All the beginning
"Cass, now it's your turn to be the leader. "A group of children are playing games, and on the way to escape, the children have their own way of entertainment.
"What authority does the leader have?" Cass chased after another child his age with a wooden sword below.
"The power to kill subordinates at will. "The children should be talking about the power of the king, the king has such power in their minds, there is no need for a reason to kill, and there is no punishment for killing, and only the king has such power.
"What's the use of this?" Cass couldn't think of the use of killing people, his subordinates all killed, so was he still a leader?
"Let your subordinates be scared and do what you want. "It's strange that this kid knows about this kind of thing, there may be nobles in distress in this group of refugees.
"My mom said that people are free, and even if they are afraid, they don't really do what I want. Cass stopped the chase and looked at the boy.
"Yes, it's not very tiring to think about things, it's tiring to do things, it's not tiring for subordinates to do one thing for a while, but if you ask them to do a lot of things, they will be tired, and they will resist doing it. For leaders, whether subordinates are tired or not, no matter what they do, they must be forced to do more, and their ideas in exchange for life will be realized earlier.
Let them be afraid, and you can let them do things with maximum efficiency. "The little boy didn't know where he got the crooked theory, maybe he heard his father say it.
"Then why make them afraid, pay them more, just let them do it. Cass thought it was easy to fix.
"Wouldn't it be better if you could get your subordinates to do more without paying more. The little boy couldn't understand why Cass thought that.
"That's a bad leader, a good leader I want to be. "Cass is ready to be the leader and play this game.
"Today, we're going to explore the ancient ruins, and I heard from my parents that it's very close to the ancient ruins. "Cass is the leader, it's actually the leader of the day, and Cass will decide what everyone plays.
"This won't work. "Basically in unison, these children look like they were warned by their parents.
"I decided to be a bad leader anyway. Cass looked at the children and thought for a moment.
Cass led the children, and without any preparation, set off for the ancient ruins. At this time, Cass realized that it feels good to be a bad leader, and the power of a bad leader can make subordinates not listen to anyone else, and they don't have to follow reasonableness and do the right thing.
In fact, the ancient ruins of Gumu have been controlled by adults, and many unrelated adults can't enter, let alone the group of children in Cass. Cass they get there, even if they get there, it doesn't matter if they can't get in at all, Cass they think so, Cass leads them to explore there, a strange stone, some flowers and plants are the object of Cass's exploration.
"Jen, you lie on this slate. "Cass they found a stone slab with a lot of strange words and patterns on it, apparently this slate was discarded here because there were traces of moving tracks. Naturally, this slate has been studied and has little value.
Zhan looked at the dusty slate and didn't want to lie down, but this resistance was not particularly strong, when he was on duty as a leader, he was not a good leader, and if he wanted to continue to play in this group, Zhan needed to abide by the rules of the community, of course, Zhan was not clear about all this, but he felt that he should do this, this feeling has not yet risen to the level of clarity, to the level of summarizing the rules, and has not completely risen to the level of comprehension, it is a vague feeling, it should be like this.
Zhan was lying on the stone slab, of course, not in the center, in fact, there was as much dust, and Zhan felt that there was less dust on the edges. Cass didn't know what Zhan was thinking, and he didn't have the idea that adults had to do things according to their own standards, as long as Zhan lay down on the stone slab, he was happy.
Kas and they started to play sacrificial games, and the sacrificial activities they had seen had fragmentary memories, so in the sacrificial games they played, what items and rituals, as long as they remembered, they were all used again, and Zhan Jue was bored, because he could only lie down.
The sun is good, the temperature is good, the wind is warm, and the immature sacrificial cavity of a group of children around him is singing that no one can understand, and Zhan, who has a sense of security, falls asleep, which means that his eyes are closed and his ears are closed.
Zhan had a dream in which he became a speedy man and experienced strange things. Zhan was awakened because he was killed in the dream, and fear woke Zhan. The reality is that the slate suddenly disappears and Jen falls to the ground.
The others stopped their rituals and looked at Cass, and Jen stood up and looked at Cass. Cass looked at the sky, it was almost dark, and he was going home. The game is over, and a group of people leave the ancient ruins of the ancient pasture. Zhan was a little puzzled, because he had a quick dream, and he found that looking around him would produce a lot of magical realizations that he felt.
