Even in the age when they were free to sail the universe, some pirates still used cold weapons, and they loved the tearing sensation of a piece of iron when they chopped flesh and bones, and the screams of their victims could make them excited.

However, the arrogant and domineering pirates of the past have now encountered hard stubble, whether it is a sword, axe, hammer full of electric energy, or a thermal weapon such as a laser cannon, they cannot touch the golden figure in the slightest.

"Damn it! What kind of magic is he doing? ”

The fish-man fired again, but the bullet was still blocked by the earthen wall rising in front of Azir's body.

Not only him, but everyone's attacks were the same, and there seemed to be an absolute defense around Azir's body, and the dust and dirt particles on the ground seemed to be born to protect him.

The crowd around erupted in cheers, they thought that they would see another unlucky ghost being chopped into meat sauce today, but they didn't expect this unlucky ghost to come to a wonderful counter-kill, which deserved their applause.

This group of people doesn't care who wins and who loses, it's just lively and good-looking.

Azir had no trouble dealing with those men, he didn't even have to strike himself, he didn't even have to summon the gravel soldiers, and with a few raises of his hand, he beat the pirates away from the earthen walls that had risen from the ground.

And the excitement is over, the group of people watching the excitement will naturally disperse, they continue to go to their own work, a large number of heavy objects are moved around, and the spaceship that has finally been parked and rested starts again, except for the pirates lying on the ground, the noise here is no different from just now.

Ike looked at the tall back in a daze, he had never seen such a powerful person, which reminded him of the rumored super soldiers of Kamigawa.

But the super soldier is a Kamigawa body, and the person who saved himself is obviously a beast body.

A fragrant breeze wafted into Ike's nose, and his red hair blocked his vision, and Ike couldn't see the tall golden figure.

Twilight leaned down and hugged Ike, "Are you alright, little Ike?" ”

"I'm fine, Ms. Twilight."

When he saw this red-haired woman, an idea subconsciously popped up in Ike's mind, that Golden Eagle was her thug, and it seemed that only Twilight Teacher could have this ability, and no one dared to mess with her in Zaun.

But when the red hair that covered the field of vision moved away, Ike was stunned, because the place where the golden beast body stood just now had now turned into a Kamigawa body, and ...... Something familiar.

When the man turned to walk this way, Ike lowered his head in shame, he stole his things, and he saved himself.

The man walked over and didn't do anything rough to Ike, nor did he ask for his necklace, but his first words made Ike's mood sink to the bottom:

"Is that all the people here? Or is that what Zuan is all about? It feels like a garbage dump to me. ”

Ike knew that he was talking about pirates, but he was also from Zuan, so he was also a little sad in his heart, listening to his tone and the outfit he was wearing, it should be a certain advanced civilization from the outside world, in their eyes, Zuan was indeed a garbage dump.

Ike didn't dare to look at him, because the stranger exuded a noble aura all the time, and every breath he took set off Zuan even more dirty, which made Ike feel even more inferior.

He thought about his stealing, even though it was a last resort...... But it seems that people born here in Zu'an just can't get along with the word "good".

"Their civilization has been destroyed, most of them have lost the meaning of life, but they are trying their best to survive, you shouldn't say they are rubbish." He hears Mr. Twilight say to a stranger.

The stranger said, "But I have only seen chaos, it is hard to imagine why such a place exists, and where there is no order, it should be destroyed very quickly, but it has existed for thousands of years and still retains its vitality, and this vitality is still getting stronger and stronger?" ”

Twilight said, "Order is often born out of chaos, and it's the same here, although it may seem like a mixed bag of water and sewage that makes you feel uncomfortable, but one day, when Zuan really ushers in its order, I believe it will be more wonderful than any civilization." ”

"Is that why you've been here? If it were me, it would be really hard to endure such an environment, where all kinds of decayed and degraded remnants of civilization were mixed together, like a mass grave. ”

"Although their civilization is destroyed, as long as they are alive, then they are the spark of their own civilization, these sparks from different places and all kinds of sparks collide with each other, swallow each other, and then merge, bursting out more brilliant sparks than before, maybe one day, will spark the prairie fire?"

