A great man once said that war is the catalyst for human civilization.

If it is only for the field of science and technology, this sentence is not wrong, because there is competition only when there is competition, and the desire for competition can greatly promote human beings to develop their own scientific and technological strength.

In this sense, in addition to war, disaster and the unknown are also the two major driving forces for the development of science and technology to some extent, because the desire to survive and curiosity are also human feelings that are not inferior to the desire for competition.

Although it is only 12 years of the Divine Advent calendar, which is equivalent to 2012 AD, it is due to the advent of the gods and the large number of wars and disasters that have broken out since then.

Not to mention the emerging magic technology, the original mechanical technology of human beings has also developed explosively in the past 12 years, and many things that were originally only conceptual have been realized.

One of them is ultra-long-range air-rail technology.

Because the stratosphere is occupied by a large number of mythical places such as paradise, large airliners and transport planes and the like have long since ceased to exist.

However, human beings still have the need for long-distance rapid movement across cities, provinces and even countries and continents, so it is replaced by ultra-long-distance air rail technology.

The so-called empty rail refers to the suspended aerial rail train, which is similar to the high-speed rail, but the track is erected in the air.

Because of the strong demand, the world's air rail technology is extremely advanced, and the maximum speed of the monorail has reached nearly 2,000 kilometers per hour, which is somewhat exaggerated, almost comparable to some fighter jets before the Divine Arrival.

Therefore, even if the earth in this world is now ten times larger than before the Divine Advent Era, the construction of a large number of ultra-long-distance high-speed air rails has once again enabled the human beings in this world to have the ability to quickly cross borders or even continents.

And because of the integration of some magic technology, there is almost no support structure that needs to be connected to the ground in the air rail of this world, and it is a completely suspended state that is directly fixed in the air, and the optical camouflage technology and perception shielding technology placed around the orbit and the magic technology that uses mental suggestion to expel various creatures also make the orbit outside the human city in a completely hidden state.

Of course, this is only for creatures below the gods.

But it's been 12 years since the gods came, and there was enough trouble before, but now most of them are very quiet, and they usually stay in one place to enjoy happiness or engage in research or something, and they don't easily run around.

In short, in today's world, taking the air rail is no less safe than taking an airplane before the Divine Arrival.

And the cost is not high, and the average family can afford it.

……

The Grass Pheasant Guardian is an ordinary person, the kind that is completely insulated from magic and gods, and at most he has simply understood, heard, and seen.

In today's post-Divine World, ordinary people like Grass Pheasant Godo belong to a minority.

But Ichiro Kusaka, the grandfather of the Grass Pheasant Godo, is not an ordinary person, although he claims to be an ethnologist and has the title of professor, but he is actually a magician.

There are fewer cases like this where the ancestors are not ordinary people and the descendants are ordinary people.

As for the reason...... Don't say anything, the ancestors feel that it is painful to have power, and they want the younger generations to be ordinary people quietly, which are all made up in some third-rate novels of a certain island country to deceive children.

How many rich people have you seen who feel that being rich is miserable and let their descendants ask for food? How many emperors have you seen who felt that it was painful to be an emperor and let their descendants become commoners?

Those who truly have power understand that there will only be pain without power.

And in today's theocratic world, power is everything, and no power is the greatest original sin.

Therefore, Ichiro Kusaka, the grandfather of the Grass Pheasant Godo, is not a brain cramp to keep his grandson away from the world of gods and supernatural powers, but has greater ambitions......

……

"By the way, it's really a strange slate......

Not long after stepping out of the air rail station in the capital of Lysardinia Island, while standing on a seaside street and looking at the stone slab in his hand, the young man named Grass Pheasant Godo was also a little at a loss in his heart.

Approaching the end of the summer vacation, Hutang was suddenly entrusted by his grandfather to return an item that a friend had deposited.

Originally, this was nothing, but when he knew that his grandfather's friend was located somewhere on the other side of the world, he felt a little headache.

Although he may be in a hurry, the boy named Grass Pheasant Godo is a real boy of only 16 years old, and the farthest he has traveled so far may be his grandfather's residence in the countryside after retirement, or other cities that his parents have taken on vacation.

