The boy cheered, and there was nothing more satisfying than eating.

Lannie untied the bag and pulled out a plain bun from inside. It was placed on the floating island of Babylon without any special ingredients, and it was a food that the nobles disdained. But on the surface, it is incomparably precious food. Because it has no radiation and has a faint wheat aroma.

Wheat, like dragons on the surface, is a legendary thing. As far as Lanny knows, only the closed agricultural base of the floating island can cultivate this completely unpolluted rice and wheat.

I watched as the child who took the bread from her hand with an almost reverent expression, and then carefully tore off the bread one by one and put it in his mouth, even licking the oil from his fingers carefully. Lannie suddenly felt sad, if it weren't for her so-called persistence, would this child be able to live a better life now.

However, there is no going back.

After the sadness, there is a thick anger. If it weren't for that man, today wouldn't be what it is now, thinking of this, Lannie clenched her slender fist tightly.

She pulled a dagger out of her bosom, which was placed in a black leather sheath. Lannie gently pulled out the dagger, which was single-edged and had a golden pattern on the back. Its shape is simple, with only a red gemstone adorned at the end of the grip. The gem was carved into the shape of a demon's head, so the dagger had a very apt name.

Devil's Praise!

A small room.

A bed made of wooden planks and a patched but clean blanket were all there was to the room. Coming down from the bed, there is a doorway, which is more like a cabin than a room.

Alan sat on the bed, leaning against the corner of the bed. The electric lights on the roof cast an orange glow on the boy's little face. He had an extra dagger in his hand, and he had just learned from Lannie that it was called Demon Praise. And, about the father.

Father, for Allen is a strange term. From birth to the present, he only knows his mother, but he does not know even the slightest information about his father. Lannie doesn't say anything about it, with the only exception being a fight with the kids in town last year, who call Alan a fatherless child. Alan came back and asked Lanny, who didn't give him an answer and only gave him a few slaps in the ass.

Later, Alan equated his father with the beating.

But tonight, Lannie was a little out of sorts. Recalling that when she handed the dagger to herself, her gentle mother suddenly became distorted, and said in a loud voice, "Alan, this knife was given to me by your father. I'll give it to you now, and in the future I'll stab this dagger in the chest of your damned father!" Can you do it? ”

Alan nodded instinctively, but he didn't know why his mother had such an expression.

Five-year-olds still can't understand this emotion called hate. And many years later, Alan learned that this was not only hate, but also contained love that was so deep that people couldn't breathe.

From love to hate!

He fumbled with the leather sheath of the dagger, the best gift he had ever received. Alan wanted the knife that Uzi pinned to his waist early on, and Uzi said he would give it to him when he was ten years old. But now, he's got a better baby. Alan swore he had never seen such a beautiful dagger in town. The leather sheath that glowed softly in the light, and the demonic gem that refracted the light.

If I had to describe it, I could only use a sentence I just learned: this is just cool!

Alan couldn't help but pull out the dagger, the silver-white blade, the dark gold pattern on it, all made the little child's breath stagnant. Alan could even see his face in the smooth blade with expressions of surprise and excitement. He licked his lips and stretched out his little hand to gently wipe the dagger.

There was a hint of coldness in the fingers, and then a slight pain, but a small cut was made on the tip of the finger by the blade.

So sharp!

Far from being afraid, Alan was happy. He quickly put away his dagger and sucked the blood from his fingertips in his mouth, letting the rusty taste melt in his mouth. Then he slipped into the blanket and let out a chuckle or two. Soon, he fell asleep.

Unbeknownst to the boy, the tiny trail of blood that had remained on the blade suddenly swam on its own, seeping into the blade. So the dagger in the scabbard was restored as before, but the demon gem on the handle quietly flashed a faint rainbow light in the dimness of the bed.

Three weeks later, the town receives its first winter snowfall. Silver-white snowflakes fell from the sky like gifts from heaven to the earth, they painted the ugliness, covered the sin, and decorated the heavens and the earth with pure white.

The world is constantly revitalizing.

After breakfast, Alan came outside the house. Outside, there was already a thin layer of snow on the ground, which obscured the black and yellow pavement, leaving a dazzling silver road. Alan looked up and noticed that this year's winter seemed to be a little different.

As the snowflakes fell, there were some strange fluorescents floating between the heavens and the earth. Red, green, blue, purple, colorful light is sandwiched between the snowflakes and scattered in the sky. It was the best sight Eren had ever seen, and he excitedly pulled a high chair out of the room, climbed on it, and tried to reach for the fluorescents.