Ike doesn't understand what they're saying, he just feels so tall, and although he doesn't understand, he always feels kind to Mr. Twilight's words.

Ms. Twilight rubbed her head as she spoke, "Maybe they didn't even notice that as the people who survived, it was their own civilization itself that drove them to struggle to survive here, not to die." ”

The stranger thought for a moment: "Are you raising Gu?" ”

Twilight was amused by him, "Haha, that seems to be pretty much what it means?" ”

The stranger asked again, "Then you are the Gu King?" ”

"I'm just the one who takes care of their growth." Twilight crouches down again and says softly to Ike, "Give that thing back to Big Brother, it's important to him." ”

Ike looked up and saw that the stranger was also looking at him, so he hurriedly pulled out the necklace of Uru alloy and handed it over: "Yes...... I'm sorry! ”

Azir took the necklace and looked at Ike for a moment, not saying anything, just nodding.

At this time, the pig-headed man who was the first to be thrown away had staggered to his feet, and he was about to resist, but when he saw his accomplices all over the ground, his legs weakened with fright.

Ike saw that Azir walked over and said something to them, and the pig-headed man waved his hand in horror, as if refusing, but after being beaten again, he tearfully invited Azir to the ship.

After that, the ship took off, and all the pirates on the ground were taken away by him.

Ike was stunned from beginning to end, he was shocked by the strength of the stranger of the superior civilization, and also looked forward to the trajectory of the meteor when the spaceship broke through the sky, for many years Ike has watched the spaceship rise and fall like this, and he will also think, what is the outside world like?

On the way back, Ike can't help but ask Twilight, "Are all the people of the superior civilization so powerful?" ”

"Superior civilization? Azir? Twilight was puzzled for a moment, "No, no, no, he's not a superior civilization, and those who claim to be superior civilizations don't even bother to come to a place like ours, and the technological level of the Azir world is a lot behind us." ”

"How could it be ?!!" Ike was in disbelief.

Fortunately, Mr. Twilight knows everything, and he learns from Mr. Twilight that Azir is from a planet called Shurima, which is full of yellow sand and lacks resources, and even space-level civilization cannot reach it.

However, such a man lived alone in Kamigawa for twenty years, and at first, he was looked down upon, even discriminated against and beaten, but Azir gritted his teeth and persevered, he looked up at the stars countless times, looked for directions to his home, and then continued to live with loneliness.

Just for a belief in his heart, so that his original outdated and despised civilization can bloom the most brilliant flowers in the universe.

He was a genuine man from a lower civilization that was even more backward than Zu'an, but with his unremitting perseverance, he became the best student of Kamigawa Academy that year, making the most intelligent scientific masters all have blue eyes.

But when he graduated, the project he created was harassed in every way, and some people even killed him, but Azir still fought with the will to die, and he gained strength from the sun, and he succeeded.

And now, he's going back and leading his world to rise.

For the next few days, Azir's figure lingered in Ike's mind, and he always wanted to see him again and see what kind of person he was.

However, Azir never appeared again.

Ike worked harder, and the extra jobs he found made him more tired, but he also made more money, and although it didn't make him and his mother have a better life, he didn't have to worry about his mother's medicine anymore.

Ike also devoted himself more to the development of the float skateboard project, and the joy of this quickly washed away the fatigue caused by the work, and he no longer thought about stealing and the like.

At the same time, he also improved the space-time regression device, and although the side effects were still there, Ike's body was more able to withstand it.

Soon after, an anecdote spread throughout Zu'an that the red-haired man's Ulu metal mine had been robbed, and it was done by one person.

I heard that the hundreds of pirates equipped with high-quality weapons did not stop him, and I don't know what kind of black technology that person used, and the entire mine was emptied.

Now the entire pirate group is looking for someone all over the universe to take revenge!

But let them do whatever they could, the beast-man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without a trace.

Ike was happy because it sounded like Azir.

No! That's Azil!

Someone can finally take care of these goddamn red-haired pirates!

Good things happen one after another, and Ike's first float board enters the experimental stage, and he runs excitedly to the open field with a bunch of his friends to prepare for the liftoff experiment.

