Under the Root

Chapter 1 Heaven's Fall

The time is the unknown era, and the place is the earth in the solar system.

This is a hyper-futuristic and hyper-ancient era.

Long, long ago in this world, human beings were almost extinct due to the intervention of some supernatural force.Sadly receding from the top position of the food chain.

Instead, there is a new race called demihumans, combining animal genes with human genes.

created race.

They were fortunate to have acquired some of humanity's heritage in an era when humanity lost its dominion.

With heritage and power beyond human flesh.

Survive tenaciously in this world.

And the original human beings.

is extolled as.

According to the legend, a person who established a high civilization like a god in the remote ancient times and ruled the land.

Even so, he was a legendary person who suddenly disappeared from the stage of history.

It is revered by the demihumans as a god.

Then, after more than a hundred years, the demihumans who were lucky enough to skip the Stone Age and the Bronze Age established a great empire on this lush land that was no less than any civilization before the 16th century.

The number of empires is two.

One is the old empire of Siberia located in old Russia, Yamato.It has been established for a hundred years, and it has unified several countries, and its technology is more advanced than other countries.As the "strongest" empire, its strength cannot be underestimated.

The second is located on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, the multi-Asian ethnic country Tuskul established in the former homeland of Japan. Although it has just gone through the war, it has recently unified its ministries under the intervention of a great man.Its war power is powerful, and it is a new empire like the rising sun.

The two countries are both quite large in size, but due to geographical and historical reasons, they do not understand each other.

This is not right.

Mutual ignorance represents the fear of the unknown.No matter the radical strategy or the conservative choice, the assistance of intelligence is indispensable.

Compared with the Imperial Yamato, which is a little dull because of its ancient times.The nascent empire, Tuskul, took the lead in realizing this.

Then sent their most honorable messengers.

Well, at least that's what the officials say.

"Ah, as expected of Yamato, even ordinary small villages are bigger than those at home."

In an unremarkable small village in Jiuzhongli, Yamato's dependent country.

There was a girl with an ostrich looking at everything around her curiously.

A beautiful face with a little childishness left, big ears... and a tail covered with white hair.

Whether from a human perspective or a demihuman perspective, the girl in front of her is a rare beauty.And this beauty is now yelling at the small village in front of her.

Although it is not the first time she has entered Yamato's village, she will be amazed every time she finds something new.

For example, in this village in the countryside, the scenery of the village with snow still remaining in some places is full of an atmosphere that does not seem to be rich, but life does not seem to be difficult.

In her hometown, this kind of small village is a bit poor compared to the ones here because the war has not subsided for too long.

Pulling the ostrich, the girl walked into this small village with ease.

We stopped in front of an old building with brightly colored cloth hanging from the eaves.

Those with this kind of door seal are all hotels, and the girls who have passed through many places in Yamato naturally know this little thing.

Passing through the gate, there is a vast space in front of you, and several plain dining tables lined up side by side that serve as both a cafeteria and a hotel.

After admiring the unique decorations around, the girl walked to a place that looked like a reception, and pulled the rope hanging there.

Ring ring ring.The bell rang.

So, she clearly heard the reply of "Come here" from a distance, and a woman with a good temper appeared after a while.

"Ala Ala, it's a strange guest. Do you want to stay here?" the woman said.

"That's right. I've traveled a long way to come here through the capital of Jiuzhongli, and I'm exhausted." The girl said with a smile, and then took out a bag of coins and put them on the table. "If possible, I would like to live here for a while."

"You're really a rich lady." Saying so, the proprietress happily accepted the money bag that Jiu Yuan handed over.Put it on the balance hanging under the counting room.

"Well, it's enough to live for nearly a month, round it up for you, how about a month?"

"Okay, thank you." The girl said happily.

"It's me who should say thank you. It's rare to see a tourist like you who lives in a hotel regularly. This has made me a lot of money." The proprietress replied.

"Ahaha. You are too polite." The girl touched the back of her head and said with a smile.

"You too, Miss. By the way, don't stay here, come with me to the room. I think you are tired after traveling for so long." Saying so, the proprietress took Jiu Yuan's hand and Walk towards a house that looks quite nice.

"Huh, I'm really a little tired." Plopping down the luggage behind her, the girl fell down on the quilt and said to herself.
