Edge of the Apocalypse - Chapter 1918

Heavenly star, a land on the border.

A horse-drawn carriage is heading towards Suhl City. Now this city, which has been transformed into a starship port, has basically been blocked to the outside world. Only people or things with relevant certificates can go to Starship Port via Storm City. On the only way, a checkpoint guards the traffic arteries, and there is enough force of a regular battalion to ensure that the horse thieves in the border land will not hit the city of Sur. But in fact, in the years when Higgs ruled the Borderlands, violent bandits and horse thieves have been extremely rare.

The carriage stopped in front of the checkpoint, and a group of soldiers stepped forward to ask for a clearance certificate. When they saw a customs clearance certificate with a golden cross embedded in the cover, they all crossed their hands and quickly opened the gate to let the carriage pass.

“Who is it on top?” a young soldier asked.

The captain smiled and said, “That’s a great man, boy. In that carriage, there is Saint Vera.”

Today, with Christianity being designated as the state religion by the empire, the power of the church has penetrated the country. Almost every large and medium-sized city in Balekan will set up a church to change the chaos of the previous imperial beliefs. Saint Vera has shown her ability to peer into the future more than once. It is rumored that God is observing the world through the eyes of the Saint. In the church, the prestige of the saint is irreplaceable. Her brilliance even overshadows the church itself.

Her followers are all over the country, and there is no need to kneel down even to see the king. Such a great honor speaks for itself.

At this moment, Vera, sitting in the carriage, was holding a letter in her hand.

The letter was sent to her by Edward, but the person who wrote it was not Edward, but Alan.

Allen wrote in the letter:

See the word as face.

In the twinkling of an eye, for a few years, I still remember when we boarded the Dawn, each of us had negative ideals, but now we have to separate things. It’s just that there is no permanent banquet in the world, gathering and separation, but it is also human nature. On this planet, I have left many memories. Among them, more of them are the experiences of birth and death with your friends. This experience will carry my heart, even if time goes by, it will not hurt anything.

Vera, my friend. When I first invited you to join, I promised you that I would take you to a place. It’s a pity that you haven’t realized your wish, and I am very ashamed. Fortunately, after asking about it this time, I knew where that place was. So I would like to ask you to go to Sul City when you receive the letter, and a starship will wait for you indefinitely. When you board it, you will arrive where you are going.

Perhaps the only thing I can do for you is this.

I wish you peace and happiness.

The signature is Alan Bethkode.

After receiving this letter, Vera, regardless of the church’s opposition, resolutely turned back from the north to the south, and rushed to Suer City non-stop. The church’s Crusader Knights and the Imperial Army have been escorting her to Violet Harbor, and Vera and ten elite knights will complete the rest of the journey.

Sur City is already in sight.

The appearance of the city remains the same, but the inside is quite different. Nowadays, the heavenly stars and the earth communicate frequently, and from time to time you will see starships landing. The loyalty of those knights is not a problem, but when they saw this scene, they were still shocked and inexplicable. Vera was calm in the carriage, but judging from her holding the envelope from time to time, it can be seen that her heart may not be as peaceful as the surface.

When she came to Suhl City, there was indeed a starship staying for her. This medium-sized ship bears the Beskard logo, and the ship’s **** force is full, even if it is attacked, it has enough counterattack force. Vera bid farewell to the knights and boarded the starship alone. After a while, she was already in space.

The heaven star is gradually gone.

Starship obviously already knows where his destination is, and the speed channel has been applied for early in the morning, and he can go to the destination at any time.

After the Gemini Space Station opened a channel, the starship did not enter the channel. When it came out, a space station could be seen far away. The porthole baffle in front of Vera’s seat rose slowly, allowing the girl to see the space station. Vera’s eyes were so blurred, she put her hand on the window of the cabin window, concentrating on the space station that was no longer in use. The space station was as quiet as a tomb. Fifteen years ago, there was an attack here, and Vera’s parents were both buried in the attack. After that, she lived with her grandfather Hugh.

“Time must be the most terrifying thing in this world. Today, fifteen years ago, when I heard their news, my heart was like a knife. But now, I am so calm.” An old voice suddenly sounded behind Vera.

The girl turned her head and saw an old Cong approaching her, who would not be in Hughton.

“Grandpa…” Vera immediately plunged into the arms of the old man, no matter how she was on the heaven star, she would always be just a little girl in front of the old man. Hughton hugged his granddaughter and smiled and said: “This kid Ellen, I like to make some little mysteries recently. When he put me on the boat, he only said that he would give me a surprise, but he didn’t want to tell me what it was. When I arrived at the heaven star, I guessed it was this one.”

Vera nodded and said, “He fulfilled his promise.”