The overall shape of the float is like a snowboard, but with a turbine device and rocket thruster added to the end, and the first phase of the float experiment was a success, and Ike stepped on it, and the skateboard easily levitated in mid-air.

Now everyone is holding their breath to see if it can fly as theoretically.

The result was pleasing as Ike steadied himself and flew smoothly, his laughter making a fish-like trajectory in midair.

Adults are not interested in this kind of thing, at most it is a pastime, so from the beginning, Ike positioned the floating skateboard as a child's toy, and the experimental place he deliberately chose is also a place where children often play.

It's no surprise that his float skateboard has gained traction, and the little ghosts who do nothing all day are so interested in it, and now it's just a matter of getting into mass production.

On the way home, Ike kept a smile on his face, maybe his life with his mother would really get better and better, and this was not obtained by watching the dirty methods of stealing and robbing, he obtained it by his own skills.

But when he got home, he found the house in shambles, and his mother was being held to the neck with a knife, and a dozen people were blocked in the house just to wait for him to come home.

Ike knows these people, they're those pirates from the other days!

They grabbed Ike and beat him severely, just to get the whereabouts of Azir from him, because Azir had saved him at their hands, so they concluded that the two must have known each other.

And Ms. Twilight, who used to stay with Azir, they don't dare to mess with it, so they want to target Ike.

Lying on the ground and dying, Ike only heard his mother's cry, and at this time his thoughts were also a little biased towards the words he often heard on weekdays, alas, why does this kind of thing always happen when he has made up his mind to be a person who eats with his own hands.

He watched in confusion as the pirates smashed their floating skateboards, perhaps the Zaun were destined to be this kind of violent and chaotic scrap, and it was no wonder that this place would become a dumping ground for everyone in the universe......

The pirates' insulting saliva dripped down Ike's face, and he had to tell him where Azir was, and his mother's cries had turned into violent coughs.

Ike learns from Mr. Twilight that Azir is from Shurima, a low-level civilization that can't even sail the universe, and if these pirates get to Shurima, will there be a massacre? How many lives will be lost in their wrath?

Azir was a stranger to Ike, but he just didn't want to tell the pirates that he remembered what Mr. Twilight had said that Azir had been through, and he couldn't help but envy it, and that it was nice to have a civilization that he could give everything to, even if it was only a low-level civilization.

Ike's consciousness became more and more blurred, and the faces of those pirates became more and more ugly, and they became monsters with teeth and claws, and Ike thought, if he grew up like this, then he would not want to die!

Suddenly, he touched one thing after another, it was his pocket watch, and the pirates were desperate to know Azir's whereabouts, and they ignored their own time-travel device.

With a slam press, Ike returned to the position where he entered the door, and he had adjusted the backtracking time and location before, and his injuries were all healed.

Before the pirates could react, Ike pulled out a stick from the broken door and slammed it at the pirate who had just crushed him.

Then he jumped onto the float skateboard that had been thrown aside - the quality of the thing was beyond Ike's expectations, and it was not damaged by the pirates' crazy ravage, but only scratched by the rubbing.

The pirates screamed and pounced on Ike, but Ike was too nimble when he jumped on the floating skateboard, and the pirates were now embarrassed, and they would be hit with a stick at some point, and soon they would all have blue noses and swollen faces, and flee in a hurry.

The pirates were covered with nosebleeds and teeth that had been beaten out.

"Stinky boy, you wait with me!"

The last man lying on the ground had been beaten into a pig's head like a companion, and he was about to speak harshly before he ran away.

Ike jumped off the float skateboard, and the vertigo hit again, but he stood with his body bracing because he didn't want to kneel.

In Ike's blurred vision, the staggering figures of the pirates had turned into the corner, and at this time the neighbors who were squatting at home dared to come out to see the situation, and they looked at the thin, small, malnourished little child in disbelief.

This ten-year-old kid has beaten off a dozen pirates!

It's still on his own!

After confirming that the pirate was really far away, Ike dared to relax, he could no longer support the collapse, and his mother hurriedly ran over to hug his unconscious son, her eyes full of distress and, of course, pride.

