The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the morning breeze of early September lazily sweeps over the Central European city of Hamburg, bringing a hint of early autumn coolness in the warmth. Countless majestic and tall modern buildings are towering and cloudy, row upon row, and the giant LED screens in the commercial area are flashing with dazzling light and shadow; The wide, smooth asphalt road is filled with vehicles and pedestrians, reflecting the bustle and vitality of a world-class metropolis.

In the dense flow of people, a teenager was looking at his surroundings with excitement and novelty. He was about sixteen or seventeen years of age, and had a typical Asian face with black hair and black eyes; Although his facial features do not seem to be very exquisite, they have a heroic, handsome and sunny feeling when they are together. Facing the slightly surprised eyes of the foreign passers-by around him, the young man turned a blind eye, and with a smile on his face, he put all his thoughts on the new city around him, and let out a voice of admiration in the continuous turning of his eyes.

"I've long heard that Hamburg is beautiful and known as the North German Star; Now it seems that it is not worse than what I saw on the Internet pictures before. The young man spoke happily, and the words he uttered were actually the language of the Chinese civilization nearly 10,000 kilometers away. He lifted the strap of the backpack on his back slightly, pursed his lips and smiled: "It seems that in the next four years, I don't have to worry about being bored anymore." Choosing this city was the smartest decision I've ever made. ”

The teenager's name was Fang Yan, and he was a high school student who had just graduated from Gyeonggi Province in the Celestial Empire a few months ago; On his volunteer form, the first place in the list is the engineering and shipbuilding major offered by the University of Hamburg in Germany. The high school teachers and classmates with whom he had been with him for three years were not in the slightest surprise at this unusual volunteer; Because since the day they met Fang Yan, this young man who had lived alone since childhood had undisguised reverence and admiration for the civilization of that Central European country, and had expressed his desire to study in that country more than once. And his dream is not just a brainstorm, but really put hard work into it. While excelling in high school, he also found time to learn German on his own and successfully passed the language test that he had to pass when applying to study abroad. When the admission email from a foreign country was sent to his mailbox, Rao was a strong and independent man since he was a child, and he couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.

"Well, let's see if there are any places to recruit part-time workers." The young man Fang Yan looked around for a while, and then said in a low voice to himself. Because his parents died in an accident shortly after he was born, he had no stable financial resources since he was a child; Although the school that admitted him promised to waive his tuition fee of 10,000 euros for the first year, and the rest of the school year depended on his grades, it was still a headache for him to maintain a basic life in the "drunken Western capitalist world". However, he is strong and cheerful by nature, and never bows his head to the difficulties in front of him; After several consecutive job searches, Fang Yan finally got a part-time job as a front-desk salesperson in a store called "Black Panther".

The "Panther" is a shop that sells military historical items, from the spears and swords of the Prussian army in the Middle Ages to the uniforms and medals of the Kaiser's era. While the vast majority of them are inevitably later counterfeits, the variety and scope of their coverage are truly astonishing. When Fang Yan Fangfu entered this store, he was stunned by its unimaginable breadth of dabbling, and his eyes stopped at the dazzling array of goods like a magnet, and he could no longer leave. Although he possessed a self-reliant character that far surpassed that of his peers, he was only a teenager under the age of seventeen, and he undoubtedly had a heartfelt yearning and admiration for the German army, which had been portrayed as a heroic, tenacious, loyal and strict image on the Celestial Empire's network. In fact, most of Fang Yan's enthusiasm for German civilization is due to his love for the country's army. Sometimes, he even imagined that he could go back in the long river of history and return to the years of conquest without nuclear missiles; And Germany, one of the former twin stars of the world, also changed his life with his help, completely wiped out the British and French red-haired and other despicable villains, and thus allowed this hard-working and rigorous nation to gain the world status it deserved.

In the nearly two months since then, Fang Yan came to this store not far from the school after the holidays and started a side business that he relied on to make ends meet. While helping the boss to look at the store's stocking, he also has a certain understanding of the collection in the "Black Panther". In addition to the best-selling Prussian and Kaiser collar uniforms, the store also houses a large collection of Third Reich relics: since it is illegal to display the swastika logo in public, the logo on these medals and costumes is hidden by cloth wraps or other objects. As for these things from the previous dynasty, the German people seem to be deliberately choosing to avoid them, Fang Yan went to this store to work part-time for nearly two months, and the number of these items sold is a handful.

