It was shipped, but unfortunately the picture is not very good. This relic seems to be produced suddenly during the first impact, that is, after Mana first contacted reality, a drastic change occurred. The people inside died instantly before they realized it. up. (Looks like it should be a city in the past)

Dig up batch after batch.These cyan transparent substances are like amber, condensing the contents inside.Thanks to this, we even saw the daily necessities of ancient humans, which is not much different from the present.Humanity is really in decline, and there has been no major innovation for so many years.

Well, although they are all ancient people who have passed away, it is interesting that the detection unit indicates that one of them still has a weak consciousness.

3622.12.24

It's time to call it a day, and I finally went back before the year.

---------

An unremarkable archaeological diary, but according to the notes behind, Lorraine Hill understood that the one excavated from this ruin was himself.

But what happened later, according to the records of the project research and development team leader, when he was sealed up, he didn't have a body yet, and it was still in 3918.

According to the records in the data, after the meteor shower, a special substance, Mana, began to appear in this world.

This magical existence is like a bridge or a catalyst, connecting the consciousness of living beings with the energy and matter of nature.In this way, there is a basis for changing reality with spirit.

In the beginning, this effect only appeared on a very small group of people, and the extraordinary ability at that time was also very weak, at most it was used to ignite fire, and it was impossible to fight against thermal weapons.

Later, with the deepening of research, human beings have summed up the law.

If the scattered mana is a small glass bead, then the consciousness of a creature sends out specific waves to the outside world through this glass bead, thereby manipulating reality.

But what I want to explain is that this phenomenon is really too weak, just like gravity, it is usually not noticeable at all, and it only appears in a small number of special people who have undergone mutations.

But creatures are smart, and they gradually select and exploit this phenomenon.So they collected the mana and arranged them neatly one by one to form a tight and consistent structure.In this way, only a part of it needs to be pushed, and it can spread outward like dominoes.

In this way, the creature has a more powerful ability to affect reality.And this structure is also known as the extraordinary core.

Once the most basic and solid foundation is laid, the construction of tall buildings becomes extremely fast.

Mana is the most basic and flexible block, and the built-up spiritual sub-sequence is also what humans are most adaptable to and good at.That is to make the extraordinary core into one's own personal AI, or computing manipulation device.

With the guidance of the spiritual sub-sequence, human beings can easily drive extremely complex machines, quickly process and calculate various problems, and the efficiency of learning and memory is unprecedentedly improved.

It is also because of this that after humans stepped out of the ground again, they soon entered an era of vigorous development.

Although the ground still has rich mana, messy magic power, rampant beasts and insects, the sky is still covered by dim, yellowish clouds.But above the distant clouds, mana is rare here, the human body will not feel uncomfortable, and the air is cleaner.

That is to say, in such an environment, human beings gradually abandon the ground and build their own kingdoms above the clouds.Cities, islands, airships, etc., rely on the anti-gravity circle to hang high in the air.

The past and the new, the earth and the sky, the two worlds are separated by floating clouds. This is the 'twilight era' in countless dust records.

Chapter 1 First Arrival at the Royal Capital

After knowing the truth of the world, Lorraine Hill felt extremely unreal.It was as if everything was like a big dream, and it was only now that he was barely waking up.

In the middle of the night, she was sitting at the desk, writing with a pen under the bright yellow light, summarizing the things in her mind.

After a long time, I put down my pen, walked to the window sill, and breathed the cool air by the window.

Although the words in the record seem to be just yesterday, in fact this is an extremely distant past, so far away that there is no shadow of past civilization on the land today.

Even if a small number of people survived in human civilization, today's society and the world should not be like this.

but.

Before the first era, it was a barbaric age, when dragons and giants fought for supremacy, then elves, orcs, and then humans.Time has passed far too long.So much so that people now can only grope to develop a new civilization.

Although it is not clearly stated in the system, the dark place and various side materials indicate that human beings in the past have embarked on a road of extinction, which is inseparable from the road of Aijiaka developed in the late twilight era.

It is also because of this that there is no specific information about the road of the Ejac Card left in the system, as if it was deliberately erased by someone, and I don't want 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 Clancia is, have they encountered new difficulties, are they moving forward according to their ideals, and will they do it? Will they become the ushers of the next era of mankind?

All in all, the desire to seek knowledge grows like weeds.

--------

A week later, Crancia, the capital of Solander.

The towering city wall is more than ten meters high, and there are endless crowds of people under the wide city gate, some of them are pushing carts, some are carrying things, and this time 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 were maintaining order. They were wearing neat armor and holding spears in their hands, maintaining order.

Most of the people who entered the city at this time were farmers from the villages around the capital, and they would transport their fresh vegetables to the city and sell them at a good price.

A girl wearing a light brown coat, with a hood covering her hair and face, also walked among them.A pair of smart pupils under the hood are looking at the people and things around with a little curiosity.

This slender girl is our protagonist, Lorraine Hill. She didn't fly directly into the city this time, or airborne the capital to cause a sensation. Instead, she walked from the vicinity of the capital to observe the current situation of the country step by step. .

The villages around Solander are well developed.

Even she can't be amazed by this. The fields on the land are like large square grids, which reflect different lights under the sunlight. Farmers are working in them, and the early stage of a good harvest gradually emerges.

Although the faces of those working were sweaty, there was vitality in their eyes, unlike the gloomy and lifeless eyes she saw two years ago when she left West Wind for Virga.

