Ruijing Garden, Floating City.
The situation has become more and more serious.
The news from the north proves that the light of truth Floating City has been attacked by Star Beast.
Although an clone who relied on Arcanist Emperor solved the enemies there, the invaders who were scattered still brought various unimaginable disasters and losses to the Arcane empire.
Remote villages and cities are falling down one after another, and the human settlements have been burnt and destroyed, leaving little time for Morian plane.
As for the disaster that Morian plane faces, the upper layers of the Arcane Empire are naturally aware of it. When the news arrives at the middle layer, the relevant content is much simpler and rougher. And when the message was passed to the ordinary Arcanist Master, the information was already vague and difficult to distinguish between true and false.
As for the ordinary people at the bottom of plane, they are all abandoned objects. Naturally, it is impossible to know what kind of calamity is about to fall on them.
The large-scale selection of Arcane apprentice happened suddenly.
It is not yet the time for the selection of Arcane apprentice, but Floating City located in each place has issued a mandatory order to select the excellent Arcane apprentice to be sent to Floating City.
A large number of outstanding and talented children were selected, and one after another arrived at Floating City, which also revived this city facing the danger of great war due to the infusion of a lot of blood.
The empire is retreating ... This news is no longer a secret, and it has become a hot issue for all Arcanist Master and Apprentices.
Most Arcanist Masters have been included in the withdrawal list, but the list of Arcane Apprentices is relatively small.
Ruijing Garden Floating City is the Arcane center in the province of Kentos Continent in Ruian Province. The number of Arcane apprentice living, studying and researching here is as high as 30,000. In addition, the number of newly selected little guys has approached 50,000.
According to authoritative information circulated internally, the number of apprentices that Arcane Empire can transfer away is up to 4,000.
After all, the entire Arcane Empire has seven continents, more than twenty provinces, and seventy-six Floating City. Even if only 4,000 are selected for each Floating City, that is a huge number of nearly 300,000.
Moreover, in addition to the future new blood such as Arcane apprentice, each Floating City also needs to transfer a large number of Arcanist Master, Arcane Equipment, various precision instruments and equipment, plus a huge amount of resources and materials, and various living materials.
To tell the truth, even the 4000Arcane apprentice quota, or the upper teeth of the Arcane empire, abandoned a group of Arcanist Master without development potential before it was squeezed out.
It is just the hard work of the upper layers that those at the bottom will never understand. They are still attached to simple numbers.
50,000 to 4,000 ...
What a huge two-digit difference!
If the unit behind them is gold coins, the huge disparity is enough to be secretly surprised. But if the units behind them are human lives, the value of their implication will be even greater and difficult to estimate in detail.
In these days, people in Ruijing Garden Floating City are all worried that all Arcanist Masters are busy with resource transfer and material scheduling, and most of the Arcane institutions and facilities are facing shutdown and abolition. Those incomprehensible Arcane apprentice either searched for the retreat list in drilling camps or knew they were hopelessly crowded into the list of 4,000 people, and could only sadly check their luggage and prepare to return to their homeland and hometown.
Although it is difficult for them to understand the current situation of the war and the dynamics of the senior management, the difficulties in front of them are obvious to all.
In the territory of the Arcane empire, there have been six or seven terrible incidents in which foreign invaders blatantly attacked Floating City. Although most of the attacks were repelled and the invaders were eliminated, there were still two Floating Citys that became war sacrifices and fell to the sky in the wailing of all people.
The fall of Floating City ... Such a thing has almost never appeared in the development history of the Arcane empire for nearly ten thousand years, so the blow to the confidence of the Arcane people is especially tragic.
Floating City is no longer the sky garden that never falls, nor is it the Arcane fortress that is absolutely safe in the hearts of Arcane people. Numerous news from various places also show that most of the invading Monster target the large-type city and Floating City as their final targets.
Therefore, in the case of the Arcane Empire, the situation is not so safe, but staying in Floating City will not only feel safe, but even more worrying.
Many Arcane families who are not qualified to join the retreating fleet can only take a different approach and create shelters in some of the most desolate and secluded places on each continent, ready to welcome the upcoming dusk of Arcane.
