Chapter 28: The Edge of the Abyss

The scene in front of him suddenly reminded the traveler of a long, long time ago, when he had just graduated from the academy and was assigned to serve for thirty years as one of the Ice Sea Post Stations, the Wagulu Sava Valley ("Purple Eyes in the Night"), which was the closest post station to the front line of the Ice Sea, and was stationed eight wizards (plus he was nine) and a regular army composed of knights, hunters and other formal professionals, plus a small number of family members and merchants who served them, Servants and indentured craftsmen, with a permanent population of about 2,000 and a reception capacity of 8,000 people, can be stuffed with 25,000 people if you turn on extreme mode. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Like other post stations, the Wagulu Sava Valley is a circular complex around the station, and a large barrier made of spells attached to the wizard's tower ensures that ordinary people can also survive on the ice sea, because of its proximity to the abyss, the lighting fireworks lit by the spells are reflected purple by the nearby ice surface, hence the name of the Wagulu Sava Valley. In order to make it difficult for ordinary people to endure it, some hardy lichens were planted in the gaps of the complex, and these plants also mutated into purple in a special environment.

He was assigned a spacious suite in the Valley of Oara, which meant that it could accommodate eighty people at a time, and there was a small stage next to it—there were two formal cabaret troupes in the Valley of Oara, and as in the rest of the Garo world, the wizards always had the priority to invite them. The public areas outside the suite also include a courtyard with fountains, flower beds and greenhouses, and although the Wagurusava Valley, which is located above the frozen sea, is a huge greenhouse in itself, the large barrier of the Wagulusava Valley can only support the growth of some hardy plants, and his greenhouse is filled with bottle orchids, milky flowers, and light-changing vines that can only grow in the hottest places in the world, and even a colony of fairy butterflies that are rare in the real tropics. If he wanted to go out and about, there were more than thirty bars and restaurants in the streets of the Vale de la Vava with different flavors, and he knew that there were several prostitutes where everything could be found - the owners there, like the three stolen takers in the Vale de Vago, were controlled by the wizards, and they could keep their income in exchange for the priority of providing the wizards with information and dealing.

The rumbling thunder brought rain elsewhere, and the flying Sky Train in the Wagulu Sava Valley, and his fellow wizards, like the rest of the people, called it the "Thunder Car", the Sky Train brought supplies and replacements from the rear, and the mines and the sick and wounded from the front line, both of which met in the Valley of Oagolusava, where they would take a short rest to replenish their stuff and spend some money. Elsewhere there are occasional overly curious tourists, but they generally don't go that deep - seven stations like the one from the civilized world to the Valley of Oareusava. He was on duty two or five days a month, and his tasks included maintaining the Great Barrier of the Wagulu Sava Valley, safely parking the sky train on the platform or throwing it high into the air, driving away the ice and foreign objects that were spying on the Wagulu Sava Valley, and as for the drinking and fighting of the passengers, it was a matter for the garrison.

The rest of the time, he spent all his time on the sea of ice shrouded in endless darkness, he found a black lichen that was not recorded in the sharp ice rift valley, drove away the foreign objects in the sea of ice near the valley of the valley of Ogulu Sava several times in advance, encountered the fountain of poisonous fire that is also very rare in the sea of ice, and twice responded to the call for help, supported the troubled ice patrol, in addition to research and patrol, he also flew several times on the bone dragon until the peak of the ice sea that led straight to the abyss, watching from a distance as the abyss energy extracted from the distant mines dyed the sky blood, where the wizards extracted the power of the abyss filtered by the ice sea, condensing this boiling power into minerals under the suppression of spells and transporting them to the rear, this is the reason for the existence of the Ice Sea Station and all the facilities, in fact, the reason for the existence of the entire Ice Sea.

The Ice Sea is located in the center of the entire Garo World, but it does not originally belong to the Garo World, it is the product of the fourth world transformation of the wizards, at that time, the wizards tore open the central area of the Garo World, and pulled a small surface world of the abyss into and lifted it up, forming the "Endless Ice Sea", and the part of the middle of the ice sea that connects with the abyss is called the "Ice Sea Frontline". It took more than a hundred years for wizards to sweep away most of the protists in the ice sea, and established mines and post stations where the peak of the ice sea and the abyss were connected, extracting the abyss for the entire Garo world.

