Chapter 103 Peaceful life
Dawn calendar, Friday, November 14th, sunny.
Almost half a month has passed since the Abyss incident. Although there is still a sad and painful atmosphere in the city of Gria, the situation at this time is much better than before.
On November 4, the Imperial Rescue Forces arrived and began to assist the former administrative agency of Gria City to start managing and rescue the wounded.
In fact, this speed is not too slow. The current mainstream transportation methods in the empire are still trains. Although it is faster than the green trains in previous lives, it can only be said to be able to arrive at Gria City in such a short time.
In addition to the reason why this rescue unit set out from the city closest to the northern border of the empire, it has indeed lost a lot of energy.
But it was useless. By the time these people arrived, it was too late and some things were irreversible.
Those survivors who were submerged under the huge ruins, have been waiting for so many days, and I don’t know how many people went from surviving glory to disappointment, and then went from disappointment to despair, or even to death in despair.
Even though the belated rescue troops fought desperately against time, most of the time they could find the only corpses covered with despair and the distorted dust from the collapsed ruins.
Their bodies were covered with dust, even fragmented scratches, and were ragged like refugees. But when everyone saw them, they did not look at the visible appearance.
Instead, they were twisted and ferocious, with a look of unwillingness in despair. Many people's eyes that had not yet closed were blood rising, showing endless fear and desire for life.
Many people were waiting outside the ruins for the news they had guessed. They cried like rain, and suddenly raised their heads and snatched silently. Some people even said nothing, but their eyes were lost like a walking corpse walking to their deceased relatives, and began to tidy up their appearance for him and smooth out the other party's hideous face.
Allen is not all in the underground base of the Executive Department these days. Although he has asked Renard to settle his uncle and the others, he will come out every three or two days, first to visit them, and secondly, to let them know that they are safe and relieved.
That night, the abyss passage opened in Gria City, causing magical particles within a radius to fluctuate, resonating with the rituals of summoning the abyss, forming this huge earthquake.
Although to some extent, it is not as good as the original vibration caused by the movement of the earth's crust, it should not be underestimated.
One tenth of the buildings in Gria fell, and many of the remaining buildings were covered with cracks. Even though they had not fallen, they made people feel nervous and could not live in it with peace of mind.
Therefore, most of the people built tents in the open area of Gria City and barely survived.
Even the square in front of the administrative center of Gria City is covered with dense tents, many of which look like standard tents for climbing and camping, but more are simple shelters constructed by randomly using a few iron sticks and bamboo poles as skeletons and then covering something that looks like a rain cloth on it.
Alan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene. His beautiful mood, which had become stronger in the past few days, was also dispelled by such sorrow.
"Stop sighing, Allen, at least we have fought for all this, and it's not our fault." Moria, wearing a simple casual outfit, looked at Allen's sighing, and knew what this friend was thinking, and comforted her.
"That's right, we've done well enough, but the guys in the Pale Parliament are so crazy." John, who was following Molia in a blue coat, also spoke.
"I know, I'm not sighing for them," Allen replied with a cheerful look on his face.
He is not the kind of sentimental person. Although he will be sad for the other party, he has done his own duties and is worthy of his conscience.
He now sighed that he was more sad for these poor people who could not control his destiny, and he also strengthened Allen's determination to continue to become stronger.
Moria and John were the support requested by Gria City from other constituents, and were also the two guys who acted as bait in the previous operations.
According to the rules, after they help here, they should go back to their department to report tasks and repair them.
But Angus is such a shrewd person. The people who come still want to run away, but it doesn't exist.
If such a big incident had not happened now, Angus would be a shameful person. At most, he would just ask about his well-being on the surface and win over them secretly.
This is nothing. After all, basically everyone is doing this. As long as the hoe is swung well, it is impossible to dig it down without any corners. Everyone, the Eight Immortals, show their magical powers across the sea, relying on their own abilities.
But the situation is different now. Gria City has just experienced a huge change, and its main combat power is recovering from injuries. The cutting-edge combat power is also in a recovery stage. Although some newcomers have come, most of the new recruits who have not achieved black iron can play a few roles. Everyone knows.
So now Angus is thirsty for talent. Seeing a supernatural person who can win over is basically like a pervert who meets beautiful women and a hungry wolf who sees prey, his eyes are shining.
