At the end of the semester, it was winter.
The snowflakes that filled the sky were like catkins fluttering in the wind.
In the city, the buildings were covered in snow, and the roads were covered in silver frost. The academy was no exception: the roof was covered in silver, and the yard was covered in white frost, making it even more tranquil and peaceful.
The ringing of the bell signified the end of the semester. After resting for another two days, it was time for the students to take their level tests.
The main street of the academy was bustling with noise and clamor. As they welcomed the two-month long holiday, the students could not help but feel excited.
The noise gradually disappeared, and the huge academy became quiet again. Seer, who had not left the classroom, blinked and looked at the white snow outside the window, silently arranging the activities for the next two days.
"How do you feel?" Li Yiyi, who was smiling, rubbed her snowballs and returned to the classroom from the corridor." Go out and play?”
" Save it." Chen Yinglong packed his bag and reminded his cousin." Prepare well for two days. Your theoretical knowledge is too average. If you don't want to take the exam again, just read the book."”
" I know." Li Yiyi knew that her cousin was doing it for her, so it was rare for her not to bicker with him." But my practical results are okay. By the way, Little Sal, how are your practical results calculated?"”
" Yeah." Liu Meng was also curious." You can't use luck or magic…What about your practical exam?"”
" I don't need a practical test," Saier explained to them seriously." I only need to test the theory and convert it into the total score.”
" Then it's nothing." Li Yiyi smiled and threw the snowball at Sun Si." Take this!"”
Sun Si reached out and picked up the snowball that was suspended in mid-air." You've already thrown it at me twice." He looked at Li Yiyi helplessly and sighed." Do you think I'm stupid?"”
" Hey, what's going on?" Li Yiyi crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking slightly annoyed." Sai Er, why are you helping Sun Er?"”
" Twice. Guess." Esther packed up her stationery." Entrustment. Help."”
" No need to say so much." Sun Si pretended to wave his hand, but suddenly threw the snowball." Take this!"”
The snowball landed on Li Yiyi's face with a smack.
" Alright, alright." Li Yiyi shook off the snow on her face and walked to the opposite side of Sun Si." Are you going out to play today?" Where to?"
" Sure, there are still two days left anyway." Wang Xiao stuffed the book back into the drawer and yawned." Where are we going to play? Find a place?"”
" I think I've been to all the places I can go." Liu Meng pondered for a moment." I can't go to the square again."”
"You'll get tired of going there often. Let's change places.”
"Amusement park?"
"What's so fun about that? How old are you…"
" Ocean World?"
"Where do I get the credits to go? I can't ask my parents for it, right…"
"Museum?"
Six pairs of eyes looked at Saier who suggested this.
" That's right," Li Yiyi suddenly realized." I haven't been there yet."”
" If it's a museum, it's fine." Chen Yinglong's interest was piqued." A history museum? Machinery Museum? Or the Natural History Museum? A comprehensive museum? Art-"
" Okay, okay, okay, stop, stop." Li Yiyi quickly stopped her cousin." It's useless to say so much. Go pick the one with the most things."”
"Then let's combine them? A comprehensive museum?" Liu Meng crossed his legs." It's all comprehensive. There must be everything. Let's go there."”
" A comprehensive museum, the museum of Belle City." Esther touched Seer's head and explained to the crowd," The theme is war.”
"Huh? I like it." Liu Meng and Li Yiyi agreed in unison.
……
As the recorder of the world war, the museum was open to all citizens of China for free.
This city, located at the western border of the Republic, was once breached by the enemy during the war years. It was eventually taken back after several changes of hands.
The wounds caused by the war were still fresh in the memories of the elderly and elves who were still alive. Even now, the museum would occasionally welcome visitors from humans in their twilight years or elves whose age was difficult to tell. They were witnesses of history.
Of course, there were also people who had not personally experienced the war years. Only by remembering history could one reflect on themselves.
Following the intermittent flow of people, the children who entered the museum remembered what Mufa had emphasized to them several times. The pain brought by the war was inseparable from the Republic's contempt for machines and truth.
From the notice board at the entrance, everyone knew: The tour route of the double-layered dome museum was one-way.
After circling around the War Hall on the first floor, they followed the crowd to the Character Hall's restaurant on the second floor. They wouldn't miss anything along the way.
" It'll take…more than an hour." After estimating the time, Li Yiyi suggested," The first level should be faster. I learned it in class."”
"Let's go. Don't dawdle."
……
"Sister Esther, why is this picture in black and white?”Saer gently tugged at Esther's sleeve and pointed to the photo in the showcase that recorded the march of the Pros armored forces.
" It must have been taken by Pros with an old-fashioned camera," Chen Yinglong said without thinking." At that time, color film was very expensive. Moreover, Pros had too few magic crystals, and the imaging device was not commonly used. Many of their images were in black and white.”
Liu Meng leaned closer to the glass." These are their power suits?”After carefully looking at the enlarged copy on the right side of the photo, Liu He sighed." Isn't it too cumbersome?”
" To be honest, it's quite ridiculous." Chen Yinglong remembered what he read in a book." It's considered the…ancestor of power armor?" Although the energy source is different."
" It's written here." Sun Si and Little Wang looked at the introduction on the right side of the copy." It's indeed something that those lunatics made with magic crystals. They were the first to enter the city."”
Hu Lang was the code name for this seemingly cumbersome armored force. It was also a thorn in the hearts of the people of China, especially the elderly in Li City.
The heavy armor and the cold chariots were not slow and heavy mammoths, but agile jackals.
Otherwise, Pros wouldn't have been able to occupy the intersection of the Upper, Middle, and Ping Continents so quickly and cut into the territory of the Republic like a sharp blade.