After some inquiries, she found out that Clancia had been vigorously cultivating farmland for the past two years.Every time new farmland is reclaimed, farmers get one-third of the ownership.This greatly stimulated the desire of the people to work.And domestic food production is also rising year by year.

Although the current grain production cannot be said to be completely sufficient, everyone has confidence in the future. It is only a matter of time.In a few years, the problem of eating can be completely solved.

"Hello, can I show you the proof?" The soldier in steel armor stretched out his hand to block the girl, causing her to pause and raise her head.

When it was Lorraine Hill's turn, she was stopped by the guards guarding the gate as expected.

"Hmm... May I ask what kind of proof it is?" The girl's voice was soft and pleasant, which made the soldier feel a lot better.

"It's to prove where you are from and what you want to do when you come to the capital of Solander." The soldier also explained patiently.

Lorraine Hill stepped aside to let the pedestrians behind him pass.

Maybe it's because my dress is rather special, the girl thought, this is not difficult to understand.Let her take off the hood, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble.

"Is this okay?" She thought for a moment, reached into her clothes, and took out a small badge from the storage space of the ring.This was what she asked Mira from the Rabbit Ear Tribe to help her prepare before she entered Emenes.

The badge is made of brass, and the main body presents the pattern of an open book, and there are two stars, one large and one small, on the edge.

"Student badge?" The soldier took the badge and turned over the back. The name 'Lorraine' was engraved on it, and the time of issuance was marked below it.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a registration." He held the badge and said a few words to the captain-like person, and then wrote the registration in the small room next to him.

"Okay, I'll return this to you. In addition, this badge of yours should have been issued two years ago, and it will expire in one year. It needs to be renewed by then."

"Then where can I update it?" the girl asked with interest.

"This depends on the school you are in. Generally, you will be replaced with a professional badge when you graduate. It will depend on what you do at that time. This will make it easier to go to various places and even buy some limited 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 is up to you."

The soldier showed a sunny smile.He is about 18-20 years old, and there are shallow scars on his neck. It seems that he has experienced war, and he is now doing his work meticulously here.

Although it was an ordinary sentence, Lorraine Hill felt a burst of warmth, she agreed with a smile, and then walked into this tall city with the crowd.

The avenue in the city is so spacious that about 8 carriages can travel side by side. After passing through the inner wall and city gate of nearly a hundred meters, the scenery in front of you is suddenly 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.Its styles and colors are colorful, and there are many styles that Lorraine Hill has also seen in Uberly.

Noisy hawking, talking, bargaining, footsteps, and animal neighing fill the streets, where you can see people of all kinds of clothing and races.

There are Wing girls with folded wings, orcs with big curved horns on their heads, elves with pointed ears and bows and arrows on their backs, and falcon knights with veils and sabers by their waists.

Some of them come here as guests and travelers, and some are merchants or mercenaries who come here to buy and sell things.

Various dialects and languages ​​are mixed in it, which is lively and prosperous.

"Extraordinary, extraordinary~" A 16-year-old newspaper boy waved a newspaper in the air. There were a lot of words printed on the thick stack of paper, and a little picture was mixed in, exuding the fragrance of ink.

"Frost Rose sent three golem legions to the north to display the border, with bad intentions! General Saige led the troops to the south, and the second recruitment of Krasia is about to begin."

Chapter 2 Encounters under the setting sun

The royal capital of Solander.

Lorraine Hill dined on the second floor of a restaurant with a bustling street downstairs.

The decoration of the restaurant is a bit quaint, and the wood carvings on the tables and chairs indicate that this restaurant should be some years old.The seats are also relatively tight, and the seats are basically full before the meal time.

Fortunately, Lorraine Hill was not in a hurry, so he chose a time slot with fewer people.At this time, there were not many guests on the second floor.

"Hello, what does this lady want to eat?" The waiter in the restaurant was a young man in his 20s, and he handed over a menu.

The girl looked at the dishes above, most of them were common ingredients, there were no rare ingredients, and the variety was far less abundant than Ubere's.

"Are these the only ones in the store?" It wasn't picky, but she wanted to know the living conditions in the capital today.

"Yes." Seeing that the girl seemed to be from other places, the waiter explained.

"Nowadays, the supply of ingredients in the capital is based on the quota. Even our restaurant has to go to the food department to get the corresponding receipt before buying ingredients, otherwise it will be illegal."

"Is it because of the lack of food, even the king's capital has reached this point?"

"There is barely enough food, but the state ordered that some of it be stored in case it is not needed, so I am a little nervous. This method was adopted in order to prevent waste and balance the supply."

"I see, I see." Lorraine Hill nodded.

While eating lunch, the girl also took the time to look at the dining situation of other guests, generally speaking.Solander's ingredients are not rich in variety, but the most basic vegetables and a small amount of meat are still available, and the price is not too high.For the rich, it may be a little uncomfortable, but for most ordinary people, it has little impact and the cost of living is not too high.

After eating, she continued to walk on the street, looking at the shops and pedestrians beside her.

Compared with Hoplander and Ubele, Solander deserves to be the capital of West Wind for nearly a thousand years. Most of the buildings here are tall and magnificent, and their style is majestic and grand.

There are no high-rise buildings on both sides of the street lower than 4 floors, and the commerce here is also extremely developed. Lorraine Hill even saw the familiar olive and shell patterns in the furniture store of Yag Tilling's family.
