Epilogue: The Reunion of the Temple of Time
The roar continued, and the huge rings above the sky seemed to crack, revealing the deep blue cosmic space behind them. On the shattered floating land, the Demon God Pillars were silent, and their lifeless figures were like dead trees.
When he opened his eyes, Lu Mingfei found that he was falling, and below was an endless abyss, no matter how he fell, he didn't look like he could be safe and sound.
It's a little distant, but it seems that the circumstances that haven't been long in the past have made him lose his mind a little. Then, a slender hand reached out to him as he slowly fell.
"It's not over yet! Senior, reach out! The girl looked at him with a panicked expression.
She didn't seem to be keeping what was happening on the Antarctic continent of another world, yes, she was in a daze at that time, and even her own existence could only be barely maintained under the power of the Fourth Beast. What happened at that time may have been an ethereal dream for her.
Returning to the broken road, the coordinates of the recovery were in front of him, and at this time, Lu Mingfei didn't bother to think about why he didn't recycle himself directly to Chaldea. He looked back, and in the collapsed space, he saw a figure dodging beside the lonely jade seat.
He smiled silently and didn't stop him, which can be regarded as a little tacit understanding between them.
After their figures disappeared from the recovered coordinates, the entire space fell silent, the huge rings in the sky dispersed, and the corpse of the dry Demon God Pillar disappeared completely. A footstep sounded beside the lonely jade seat, and someone stepped forward and placed the nine rings on the jade seat.
"If you take it all, it's easy to see that I'm not gone. The rest is left here, after all, you can get it back at any time. The orange-haired man explained to himself.
There was no one around him, but a voice responded to him: "Don't you follow?" ”
The orange-haired man paused for a moment and said softly, "While the clairvoyance was still in possession, I saw a little bit of what Maris was going to do, it was a very bad future, and it had already begun, and it could not be stopped. What you've done is only slightly delaying the time it happens. ”
He exhaled, looked at the deep night sky after the huge aura dissipated, and said slowly: "Lu is right, there is indeed a part of my responsibility in this. ”
"yes, that's up to you." The voice said, "After all, you've always been so careless. ”
The orange-haired man smiled bitterly: "Is your prejudice against me a little too big?" ”
"I'm just targeting you when you're alive, and of course, it's pretty much the same at this time."
"Forget that, let's go see the world Maris has built, and at least find out the situation before they get there......"
Sunny weather always makes people feel good, especially during the half year when it's daylight, but only a day or two to see the sun. The girl with the violet hair looked at the snow shining in the sunlight in a daze, and the warmth of the cold wind made her eyes reveal an incredible look.
After coming back, she saw the empty command chair, and her expression was still a little sad, but after being called away by Da Vinci and saying something, she returned to her usual appearance of not being able to see what she was thinking, and only in front of Lu Mingfei was she like an excited little beast that she couldn't hold back.
"Senior, I seem to have had a dream before." Matthew muttered, "In my dreams, I seem to see my seniors' family and friends, they are a very friendly group of people. ”
"Friendliness...... It's pretty much the same. Lu Mingfei replied softly.
"Fu~", the little white beast jumped out of nowhere. She first ran around Matthew's shoulder, then jumped on Lu Mingfei's shoulder, looking at him with a pair of eyes.
Matthew was a little surprised and said, "Fufu seems to have become a lot closer to her seniors." ”
“…… After all, a lot has happened. Lu Mingfei replied with a chuckle.
"In the future, I will meet a lot of friendly people." Matthew said, his eyes filled with hope for the future.
Looking at the front silently with her, Lu Mingfei said softly: "Well, it will definitely be ......"
……
The church bell rang three times, and all the teachers and students of the Kassel Academy stopped their work and gathered in front of the church. Today, it is another day when the graduating class is leaving.
It's now the third year since the end of the Antarctic event, and in the past three years, a lot of things have changed, but it seems like nothing has changed. What has changed is the Kassel Academy, but what has not changed is the world.
Kassel Academy was inevitably affected, but even with the loss of dragon blood and alchemy, the school board still had a good influence in the secular world. Under various deliberate guidance, the truth of the Antarctic incident was hidden, and the celestial anomaly that day was regarded as a rather rare natural phenomenon.
