On a moonlit night, Andrei and Alyosha barbecued meat on the back of a single-oven beast in the yard, enjoying a rare holiday.
It has been thirteen years since they came to Yaocheng, a big city. During this time, many things have changed.
First, Andrei entered the seminary and learned from scratch, obtained the official scholar qualification with excellent results, and put on the black robe with the holy flower.
Then he successfully stayed in school and entered the medical school as an intern lecturer.
Originally, Andre had nothing to do with medicine.
In the past twenty years of his life in the abyss, he has always appeared as a mage, controlled the mage tower, used exploration techniques, and the work he was engaged in was closer to the military direction.
Yaocheng did not need combat members, but had high requirements for professional abilities, especially in the seminary, which symbolized the top of the pyramid of scholars. To become a lecturer, the competition was extremely fierce.
His wife Alyosha persuaded him: "Dear Andre, I know that you have always wanted to have a mage tower where you can continue your previous magic research. But this is not a small place like an abyss, but
Yaocheng, the big city behind the Yao people..."
"We all have to learn to be down-to-earth, okay? I believe that with your abilities, you can also make great achievements in other areas."
Then she suggested that Andre should apply for medical school.
The reason is that as the Yao population continues to grow and the development scale of cities expands, the gap in specific occupations becomes large.
The biggest gaps are in the two professions: doctors and senior herders.
Senior herdsmen must specialize in raising and caring for extraordinary creatures, especially the aberrant beasts headed by the single-furnace beast. If they are cultivated properly, these aberrant beasts will be biological devices with the ability to grow.
But it is not easy to raise them well. Getting along with extraordinary creatures requires a lot of skills, corresponding knowledge, and experience as a herdsman.
In the extraordinary ranches in various cities, there has always been a huge shortage of high-level herdsmen.
Doctors do the same.
As the population grows, the number of patients is also growing rapidly. Nursing homes in every city have expanded and expanded, but the number of doctors has never kept up with the needs of patients.
"Andre, the medical school needs to recruit many intern lecturers. With your ability, there is absolutely no problem."
Alyosha said: "Did you know? Many patients in Yaocheng have to make an appointment for a few days before it is their turn to receive treatment. Many of our colleagues are working day and night, checking blood, observing patients, and making preparations."
The purpose of magic potion is to save more people’s lives..."
"Your [Detection Technique] can not only be used in combat, but can also be used to help people."
Andrei accepted his wife's advice.
During his ten years in medical school, he gradually rose to prominence. His experience as an Abyss mage also allowed him to deal with various situations in an orderly manner. He went out to participate in diagnosis and treatment, which did not affect his continued study of magic.
By now, Andre is already a Sanhua scholar and a senior lecturer at the School of Medicine.
Not long ago, the Kingdom of Yao was officially announced, and all the cities on the ground were officially connected. As the capital of the kingdom, the status of Yao City was officially confirmed, and the residents in the city also received more dividends.
Immediately after the crystal structure era was determined, the academic enthusiasm of the Yao people further increased, and another good era for scholars came.
…
Those fellow mages who have been waiting for opportunities are now either building wizard towers in the mountains or looking for job opportunities everywhere. Ordinary mages are not very competitive in Yao cities.
Andre swallowed a piece of barbecue and said with emotion: "More than ten years ago, I was still wandering on the street, feeling that I might be sent back to the abyss. It feels like yesterday."
"I have always believed in you, and you will never be worse than anyone else." Alyosha drank a glass of bighorn sheep blood wine, his eyes sparkling: "I knew that my vision would not be wrong."
Andre couldn't help but smile: "Fortunately, I listened to Mr. Huang Jia's suggestion... At that time, I didn't know that he was a big shot."
"Who knows?" Alyosha licked the blood from the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect that he actually climbed Qianyuan Mountain alone. Even the masters over there, Tai Xi and Fa Hai, couldn't stop him. Would he?
Which god could it be? For example, Lord Wuji, or Lord Ju?"
The husband shook his head: "Don't guess. Nowadays, the streets are full of men with beards, all of them exercising to make their muscles strong. This is also the custom and trend left by Mr. Huang Jia... It was not like this at all before.
.”
While the couple was chatting, there was a knock on the door from behind.
The visitor is a young apprentice of the Temple Order.
Sweating profusely, he handed Andre a letter: "Please check the latest order from the Temple Association. I'm leaving first, and I have to go to the next scholar's house."
Andre opened the varnish and fell silent after reading the official letter inside.
"What's wrong?" Alyosha asked cautiously when he saw that his husband's expression was wrong.
Andre put away the letter: "The temple will be selected. I will be one of the core scholars supporting the Resurrection Kingdom. I will lead the mage team to build the mage tower there."
"Resurrection Kingdom?"
Alyosha wiped his lips with a handkerchief, and his face was filled with joy: "I heard that Prophet Maocao... No, Mr. Maocao needs some manpower, and he wants elites from various industries. Dear Andre
, you have been recognized by the apostles and prophets this time!"
"..."
Andre sighed: "Alyosha, the Resurrection Kingdom is caught in a war."
"Ah? Can you refuse? It would be too dangerous to fight." The wife was surprised.
"Of course not. This is a call and an honor."
There was a hint of helplessness and desolation in Andre's smile: "What I'm worried about is not what's going on over there, but you. This time, I don't know when I will be able to return. I'm really an incompetent husband."
Alyosha frowned.
She pursed her lips and suddenly her eyes lit up: "I'll go with you! When the war comes, doctors will definitely be needed. I'm a doctor with many years of experience. They can use me there. I can apply and go."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just do it, Alyosha immediately went to the temple meeting with Andre and expressed his willingness to support in the past. Originally the temple meeting disagreed, but
At the joint request of the couple and considering their separation, Prophet Longji finally made an exception and agreed.