Not to mention the two extremely rare Black Iron-level mages, Molia and John, will not be able to raise their heads when they report their work in the Empire every year.
Then that's it. Under the attack of Angus's persuasion of being pestered by the good girl, Moria and John just gave in half.
"By the way, Alan, what did you do when you asked us to come today?" John looked a little jumping, even a little overly lively. Fortunately, he still remembers where he was. If he had a more uncontrollable life, Alan didn't know if he and the other three would be beaten on the street.
Originally, everyone was heartbroken, even if there were no relatives to be killed or injured, there would be property damage. However, when you see a happy guy, you will instinctively have a bad first impression of such a person.
The degree of this kind of behavior is only worse than laughing in other people's mourning halls.
If you meet a few people with bad tempers and those who don’t speak too much like John, you may really start fighting. Alan quietly winked at Moria beside him. Moria is worthy of being a great man with high intelligence who can choose a mage, and he understands his meaning at a glance.
"John, come, let's talk." Just as John was jumping, he suddenly heard an extremely gentle and gentle voice.
Before he could react, he felt a hand suddenly resting on his right shoulder, and his rising momentum suddenly stagnated, and then suddenly fell.
Bang, the loud noise even attracted the pedestrians ten steps away and looked at the three of them with some confusion. However, after discovering that nothing strange was happening, they took their eyes back and continued to walk hurriedly.
Although Gria City suffered a heavy blow, it was a time when everything was in trouble. At this time, it was hard to say anything else, but the important departments related to people's livelihood must be operated no matter what the situation is.
As the main energy source, the steam energy supply department and the power department that supply to the functional department are absolutely indispensable. At this time, factories that produce and livelihood necessities have also started construction again, increasing their horsepower to start producing various urgently needed items.
These pedestrians who are thriving on the street are lucky people who can still have work at this time.
Molia pressed her left hand against John's shoulder without saying anything. Alan smiled embarrassedly at the people around her, and then quickly left the place with Molia, as if she was escorting the prisoner.
"Oh, I'm suffocating." After the group walked into a secluded alley, Allen and Moria let go of their restraints on John.
John breathed a sigh as if he had taken off his shackles. He wanted to complain, but looking at his bad expressions on both sides, he had not said anything but muttered.
Allen had a good perception and could barely hear John's words, "I know I have some problems, can't you be more implicit? My face is gone..."
The rest of the words became weaker and weaker, and even if Allen mobilized all his hearing, it would be difficult to hear clearly.
"Okay, stop pretending." While Allen was still thinking about whether he had really hurt the other person's self-esteem, Moria spoke expressionlessly.
With his ears slightly moved, Alan looked at John with a grievance thoughtfully.
"Hey, no, just make a joke to liven up the atmosphere." John felt like he changed his face, and his original grievance instantly turned into a laughing look.
Alan's mouth twitched unconsciously, feeling that he really had too high demands on the other party, and his self-esteem, how could he have a heartless guy like John?
I have to say that Alan had been in contact with John for a little too short. Although he was blessed by the experience of his previous life, he was more mature than young people of the same age, and had better ideas and ability to recognize people, but he was not as good as an old monster. It was impossible to see John clearly at a glance.
It can be said that Alan was able to understand John's nature in such a short time, and basically grasped John's context and sorted out how he got along with him, which surprised Moria enough.
After all, this performance is quite outstanding for Allen's age, but this is not the reason why the two of them get along so well with Allen.
The real reason is that they can feel that Allen is truly making friends with them.
Because they are also geniuses discovered among the civilian class, and the city of Suria is actually the opposite of the city of Gria. The power class is mainly conservative, so their attitude towards this civilian class is to either suppress or surrender.
This is also why the two of them agreed so decisively after feeling Angus's olive branch. In addition to hoping to learn something from the master of the wizard and Master Ryan's men, they also hope to change to a better environment.
In addition, Allen has a very good talent and has reached the Black Iron Level at less than 18 years old. There is a huge force behind it, and they are also happy to have a good relationship with Allen.
Of course, the most important thing is Allen's sincerity, otherwise they wouldn't have had such a harmonious relationship.
If they were really the kind of flattering people who feared power and surrendered to oppression, they would not have lived so miserably in the city of Suria.
I really thought they wanted to form two people to complete the task. Anyone with normal minds knew that forming a standard team was the safest. Those fools who were so arrogant were still in a few departments with geniuses.
