Chapter 320

Although the weather of Rongguang main plane has not changed much, it is still cold in winter.

But in the dawn City, this year's winter seems much warmer than usual.

It is not only because the new urban area has blocked a certain amount of cold wind, but also the sufficient material supply.

All the residents were at ease, there was no starving winter house, and everyone was very comfortable.

Including 50000 new residents.

The refugees who were plundered to the dawn city in the cold winter moon never thought that there was such a magical city where they could provide free accommodation, even land and jobs for them.

There is no oppression, no nobles who regard the common people as lowly lives, and there is no underground force that extorts and extorts them endlessly...

all this is like a dream.

Especially in the mouth of the old residents, they heard all kinds of magical legends about the city, such as Cyclops, orcs, dwarfs, goblins, bone dragons, centaurs...

they also saw all kinds of incredible alchemy creations.

This strange city ruled by vampires, with its powerful charm, has shaken them in a short time. Many people even feel that this city gives them a sense of belonging more than the city ruled by human aristocrats.

It is a sense of belonging that is respected as human beings. Here, they are no longer the lowly life that can be abandoned and oppressed at will, but the people who can breathe freely.

The only difference from the security atmosphere in the city is that the military alert of dawn city started in late November and lasted until after the winter, and there was no sign that the situation would stop.

But the residents didn't have much worry because the elders of the Holy Light clan said they were developing a dangerous but extremely rich land.

As long as the Lord of Cachar is there, there will be no danger.

All of us are extremely firm in this belief.

And when the wheels of the city of dawn roll forward, there is always a splash of spray.

Anthony shook his thick black cotton coat, exhaled a long white mist, and headed for the food store under the jurisdiction of the logistics department in the cold wind.

Today, he is going to buy some fresh mutton, because Uncle Jack likes it very much.

Although it is the tail of the cold winter month at the end of February, the temperature still shows no sign of warming.

In the heavy snow, the old busy streets are now thin. Anthony's thick cotton padded clothes keep the snowflakes away. It seems that the cold has nothing to do with him.

Feet on the ground has fallen thin snow creak sound, Anthony at this time to some treasure this rare sound.

Because after a while, the logistics personnel and the mages will use magic to clear the streets of snow. The main streets of this dawn city will not be covered with snow.

This kind of thing is almost impossible to happen in human cities outside. How can the master master master of MAGE remove snow for lowly civilians in cold winter?

But in this city, it seems that all this is normal.

Thinking of this, Anthony could not help but feel proud, because he is also a member of the city.

Praise the goddess, praise the great Lord cachal!

Yu Guang looked at the colorful flags and colorful flowers on both sides of the street, and his mood was very happy.

Although it has been two months since dawn, the festive atmosphere seems to have never left the city.

Thinking of the break of dawn, Anthony unconsciously put on a smile, because in this beautiful festival, he met a beautiful girl, a girl who touched his heart.

Although the two are still just ordinary friends, Anthony feels like a cuckoo in spring when he meets a newly blooming mahogany flower.

At this time, he could not help but shout in his heart to praise the Lord of Cachar!

Because dawn Festival is a festival set by the Lord of Cachar in order to honor the residents of the city of dawn, he was lucky to see the Lord of Cachar announce it at the beginning of the day.

A scene in that epic was almost a scene he would never forget in his life.

Now he met the light of his life at this festival. Maybe he was the lucky one who was blessed by the Lord of Cachar.

As the oldest group of residents, having witnessed the dawn Festival, this has become Anthony's proudest conversation with dwarves in the pub.

Of course, this also can't help mentioning that he participated in the hero selection contest, ranked 205, only narrowly into the top 200, becoming a glorious deeds of the Holy Light blood clan.

Dong ~ Dong ~ Dong ~

the sudden ringing of the bell tower on Cross Street interrupted Anthony's thoughts. At this time, he regained his mind and looked at the magic lights with warm lights around him, as well as the residents who were talking and laughing back and forth under the heavy snow.

It was his third winter in dawn city.The first winter came, and everything seemed so empty in this magnificent city.

There are no pedestrians on the street, there are no shops on the street, and even the spire bell tower on the cross street is junk that can't make sound.

