Chapter One Hundred and Nine - Pale and Multicolored
"Atlantis was founded in the era of the Great Revolution and has a history of 4,000 years. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAt that time, the entire Star Alliance was in a state of turmoil, and several great masters were in the same generation, bringing a glorious civilization while also being accompanied by war. In order to escape the war, the first White Devil led his pirate group to the Cummings Shatter Constellation, established the Pirate Harbor, and built the original Atlantis City on the Pirate Heart. ā
"When Atlantis first began to build, the sea level of the Pirate's Heart was not as high as it is now, and at that time Mount Everest was still above the sea level, the old man described that the first generation of White Devils used great power to cut off Mount Everest, and the huge rolling stones fell into the sea, stirring up a wave that poured into the sky, and the sky was darkened, and the sun and moon were eclipsed. That kind of majesty, and our descendants still yearn for it. ā
"The first generation of Atlantis was built on the severed plane of Mount Everest, and there were not many people at that time, so the city was very small, and it was nowhere near as spectacular as it is now. Later, as the reputation of the pirate harbor grew, more and more pirates came to us, and Atlantis expanded again and again, and finally completely filled the plane cut off by the first White Devil, to the point where it could no longer expand, and that was also the peak of the entire White Devil. ā
However, within a few hundred years, due to the increase of human beings and the greenhouse effect, glaciers began to melt sharply, and the sea level began to rise year by year, gradually approaching the warning line. Finally, a certain generation of White Devils realized the seriousness of the problem and knew that if they didn't respond, the entire White Devil Pirate Group would either move or be destroyed. Thus, the Great Migration began. ā
"The twenty-third generation of the White Devil has announced that all those who do not have any skills will be transferred to Gatomi and Barlandon, and the pirate group will provide technology and funds to support them in the development of those two terrestrial planets. While the population growth was controlled and the situation deteriorated further, the Lords had prepared for the entire Atlantis to sink to the bottom of the sea, and began to assemble the power of the entire Pirate Heart, building the Poseidon Barrier and the Eternal Lighthouse as you see it today. ā
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the inertia of the greenhouse effect to increase the sea level, and finally the whole of Atlantis was completely submerged. However, due to the wise decisions of the White Devils of that generation, although Atlantis was submerged, it did not perish. The pirate group gradually adapted to life under the sea, and built a lifting platform that could freely protrude out of the sea, and thus the city of wonders you see today - Atlantis! ā
William's adjutant proudly introduced the entire history of the construction of Atlantis to Jiang Xiu and others, and it is indeed worthy of their pride, everyone who lives in this city is useful, and they are contributing their own strength to the city, it can be said that this is the city that truly belongs to the White Devil himself, everyone is the builder of this city, and at the same time enjoys the blessing of the city.
This is also the reason why the White Devil Legion is so powerful. On the surface, it is because of the 3,000 third-order star masters of the White Devil Legion who can be put into battle at any time, or the genius ghosts from all over the Star Alliance, but in fact, the reason why the White Devil can really be powerful is this miracle city - Atlantis!
This city is a symbol of the White Devil, she tied each member of the White Devil Legion tightly together, asking them to work together and exert their strongest strength to maintain this city that is in danger at any time, but brings them glory, she makes the White Devil Pirate Group incomparably cohesive, it is this cohesion that allows the collective strength to be exerted 200%, which is the real reason why the White Devil Legion is invincible!
They imagined the earth-shattering power of the first generation of White Devils to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and imagined the great achievements of the twenty-third generation of White Devils in building the Seagod Barrier and the Eternal Burning Lighthouse.
There is only one exception, and that is Jiang Xiu. Jiang Xiu, who had always been serious and vigilant, seemed a little lacking in interest and distracted at the moment, and his mind was now full of Elicia's last crisp "Jiang Xiu".
You must know that under normal circumstances, Alicia would not speak, Jiang Xiu has seen her speak once until now, that is, when she met for the first time, Alicia said "go" when she followed him, and then she never heard her speak again. As if that "go" was just Jiang Xiu's illusion, later Garland, Tai Liangyi and others even thought that Alicia couldn't speak.
However, today, she shouted Jiang Xiu's name in front of everyone, which really startled everyone, and the sunny young Williams looked at Jiang Xiu with a look at the monster.
To be honest, Elicia's "Jiang Xiu" really scared him, not because of the singing-like voice, but because Williams had never seen her speak since he knew her, and even he had never seen Elicia have such rich emotions.
