The sunlight dissipated the darkness, making it deeper than the darkness, standing in one direction from the far side, exposing the "Monolith" surrounding the Tokyo area under the sky.
Today, the huge black wall of a rectangle with a height of 1.618 kilometers and a width of 1 kilometer is still like a towering iron tower, standing at a certain distance in people's sight.
Such a scene, if it exists in the natural scenery, is obviously a sense of contradiction, but for some reason it is awe-inspiring.
However, that is also a matter of course.
After all, only the area in the middle of the "Monolith" is the last paradise for mankind in this world.
And the boundary between humans and primitive gut animals, which is divided by the "Monolith", has existed for ten years in a blink of an eye.
Due to the war, all the preserved areas in the Tokyo area were unified and divided into forty-three areas.
Starting from District 1, the central area of the Tokyo area, the closer to the border line of the "Monolith" structure, the larger the area number, until the 43 districts, and beyond, it is the unexplored area where the primates live. Up.
On the periphery of the forty-three areas in the Tokyo area, that is, closer to the "Monolith", and even the border area adjacent to it, is an abandoned capital that no one wants to live in.
They are collectively referred to as the peripheral zone.
Here, the sparseness of human breath has reached a terrible degree.
Moreover, you can see incredible things everywhere.
For example, it is impossible to imagine the footprints of huge monsters from humans.
For example, a chair stained with blood.
For example, the inside of a four-wheeled vehicle with broken windows seems bright red like rust, which is reminiscent of blood stains.
Another example is the unknown red-purple weeds growing from the cracks in the stones.
The ground here is basically dry land like a wilderness.
The building seemed to have been trampled on by some monster, and it was as dilapidated as a ruin.
This is the outer area of the Tokyo area, where everyone is unwilling to approach, let alone live in.
However, there is such a place in the 39 districts in such almost desperate areas.
It is surrounded by a wall and is comparable in scale to a small town. There are obviously many new buildings built inside, which are relatively sound compared with the ruins outside the wall.
Although these buildings are not comparable to those high-rise buildings in the Tokyo area, they are also regular residential buildings.
Presumably, for those "cursed children" who live in the outer area all year round, abandoned by their biological parents, and rejected by people, this is definitely a paradise in dreams.
And if you look closely, you can find it.
In this small area surrounded by walls, a plaque hangs on the top of the only gate.
The plaque read-"Fairytail (Fairytail)".
…
"President! President!"
In an elementary school-sized school, Noah, who was reading a heavy book, was surrounded by a group of under-ten-year-old girls who had just finished class, and entangled Noah coquettishly with a crisp voice.
"Tell us a story! President!"
"Telling a story again?" Two or three children had already climbed up on him, and Noah, who hung on it, put down the book in his hand, with a soft expression on his face, but his tone was rather helpless.
"In class, there should be teachers who will tell you stories, right?"
"What the teacher said is not as interesting as the president!" The children all yelled.
"We want to hear the president tell a story!"
"Okay, okay." Noah could only shrug his shoulders, and tore off all the children hanging on him. After a moment of indulgence, he smiled slightly.
"Do you know why we are called "Fairytail" here?"
Of course the children shook their heads, looking curious and dazed.
"Actually, whether fairies have tails or not, or whether fairies exist or not, no one knows." To meet the children's gazes, Noah spoke in a tone that seemed to sound from a far away place. , Speaking softly.
"But it is precisely because of this that eternal puzzles will become eternal hope. I created "Fairytail" to tell everyone, it is like chasing after fairy whether there is a tail, or even if it exists. Don’t give up hope!"
Noah glanced around at the children who were present with more or less longing expressions, and closed his eyes.
"One day, you will also need to set foot in the outside world and have contact with people in the outside world. At that time, you will definitely encounter various difficulties."
"However, even if someone rejects you, someone hates you, someone makes things difficult for you, or even someone wants to hurt you, you can't give up hope. As long as you believe in hope, the fairy will definitely appear in yours. Around."
"So, don't forget."
"Whether you are the "cursed children" that everyone hates or not, you are all members of "Fairytail", "Fairytail" will always be your home!"
Hearing that, the children's faces all showed a happy look. This expression also made Noah's heart peaceful.
Noah will never forget that when he first came to the outer area a year ago, the faces of the "cursed children" here were ashamed, vigilant, indifferent, misogynistic, and hated for all the ordinary redness in the world. Eye.
For these "cursed sons", Noah hasn't had to worry less this year, and now, finally let "Fairytail" be the sustenance of these children, so that these children can live like ordinary children. Life.
And that's all that Noah can do.
Of course, in this way, all kinds of troubles are also caused.
"President Noah." A middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a gun at his waist spoke blankly at the door.
"The car is already waiting outside, and the adult is also waiting for President Noah's visit. Please also President Noah take some time to come with us."
Noah glanced at the middle-aged man, did not speak, but spoke to the children around him.
"Okay, it's time for class, so go back to the classroom!"
"Yes~~~" The children immediately left obediently and returned to the classroom one after another.
Noah stretched out his hand and held the long cloth bag that had been lying aside on the ground in his hand, stood up, and walked outside the door.
…
Tokyo area, district 1...
In this place, which can be called the heart of Tokyo, an extended limousine drove from a distance, and finally stopped in front of a building.
Wearing a suit, a bodyguard-like figure appeared from nowhere, opened the door of the saloon car, and made Noah who was sitting inside get out of the car and stood in front of the building that stood in front of her.
That is probably the so-called neo-Gothic style building, right
The curved window glass embedded in the ivory-like white and smooth stone pillars, as well as the wavy slanting door, in front of this luxurious building, many places use the aesthetics that Noah saw in the book. A palace that makes it impossible to find faults.
Noah just glanced at such a building, and was led into this building called the Holy Residence, accompanied by two guards in front and back.
It didn't take long for the two guards to open a huge door and let Noah walk into a brightly lit hall.
And in the hall, the two people opened it for the first time when Noah came in, and they seemed to have been tightly closed until just now, as if they were calming eyes, and focused on Noah's body.
Seeing the existence of the two undoubtedly important figures in front of him, Noah's eyes flashed with brilliance.