…
Arriving at the Resurrection Empire, Andre could clearly feel the tense atmosphere here.
There are patrolling skeleton soldiers everywhere, and skeleton knights ride bone horses one by one, shuttling through the city borders, constantly delivering news from far away.
The support personnel of the Yao tribe are all concentrated in the royal city, in the safest place. There are two official teams here, one is the mage team, and the other is the ghost team.
The mages built the mage tower as a sentry tower and fortress at the outskirts of the kingdom; the ghosts began to build a ghost lighthouse to accommodate ghosts and serve as a high platform to transmit messages.
The two teams complement each other, and the mage tower serves as the protection of the ghost lighthouse. Its essence is to provide technical support to the Resurrection Kingdom.
The enemy has never appeared, but the clouds of war have not dissipated. The huge Resurrection Kingdom is in a state of war readiness, and the slightest disturbance will arouse fear in everyone's hearts.
Andre was stationed outside [Ken City] and saw it with his own eyes several times.
One day, a strange heavy fog appeared in the sky, which did not dissipate until the sun rose.
The skeleton ancestors in the farmland were so frightened that they shouted: "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming! Hurry and take cover!"
They were so frightened that they ran back and hid behind the mage tower.
The skeleton knights led the skeleton soldiers to stand ready, set up a tight defense line, and faced off against the fog until the afternoon. It was not until the fog completely dissipated that the temporary war readiness was lifted.
Another time, a group of electric wolves rushed towards the farmers like crazy. This was something that had never happened before after the kingdom wiped out the surrounding areas. Most of the electric wolves lived with their tails between their legs, and would take a detour or escape when they saw the skeleton soldiers.
But this time, the lightning wolves ignored them and ran across the farmland at high speed. They looked crazy and did not attack the farmers.
The Bone Ancestors were frightened.
"The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming, even the Lightning Wolf is running away!"
"Run, run!"
The scene became chaotic again.
After an investigation by the army, it was discovered that this group of electric wolves had eaten a mad cow and contracted the mad disease, so they were abnormal.
…
Andre once asked Maocao: "Sir, who is the enemy of the Resurrection Kingdom?"
"have no idea."
But the apostle gave an answer that he didn't expect at all.
"This is a war preparation order issued by the title god [Messenger of the Gods]. The God of Martyrdom has announced a formal order. The entire kingdom is on wartime alert. The enemy may attack at any time..."
"What I can tell you is that the Messenger Master is facing a powerful enemy that can strike at the world level. The Twin Snakes Empire has been attacked by the enemy, and two cities have been turned into ruins."
"You must be extremely careful on the front line and protect yourselves."
Andre sweated when he heard this.
Confrontation between titular gods.
In this war, I don’t know if I and Alyosha can go back alive.
"Don't worry."
Maocao seemed to have seen through his inner thoughts. The cat-like apostle said calmly: "There is guidance from Lord Yao in the temple. I will guard here so that you can return safely. As long as there is still a Yao.
If my family stays in this world and needs help, I will not leave."
…
The turbulent situation continues, and the Bone Ancestors are all very nervous.
The army is also constantly training civilians to learn how to escape immediately and protect their own safety. As a result, the Bone Ancestors thought it was an enemy attack and subconsciously ran away when something went wrong.
Andre also has a hard time commenting on this.
He just stood on the mage tower to ensure that everything in the tower was stable and could cover and radiate the surrounding area so that he could contain the unknown enemies during their first round of attack and buy time for the civilians to escape.
In fact, the army led by the Skeleton Knight has been patrolling everywhere.
But no one knows where the enemy will appear from. It may be in the sky, in the water, underground, or even appear out of thin air like mist.
This is something that even a martyrdom god cannot judge.
Two apostles, Theodore and Appia, also often came to the front line. Compared with the expressionless soldiers, the two apostles were always worried.
Andre didn't care about this.
He has become accustomed to the pressure of war in the abyss.
The same goes for Alyosha.
Not only the two of them, the Yao people on business trips are generally very relaxed.
Apart from work, mages and ghosts spend their free time playing tribal war chess together, playing a local game called "Bone Fighting" with herdsmen, and having a barbecue party in the evening.
The biggest benefit of the Resurrection Kingdom is that there is a lot of meat here. The ancestors of the White Bones do not need food and can eat whatever they want. The Yao team also continues to comfort the local civilians, teaching them Yao writing and more knowledge, so that they can be more ignorant by reducing their ignorance.
Face and adapt to fear well.
Here, Andre made a special friend.
Undead warrior Charles.
Charles is the ambassador here from Inu City, responsible for the trade between Inu City and the kingdom, but most of the time he will stay in [Ken City] and write the historical records of the Resurrection Kingdom from the perspective of a foreigner.
"War may come at any time, and historical records become even more important. I must write down everything that still exists here, so that future generations will know the territory, cities and environmental features of the kingdom."
Charles has a serious sense of mission, which Andre admires very much.
This undead warrior is very particular about details. He will inquire in detail about the size of bricks in the city, personally measure the length and width of farmland, and ask Andre to help him make detailed sketches of the working appearance of the skeleton ancestors.
Since Andre is a professional scholar, painting is also a basic skill, so he and Charles gradually became familiar with each other.
"Mr. Charles, do you think this war will start? When will it start?"
"War is always on the way, Andre, don't think of it as a burden of fear, think of it as an opportunity."
Charles, who had experienced hundreds of battles, had a red light in his eyes. He held a charcoal in his hand and said: "In Dog City, every war means that we will either perish or become stronger. Don't be afraid of war, because war is the same as death."
, it will always exist and appear, it just depends on when.”
