It has been said that light is only a brief moment, and darkness is eternal.

But it is from the light of witnessing this moment that life and hope are born.

Therefore, although we all come from darkness, we are destined to spend this life chasing the light.

......

The year 1097 in the Terra calendar.

Victoria, Colombia, Casimir, Sami and many other world powers jointly confirmed the news of the complete "extinction" of natural disasters.

Suspicion and conspiracy theories were quickly discarded, and the world was convinced that the natural disasters had really disappeared.

This news is undoubtedly heartening, and it has also made the world's infected people in dire straits survive the cold winter forever.

In other words, as long as the natural disasters and source stones disappear, coupled with the effective control of countries around the world, there will be no more infected people in this world.

.....

This was good news for the people, but then the ripple effects caused by the disappearance of natural disasters began to play out in the world.

First of all, the source stone becomes a non-renewable energy source, and in turn, all industrial, production, transportation, communication and other facilities built around the source stone will become scrap metal in the next few years.

This is a hopeless fact, and even signs of panic are already appearing.

Just a few months later, however, Colombia unveiled a plan that breathed new life into the world's energy system.

.....

Throughout the development of the Terra civilization, it is only a short hundred years.

With the exception of the source stone, which is a super energy source, countries around the world have never invested in developing new energy sources because there is no point in it.

Decades ago, because of the horrific disappearance of a cruise ship, countries around the world stopped exploring the oceans, and people thought that what was lost was only sea and fish, no, what people really lost was a material buried in the sedimentary rock below the bottom of the sea.

The newly discovered substance is not officially named in Colombia at the moment, but if it were to be called "oil" in an easy-to-understand way.

In the face of this astonishing discovery, countries around the world soon began to build new energy mining facilities using the last source stones stored in the national treasury.

According to estimates, as long as there is no huge man-made turmoil in the world within 10 years, then the "seamless connection" of energy renewal can be basically achieved.

......

Top scientists from all over the world are working hard to study the application of new energy, but as the elite of Rhine Life, Hemmer is not involved.

She has more important work than energy experimentation.

The "World Destroyer Soldier" was buried by Xia Feng himself in the ancient ruins of Lateran, but it was not just a "weapon" that was buried together at that time.

In addition to this, there is a detailed ancient medical protocol for all the treatments.

This program is intended for patients who are suffering from the disease caused by the source stone.

Xia Feng doesn't understand medical treatment, but he can read ancient words with the memory of being awakened by the River Styx.

When he translated word by word to Hemer, the medical field of this world unsurprisingly opened a new door.

.....

Yes, in ancient civilizations, ore diseases could be cured, but in addition to the methods of subverting the existing medical system, an important substance was needed, which was blue pigment.

Judging from the current reserves of countries around the world, the amount of blue stone is almost negligible, and it cannot meet the huge group of infected people.

But it doesn't matter, Xia Feng knows where there are a lot of blue pigment stones.

In the deepest part of the Agore Sea, beneath the island that he had cut in half with his own hands, there was an inexhaustible supply of blue stone.

.....

In this way, this world, which was once full of gloom and despair, ushered in true light.

The infected and ordinary people put aside their contradictions and hatred, and returned to true equality together, and the countries of the world signed international treaties and carried out large-scale disarmament together.

From this moment on, the various races of Terra must unite as one to bring this era into a bright future.

After 3 years.

Inside a vintage-style pub in South Victoria.

The afternoon is quiet and quiet, and the tavern is very quiet.

A tall young man in a black trench coat sat at the bar, and behind his back, he carried a heavy sword.

"Boss, have another glass of osmanthus wine."

The boss behind the bar picked up the glass of wine he had pushed over and talked with a smile.

"Brother, our osmanthus wine here can't be sold for a few years, and few people in Victoria like to drink this, it seems that you are not from Victoria, right?"

This young man in a trench coat has black hair and black eyes, and his eyebrows are full of heroism.

"I grew up in Victoria, but when I grew up, I preferred the wine of my hometown, even if I never went back, but I heard from my mother that this osmanthus wine is more fragrant the more it sinks."

The boss smiled and filled his glass.

"Brother, you are a connoisseur, this osmanthus wine is indeed the longer the better."

After the second glass of wine, the young man unbuttoned his trench coat and put the sword behind his back on the bar.

On the hilt of his sword hung a black pendant, which was a black feather badge.

The boss was immediately attracted by the delicate-looking badge.

"Yo, you're a good thing, this color is made of obsidian, tsk, this workmanship, master-level level."

The man in black drank to himself.

"The boss still knows handicrafts?"

"Yes, I used to run a jewelry store with a friend, but then it closed down during the Victorian Dark Ages, heh, that can't be helped, it's good to be alive."

Seeing that the young man in black didn't say anything, the boss said tentatively.

"Little brother, can I take a closer look?"

"Whatever you want."

The boss lifted the feather badge hanging from the hilt of his sword and examined it carefully.

"Well... Take a closer look, it's really a master-level craft, and obsidian is also the best of the best, hey, how can there be numbers on it? 040, what does this mean? ”

The young man in black put down his wine glass and pretended to be deep.

"Nothing, it should be a forgotten history, or maybe it's just a story that very few people know."

There were no customers in the afternoon at the tavern, and the owner immediately became interested.

"Hey, this story seems to be good, little brother, tell me about it, I invited you for this meal today."

"It's a long story, I don't know where to start."

The boss put a whole bottle of osmanthus wine on the bar.

"It's okay, I have time, if I'm not mistaken, your 040 should be numbered."

"Almost."

"Well, let's start from the beginning, like the number 001 of this black feather badge, who is he?"

....

The twilight sun was mild, shining through the tavern windows on the bar.

The young man in black held the empty wine glass, his face nostalgic.