Many people once felt sorry for him, thinking that he, as the chief graduate of the college, must have violated some order to be assigned to the Wagulu Sava Valley, which is only one stop on the ice front, what they didn't know was that he first applied for a job on the ice front, thinking that he wanted to go to the "place of world transformation" in person, and finally because of his lack of age, he was assigned to the Wagu Lusava Valley, and seven months later, when he was having breakfast, his brother's head floated on the table, telling him that he had passed the assessment and could start his "real studies".

He packed his bags and left, and when the sky train rose into the sky with the rumbling thunder, he looked back at the valley of Wagulusava on the frozen ocean, which was getting smaller and smaller and gradually shrinking into purple dots, thinking that one day he would be able to go to the front line of the ice sea instead of looking at it from afar, but he did not think that one day, he would see a red light similar to the front line of the ice sea in a place like Jiming Village.

It's just that on the front line of the ice sea, the abyss is extracted for the use of the whole world, and here, "Fumengou"? Heh, at this speed, the abyss will soon be able to climb to the ground and pull the entire Jiming Village into it, maybe in tens of thousands of years, the wreckage of Jiming Village will appear in another form in another world, and the abyss has been very, It's very close, this generation, the next generation, and the next generation of Jiming Village may still think that they are living a peaceful life without fighting with the world, but this is just a false appearance like the past Jiming Village in Zhao Xiaoliu's mind.

His hand flipped and stuffed the rusty lock in the back door into the basket behind his back, the red light he saw in the eyes of the sky was not suitable for seeing the things of this world, he had to wait until dawn to see what was wrong with this lock, why did he slide open it by himself without opening it?

Of course, there is no need to tell Zhao Xiaoliu about this, what he said before has scared him enough, if he is not afraid of being arrested, he will definitely flee home first and cover his head with a quilt for three or four days before slowly admitting the reality.

They returned to the mountain the same way, after tossing and turning in the middle of the night, the night had gradually receded, the grass and trees showed their shape, the traverser took out the rusty lock and looked at it, the keyhole was rusty, but the latch was as clean as new, what was the force that opened the lock in his hand and he knew nothing about it, and even the eye of heaven did not see anything abnormal? No, maybe the eye of heaven had seen it, but at that moment the red light in the ditch of the mourning gate obscured his senses......

The back door of the Tian family opened a crack, Tian Erhu didn't call anyone, personally helped wrap the luggage, and sent his only remaining son to ride on a horse to the county: "Let your third uncle bring a few capable people, and you won't come back, don't remember!" His son nodded and said yes, thinking that there was nothing that his third uncle couldn't solve, and he didn't care, and his heart was full of the idea of "coming back with the third uncle and beating up those who dare to pretend to be gods and make tricks to bully my dignified Tian family". After sending his son away, Tian Erhu walked into the inner room and burned some important documents, important deeds and the like were packed in an iron box with gold and silver, and he hid them with his son, neither his wife nor his daughters told him.

He decided to fight to the end.

"Didn't you feed the pig last night?" asked Zhimei's father.

"It's not like my pigs. His wife replied, and after hearing this, she said, "It looks like the king's pig is crowing." ”

"It must be their lazy girl who has less pigweed, so hungry that the pig barks, the farmer's family, a year counting on the pig to be fattened, sister Zhi, after you pass the door, you have to be diligent, rather you can't eat, but also feed the pig fat, so that you are worthy of the people - people have two big pigs in exchange for you, and you have fed other people's pigs thin, no conscience, you know?"

"Yes. Zhimei nodded solemnly, she wouldn't run around the village with her head held high like that little girl and not feed her own pigs!

Zhou Huaiyi slept very badly last night, although his brother told him that he had little to do with the Tian family's affairs, he still remembered that he left in a hurry, and threw some of the profits he had just collected and a piece of chestnut cake in the ancestral hall: "I was afraid of being liquidated, so I hurriedly ran home to beg my brother to come forward, but I didn't participate in the bad things that his Tian family did, my conscience didn't participate, no, I have to go and see my things early, and carefully their Tian family gave me a 'You are not clean', if they find out - then say that they made a fake account!" I, Zhou Huaiyi, don't eat people's plot!" Thinking of this, he didn't tell anyone, and when he got up early in the morning, he didn't care about eating, so he went to the ancestral hall.
