Chapter 5 Pastor Anna(1/2)

Rhodes continued to explore the Tower of the Sun while thinking about the rules of the game.

If nothing else, this Tower of the Sun should be the number one “wonder” in Novice Village, and maybe some articles can be made about it.

Just like the plot of high-rise buildings in the real world, players' love for "spectacles" is unimaginable.

Maybe you can treat the construction of a new Tower of the Sun as a wonder mission in the future!

Thinking of this, Rhodes suddenly saw strange sun towers springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

There are many floors in the Tower of the Sun, but they are not wasted and almost all of them are utilized to a considerable extent.

However, the higher the floor, the more confidential it is.

But starting from the fiftieth floor, the situation becomes different.

The forty-ninth floor of the Tower of the Sun.

As soon as Hajime arrived on this floor, Rodton was surprised.

Because the space on this floor is extremely large, at a glance, it is actually the size of a real town.

But in such a small "town", Rhodes saw mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, beaches, and cities.

Of course, all of this is extremely "miniature", a bit like the "Splendid China" of the previous life, which moved all the mountains and rivers from the outside world into one place.

Unlike the darkness outside, here the sun shines brightly, the wind is gentle, and the air exudes an alluring fragrance.

A large number of tourists are scattered throughout it, and it is peaceful and peaceful, enjoying the sun, rain and dew.

[It’s not that the nobles are drunk and dreaming. It’s interesting!]

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

This is not surprising in any world!

What really surprised Rhodes was that although the clothes of these people enjoying the sun and rain were clean, they were all patched.

This can also be explained by lack of resources.

But all of them have rough skin, and you can tell at a glance that they are the kind of people who are used to hard work, rather than some aristocratic people who have nothing to do with the sun.

One of them completely caught Rhode's attention.

Because, there is a woman who "stands out from the crowd"!

A beautiful person is beautiful even if she is wearing a sack. Although she does not have gorgeous clothes, her own capital is enough to overwhelm everything else.

With just one glance, Rhodes confirmed that she was of extraordinary origin and well-educated.

The girl said solemnly to the people around her——

"The 'city' you are seeing now is Stio, the capital of the Kingdom of Wecero, our former homeland. It was also known as the Iron City."

"After Bruno, the first president, came to power, he was afraid of repeating the mistakes of previous administrations and began to rule with more severe high-pressure. But only one month later, Bruno was sent to the guillotine."

"The political situation has become increasingly unstable, and no one has enough prestige and skills to subdue many careerists."

"Separation, conquest, plunder, hunger, and plague. In a short period of time, the former royal capital almost turned into a dead city."

The girl's voice was sad and contagious, and the faces of many people surrounding her were particularly solemn.

"In the following hundreds of years, the darkness reached an extreme, especially as the glow of the Tower of the Sun diminished again and again, making everyone feel that the end of the world was coming."

"In that era, there were no real human beings. Everyone was a beast in human skin. Until the appearance of Saint Hilda."

Speaking of Saint Hilda, not only the girl, but also the surrounding audience looked enthusiastic.

"The following deeds must be familiar to everyone. Inspired by the slogan 'Live like a human being', more and more like-minded people began to gather behind the Saint, and the Knights Templar were re-established."

"Under the conquests of the Knights, the cannibals were executed, the land was taken back to the public, and the great statues were re-erected. This is how we now have the City of Dawn!"

As the girl talked about ancient times, Rhodes suddenly realized why this city in the apocalypse was so orderly, and even the people's hearts were not lost.

It’s not that there was no loss, but that after the loss, one awakened and regained the lost “human heart”.

This reminded Rhodes of Liu's "The Three-Body Problem". What humans have to do is to give civilization to time, rather than giving time to civilization!

But obviously, the cost of regaining lost hearts is heavy!

Behind them, a young girl harshly lectured a few troublemakers, and several of them lowered their heads in frustration.

Seeing this situation, Rhodes couldn't help but laugh.

These people seemed to be having fun, but in fact they were also taking a history and politics class, and this girl who stood out from the crowd was a history teacher.

I have to say that this kind of education method is really brilliant.

In an era when sunshine is so scarce, the teachings under the sun will definitely be remembered deeply.

With the girl's persuasion, one of them, who had been silent for a while, reported to the girl after hesitating for a while.

It turns out that the core reason why they caused trouble this time was because they believed the rumors.

Rumor has it that the Tower of the Sun in the City of Dawn is about to burn out. In order to reduce the population, the top brass of the Knights deliberately sent their relatives on expeditions again and again.

It's called an expedition, but it actually means fewer mouths to eat.

When everyone heard this, they were startled and all looked at the girl.

The girl's body was stiff and her eyes were a little moist.

A few seconds later.

The girl took a deep breath and said, "They are right. The brilliance of the Tower of the Sun has once again diminished, and food production will inevitably decrease again. Expeditions do have the intention of reducing food consumption!"

Everyone was stunned.

The girl's name is Anna, and her identity is the priest of the Cathedral of Light.

Since Saint Hilda rebuilt the Cathedral of Light, the cathedral has had a lofty status in the City of Dawn.

No one expected to hear such cruel words as "reduce consumption" from the mouth of a cathedral priest.

What did the cathedral think of them?

Supplies?!

Anna looked at the people who were silent, but their hearts felt like a volcano about to erupt, and said, "The Red Lotus Knight who led the team on this expedition is my biological sister, and the Frost Knight who led the team on the expedition a year ago is mine.

My dear brother."

Everyone was shocked.

They really don’t know this!

A year ago, the Frost Knight went on an expedition, and only half of his arm came back.

But the core of darkness brought back by his comrades in arms replenished the Tower of the Sun with a batch of fuel and kept the City of Dawn stable for half a year. Everyone was grateful for his kindness.

And this time Anna’s sister led the team to fight again

Everyone immediately felt guilty and apologized to Anna.

Anna smiled, just like the blooming snowdrop.

"It doesn't have to be like this. No one in the City of Dawn cannot die. My brothers and sisters are my blood relatives. The other dead warriors are also other people's brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers and children."

Speaking of this, I was speechless.

A young girl cried and said, "Sister Anna, do we really have no hope?"

Anna stroked the girl's hair and said, "Yes, there will definitely be, and His Majesty the God King will definitely save us!"

"Liar, we have been waiting for thousands of years!"

Everyone was desperate.

Anna knelt down, smiled and helped wipe away the tears from the corner of a young child's eyes, and said, "Don't give up, there will still be hope after all. You are still young, now you just need to eat well and grow up quickly, and become an elf envoy as soon as possible.

It will be up to you to protect the City of Dawn!"

Talking about the elf envoy, several children suddenly became excited and chattered about the bright future after signing a contract with the elf. On the contrary, several older children showed a lot of doubts in their eyes.

As for the adults, their eyes were just numb.

[Sure enough, only children are carefree, adults no longer believe in miracles!]

Seeing this, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh.

Think about it, in this world, spirit messengers are practitioners.

How can it be so easy to become a spiritual practitioner?

What's more, problems have long appeared on the path of the Elf Envoy!

Obviously, in this seemingly peaceful City of Dawn, the bottom of the water is not as peaceful as imagined.

Thinking about it, as long as the crisis of the failure of the Tower of the Sun is not resolved, it will only be a matter of time before people's hearts fall again.

time flies.

In about an hour, the number of tourists enjoying the sun and rain on this floor changed.

And Anna once again took the trouble to tell everyone about the ancient times, telling everyone over and over again that even if the City of Dawn inevitably fell, they still hoped to die as human beings.
To be continued...
