Chapter 1: Advent
There was a soft "snap", and a branch was easily broken, and it was neat.
"This is the last one, and it's finally done. A teenager put it into a bundle of branches, expertly tied all the branches together with hemp rope, carried it on his back, and set out on the journey home along a winding path.
The boy was tall and a little thin, but he had a strong hair.
After walking for a while, the young man looked back and saw a forest where he had just collected firewood on the outskirts of the woods.
"It's really big! If only one day we could walk through it and reach the other side of the "sea of trees." ”
The boy sighed with emotion and continued to walk home.
The woods have a magnificent name - "Sea of Trees". If you look at it from above, the forest really looks like the sea.
The boy's name is Lu Ming, a child in a nearby mountain village, his father is a hunter, he learned to hunt with his father since he was a child, and he has developed a hunting skill.
Three years ago, his father was injured while hunting, resulting in the disability of both legs, and since then Lu Ming has taken on the burden of supporting his family alone. Lu Ming is already seventeen years old, and when he was fourteen years old, he began to go alone to the outside of the tree to hunt some small animals and collect some firewood, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Mother, I'm back. Lu Ming came to the house, put down the firewood, and pushed the door into the house.
"Tired, aren't you? ”
Lu Ming's mother is called Sun Caifei, in her thirties, and she was a famous beauty within a radius of ten miles.
Although her skin is a little rough due to years of wind and sun, it still can't hide her beauty. dragged her blessing, Lu Ming was very handsome, and with a pair of sharp eyes trained by hunting all year round, Lu Ming became the object of admiration of many girls in the village.
Sun Caifei was born beautiful, correspondingly, but her body was a little thin, so she could only do some housework, but there was no way to support her family, watching the child start hunting in the forest alone at the age of fourteen, I don't know how distressed I was.
When he saw his son coming back from collecting firewood, he hurriedly came out of the back room and poured a bowl of water for his son.
"Mother, I'm not tired, I'm just going to collect firewood. After Lu Ming finished speaking, he picked up the bowl of water on the table and drank it all, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve after drinking.
"I'll go see my dad in the back room. Lu Ming strode into the back room.
Sun Caifei shook her head when she looked at her son's anxious appearance, thinking that she was really like his father.
With a happy smile on her face, there's nothing more enjoyable than watching her own children grow up.
The inner room is not big, there is only a double bed, wardrobe and a few chairs, Lu Ming's father Lu Yu is lying on the bed, looking at the roof, with a sadness in his eyes.
"Dad!" Lu Ming said hello, and found a chair closest to the bed and sat down, "I'm coming back from chopping wood!When will you allow me to go into the depths of the 'Sea of Trees' to hunt?"
Lu Yu's eyes widened after hearing this, and he snorted angrily: "How old are you, don't you know that the beasts inside are dangerous?"
"But I can't make a lot of money just by selling firewood, and I have to spend money on medicine, so I don't have much money left at home..."
Lu Yu's gaze became complicated, "That's not good, you're still so young...", but his tone was already much weaker.
"Dad, I'm going to see Xiao Hei and practice the spirit beast technique. Lu Ming said hello to Lu Yu on the bed, got up and closed the door and left.
Xiao Hei was an ordinary black-haired earth dog, lying under a simple shack, and when he heard Lu Ming's voice, he quickly got up and wagged his tail.
Even his tongue sticks out of his mouth, revealing a smile that only his own kind understands, and he is indescribably stupid.
Lu Ming walked in front of Xiao Hei, stroked Xiao Hei's forehead with his right hand, moved slowly, and then began to cast the spirit beast trick.
Spirit beast trick is a spell that allows humans to communicate with beasts, increase the affinity of beasts, and even control beasts.
But Lu Ming has only cultivated to the elementary level, and this time he still only got some simple emotional feedback, which was from Xiao Hei's "excitement" and "infatuation".
Lu Ming was a little disappointed, of course he knew the reason why the spirit beast trick couldn't be promoted. If you can't use the Spirit Beast Trick on the Spirit Beast, this spell will never be promoted.
But dogs are already the smartest beasts that Lu Ming can come into contact with outside of spirit beasts, even tigers are no exception.
If you want to get in touch with spirit beasts, Lu Ming knows two methods.
One is to go to the depths of the "Sea of Trees", where there are spirit beasts that open their minds, but those spirit beasts all have great strength, and it will be dangerous to approach them rashly.