And most importantly, of course, someone left something on the moon. After repairing the damaged Antarctic continent, another wave of suggestive magic was sent out on a global scale, and even some of the people who stayed in Antarctica forgot the events of that day under the hint.
For example, the people of Shilan Middle School, who were originally ordinary people, only remembered that one of their high school classmates disappeared in Antarctica, except for one person. And the rest of the people are all keeping this secret together.
Although there are still various conspiracy theorists and occult enthusiasts who are delving into it, claiming that the truth of the world is definitely more than that. But no one cared anymore, because everything about dragons was gone.
Like the Kassel Academy, the various half-blood families in the world have lost dragon blood and alchemy, and the loss is not insignificant. It's just that the Kassel Academy, which claims to be a violent institution, but is actually an educational institution, still has a huge industry under its umbrella after putting aside dragon blood and alchemy, relying on these, they quickly completed the transformation and became a real aristocratic university, and began to recruit students from the world.
The Academy's cellar is almost completely abandoned, and the Equipment Department, which has not yet built the Gundam, is resentful of transforming into a developer of civilian technology. They developed a sports car that was very popular with car enthusiasts, and the speed was claimed to be better than that of the Bugatti Veyron, but it often ignored the driver's feelings and was a bit of a waste of the driver.
Without a research goal, the professors and elders returned to the surface, some chose to stay in the academy to continue teaching, and some chose to return to their hometowns to enjoy their old age in peace. The dragon blood of all half-breeds was stripped of them, and the longevity bestowed by dragon blood was gone, and they who should have been lying in coffins did not die immediately.
Their golden pupils disappeared, and their spirit of speech was indeed gone, but their physical fitness was somewhat preserved. This is not to say that they still have a strong physique, just that they have reverted to the same age as they look.
They also looked at this very openly, and some people even joked that after death, they should be buried in the tomb used for disguise when they left the world. This is not easy for the academy, because many of them have well-known cemeteries, and there are many people who come to visit and admire, and it is quite a challenge to dig them up and bury people in them.
Outside the church, Ange stood on the stage and spoke loudly, and it was hard to believe that this old man, who was only sixty or seventy years old, had actually experienced two world wars, and almost witnessed the third world war. With his current state, it is estimated that he can still nag on it for more than ten years.
The original Lionhearts Society, as the teachers of the academy, sat in the teacher's seat like ordinary people. After becoming ordinary people and reliving a life, they also flew all over the world at first, but when they had seen enough of the current world, they all returned here. It may not be appropriate for them to be teachers as antiques, but in this world, everyone has something to teach you.
The returning elders of the Doomsday Sect also served in the Academy, and the original professors of the Academy were unraveled by the hypnotic suggestion that had been exerted, and they accepted the colleagues who had been missing for more than a decade with mixed expressions. After all, it's different now, and if there is one less acquaintance, it is really less.
In addition, there are former graduates standing on the viewing platform. Aki Aki, who was wearing mature jewelry, quietly winked at Mai Jiu De on the school board seat, and beside her was Ye Sheng, who was tall. Their original intention was to stay in the Executive Department, but now they have been sent to Huaxia to hand over to the original Eastern Half-breed to discuss the establishment of the branch school.
Now the executive department, like the equipment department, has been transformed into an elite white-collar worker. That is to say, the teaching level of Kassel Academy is usually good, so that this group of guys who usually dance knives and guns can be white-collar workers when they have no weapons.
The situation of the Eastern half-breeds is similar to what they are now, and it is better that the families who have been sent abroad have accumulated a lot of wealth, which can settle the people who have fled from the Great Source. Without the protection of Dayuan, those who were not polluted by dragon blood before accepted the arranged life and work after adapting to modern life, although simple but also satisfied.
Fingal was also on the old student's viewing platform, with EVA in his arms, both of whom had rings on their hands. They circumnavigated the Arctic Ocean, as if to tell their former accomplices that the world was no longer the same. Because EVA still has spirits, he rubbed a wave of Valhalla's cars, and the others were not so lucky.
