The knight won't intervene, the other street kids won't get on fire, no one will come

help him.

"Stop!" At this moment, - Sheng Jiao shouted, a nice and crisp voice like

Huang Ying returned to the valley and couldn't help but make everyone turn their heads.

In the heavy snow, a little girl in a tattered sackcloth appeared behind them.

Unlike their jagged brunette and brown hair, the girl has a splendid blond as well.

The costumes of the slum children can't hide the pretty picture

Li's face shows that this girl is a

The little beauty embryo will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up.

Like the beautiful and noble knight in fairy tales, she bravely faced the resistance

male.

"Who are you? I warn you not to meddle in your business!"

I don't know what Lianxiangxiyu is. Seeing being disturbed, the bad boy leader said unhappily.

"Why rob him of his food??" The girl was reluctant, not afraid of the crowd at all

"What about robbing? There are so many of us and he is alone, shouldn't we rob him??"

It's justifiable to say it, but in fact, I can't blame them. Children who grew up in slums have no children.

They don't have parents, they don't know a few big characters, and no one teaches them morality and bottom line.

In their world there is only grab and be grabbed.

"What's more, what if he robbed him? This kid's food is different from the one he robbed? Even if he doesn't

It was stolen, it must have been stolen, huh, such a good bread, this kid can afford it??”

The delinquent boy said as he should, and the boy who was beaten by him also lowered his head silently.

"Bring it!" Taking this opportunity, the bad boy snatched the beaten boy's bread and hummed.

After a few voices, he led people away.

"Are you alright?" the girl asked when she came to the boy

"The boy lying on the ground did not speak.

"Are you hungry, I still have something to eat here." The girl's face showed few expressions.

He took out a crumpled and wrinkled paper bag from his arms, and took out a few pieces of scattered dry food from it.

".

thanks. "After a long silence, the young man spit out these two jerky words from his mouth.

"Eat, I still have some in stock."

In order to repay you for saving me, why don't I take you to eat something delicious. "The latter

The dry food was pushed back, and the boy's eyes rolled.

"No, I didn't help you, didn't I." Speaking of this, the girl felt a little guilty.

"Help, help?" The boy was stunned, then sneered in his heart.

Help or something, who needs your help?? Can you help me? Since you are so

If you want to help me, then help to the end

Obviously, he didn't have the slightest gratitude for the girl who was long overdue.

Affection.

"You're welcome, if it wasn't for you, I might have been beaten to death by them, please accept

Take my repayment, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping and eating. "The boy said emotionally.

The blonde girl hesitated. "But where are we going to eat?"

She didn't think the little boy could afford a meal.

"You still have money for a meal." The boy stood up indifferently, pulling him involuntarily.

The girl's hand moved away.

"Eh? Girls can only be held by boys.

In this season, restaurants are generally closed, and the place where boys and girls go is obvious

Not your average restaurant.

The graceful and luxurious paving, the exquisite marble carvings adorn the door of the restaurant, the golden glaze

Decorate the hotel like a palace

You, invite me to dinner here?" the girl said in disbelief.

Well, don't worry, come with me. "The boy pulled the girl without stopping for the slightest bit.

"Why are you kid again? ? Get out of here, all the leftovers from my house are fed to the dog today!

The guard in front of the restaurant in charge of guarding the door reprimanded him on the spot when he saw it was a boy, but waited until he saw him.

After reaching the girl who was holding the boy behind the boy, he suddenly shut up, and immediately put on-

Vice smiley.

"Oh, is the young master coming to eat again? Please come in, there are many vacancies today

The girl blinked her eyes, not understanding why the guard uncle changed his face like this

quick.

The two took their seats, and even the restaurant owner personally came to greet the guests.

For some unknown reason, the girl always felt that the owner of the restaurant was always looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.

This meal is the best meal the girl has eaten since she was a child, so much so that she eats

Somewhat carried away, he didn't even notice that the boy sitting across from him was eating and eating.

gone

"Thank you for the hospitality." After the meal, the girl politely said thank you for the hospitality and then planned to jump off

When the chair looked for the boy to leave, it was caught by an arm.

"Where do you want to go, little girl?"

Looking back, it was the restaurant owner's kind smile.

"Mr. Boss, have you seen my companion?"

"Oh, you mean that kid who came with you, go."

"Go, go? Where is he going?" The girl was taken aback.

"How do I know? Where he likes to go.

"Then, I have to catch up with him quickly.

"Hey, wait." The boss didn't let go, still smiling. "Little girl

You know, that kid didn't give any money for this meal?"

"No, no money?!

"The girl's beautiful eyes stared at the boss.

"Yeah, if I didn't give money, it's considered to be given." The restaurant owner looked at the girl and smiled

stand up.

"You are the meal money he gave."

"What, what??

"Tsk tsk, this skin and this face are so juicy, she must be a beauty when she grows up, she can sell

A lot of money!" The restaurant owner showed a wicked smile.
