Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, fate brought disaster upon the Zuan people when they were at their most complacent.

In less than a dozen seconds, the slight shaking turned into a powerful tremor that could not stand at all, a hoarse cry could be heard from the depths of the earth, and the song of death masked the cheers that had not yet dissipated.

In an instant, Zaun's singing turned into hellish screams and wails.

There were many figures in front of him, and he didn't know who hit him, Connor, who didn't stand firmly, staggered to the ground and hit the back of his head, and suddenly, the dizzy man heard his son's voice.

"Father! Get out of here!

！ The ground is falling!

！ ”

"Earth...... Shake...... Why, why is this happening...... Obviously everything was perfect......"

The man finally struggled out of his trance, and looked south towards his son.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of majestic and tall buildings collapsed, flying dust and rubble rolled the ants of Zu'an into pieces, solid ground sank, and yellow-green chemical gases could be seen spreading farther afield.

The earth in the southwest split a bottomless crack, and then began to spread in all directions, like the mouth of an abyss, spreading beyond the comprehension of mortals, as if it wanted to swallow the entire city into its belly.

"Father! Run north! Come on!

！ ”

Pulled up by his son Javid, Connor patted his head and grabbed the somewhat restless young man with his backhand.

Javid looked at his father with a puzzled expression, he didn't know why his father was trying to stop him from escaping when he was in such danger, but before the young man could say anything, Connor said in a hoarse voice.

"Look at the coast!! The rift will soon spread to the North Shore! Once the rift connects to the Zuan Strait, the sea water will pour in and directly flood Zuan! Running north now is a dead end! ”

Looking in the direction Connor was pointing, Javid quickly understood what his father meant, and at the moment even he had no idea but to turn to his sophisticated father for help.

"What then?"

Connor gritted his teeth and pointed to the east bank.

"Run to the East Coast! It's high terrain over there, and it's still a granite vein, so I don't believe that the depression can spread there! ”

While the two were talking, the foundation of the 100-mile radius of Zu'an's southern city continued to sink, and tens of thousands of people had little chance to escape, and they followed the collapsed city and sank below sea level.

The cracks in the ground were still spreading to the west coast, growing faster and faster like shattered eggshells.

On the Zaun, Dean Terence, the chief in charge of observing the blasting works, collapsed on the deck and whispered the order to withdraw from the strait to the northeast.

Things are completely out of control, and the rough waves can overturn the ship at any moment, and he can only prioritize the safety of the crew.

"Heaven, why did this befall me, why did ......"

Looking at the weeping Dean Terrance, the other engineers lowered their heads, knowing that no matter how the disaster was caused, Dean Terrance's career was completely over.

Meanwhile, Lyster holds Jana in her arms and falls with the collapsed building. When he was about to hit the ground, he was lifted up by a swirling air current, and fell gently to the ground.

With the sound of a tsunami coming from afar, Lyist could see a white line covering the sky rushing towards his position from the northwest.

At this moment, in the midst of a desperate city, Lyist only felt a little noisy.

"Hundreds of years have passed, and I finally hear their calls again, as they are about to die at sea."

As she said this, Cana rested her chin on the man's shoulder, and her voice was soft, like a gust of wind that could drift away at any moment.

Let Cana lean on his shoulder, Lyist caressed Cana's smooth back, he didn't expect that the materialized Cana actually had such a good feel, as smooth as silk, fortunately, he was now in the time of the sage, and he didn't have the idea of a small head commanding a big head.

Then again, he's blaspheming the Wind Elves now, right?

"It's in the nature of most people to be ungrateful, let alone an obscure nature spirit like you."

After a pause, Jana whispered.

"At least you've always remembered me."

Although he was a little reluctant, the man still chose to take the initiative to let go of Cana, and from the movement of Cana slowly raising his hand, he sensed the reluctance, which made the man feel a lot better.

"Go ahead, do what you want to do, if you don't have enough strength, come to me to draw, I'll wait here for you to come back."

"This time, I'm not for the Zuan, just for you, Lyster, I just want to protect you."

The Wind Elf lightly imprinted Sakura's lips on Lyist's lips, and before the man could savor the smell of the wind, the elf turned into a gust of wind and disappeared in place.

"This is, Cana's mark?"

A peculiar feeling came to mind.

Although the elf had left, Lyster could still feel Jana's position, stretched out his right hand and tried to summon the wind element, and after a few seconds, a small cyclone flowed around the palm of his hand, which was the gift and power of the wind elf.

Caressing his lips, Lyist's face was full of smiles.

……

"Jana! Jana! Help us! ”

"Arem! Aleme! Where are you! I need your help! ”

A very small number of elderly believers who believe in Cana finally remember their long-forgotten name, holding the bluebird amulet in hand, and the Zuan people who believe in Cana call the name of the Zuan patron saint again and again.

The collapse of the earth and buildings, the raging fires, the ubiquitous yellow-green chemical gases, and the raging waves of the earth, the disaster came too suddenly, and the technology and machinery that the Zu'an people were so proud of could not play any role, and they could only watch the rapid loss of life one by one.

There are 50,000 people living in the southern city of Zu'an, and there are 20,000 residents near the west coast alone, and at this moment the sea has poured in, the waves have flooded the city borders, and the people who have survived the many disasters are completely desperate.

High in the sky, Jana stared at the earth for a long time and sighed softly.

I'm afraid this will be the last time she will be the god of the Zuans.

"Feng'er, please listen to my voice."

The scattered wind elementals began to actively converge towards Jana's side, and Cana guided the wind elementals, condensing the wind elements into powerful whirlwinds, driving the whirlwind, and Janna approached the waves that spread towards the city.

"Go, Feng'er, please stop these turbulent waves and open a way out for humanity."