Su Enxi still occupies a seat on the school board, which in fact proves that her talent for doing business has nothing to do with dragon blood, and she is still smooth sailing after the boss disappeared. Now she was winking at Zero among the graduates, and she was kicked on the stool by Mai Jiu De before she retracted for a moment.
The three sisters of the assistant group may be the most nourishing people they have ever lived, and the fat sheep are no longer enough to describe them. It's just that the boss who instructed them to disappear again, although there have been many such things in the past, but after experiencing so many things, there will definitely be discomfort.
As for Christina, the unanimous subordinate of the assistant regiment, went back to join the army, for her, joining the army is not only revenge on her biological father, but also a reward for her adoptive father's training. The truth about the biological father was revealed, although the process was a little tortuous and bizarre, and the result was very satisfying, but the adoptive father's cultivation for more than ten years cannot be forgotten.
Another person with such feelings was Chu Zihang, who was standing in the queue of graduates, Chu Tianjiao came back suddenly, startled Su Xiaoyan, and then scolded him and didn't see him after that. Chu Tianjiao was not discouraged, nor did he engage in any small means of price reduction, but he usually dangled in front of her, and secretly cursed the surnamed Lu for a few years if he encountered some natural or man-made disaster.
Chu Zihang doesn't plan to get involved in their affairs, even if one day Chu Tianjiao can make Su Xiaoyan change his mind, he will still call his stepfather and father, the kind that is sincere. Susie, who was standing next to him, didn't know about it, but felt that he had a lot more smiling faces than usual.
Another complicated family situation is Caesar, who is gritting his teeth next to him, and Gattuso's real housewife has popped up again, causing countless women who are worried about this position to crush their teeth. Pompey, who had dissociated himself from them, now did nothing, and after the seat of the school director and the head of the house were directly thrown to Caesar, he disappeared with his mother as if he was flattering. Then I undoubtedly misremembered my son's graduation ceremony, and now I am probably rushing to the academy.
Chen Motong secretly chewed bubble gum, with a look of indifference, the Chen family's parents became the leading party, and the Chen family disappeared without accident in the liquidation. She didn't say anything about it, just rolled her eyes at Ying Long, who had been muttering in her mind that she should go back and see.
Looking at the vacant position in front of her, she actually felt a little remorseful, if she hadn't been cowardly and hadn't rushed over to join in the fun, would she not have been pulled over by the arrest of the strong man, and the situation would be different from now, and the president would not have disappeared?
As for what the world will become in the end, and whether it will get worse, that is not for her to consider. Although she may lose rotten eggs for saying this, she is such a person.
In addition to the former graduates, there were also members of various branches, and they undoubtedly accepted the transformation. For example, the president of the Japanese branch Minamoto and his relatives who came to watch the ceremony.
The Japanese underworld is legal, even if the dragon's blood is all gone, it doesn't seem to have that much impact on them, but the patriarch Uesugi still feels that it is not appropriate, so he waved his hand...... Countless affordable ramen trucks were pulled out of Genji Heavy Industries and quickly took over Tokyo's low-cost snack market.
The subordinate gangs who originally licked the blood with the knife head were dumbfounded, but after a while, they found that there was still money to be made! As a result, all kinds of milk tea trucks and fast food trucks appeared on the streets of Tokyo. Gen Zhisheng, whose original ultimate goal was to go to the beach to sell anti-sucker oil, was also successfully promoted to the president of Snake Food Industry.
The symptoms on his body caused by the imperial blood have been alleviated a lot, and Uesugi Yue, who is still alive and kicking under the effect of modern medicine, in addition to looking like he wants to compare with Angebi who will send him away first, is muttering that the imperial blood is gone, and his two daughters-in-law's stomachs should also move.
As for the eldest lady of the Uesugi family, it is not surprising that she entered the Kassel Academy and is currently in the delegation of current students. At first, her anxious lack of common sense made Chen Motong, who volunteered to take good care of her, collapse, and then in the midst of the collapse, the two of them stared at the empty Lionheart President's office in a daze.
In the past, some of the dragon kings lived like no one else, and even opened a company. Ronald and his brother opened an electronics factory, and the business was actually good. The subordinates who have become ordinary people all work here, and there is even room to help the Xia Mi sisters and brothers who pretend to be young and don't do anything.
