Silent Crown Chapter 1: Lighthouse

　　 Late at night, the sound of the ocean tide came from a distance.

　　 The town is already silent, as if asleep, everything is silent, and the stars and the moon are hanging high in the sky.

　　 In the darkness, only the light of the lighthouse is still on the coastline outside the town.

　　 Since the establishment of the town, it has been standing on the coastline. The Order built it with lost technology to provide directions for ships passing through this reef area.

　　 For a hundred years, at the top of the lighthouse, the flames have been burning.

　　 That kind of flame burns with the power of the ether, releasing a dazzling light.

　　 Hundreds of mirrors are placed in a complex frame to form a dense matrix, which envelops the fire.

　　 After carefully designed refraction angles, those rays formed a complex trajectory. After being amplified dozens of times, they were thrown in all directions.

　　 This kind of self-extracting ether mechanism is almost semi-permanent and does not require any manual management. As long as every other month, a specialist who is proficient in machinery performs system maintenance on it, and all faults can be eliminated.

　　 It’s just that it’s not the priest in black who came here today, but two teenagers...and a dog.

　　－

　　 The big golden dog covered in dirty mud looks really ugly, ugly, and ugly. Since he came up, he has been lying on the ground, showing lack of interest in everything, and has closed his eyes and fell asleep.

　　 A mosquito flew on its nose, and it sneezed. When sneezing, the skin of his mouth turned up, like a grin, showing a row of jagged dog teeth.

　　 Beside it, the blond boy is sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, tearing the chicken in his hands intently. The chicken was torn into strips unhurriedly, then stuffed into the mouth and chewed carefully.

　　 He eats slowly and seriously, but it makes people think he is not hungry at all, he just wants to kill time.

　　 looks handsome, but when he smiles, he feels like a bad jerk, because those emerald green eyes always look like beasts when looking at people, looking for the lower mouth.

　　 beside him, half of the wine bottle was empty, and he drank all of it.

　　 "Ye Zi, you already know, right?"

　　 was silent, and he whispered: "The place to study in the Holy City was taken by the third child of Thomas's family."

　　 "I know."

　　 In the light of the matrix, there was a calm voice.

　　"He also said a lot of bad things."

　　 "I know."

　　 a hand stretched out in the dazzling light, and the index finger of the hand also carries a ring like a coil of iron wire, which is very eye-catching. But the voice is still indifferent, and there is no emotional fluctuation:

　　 "Vito, give me the eighth wrench."

　　"Are you really listening to me? Leaf."

　　 Vito’s eyes seemed to be stung by the afterglow, and his pupils contracted: "You have waited for so many years and paid so much for the opportunity to go to the Holy City for further study.

　　 Now, are you going to just watch it fall into the hands of the trash who can only lift the maid’s skirt? "

　　 The big golden retriever was awakened, raised his head, and barked, as if he couldn't stand it anymore.

　　 "I said, give me the eighth wrench."

　　 The hand in the matrix just swayed, reminding Vito not to wait for too long.

　　 Vito picked up the wrench from the toolbox and placed it in that hand. The hand wanted to retract, but its wrist was grabbed by Vito and could not be pulled out.

　　 The hand stopped in the air.

　　 Vito stared at the dazzling light in the frame matrix, as if to see the boy's expression clearly. He was already a little drunk, so his eyes were angry, not for himself, but because of this silent friend.

　　 "During the day, did you hear that?" He asked softly, "He said you are an Oriental bastard."

　　 "I heard it."

　　 "He said the street children should go back to the brothel to find their mother."

　　 "I heard it."

　　 "So what? Do you want to pretend that nothing happened?"

　　 A blue vein collapsed in the palm of Vito's grip on the wrench.

　　 He looked directly at the matrix of the mirror and saw the vague reflections in the matrix, but those inverted images were petrified, silent, silent, just silent.

　　"Ye Qingxuan, if someone insults my parents, I swear, there will be a whole **** of vipers pouring into his room. If someone insults my friend, then the same."

　　 Vito said coldly, "I know, you don’t want to cause trouble to the priest. But sometimes, if you retreat, you will be regarded as weak. If you are weak, you will be insulted! Just like today. ......You have done so much for this town, what is the result?

　　 They don’t care!

　　 For so many years, your contribution has not been appreciated by those people, but taken for granted by them! Even if you build a lighthouse for another ten years and copy tens of thousands of notices, it will be the same as many steps back. "

　　 "I didn't expect anyone to appreciate me."