In order to better adapt to his study abroad life, Fang Yan has carefully studied the current situation of this country in the past summer. He also had a faint sense of the pain, harshness, sorrow, and helplessness of the utter remorse shown by his government and people after World War II. Only in this way will the long-cherished enmity of its close neighbors on the European continent give this country a way out, otherwise Germany, which is under the occupation of the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, and France, will not have any sovereignty and freedom at all.

Although Fang Yan understands the social mood of this people who have suffered many disasters and does not want to mention the old scars, since he is a visitor from a foreign country after all, his mentality, words and deeds naturally do not have as many scruples as the person concerned. In his view, the genocide of the Jews committed by the colossal empire, which once stood proudly in the vast land of the undulating Erga River valley in the east, the Pyrenees in the west, the extreme of Norway in the north, and the African desert in the south, despite its many serious ills in ideology and bureaucracy, was indeed a heinous heinous crime. But at the national strategic level, it undoubtedly sent the German people to a pinnacle that has not been reached for more than a thousand years, and this is precisely the existence of the two English-speaking countries, which are the new and old hegemons of the world, and the long-cherished enemies of the European continent who have repeatedly lost to them.

Therefore, those things of the former dynasty that few people cared about were no different from ordinary things in Fang Yan's eyes; In his spare time, he either brushes up on his homework or looks at the unpopular objects of the past. Among these collections, Fang Yan especially loved a small oak leaf medal engraved with a beautiful texture of pure white, and somehow, from the first time he saw it, he had a strong feeling of wanting to hold it in his hand and treasure it.

"Jonas, do you like this medal?" On this day, the gray-haired shopkeeper Paul returned early, saw Fang Yan looking at the items in front of him and smiling and tasting, and then called the other party's German name and asked. Fang Yan, who came back to his senses, did not deny it timidly, but gave a positive reply quite bluntly; The people of this nation all have more or less stereotyped personalities, and the oriental euphemism and courtesy will make the other party feel unhappy.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Old man Paul smiled and spoke, and his words made Fang Yan's heart surprise and surprise. Seeing the ashamed look of the young man in front of him, Paul patted Fang Yan's shoulder and said gently: "You have helped me a lot in the past two months, and I am very grateful in my heart." I didn't spend much money on this medal myself, and I've been keeping it here for years; Rather than continue to be unattended by customers as it is now, it is better to give it to someone who loves it for safekeeping. With that, he took out this small and delicate medal from the counter, and then put it directly in Fang Yan's hand.

Feeling the warm and cold feeling coming from his palm, Fang Yan couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, he really didn't expect the other party to be so refreshing, and directly stuffed this object with a price tag of 100 euros into his hand. Although he was slightly confused in his heart, he sincerely liked this thing in his hand; After a moment of silence, he gladly accepted the gift from the other party in a heartfelt thank-you.

In the evening, Fang Yan returned to his school building after finishing his work for the day. He rarely did not spread out the book at the first time, but played with the delicate things in his hand with great interest, and the swastika symbol in the center of the medal had been unwrapped by him, and it shimmered in the light of the light. The white veins of the medallion were meandering to form a dazzling and strange pattern, intricate and mysterious, even more so than what he had seen cursopharily in the shop before.

"Is this really just a bargain? Such a delicate carving on such a small object alone is worth more than 100 euros, right? Fang Yan looked at it carefully for a moment, only to feel dizzy, and couldn't help frowning. He rubbed the ornament in his hand repeatedly, and several thoughts turned in his heart in an instant. Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly felt a warm and smooth pocket bulge coming from the tips of his fingers, and this sensation was so wonderful, as full and abrupt as a blister on his skin.

Fang Yan, who didn't have time to think about it, followed the guidance of his instinct, and exerted a slight force on the tips of his fingers, but unexpectedly, the bulge was directly pressed down, becoming a slightly concave hole. Fang Yan was taken aback, thinking that he had inadvertently damaged this beloved collection that had just arrived today; However, before he could turn the medal over and examine it carefully, the intricate lines on it emitted a soft white light. Fang Yan, who witnessed this scene, felt a buzz in his mind, and faintly, he seemed to feel that he had been sucked into a twisted black hole that was spinning wildly, and then fell into a long coma......