It's not too much to call it a wilderness.

However, by the second winter, the dawn city has undergone earth shaking changes,

shops have begun to appear on both sides of the street. The pedestrians on the road are not rare, and life is getting better at a speed visible to the naked eye. They can even eat pig meat from the farm and tap water, a magical alchemy creation.

And now in the third winter, this hopeful city has fundamentally changed. It is a new, great city full of opportunities and without oppression.

Everything here was so charming that Anthony felt that he would not give up living in the city even if he was given a baron or something outside.

Because there is everything he dreams of, and the girl in a long skirt...

and before dawn day this year, after the adults of Shengguang blood clan brought back more than 50000 new residents, this city with a population of 100000 is even more lively.

The data was published on the bulletin board by the city hall, and he was shocked to see the data.

Anthony couldn't help admiring the thought.

Those new comers are lucky to be able to live directly into the new city that has just been built.

Those brand-new houses not only have a complete set of living measures, but also many people can see the moon lake directly when they open their doors.

It's a group of lucky people who are praised by the gods.

Creak ~ creak ~

the crushed ice crumbles make a crisp sound. Anthony in his black coat walks through the long street to the grain store not far from dawn square.

There are five grain stores managed by the logistics department, which are evenly distributed in various residential areas of dawn city.

But only the grain store, which was first opened and located in the most prosperous downtown area, could sell mutton. This is also the reason why Anthony didn't buy it at home, but ran so far away.

Looking at the closed wooden door, Antony pushed the door forward and entered. Gee, the warm breath from the room drove his chill away.

The room is very spacious, even can easily accommodate 50 or 60 people.

The floor is a wood floor painted with dark paint. There are dozens of shelves in the spacious space, on which there are various kinds of grain, most of which are packed in big bags. Grain stores rarely sell a few pounds or a small amount of food, most of which are sold in tens of pounds or hundreds of pounds.

Due to the close of dusk and heavy snow, only three or five people in the spacious room were buying food, and the remaining ten were staff.

The fireplace on the right side of the grain store is burning charcoal. The red charcoal fire looks so lovely in winter.

Two special fire watch staff have been keeping pace to prevent accidents.

The surrounding houses have been treated by the masters of the dawning mage tower, which can prevent the cold air from entering and retain the warmth brought by burning charcoal.

Anthony took a few deep breaths of warm air, and the white fog that would appear outside the house was no longer visible.

"Hello, Mr. Anthony. What kind of food do you need today?"

A clean looking worker in a black and white uniform approached and politely asked.

Anthony looks at the other party and smiles. "Qili, why are you so polite today?"

The young man across the face hung a thick smile, "this is our standard service ah, in the future to come to the grain store to buy goods, we must serve well."

Antony shook his head and laughed. "What's new with your steward from lissel?"

The young man named Qili looked behind him and made sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then he relaxed and whispered with a smile.

"Yes, but this time is a good thing. If I am satisfied with my service, I can give us additional satisfaction evaluation. If I accumulate some favorable comments, I can get a reward ~

Anthony, please help me later..."

Anthony turned his eyes and laughed, "is that a bad evaluation for you will be punished?"

Curie looked at Anthony strangely.

"Did you peek at our system?"

"And peeking?"

"It must be, otherwise how can you guess..."

just as they were joking, the wooden door behind them was pushed open again.

A tall figure with a serious face and full body armor walked into the grain store.

Step ~ step ~

the military boots make a crisp sound on the wooden floor.

Qili saw that the visitor's face changed, and immediately went forward to receive him respectfully.

"Good day, Lord Ollie. Welcome to come. Please come inside..."On hearing this, Anthony turned his head and looked at the old man immediately. His black body armor made him look very dignified. His short hair was like a steel needle. His young face in his early twenties showed the dignity of the superior who did not match his age.

Anthony recognized the man in a flash.

Ollie, the head of the dawn wing appointed by the Lord of Cachar, is in charge of a thousand troops.

The legend of Ollie is almost a household name in the city of breaking through.

And almost all the old residents are proud of it.

Because Ollie stood out from the hero selection competition, and he was the real saint light blood clan adult who came out of his residents.

