A huge stone statue stands between heaven and earth, in front of the mountain city. It's not completely finished, it's just a prototype. I ran out and stood in the back of this stone statue. The stone statue in front of me was like a tall building.
I walked out of the stone statue, and Lessius came up to me happily: "Xiao Bing, look, the stone statue I built for you."
It's indeed mine!
Behind Lessius were the villagers looking at me in reverence.
I became embarrassed in their eyes and pulled Lessius under the skirt of the stone statue. One side of the skirt just blocked our bodies.
"Lesius, why did you build a statue of me? You know I don't like it." I had been resisting the idea of the statue in Noah's City for a long time, and finally smashed it when I left, feeling physically and mentally comfortable.
Unexpectedly, Lessius's eyes became serious: "Xiaobing, I know you are not used to it. But the stone statue represents more than just you. It is a spirit and a belief. Only it stands here. Only villagers can have the strength to yearn for a new life."
After Lessius finished speaking, his eyes were tinged with sparks in the sunset, shining brightly in his gray-blue eyes.
I remembered that the villagers in the first area couldn’t believe our help to them, they couldn’t believe there was a queen who didn’t eat people, they couldn’t believe they would have a good life, and suddenly I understood the significance of the existence of this stone statue.
Lessius is right, this stone statue represents not just me, but a belief and a power! Its meaning is profound and long-lasting.
It was I who promised the villagers that I would not let them suffer anymore, it was I who promised that they would not go hungry again, and it was I who promised that they would not have the Eclipse tribe to bully them anymore.
So, I stand here and I take care of them. When they see this stone statue, they will also feel that I am with them all the time, and they will no longer be uneasy and afraid.
"This stone statue can also contact you directly..." Lessius took me out of the shadows and stood in front of the stone statue. Only then did I discover that there was a door on the base of the stone statue, and a room had been dug out inside. I know what Lessius wants to do.
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen—"
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen -" Suddenly, cheers broke out, and I looked at the villagers waving their arms excitedly. Some of them hugged their heads and cried, and some squatted down and cried.
In the Eclipse tribe, similar scenes like this always appear around me. They can't believe what they see in front of them, and they can't believe that they can actually see the good days coming while they are still alive.
When night falls, our first day's work comes to an end. Everyone gathered in the palace below the entire mountain city. Huge stone pillars supported the entire mountain city.
A huge fire lit up the surrounding, huge palace, and the fire could not touch the edges. The palace is still empty now, but in the future, it might be very lively.
The entire palace has been divided into areas with stone walls. In the future, part of the palace will be used as a warehouse to store food and supplies, and the rest will be used as a market, school and other public areas.
Although the school may seem unnecessary now, Lessius, who designed this mountain city, has his eyes on the future. After the world is peaceful, people will need to learn. Everyone here, not just children, will need to receive education.
"I still can't believe what I'm seeing..." An old man continued to wipe tears from his red eyes.
"Yes, we can't believe it. Elita, Qiuli, you really brought the goddess to us." Everyone hugged Elita and the others tightly.
"To be honest, I thought Alita and the others would never come back..." an uncle choked, "It would be great if Alita and the others were still alive, but it's a pity..." The uncles started crying again as they talked.
Elita's mothers were eaten.
Before we conquered the next area, the last woman alive was A Hua A Cao's mother. When He Lei and the others arrived, A Hua A Cao and Uncle Anima's wife had already had their necks wiped. He Lei and the others arrived a step too late.
"I miss my mother..." Ahua Acao cried sadly.
"Queen, if you hadn't come, Ahua might not have been able to survive..." Uncle Anima said with red and swollen eyes.
I was speechless for a moment, and I couldn't help but look at the queen. You have led the Eclipse Ghost Clan long ago, but what have you done for the people who were bullied by the Eclipse Ghost Clan
The queen lowered her face silently, and Yafeng stayed silent beside her.
"Unifying the Eclipse Ghost Clan..." Xingchuan said coldly in the firelight, "but not saving the suffering humans... What is the meaning of this unification...? Ahem... The Great Ghost King never cares about your life or death, but the Ice Queen But I brought you food and seeds. This is what a king should do! Cough cough cough!"
"That's right!" Alita also became excited. "As our great ghost king, when has he ever taken care of us? Aren't we his people? But because he needs those ghost kings, he allows them to harm us! If in the future The entire Western Hemisphere must be unified, and I hope the person who unifies it is our Majesty the Queen!"
"That's right, that's right, Her Majesty the Queen, just tell us whatever you want us to do!"
"Your Majesty the Queen! I also have some abilities. I can also move objects with my thoughts, but I'm not as powerful as Lixi. Just tell me what you want to do tomorrow!"
"Your Majesty, please let us do something tomorrow!"
Everyone showed sincere eyes.
Lessius and Xingchuan all looked at me. I sat by the fire and looked at everyone with a smile: "It's time to sow seeds tomorrow. There are so many fields up and down, so everyone can be busy."
"The seeds are sown!"
"Oh - it's sown -"
"There's something to eat -"
"We can survive! We can survive -" Everyone stood up one after another, danced around the fire, and sang songs.
It is really rare that the people in District 1 can retain their optimistic side after experiencing the reign of terror. Like District 10, the people there have been completely assimilated into the Ghost Eclipse tribe.
Ahua and Acao also came to pull me and Lessius, and we joined the circle of people, singing and dancing around the campfire...
The temperature dropped quickly at night, and the wind picked up, blowing sand and dust again.
Logically speaking, this is a basin, so there shouldn't be that much wind. However, this is a rocky mountain, and the basin is as vast as a plain, so the wind becomes particularly cold.
I stood in the middle of the mountain city and looked into the distance. The surrounding mountains blended into the earth under the pale night, like a huge gray painting paper.
Sand and dust control is also an important project in District 1, so large trees should be planted around the mountain city to prevent wind and dust.
This gray painting will soon be dyed in bright and vivid colors.
After sowing the seeds tomorrow, we will leave for the next area, and the rest will be completed by Alita and the others here.
