Chapter 8: Sylvia's Great Wall

Views:

The figure of Wei An on the desk didn't look up, but just hummed lightly. Seeing the message, the half-kneeling black figure on the ground clenched his fists and covered his chest respectfully, and disappeared as quietly as when he came, leaving only a piece of snow-white letter paper on the desk.

After finishing the work in hand, the eyes of Wei An's figure fell on the snow-white letter paper, his thick eyebrows raised like blades slightly, he opened it casually, glanced briefly, and saw that all of them had indeed reached the passing line of less than five scales , and just about to put it down, suddenly his eyes focused and fell on the detection value at the bottom corner.

"0.8?" The figure of Wei An stared at this number for a while, then put away the letter paper, got up and changed the coat on the coat rack at the door, and pushed open the door.

In the hall, the chubby middle-aged butler looked at the master and said in surprise, "Master, it's so late, you want to go out?"

"Yes." Wei An's figure ordered: "Prepare the car."

"Three hundred years ago, natural disasters came to the world, our ancestors fought bravely, relied on infinite wisdom and strength, survived the adversity, and built the giant wall of Silvia to isolate the disaster from the giant wall, Shelter all descendants! The Sylvia wall is sacred and great, and you must not desecrate the wall, you know?" An old man with a white beard said solemnly on the podium.

Although he has a snow-white beard, in fact he has just turned sixty, but here, this is already considered a long life.

Du Dian listened carefully. Three days after he signed up, the school officially started. This was his first class today. The old man did not explain the legal knowledge as soon as he came up, but simply introduced some well-known things. It seemed that his purpose was to come here to get acquainted with the children and consolidate the beliefs in the children's hearts. About the story of Sylvia's giant wall, as long as they are not orphans, almost every child has heard their parents say it countless times since they were young.

The other children were bored, but seeing the white-bearded old man for the first time, they were a little shy and didn't dare to make mistakes.

Du Dian listened with gusto, these are the things he wants to know the most at the moment, seeing that the old man seemed to be talking too boringly, and he didn't mean to explain in depth, so he couldn't help raising his hand and asked: "Teacher, what is the natural disaster you are talking about? "

The white-bearded old man and the other children were taken aback for a moment. They didn't expect Du Dian to be so bold that he dared to take the initiative to ask questions, and there are still people who don't understand such a well-known thing.

Seeing Du Dian's earnest and hopeful face, the old man couldn't bear to dampen the child's enthusiasm, but he just cursed in his heart. Didn't the child's parents tell him? But he replied with a smile on his mouth: "There are many natural disasters, such as volcanic eruptions, floods, earthquakes and so on."

Du Dian was stunned, and said unwillingly: "Is that all?"

The old man was a little speechless, and said: "These disasters are already terrible. Didn't you hear your parents say that a volcanic eruption alone can kill countless people. Did you see the dark clouds in the sky? This is caused by the volcanic eruption. "

Du Dian frowned slightly, and didn't say anything, but he was thoughtful in his heart, because he knew that the disaster three hundred years ago was not a simple natural disaster at all. The reason why he asked knowingly was to see what information those who survived left behind. Obviously, in the hands of these descendants, they did not know the real cause and inside story of the disaster.

Perhaps, the inside story is too scary, so it is also possible that it was blocked by the ruler above.

"Teacher, my mother said that it is dangerous outside the giant wall, and you will die if you go out. Is this true?" Seeing Du Dian's question, a little fat man raised his hand and asked bravely.

The old man looked serious, and said seriously: "Yes, there are devils and plagues living outside the giant wall. Once they go out, they will never come back. We can sit here to study, and we can eat rice and vegetables, all of which are from the giant wall. Credit, so you must respect the giant wall and the wall builders, this is as great a profession as doctors and us keepers!"

"Observant" refers to a person who studies the law. Children like Du Dian who have just learned the law are called apprentices. If they graduate, they can pass the assessment of the trial office and become a priest. It is a very sacred existence, as noble as a nobleman, not only can freely enter and exit commercial areas and residential areas, but also can enter the inner wall area!

"The devil and the plague..." All the children turned pale with fright, no matter how young they were, they knew how terrible these two things were.

Du Dian had a little curiosity in his heart. Naturally, he didn't believe in the devil. The nuclear bomb baptized the world, and ninety-nine percent of the creatures were extinct. This is just a fabricated word to scare the children. Of course, the objects of intimidation may not only be children, but also adults.

This made him even more curious about what the world outside the giant wall looks like, is it still full of remnants of nuclear bomb explosions? Or has it turned into a virgin forest because no one has developed it

"It's time, get out of class is over." The white-bearded old man looked at the hourglass and said.

The other children immediately cheered.

At this moment, two young men in black standard leather armor suddenly appeared at the door, and walked into the classroom like no one else was there. Just as the white-bearded old man was about to speak, he suddenly noticed the black eagle-head medals on their shoulders. A smile suddenly formed on his face, and he went forward, "You two adults, are you here to take those children away?"

Du Dian's ears were erected, a little vigilant and puzzled.

One of the thin young men nodded slightly, with an indifferent expression, and said meticulously: "Now I am calling names, the people I mentioned, stand up, do you understand?" His eyes swept across the audience coldly, and he did not hesitate at all because the target was a child. soft.

All the children were immediately stunned and tensed up. The white-bearded old man hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be nervous, these two adults are guards, and those who are mentioned by their names will have the hope of joining the public office. This is a great joy."

Public office? Du Dian heard from Jula that in simple terms, it is equivalent to a civil servant in the old days. He no longer has to worry about making a living for a lifetime. It is a dream job for many civilians in this world.

However, Du Dian noticed the medals on the shoulders of the two men. When he entered the residential area from the slums, he did not see such medals on the guards, and the standard leather armor was also different. Moreover, a mere guard was unreasonable. For a faculty member to be so in awe, he felt a little doubt in his heart, and immediately watched quietly.

"Lock!" the young man in black armor shouted.

A thin child on the table in front of Du Dian was frightened and said weakly: "In..."

"Stand up!" the young man in black armor shouted.

The thin child immediately jumped up in fright.

"Marta!"

"Yes!" A girl stood up quickly.

"Ramir!"

"Carly!"

One by one the children were called and stood up, and the young man shouted: "Du Dian!"

Du Dian narrowed his eyes and stood up slowly.

The children who were pointed out, including him, made a total of eight.