“Yeah, I really lost my eyes. Who would have thought that a surface kid who came to Babylon to participate in the death ring would have such an achievement today.” Hughton laughed and said: “Now everyone knows that I am his teacher. , Let’s not mention the beautiful scenery, wherever I go, people call out General Hughton, even though I have retired for so many years.”

“But no matter how beautiful it is, it would be better to reunite with my baby.” The old man touched Vera’s head and said: “This time, Grandpa is not going anywhere, it’s up to you.”

Vera hugged the old man, nodded vigorously, and then stared at the space station in the distance.

Grandpa and grandson were speechless for a while.

Earth.

Unknown town.

“Let’s take a look at Luo, fresh fruits and vegetables, to ensure that there is no pollution.”

“I’m selling beef jerky, secretly marinated, delicious and refreshing, you want to buy it after eating it.”

The small market in the town is very lively, and there are hawkers everywhere, and people come and go.

Two people in cloaks walked in the market, one man and one woman can be seen from their figures. The man stopped from time to time to buy a few apples, a bag of beef jerky, and a bag of dried fruits. Just walk and eat like this, and from time to time pass it to the female partner next to him, but obviously the female partner shows no appreciation. Rejected again and again, but the man was not too troublesome and handed it to her again and again. Finally, the female companion took a bite of beef jerky, and the man laughed heartily like a boy who got his favorite toy.

They passed through the bazaar and walked into a secluded alley when suddenly a few men rushed out and outflanked them.

The man said, “Don’t you say that the people here are very kind? Why don’t I think so.”

“Because this is not the old village anymore.” The woman replied.

The first burly man shouted: “What are you whispering about, I haven’t seen you before, you are so unfamiliar. But you don’t seem to be short of money, so quickly leave your valuable things behind. We only want money and don’t want to hurt you.”

The man in the cloak smiled and said, “I will come if you come.”

“I’m a half master, let me come.” The woman sighed.

The man said: “People just want to make money, but don’t want to kill. You should do it lightly.”

The woman hummed, and then took a step forward.

In one step, he reached behind the leader, and then, without knowing what technique she used, the leader threw it out and fell into the drain. The fall was not light, but the man was still alive. The next few men were thrown out, and the woman clapped her hands and said, “Let’s go.”

The man in the cape still had time to pick up a piece of beef jerky, chew it in his mouth, and said, “You shot too fast. Slow down next time. I’m ready to watch a good show.”

The woman snorted in her hat, coldly.

The last two stopped in front of the ruins of a house, which was long gone, only a few corners remained. Weeds grew everywhere, and when the wind blew, the weeds undulated like waves. Where it should be the gate, there is no grass growing here, and it seems that someone has been here to weed. There is also a wreath on the gate, which seems to have been placed these two days, and the flowers on it have not withered yet.

The woman walked over, squatted down, gently placed her hand on the wreath and said, “Who would it be?”

“Don’t you know?” The man put some apples on the edge of the wreath and said, “I’ll weed.”

“No, just come back and have a look, but I didn’t plan to come back to live.”

“It doesn’t matter, it won’t take much time anyway.” He took off his cloak, his conspicuous silver hair gleaming in the sun.

Then he dialed the draft diligently, and occasionally looked back and smiled at the woman. The woman also took off her hat, and two ponytails of different colors came out. She smiled. She knew that if he wanted to, let alone weeding, even if the town disappeared, it would not take the effort to reach out. But he bends down like an ordinary person~www.mtlnovel.com~ She knows what it means.

“You are… are you Catherine?”

A voice rang behind them, and the girl turned her head and saw a middle-aged woman in ordinary dress approaching. She also held a wreath in her hand. Obviously, she put the wreath by the door.

The girl suddenly remembered something and said, “Are you Ajani?”

“Yes, it’s me.” The woman’s wreath fell to the ground, and she hugged Catherine abruptly and cried: “How many years have you been, I thought you were gone. I didn’t expect you to be alive. It was a terrible day. Disaster. If it weren’t for the big snake, you and your father should still be living here.”

Next, the two chatted for a long time by the door. By evening, Allen had wiped out the grass in the ruins. In front of the door, there was an extra wreath. They sat on the hillside in front of the ruins and watched the sunset together.

“Who is that person?”

“Her name is Adjani. When my father and I came to this village, she was still a beautiful woman.”

“It seems that she likes your father very much, otherwise, she won’t always send wreaths.”

“Well, they still had a relationship back then, but Ajani’s family disagrees. After all, my dad is a widower and he brought me such a drag oil bottle.”

“It seems that your father is quite likable.”

“Of course, he is the most handsome man I have ever seen.”

“what about me?”

“You, second most handsome.”

“what……”

Catherine laughed, her smiling face was so brilliant in the sunset. Suddenly, she paused, then looked back at the ruins.

In the ruins, there seemed to be a man smiling gently at her.
