That city came out of the mire of the sea.

A bustling port sprang up on the eastern frontier far from the capital, slowly expanding its territory in the ebb and flow of sea and sediment, and a legendary city was born at the mouth of its river. Later, when the center of government moved to that city, the entire port grew unusually rapidly.

The fjords were filled in, the estuaries were filled in, and when all the depressions were filled in, the land began to expand towards the sea. Before the water at the mouth of the sea washed up to the shore, it was heading straight for the sea.

Before the land could be formed, the city overshadowed it and continued to grow. The shallows were drained, the wetlands were filled in, and soon a huge metropolis appeared on the bog. It is the center of national politics, but it is not the capital, and its identity is as ambiguous as the mudflats that do not know whether it is sea or land.

The city was given the title of 'Imperial Capital', and from then on it was determined that its political and economic power could no longer be relegated to the quagmire, because it carried the prestige of the country.

- Imperial Capital. Tokyo.

This land has been developed since the Port of Edo, and it has continued to grow with the power of the times. In July of the first year of the Meiji era (1868), it was renamed 'Tokyo' from its old title 'Edo'.

In that year, the emperor's first tour of Tokyo in history was announced, and the emperor went on another tour the following year, and in this way, the capital was built here step by step. 'Tokyo' was officially born.

That was the end result of the struggle between the two sides of embezzlement and accumulation.

If the essence of the capital symbolizes the essence of a nation, then the sudden emergence of the city out of the soft mud by the expulsion of the encroachers must represent some kind of meaning. Just as the inhabitants of Tokyo have long forgotten that the ground on which they stood was once the sea, certain things have long since been buried in oblivion.

Until today, 40 years later.

With the arrival of a black-haired youth, people finally uncover the dusty memories.

**************

Japan is gone.

As the word suggests. Disappeared without a trace.

When the news spread around the world, people still didn't know what caused it.

A lot of people are wondering if it's a dragon?

Isn't it unimportant, but what matters is, will this happen again? Erase a country from the map as if it never existed.

Even though it's a small island nation, that's 1.50 billion people, or 1 in 60 percent of the world's population.

Didn't a psychologist come up with a theory of the 'sixth-degree separation hypothesis'?

A friend's friend's friend's friend's friend's friend - be one of the six people in a chain of friends like this. It is equivalent to being friends with all mankind indirectly.

Although this is somewhat unrealistic, we have to admit that the 1.5 billion people who have disappeared have at least one tenth of the world's people.

What is a tenth? It's close to 700 million.

Let's say that one in ten of them is friends and family.

So, if these nearly 70 million human beings revolt, how should they be resolved?

"-- The current state of affairs does not allow for optimism."

Haruka Shinomiya, who stepped onto the podium, opened his mouth with out-and-out bad news.

But this situation has long been expected, after all, there is a TV in the dormitory, and you can watch the news or something if you have nothing to do. Regardless of the ugly faces of those experts who put the blame on the unwarranted 'dragon' because they couldn't find a reason. On the contrary, this statement has been unanimously agreed.

Since the arrival of Ferrido twenty-five years ago, dragon disasters have been commonplace.

It's just that the scale of this 'dragon disaster' is a little larger.

"Mr. Shinomiya, what are the results of our investigation?"

Deep Moon was the first to speak, her face slightly haggard, a bit like lack of sleep.

"So far, there is no evidence that the 'dragon' did it."

Haruka Shinomiya sighed.

The situation is extremely bad right now. Countries instructed the media to create a public opinion offensive and blame the 'dragon', so that people with a great sense of crisis put pressure on [Asgar] one after another.

Who made you specifically responsible for this kind of event? Who are you looking for if you don't look for you?

Once Asgar suffers, the first to bear the brunt of it are Midgarh and Nifol.

[Nifuel] It's okay to say. At best, he was scolded for a few words of 'waste', and [Midgar]'s position is a bit more subtle, and there is an inextricable relationship between 'D' and 'Dragon'.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the 'son of the dragon'.

