"What's the matter, what are you meditating on yourself?"

Zha Hongliang's voice and his violent push made Zhao Yu sober up.

Zhao Yu trembled and shook his head at Zha Hongliang in a daze. "Hungry! ”

"Oh, I said you're a person!" Zha Hongliang poked Zhao Yu's shoulder with his index finger, "Why do you have to think about it alone?"

"Ahh

Zha Hongliang clasped his arms with both hands, showing a tilted head. "Did you say there was?"

Zhao Yu's head slowly fell down when he heard this: "Actually...... I'm just thinking about some questions about reality. ”

"A real problem?"

"That's right!" Zhao Yu sighed before raising his head slightly.

He told him everything he had thought before, from the poor town of Vortex where there were only two career options, swordsman and archer, to the rich town where he could learn everything. From the difference in class to the different educational resources they enjoy, to the children of wealthy families often have access to better trial resources. It can be said that everything he thought of just now was basically packed up and told to Zha Hongliang.

Zha Hongliang was a little overwhelmed when he heard this, and he kept blinking quickly to hide the surprise in his heart. However, after accepting this piece of information, he was able to calm down and explain his thoughts.

"Oh, Zhao Yu, so you're thinking about these things!" Zha Hongliang rolled his eyes, "Actually, I have thought of what you said, and it is also true." But there is no way to do it! This is the case in reality, and this is also the case in today's society. ”

"Huh?"

Seeing that Zhao Yu was a little unclear, Zha Hongliang got a little closer.

"Society has always been so realistic, and there has never been a place where it can be said to be absolutely fair. The children of the rich can get what others can't, that's the reality. No one can change that. After all, people's hearts are always biased. When rich people have money, they naturally want their children to be as wealthy as they are. That's it. ”

Zhao Yu listened to Zha Hongliang's remarks, and his mood became even more discouraged. Zha Hongliang is right, this is the reality. Perhaps, on the first day of birth, the fate of the two children was already predestined.

"So to speak. Zhao Yu, don't think about some things. We were unlucky, we were born into a family with no money, and we couldn't change anything. Zha Hongliang spread his hands helplessly.

"Hungry! I'm not trying to drill any horns, it's just ......" Zhao Yu tilted his head, but couldn't find a suitable sentence to express his inner thoughts for a while.

Zha Hongliang took a deep breath and scratched his forehead with his eyes closed, "I just said it, it's the same everywhere." Don't talk about our Vortex Town, even if you go to other big towns to see, there are also rich and poor, there must be an unfair side. ”

"Well, that's true. ”

"If you expand the scope a little more, not only our Saran Kingdom, but also the other countries of Cellos, almost all of them are the same. After finishing speaking, Zha Hongliang once again emphasized the word 'reality'.

Is it?,Zhao Yu sighed after hearing this. Zha Hongliang has expanded his scope to the entire world of Sailos. It may be true, as he said, that every country has a phenomenon of class solidification.

It's just that in Zhao Yu's mind, there is no concept of a world, and he is also vague about the other countries that exist in Sailos.

"Ah Zha, you said the whole world of Celos!" Zhao Yu raised his head high and looked at the cloudless sky.

"That's right, it's the whole world of Celos. ”

"Then ......" Zhao Yu seemed to be unable to say anything more. He 'oops' and straightened his head. Probably not wanting to think about the uncomfortable things anymore, he instead pretended to shrug his shoulders more easily. "And what is this world called Cellos like?"

"Cellos is Cellos!

"I mean, what are the other countries like in Cellos? It's not just about 'class solidification,' it's about other things. ”

"I don't know, after all, I've never been to any other country. Zha Hongliang casually straightened his legs forward. In fact, not to mention other countries, he doesn't seem to have even been to other towns in the Kingdom of Saran. However, in his sporadic instinctive memory, he still thought of something, "But...... I haven't been there, but I've heard a lot. ”

"Oh?"

"I've heard my grandparents talk about a country. What's the name...... What the...... What to ask for...... Ahh ”

"Sauron Empire. Zhao Yu repeated the name of the country.

"Yes, it's the Sauron Empire. This country is right next to us!" As he spoke, Zha Hongliang pointed to the west.

Following the direction pointed by Zha Hongliang, Zhao Yu looked over there. It seemed that there was indeed such a country, and he had sketched a vague outline in his mind. Once, when he was out shopping for groceries with his mother, he had heard adults talk about a powerful country west of Saran, which seemed to refer to the Sauron Empire.

"I heard that this country is very, very powerful!" While speaking, Zha Hongliang actually stood up, and his tone was much stronger than before, "It seems to be ten times more powerful than our Saran Kingdom, and the population is also very, very large." ”

Zhao Yu felt a sense of unease in his heart.

"That's not all!" Zha Hongliang took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped and turned around, "I've heard the adults around me say it." The Sauron Empire has the most powerful army in the world, and its generals are all good at war. Not to mention that in our place, even in the whole of Cellos, it is one of the most powerful countries. ”

One of the most powerful countries! Zhao Yu's heart was radiated into these big characters. After a long time, he thought of a question.