He is the object of worship of almost all young people, and the experience of each other is too inspiring.

"Lord Ollie."

Anthony came forward with a slightly cautious expression. He knew Ollie and even had a conversation with each other even when he was not in charge of the dawn wing.

But at the moment, he did not dare to treat each other as insipid as before.

This is one of the most famous people in the dawn city. Every word and action can change the fate of countless people.

As the only two crazy believers of dawn sect, Ollie's status has reached an extreme after becoming the person in charge of dawn wing.

But because of his personality, the crazy believer did not feel proud. Seeing Anthony's question mark, his face softened a little and nodded to them.

"Good day, Killy,

good day, your excellency Anthony."

Anthony's face was a little flattered when he heard Ollie call his name.

This kind of big man is not comparable to his status, but I didn't expect that he just had a few conversations before, and could be remembered by the other party.

Just wanted to continue talking for a few words, but to his disappointment, the big man seemed to have an urgent matter and had no interest in chatting. After talking with Qili for a few words, he went directly to the back hall which was not external.

He seems to have mentioned another big man in his conversation with Kiley, the head of logistics.

Anthony did not dare to disturb, but watched the other party leave.

After Qili left, another idle and flustered staff member received him.

Anthony smiles and talks to the staff, but his heart is irresistible.

He used to stand on the same track with the other side in the hero selection contest, and there was no big difference between them.

But now, this young man, who is seven or eight years younger than him, is no longer comparable to him.

He was also an ordinary farmer. He did some small business on weekdays. Although he had a good life, he was obviously not at the same level as his counterpart, and even could not be described as poor weather or land.

After buying the mutton, Antony lingered in the store for a while. Yu Guang looked at the back hall behind the counter, which was blocked by the door. After a long time, there was no movement.

Just as he was ready to leave with all his heart lost.

A conversation from the back hall stopped him.

"Brother rickle, I'll trouble you with this."

"It's OK. This time the king's blade is expanding, and the dawn wing is going to expand the army together? You're busy at this time

"Yes, the dawn wings also need to absorb new blood. In order to protect the glory of the dawn, we must have stronger power..."

step on step ~

with two voices coming from the back hall, the familiar footstep sound appears again.

Yiya ~ the door of the back hall opens, and a bigger and bigger figure appears with Ollie in front of Anthony.

Ray Kerr, logistics minister, Anthony naturally recognized the big man of this dawn city. When he first arrived at dawn City, he also received relief food from the other party.

"Brother rickle, I'm going back first."

"Well, I'll have a drink when I'm done."

The two people did not talk much and did not care about others. The residents who came to buy food in the house saw two big people subconsciously lowering the voice of the conversation. Neither of them dared to disturb them.

After Ollie left, raker took a look at the room, didn't say much, and turned back to the back room.

Anthony saw this scene can not help but be more lost, now he even has no qualification to talk with these two big people.

At this time, Qili, who led the way for Ollie, came to Anthony from the back hall.

"Monsieur Anthony, have you heard? The king's blade will be expanded again, and dawn wing will also recruit air force!

It's wonderful.

It is said that every soldier who becomes a magic language Knight will be valued by the Lord of Cachar, and will have the opportunity to go out to fight for the dawn city and build up meritorious service!

Glory and dawn accompany us, guard our homeland with the sword in our hand, we will become the sharp blade in the enemy's throat!Is this a declaration of War I've thought of? Anthony, what do you think? "

Excited, strange force seems to find a person to talk to, did not give Anthony a chance to talk.

"I swear to the Lord of Cachar that I will take part in this conscription.

I don't want to be an ordinary person carrying grain in the grain store forever. I want to fight for the Lord of Cachar, for the blood of the holy light, for the city of dawn! "

Looking at the light in the eyes of a freckled young man in his early twenties, Anthony was touched again.

The king's blade, the army set up by the Lord of Cachar, is the guardian of the dawn city and a soldier that every resident is proud of.

The reverence of incomparable status.

He had a chance to be one of them, but...

thinking of this, Anthony's inner reluctance became more and more strong.

He could have, he could have!

"Am I going to continue my ordinary life?

