Prologue
Cold winters at North County Abbey
"Ahh Ahh
"Hard! Harder, my head is coming out. In the dimly lit stone room, several nuns were busy around a pregnant woman.
The first thing you feel is the blinding light. I feel that my body is wrapped in a peaceful sense of floating, enjoying the silence for a moment, and I want to live in this warm feeling, and I am a little forgetful. Forget me? yes! It seems that I have forgotten something, what is it? What am I forgetting?
It's just that before I had time to think about all this, I felt something suddenly shake, and after a few seconds of hesitation, my brain understood the cold, the piercing cold, like the cold that a baby who had just been born into the world and croaked on the ground felt for the first time, but someone as a person in question didn't have time to feel it.
The sudden, and very strong feeling of suffocation, made the body struggle in pain, and the cells in the lungs, the whole body, and even the whole body were screaming, giving me oxygen! The unbearable pain made me unable to keep my mind calm, and I could only blindly struggle in pain.
"Quack... Quack...!"
Finally shouted, but it was just a baby's cry. After that, although he was unconscious, he could feel a woman beside him gently hugging him, her warm face was close to her head, her breathing was so weak and weak, but the desire to protect her heart was so strong.
It was tears, the woman who was gently holding me was in tears, but I couldn't even turn my head to look at her.
When I woke up again, I saw through the dim light a group of dead nuns dressed in ancient costumes, and the corpse on the bed, which had long been cold, and the only thing that impressed me was the long and terrible ears.
"Xiao Nan, come, ah..."
Xiao Nan, are you calling me?
"Xiao Nan, okay, grow your mouth obediently!"
Because he couldn't figure out the current situation, he moved his eyes to the soup spoon that had just been handed to him, and the nun who looked a little impatient, only to see her smile with a kind but undeniable smile. It's just that I don't have the heart to appreciate it now, and my eyes turn to the place behind her.
So, the nun shoved the spoon into my mouth, "Don't be picky, be good, ah--"
It's a spoonful of stewed runny vegetables. "Hmm!" It's a little light, and there's no oil and water, so I can eat it! Forget it, although I can't figure out what happened, but the current situation looks like I'm the little Nan in the nun's mouth, and I don't have the strength to disobey the person in front of me right now.
One, two, three, in this world, it took me three years to get back my consciousness, and this body, some things in this world.
In 1824, an empire suddenly appeared on the mainland, and this new empire rose rapidly, and then expanded its power to swallow up all the neighboring countries, villages and towns, and what made all this possible was the empire's unique magic cannon.
It is precisely because of this weapon that the empire has formed its current territory in less than two years. The national territory as a whole is circular and divided into five regions, with the imperial capital as the center, and the four regions of east, south, west and north have theater commands, which are stationed in the legion all year round and are responsible for local military, public security, and territorial defense.
The imperial capital of Leor, in addition to the Imperial Palace, has the Imperial Military Staff, and most of the Imperial military operations come from here.
The third and fifth experimental fields, nominally this is a place to rescue war orphans, but in essence, this is a place where human experiments are carried out, and the protagonists are from the third experimental field (except for the two experimental fields located in the imperial capital, the entire empire, except for the northern theater of operations, has a large number of experimental fields. )
The Imperial National Library, which houses a large collection of historical documents and special documents that can only be consulted by the Imperial Royal Guard, where the national teacher Mantosa secretly destroyed a number of documents.
Mantosa has lived here since the cessation of human experimentation, and the only person who knows he is alive is the Emperor's maid, Guan Octavi.
To the east is Sver, known as the Iron City, where iron ore is abundant throughout the region, and to the east is a large coal mine in the Great Desert. Legend has it that after crossing the great desert, after passing a few mountain streams, there is a fairyland holy place, where the best tea drinks by the nobles of the empire comes from.
To the west is Aobo, where the protagonist's birthplace Hemalton also belongs.
Hemalton, once a place for foot merchants to rest halfway, I don't know when it became a paradise for adventurers, from here to the west, Northmar, is a town built by elves, ten years ago it suddenly became an empty city, the elves in the city for some reason, disappeared overnight without a trace.
Five years ago, the Empire relinquished control of this area, and in principle, there were no more troops stationed here, except for the main city of Obo. Theoretically, this became a blank neutral area, and for a time it became a place where bandits were rampant.
In the same year, the Coalition established an academy to gather and manage adventurers from all over the world, as well as to teach orphaned children the survival skills of the area, and in exchange for allowing the establishment of the school, Hermalton would send cadets in the form of mercenaries to participate in some paramilitary operations in the Empire.
And some students who have established meritorious deeds can choose to stay in the empire, which can be regarded as a disguised recognition of the existence of the empire.
