alliance of misthophoros

Chapter 17 2.12. The Tenth Attendant: Heaven
A long time ago, the Eastern Suburb Forest was a spiritual mountain. At that time, it was not as flat as it is now, but steep and high.

The abundant spiritual power of this spiritual mountain gave birth to the mountain spirit,
The name of the mountain spirit is Wuqi.

At that time, there was no trace of human habitation in Lingshan Mountain, and it was a completely uninhabited place, and there were no such spectacular waterfalls, and it was completely like a primitive mountain forest.

Wu Qi was a sika deer at the beginning, from birth to becoming a mountain spirit, his whole body became white, and he hadn't seen a human being for a long time.

The first time I saw humans, a group of people and a real dragon in human form entered the mountain.

But the dragon had serious poisonous wounds and was already dying.

Although the real dragon's life is dying, its strength should not be underestimated.

When he saw the dragon, Wu Qi was startled, how could this hill have the ability to enshrine the Dragon Lord.

Worried that Zhenlong would be upset and flood his hill.

So Wuqi began to take the initiative to approach the real dragon.

At the beginning, Wuqi cautiously and respectfully tried to get close to the dragon, but later found that the man had a docile temperament, no airs at all, and was even ordered to work by humans.

Wuqi's speech became more and more bold, from the hesitating at the beginning to the eloquence now.

"You dragon, why do you want to go to my deep mountain and old forest instead of going back to your sea." Wuqi has always lived in this deep mountain and can communicate with all things. Naturally, he is omniscient and omniscient. I have seen the sea, but I know that dragons live in the sea all year round.

"Sea?" There was some confusion in the man's eyes.

Wuqi waited for the real dragon to continue, feeling suspicious.

This dragon has never seen the sea, right?

But the crisp birdsong and cicadas chirped for a long time, but the man did not continue to speak.

The man just stared blankly at the grass and trees in the mountains in front of him, as if he had escaped into an empty realm.

until.

A woman's sweet call sounded in the forest.

"dragon--"

Wuqi knew who it was when he heard it.

The man's dull expression stretched out, his eyes were full of starlight and tenderness, his mouth was lightly opened, and after a moment of brewing, he said in a deep and magnetic way:
"I'm here."

When someone came, Wu Qi disappeared.

I saw that ordinary human woman holding the man's hand, and muttering with a little dissatisfaction in her mouth: "Where have you been, I have been looking for you for a long time."

"I'm sorry." The man was still a little dull, but he was as happy as a child who had eaten candy.

Wuqi suddenly understood why, as a noble dragon who controlled the wind and rain, he was willing to be instructed by humans, no, to be precise, it was instructed by the woman to cut firewood and carry water.

It's because it's love.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long afterwards.

There was a deep dragon chant, a shocking shock, and a continuous heavy rain.

The real dragon turned into a dragon body and fell beside the rushing waterfall. The bones remained on this land forever. The group of people who came with the real dragon seemed to be washed away by the flood and disappeared.

Although the huge dragon body that fell destroyed many forests in the mountains, it also reshaped the mountain, almost razing the mountain to the ground, and the flood caused by continuous heavy rain took the lives of countless creatures.

But the keels left behind made the forest more energetic, and the streams and waterfalls formed were more suitable for living in life. Over the years, it became the appearance of the forest in the eastern suburbs today.

【Outside Paradise City】

When he really got close to Paradise City, Safir's understanding of Paradise City was renewed.

At this moment, Safir felt that there was only a wall between hell and heaven, and the strong contrast brought him an indescribable sense of shock.

There are groups of homeless people outside the city, corpses floating in the river; refugees who are skinny with only a handful of bones left;

There are also those who specially come to Paradise City for pilgrimage to pray for a good harvest and the protection of the Mother Earth, the devout believers of the Mother Earth; the princes and generals come and go full of jewels and jewels.

The existence of Paradise City undoubtedly divided the people of the world into two categories.

the rich.

With people.

"Before Paradise City appeared, this place was similar to the outside scene." Wilson covered his eyes, "It was even more chaotic. Because it is located at the junction of the two countries, natural disasters other than famine, disease, and barrenness In addition, there are endless disputes and wars."

Wilson said this to appease Safire, "For most unarmed ordinary people, this is hell, but for us homeless mercenaries, it can be said that it is one of the few places to stay. place."

Before that, Wilson hadn't brought Safire to this once-no-man's-land, so Safire certainly couldn't imagine how chaotic it was before.

When Wilson came back to this place again, he was as shocked as Safir, but what he was shocked by was not the clear vision of poverty and wealth.

What shocked him was this paradise.

It turns out that there really is a place called heaven in this world.

Poverty and wealth are not only divided by people's respective living standards and difficulty of survival, but the huge information gap in between is an insurmountable gap.

The simplest example.

Before Wilson entered Paradise City.

He doesn't know what digitalization and informatization are, and he can't imagine what kind of life in Paradise City is like.

Outside of Paradise City is actually much better than before.

At least under the deterrence of Mother Earth, except for some petty theft and small disputes outside Paradise City, the kind of large-scale massacre like before will not happen.

From another perspective, apart from being barren, the outside of Paradise City also has a hard-won peace.

In this world of constant strife.

Peace has become an unattainable luxury.

Moreover, Paradise City will distribute unnecessary clothes and food to people outside the city on a regular basis, so countless people who came due to famine and war have to travel long distances to set up camp outside Paradise City.

Gaia, the mother of the earth, has no intention of expelling the outsiders, which leads to a surge in the homeless population outside Paradise City.