Hundreds of whirlwinds obeyed orders formed a wall of wind, which was like an invisible city, blocking the sea and waves on the west side of the city.

Immediately afterward, Jana blew out the raging fires in the city, carrying the spreading poisonous gases into the air above the desert.

An escape route to the East appeared in front of the Zuans.

"It's a miracle of the wind! It's Garn Arem! The patron god of Zaun, Garem, has come to our rescue! ”

"Jana! Thank you! Kudos to you! I will always remember your kindness! Let my children and grandchildren worship you! ”

The Zuans, who had witnessed the miracle, knelt on the ground and chanted the praises of Jana, but unfortunately, no one could find out where Jana was when Jana did not want to show up.

The winds that blocked the sea blew for three days, during which most of the Zuan people who were stranded in the submerged city fled, and even so, according to the accident casualty statistics of the Zuan Council, more than 8,000 people remained forever in the ruins of the city, dying from disasters and accidents.

……

Three months have passed since the cataclysm caused by the explosion of the isthmus, and the XC district in the south of Zuan has been reduced to a tidal flat and urban ruins.

To this day, Zaun is still in mourning.

The head of the blasting project, Dean Terence, resigned, and the three Zaun councillors who led the expansion of the strait were forced to step down, and even the family had a serious crisis of confidence.

Unable to determine which project leader was responsible for the disaster, the Zaun Council had no choice but to abandon accountability after a thorough investigation, and out of humanitarian reasons, eight project participants 'voluntarily' donated one-eighth of the project money to Zaun to support the reconstruction of Zaun.

Zuan, who had suffered heavy casualties, had to put the construction plan of the Sun Gate on hold for a long time, and the task of rebuilding Zuan was the first priority.

Due to the erosion of the current and the impact of the strong winds, the rocks re-blocked the cracks in the ground that connected the strait, and the reconstruction work of Zuan was relieved of a lot of burden.

Due to the high terrain, the damage on the north bank of Zaun was not serious, and in response to the phenomenon of seawater backflow on the north bank, the Zuan Council decided to build underground waterways by digging ditches to divert water into the Pilt River to alleviate the flooding.

The most difficult to rebuild is the southern shore of Zu'an, because the southern city of Zu'an collapsed greatly in the earthquake, the city is below sea level, and the terrain is different, and the falling rock surface is very different, how to rebuild the city on the undulating ground and ensure that the southern part of Zu'an does not suffer from flooding has become the most difficult problem to solve.

Through the survey of geological engineers, the Zuan Council decided to revise the drawings of the Sun Gate and move the construction site to the west about a kilometer, so that the Sun Gate Sea Gate would be the first line of defense to stop the canal from flooding, the second line of defense would be made of cement reinforced embankments, and the third line of drainage defense would be made of culverts.

After the work of isolating the water source was completed, the Zuan Council approved the deliberations and announced the construction of the culvert.

The culverts will be built on the ruins of the former southern heavy industrial zone, connecting the Sun Gate to the north and the collapsed southern city of Zu'an to the south.

Under a series of resolutions of the Zuan Parliament, the Zuan people gradually recovered from their injuries and started a new life in the reconstruction work.

As Lyster had predicted, it was difficult for the Zaun to do anything for Jana after the disaster.

Standing on a hill on the northern shore of the Zaun Strait, Lyist looked out at the black-smoked south, and on his left shoulder, a small bluebird was shaking its head, staring at the white-faced owl on the man's right shoulder.

"Some councillors proposed to build you a giant god statue, but the other councillors rejected it on the grounds that 'Zaun is most proud of science and technology, not gods who don't know when they will appear and when they will disappear', but some of the people you saved have protested, but unfortunately, it is useless to go to the door of the council and shout twice."

"Lyist, you should know that I am no longer the god of the Zuans, and the roots that make me up are now tied to you, which is why you can control the wind element,

If you die, or you forget me, I will dissipate completely. ”

The blue bird tilted his head and did not speak, but the voice came directly to Lyster's mind.

"I'm really happy that you're doing this, but it's not a good thing for you."

"Since I have chosen you, I will never regret it."

Jana's voice was so firm that Lyster sighed secretly.

“…… Thank you, Jana, for trusting me so much. ”

The oncoming wind made Lyster squint, and he suddenly remembered what had happened in the Enchanted Garden of Ionia.

He still doesn't know why Jana left him.

Now that Jana has chosen him, he can ask.

"Jana, do you remember that more than seven hundred years ago, you followed me to the Enchanted Garden of Ionia, when Ionia was holding the Feast of the Blooming Spirit, which was caused by demons.

I went to the spiritual realm to fight against Moteng, and by the time I came out, you were gone. ”

The blue bird suddenly flew off its shoulder, turning into Cana's elven form.

On Cana's face, Lyster saw a deep apology.

"That demon, he launched a soul attack on you, trying to cut off the spiritual connection between your body and soul, I tried to stop it, but unfortunately I failed, and after my strength was exhausted, I fell into a deep sleep."

Hearing this, Lyist lay on the ground, staring at Roy hovering in the sky.

"So that's the case, I thought you abandoned me, because you left me, I was sad for a long time, I was going to take you to those captains' troubles, and I lost interest when you left."

"Lyster ......"

Cana bent down and obscured Lyster's view with something majestic.

Lyist had to admit that it was difficult for him to take his eyes off the beautiful scenery, but at this moment, the eyes of the female elf attracted him even more.

This is some kind of outpouring of true feelings, which is rarely the case in the case of Gana of Mune.

"Until now, I still don't understand, what am I in your eyes?

Is it transcendent? Is it a god? Is it a magic elf? Or someone you love? Why do you have such mixed feelings for me? ”

The unexpected question stunned Lyster, and the man sat up and responded to the elf's question with action.