At first, only a few people were angry with 'D', but then out of nowhere, a theory spread that the so-called D was actually a mate for the dragon to choose. Once a dragon has its eye on D. A new dragon will appear.

As soon as this statement came out, the whole world was shaken.

I don't know who spearheaded a wave of 'anti-D' and demanded that the government put pressure on [Asgar] to put these scourges to death immediately.

In short, the trend is growing. It's already a lot of trouble.

Everywhere you go, you'll see a procession on the streets.

Governments regret it, but they don't slap themselves in the mouth, anyway, it's not themselves, and it's not their own bad luck, not to mention the death of the dragon, the disappearance of the disappearance, although they are reluctant to give up these living strategic resources, but in order to calm the anger of the people, in order to keep their rights, sacrificing dozens of children is nothing at all.

"Teacher, are we really going to be executed in public?"

Ellera asked with a wry face.

Public executions are also the will of the people, who fear that these bureaucrats will promise on the surface, but in fact hide the scourge for their own benefit.

"Don't worry, [Midgar] won't agree."

Haruka Shinomiya reassured.

"But didn't [Asgar] not take a stand?"

Arira glanced at the timid love on her face and continued to ask.

At the thought of being publicly executed, not only Miyazawa was in love, but dozens of students in the school were afraid that they would not be able to sleep well every day.

By the way, the lack of sleep in the deep moon is due to the relationship of the family.

She and Yuu Monobe's family live in Japan......

"It's good to ignore this kind of thing, refusing will anger the people, and agreeing will hurt 'D', [Asgar] is actually under no less pressure than you."

Haruka Shinomiya patiently explained.

"So teacher, about Tia-san's whereabouts. Can you find a clue? ”

The person who changed the subject was Lisa.

Her face was not much better than that of Deep Moon, and her lips were still a little pale.

However, her eyes sparkled, and she could see that there was an obsession supporting her.

"If you want to talk about clues, only Tia has been identified at the moment. Legnint is in the hands of the Sons of Muspel. As for the location, the [Nifuor] side is still being traced. News should come soon. ”

The news that will come soon is the same thing as not coming at all.

Lisa sat down without saying anything.

She now has only one goal, to rescue Tia and bring Qili to justice.

If it weren't for Qi Li's rhetoric, Ling Yi would not have made a desperate gamble to destroy the last two 'dragons' at the cost of his life.

It's all Qili's fault.

Squeak - Lisa clenched her fists, her eyes cold as if they were human.

I have to admit that she has indeed changed.

Become more stubborn and extreme.

But she didn't regret it, Ling Yi taught her a lot and gave her a lot. And she didn't get anything in return......

Regret? No, it's unwilling!

*******************

It was raining heavily. Bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, and splashes of droplets drifted through the air like mist, enveloping the city in ruins. The raindrops were so dense that it was almost impossible to see the road ahead.

Qi Li held an umbrella and led the expressionless little girl to walk through the hazy streets of the night.

She looked up at the overcast sky and thought to herself: I wonder how many days this rain will last, just like the Bible describes - the rain is going to swallow the earth. Now, is there still time to build an ark? Of course, it was not like Noah who was commissioned by God to build the ark. But. If he was chosen by God, would he have the motivation to build the ark desperately?

It's useless. In the presence of that person.

Whether it's imaginary or unexpected, a qiē is a meaningless act.

Just like the island countries of the Far East that disappeared a few days ago.

Nothing was seen, nothing was heard.

It's not abrupt, but before people react, it's over in one breath.

Walk through the streets. Qi Li walks into a bachelor apartment.

To be honest, she also wondered why she chose to meet in such a place.

"Don't you feel like a spy movie?"

The room was very dark and dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.

However, Qi Li 'saw' it.

――A dark shadow with a silhouette similar to that of a human.

"I've already brought the person you wanted."

"It's not enough. It's rare to see each other. Are you going to have a casual chat? ”

"Honestly, it's hard for me to look like you now."

"That's because you didn't turn on the lights."

Hearing the dark shadow say this, Qi Li turned on the headlights in the living room in disbelief.