For them, the people in the academy said that it was impossible to be awkward, but the war was over, everyone had become ordinary people, and no one wanted to start a dispute again. Beowulf volunteered to spy on them, but after watching for a few years and finding no movement, he went home bored, like the vice-principal.
And it seems that some people know that they will be annoying, so they simply hide from the world, out of sight and out of mind. Behemoth and Leviathan were seen on an island in the Pacific Ocean, and they seemed to get along well with the natives there.
Shulotel and Koyatl wander the ruins of Indian civilization in Central America and China, with the former in occasional contact with the trio of assistants. And the latter was insane, and seemed to have gone insane because of the excessive cutting of his consciousness, and one day fell to his death without accident. Not surprised by this, Shulotel buried him and disappeared.
On the podium, Ange was saying that the greatest goal of the Kassel graduates is to strive for the construction of love and peace for mankind. It's a bad topic, but it's an uplifting feeling when he says it.
In fact, they really did that, the biggest goal of slaying dragons was gone, and the academy inevitably entered a period of confusion. Then, this group of guys who were originally in the second to the second to the oversized energy found themselves a goal that seemed to be a little difficult, but it was undoubtedly much easier than slaying dragons - world peace.
Some people laugh at this, and some people really work hard for it, after all, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future!
"All partings are for a better reunion......" Ange looked at the only missing spot in the graduate queue, his share would be collected by Giovanni or Lulincheng as usual.
But as he continued, there were people in the graduate crowd whose mobile phones rang impolitely, and there were more than one. His mobile phone rang naturally, a group message from the Kassel Academy's train management department.
The queue of graduates was sensational, and she looked at the information expressionlessly, greeted Su Enxi and Jiude Mai from the school board of directors, and ran out of the skirt of the bachelor's robe that was a little too loose for her. Chen Motong was also urged by Ying Long to hurry up, pulled up the Uesugi Eri of the student delegation, and rushed out of the queue before Chu Zihang and Caesar.
There were also people in the faculty seats and viewing platforms who left their seats, and this graduation ceremony probably ended unsafely. But Ange, who had a smile on the corner of his mouth, didn't care, after all, all partings were for a better reunion.
……
Su Xiaoqiang is very unhappy now, after the Antarctic incident, she found that the people around her seemed to have no memory of that day. When she was confused, the Kassel Academy sent an invitation to study, and she hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Although the Kassel Academy is now no longer mysterious and different from before, it also allows her to vent her original resentment. And then the resentment against someone who was met later, and as a result, disappeared was born again.
And now, the CC1000 train to the college was actually delayed, which made her even more unhappy when she was in a hurry to return to school to attend the graduation ceremony.
She has heard the complaints of her former brothers and sisters that this train has been delayed many times before, but after recruiting students, the train is like an ordinary shuttle bus between two o'clock frequently, and it will come and go five times a day, late or something, she has not met it in the past three years.
The reception staff outside the school explained in a panic that the stranded students were because someone had swiped the wrong student card, which caused the scheduling system to malfunction, and the college was looking for professionals to solve it. This is also the first time they have encountered this situation since they joined the company in the past three years, and panic is inevitable.
Su Xiaoqiang's face was strange, and the failure of the student card had not been encountered after the school replaced the student ID. The old hierarchy has also been eliminated with the disappearance of dragon blood, and the permission cards and student cards of teachers and students have naturally ushered in a wave of replacement.
As she approached the entrance, she heard the receptionists explaining to the students who had swiped the wrong card that they had never seen an S-Class student card. Su Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered that she had indeed seen a student card with a letter level, Chu Zihang's discarded student card was, and the S-level student card seemed to be only one......
She pushed away the crowd with red eyes, rushed to the front of the crowd, and saw the appearance of the student who had swiped the wrong card. He looked a little plain in his clothes, and he had a head of hair that looked a little messy, as if he hadn't woken up, saying that his student card had always been this one.
Then he stopped talking, because he also saw Su Xiaoqiang and a group of people pouring out of the train that arrived at the station.