"The 001 of this badge...... is a man who can create miracles, perhaps, he does not belong to this world in the first place. ”

The boss could hear the melancholy in his voice.

"That man.... Is he gone? ”

"He...."

At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open.

A dignified, beautiful woman stood in the doorway, her hands on her hips, and shouted to the man sitting at the bar.

"Li Tianye, your mother called you home for dinner."

Ergou, who was sitting at the bar, glanced at the woman at the door gently, and then put away his sword neatly.

"Boss, thank you for the wine, I'm going home."

"Huh? Then this wine money..."

The second dog is cunning.

"You bought my story with wine, and as for the story, I'll tell you later, bye-bye, slipped away........."

.....

Seeing that he wanted to eat and drink for nothing, the tavern owner rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Ergou's collar.

"Good guy, I thought you were familiar with the kid just now, Li Tianye, I think about it now, you are the second dog in the Celt neighborhood, you played football when you were a child and broke the glass of my house!"

"Ah.......h

"Less nonsense, I want to run halfway through this story, there is no door, tell me quickly, who is the 001 with that black feather badge, and where has he gone?"

Ergou shrunk his neck and showed a smirk.

"Hey, hey, Lao Xia, he's very good, he's going to get married next week."

......

Downtown Happi City.

In front of a luxury playground, a young girl who had just learned to speak was held in her arms and asked by pointing to a few big words at the entrance of the playground.

"Mom, what's written on it?"

The big letters at the entrance of the playground read: "Eve Turtle Playground".

Her mom replied with a smile.

"This is the name of the playground, and it's called Eve Turtle Playground."

The little girl continued in a childish voice.

"Mom, why is the playground called that?"

Holding her daughter, Nan looked at the sign of the playground with a hint of nostalgia on her face.

"Maybe it was someone's interest many years ago."

At this time, Tang Hua ran over with an ice cream fart in one hand.

"Come on, come on, dad is back, good boy, let's eat ice cream with mom."

"Yay!"

The afternoon sun was very warm, and Nancy stretched her waist greatly when she sent her little daughter into Tang Hua's arms.

"Tang Hua."

Tang Hua hugged the girl with a happy face.

"Yes, my wife, please command."

Nancy touched her chin with one hand and said thoughtfully.

"It's the boss's wedding next week, have you figured out what we're going to give?"

"Huh? I didn't think about it, aren't you in charge of this kind of thing? ”

Nancy glared.

"I make you think! I told you about it last month! ”

"Forehead ......."

Under the forced gaze of his wife, Tang Hua racked his brains and began to meditate.

"Well..... Wife, what gift did Xia Feng give when we got married? ”

Nancy rolled her eyes.

"What you eat, use, and spend now, including the big string of zeros in our bank account, are all given by the boss."

"En........."

"Hurry up!"

"Yes!"

...........

A library in the city center.

In the quiet reading area, a woman with an extremely bad attitude is unpleasantly flipping through a book that records the "Victorian Dark Ages".

The tall woman with crystallized horns on her head casually flipped through a few pages and let out a voice that seemed to question the world.

"Huh? What the heck? ”

Then, she threw the book on the ground and stepped on it twice.

"What a broken book, Lord Ben is going to burn down this broken library!"

Before the library's security arrived, she was being dragged away by a woman with glasses.

Obviously she looks very mature, but the woman who was pulled by the collar still made a voice that did not match her age.

"Let go of me, let go of me!"

"Shut up."

"What a broken book, and a meteorite, it's obviously an adult's ....."

"Shut up."

.....

After pulling Ifrit out of the library, Hemmer pushed his glasses helplessly and sighed.

"Ifrit, you're an adult now, why are you still screaming?"

Dressed fashionably and with a beautiful hairstyle, Ifrit folded her arms unhappily and muttered.

"Cut, it's not that broken book scribbled ....... yet"

Seeing her still childish appearance, Hemmer could only smile.

"Okay, don't be angry, think about it, next week is Xia Feng's wedding, what gift do you want to give?"

"Huh? I don't have to give gifts. ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm a wedding worker."

Ifrit grinned, smirking and giving Hemmer a scissorhands.

"I've already agreed with Yoyo that I'm solely responsible for the barbecue of his wedding, and in addition, I'm also in charge of setting off fireworks with Ah Guang!"

.........

Kilt neighborhood, Black Feather Grill.

Xia Feng carefully put away the prepared wedding ring, and in his heart, he was silently reciting the wedding lines written to him by Sun Fugui over and over again.

"I do..... I do.... I do..... I'm willing to ......."

Ah Guang sat on the sofa and pricked up his ears.

"Brother Feng, what have you been muttering about since the morning?"

Xia Feng looked up from behind his desk.

"Ah Guang, no, I'm a little nervous."

"Brother Feng, you're too nervous, it's not today, the wedding is next week."

"But I'm still nervous."

The crow walked into the hall from the courtyard with a roasted sweet potato, and said with a smile as he ate.

"It's okay, everyone is nervous the first time, and the next time I'll have experience, ouch!"

Frost Moon next to him kicked him.

"What nonsense, how can there be a next time."

At this moment, a group of "fairies" who are more beautiful than flowers walk in through the door of the barbecue restaurant.

The bagpipes, the frost star, the Mesha, the Lapland wore dresses of four different colors and floated in like a flower butterfly.

Standing in front of Xia Feng, the bagpipe said with a smug face.

"How about Xia Feng, the dress of our bridesmaid group is not bad, hey, I won't tell you, you don't understand, let's go, Frost Star, Mesa, Lapland, let's go to the courtyard and rehearse again."

....

The girls walked naturally, except for Lapland, who was wearing high heels, limped.

"Gee, I'm not used to wearing skirts, bagpipes, can I change my pants on the wedding day?"

"No way!"
