''The past is the past...'' The old mage lay as weak as a terminally ill patient in a cloth shed covered with grease. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He was so old that his pale lips would tremble even when he spoke.

Even so, he still wants to try to straighten up and pass on the pride of culture to these young people who don't know the past.

''Even if humanity... It's weak, but knowledge makes a race strong. We can only hide in this small ruin now, but I still want you to understand that weak... Not a sin, but being willing to be weak is the saddest sin in the world. ‘’

The old mage stretched out his trembling hands, trying in vain to caress the handle of the bedside that had been with him for almost two hundred years, an old staff covered with scars that was about to break off.

The old mage tried for a while, and found that it was far from what he had imagined, so he had to retract his hand in a huff.

He was so old that even his once sharp eyes had become difficult to use.

''I guess how many years has it been...... About, huh...... It seems like... , was thirty years ago... Thirty years have passed?''

The old mage suddenly choked up. yes, it's been thirty years. He thought of the friend who was always his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, the rugged man who always held a bloody war knife, who didn't even know a few big characters, but always noisily proclaimed his love of art to others.

Well, now, in that catastrophe that didn't even know what happened, he didn't even have a skeleton left.

''Where are we...... Is that goddamn god war?"

The old man paused abruptly for a moment.

"It was really an inexplicable war. God suddenly ignored the backlash of other forces and forcibly intervened in the world. I have to say that in the face of the gods who have accumulated tens of millions of years, it is really like rolling ants, crushing human beings from the inside out. Remembering the black gem at that time, the destructive spirit generated by its eruption swept through almost the entire city. To this day, it is still a Jedi of life. ”

The old mage looked at the shelter hidden deep in the underground ruins in front of him, and said with a sigh:

"But it's almost!"

"Alright, alright. That's all for today. The old mage clapped his hands and gathered the children together, and with a painful face, he took out a few rats that did not have long eyes and handed them to the half-grown children.

"I think back then, when I was lecturing, people were scrambling to listen. I didn't expect that I would have to teach today to let others listen to my lessons......" The old man seemed to think of the old scenery, and muttered dissatisfaction like an old naughty boy.

The child who was about to turn away hurriedly put on a smiling face, who made this old man who was always lying on the bed always be able to bring out heart-warming food every time he lectured. This is an irresistible temptation for children who are always unable to fill their stomachs.

"Don't look at me like that! That's all for today, stinky boys, if you still want it, come back tomorrow. ”

"And, Kerr, you stay first. ”

"Yes, Teacher"

A tall and thin teenager walked out from among the children, his long black hair was messily scattered, slightly blocking the dark blue eyes, but it could not hide the two extreme emotions mixed with calm and madness, the young face with a slightly heavy vicissitudes of life, as if he had experienced countless sorrows, if anyone looked closely at his dirty hands, he would find that the slender and well-proportioned fingers, as if containing a force not to be underestimated.

The old mage nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

He had countless disciples, and this child he rescued from the rubble was undoubtedly the proudest one. Although he likes to be stunned sometimes, he is young and spicy, and most importantly, he is smart enough. You know, in this damn world, stupid people are always hard to survive.

If only he were there......

Suddenly, a sobbing in front of the grass bed interrupted the old man's train of thought.

As soon as the children closed the door, without warning, the cold iron on Kerr's face suddenly collapsed, crying like a tearful man, trembling and kneeling on the ground, the suppressed and sobbing voice seemed to be experiencing great sadness and fear.

"You've used that power again...... Ahem, ahem. The old man didn't seem surprised at all, but struggled to get up.

"Teacher, I... I can't do it...... I can't do it!" Kerr, who was kneeling on the ground, was still grieving and suffering, and the boy had now lost his disguised and calm skin, crying like a lost child.

"Wake up!" the old mage slammed to his feet, waved his hand and picked up the staff placed on the head of the bed and struck it hard, and when the staff was half a foot away from the boy, a dazzling light suddenly erupted and enveloped him.

There was a loud "boom", and the dilapidated cloth shed became even more dilapidated, and it was obvious that it could no longer be inhabited.

"How's it going, have you come to your senses?" said the old mage with a disappointed expression on his face as he struggled to crawl out of the garbage heap.

The boy stopped sobbing, but he still sat on the ground with a depressed face. "Teacher, I can't do it. ”

The old mage's expression became more and more disappointed, in such a world, if a person could not restrain even his most basic curiosity and desire. Then, even a piece of jade is still difficult to polish.

"Did you use that power? The old mage asked again.

"No, it's it...... It's talking, it's talking!" the young man hurriedly raised his head with an ignorant and confused face, as if he wanted to get some solace and some proof from the old man.

"It's saying, it's saying: You're afraid of me..."

Kerr buried his head between his arms and stopped looking into the old mage's eyes. Maybe I don't want to, maybe I don't dare.

If he loses his only support in this world, he doesn't know how to face all this.

The old man was stunned, he had never thought of such a scene, rubbed his old withered hands and looked at his disciple speechlessly, not knowing what to say for a while.

After a long while, the old mage slowly stroked his old friend, and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke like a sigh,

"Really, I was scared too?"

”......“

"Well, forget that, Kerr. Go ahead and tell Rouse that it's time for a new round of exploration. It's been a long time, and there is not much food left in the shelter, and even the food prepared for the children who came to listen to the class is only a mouse. Presumably, the situation outside is getting more and more chaotic. The Divine War is getting bigger and bigger. The old mage's murmur grew softer and softer until it was inaudible.

The small wooden door creaked and was pushed open from the inside. Ironically, the rags that served as walls around the wooden door had fallen in two places from what had just happened, and they were stacked on top of each other like rags in the old mage's story.

The old man looked at the young man's back as if he was running away, and slowly raised his hand to stop him, but he stopped talking, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.

......

"I need warriors, warriors who are truly not afraid of sacrifice. A loud roar resounded throughout the cavern.

Compared to its predecessors, this is still a very young underground ruin. It looked like a hill dwarf stronghold, with a cluster of mines forming a huge underground plaza, and in some places there were even traces of roads visible in the slightly aged square. But in this case, almost all the buildings became black charcoal, and the closer to the east, the more so. It looks like the work of the Red Dragon. However, in this troubled world, there are countless so-called inexplicable relics. No one knows who the nightmare will befall in the next moment.

The bearded Rouse is organizing candidates to leave the Vault and explore outside. Beside him, Kerr narrowed his eyes and prepared for battle, but no one could feel the exhaustion and numbness in his eyes.

......

-- On the day after the end of humanity, the world suddenly went into chaos without warning, and of course, it could be the day of destruction.

The gods who had always been headless had declared war on each other, and the war suddenly began. People are just the first stumbling blocks to be destroyed because there is no guardian spirit.

Even humanity was eliminated without understanding the reason for the madness of the world.

The surviving humans hid in the dark corners to breathe.

However, lack of food and water is the deadliest factor for people nowadays.