"Then what kind of level is our Saran Kingdom? Is it strong, or is it ......" He stopped talking, and did not say the word 'weak'. Regarding the strength of his country, Zhao Yu's heart is full of unconfidence.

Zha Hongliang's violent shaking also printed the answer. "Not at all on a level. If you really want to compare, it is one heaven and one earth. We in Saran don't even seem to be a regional power. Ah, we shouldn't be annotated as a strong country in the first place, and our Saran is a weak country. ”

"Hungry!" Zhao Yu felt that he had been knocked on a stick.

"Zhao Yu, you have been in your country for so long, you don't know what Saran is like, right?"

Zhao Yu shrunk his neck when he heard this, and pursed his lips. At this moment, there seemed to be a flash of light in his mind. No, it should have been a bolt of lightning that hit his fragile heart.

Zhao Yu began to tremble uneasily, and his hairs stood on end.

"Ahza. He stared at Zha Hongliang closely, and he didn't dare to take a breath more, "If the Sauron Empire is so strong, our Saran is so weak. So...... So the Sauron Empire won't bully us, right?"

Zhao Yu's worries are well-founded, Sauron and Saran are countries close together, when one side is strong, the other side that is naturally weak will be unlucky.

"You're right. The Sauron Empire will bully us. Zha Hongliang's lips moved, his expression now became almost cold, "I heard that they have an army of millions, hundreds of generals who rank first in the Saillos capital. ”

Zhao Yu gasped, his eyes almost as wide as a light bulb.

Zha Hongliang began to slowly pacing towards Zhao Yu. He could see that Zhao Yu's front was quickly covered by a large shadow, and he already felt that he couldn't breathe normally.

After walking in front of Zhao Yu, Zha Hongliang specially exaggerated the corner of his mouth and drooped his eyes coldly, "Zhao Yu, do you know? ”

"What?"

"They sent hundreds of thousands of troops to invade our country in multiple ways. At that time, almost all of our army in Saran was annihilated. ”

"That'...... So ......"

"Seeing that our country is about to be annexed. At this moment, the tide of battle changed. The Sauron Empire was miraculously defeated and retreated. ”

"For ...... Why ......"

"You don't ask why. Because that's not the point. Speaking of this, Zha Hongliang, who was standing upright, began to twitch violently, as if something terrible had touched every nerve in him," Zhao Yu. I heard that the Sauron Empire is still planning a second invasion of our Saran. ”

"Ah......" Zhao Yu's body also shook with it. Probably out of fear, there was a wet tear in his eyes.

"If they do invade us again, then Saran will definitely not be able to resist this time. And once their army enters our country, then we will be destroyed. The armies of Sauron will kill you and me. Zha Hongliang took turns pointing at Zhao Yu and himself, and then waved to the surroundings, "And everyone here." And that includes your mom. ”

Hearing the word 'mother', Zhao Yu suddenly stood up. He approached Zha Hongliang, raised his hands and grabbed the other party's shoulders.

"Ah, are you really right? Are they really going to kill us all?"

Zha Hongliang slowly looked at Zhao Yu, his eyes full of helplessness. "Really, the Sauron Empire used to do this kind of thing. They invaded many countries, all the way to the end. No country can survive. ”

Zhao Yu's mood at the moment has dropped to the freezing point. He looked around in distraction, then lowered his hand and took a few small steps. He muttered quietly, "What to do?"

Unable to suppress his emotions completely, he grabbed one of Cha Hongliang's arms. It's like grasping at some kind of life-saving straw. "Azha, you said that if the Sauron Empire really invades, what should we do?"

Seeing that Zha Hongliang didn't squeak, Zhao Yu shook his arm vigorously, "What should I do?

Zha Hongliang's face was extremely sad, and he glanced at Zhao Yu weakly, "Yes, what should we do?"

"What the hell should I do?"

Zha Hongliang swallowed, "I don't know either." ”

Such frustrating words made Zhao Yu completely collapsed, and he really wanted to squat down and cry now. Over the years, although his life has been hard, he never thought that he would experience the feeling of the ruin of the country and the destruction of the family. On top of that, he may have to say goodbye to his mom forever. The Sauron Empire would kill him and his mother, and the collapse had made Zhao Yu completely confused.

I only felt dizzy for a while, and Zhao Yu shouted 'Mom, Mom' in his heart. He felt unsettling that he couldn't tell.

"Ahh

Zha Hongliang's sudden cry made Zhao Yu come back to his senses.

"There seems to be a way. Zha Hongliang seemed to remember something, he held his chest high, and his eyes were extremely firm, "I once heard adults say it." There is only one way to defend against the invasion of the Sauron Empire. ”

"What's the way?" Zhao Yu asked anxiously.

"The solution is to ......" Halfway through the words, Zha Hongliang suddenly stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

"Method ......"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Method ......" Zha Hongliang's arms and palms trembled violently.

"Ahh

The scene seemed to be out of control, and an unprecedented pressure hung over Zhao Yu's heart. What was the solution? He was desperate to know.

"The solution is ......"