　　 "No one will be grateful to you! Do you know why? Because in their opinion, leaving a vagrant beggar of unknown origin in this noble land is the greatest gift!"

　　 "Enough, Vito."

　　 In the matrix, a boy’s voice came. The light was too dazzling, making it hard to see his expression.

　　"Not enough! Do you remember what Thomas said?"

　　 Vito’s eyes were sharp, as if hiding a knife: "He said he deserved this spot! It will never fall on an Oriental bastard! Because this **** stole something in our hands Enough already!

　　 Since you came here five years ago, he has regarded you as a thorn in the eye. You spared him time and time again, but what did he do to you? Are you really willing? "

　　 There was silence in the matrix.

　　 After a long time, the matrix opened, and the long mirror on the ground was pushed away.

　　A young man walked out of the light.

　　－

　　 As the matrix merges, the dazzling light dissipates, revealing the figure of a young man.

　　He wears thick sunglasses on his face, which are necessary equipment for working in the matrix, otherwise the hot light will dazzle blind people's eyes over time.

　　 But the most eye-catching thing is not the sunglasses, but his hair.

　　 is pure white, like flowing mercury, the slender white hair is reflected in the light, as if it is about to blend into it.

　　The silver-white hair that is unique to the Orientals is his greatest feature and his greatest sin...This is proof of being a bastard. No one can tell that this is a mixed race, a heterogeneous who will not be regarded as the same race no matter in the East or the West.

　　, an identity like this is even more scorned than a beggar.

　　 Since he came here, the criticisms and attacks against him have never stopped.

　　 After the priest adopted him and appointed him as a scribe in the library of the church, Thomas, who was originally studying scribe in the church, looked at him even more viciously.

　　 In order to drive him away, Thomas even hid the Holy Book in his room, falsely accusing him of stealing the book.

　　 Had it not been for Ye Qingxuan to memorize the sacred scriptures on the spot, and prove that he didn't need to steal, he would have been driven out of the town a long time ago, and there would be no place for him.

　　 "Vito, don't irritate me. You know, that set is useless."

　　 Ye Qingxuan did not furious, nor did he argue. He just picked up the wrench and returned to the matrix, only the voice came from inside.

　　"Everyone can say bad things, but there is nothing to take advantage of. What if I win the scolding? The Thomas family will not give me that place. So, it is better to save some money. Strength."

　　 Vito sneered, just sneered:

　　"What you mean by saving effort is to run over to repair the lighthouse in the middle of the night and continue to contribute to the town?"

　　 "At least I can make some money. If I don't come, I will have to run by God's father. I don't want to trouble him. He has done a lot to help me get that place."

　　 "He doesn't want you to go to the Holy City!"

　　 Vito said coldly: "He wants to train you to be a little **** stick! Go pick up his class and let you be with these cold iron bumps forever! Until you die on this map. In a small town not to be found. The only thing with you is this pile of broken copper and iron."

　　 "Actually, I think there is nothing wrong with dealing with machines."

In the 　　 matrix, Ye Qingxuan said softly: "At least they will not lie, and they will not look down on you... Sometimes I like them better than others.

　　 As long as you know them, they will not betray you. "

　　 Vito stopped speaking, he retracted his gaze, and silently tore the chicken in his hand, swallowing it bit by bit, using his canine teeth to chew them into a mud.

　　 The angry beast is eating.

　　 "This matter won't be forgotten."

　　 He whispered softly, not like talking to Ye Qingxuan, but like talking to himself.

　　－

　　－

　　 This time the routine maintenance seems to be unexpectedly long.

　　 In the silence, there are only trivial sounds in the matrix of the frame. Under the tool adjustment, the matrix is ​​changing towards a new structure.

　　In the juvenile's skillful operation, this huge mechanical structure can easily be operated.

　　 Hundreds of frames change their positions along the copper track, adjusting to a brand new angle, like the leaves of a lotus flower open and close again while rotating. The complex ray trajectory leaped in it and flew into the sky.

　　 Until the end, the maintenance has come to an end, Ye Qingxuan walked out of the matrix, checked it again, and nodded.

　　 "Vito, give me a screwdriver, this frame is one point off."

　　 "If you miss a point, you will miss a point. What use is it for you to be serious in such a useless place?"

　　 Vito threw the screwdriver on the scratch paper to him, "They still look down on you, they just laugh at you, and then lie on your achievements and continue to enjoy their own life."

　　 Ye Qingxuan turned a deaf ear, but used a screwdriver to carefully adjust the scale on the frame, and the hand holding the screwdriver was stable as a rock: "Sometimes a little difference, the effect will be completely different."