The other is to buy directly, and the auction house in the county will appear from time to time to be auctioned spirit beasts, which have been caught by the strong and tamed through special spells, but the price is expensive.
Thinking of these two unfeasible methods, Lu Ming shook his head slightly, patted Xiao Hei's head, and turned to leave.
It was summer, and the scorching heat of the daytime and the boredom caused by the incessant chirping of the trees seemed to be gently erased by the cold moon and quiet vegetation at night.
The occasional croaking of frogs in the pond or two brought a little fun to the quiet evening.
Lu Ming lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly, most of the young people were simple and pure, without too many concerns.
At this moment, black lines suddenly appeared in the sky above Lu Ming's house, and suddenly appeared in the air, as if a crack appeared in the curtain called "sky".
Then there are more and more black lines, gradually thickening, and black currents appear around it, and the center slowly turns into a black hole, constantly changing between contraction and expansion, which is extremely unstable.
A black stone-like object slowly poked out, exposed to the air, and then stopped there, as if searching for something.
The black thing also contracted and expanded over time, like the human heart.
The black thing shook suddenly, and then retracted back into the black hole, and as the black hole quickly fell downward, the direction of the fall turned out to be where Lu Ming was.
The black hole was unimaginably fast, and it didn't stop at the roof until it reached the roof, and it fell like this, and the strange thing is that the house did not change in the slightest.
Then a flash of light flashed, and the village returned to its original quiet and normal, as if nothing had happened.
But it did happen, because Lu Ming, who was lying on the bed, was gone!
...
In the southernmost part of the continent of Fira there is a castle, and there is only one person in the huge castle - the owner of this castle.
Not even the most faithful servants could enter.
On the top floor of the castle, there is a chair at the top of the hall, the chair is red and gray, as if it was made of unknown metal as a whole, and every section and pattern on it shows strength and authority.
Sitting on the chair was a young girl who looked to be in her twenties.
The long crimson hair with a shawl hanging down, a black knot tied at the neckline, and a particularly high chest under the white blouse, were gifts that did not match the young face of the girl.
The girl put her hands on the chair, her head tilted down slightly, as if looking down, but her eyes were closed.
When the strength is strong to a certain extent, there is no need to rest through sleep.
Suddenly, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, which were a pair of red eyes similar to the color of her hair, but the color was lighter, but more profound.
Her eyes were full of shock, and she exclaimed, "Beria?!! how is this possible!"
The girl got up suddenly, wanting to do something but stopped, her good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Passionate about the holy mountain of the continent? ”
As if in response to the girl's words, a golden sword that radiated divine light appeared in the void, a smooth palm rested on the hilt, and the green fingers were gently closed.
Then the girl's whole body was covered with golden light, and as the light gradually faded, a set of full-body armor appeared in the field of vision. The white armor is covered with intricate dark gold patterns, and every part of it exudes brilliance.
The girl's eyes became firm, and a pale golden magic array appeared under her feet, and the girl disappeared in front of her in an instant.
In the northern part of the Gru Empire, where it meets the Duchy of Posayi, there is a city called the City of the Earth.
It is said to be the center of the Continent of Passion, where the goddess of the earth first descended, and there are countless legends in the city.
The city of the earth is nestled at the foot of a mountain called the Holy Mountain, on which are the devotees of the goddess of the earth, and the leader of these people is called the Sage of the Earth.
The countries on the Ardent Continent are constantly changing, but this city, this sacred mountain, has never changed.
Eren is the sage of the earth in the world, an old man with gray hair.
With kind eyebrows and kind eyes, he always has a smile on his face, and he looks relaxed and relaxed in a loose gray linen dress.
Alan sat cross-legged on the stone platform outside the pavilion, facing the flowers and plants in the back garden in a daze.
He has been a sage for thirty years, and the trivial matters of the holy mountain have long been distracted, so he is very idle.
Just as Alan was indulging in the decay and growth of a flower and a grass, a living figure suddenly appeared three meters above the garden and then fell.
All this was beyond Allen's imagination, and he seemed to feel a trace of spatial power that was difficult to grasp, so he didn't even think to catch the person before he fell, but he was always in shock and couldn't recover.
With a "bang", the man fell directly into the flowers.
The person who suddenly appeared was Lu Ming, and even the saliva in the corner of his mouth was his original appearance. In this way, he came to this strange world completely and completely.
Lu Ming lay there and didn't wake up, and he didn't know when he would wake up.
