Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1795 Another Landmine

The girl raised her head, glanced at the group of strangers curiously, and nodded slightly: "Yes, many people here know me." Her voice was flat, not out of pride, nor to publicize her identity as a "hero's daughter", but just to explain the situation to the outsiders.

Hao Ren immediately felt that the situation was a little subtle, while Y'zaks looked at the girl quietly for a while, and suddenly asked: "What's your name?"

"Vanessa Hodel." The girl answered politely, without showing any strange expression because of Y'zaks's terrifying appearance.

“You joined the army?” Y’zaks asked casually, as if he had met the orphan of an old friend. His face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Vanessa nodded, then shook her head slightly: "I can't be a soldier, I want to be a clerk. Dad always hoped that there would be an educated person in the family."

Y'zaks nodded, took out a talisman and handed it to the girl. Your body may not be able to survive in the demon plane for several months. This talisman can help you adapt to the environment there.

"I can't accept such a valuable thing." The girl was a little flustered.

"Take it. I know your father. He is a good warrior."

When the girl heard that the man was someone her father knew, she thought he was a comrade-in-arms. She nodded and obediently accepted the amulet.

Lan Nuo took a look at the situation and took this opportunity to get closer to the girl and asked, "Hasn't there been a big battle in the demon plane for a long time? Why are they still recruiting people over there?"

When the girl heard that everyone knew his father, she started talking.

"It is said that the Mad Demon King has been resurrected. All countries have to mobilize their armies to form a defense line to prevent the demons from attacking. It is better to place the battlefield outside the country than to destroy the cities and villages that have been painstakingly built in the country."

"I see. How are the treatments for military dependents now compared to the treatments in the army? How are your daily lives? Your father told us that if you encounter such a situation, you should take good care of them." Lan Nuo was quite familiar with grass-roots work. The two of them sat on a stone pier, and everyone listened to him talking nonsense.

The devil girl muttered quietly: "Now I finally know how this guy lied to me and said he knew my father."

……

“The treatment of military families is actually no different from that of other ordinary people. At most, a few people from the community will come to express their condolences during the holidays and leave some food and vegetables. There’s nothing we can do about it. The whole country has a distribution system now, and even the families of martyrs cannot be treated too specially.” The girl didn’t seem dissatisfied with this.

"Even if the country is short of supplies, it's a bit unreasonable to treat the families of martyrs like this. When you go to the front line to serve as a soldier, don't you get magical items that can adapt to the local environment?"

"Everyone has it, but didn't they all get used to it in the end? What's so special about me?" The girl said with a bit of stubbornness.

"Okay, okay, nothing special. I'm just worried about you, but I want to tell you, it's so good to live a good life at home, why do you want to go to the front line? What is the reason for you to fight on the front line?"

"Of course it's to defend our country. If everyone just wants to hide in the back, then won't we all become slaves of a conquered nation?" The girl's tone was very excited, and she almost asked how could her father have friends like you.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited. I'm just asking, let's assume for a moment, what would happen if the human kingdom was really occupied by the Mad Demon King?"

The girl was stunned for a moment. She had never really thought about this question carefully. She just intuitively felt that if her country was occupied by demons, it would be very miserable. After thinking for a while, she said:

"If our country is occupied by demons, maybe everyone will become a slave of the demons, and their life and death will not be in their own hands? In any case, it will definitely not be a good thing."

"Well...it seems that you have never been to the front line." Lan Nuo's seemingly meaningless chat has revealed a lot of information.

In fact, most people don't know why they are fighting. The reason for many people to fight is actually just fear and prejudice against demons. And the hatred accumulated in the long battle, plus a certain degree of brainwashing by the church. But in fact, if you think deeply, you will find that they actually lack the reason to participate in the war.

"I have indeed never been to the front line. What's the matter? What do you guys have to say?" There was some thorn in Vanessa's words, and the girl that Lan Nuo was talking about felt quite uncomfortable.

"Don't be angry. If we have the chance, we can take you to the front line in advance. You can also go to the reconnaissance camp and take a look at the demon city from afar. It may not be the same as you imagined. But it's too far away. If you want to go to the city center, we can take you there. From your appearance, you probably haven't been to the city center much, right? This is a good opportunity to buy you some things you can use in the barracks. The environment in the demon world is not very friendly to humans, and many things are not very convenient. You haven't been there in person, so you don't know, so we can help you pick."

The girl had no plans to go out, but somehow she was tricked into going on this pirate ship. Vanessa rarely comes to the city center because things here are generally very expensive, and it is indeed far from home, so she has hardly ever been here to see it.

After arriving at the central commercial street, she felt a little uncomfortable. Although the city had already implemented a rationing system, there were still many shops filled with exquisite and expensive goods.

Lan Nuo pointed at the window and introduced Vanessa as if he was very familiar with this place: "Child, can you drink? It looks hot outside in the Demon, but there is actually a big temperature difference between day and night. Having a glass of wine to warm up at night is actually very important for soldiers. It is a scarce supply in the army. If you can bring some with you, it will definitely be helpful."

Venesha frowned. "Didn't the country issue a ban on alcohol seven or eight years ago? Alcohol is made from grain. How can we still make wine when there is such a shortage of grain? Many people can't even afford food, so how can we still buy alcohol?"