To be a protected, watching my friend outside bleeding for us, while I pretend I don't see anything

Anthony looked at the vision on Killy's face, his hands quietly clenched a few minutes, he is now just an ordinary farmer, a small business businessman.

If there is no accident, he can even see his future at a glance.

Because his father spent his whole life in the same way.

"Mr. Anthony, I'm busy first. After that, I can go to the city hall to sign up earlier ~

it is said that registration has to go through a very strict screening and investigation. If I go late, I may delay the progress. If I have passed the registration time, I can only wait for the next time."

Looking at the figure of Qili leaving happily, Anthony opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally he sighed quietly and did not speak again.

Carrying the mutton that had just paid for tongpuke, he turned and pushed open the heavy wooden door. A cold wind was blowing his face, and the cold water poured into the clothes along the collar.

Anthony's moment was exciting and his mind was clear.

Looking ahead, there are already casters in mage's robes clearing the snow in the street.

The huge mage's hand was transformed into a spade. When several casters walked, the mage's hand was shoveling the ground. It looked like walking in idle space.

Because it was near dusk, coupled with the cold weather, there were not many pedestrians on the street. Anthony walked on the street, inexplicably complicated.

Especially when I saw a patrol team in British armor passing by, and the look of respect in the eyes of the surrounding residents, it was even more unpleasant.

Click ~ Click ~

trample on the small ice and walk slowly back to the residential area along the warm magic lights on both sides of the street.

Back downstairs, Anthony looked up and sighed at the candlelight rising from the second floor window.

On the second floor, it was the residence assigned to him and Uncle Jack by the city hall. It had two bedrooms and a living room. It was very nice to live in.

Step up the stairs and knock on the white painted door.

A moment later, the door opened, and an old man in black cotton padded clothes with gray hair and wrinkled face appeared.

Anthony reached out and motioned for the bag in his hand and laughed, "Uncle Jack, I bought your favorite mutton."

For the old man who met at the orc border and came to dawn city together, Anthony really regarded each other as his own family.

"Come in, it's snowy outside." With a smile, Jack reached out to open the door, and when Anthony came in, he closed it again to cut off the cold snow.

"Uncle geek, when I was buying meat, I heard Lord Ollie of dawn wing say that they are about to expand their army.

I really envy those young guys... "

hearing this, Jack frowned, and his muddy eyes showed some complexity.

"Anthony, isn't life good enough now? Why do you always want to join the army?

The danger of the battlefield is far beyond your imagination. No one can guarantee to live to the next second and cherish your life. "

Anthony grinned carelessly, reached out and put the mutton on on the round table in the corner. Then he turned on the tap and washed his hands. He felt the coolness of his hands and went to the fireplace to bake the charcoal fire.

"Uncle Jack, I'm still young, and I don't want to be a farmer or a small businessman all my life here."

Speaking of this, Anthony turned to look at the approaching jack, the other side's wrinkled face now more and more old.

"If not to take care of you, I might have joined the army in the last recruitment."

Jack curled his lips and said scornfully, "well, you think I didn't know you signed up? It's just because they didn't pass the examination. "

Anthony smiles awkwardly, and then there is some loss in his eyes."Yes, I failed the examination."

Looking at Anthony's dismal expression of dead relatives, Jack shook his head, and his weathered black eyes were still muddy.

"Why are you so indifferent? Anthony, to be an ordinary person, to be able to live a stable life has been the biggest luck.

It's a life that even the gods have to envy.

Life in dawn city is so good that if the common people outside know what you have now, there will be countless people envious of you.

You have enough now. There's no need to change.

And there's no shortage of you in dawn city. "

Anthony shook his head.

"Uncle geek, that's why I want to be a soldier guarding the dawn city.

All that we have now is given to us by the dawn City, and it is the Lord of Cachar who is protecting us with his power.

If everyone is your idea, then who will guard the dawn city?

Will we go back to the kind of vagrant life that we don't know what to eat tomorrow? "

Jack looked at Anthony for a moment, then shook his head.

"This is what the Lord of Cachar needs to think about, not what you should think about..."

"no, Uncle Jack," Anthony retorted, "dawn city is the dawn city for all the residents, and each of us has to contribute our own strength.

