Side Story: The Lord Says

A huge white fireball shot out from afar, falling into the vast valley.

The sky in the distance is illuminated.

The ninth-order magic, the Flame Fall, is the highest level of magic performed by the Sirens, a large offshore clan, with the magic of nearly a million people from all over the clan.

The valley is one of the three major settlements of the Leopard people.

At this time, flames were burning everywhere in the valley, and even lava flowed like a river at the bottom of the valley. The whole valley was filled with the sound of burning flames, and nothing else.

The leopard people in the settlement, from men to women, from young children to the elderly, were all buried under the ninth-order magicβ€”the Flame Fall, and the sound of the flames still burning on the ground seemed to be the cry of those dead souls.

The Kraken have declared war on the Leopard Race.

On New Year's Eve, in the children's area.

I and the other little boys who had fallen asleep early on a cozy wool nap blanket were awakened by a loud roar in the distance.

I quickly stepped out of the plank bed to the window and looked at the illuminated sky in the distance.

"Ove, what's going on?"

I looked back at Liz, who was 16 years old like me and would be an adult in two years. Dozens of other children, who were not yet ten years old, got up from their beds with pillows in their arms and looked at me.

"It's okay, the explosion is far away from our tribe and won't affect us." I ran my tail along Liz's fried tail hair.

"Let's all go back to sleep, since the adults didn't inform us, there should be no problem." I said to the other children and carried them back to their beds one by one.

Early the next morning

We walked out of the wooden hut in the children's area and listened to the discussion of the adults around us.

Early in the morning, the scouts on the front line rushed back to the tribe overnight with the news.

The Kraken unilaterally tore up the peace treaty between the two clans and officially declared war on the Leopard Clan, and the front-line troops were not affected.

It was a relief for everyone, including us kids.

Liz and I, along with dozens of other children, were doing the same movements as the adults around us.

Cross your fingers with your fingers in front of your chest and close your eyes.

'Lord, pioneers, may the souls of the martyrs protect you. ’

We bless the frontline troops in the way the Lord taught.

Opening our eyes, we joined up with the minors in the other children's sections and headed to the largest cabins in the tribe, the Academy.

Halfway through, we passed through the livestock and farming area.

"Aunt Launa! How was this year's harvest? We shouted to Aunt Rauna, who was bending over in the fields.

"Oh! This year's harvest is still just as good! You have to study hard, little ghosts! Aunt Lawna looked up and greeted us with a smile, and Aunt Lawna, who was a half-leopard in her two hundreds, was still a big sister. Although we [imbeciles] are not accepted by any race, we still inherit the longevity advantage obtained from the mixed races of the major races.

We came to the technical area.

In a large wooden house, there are women weaving wool to make various clothes, men writing and drawing on drawings, some men doing small manual work, and some women and men are holding around and pointing to the drawings and discussing how to plan various plans for the new year.

All have their part to play.

"Kids! Come here to get new clothes! Someone called out to us in one of the cabins.

-The merciful Lord is called the God of Wisdom.

We [imbeciles] are inferior people born of the crossbreeding of different races, and the biggest difference from other races is that we have different color stripes growing on our faces that represent curses, which makes us ostracized by the major races; Because we are born of hybrids, we have the aura of mixing different races, so we are spurned by the major races; Because we are born of hybrids, our bodies are not recognized by the world from the depths of our souls, and we cannot even use magic, so we are banished; We were deported to the resource-poor continent of Zhinan, where we were crowded with the weakest humans, and the humans who were able to use magic were naturally dissatisfied, so they slaughtered us.

But when the Lord [came] to us, we were saved.

The Lord has given us wisdom to spread the knowledge of how clothes are made and how to treat them, so that we will no longer be bruised. The Lord teaches us to build houses, which makes us no longer subject to wind and rain; The Lord took us over the mountains to find the sweet potato, which made us no longer suffer from hunger all year round, the Lord did not hesitate to write down the knowledge and give us the means to spread it, so that we were no longer foolish, and the Lord used wisdom to create for us magic that even imbeciles could use, which made us cry with joy.

The Lord smiled and said to us, "If the world doesn't approve of you, I'll approve of you."

We picked up our new clothes and continued our journey.

