Chapter 637 Alek
Chapter 637 Alek
"Heaven?"
"Yes, this is not a place for people to stay. I have inquired about it. As long as you buy a ticket, you can fly to the Star Realm. Once you are in the Star Realm, the Alliance will accept you. They will provide benefits and preferential treatment as long as you change your nationality from the Empire to the Alliance. Hey, it makes no difference. It's just a name that has nothing to do with you."
Voge babbled on.
"I'm not going." Alec refused subconsciously.
The elf took back the plate that Alec had wolfed down. "Why? There aren't so many good things in the world. It's not easy to find a generous and kind foster father, not to mention that he's a dwarf. It's simply a miracle. How dare you hammer my finger, Vog!"
"Because. Because." Alec hadn't figured out a reason to refuse. He didn't know why he was resisting. When he saw the plate, an idea flashed in his mind: "Because I hate the food of the stars!"
The two were amused: "That's what you eat."
“That’s why I hate it!”
"I'm relieved to hear your reasons." Voger patted the boy's back hard. Alec felt like his lungs were about to burst. "You've been to elementary school and middle school. You should continue to study and enjoy a better life. Go to the star realm. There are no monsters there. You don't have to go into dangerous ruins. Good days are waiting for you. Except for food."
"What about you? Uncle Voge, let's go together."
"I am not an Imperial, so of course I will not be accepted unconditionally by the Alliance. I don't have any skills, I can only swing a sledgehammer." Voger drank the wine: "But don't worry about me. Do you know my father? Your grandfather Singrev knows Master Rorschach. Do you know Rorschach? He is a buddy of our Lord.
"When I can't work anymore, I can take the things my father left me and go to the Earl's Mansion. I can live a comfortable life right away. Do you believe it?"
The elf smiled and took back the bottle. He was about to refill Vog's glass: "You are talking about this old nonsense again, which proves that you have drunk enough and too much. Alec, drag old Vog back home."
"Wine money." Alec set aside money for drinks and meals from his income, put Voger on his back without saying a word, and picked up his sledgehammer again.
The boy's strength was amazing, and he walked steadily on the street. Although they were still inside the artificial dome, the street was still colder than the tavern.
There are a lot fewer Star Realm guys recently. Alec took a quick look and could hardly see the men and women in strange costumes looking around. There were only the locals hurrying back and forth and the soldiers patrolling constantly.
Alec's heart was in a mess. On the one hand, he resisted Voger's offer to send him away with his savings, but on the other hand, he could not help but yearn for life in heaven. The boy even felt guilty for this yearning and cursed in his heart: Alec, you are so selfish!
It was three o'clock in the morning in Dalburgh and the lights were on.
Alec, covered in blood, lay on the stretcher in a daze. He endured the pain from his neck to his back and turned his head to look at his and Vog's home. At this moment, this place was not much different from the ruins of the Dwarven Confederation they explored.
"Are there any survivors?"
"A dwarf was found, unconscious."
Alec's heartbeat and adrenaline suddenly surged, driving his vocal organs to shout as loudly as he could: "Wog! Uncle Vog! Vo-G-!" The rescuer held down the boy's head as he tried to raise it: "He's fine, he just fainted."
Alec vaguely heard someone beside him talking about the current situation. Although his mind was still confused and pain was attacking from all parts of his body, he still figured out the general situation: a rare earthquake occurred in Dalberg. Although the tremor was not strong, the gas pipeline in their neighborhood had been in disrepair for a long time. After it was damaged, it was detonated by the overturned boiler.
Voger inherited Singrev's tenacious life and luck, and he was not seriously injured. After waking up, he saw Alek following the shouting, nodded almost imperceptibly on the stretcher, and then looked at the ruins.
His home and his money were buried down there, perhaps burned to ashes. The dwarf had his back to the boy, but Alec could sense that Vog was sobbing silently.
The sirens rang throughout the city. The first three sirens indicated the occurrence of a disaster, and then the sirens changed to short, rapid tones, which was the signal for the guards to prepare for the attack. On the fortress wall, the artillery began to operate, and the searchlight swept across the ground. The ambulance carrying Alec and Voge was heading towards the attacking armored vehicles.
They arrived at the hospital and sat in silence beside each other in the beds.
Finally, the dwarf spoke: "I don't know how many are left. If the tavern is fine, I will go find the owner if there are still some. I can ask him to send you to the astral world anyway."
"No, it's good not to go. Even if we don't go to the ruins, we can find other things to do."
The hospital bed was separated by a curtain, but the boy could imagine the dwarf's anger. After all, his tone was so excited: "Looking for something else? What else can you and I do? We can only join the defense team. Don't look at their air cavalry as arrogant, they are just as dangerous as us scavengers, and even face more terrifying enemies! You you you."
The medical staff interrupted Voge and said, "This patient please keep quiet. There are other patients as well. You all need to rest."
The next morning, Alec was woken up. "You need to rest" was the last sentence he remembered from the previous night. His whole body was in pain, but his hands and feet were still good.
It wasn't Voge, or a doctor or nurse, who woke him up. A middle-aged man in a robe and with a tired face stood at the head of his bed: "Are you Alek?"
"Yes, sir." The boy was a little confused.
The middle-aged man raised his hand and pressed it on his body. A faint blue light shone, and all the pain of the boy disappeared. Is this healing magic? Alec was very surprised. He remembered that his teacher had said that magic had many magical effects, but natural magic was listed as a forbidden technique for some reason.
"You will be eighteen in a week, but if you are not yet eighteen, you are a minor." The man explained that the Earldom will sponsor all minors to leave here on a starship; those between eighteen and twenty-four can choose to stay or leave voluntarily; those over twenty-four will need to pay for part of the fare themselves, and the Earldom will only sponsor a portion.
"Some people cannot accept the identity of the Alliance and cannot adapt to the life in the astral world, so they choose to stay. Others are eager to leave and try every possible means. The situation in the earldom is now deteriorating, just like the problems faced by the empire thirty years ago. It has reached the brink of destruction, and people voluntarily decide whether to go or stay.
"Perhaps for some people, their status, position, and wealth will lose their meaning after they go to the astral world, and their lives will be worse than those on the ground. But you don't have to worry. All minors in the earldom will have the opportunity to receive education arranged by the alliance so that you can adapt to your new life."
Alec couldn't believe there was such a good thing: "What about Uncle Voge? Can he leave?"
The middle-aged man looked thoughtful. "Didn't he tell you? As the descendant of Singrev, Voger can leave here at any time if he wants. He stayed here voluntarily. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Richard Dahlberg."