Zhan ran home from a temporary gathering place for refugees, afraid of the reproach of his parents and elders. Zhan didn't know that something had happened to him before, why did his parents feel uncomfortable, and what reason did his parents have to worry about him? Now these don't seem to be questions, Zhan can think of answers.
However, today seems to be a bit unusual, Zhan stopped running, the surroundings are a little quiet, the people around him are no longer noisy, Zhan knows what is happening, he must also be quiet, everything should be clear when he gets home. Zhan didn't have the ability to guess what was going on, the conditions were completely inadequate.
The door of the house was open during the day and closed at night, and it had always been like this, and Zhan didn't think there was anything strange about it. In the past, when he went home, Zhan Du shouted at the door that he was back, informing his mother that now he secretly looked inside the door to check, in fact, the house was not big, and it was not tortuous, and he could see everything inside clearly at a glance.
His parents were talking to a middle-aged man, and Zhan pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation, which Zhan couldn't understand when the adults said before. Now he can understand, it is about his own schooling, Zhan did not expect that the children of refugees also have the opportunity to go to school, and Zhan did not listen to the rest of the matter.
"Zhan, tomorrow you go to the Buda store, the people there will send you to the Builder Academy, I don't know which Builder Academy you will go to, you have to study hard there. After the middle-aged man left, Zhan walked into the room, and his mother said this to him, and Zhan couldn't tell whether his mother was happy or painful.
That night, Zhan went to bed early, and Zhan heard his parents helping him pack his belongings over there. Zhan didn't have any special feelings about leaving here, in the past, Zhan Jue was a relatively dull person, and at the same time he was a person who didn't resist, but now, Zhan couldn't tell what he felt, a special feeling, a little looking forward to it.
In fact, Zhan's luggage is not much, just a small package, and Zhan easily carries this package on his back in the morning, and there are a few sets of clean clothes inside, and there is nothing else. Zhan didn't know why it was just such a small package, his parents had packed it for so long, could he put it in and take it out again?
Zhan set off alone, Zhan is used to this, every day when he goes out to play, he meets some playmates on the way, everyone is talking about the Builder's Academy, knowing this situation, they actively speak about the construction of the Academy, many of which make Zhan feel very surprised, Zhan believes the things that his playmates say, Zhan just believes.
In fact, in this process, Zhan triggered some thinking, but Zhan did not enter the thinking process, the atmosphere here is not for thinking, it is a continuous process of feeling and feeling, Zhan is also in such a process, and after the incident, Zhan will not think about these things, he didn't think about it at the time, and he won't have time to think about it later.
Buda store is dealing in children's playthings, Zhan will go here almost every other day, Zhan always hopes that he has some playthings here, in fact it is impossible, Zhan knows the situation at home, he himself restricts his desires, Zhan can't remember when he learned to restrain himself, it shouldn't be a process of instant change.
"Uncle Ham, I'm going to the Builders Academy. Zhan stood at the counter, staring at a plaything he'd always wanted.
"This way. Ham, who used to joke with Jen, became serious, and Ham thought that talking about the Builder's Academy was something to be respected.
Jen saw that it was a passage going down, and it was pitch black inside, and Jen looked up at Ham, who motioned for Jen to walk in. Zhan walked in, it was still dark in front of him, this was not the passage of the stairs, it was a slope, Zhan could still see Ham when he turned around, and when he kept walking inside, Zhan turned his head several times, and he could clearly see Ham.
After continuing to walk for a while, Jen saw someone standing in the doorway, as if to greet him, and at this point Zhan looked back and couldn't see Ham, only pitch black. Zhan walked to the door, and the other party didn't seem to see him, just stood there until Zhan stepped out of the door.
"Welcome to the Builders Junior Academy, where you will be nurtured in the best possible way. "That's what the other party said, Zhan didn't know the other party's name, and it could be seen that the gender was female.
"Now please follow me. Zhan kept up with the other party, as if he had no choice, not to mention, Zhan seemed to have always been a very obedient person.
It's a big place, there are a lot of children as old as Zhan shuttling around here, and there are many existential things that Zhan hasn't seen before, Zhan has a feeling, since becoming a refugee, Zhan's feeling has been suppressed and silent after encountering a lot of things, it feels like a luxury for Zhan, as a refugee child, it doesn't feel easier to live. Zhan himself is not very clear about this situation, for Zhan, everything is chaos.