The fluorescent seemed to have spirituality, and let Allen's little hands scratch in the air for a while, but none of them fell into the little boy's hands. The boy was not depressed, but had a big smile on his face. Finally, a fluorescent light fell into Alan's hand. It was cold and cold, and suddenly burrowed into the boy's hand, and Alan saw that there was a misty light on his palm, forming a pattern like a loop.

The pattern of light flashes away.

"Alan! Oh my God, what are you doing here! ”

The mother's voice suddenly sounded, startling little Alan. The boy hurriedly jumped down, and Lannie angrily picked him up and got into the house: "Didn't Mom say that staying in the snow will make you sick!" ”

Alan's little face was a little red from the cold, and he exhaled a hot breath and said, "Look, I don't have anything to do." ”

He's so stubborn that Lannie can only give him a blank look. Alan took his mother to the door again, pointed to the sky and said, "Mom, what are those?" ”

"Snow."

"No, no, I mean something in the snow. They come in a lot of color and glow! ”

Lanny flicked his big head with her fingers, "Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing shiny." ”

Alan touched his forehead, looked at his mother curiously, and then looked at the sky outside. The glow was still there, and none of the Lannies, nor the residents on the streets, seemed to notice something unusual about today's winter snow.

At this time, Alan didn't know what he was seeing.

That is the source force, the energy of the origin of the universe. There is no one in ten thousand human beings who can see the source power with the naked eye!

Something is waking up.

It has to be said that the world is repetitive and monotonous a lot of the time. It's like life in a small town, almost day after day, year after year.

Three days have passed since the day of the first snowfall.

That night, when Alan slept in a daze, he felt a chill on his forehead. It was as if someone was touching his forehead with cold fingers, and he struggled to open his eyes. In the dimly lit room, there was a shadowy figure. Alan let out a dreamy voice: "Mom? ”

The man said "um" and didn't speak. The cold fingers danced lightly on the boy's face and body, and the rhythmic movements made Alan fall asleep as if he was hypnotized.

The next day, the boy had forgotten about the previous night.

But today, Alan always felt a wave of nervousness for no reason.

In the evening, the feeling is even stronger. It was so strong that Alan couldn't sleep, his heart was pounding, and the adrenal hormones secreted more than usual, making Allen's pupils unconsciously dilate a little when he looked out the window. In those bright red eyes, the moon tonight is particularly round and very large. You can even see the majestic mountains on the moon, and just as the boy was looking at the moon, a sudden explosion came from far and near!

The boy was startled and got up from the bed in a daze. Outside the window, there was a rough gunshot and the sound of a man scolding, and there were one or two screams of unknown women or children.

Lannie almost crashed into the room, and she quickly climbed into bed and closed the small window next to Alan's bed.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

The mother hugged the child tightly and smiled reluctantly: "I don't know, maybe a dangerous species broke into the town." It doesn't matter, Uzi they will take care of it. ”

As soon as the words fell, several explosions sounded outside, and the sound seemed much louder than the one just now.

It's not that the danger species hasn't broken into the town, but in the past, the battle would end quickly, and the sound was far outside the town. But tonight, the explosions and gunfire seem to have spread into the town, and it's still pushing towards the center!

That's not a dangerous species! In the boy's heart, a cold voice said.

Knock Knock Knock –

There was a knock like a torrential rain, and the frequency of the knocking seemed to knock down the thin iron door.

"Stay here and don't come out, dear."

Lanny jumped out of bed and patted Ellen on the head. She turned and slipped out of the room, opening the door, and it was Uzi. Uzi was covered in blood, and I don't know if it was his own or something else. Lanny only saw a narrow wound on his face, the wound was long and deep, and almost bone!

"Oh my God, you're hurt. Come on in, I'll take care of it for you. Lanny said subconsciously.

But the hand was caught by Uzi, and the cowboy shook his head and said, "There's no time." Listen Lanny, I want you to get Ellen out of here. ”

"This ......" Lannie glanced out of the house, and the town was full of fires, "Is it a dangerous species?" They ......"

"No, Lanny. This time it's not a dangerous species, it's a predator! Uzi hurriedly said: "Now the men in the town are blocked at the entrance of the town, but we can't support it for long, you have to take advantage of this time to withdraw." Get out of here and go to Gaul or something. ”

He took two more things from his body: "This is a pistol, do you know how to use it?" And this is a grenade, pull out the safety bolt, throw it out, and blow up everything that doesn't have bad intentions for you, okay? ”

Placing them in Lanny's hand, Uzi suddenly smiled, his smile as bright as it had been when they first met five years ago. On this night of blood and fire, it was like a sunshine: "I love you, Lanny." ”

Lannie shook her whole body before she gritted her teeth and said, "I know." ”

He laughed, said nothing, and turned to leave the hut. The figure rushing towards the entrance of the town has no hesitation!