　　He paused, and whispered in an Eastern language that Vito couldn’t understand:

　　"——The slightest loss is a thousand miles away."

　　－

　　 is like responding to the boy's words, and the strong sea breeze suddenly blows from a distance. They poured into the window and passed through the lighthouse.

　　 Without a screwdriver, the stack of scratch paper at the bottom of the toolbox was blown up, as if it had wings, flying all over the sky. A piece of paper flew over Vito's face, causing Vito to tear off in a hurry.

　　 He tried to tear the paper apart, but when he saw the sketch on the paper, he was stunned, unbelievable.

　　 On the white paper, the boy used a pen to draw a sketch of the frame matrix. The matrix on the sketch has deviated from the original structure and moved to a deviant place as the base rotates. The new light trail was marked, but compared with the original... it was totally unrecognizable.

　　's inherent structure was shattered, and the orbits preset by the priests were completely disrupted... This complex and sophisticated system has completely collapsed during this debugging.

　　 is simply beyond recognition!

　　－

　　 In silence, Vito looked at his friend like a monster.

　　 "Leaf, do you know what you are doing?"

　　 "I know."

　　 Ye Qingxuan's voice is still calm, just like it was just now.

　　"You know what a shit!" Vito jumped up: "How long did it take for the Order to design this set of matrices? Do you know?! How much did it cost to maintain it!"

　　 He mentioned Ye Qingxuan's collar: "This is the reef area, Ye Ye! How many boats rely on it to lead the way every night, if something happens, you will be thrown into prison! While there is no one! I found it, quickly change it back..."

　　 "Nothing will happen, nothing will happen, nothing will change."

　　 Ye Qingxuan said softly: "I just made a little ‘adjustment’."

　　 He waved his hand, and Old Fei got up from the ground and ran off with a grin.

　　 "You must be crazy."

　　In the silence, Vito whispered, letting go of his hands weakly.

　　－

　　 "Vito, since when do you think I am a weak person?"

　　 The white-haired boy picked up the wine bottle on the ground and walked to the window, overlooking the quiet town at his feet.

　　 Facing the hearty sea breeze, he drank the remaining wine, and then threw the empty wine bottle into the distance: "What is the use of kung fu on the lips?

　　——At least let your contribution be seen by everyone. "

　　－

　　 He turned around and pulled the hinge around him.

　　 Then in an instant, the complex pivot in the lighthouse moved, as if awakened from a deep sleep, moving along a predetermined trajectory. Gear riveting, winch rolling, mirror offset, angle change.

　　 The collision of steel and steel gave off sparks and a deep echo. The fine sound of the mechanical collision resounded in the ears of the two of them, like heavy breathing.

　　 The originally still frame spun crazily, and in the dazzling light, it looked like a lotus flower burning crazily.

　　 Vito stared blankly at the changing flashes. The sudden flashes seemed to explode, flashing away.

　　 Then, the lotus-like matrix closed again.

　　 The light jumped in the air, like a tame beast, throwing in all directions. Still the same as the original.

　　 is just one of them, thrown toward the dark town, and land on the mirror surface hung in front of the nail by Old Fei. Following the youth's will, the light shuttled through the dark town, jumping with mirrors one by one.

　　 In the end, a hot and harsh light cast on the largest house in the entire town.

　　It's like a holy light falling from the sky~IndoMTL.com~ Then, the big clock in the middle of the town trembled, as if it was ringing angrily. Below it, a grinning dog was biting the rope and shaking vigorously.

　　 The sharp loud noise awakened the silent town.

　　 People who were awakened from their sleep got up from the bed, rushed to the window in a panic, and their eyes fell on the street.

　　 There were no beasts rushing into the town, and no robbers rushing into the town, nothing seemed to happen. Only the sound of the sirens echoed, and a sacred light fell from the sky and landed on Thomas' house.

　　 In the small town, the awakened residents burst into noise.

　　 "What's wrong?" someone shouted.

　　 "What happened? Who can ring the bell?"

　　 "Mom, I'm afraid."

　　 "Hey, look at Thomas's house!"

　　"Thomas House..."

　　 Then, the hustle and bustle of the small town in an instant was incredibly silent again.

　　 In everyone's gaze, the light from the sky intertwined, forming a line of writing. The writing is so clear, like a blessing from the gods from heaven.

　　 has only a few simple vocabulary, but the writing is fluent. It was a kind response from a certain teenager.

　　——The son of a bitch!
