The Dark King
Chapter 8 The Great Wall of Sylvia
Wei An's figure on the desk didn't look up, but just gave a soft hum.When the half-kneeling shadow on the ground saw the message, he respectfully clenched his fist and covered his chest, disappearing silently as when he came, leaving only a white letter paper on the desk.
After finishing his work, Wei An's eyes fell on the snow-white stationery, and his thick eyebrows were slightly raised. He opened it and briefly glanced, and he did indeed reach the passing line below the five scale. , Just about to put it down, suddenly my eyes narrowed and fell on the detection value at the bottom corner.
"0.8?" Wei An stared at the figure, looked at it for a while, put away the stationery, got up and put the coat on the coat rack at the door, and pushed the door open.
In the hall, the chubby middle-aged butler looked at the owner and was surprised: "Master, so late, are you going out?"
"Well." Wei An's figure commanded: "Prepare the car."

"Three hundred years ago, when natural disasters came to the world, our ancestors fought valiantly, relying on infinite wisdom and power, survived the adversity, and built this giant Sylvia wall to isolate the disaster from the wall, Shelter all future generations! The great wall of Sylvia is sacred and great, you must not blaspheme the giant wall, you know?" said a white-bearded old man on the podium solemnly.
Don't look at his white beard, in fact, he has just reached sixty years old, but here, this is already considered a long life.
Du Di'an listened attentively. Three days after he signed up, he officially started school. This is his first class today.The old man did not explain the law knowledge as soon as he came up, but briefly introduced some well-known things. It seems that the purpose is to come and get acquainted with the children and consolidate the beliefs in the children's hearts.As for the story of Sylvia’s Great Wall, as long as they are not orphans, almost every child has listened to their parents from countless times since childhood.
The other children were bored, but when they first saw the old man with a white beard, they were afraid of life and dared not make it.
Du Di'an listened with interest. These are exactly the things he wanted to know at the moment. Seeing that this old man seemed to be boring, he didn't mean to explain in depth. He raised his hands and asked: "Teacher, what is the natural disaster you said? "
The old man with white beard and other children froze for a moment, but he didn't expect Du Dean to be so bold and dare to take the initiative to ask questions, and there are still people who do not understand such well-known things.
The old man saw Du Dean's face serious and hopeful, he couldn't bear to crack down on the child's enthusiasm, but his heart was sullied. Didn't the child's parents tell him?But he smiled and replied: "There are many natural disasters, volcanic eruptions, floods swallowed, earthquakes split, etc."
Du Di'an was stunned and said in a determined way: "Is that all?"
The old man was a little speechless and said, "These disasters are already terrible. Haven't you heard your parents say that a volcanic eruption alone can kill countless people? You see the dark clouds in the sky. This is caused by the volcanic eruption. "
Du Dian frowned slightly and didn't say anything, but thought deeply in his heart, because he knew that the disaster three hundred years ago was not simply a natural disaster. Although all the disasters mentioned by the old man had happened, it was exploded by a nuclear bomb. What caused him to ask for it was to see what information those who survived left behind. Obviously, in the hands of these descendants, he did not know the true cause and the inside story of the disaster.
Perhaps the inside story is too scary, so it may be blocked by the ruler above.
"Teacher, my mother said that it is dangerous outside the giant wall, and you will die when you go out. Is this true?" A small fat man asked Du Dean and raised his hand with courage.
The old man looked away and said seriously: "Yes, there are demons and plagues outside the giant wall. Once we go out, we will never come back. We can sit here and learn, eat rice and vegetables, all of which are giant walls. Credit, so you have to respect the giant wall and the wall builder. This is as great a career as doctors and our law-abiding people!"
"Guidekeeper" refers to those who learn the law. Children who just learned the law, like Du Di'an, are called apprentices. If they graduate, they can pass the examination of the court and become a priest. It is a very sacred existence, as noble as the nobility, not only able to freely enter and exit commercial areas and residential areas, but also enter the inner wall area!
"The devil and the plague..." All the children were pale and scared. Even if they were young, they knew how terrible these two were.
There was a trace of curiosity in Du Di'an's heart. He didn't believe in the devil or something. Nuclear bombs baptized the world. Ninety-nine percent of the creatures were extinct. This is just a fabricated statement that threatens children.Of course, the target of intimidation may not only be children, but also adults.
This made him even more curious. What does the world outside of the giant wall look like, is it still covered with the debris of a nuclear bomb explosion?Or has it become a virgin forest because no one has developed it?
"Time is up, let's go to get out of class." The old man with a white beard looked at the hourglass and said.
The other children cheered immediately.
At this moment, two young men in black leather armor suddenly appeared at the door, and walked into the classroom unattended.The old man with white beard was about to speak, and suddenly noticed the black eagle-headed medals worn on their shoulders, his face suddenly piled up with a smile, and greeted him, "Is the two adults coming, did you take those children away?"
Du Di'an heard his ears erected, a little alert and puzzled.
One of the skinny young people nodded slightly, looked indifferent, and said meticulously: "Now I call the names, the people I mentioned, stand up, understand?" Cold eyes glanced across the audience, not because the object was a child soft.
All the children were immediately calmed down and nervous.The old man with a white beard calmly reassured: "Don't be nervous. These two adults are guards. Those named by them will hopefully join the public office. This is a great event."
Public office?Du Dean heard from Jula that in simple terms, it is equivalent to the civil servants of the old age, no longer have to worry about their livelihood for a lifetime, in this world is the dream job of many civilians.
However, Du Dean noticed the medals on the shoulders of these two men. When he entered the residential area from the slums, he did not see such medals on the guards. The standard leather armor was also different. Moreover, there is no reason for a guard in the district. It made a faculty member so awesome, which made a trace of doubt appear in his heart, and he watched quietly immediately.
"Rock!" the young black armor snorted.
A thin child on the table in front of Du Dien shivered, weakly said: "In..."
"Stand up!" the young black armor shouted.
The thin child jumped up in fright.
"Marta!"
"Yes!" A girl stood up quickly.
"Lamir!"
"Carly!"
The children were named up and the young people shouted, "Du Dean!"
Du Dian narrowed his eyes and slowly stood up.
There were eight children who were ordered, plus him.

Today, "Restart" wrote a large postscript chapter, which can be regarded as a supplement to the ending. At least the pits have been filled. It feels quite satisfactory. The new book will start two changes tomorrow, and it will rise!