All in all, in the past fifteen years of life, the Guardian Hall has not even been out of the Neon Country.

And now, a sixteen-year-old boy born in the Far East has suddenly arrived in the Western world, which is located on the other side of the world.

The most important thing is that the guardian is not here to travel, but to find people.

However, in a foreign country, with a language barrier, and only the name of 'Lukurazia Zola' and a somewhat vague location such as 'somewhere inland in Italy', Goto suddenly realized that his search was a long way to go, after questioning passers-by in half-witted English.

"By the way, grandpa's friends don't seem to be ordinary people......"

Although he claims to be an ethnologist, he traveled to many places in the world when he was young, but what makes Hutang feel a little confused or speechless, most of the friends that grandpa made were not ordinary people, eh...... Well, most of the women who are prepared to say are not ordinary women.

Because of his handsome appearance and near-perfect diplomatic skills, Godo's grandfather had an affair far beyond ordinary people when he was young......

This is part of the reason why Godo would accept Grandpa's commission to return this strange stone tablet in a distant foreign land - Godo always felt that if he let the merry grandfather come in person, something would happen to his deceased grandmother......

"In short, this Lady Lucurazia should not be an ordinary person......" Stroking the delicate lines on the stone slab in his hand, there was a trace of envy in the heart of the guard.

In fact, when I was young, because of the influence of my grandfather's friends, Godo dreamed of becoming a magician or something, after all, every child probably has a similar dream in his heart - to become a superman with incredible powers or something.

However, unfortunately, Hutang was soon told that he did not have the qualifications in this area, which meant that he could only be an ordinary person.

When Godo was a child, he was very sad about this for a while, but as he grew older, this childhood dream has become weaker and weaker.

Now, Godo thinks that the lives of ordinary people are actually not bad, at least there will not be so many dangers - because most of the cities are near the sea and mountains, and the myths and legends about gods and demons are also very rich, even in today's neon country, there are attacks about various supernatural gods and monsters almost every day.

As a result, the mortality rate of people with supernatural powers in the Neon Nation is among the highest in the world.

Of course, the resulting mortality rate of ordinary people is also very high, but for ordinary people living in large fortress cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama, etc., the safety of life can still be effectively guaranteed, basically away from the threat of various supernatural disasters.

Therefore, for Hutang, the current stable life is still more satisfactory to him.

However, today, it seems that the predetermined fate is about to break the peaceful life of the boy named Grass Pheasant Godo......

"That guy over there! Give me the magic book in your hand! ”

The words composed of completely incomprehensible notes came into his ears, interrupting the original cranky thoughts in Godo's heart.

Subconsciously raised his head, and the dazzling hair like the golden morning sun and the delicate face as beautiful as a rose came into his eyes.

Because of this sudden surprise, the young man named Grass Pheasant Guardian Hall was slightly stunned for a moment, and then remembered to answer.

However, although the voice of the unknown beautiful girl on the other side was so sweet that it reminded people of roses blooming proudly in the bright sun, if you can't understand it, you can't understand it.

Therefore, after a short period of stunned thought, Godo could only reply in English: "I, my name is Grass Pheasant Gotang." ”

As if perceiving that the guard couldn't speak dumb language, the beautiful blonde girl opposite couldn't help but ask in fluent Chinese: "Huaxia?" ”

Godo, who still didn't understand the same thing, continued to introduce himself in skimming English: "My name is Grass Pheasant Godo, and I'm from the Neon Country. ”

The beautiful girl who finally heard the key words said in the same fluent Japanese, "It turned out to be a neon man." In that case, I'll talk to you in Japanese. Now, give me the magic book in your hand right away! ”

"Huh? Alas——?! While he was amazed that the beautiful girl on the other side, who was obviously of the white race, could speak Japanese so fluently, Godo was also surprised that he had encountered robbers shortly after he arrived.

This is the first encounter between a neon boy named Grass Pheasant and an Italian girl named Erica Blantry in the beautiful island of Sardinia......
