The dates on the calendar passed as Alice waited for the scarecrow day after day, crossing out the past days and throwing several used calendars on the table.

The year 1882 has long passed, and now it is the beginning of 1900.

But this morning, Alice finally saw something different—though not good news.

After picking up the newspaper and slamming into the front page, she wiped her eyes in disbelief and said, "What is this?" ”

All the newspapers across the continent were running the exact same front page, and an unidentified creature more than a kilometer long suddenly descended on the sky above the royal city, and it was reported that it was still in a dead state and had not yet awakened.

A snapshot of the cloud monster was published next to the front page, like a towering strange cloud, lying lazily in the sky of the royal city.

Alice immediately picked up the pager on the table and dialed the call line to Messiah.

"Hello, Utopia Enterprises."

The voice on the other side of the call was not May, but Elsa, and Alice asked Abel, "Where did May go?" ”

'She went out very early this morning, as if we were going to have a temporary truce with Wales.'

Alice rubbed her temples in annoyance: "May told me, you and Elsa went to the academy in Wangcheng to study two years ago, right, did you read the newspaper, hurry back to the mess, Wangcheng is not safe." ”

"That thing in the sky is also the main reason for the truce, I think if this thing wakes up, there is no difference between returning to the Messiah and continuing to stay in the royal city."

Abel's voice looked very helpless, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Aisha next to him, Aisha, who was only a teenager who skipped the academy and was known as a genius girl: "Aunt Alice wants us to go back to the mess." ”

Aisha didn't reply, she took care of herself and packed the heavy extraordinary school books into her bag, and then went straight out the door and continued to the academy.

This sister has had an eccentric personality since the disappearance of her father, Francis, and no one can now understand exactly what is going on in the girl's head.

And the seven children, in the eight years of burning war, are now only two of them.

Mei often blames herself for perhaps using iron-blooded means to control the situation in the Western Continent alone, but she did not protect her six children.

Abel followed out and caught up with Aisha, who was about to take the airship, and the two sat in adjacent seats, but they couldn't talk a word.

He tried to find some topics, but got used to Elsa's silence: "You applied for access to the Academy's forbidden study room earlier, right?" ”

“...”

One is that as an elder brother, he worked hard to learn extraordinary knowledge, but the result was only the penultimate place in the academy where the steam machine was turned upside down.

Another sister who shines like a diamond, the professors of the academy say that Aisha is the most gifted person to adapt to extraordinary powers in the last hundred years.

Entering the council chambers of the royal city and listening to the teachings of the Black Temple are just around the corner.

But May adheres to the messianic family tradition: "It is forbidden to have too much contact with the church." ”

Francis also said that people in his own family should not be exposed to extraordinary powers, but May believes that by practicing the relevant knowledge, she can have a more reasonable judgment.

It is an absolute offense to drink potions only for practice.

Able looked at the sleeping cloud monster in the sky in the airship and said, "Will we have the honor of witnessing the end of humanity?" At the same time, he thought to himself which was more powerful Elizabeth or this troll.

Aisha on the side held the bag, and responded to her brother's words with an indifferent but extremely rare expression: "No." ”

Seeing this, Abel laughed, it seems that Aisha is in a 'very good mood' today, and she can even bite out two words and throw them to herself.

When they arrived at the Sky Tower, the Imperial Academy in the royal city, the crowd was also looking up at 'it' sleeping in the sky.

In addition, all the students in this period of Abel, today's original arrangement has been temporarily changed to the same course, exploring the origin and nature of monsters.

But before he walked into the classroom, his professor was holding a transcript in one hand and looking at him with an angry face: "Abel Messiah, how do you explain this potion blending score that only idiots can't qualify?" I remember that Madam Mei was a very good potion blender thirteen years ago, and you made me so angry. ”

Abel touched his head in embarrassment, indicating that he didn't want to learn, but he probably wouldn't be this material.

Aisha had just arrived outside the class at this time, and took a look at the situation in front of her, Abel was leaning against the wall of the corridor, looking down to listen to Professor William's reprimand.

Suddenly, as if he had lost the strength to speak, William's voice narrowed without warning, and he said softly: "But it's already this time, what's the point of me being so strict with you." ”

He was referring to the thing in the sky.

At first, people thought that the Black Temple only needed to wave his hand lightly, and this earth-shattering crisis would dissipate like a cloud of smoke, no different from the previous thousands of times.

