Chapter 191: Floating Continent and Surface 2
The dream can probably know what the living conditions of those surface people are like. Her dream world can call on all the materials in the world, and even if she has not been to the surface, she will have a certain understanding of the living environment of the people on the surface. At the same time, in the journey of searching for the crystallization of pure color dreams, she also has a deeper understanding of the surface people - not so much fierce and cunning, but rather the beastly nature cultivated in the harsh environment, in order to survive, she has to give up her courtesy, righteousness and shame.
Some of these people already have a miserable life: on the one hand, they have to prevent being calculated by others, and on the other hand, they have to calculate others, and if they are not careful, they will lose many things they have. In this way, these poor people struggle to survive and develop on the surface of the resource-poor land, fighting against another collective for the survival of the collective.
Compared with the people of the Floating Continent who have good qualities, they are indeed rather despicable, but do they also have the qualifications to have the resources they have obtained through hard work? Do they want the life they carefully maintain not to be destroyed by external forces? Is it ...... Do you want to live well?
Now, these people, who are under the superposition of pressure, are crushed by another mountain. The seeds of war sown in the Floating Continent have blossomed into countless flowers of evil, and these bewitching and seductive flowers have attracted—no, rather, tightly, to the leaders of those surface nations, allowing them to squeeze their own citizens and obtain more resources in exchange for magical weapons that can confront the enemy.
The illusion conjured up images of a family whose property had been taken away by the state, a strong man who had been captured as a soldier, and a woman who had been forced to work as a logistical worker in the army; a young and ignorant baby crying incessantly in the arms of her old elders; again, on a battlefield where dazzling balls of light were flying, an ice pick had pierced the chest of a man who was shooting at the enemy's position, and he had fallen weakly; in the last moments of his life, he was thinking of his beloved wife, who had been charred by the enemy's fireball the morning before, and his old mother, who was sick in bed at home and left unattended……
The city was devastated in the siege, and innocent residents suffered, a peddler was blown up into the sky by a fireball, and he may have been short of a pound or two to his customers on weekdays, and he was not friendly to his neighbors, but this was not a crime to take his life......
What did all this cruelty get in exchange?
The magicians in the magic academy have more funds for research; they can only do research once or twice, but now they can study several times, so that they can get more definite results; the wooden bridge at the entrance of the village is in disrepair, and people often fall into the stream that is not much deeper than their calves and get their clothes wet, and now the engineering team has finally arrived, and replaced the wooden bridge with a sturdy and beautiful stone bridge, and the residents are laughing happily as they see the new bridge completed, and ignorant children are playing on the safe stone bridge......
I don't know how much sweat, tears, and blood of the people on the surface are behind their smiles.
