Volume 1 The Gamma Empire Chapter 3 Origins
Of course, the three Karl have heard all of them in the fairy tale of "One Sword to Seal the Emperor", but they have always only listened to it as a story.
But now the dean suddenly proposed a new term "Battle Spirit Warrior", and specially mentioned "one sword to seal the emperor", and the three of them were not stupid, and they immediately thought of the key to this.
"Could it be that Julius Caesar was a warrior?" The three of them asked questions in unison.
The dean smiled and nodded, tapped his fingers lightly on the wooden table in front of him, and said slowly, "This first starts with the catastrophe in the story...... The so-called catastrophe refers to an alien race, the Zeg Zerg! This doesn't mean the little reptiles you encounter on a daily basis or the ...... on the leaves."
At this point, the dean slowly rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, causing all three of them to gasp.
They couldn't have imagined that under the loose robe of the kind and stern old dean, there was an extremely terrifying appearance on his arm, and the swirling scars spread on it!
The most serious one, as if it had been penetrated from one side of the arm to the other by some sharp object......
The dean laughed, and then pulled his sleeves back up, his purpose was not to intimidate the three young men, but to show them that the Zeg Zerg was not a good little animal.
Without the dean saying more, Carl and the others also understood that this scar was definitely caused by the so-called "Zeg Zerg"!
"At that time, the planet Luolan was fully invaded by the sudden Zeg Zerg, and the human beings who were originally all over the planet were slaughtered by nearly 90%."
"Fortunately, God was fair and gave mankind the only way to survive at that time...... Perhaps due to the influence of the Zeg Zerg, the human genes at that time changed, and some people could summon a second soul, the War Spirit. ”
The three of Karl all opened their mouths slightly, already deeply attracted by the story of the old dean.
Looking at the appearance of the three children, the old dean smiled lightly, and then continued to speak.
"Obviously, the original Julius Caesar was the first person to awaken the war spirit, and the current Gamma Empire was established by the first batch of awakened war spirit warriors and led the remnants of the human race......"
Speaking of this, the old dean's eyes flickered slightly, obviously nostalgic for the scene of the great war back then.
Arthur and Sophia were still silently digesting these stories, but Karl was already excitedly asking: "Dean, in this way, did you also fight with Julius Caesar and Zeg Zerg 30 years ago?" Then you must be ...... too."
The old dean smiled and shook his head.
"Old man, I don't have that blessing, but even if it's an ordinary person, for the final survival of mankind at that time, I will participate in it like me......"
Karl hung his head slightly disappointed, and Arthur suddenly spoke:
"I already have a rough understanding of the importance of the War Spirit Warrior to the Gamma Empire, so what is the reason for the qualification test that the three of us will participate in tomorrow...... And most crucially, what if the three of us don't have the qualifications of War Spirit Warriors? ”
The old dean nodded appreciatively, the brave and responsible Carl, the keen and careful Arthur, and the smart and resolute Sophia, these three child kings are the three children he has been watching grow up, and they are also his favorite three children.
"According to the laws of the Gamma Empire, all young people who have reached the age of 18 are required to participate in the War Spirit Qualification Test of the local administrative region, and those who meet the qualifications will automatically become citizens of the Gamma Empire from now on."
"Citizenship? Is it a citizenship that can directly live in the imperial capital, or hold an official position in the local area? Sophia snorted in surprise.
Although they usually live in an orphanage, they have met the so-called "citizens" because they occasionally have to interact with the residents of Rum Town.
That kind of high and extraordinary power was something that Karl could not have hoped for before. Now, as long as you have the qualification of "War Spirit Warrior", you can easily become a citizen, and the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the three children are immediately ignited!
The old dean smiled and nodded, which was kind of answering Sophia's question.
"Okay, about the 'citizen', when you have the qualification of 'War Spirit Warrior', you will naturally have more opportunities to learn about it."
After a pause, the old dean continued to explain: "If you don't have the qualification of 'War Spirit Warrior' after the test, you must join the army of the Gamma Empire, and after 3 years of military service, you can return to the town and become an ordinary civilian of the Gamma Empire again. ”
"That'...... What about refusing to perform military service if you are not qualified? It was still Arthur, keenly grasping the key points, and at the same time looking at the old dean's terrifying arm.
The excited Carl and the silent Sophia also followed Arthur to look over.
Yes, if you can't be a warrior, you will be an ordinary soldier like the old dean, although it has only been 3 years, but it doesn't seem so safe......
The old dean was silent for a while, and then said in a very serious tone: "The laws of the empire stipulate that anyone who refuses to serve in the military will be hunted down by the warriors of the imperial war spirit for no time until the death of the target. ”
The three of Carl gasped in unison, even if the War Spirit Warrior chased and killed ordinary people, there was no time limit. To put it bluntly, as long as you don't serve in the military, there is only one end: death.
Looking at the time, the old dean slowly stood up from his position, came to the three of them, and said in a kind tone: "It's not early, you guys should rest early." Tomorrow Silas will take you to the test site in Rumtown. ”
The three of them all nodded and began to walk out the door.
"Carl!" The old dean suddenly shouted when the three of them were about to go out.
Carl looked back suspiciously, and the old dean nodded at him, and said, "No matter what happens, don't care too much, believe in yourself!" ”
Karl raised his eyebrows, not knowing what the old dean meant by this, but he nodded anyway and walked out with the other two.
"Carl, if you had a War Spirit, what would you like your War Spirit to be?" On the way back to her room, Sophia asked with some excitement.
Karl glanced at the silent Arthur and mumbled in his mouth, but he didn't know what kind of war spirit he wanted to have for a long time......
At this moment, a few fireflies suddenly flew outside the window, and a little starlight brought a touch of summer to the entire courtyard.
