After knowing the truth about the world, Lorraine Hill had an extremely unreal feeling. It was as if everything was like a big dream, and now it was time to wake up.
Late at night, she sat at the desk, writing with a pen under the bright yellow light, summarizing and sorting out the things in her mind.
After a long time, I put down my pen, walked to the window sill, and breathed in the cool air by the window.
Although the words in the record seem to be just yesterday, in fact it is an extremely distant past, so far away that there is no trace of the past civilization on the earth today.
Even if a handful of people in human civilization had survived, today's society and world should not be like this.
But, no.
Before the first era, there was an ancient and barbaric era, with dragons and giants competing for supremacy, and then elves, orcs, and then humans. Time has passed for so long that people now can only groping and developing new ones.
civilization.
Although it is not explicitly stated in the system, dark places and various side information indicate that humans in the past have embarked on a path of extinction, which is inseparable from the Ayaka Road developed in the late Twilight Era.
Because of this, there is no specific information about the Path of Ajika left in the system, as if it was deliberately erased, not wanting it to be picked up again.
It's time to head to Crancia.
For some reason, this idea suddenly appeared in Lorraine Hill's mind. She suddenly wanted to know what the current situation of Crancia is like. Have they encountered any new difficulties? Are they moving forward according to their ideals? Will they do what they want?
If they make new choices, will they become the usher in the next era of mankind?
In everything, the desire to know grows like weeds.
-------------------
A week later, Crancia, the royal capital Soland.
The towering city wall is more than ten meters high, and under the wide city gate are people who are constantly coming and going. Some of them are pushing carts and some are carrying things. It is early in the morning, and the sun has just jumped out of the eastern horizon.
.
"Take your time, don't rush." The soldiers at the city gate maintained order. They were neatly dressed in armor and holding long spears in their hands to maintain order.
Most of the people entering the city at this time are farmers from the villages surrounding the royal capital. They will transport their fresh vegetables to the city and sell them at a good price.
A girl wearing a light brown coat, covering her hair and face with a hood, was also walking among them. Under the hood, a pair of smart eyes were looking at the people and things around her with curiosity.
This slender girl is our protagonist, Lorraine Hill. She did not fly directly into the city this time, or parachute into the capital to cause a sensation. Instead, she walked near the capital to personally observe the current situation of the country step by step.
.
The villages around Solander are very well developed.
Even she couldn't help but admire this. The fields on the ground were like large square grids, which reflected different lights under the sunlight. Farmers were working in them, and the beginning of the harvest gradually appeared.
Although there was sweat on the faces of those working people, there was a vitality in their eyes. They were not as gloomy and lifeless as she had seen two years ago when she left West Wind for Verga.
After some inquiring, she learned that Clansia had been vigorously reclaiming farmland in the past two years. Every time new farmland was reclaimed, farmers could obtain one-third of the ownership. This greatly stimulated the people's desire to work.
Domestic food production has also been increasing year by year.
Although the current food production cannot be said to be completely sufficient, everyone is confident about the future. This is just a matter of time. In a few years, the problem of eating will be completely solved.
"Hello, can you show me proof?" The soldier in steel armor stretched out his hand in front of the girl, asking her to pause and raise her head.
When it was Lorraine Hill's turn, she was stopped by the guard guarding the door as expected.
"Well...can I ask what kind of proof it is?" The girl's voice was soft and pleasant, which made the soldier feel much better.
"It's to prove where you are from and what business you have in the royal capital of Soland." The soldier also explained patiently.
Lorraine Hill stepped aside and let the pedestrians behind him pass.
Maybe it's because I'm dressed in a special way, the girl thought, it's not hard to understand. But if I ask her to take off her hood, I'm afraid it will cause even greater trouble.
"Is this okay?" She thought for a moment, put her hand into her clothes, and then took out a small badge from the storage space of the ring. This was the rice of the Rabbit Ears tribe that she had given her before enrolling in Emenes.
La helped him prepare.
The badge has a brass base, with the main body showing a pattern of an open book, and the edges are decorated with two stars, one large and one small.
"Student badge?" The soldier took the badge and turned it over to the back. The name 'Lorain' was engraved on it, and the time of issuance was also marked below.
"Wait a moment, I'll make a registration." He held the badge and said a few words to the man who looked like the captain, and then wrote the registration in a small room nearby.
"Okay, I'll give this back to you. I also want to mention that your badge should have been issued two years ago. It will expire in another year and needs to be renewed by then."
"Then where can I update?" the girl asked with interest.
"You have to check with your school for this. Generally, they will replace them with professional badges when you graduate. It will depend on what kind of work you do. This will also make it easier to access various places and even purchase certain limited edition products."
"Yeah, I understand, thank you." The girl lowered her head, revealing a short section of silver hair.
"You're welcome, that's it, come on, study hard, the future depends on you."
The soldier showed a sunny smile. He was about 18-20 years old, and there were shallow scars on his neck. It seemed that he had experienced war and was now doing his work meticulously here.
Although this was an ordinary sentence, Lorraine Hill felt a warmth. She agreed with a smile, and then followed the crowd into this tall city.
The streets in the city are extremely spacious, and about eight carriages can ride side by side. After passing through the nearly 100 meters of inner walls and city gates, the scenery in front of you suddenly becomes clear.
Light red, dark brown, and light yellow buildings decorate both sides of the street. On the first floor are various shops with different decoration styles. Some sell fruits, some sell clothes, and some sell daily necessities.
The styles and colors are colorful, and there are many styles that Lorraine Hill has seen in Ubere.
The streets are filled with noisy hawking sounds, conversations, price negotiations, footsteps, and neighing sounds of animals. Here you can see people of all kinds of clothes and races.
There are girls from the Wing Clan who retract their wings, there are orcs with big curved horns on their heads, there are elves with pointed ears carrying bows and arrows, and there are also falcon knights wearing veils and carrying sabers at their waists.
Some of them come here as guests and travelers, and some are merchants or mercenaries who come here specifically to buy and sell things.
Various dialects and languages are mixed together, making it lively and prosperous.
"Wei Hao Wei~" A newspaper boy about 16 years old held up a newspaper and waved it in the air. The thick stack of paper was printed with a large number of words, mixed with a few pictures, and exuded bursts of the fragrance of ink.
"Frost Rose has sent three golem legions northward to display on the border, with evil intentions! General Sage is leading his troops southward, and Krasia's second recruitment is about to begin."