The emaciated woman hid her face and wept, tears dripping on Ike's face to bring him back to his senses, but when he opened his eyes, his face was full of horror.

Because he saw the pirates who had already fled reappeared on the street corner, they were carrying a cannon at this place, and the sound of energy filling was extremely harsh, and he had no strength!

They're going to blow it to the ground, and everyone will be spared!

With a bang, the energy beam gushed out, and the residents who had not had time to react were frightened by the loud noise and exclaimed, but it was too late, and the energy beam engulfed everything that Ike could see.

It's just suddenly—

The figure shone in like the sun, and it was a light that Zu'an had never had.

Ike couldn't help asking, "Are you a god?" ”

"No, child, I'm just a mortal who refuses to succumb to fate."

The voice was majestic, but not aggressive.

Azir used his body to block the pirates' attacks. Then, with a single lift of his hand, the earthen wall rising in the distance sent the pirates flying into the sky, flashing like stars and vanishing.

Azir's tall body walked through the broken ruins, and he found a skateboard from inside, holding it in his hand and looking left and right: "I find it hard to believe that a child who is only ten years old can make this technique. ”

Twilight appeared beside Ike at some point, "Not everyone can live as immortal as the people of Kamigawa, and the younger generation will always be the future of a civilization." ”

Azir regained his human form, and he walked up to Ike and his mother, and smiled kindly, "Son, I can see that you have a great talent, your space-time regression device is very advanced, if I say I can help you, would you like to go back with me?" ”

Ike looked at him stunned.

His mother was surprised when she heard Azir's words, and asked happily, "Sir, what did you say......?" Is it true? ”

"Yes, ma'am, I come from a planet called Shurima, but it is now only a world that has not even reached the level of space-level civilization, if you don't dislike it, please let your son go back with me?"

"If you don't dislike it, how can you dislike it?"

Ike's mother cried with joy, no matter where she was, as long as she could get her son to leave Zuan, what was wrong?

Azir looked at Ike again, knowing that he had to listen to his own opinion on this matter.

"I'm sorry......" Ike whispered.

"Why?" Azir was puzzled.

Ike didn't dare to look at Azir, he said a little shyly, "Because ...... This is my home, I was born here...... This is my civilization......"

Zuan may never be able to usher in a brilliant starry sky, because it is surrounded by a cemetery of stars, there is no sun, there is no light, if you look up at night, you can only see the faint and sparse fireflies cast by distant galaxies, that light is insignificant, no one cares, and it does not illuminate Zuan.

But life always yearns for the light, although the people here are the remnants of a festering civilization, losing the direction of their hearts, scolding and scolding the injustice of fate every day, and then continuing to wait for death, but even those disgusting pirates will raise their heads when they are alone, hoping to see the dim light that belongs to them in the dark and cold night.

A faint firefly is also light, isn't it?

Azir said he wasn't a god, he was just a mortal, but he had the glow of the sun on his body, the brightest Ike had ever seen in his life, and not even the rotting wind of Zaun could extinguish it.

Without the knowledge of Kamigawa here, Ike would not be able to go to Kamigawa Academy, he envied Azir and longed for the outside world, but he would not leave Zaun, just like Azir would not leave Shurima.

What if you light a torch in the dark?

Ike thought.

Maybe one torch after another will be lit, right?

Azir was rejected, but he didn't leave immediately, and in the next few days he helped Ike improve his float skateboarding project, and the two of them also exchanged their skills with each other, and Ike generously told Azir about his time and space rewind technology, and he also offered his own suggestions for improvement in return.

At parting, Ike and Twilight bid farewell to Azir, the golden spaceship made Ike look straight in the eyes, so beautiful, and its ascension was like a sunrise, making it impossible to take your eyes off.

Azir left, and when the curvature engine kicked in, all that was left in the sky of Zaun was a golden scratch.

Ike was still staring at it in a daze, and he was imagining the wonderful scene of the outside world again.

"Don't be envious, Ike."

Twilight rubbed his head and smiled,

"Maybe one day, Zaun will also raise his own sun."
