1. Siege
Azure Star, Hilt Third Reich, King District of Hemar City, the second floor balcony of an independent duplex villa.
On the edge of the balcony, the classical marble fence is carved with an epic scene carefully crafted by craftsmen. It is a scene of Emperor Hilt boarding the battleship Crown at Clayton Military Port before his expedition to the Southern Continent during the First Empire of Hilt.
Known in history as the "Glorious Expedition".
The fence is classic and elegant, and it is only less than one thousandth of the entire villa, but the rich historical heritage reflected in the details makes anyone who touches its sharp edges believe that it must have been made by a famous person, a nobleman of the empire.
I like the luxury of this style the most.
Presumably, the owner of the villa must be a wonderful person who understands life.
It's night, the lights are on, and the chandeliers with hollowed-out Baroque patterns beside the fence are blooming with light and heat.
The warm light yellow light illuminated the corner of the balcony and also illuminated the figure standing on the balcony. This was a young man wearing the traditional noble dress of Hilt.
What is striking is that the man has a pair of silver-gray pupils, which is the unique pupil color of the Hilt people. But what is inconsistent is that the man also has a smooth black shawl long hair, which is on the other side of the planet, Hui.
The color that the people of the Dragon Kingdom are proud of.
The facial features are distinct, but the details highlight the softness, the tall and straight height, the well-proportioned and strong body, and the well-made clothes. Although his appearance is not eye-catchingly handsome, he has an intriguing and mysterious temperament.
In summary, the man seems to be a Hilt mixed-blood noble.
But Bai Ye, the young man, knew the basics. In fact, based on blood analysis, he had no close blood relationship with anyone on this planet, and he was truly fatherless and motherless.
He is just himself, a traveler in a besieged city.
Bai Ye held up the goblet in his hand, and the glass was filled with colorful wine. The wine was dry sherry produced in the town of Nora, which was praised by the famous poet Esmedala as "Norah in a bottle."
"Landa Sunshine"[1].
As if he was talking to someone, Bai Ye swayed the wine, letting the reflected wine-red light cover his face, tinged with the strong winter wind of the Northern Loyo Continent.
"For eighteen years, I have been asking myself..."
In the white night, I lowered my eyes so that the light of the chandelier could not catch the shadow under my eyes.
"Do I have to be the so-called savior in my new life?"
Looking into the distance, the King's District is located on the outskirts of Hemar City, surrounded by mountains and rivers. From the balcony of the villa halfway up the mountain, you can easily have a panoramic view of the bustling Hemar city center at night. Looking at this busy scene of traffic in the white night, I remained silent for a long time.
.
"Later I figured it out. I just want to explore the unknown and pursue the truth."
"That's all."
Bai Ye raised his left wrist and took off a high-end watch from it. It is now 9:47:04 in the evening of December 7, 2024 in the New Calendar. It is an ordinary day for all living beings, but only Bai Ye knows that today
It is also the moment when the Old Galaxy begins to close the Blue Star world line. In another 12 minutes and 56 seconds, the Old Galaxy will select 300,000 "special lives" from the 6.5 billion population of the Blue Star to inherit the civilization of the Blue Star.
And fight.
This should have been an exciting moment, but Bai Ye was calm and unmoved, because he knew that he couldn't change anything, and he didn't want to change anything. He just wanted to take advantage of this calmness to remember and think about him.
past...
…………
Perhaps in another parallel world, Bai Ye spent his "previous life" here. He had parents who loved him, teachers he respected, a stable and decent job, and a family that was about to be happy. He was only two years old.
Thirteen-year-old Bai Ye already has a sufficient life.
However, the old star came, and the tide of destiny chose him. The direction of his destiny was completely different from now on. He became a "player" in the eyes of the world, and a "destiny" who tried to transcend in the long river of destiny.
He has been confused, decadent, persisted, given up, loved, hated, and walked through this world.
Finally, one day in the fourth year of the advent of the old galaxy, he held a broken dagger in his hand, the blood soaked the empty quiver at his waist, and fell down under the siege of countless monsters, without complaining or saying anything.
Regret is not a plot by a villain, nor is it a way for Warcraft to siege the city. He is just a "desperate life" of a warrior class. He lost his precious life in a battle with a huge disparity in numbers.
life.
So, whether he was reborn or traveled through time, he came to this world line. Here, he became a five-year-old mixed-race orphan from the Third Reich National Central Orphanage in Hilt. Here he received
Hilt's compulsory education in the Third Reich eventually "died" in a shopping mall fire that caused major damage to public property before the entrance examination at the age of 18. He broke away from the system and disappeared from the surface society of the Blue Star.
, became a "cleaner" working in the shadow side of Hemar City, and thus accumulated some wealth and channels.
This is the general trajectory of his, Bai Ye, ups and downs in two different universes. He chews the bitterness and bitterness in it silently, and the light and shadow of swords and dripping blood he gently collects into his heart.
After swallowing the last sip of wine, Bai Ye felt the lingering fragrance in his mouth and couldn't help but think about the reason again.
Why is it me? In his "previous life", there was no deep hatred and nothing he had to do. In this world, there is also no trace of the existence of another self, and there is no trace of the various causal relationships in his "previous life".
So why is he treated like a "protagonist"?
For revenge? Who should he seek revenge from? The group of monsters that besieged him?
Or is it to save the Blue Star civilization? Fight against the entire destiny, and fight against the fate that the Blue Star world line must be included in the old galaxy?
It has no meaning at all. He is like a chess piece left out of the chessboard by a chess player. It seems to be free, but it has lost its due meaning.
It wasn't until the eve that the old galaxy was about to descend on the Blue Star again that Bai Ye finally gave himself an answer.
The so-called meaning is just a concept set by intelligent life in order to reflect its own value. It is a manifestation of life's survival. Since there is no external object that gives it meaning, why can't we give ourselves a meaningful definition?
It's not that complicated. Bai Ye defines himself as pursuing the unknown and exploring the truth.
That's all.
When I came back to my senses, the time displayed on the watch was already close to ten o'clock in the evening, and ten o'clock was the time when the old galaxy selected "destinies" from all over the world and made its first "copy".
Bai Ye turned around, no longer looking at the bustling city scene behind him that was hard to see anymore. He wanted to make final preparations for entering the old galaxy.
Pursuing the unknown and exploring the truth is simple, but I don’t have the strength to break out of this closed siege.
Chapter completed!
