MTL - He is From Great Sea of Stars-Chapter 53 descendants of god
This is a hierarchical world.
slave. civilian. noble. Protoss. god.
Layer by layer, the line is clearly defined, and the lower ranks can never cross that line.
This world has been attacked by alien meteorites, and many abnormal creatures have entered. Until now, the whole world has been divided into two parts.
Half inhabited by natives, half inhabited by alien creatures.
For more than 100 years, there have been continuous wars, wars, and countless casualties on the front line. The peaceful life that once existed no longer exists.
But for many civilians, entering the army, by accumulating military merit, obtaining promotion opportunities, and then upgrading to nobles, is the only chance for the carp to leap through the dragon gate.
Of course, there is another way, and that is school.
When you reach the age of six, you can pass the test of mental strength and physical strength, and obtain the qualifications for applying for the school of the corresponding level. And then through the experience of applying for the school, you can enter the school.
Once out of the high school, no matter how bad it is, it is still a low-ranking officer, and it will be easier for the commoners to obtain the status of nobles.
Of course, there is one more point.
High school tuition is not cheap.
Often a commoner is admitted to a senior school and needs the help of the whole family and neighbors to collect the tuition required for school.
And Huo Xingchao.
He's an outlier on the common street.
At the age of six, he passed the test, with a level of mental power and A level of physical strength, and met the qualifications for the Imperial School.
Then, during the training process, he successfully entered the top 100 freshmen and was assigned to Class A.
The Imperial School is the best school in Tia, and Class A is the best class in the Imperial School except for the S special class.
One year's tuition, plus room and board, is about 16,000 tias. Converted to a crystal coin that is common to the whole continent, it is exactly 10,000 whole.
But when Huo Xingchao was twelve years old, Huo Xingchao's father died unexpectedly due to a fire in the workshop. The family savings plus all the compensation was only enough for one and a half years of tuition.
They don't have any relatives who can help them, and their relationship with the neighbors is just average. There is a 12-year-old boy and a little girl who has just turned a month. The mother is sick all the year round, and the women and children are weak. Own.
A childless wealthy businessman saw his talent and proposed that he could adopt Huo Xingchao and bear his tuition and living expenses. The only requirement is that he must be clean from the family, and he is not allowed to see his mother and sister again.
For some reason, Huo Xingchao refused.
He dropped out of Imperial School and chose Nolan Military Academy, which was two grades lower, because tuition was free and he promised to subsidize him a certain amount of living expenses.
Another reason is that Nolan School is the closest school to the civilian area, and he can go home at any time to take care of his mother and sister.
From that day on, Huo Xingchao, who was envied by his neighbors as "the little golden egg that will definitely become a big nobleman in the future", instantly became "the big bird egg that might become a small nobleman".
Four years passed in a flash.
The thin and frail children have become teenagers who can support the family.
Life has brought him too many hardships and hardships, and it has also sharpened his arms and sharpened the blades in his hands.
On this rest day, Holmi was squatting on the ground washing dishes, and asked his mother in a tender voice, "Mom, why hasn't my brother come back?"
The frail middle-aged woman on the side was washing rice. Hearing this, she smiled, "You forgot, today is the school day off. Your brother used to come back later?"
"Why, why does Aunt Mo's brother Lin Lu don't have to go to school on his off days, but he has to go to school a little more?"
The middle-aged woman was silent for a while, touching the little girl's soft blonde hair, "Your brother wants to make money to support the family, you have to be obedient, it's very hard for your brother to make money."
......
Thousands of miles away from the city wall, a black-haired and black-shirted youth was lying behind a pile of stones when an arrow was shot in his left chest, and his blood stained almost half of his uniform.
He lowered his eyes, his black hair covered his eyes, and under the shaded light, he couldn't see the youth's expression clearly.
Next to him was a girl with a gentle expression, kneeling beside him, helping him bandage the other small wounds on his body, and his movements were very gentle.
But in the end, when I saw him making the arrowhead on his chest, he couldn't help but paused, hesitant,
"That, Senior Huo, otherwise, I'd better wait until I get back to the city, go to the medical hall and ask the doctor to help pull it out. I've only reached the fifth grade in my medical skills test, I'm afraid..."
Although this arrowhead does not go straight into the heart, it is very close to the heart, and there are barbs on the arrow. It is possible to directly injure the vitals.
"Need not."