I don't want to be a weak coward

Looking at Anthony's excited expression, Jack was silent.

After a long time, Anthony's mood eased a lot.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Jack. I just watched my friends fighting for dawn city and all of us, but I couldn't help it..."

"Anthony, it's very painful to be a soldier. Are you really ready?" The expression on Jack's face became solemn.

"You will watch your comrades die in battle, and your brothers will die for you to block the enemy's sword.

even you will kill some unarmed innocent people under the military order. You will pass by the death every day, and you will be the executioner and butcher that everyone hates!!

You'll live in a cloud of war and death that you'll never escape.

Are you ready? "

Anthony was shocked at this, but after a moment's silence, he took a deep breath.

"Uncle Jacques, I will never shrink back from dawn."

The tone is resolute and resolute, with the determination that no one can shake.

He had been waiting for another persuasion from Jack, only to find that there was a rare appreciation on his face.

"Anthony, you are so much like me when I was young, just as determined, as brave, and just as... Gifted."

"Uncle Jack..." Anthony is still very happy in front of him, but the talent behind makes him very sad.

"Talent is not irreparable, but only a firm and kind heart is the most precious treasure in the world.

Anthony, I see the light I want in you

At this time, the tone of Jike had never been before. This old man with gray hair and even muddy eyes, his thin body slightly raised his chest, and his hands were behind him.

"It's a firm belief to break dawn.

And this city ruled by vampires is the only city I've seen over the years that can afford to be a faith.

I hope that when you have a strong power, you still don't forget your heart.

I'm old, very old, so old that I can't carry a soldier's sword now. I can't live for a few cold winter months.

Maybe it's time to find a successor who can inherit the heart of fearlessness...

looking at the old man who is completely different from the past, Antony still has some problems.

In particular, the momentum rising from the other side made him even feel that he was facing an adult dragon, and the other party could devour him at any time.

Is this the old man who has been living with him for two years, feeding cattle to the fields every day?

"Uncle Jack, are you?"

"Anthony, come with me."

There was something sharp like a falcon's light in Jack's turbid eyes.

Turn around and enter your bedroom.

Anthony was stunned, keenly aware that Jack seemed to have something important to say to him.

Stand up, suppress the heart of surprise and complexity, step by step with Jack into the bedroom.

After entering the bedroom, Jack, under Anthony's gaze, finds a long object wrapped in rags from under the bed.

Then, sitting on the bed, like a pilgrimage, slowly lifted the long cloth with great solemnity.Anthony's eyes were full of curiosity

"Uncle Jack, this is......"

Jack ignored him and opened the cloth layer by layer.

Until the last floor opens.

A long cross sword with a deep sheath appeared in the air.

Simple atmosphere, full of traces of time scouring.

The handle of the sword is carved with colorful Luan tail flowers. The flower extends from the handle to the whole black scabbard, which makes people feel the beauty of the sword at a glance.

Anthony was even more surprised.

Jack turned his head and looked at him in a tone that no one could understand.

"This is the fearless sword that has followed me all my life, and it is the only inheritance of the heart of fearlessness.

When holding the sword, you will have a fearless heart.

Courage will last with you, and faith will become your strength. "

Fearless??

Anthony was dazed at the address.

"Uncle Jack, fearless? Is it good? "

"Very good?" Jack shook his head.

"The heart of fearlessness is the name of our profession. In ancient times, it made the whole subject tremble."

"Then why don't you hear that now?"

"Because the ancestors fought in the front line of resisting the invasion of the abyss... All the fearless hearts were killed, leaving only a very limited inheritance.

And the sword in my hand is the fearless sword that has been handed down for millions of years. It has preserved all the heritage of the heart of fearlessness.

Anthony, I'm old and I can't fight with the sword any more. Your performance has won my approval in the past two years.

Now, I want you to carry on your fearlessness.

The world can be without me, but can not lack the heart of fearlessness.

This city is also worthy of the protection of fearless heart. "

Looking at the solemn old man in front of him, Anthony was stunned.

The next day, at dawn city's Army recruitment, a figure holding a long cross sword stepped into the long line of the recruitment office.