"The Prohibition is something that can only be talked about openly. Do you really think it can be enforced? See the store next to us. Do you know what they sell in the store? They sell compressed grape bricks. In fact, it is just the yeast, pressed grapes and a large amount of sugar squeezed together to make a specific food. It is nominally a food. In fact, if this thing falls into a bucket of water and is soaked for a few weeks, it will automatically ferment into wine. This is also a way for the people to circumvent the Prohibition. In fact, in the nobles' manors, winemaking has never stopped, and the only people who really have no wine to drink are the poorest people." Vanessa was silent. The reality gradually differed from what she had imagined. The decrees issued by the government might not be enforced. In other words, what the government publicized might not be true.

"Do you feel like your worldview is collapsing? There are some things that we thought didn't exist before we saw them, but it's different after we saw them. How about it? Do you want to show me something more exciting?"

Vanessa instinctively felt that what she was about to experience would subvert her three views, but driven by curiosity, she nodded.

"Let's go! I'll show you the pleasures of high society!"

Lan Nuo led everyone through the streets with ease and came to a club that looked small on the surface. After entering, they found that the underground space here was a different world and was many times larger than what it looked like on the ground.

Vivian whispered to the other Lan Nuo beside her: "Other you, how come you are so familiar with these things? I feel like your ability to adapt is a little too strong. You feel like home wherever you go."

"It's just a little special intelligence ability. You'll get used to it."

After Lan Nuo checked the interface with the waiter at the door, he successfully entered this entertainment venue that only existed in the underground world.

What can you see in such a place? It goes without saying that even in this seemingly rationed environment, it does not prevent some people from enjoying themselves. It is like the living environment of ordinary people in ancient times was much worse than that in the 1960s and 1970s, but there were still extravagant landlords and bureaucrats at the top of society.

If it were a more enlightened social system, if it was supervised by the public, perhaps it would be better, but under the feudal system, when the other side of society was exposed to Vanessa, the girl's three views finally collapsed.

"How could they... just waste all that food and supplies. And..." For a moment she didn't know what to say.

Lan Nuo did not deliberately guide his thoughts, but took her to see more things. This time he no longer concealed his technology that was ahead of his time, and secretly installed a bug in the secret single room, allowing her to hear the conversation inside.

That was after the hotel, someone was discussing in the box how to deduct the military pay and how to make money from the relief food. The greedy and selfish side of human nature was undoubtedly revealed in it. In troubled times, it was the time for these people to make money. It had almost become their instinct to plunder the passing geese.

"So, do you still think it's worth going to the battlefield? I don't deny your belief in defending your country. But the premise of all this is that you are defending your own country, and as you just saw, some things are actually very different from what you imagined. Whose country is this so-called country?"

"You have your own reputation among humans, so you also bear more responsibilities. Logically, I shouldn't interfere with your choice, but I think at least before you make a choice, I can let you see more clearly what the world you live in looks like.

Things may not be better under the rule of the devil, but whether it will be better should be decided by your own eyes.

Or if you still can't accept the devil, then think about how to change the country you live in now. Your power alone may not be enough. But I think that nowadays, you are not the only one who wants to see change and has the motivation to change the status quo. "

Lan Nuo solemnly handed a book to the little girl, and also planted a big bomb in the world.

As a result, future historians still don't understand why the Cardesa uprising, which was the first large-scale uprising organized by the human race, was so organized and disciplined, rather than being easily suppressed like previous uprisings.

Some things are not suitable for demons to solve. So it is necessary to take two approaches at the same time. Lan Nuo is experienced in this field. Even if he only leaves a few books, it is enough to change the world.

After bidding farewell to this human city, everyone went to other cities and villages one after another, and truly experienced the huge gap between the feudal country and the already industrialized seventh demon plane, and also experienced the huge prejudice of the human world against demons. Most people, like the little girl, believed that if demons invaded, they would enslave everyone, and that demons were monsters that would eat people for fun.

In a sense, their perception was not wrong. The previous demon was indeed such a character, but now it is obviously different. However, the transformation of cognition in this regard is the business of the demon girl.

After returning to the Demon King's City, Hao Ren discussed with the little devil girl and finally decided to build a teleportation station here to facilitate the little devil girl to travel back and forth between the earth and here, so that she can meet her father on a regular basis. As for the huge spaceship, he had to take it away due to his duties as an examiner. There was not only the remains of his eldest son, but also a tombstone of a civilization. For this matter, he also tossed the Airim elves over again. These elves were considered to be the few civilian armed forces he could use. Hiring them to escort a spaceship that was hundreds of kilometers long did cost a lot of money.

This time, Hao Ren did not take the elves to move. They were still self-reliant during their rest. The favors owed were not that big, so it would cost money to hire them. However, it was precisely because they did not move that the elves did not lose their original assets. All kinds of equipment were much more advanced. Considering the impact on the world in the future, optical camouflage was laid on the surface when moving large equipment. It was not as grand as the original work. They shuttled through one space gate after another, shocking all countries. But even so, the abnormal distortion in the sky became an unsolved mystery many years later.

The matter of Yzaks's hometown came to a temporary end, and the time went back to three hundred years ago...

……

On a white planet, Lan Nuo woke up in the biting cold wind and quickly took out a silver-white thermal insulation metal blanket and wrapped himself in it.

"It's so cold, where have I traveled to?" Lan Nuo looked up and saw huge mountains in the distance. Above the mountains, there was a huge pillar of fire that reached the sky and the earth, shooting straight out of the atmosphere.