From then on, the Republic finally placed machinery and truth at the top of its national policy. After all, the reserves of magic crystals were too limited.
Even though the defeat at that time had a lot to do with the army's lack of combat experience, it was still regarded as a humiliation by the people of the Republic.
After all, the Pros army was no different from lunatics. They were all extremists who were keen to expel non-human intelligent creatures.
" Burning the forest in the west of the city and slaughtering the civilians," Li Yiyi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said," If it wasn't for the public security guards mobilizing the residents of Li City to engage in large-scale street fighting, the casualties would have been heavy.”
"You're that clear?" Sun Si was a little surprised that Li Yiyi, who was absent-minded in class, remembered all this.
" Hmph, you're the one who didn't listen carefully." Li Yiyi seemed to have read Sun Si's mind, so she ignored him and continued her story." After the war ended, the Public Order Guards were reorganized into the current Shield Guards.”
" However, at this time, they were still annexing some small countries in Shangzhou." Liu Meng brought the topic back to the photo." It will take them…19 years to reach Licheng."”
Liu Meng led the crowd away to make room for the visitors behind. The group strolled forward and browsed through the other battle records.
A crowded place caught the attention of the children. After lining up to visit the display cabinet and seeing the display, the children were completely attracted and pounced forward.
"Is this true?" Li Yiyi almost shouted out loud. She leaned closer to the showcase, her excited eyes constantly shifting between the two sets of armor." Complete?”
Two sets of heavy metal armor with a metallic luster were quietly displayed on the stand in the showcase. One set was closed and the other was open. Other than the helmet, there was no other sealed part of the steel armor.
Upon closer inspection, it wasn't hard to see that this armor was made of steel plates that were less than an inch thick. The thick steel shield and the red triangular glass on the face gave off an especially oppressive feeling.
Heavy and oppressive was the most direct impression of this armor. The weight of 300 kilograms was no joke.
Even the army of the Republic in active service could not rely on their own strength to carry such things for a long period of time.
Of course, the Pross people from 200 years ago could not. Without the magical crystal to provide a great power, this was just a useless iron coffin.
Pros 'remaining magic crystals were used to power them. As it turned out, the steel army was indeed unstoppable and unstoppable. It did not disappoint the Pros.
The sad thing was that the Steel Corps was completely destroyed overnight, with no survivors.
The crowd grew larger and larger." There are quite a few of them." At this moment, a voice sounded behind the children." There are hundreds of complete pieces.”
It was a wood elf. Saar, who was the first to turn around, found the speaker. He was not as gentle and gentle as his uncle... He had a different kind of aura about him, like the one on the screen...
"Is that so?" A visitor looked at the wood elf with her arms crossed." How do you know?”
" We used to be in the Seventh Army." The Wood Elf seemed to recall something." We were ordered to fight and eliminate the Hu Lang," he said with a faint smile. The Wood Elf's gaze turned to the curious child." I didn't expect that in the end, we would become battlefield cleaners.”
The people around them quieted down.
They knew that this Wood Elf was a veteran who had participated in that battle.
" What's so strange about that?" Unable to stand the people's gazes, the wood elf shook his head helplessly." Many of the older elves have been soldiers.”
" But we can't tell…" Li Yiyi hit the nail on the head and expressed what everyone was thinking." Forget about the old man with the white beard, how can we tell how old he is…Sigh, why are you poking me?"”
Chen Yinglong retracted his hand and covered his eyes. He felt that his cousin was really outspoken. She didn't even think before she spoke.
" Haha, that's right." The Wood Elf was stunned for a moment before laughing heartily." I really couldn't tell."”
" You can look at your ears." Seale looked at him for a while and finally said," You're three hundred years old?”
Apart from Ester, everyone looked at Sayre in unison.
" Look at the earlobe, the shape of the earlobe," Saier explained, pointing at Esther." You'll know if you compare Esther's sister's ear with this grandpa's."”
" Ahem, child," the Wood Elf awkwardly corrected him." Three hundred years old isn't considered old among elves. You don't have to use that honorific title…"
" I'm curious." Li Yiyi, who tried her best but still could not tell the difference between the two ears, had a new question." How do you differentiate…"
After covering his cousin's big mouth, Chen Yinglong quickly changed the topic to avoid causing embarrassment among the onlookers." Sir…No, senior…" After signaling his cousin to shut up, Chen Yinglong let go." You…"
"Sir is enough. There's no need to address me like that.”
"Uh, then sir, you said just now…that battle…you guys went…to clean?”Chen Yinglong asked boldly as he recalled the key words in his words.
" Yes." The Wood Elf nodded and put on an indifferent attitude." The enemies are all dead. Other than cleaning up the battlefield, what else can we do?”
"We can't just leave their corpses to rot. At least we have to pack up the weapons and intelligence. It was his privilege to kill and not bury.”
"Him?" Although they had already guessed it, someone still sighed," You mean…Zhao Wudi?”
" It's Zhao Wuqiu... It's actually not very nice to call him that." The Wood Elf raised his index finger and shook it." If you want to talk about a title... At that time, we all called him the God of Killing.”
"You haven't seen the death of those Pros soldiers…Be honest! It was truly terrifying. Even though they had been persecuted by them, some of their comrades in the army could not accept it.”
" Take me for example." The wood elf pointed at himself. The people also noticed that there were a few wounds on his hands." Although at that time, whether it was me or others, we all felt that they deserved it.”
" But when we left the battlefield and recalled the blood sea that we had cleared, we realized that we had seen a purgatory filled with death…"
" Horrifying, unforgettable horror." The Wood Elf was still in a state of shock. He looked at the child who made him feel inexplicably close to him." At that time, I finally understood why he was called the God of Slaughter.”
"Or the Grim Reaper."