But for people outside the city, Paradise City only provides a little peace. They still have to face the threat of disease. With such a dense population, as long as it is a slightly contagious disease, most people can die. It will even affect the people in the city.

Sooner or later, Gaia will have to make a trade-off.

The continuation of such a beautiful scene inside Paradise City also depends on Gaia's handling of various disputes.

Not everyone yearns for peace.

So everyone knows that Paradise City may one day disappear without a trace, without a trace, as quickly as it vacated the world.

As the rough female voice sounded: "Send out steamed buns! Send out steamed buns!"

A group of people who were smelly, dirty but a little bit mobile, got up and swarmed away when they heard this voice, as if they had heard an order.

"Snatching is prohibited, line up obediently!" A male voice as bright as jade rang out immediately.

Wilson recognized the two at the sound.

The girl's name is Li Zhuohua, and the boy's name is Li Hongwen.

These two people are in the restaurant business in Paradise City.

It is said that they were orphans who were wandering during the war years. They were fostered by a woman who specialized in taking orphans since they were young. This woman opened a restaurant nearby at that time, so the two of them went to help when they were a little older. After the woman died of illness, The grown-up Li Zhuohua inherited the family business and became the new proprietress of the restaurant.

Maybe it was luck, the new restaurant happened to be inside Paradise City.

When Paradise City rose almost overnight, Li Zhuohua also became the proprietress of the Paradise City Restaurant as a matter of course, and the business became more and more prosperous, and the turnover also increased.

But Li Zhuohua is not the kind of person who is greedy for pleasure, and he has not forgotten the years of poverty in the past. He understands the pain of not having enough food and clothing, so he will find time to distribute food for free outside Paradise City.

Wilson still remembers the first time he entered the restaurant and met the two.

Li Zhuohua looks ordinary, with a short and fat body, but the waiter in her shop who feels very unreliable is very attractive, with a slender figure, a tall nose and a sexy mole.

Almost every time Wilson entered the store, he could see Yingying and Yanyan surrounded by the waiter. Even if there were no women around him, there were still many reserved women who were flirting secretly.

Li Hongwen, the waiter in the store, no matter men, women, old or young, always welcomes visitors and is hospitable, but he doesn't give any visitor the intention of further development.

Wilson also overheard a conversation.

"What's your name?" A woman asked Li Hongwen curiously.

Li Hongwen didn't answer directly, but instead asked with a playful smile, "Do you know the name of the proprietress of this restaurant?"

"I just remember that the surname seems to be Li."

"Yes, I follow her surname, and my surname is Li." Li Hongwen said humorously, and put the dishes on the table, "My name is Hongwen, and my full name is Li Hongwen~"

Then came the laughter of the woman.

After hearing this, Wilson thought to himself that the waiter in this shop is not only good-looking, but also seems to have a mouth that is very pleasing to girls.

Right now outside Paradise City, Li Hongwen also saw Wilson in the distance by virtue of his outstanding height and good eyesight, and hurriedly greeted him, "Hi! Wilson, are you back?"

Wilson also said hello, and passed through the management staff of Paradise City who were maintaining order. Wilson led Safire and Mandela to chat with Li Hongwen.

Li Zhuohua, on the other hand, was too busy to care about other things, and he didn't even scold Li Hongwen, a veritable vase, while chatting aside.

Li Hongwen saw Safire next to Wilson at a glance, "I'll come to the restaurant for a few drinks when I get back. Is this the friend you went to pick up?"

After speaking, Li Hongwen greeted the two of them, "Hi~"

"Hi, hello." Safire also replied enthusiastically, but Mandela just watched with cold eyes.

Wilson was not polite when he heard it, "Okay, remember to count us cheaper."

"Then you have to ask our lady boss about it. The lady boss is the biggest, and I can't make the decision as a handyman." Li Hongwen glanced at Li Zhuohua next to him, "But I can accompany you to drink and fight until dawn."

As Li Hongwen was talking, he saw that Li Zhuohua was almost pushed down by the swarming crowd, he quickly helped him up, pinched the soft flesh, and did not forget to joke a few words, "I'm so dead, I'm so dead."

Li Zhuohua slapped him and shouted, "It's because you don't exercise, why are you yelling."

"Ah, yes, yes, the proprietress is right." Li Hongwen was still smiling when he was scolded, but he became fierce again in an instant, pinched his voice that hadn't changed his voice, and yelled hard: "Why squeeze you! A group of beggars Yes! Don’t eat any more!!”

"What kind of arrogance do you want to show off, hurry up and help!"

Li Zhuohua slapped Li Hongwen again, but still missed Li Hongwen.

Although he missed, Li Hongwen still kept begging for mercy, "Don't hit me, don't hit me, my handsome face is almost too good to be seen by you."

"You handsome Li still care about your face?!"

"Then maybe you don't care~ I'm just a front to solicit business for you." Li Hongwen also knew that he had a good appearance.

Seeing this, Wilson felt that the two had a good relationship, and said when he saw that there was nothing to do, "Then you are busy, I will go back to Paradise City with my friends first, and wait for the restaurant to open in the evening."

Li Zhuohua and Li Hongwen have experienced the hardships of starting a business together, faced the hardships of life together, and often quarreled, but they never left each other.

A word came to Wilson's mind as soon as he saw the two men.

Human fireworks.

In Paradise City, this restaurant is Wilson's favorite place to go. Even if it's just watching two people bickering and eating some oily food, it's very comfortable to forget some troubles for a short time.

We are individuals, and we all like places where there are people and human touch.
