Chapter 8: The Great Wall of Sylvia
The majestic figure on the desk didn't look up, just hummed softly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The half-kneeling shadow on the ground saw the message, respectfully clenched his fists to his chest, and disappeared silently as he had come, leaving only a snow-white letter paper on the desk.
After finishing the work in hand, the gaze of the great figure fell on the snow-white letter, the knife-like thick eyebrows were slightly raised, and he took it apart casually, and glanced at it briefly, and saw that it had indeed reached the passing line below the five scales, and was just about to put it down, when suddenly his eyes froze and fell on the detection value in the bottom corner.
"Zero-eight?" The figure stared at the number, looked at it for a while, put away the letter, got up and changed the coat on the coat rack at the door, and pushed the door open.
In the hall, the slightly chubby middle-aged housekeeper looked at the master and said in surprise: "Master, it's so late, you want to go out?" ”
"Hmm." The majestic figure commanded: "Prepare the car." ”

"Three hundred years ago, when natural disasters befell the world, our ancestors fought bravely, relying on infinite wisdom and strength, survived the adversity, and built this Sylvia wall to isolate the disaster from the wall and shelter all future generations! The Great Wall of Sylvia is sacred and great, and it must not be desecrated, you know? A white-bearded old man on the podium said with a solemn expression.
Don't look at his snow-white beard, in fact, he has just reached sixty years old, but here, this is already considered a long life.
Dudian listened attentively, and three days after he signed up, the school officially started, and it was his first class of the day. The old man did not immediately explain the knowledge of the law, but briefly introduced some well-known things, as if the purpose was only to come and get acquainted with the children and consolidate the faith in their hearts. The story about the Great Wall of Sylvia, as long as they are not orphans, almost every child has heard their parents tell it countless times since they were young.
The other children were bored when they heard this, but because they saw the white-bearded old man for the first time, they were a little afraid of life and did not dare to make a mistake.
Du Dian listened to it with relish, these were the things he wanted to know most at the moment, seeing that the old man seemed to be boring himself, and did not mean to explain in depth, he couldn't help but raise his hand and asked, "Teacher, what are you talking about natural disasters?" ”
The white-bearded old man and the other children were stunned, they didn't expect Du Dian to be so bold and dare to take the initiative to ask questions, and second, they didn't expect that there were still people who didn't understand such a well-known thing.
Seeing Du Di'an's serious and hopeful face, the old man couldn't bear to dampen the child's enthusiasm in his heart, but he just slandered in his heart, didn't the child's parents tell him? But he replied with a smile: "There are many natural disasters, volcanic eruptions, floods, earthquakes and splits, and so on. ”
Du Dian was stunned for a moment, and said without giving up: "Is that all?" ”
The old man was a little speechless, and said: "These disasters are already terrible, haven't you heard your parents say, volcanic eruptions alone can kill countless people, do you see the dark clouds in the sky, this is caused by volcanic eruptions." ”
Du Dian frowned slightly, didn't say anything more, but thought in his heart, because he knew that the disaster three hundred years ago was not a simple natural disaster at all, although all kinds of disasters said by the old man had happened, but they were caused by the explosion of a nuclear bomb, the reason why he asked knowingly was to see what information those who survived had left behind, and it was obvious that in the hands of these descendants, they did not know the real cause and inside story of the disaster.
Perhaps, it was the inside story that was so terrible that it was blocked by the rulers above.
"Teacher, my mother said that it is dangerous to be outside the giant wall, and if you go out, you will die, is this true?" When a little fat man saw Du Dian asking, he also raised his hand boldly and asked.
The old man's expression was solemn, and he said seriously: "Yes, there are devils and plagues living outside the giant wall, once we go out, we will never come back, we can sit here and study, we can eat rice and vegetables, all of which are the credit of the giant wall, so you must respect the giant wall, and also respect the wall builders, this is a profession as great as the doctor and our discipline-keepers!" ”
If you graduate, you can pass the examination of the Inquisition, you can become a priest, it is a very sacred existence, as noble as a nobleman, not only can freely enter and exit the commercial and residential areas, but also enter the inner area!
"The Devil and the Plague ......" all the children turned pale with fright, and even the youngest, knew how terrible they were.
Du Di was a little curious at the bottom, he naturally didn't believe in the devil or anything, the nuclear bomb baptized the world, and nine out of ten creatures were extinct, this was just a made-up word to intimidate the children. Of course, the target of intimidation may not only be children, but also adults.
This made him even more curious, what is the world outside the giant wall, is it still full of scars of nuclear bomb explosions? Or has it become a primeval forest because no one has cultivated it?
"It's time, let's get out of class." The white-bearded old man looked at the hourglass and said.
The other children immediately cheered.
At this moment, two young men in black leather armor suddenly appeared at the door, and walked into the classroom as if no one was around. The white-bearded old man was just about to speak, when he suddenly noticed the black eagle head medal they were wearing on his shoulders, and his face suddenly smiled, and he stepped forward, "The two adults came here, did you take those children away?" ”
Du Dian's ears pricked up when he heard this, a little wary and confused.
One of the thin young men nodded slightly, his expression was indifferent, and he said meticulously: "Now I name the people I mentioned, stand up, do you understand?" His grim gaze swept across the room, not softening at all because the subject was a child.
All the children were immediately calmed and nervous. The white-bearded old man hurriedly reassured: "Don't be nervous, these two adults are guards, and those whose names are mentioned by them will hopefully join the public office, which is a great joy." ”
Public? Dudian heard Jura talk about that, in short, it was equivalent to a civil servant in the old era, and he didn't have to worry about his livelihood for the rest of his life, and it was a dream career for many civilians in this world.
However, Dudian noticed the medals on the shoulders of these two people, he did not see such medals on the guards when he entered the residential area from the slums, and there was a difference in the standard leather armor, and besides, there was no reason for a guard to make a clergyman so in awe, which made him feel a trace of doubt in his heart, and immediately watched quietly and quietly.
"Locke!" The young man in black armor drank low.
A thin child on the table in front of Du Dian trembled in fright, and said weakly: "In ......"
"Stand up!" The young man in black armor shouted.
The emaciated child jumped up in fright.
"Marta!"
"Yes!" A girl quickly stood up.
"Ramiel!"
"Carly!"
One by one, the children stood up by name, and the young man whispered, "Dudian! ”
Du Dian's eyes narrowed, and he slowly stood up.
The children who were clicked, plus him, made a total of eight.