Alan looked at the young man who had suddenly appeared in amazement, and his mental power probed every part of his body, including the saliva.
For a while, Alan didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Allen's momentum suddenly changed, as if he was facing a great enemy, and a pitch-black long sword appeared in his hand, which seemed ordinary but was actually introverted.
"Sky City's teleportation array?!"
In response to Allen's exclamation, a pale golden magic array suddenly appeared not far in front of him, and a red-haired girl with a sword and armor poked out of the light.
The girl didn't look at Alan for the first time, but set her eyes on Lu Ming among the flowers.
Alan was even more surprised, "Sky City's archangel Lord Cyra?!"
"Hmph, I don't belong to Sky City anymore!" Cyra turned her head to look at Allen, and then turned her gaze to the sleeping Lu Ming.
Alan looked a little embarrassed, "Ahem, is it the old Alan who was negligent, I don't know if Lord Cyra is here to do anything with you?"
Although the two did not clash excessively, their respective hands holding swords did not relax at all, especially Allen, whose eyes were full of jealousy when he looked at the golden long sword.
"I'm going to take him. There was an unmistakable attitude in Cyra's words, which was the usual tone of those who had been in power for many years.
"Take him, of course... Wait!" A look of shock appeared on Alan's face, even more than seeing Cyra on this holy mountain.
"You can't take him, Lord Cyrah. Allen's tone was calm and resolute, and he didn't even look at Cyra, he kept looking at the young man among the flowers in surprise, and a little cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Cyra finally moved her gaze to Allen, her eyes full of disdain, "Little one, you dare to refuse me?"
Alan was not surprised by the title "little one", and there was a more resolute tone in his tone.
"Lord Cyra, not to mention whether you can take this young man away from my holy mountain, once you start to bring out the strong men of the Gru Empire and the Duchy of Bosai, it is still a question whether you can go back. ”
A hint of anger finally appeared on Cyra's face, "You dare to threaten me?!"
"Dear Lord Cyra, this is not a threat. Also, do you remember that the goddess of the earth had a prophecy?" Alan was a little excited when he said the word prophecy.
"The prophecy of the goddess of the earth? How is that possible?" Cyla became agitated and then lost in thought, "I can't stay here for long, but I'll wait for him to wake up." ”
Alan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "As you wish." ”
In Allen's residence, Lu Ming, who was asleep, lay in the guest room, and there were two people standing in front of the window, it was Cyra and Allen.
The two of them had already put away their weapons, and the armor was still on Cyra's body, while Eren never seemed to wear armor.
"I observed this young man, his soul fluctuations and heart vitality are several times stronger than ordinary people, I wonder if Lord Cyra knows the reason?"
"I sensed in him the soul of Beria. ”
"It's the Demon King Beria who fell three years ago?!" was an unexpected answer for Allen.
Hearing the word "fall", Cyra frowned, but in the end did not pursue the issue.
"It seems that Beria's soul and heart have merged with this man. There was a hint of uncertainty in Cyra's tone.
"That's a miracle beyond the norm! This man has straight black hair, a trait that only appears in a few races, and he doesn't look like a person from the Zealed Continent," Alan said incomprehensibly.
"This man may have come from another world, and we created a dimensional rift in that fight three years ago, and Belia disappeared at that time. Another dimension... The prophecy of the goddess of the earth... That's the only way to think about it. Cyra was deep in thought, her eyes full of melancholy.
Alan was a little nervous, "Is that rumor true? That's not good." ”
Cyra didn't respond, just looked at Lu Ming on the bed quietly.
"Lord Cyra, the boy didn't know when he woke up, so he took his leave. With that, Alan closed the door and left the room, his face worried.
Only Sila and Lu Ming were left in the room.
Cyra looked at Lu Ming's face, feeling the familiar soul fluctuations, and her heart was mixed with five flavors for a while.
She walked slowly to the bed, stroked Lu Ming's face with her slender fingers, slowly leaned over, closed her eyes, and kissed Lu Ming's lips.
The lips are close to each other, without going any further, quietly and gently.
At this moment, Lu Ming opened his eyes, felt the warmth, and saw the beautiful girl in front of him.
Cyra also opened her eyes, and her red amber eyes looked at Lu Ming, his dark brown pupils looked ancient and deep.
Their lips were close to each other, their eyes were looking at each other, and neither of them made any other movements, as if time had stopped at this moment, falling into an eerie silence.
This is where the story begins.