Passing by the training area.

The sound of striking iron, shouting, and the sound of weapons fighting each other came and went.

Men and women train and fight in a large open space enclosed by a fence. It is because of them that we can live our lives in peace.

-The Lord is called the god of war and storms.

The Lord could not bear to see us slaughtered at will by other races, so He taught us to raise whatever weapons we could use.

The Lord has summoned natural disasters from heaven to send a true storm to our enemies; The Lord leads us like a storm through the surrounding battlefields, and the Lord always stands before all of them, holding the enemy in sight as far as we can without being hurt; The Lord fights side by side with us in a vulnerable posture and does not mind us holding us back.

The Lord smiled at us and said, "I walk with you."

Come to the school.

There is no age limit to the school, so it is common to see adults coming in and out.

I sat down in a row with Liz.

"Students, now open the book in front of you, today we are going to talk about the major historical events that caused the collision of all continents 20,000 years ago, which caused various races to compete for resources and officially started the war years......

I looked at Mr. Teach, a half-elf who was over 17,000 years old. He lived through the tragic times of the persecution of the Imbeciles, and he was also the first group to receive the blessing of the Lord.

But.

-The Lord is both real and incomplete.

I heard from the adults that when our tribe was still in the southern continent, a tragedy occurred, and it was that incident that made everyone truly realize that the Lord was not on high, but a Lord who could really be touched to "love" us.

At that time, there was a large human armed state around the tribe, and because the gap between us and the other side was still too big at that time, the Lord advocated the policy of friendly contact.

But when the envoy of the human country came, he saw a powerful [imbecile] tribe, and without saying a word, he launched a massacre, and at that time we resisted with all our strength, but dozens of children and adults were still killed, which was undoubtedly a painful blow to the tribe that was only a few hundred people at that time.

When the Lord learned the news from the front line and rushed back, he saw a stump and a severed arm in one place.

Jesus fell to his knees and wept without a word.

The Lord said hoarsely to us that they were the ones who should be protected, and that it was because of my wrong decisions that they were so dead.

-The Lord loves us.

The adults fought on the front line with the Lord to protect the people whom the Lord loved, but now the people who should have been protected were killed because of the Lord's wrong decision, and the Lord knelt in front of the severed arm and reflected for three days, and the Lord blamed himself, and the Lord was very angry.

The Lord did not allow all those who petitioned him to follow, and the Lord picked up his spear for war and went to the neighboring country alone.

Two days later.

With the military strength of single-handedly destroying a large human armed nation and the record of all the high-ranking people of that country, the Lord put the [imbecile] tribe on the desks of the high-ranking people of all races, and successfully gave them a disadvantage.

After that, the Lord led us all the way north to migrate and fight, and took in the [imbeciles] from other continents.

The Lord put away his smile and said to us, "Rebel against the world."

So, we followed in the footsteps of the Lord and migrated all the way to the central continent, where the resources are the richest and the largest battlefield.

"That is, 10,000 years ago, our Lord [came] ......"

I looked at the teacher on the podium and my thoughts were fluttering.

Suddenly, a scout barged in.

"Kids! The Lord and everyone are back from the front! The scout shouted without taking a breath.

When I heard what the scout said, I immediately stood up and rushed to the door of the school, but I didn't expect Mr. Teaching to run faster than me. Are you really an old man?

People cheered and ran towards the entrance and exit of the tribe, and everyone was washing the dust for the troops.

I looked out of the crowd at the dazzling silver-haired figure in the surrounded troops.

"My lord!"

I shouted excitedly.

One night, the Lord gathered all the children around a campfire.

Surrounded by hundreds of children, the Lord tells us about the hardships of the people in the past.

At the age of ten, Liz and I were both fascinated by the beautiful figure of the Lord telling the story.

I couldn't help but think.

Why did such a beautiful Lord choose to help us in such a filthy way?

I asked the Lord about my doubts.

The Lord said.

"Because the torch needs to be inherited."

Ah, I see.

It dawned on me.

Because the torch needs to be inherited, the Lord chose only to retaliate against other countries and not kill them all.

Because the torch needs to be inherited.

So the Lord took up the lamp to light the way forward and guide the people of the world in darkness and confusion.