Thus, those Arcane apprentice who are not included in the list of 4,000 people are also anxious to rush back to the family as soon as possible, and strive to occupy a better position for themselves and their loved ones in those security forts. And in order to strengthen the momentum of the family and seek a greater right to live, they are also trying their best to attract some helpless high rank apprentice.
And Lucia, as the great beauty with the title of Advanced Level apprentice in Alchemy and smelting, naturally also received the largest number of olive branches. Unfortunately, Lucia was unmoved and simply rejected everyone. Still in the past, it shuttled between Arcane research room, library and Arcane colleges every day.
On this day, Lucia still hugged a thick stack of Arcane classics and walked on the familiar moon-white trail, and the surrounding apprentice was also hurried. There was no smile on everyone's face, and the young and relaxed figure could not be seen beside the soft sandy beach and the beautiful fountain. The whole Floating City seemed to be trapped in a kind of low pressure, depressing and painful.
Lucia walks silently with his head down.
Until a sight of a familiar cloth robe and a pair of exquisitely shaped Arcane leather boots appeared in her sight, she stopped in surprise and raised her head.
It is the young apprentice Sauron who is so discouraged and handsome.
And he frowned, his face awkward, a tortured look.
"Sauron, haven't you left yet?" Lucia covered her mouth in surprise.
Looking at the pretty and bright eyes of Lucia, Sauron's dry mouth opened several times before finally speaking.
"My grandpa has decided to evacuate today ..."
"Congratulations! I will bless you ..." Lucia had a sincere smile on his face.
Sauron's painful eyes were carefully examined on Lucia's face, but he could not find any trace of falsehood and falsehood in the other's smile.
"Grandpa has urged me to leave ... I just came to ask you one last time, you ... are you really not willing to follow me?"
Lucia smiled slowly and shook his head again.
"Lucia ... I ... I take back the previous words, I will not use this quota to force you to do anything. You ... you are free ... you go with me, I will not Force you to do anything you do n’t want, just ask you to walk with me ... okay? ”Sauron said arduously, the expression on his face was painful and distorted, apparently he made the decision Great determination.
Lucia first froze, then a beautiful smile slowly opened on the face.
She took a step forward, holding up Sauron's face, and willingly offered her first kiss.
However, when Sauron was so ecstatic and wanted to catch her, Lucia stepped back and got out of his embrace.
"Sorren, leave!" Lucia's little face is still red and bright because of the kiss he just gave: "This kiss is even our farewell gift. We may never see you again." So, ... I hope you can leave without concern for the future of the empire, and continue to work for the inheritance of Arcane civilization!
"No ... Lucia, I ... I can't leave you here!" Falling from the mountain of joy into the valley, Sauron obviously couldn't accept the reality in front of him, and his voice almost exhausted.
"I won't leave!" Lucia's face shy and faded, but because of the strange look in the eyes and pupils, it was covered with another layer of sacred light: "My life belongs to Arcane! I will face death at an instant, and I will not stop my footsteps. This ... is my vow when I was elected Arcane apprentice, and it is my belief that I pursue for life. So, even without this disaster, we are doomed to be together! I hope you can understand my heart ... "
Sauron looked pained and sad.
After a long time, he finally gave way to the Arcane Academy.
Lucia gave him a deep gaze and hurriedly set foot on the journey again.
Looking at the pretty and resolute figure, and perceiving a guillotine-like heart, Sauron finally shed tears of tears.
I don't know when Sauron has an old-looking Arcanist Master figure beside him. He also silently looks at the direction in which Lucia disappears, and his eyes are full of unstoppable silence and pain.
"She is a good girl ... unfortunately, it does not belong to you!" said the old Xiao Xiao lightly: "If I am as unconcerned as her, maybe I will make the same choice as her . Pity ... "
Gently lowered his head and adjusted his mentality, the old man raised his head again.
"Go, Sauron! There is no hope here ... the task of rebuilding a new Arcane empire at Other World is not easy, your future is not here, but in the distance. The glory of Arcane, the glory of the family, we They are all old, these can only be inherited and carried forward by you. So, play Spirit, grit your teeth, for the Arcane empire, for the Jonas family, live strong! "
Sauron trembled slightly.
After a long time, he finally wiped his tears, turned to face his grandpa, and nodded, "I see ... let's go, grandpa ..."
Then they suddenly disappeared in a sudden white light.