In his mind, Alicia is the kind of person who doesn't know anything, but doesn't care about anything, she is not so much a human as a walking statue, cold and emotionless, and anyone who comes within five meters of her will be obliterated by her when there is no familiar person around.
Therefore, although the little girl was as beautiful as a fairy, William never thought she was beautiful, because her coldness made her beauty a kind of frightening inducement, and no one would fall in love with a stone statue without emotion.
However, when Alicia called out the "Jiang Xiu" today, William had a heart-pounding feeling for a second. Yes, it's like a stone statue suddenly comes to life, an iron tree suddenly blooms, and everything in the world is not good. William had never seen such a vivid expression on her face.
That's nostalgia.
Yes, William didn't know if Alicia understood what nostalgia was, but at that moment she was nostalgic, just like a person who didn't know what it was like to love suddenly fell in love, beautiful and sad.
William suddenly felt a little envious of the mediocre-looking but extraordinary demeanor, this lucky guy actually made the iron tree bloom.
Although he had heard of a magical tattoo artist from the Star Alliance who had "eloped" with Alicia, he had always thought it was a joke, yes, a joke, who could elope with a monster, unless he was also a monster.
Out of curiosity, he took the initiative to take over the task of welcoming Alicia to the White Devil, in fact, mainly because he wanted to see what the legendary person who could kidnap their Royal Highness looked like, with three heads and six arms or oily noodles.
However, when William noticed Alicia's momentary staring at Jiang Xiu, he suddenly felt that he was a fool. Oh my God, it turns out that monsters really can fall in love with people.
Maybe Jiang Xiu is also a monster. William speculated maliciously.
Of course, although William, who was familiar with Alicia, felt a lot, as a party concerned, Jiang Xiu's feelings were the deepest.
Before this, although he felt that Alicia was important to him, so important that he could even give his life for her, but this kind of sacrifice was only because of that kind of secret connection.
As a person with normal logical thinking, Jiang Xiu actually knew that he could live even if he left Alicia, and protecting her was just an innate instinct deep in his soul, not because of some kind of feeling.
He thought Alicia felt the same way he did.
But he found that he was wrong, and he clearly felt the attachment in the eyes of the little girl, and the eyes with distinct emotional colors reflected from those pure eyes, like fluttering autumn water, with a little ripple.
It was an emotion, an emotion that Jiang Xiu had always ignored but always existed. This emotion may stem from that kind of secret connection, innate instinct, but it has been sublimated in such a long time together.
For a girl who doesn't understand anything, when there is a person who intrudes into her life with an irresistible attitude, with innate familiarity, gives her warmth, care, and protection, then she will regard that person as the whole of her world, worship him, rely on him, and be willing to be his little tail who can't speak.
To be honest, Jiang Xiu was actually relieved when he heard Boss Lei say that he couldn't take Elicia away, although Alicia was powerful and obedient, but she was not a fighting partner for Jiang Xiu, but a responsibility and a burden, if she was lost, Jiang Xiu might be able to live better. Moreover, as the next heir of the White Devil Legion, he believes that Alicia will be treated and protected by the best, but he can only live a life of exile.
Jiang Xiu felt that separating might be the best choice for the two of them.
That's right, everything Jiang Xiu thought was right, objectively speaking, the two of them would be fine after separation, Jiang Xiu was easier and Alicia was safer, it was perfect. But there was one thing he overlooked, and that was Alicia's emotion, the emotion that was written on a pure white paper, word by word, but which was the easiest to ignore.
In Elicia's eyes, separation is a disaster, and following Jiang Xiu is happy even if he is embarrassed. But she is a little tail who can't speak, she will do whatever Jiang Xiu says, Jiang Xiu doesn't want her, she won't argue, she will only silently shout "Jiang Xiu" at the end.
Jiang Xiu suddenly felt a little tingling in his heart, he felt that he should do something, but he couldn't do anything.
He's been doing jerk things all his life, but he can't be jerks anymore, there are some things he knows it's a mistake not to do, but it's a bigger mistake to do it, it's a paradox, but it's real.
He has already failed a girl, he can't live up to another one, he knows that he can only love one person, and no matter how good he is to others, it hurts.
Since it's harmful, it's better not to do it.
He's used to doing bastard things anyway.
Jiang Xiu gritted his teeth and exhaled lightly.
The light from the ever-burning lighthouse was a bit harsh and a little cold. (To be continued.) )