But the dark temple was silent, the church closed every church, and the world anxiously pulled the doors, only to get the nuns and priests to advise them to go home early.

"It'll be all right, sir, for God loves the world."

It turned out that it would only take less than twenty-four hours for the human race to collectively sink into the panic in the bottom of their hearts.

But some people feel that only the royal city is finished, and the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, which is also vividly reflected.

Aisha turned her head, looked at Professor William, and said lightly, "Let him go, Professor William, my brother is obviously more suitable to be a mechanic." ”

William handed Abel's report card to Aisha and said to himself: "I may not be able to see May before the world is destroyed, and you tell him for me that I failed to teach Abel well, because my ability is really insufficient." ”

With that, Professor William lost all his energy, just told them that the next lesson was important, remember to listen well, and left the place without saying a word.

Aisha will definitely tell Sister Mei the truth, Abel walked into the class ashamedly, he asked the best pharmacist professor in the academy to 'bow down', which was too embarrassing for Sister Mei.

He silently found a seat in the last row and sat down, and tacitly gave up the only empty seat in the front row to Elsa.

Aisha sat in the front row, glanced at her brother secretly, and thought to herself, only Abel has never changed.

May is embroiled in heavy corporate affairs and war, and Aunt Alice moves her dream shop to Hillen, putting the witch on hold entirely. Uncle Solomon was an alcoholic, and he rarely had a sane time.

As for Mayor David, he is still paranoid about chasing hunters who have a vendetta against killing his wife, and the changes are no small.

Only Abel is still the bravest young man ever, and an incomparably competent brother.

"Good morning, Abel, we can witness the end of the world together."

Aisha saw someone talking to Abel, and withdrew her gaze, waiting for the cliché of this so-called important lesson.

"There will be no end times."

"How do you know?"

Abel shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Because Elsa said so, she knows everything, is it possible that you think you are smarter than Elsa." ”

His friend laughed when he saw this, and then joked: "Yes, yes, no one is smarter than your sister Elsa, but I at least passed the potion blending course." ”

Abel couldn't refute it for a while when he heard this, and after a hum, he picked up the potion and mixed the book and began to scratch his head by rote, completely ignoring the apocalyptic crisis hanging over the heads of humans in the sky outside, and only worried about whether he could succeed in the make-up exam.

At this moment, the professor of the monster exploration course noticed that Abel had not listened to the lecture at all, lowered his footsteps and walked to him, confiscated his book, and said: "Just like our Abel classmate, if you don't take death seriously, death will take care of you!" ”

"Stand up, Abel Messiah."

After watching Able stand up with an embarrassed expression, the professor continued, "Humanity is very divided when it comes to the end-of-life crisis. ”

"It seems that Abel has created a new branch of opinion, that is, if you don't see the 'it' in the sky, you are going to use this thing to feed it to visitors from outside the world."

"I remember that your father was Francis, he was not like you, I heard that he once arrived in the ruins of Thebea, fought the demigods in the Norman principality, and captured the pianist Armand. His attitude of fighting against the old gods is what I want to convey, so what about you, Abel, can you absorb your father's qualities! ”

Later, Abel was angrily kicked out by the professor, claiming that he had insulted the surname Messiah.

He stood outside the hallway and began to look at the end of the hallway, but to his surprise, Alice had arrived through the illusion door.

She stepped forward, looked at Abel who was alone in the hallway, and asked in disbelief, "What bad things have you done?" ”

After all, Abel has nothing to do with causing trouble in everyone's impressions, so Abel told Alice the ins and outs of the future.

Alice pressed Abel's shoulder and said softly, "What the professor said is completely wrong, you are a proud young man, and you will also choose to fight against the old gods, just like Francis." ”

Just then, the class ended, and Elsa found them in the crowd as they were talking.

Abel blamed himself for not knowing anything about extraordinary knowledge, and Alice comforted him disapprovingly: "What's the matter, the Messianic family didn't touch the extraordinary power in the first place. ”

Instead of being surprised by Alice's arrival, she stepped forward and indifferently retorted Alice's initial words: "It was my father's attitude of rebellion and disgust with the Old Gods that eventually led him to be trapped in the Gustav by the Boundary Breaker, facing the cycle of death all day long. ”

Alice was surprised for a moment, and then said to Elsa in a very amused way, "Yo, when did our daughter start thinking like that?" ”

It seems that in her absence, May not only lost six children, but also did not notice the change in Elsa.

Alice begins to have a hunch that Elsa will not grow up the way Francis intended.