Instantly, the whole room was lit up.

When I looked at the dark shadow again, it was no longer the same as before.

The facial features are delicate but not feminine, and when paired with the silky black hair, it is a perfect work of art. looks like he is about twenty years old, and his indescribable elegance is as warm and soft as the sun, in the words of Korean sticks, he is a warm man + a beautiful man.

But in Qi Li's eyes, only that familiar face is the most important.

"I still can't read you."

He let out a long breath of turbidity, and his tone did not fluctuate in a single bit.

"The world is full of lies, and you can't keep your eyes open."

"And what should I call you now? Siegfried is your pseudonym, but even that identity can be perfectly interpreted, which means that your real identity is more exaggerated than that, right? ”

"My real name is Ling Yi, Ling is the Ling of Top Gun, and Yi is the Yi of Yi Shuihan. Siegfried was my former rival and an admirable fellow, albeit a bit of a dead eye. ”

"You've been using me from beginning to end, right? It's a pity that the people of Midgar don't understand who you are, and they think that I have deceived you. ”

Qi Li snorted softly, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her words.

"It doesn't matter if you use it or not, you and I have achieved our goal, and that's enough. If you take human affection too seriously, you don't deserve sympathy if you lose. ”

Ling Yi smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"What a cold heart, what are you going to do with me? I don't know how you managed to get rid of Japan, but I know what you did, and if this secret were leaked, it would have a big impact on you, right? ”

"It's okay to say it, I've achieved the ultimate goal of this trip, the only thing I didn't expect was that Frido would resist so fiercely, otherwise there would be no need for Japan to disappear."

One of the seven 'dragons' was left with Kurono Furita who was hiding in Japan.

It's hiding, but it's not as simple as hiding in the sea or underground.

It is essentially composed of superior elements, which can almost be said to be immortal and immortal.

There is only one way to destroy it, and that is to drain its life force.

So, after Ling Yi descended, he directly used the Holy Grail to suck up Frido, who felt the crisis and struggled desperately, causing countless disasters in Japan, such as flash floods, tsunamis, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, air pollution......

But it was never able to withstand the strength of the Holy Grail, and the result was a complete defeat.

Catalyzed by almost infinite magical power, the 'door' to the root cause of the scourge was opened......

Let's not talk about the process, in short, when Ling Yi comes out, Japan has disappeared.

Not even half of the corpse could be found, as if the entire island nation had evaporated.

"Can you sue me, who are you?"

Qi Li asked after a moment of silence.

"Now I am the first magician, a being who turns the impossible into the absolute."

Ling Yi replied without hesitation, before he achieved the First Fa, he had guessed that his personality would change drastically because of this, but the result was not, he was still the same person.

However, there seems to be something more in the depths of the soul.

It can't be described in words, it can only be felt and experienced with the heart.

If I had to say a change, it was that he was full of curiosity about the 'world'.

"Magician? What is that? ”

"It's nothing, it's a magician. To describe it in a way you can understand, it is the embodiment of miracles. Even if one day in the future, when technology develops to the point of omnipotence, the First Dharma will still exist forever, because it only exists on the other side of the realm. ”

Although he said some very handsome words, but after ten minutes, Ling Yi still hugged the black-haired beautiful girl and rolled the sheets, and now he finally understood why the old man of Zelrich had taken in a lot of disciples but was not good at teaching.

Because anything can be done lightly, it's boring, because it's too boring, so if you don't find something to do, you'll definitely suffocate.

A week later, the anti-D storm subsided.

Contributing enormously to this are dozens of European consortia, as well as the diplomatic departments of national governments.

Later, someone said that he saw a person suspected of being the chairman of the board of directors at the door of a certain consortium and greeted a black-haired young man in person......

(I took it upon myself to name the first method [The Other Side of the Realm], and if the mushrooms hit the door in the future, I would have to slap myself.) As for the effect, specifically refer to a thousand-year-old man who claims to be eighteen-year-old, not a beautiful girl) (to be continued......)