"What the hell is it?"

"It's ......," Zha Hongliang seemed to be trying to say something. However, every time I get to the key point, it seems that a fish bone is stuck in my throat and I can't say it.

"What is it?"

"Yes......" Zha Hongliang looked directly at Zhao Yu very seriously, "Yes......"

Zhao Yu was looking forward to Zha Hongliang's answer. However, in the next moment, Zha Hongliang suddenly showed a playful expression.

"That is, 'Zha Hongliang, you are so handsome!', just do it. After that, Zha Hongliang spread out his hands and made an exaggerated and strange tone.

"Huh?" Zhao Yu couldn't recover from such a jumping scene for a while. He stared blankly at Zha Hongliang, who was completely different from front to back, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, Zha Hongliang jumped straight up, and slapped Zhao Yu's arm with his hand. "I said Zhao Yu! You're too easy to deceive! I'll tell you casually, and you really believe it!"

"What...... What?"

"I made it all up. How could the Sauron Empire invade us? ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yu still hadn't recovered from the panic just now.

Zha Hongliang smiled sheepishly: "Hey, are you so timid? Are you afraid of what you will become." Hahaha...... If I don't stop, are you going to pee your pants?"

Zhao Yu finally understood everything. It turned out that what Zha Hongliang said just now was made up by him and was used to scare Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu suddenly felt a burst of shame, and he stomped off the ground angrily.

"Zha Hongliang, what do you mean? Do you think this is fun?"

"Alas, alas, don't be angry, don't be angry. Just kidding. Zha Hongliang seemed to be holding back a smile.

"What's there to make of this kind of joke?"

"Hehe, seeing how much you fantasize about the Sauron Empire, I wanted to make up some story to make you remember the name of this country thoroughly. As soon as he saw Zhao Yu clenching his fists, Zha Hongliang Ma Shan took a step back, and still used his hands to block in front of him, "Hey, hey, don't be angry, why do you have to do it!"

Zhao Yu looked at his clenched fists, and finally relaxed. He had never thought of making a move on Zha Hongliang, but he was really angry at his startled performance just now.

"Do you yourself say that this kind of joke can be made casually?"

Perhaps thinking that it was indeed a bit too much, Zha Hongliang twisted and scratched his cheek. He made a 'uh-huh......' sound. After a while, he raised his hands high, "But! There are some things that I don't completely talk about. The Sauron Empire is indeed very powerful. Moreover, it did invade our Saran a few decades ago. It's all true. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yu sank his face.

Zha Hongliang turned to a more serious appearance again. "I don't know much about the specifics, I only listen to the adults in the family. The mighty Sauron Empire invaded Saran, and it was already considered a win, but somehow, it suddenly lost in a daze. ”

"Why did you lose?"

"I really don't know what I said, I listen to other people. Anyway, the reality is that our Kingdom of Salan finally resisted the invasion of the Sauron Empire. And then there we are today. ”

"That's it!" Zhao Yu lowered his head. Soon, however, he became restless again. "Is that what you said going to be true, and will the Sauron Empire invade us again?" he asked anxiously.

Zha Hongliang seemed to be in deep thought. He tilted his head from side to side, his mouth furrowed. "Probably not!"

After making the assumption, Zha Hongliang focused on the head. "Probably not. Our Vortex Town is located on the border of the Salan Chinese Sauron Empire! If there is any change in that country, we will react immediately. At that time, it will be the officials and the army of our country who will consider it, how can it be the turn of young people like us!"

Zha Hongliang seems to have some truth, but it is not enough to fill the hole in Zhao Yu's heart.

"What if...... What if the Sauron Empire really invades us one day?" Zhao Yu's eyes widened, "After all, we are close to the border here! ”

Zha Hongliang was a little speechless. However, after making up his mind, he stretched his chest forward: "It shouldn't be, the invasion ...... decades ago" As soon as the corners of his mouth appeared, he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yu, "This is all what I heard from the adults in my family, it is true, but I didn't make it up." ”

After getting Zhao Yu's nod, Zha Hongliang continued: "After the Sauron Empire's failed invasion of Saran, the two sides heard that they signed a friendship treaty to guarantee that there would be no more wars. So there shouldn't be a second invasion. ”

Zhao Yu relaxed a little at this time. However, he still looked at Zha Hongliang with an extremely complaining gaze: "I saw that you were so terrible before, but it turned out to be a false alarm." ”

"I'm just joking!" Zha Hongliang shook his hand disappreciatively. "Besides, you're taking the problem too seriously. Even if Sauron and Saran see that there is no agreement. Aren't there other countries in Celos? They won't watch the Sauron Empire invade indiscriminately. ”

"Other countries?" Zhao Yu scratched the back of his neck, "Will other countries help us in the Saran Kingdom?"

"Of course it helps. Zha Hongliang's tone seemed categorical, and he pointed in the direction of the east, "There's a country called the Principality of Aria, you know?"

"Principality of Elia?" Zhao Yu frowned and looked to the east.

He clearly remembered that to the east of the kingdom of Saran, there was an endless sea.