The boy's voice was indifferent, "Just pull it out."
"But......"
"I'll let you pull it out."
His eyes were cold, and his tone didn't fluctuate at all, "If I kill it, it's my own."
"..."
This girl is Zhi Ya, a former classmate of Huo Xingchao. But since Huo Xingchao transferred to another school, they haven't seen each other again.
This time out of the city for training is the first time they met after four years. As soon as the girl saw him, she was very excited. She had to abandon her mentors and partners and insisted on forming a team with him.
Then she realized that Huo Xingchao's purpose of leaving the city was completely different from theirs.
- They are here to practice.
- And he came to kill the enemy with real swords.
The outermost periphery of the city is the misty forest. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it is, and alien creatures will appear from time to time.
Basically, when Zhi Ya came out, she used to follow her mentor to hunt a few less dangerous alien beasts, but today she insisted on following behind Huo Xingchao, but found that he was walking more and more in, and he passed by after a while. The danger line that the teacher said.
One by one alien beasts jumped out, the young man raised his knife and dropped it, throwing amber cores into the storage bag one by one.
Zhi Ya did not dare to retreat, so she could only follow behind him tremblingly.
There were streaks of blood in front of her, she looked at the boy's hard and cold profile face and the bright red blood on his hands, and suddenly felt that he looked more terrifying than these alien beasts.
Zhi Ya swallowed her saliva, tried her best to steady her hand, and made a hole in his wound. She almost exhausted her courage to pull out the arrowhead.
The blood splattered all over her face.
......
"Bring the medicine."
The boy's voice was slightly hoarse, but very calm, and it didn't sound like the injured person who had just been pulled out of an arrow without anesthesia.
Only then did Zhi Ya settle down, and found that the arrowhead was lucky not to hurt her heart, so she breathed a sigh of relief, took out the medicine in the storage box, and gently sprinkled it on the wound,
"Senior Huo, it's too dangerous here. This time we finally got out of the perimeter. Can we stop taking such risks in the future?"
Huo Xingchao didn't respond to her, leaning on the stone with a light tone,
"You can take 10 amber cores from my bag."
Zhi Ya quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I can't ask for it. These medicines are not worth so much amber core. Besides, you were injured because you saved me. How can I ask for yours?"
"Not for you."
The teenager closed his eyes and rested, his expression indifferent, "And I didn't save you for free."
"......what do you want?"
"In the Imperial School, there is a candy store with a kind of candy in it. The candy paper is made of bent and pages. There is a box of ten tia coins. You can help me with a box. Also, next to the candy store, there is a jewelry store. I want two of the best headbands sold in it. Also, if you can, help me bring a textbook for children. This is your reward. If it's not enough, next time you come out to practice, you will still be here. See, I'll pay you again."
"...Are you going to buy it for your sister? She should be four years old now, don't worry, these things are worthless, I don't need your reward, just treat it as a gift to her. "
The boy raised his eyelids, glanced at her lightly, took out ten amber cores and threw them into her hands, then stood up straight and walked into the city.
"Senior Huo, you're still injured, you can't use force, wait for me, I'll help you."
"Don't call me senior, I'm no longer a student at the Imperial School. Also, next time if you still don't know anything, don't follow me, there's no need for a burden in the team."
......
When Huo Xingchao returned home, it was almost dark. As soon as he opened the door of the yard, he heard a cheer from the room.
After a while, the little girl stumbled out and slammed into his trousers, her voice jumping,
"Brother! You are back!"
Huo Xingchao took her hand and walked into the house, his icy eyes had a little warmth, and his voice was rarely warm, "Has Ermi had dinner?"
"No, we have to wait for my brother to come back and eat together."
"Next time, you don't have to wait for your brother. If Ermi is hungry, she and her mother will eat first."
"don't want."
The little girl shook her head stubbornly, "I want to eat with my brother!"
......
Yes.
This is Ermi.
It is also the little star he wants to save this time.
A girl who has never seen color in her life.
his sister.
In Ermi's short life, the greatest dream was to see what the colorful eyes looked like in his brother's eyes.
My brother told her every night and described it to her.
She had a dream one day, and she seemed to dream of a color in a daze.
She couldn't tell what color it was, but to her, it was spectacular. I really want to watch it for a while.
But later, she fell asleep completely.
She was only eight years old when she died, still the most childish and innocent age. At that time, what she saw was still a gray world.
