67. Landmarks of the road
Galactic Era, January 15, 221
Azure Star, Red Arrow Empire, Elga City, Elga Coast.
As the southernmost city of the Empire, Elga was a rising star, and in 154 the Imperial army liberated the city and drove the Frost Platers across the Channel.
From then on, Frost Plating had no chance to compete with the Red Arrow, and was separated by natural danger, and no longer had the ability to pose a threat to the Red Arrow Capital.
For the empire's aggressive expansion model, the war did not achieve its goal, and the occupation of some cities was called liberation, and the destruction of the country was called conquest.
In addition to being militarily across the sea from Frost Plating and being able to bomb Frost Plating with cannons, Elga, the southernmost part of the empire, may have made the greatest contribution to the Red Arrows team by changing the lyrics of the Red Arrows' national anthem, and then there was nothing particularly well-known about it.
The reason is simple, Elga has few resources to speak of. It is surrounded by mountains and is not suitable for transportation development, and the blue star has no ocean, and it is impossible to develop a port.
But as a small city with a population of only 700,000, Elga actually has two universities, which is the construction of the frost plating period.
The Empire's attitude towards this area was average, and due to the large number of frost-plated people here, they first established an autonomous state, giving the natives a high degree of autonomy.
However, despite being nominally the territory of the Red Arrows, there is a severe lack of industry and business, and to this day, 67% of the population of the city of Elga is agricultural, and the low social security of the Red Arrows has left this group in a state of unrest and poverty.
Leisure, laziness, backwardness, is a true portrayal of Elga.
No one would ask what news there was in the city, and even on the Internet, few people would know that there was such an inconspicuous little city in the southernmost part of the empire.
Yet all of this is changing forever today.
Cardin Frich, 34, is a modest farmer in Elga. It was never a happy thing to be a peasant on the borders of the empire, where the land itself was not too fertile, there was no capitalized group operation, and the crops were not further processed by food factories and could only be sold at very low prices.
"Good morning, another bad morning."
The lonely Cardin was not optimistic about his job, and then he would drive a tractor, haul haystacks, and on his way to the city to make deliveries, eating coarse salt biscuits and cheap wheat soda, and he could wander around the city for an hour but only an hour before returning to the farm and getting back to work.
This life is like a day every year, nothing changes, it will never change.
The farm helpers didn't know where they had gone, and at this point they were supposed to start working, Cardin walked around, but didn't see anyone. He opened his personal terminal, but it showed no signal.
"Damn the operator, I knew their newly installed base station was unreliable!"
Cardin has no choice but to do anything about it, without the internet, the work will only become more boring, and for the highly mechanized Red Arrow farm, whether it is a drone spraying pesticides or an automated farm tool, it needs to be connected to the network to use.
The Red Arrow Empire's high reliance on mechanized technology has indeed benefited the vast majority of people, but it is not very friendly to these remote areas.
Fortunately, Cardin didn't care about working with his own hands, he was going to drive the tractor out to the market to buy breakfast first, and just went to the area with a signal to contact the manufacturer to come over for maintenance, which was too unreasonable, and the equipment that he bought back for a few days could not be used.
The cold glow of the artificial sun fell on his shoulders, and he pushed open the door as always, and the warehouse was as bright as a palace, and he lowered his head, habitually sat on the tractor, and was about to go to the farmland, when he suddenly realized something.
- He didn't even turn on the lights, why is there a room in the warehouse?
Cardin turned his head slowly, and a huge white stone tablet rose from the ground, piercing the ceiling of the warehouse, and the beautiful and mysterious patterns on it were slowly escaping a pale golden light. The golden light is like a broken feather, scattered in the air, different from the Tyndall effect, this gorgeous and magnificent magical landscape gives people a sense of delicacy and delicacy, gentleness and freshness, and full of intimacy.
Cardin, the old farmer, grew his mouth and looked at what was in front of him in disbelief.
Compared to the hole in his own warehouse, he was even more surprised by the change brought about by the holy stone tabletβthe land near it was being purified inch by inch by golden feather-like flakes of light, turning into crystal crystal.
He unconsciously leaned towards the white obelisk, and in the dark, he felt that he would not be harmed, and even thought that this strange and mysterious wonder would bring him a different change.
Cardin stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and touched the obelisk.
You made the right choice. γ
"Who?! Who's talking? A voice suddenly sounded in his heart, and Cardin was startled.
Close your eyes and listen quietly. γ
Cardin was skeptical, he fully suspected that it was the work of the stele in front of him, but at the moment he had no good intentions.
Compared with contacting the military, police, and special organs of the empire, he felt that this was an opportunity given to him by God, since it appeared in his own countryside, it was his own property, and how to dispose of it was also his own business.
Is it really a sacred relic of the gods? β
Cardin thought to himself.
Although the Red Arrow Empire has powerful technology, it has loose restrictions on religious beliefs, and almost all the people have their own beliefs, and Cardin, as an honest farmer, is no exception, he grabbed the pendant around his neck and prayed silently before continuing to press on the stone tablet, close his eyes, and feel it quietly.
[Before the starry sky was gone, the chaos had not yet opened, and the star abyss had been born, it sensed the arrival of the Destroyer, and recruited six creators from the primordial universe. They are in charge of destruction, art, domination, redemption, plunder, and strange powers, and the times have changed, and now most of the Creators have died, but their path to God has survived forever......]
[What is displayed in front of you is the path opened up by the current successor of [Domination], Li Oz. γ
A true path to Godhood. γ
The next moment, Cardin felt an invisible and warm power surging from the stone tablet, deep into his nerves and veins, from the ends all the way to the top of his skull, hearty and happy, his body temperature rose a little, but he became more energetic.
I have given you a small gift as a reward for your willingness to listen to the teachings. γ
Cardin took a few steps back, and he faintly felt something, an unknown power spreading within him. He looked at the Nurman tractor in the distance, 5.4 meters tall and weighing 10.9 tons, a bulky and wild monster.
Cardin raised his hand, his eyes lit up with a golden halo, and he gently hooked it towards the other party.
The heavy tractor immediately floated lightly, and not only the tractor, but also all objects within a radius of five meters with him as the center, and even himself, floated, as if he was in the universe at once.
Cardin waved his palms at will, and the weights in this area were as he thought, floating and sinking at will, he could hold up the tractor with his bare hands, and he could also make a feather heavier than iron, this kind of power and way of releasing it was not unfamiliar to Cardin under the popularization of imperial education.
Ao Neng.
Cardin was convinced that he had mastered a supernatural ability called Ao Neng.
The thirty-four-year-old farmer played for a long time until he flew himself into the air, and then fell down in fright.
Cardin collapsed on the hay and looked up at the ruined ceiling, stunned for a few minutes.
Then, he laughed silly.
Even if he is just an ordinary farmer, he will clearly realize that the city of Elga will change greatly from now on.
