Filoni sat cross-legged on the sand, holding the acoustic guitar in his hands, staring blankly at the bonfire in front of him.

Suddenly, a "didi" signal sounded in my arms.

This fat middle-aged man glanced down subconsciously. There was a necklace on his short and thick neck, and a round dial hung on it. And in the interlayer of the dial, there was the 'magic item' hidden -

—Or in the language of mages, a signal device.

Ferroni moved his fingers, then pressed the string with his left finger and plucked it hard with his right finger.

Abrupt and powerful music sounded in the silent desert.

Once, twice, three times, after vigorous strumming, the fine fingerpicking began. And at this moment, a figure walked out of the darkness opposite the bonfire.

The man walked over and didn't stop until he was almost within reach of the fire.

Filoni suddenly held down the vibrating guitar strings, raised his head, put on a friendly smile, and said enthusiastically: "Hello, friend from afar, my name is Antonio Filoni. Can you tell me your real name?

?”

"Li Yu," the young man stared at him and asked, "Are you here to join us?"

Filoni nodded: "Under the rule of the Kingdom of God, any language and art of the old era are regarded as the original sin of the old mankind and cannot be touched. You should be a survivor of the old era, right? That song just now

, you must have heard of it.”

Originally, Li Yu was still hesitant about whether to strike first and restrain the stranger. But it was precisely because he heard the familiar melody and thought of the Kingdom of God's fear of the legacy of the old era that he took the initiative to come out.

Li Yu finally smiled and said: "Of course I've heard Beethoven's Symphony of Destiny, but I've never seen you play the guitar like this. Even in the old days, this technology should be able to make money."

Filoni patted the sand next to his butt: "Thank you for your compliment. Sit down, friend. Have a good rest. We will set off before dawn."

Li Yu sat down and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

"Oh yes, it must be very hard to escape after a long time. I am tired, thirsty and hungry. I should take the initiative to take it out..."

With that said, Filoni put the guitar aside and picked up the bag behind his back. He took out a water bag and bread wrapped in oil paper.

The water bag was filled with water, and the bread was tasteless dry bread with no seasonings except for a little salt. Of course, this was far inferior to the food in the arena, but Li Yu was very happy to eat it.

He even couldn't help but hum a song.

After eating a piece of bread and taking a big gulp of water, Li Yu wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and heard the person next to him asking:

"What was that you hummed just now?"

"An old song."

Filoni asked with a smile: "I've listened to a lot of old-era songs, but I haven't heard the one you just hummed. What's its name?"

"The arrogant colonel."

"It sounds quite emotional. Can you sing it to me?"

"Let's talk about it later when we have a chance..." Li Yu patted away the remaining bread crumbs in his hand, "Speaking of which, where are we going before dawn?"

Feloni replied: "We arranged a caravan, mixed in, passed through Mesopotamia, and went to Afghanistan. The terrain there is complex enough, and we have a large stronghold, and we can arrange for you the main control chip and

Nanomachines and stuff like that.”

Li Yu was suddenly curious: "There are both main control chips and nanomachines...How big is your organization that fights against the Kingdom of God?"

Filoni raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Didn't that adult tell you?"

Li Yu shook his head: "It was too late, we were discovered before we even left the floating city."

Filoni muttered: "No wonder there was an explosion. That gentleman has never missed a move before, and has never made any noise on the floating city..."

Li Yu: "The 'that adult' you are talking about is Ella, right? Does she have a high status?"

Feloni spread his hands: "Friend, you have too many questions, where should I start?"

Li Yu smiled: "Then first question. Is it safe for us to sit here? Is it too close to the Floating City?"

"Don't worry, this place is far enough from any town. Moreover, as long as you don't appear directly under the eyes of the God's envoys, you are actually safe. As for the status of Lord Aila, and our organization, you

Listen to me and tell you slowly. This starts with the origin of the Kingdom of God..."

————

The old era of mankind collapsed. For some unknown reason, the old civilized order collapsed, but the new order was not established for a long time. The civilization sank and retreated in chaos.

Until one day, a group of elites reappeared with a complete set of technologies.

At first they tried to lead others, but soon these elites discovered that the responsibility of leadership was too tiring. Because there was not much left of the old cultural knowledge and moral system in people's minds. So they discovered that directly

It is obviously much easier and more efficient to implement theocratic rule.

The Kingdom of God was established, and the floating city rose from the ground, becoming the habitat of the gods and their envoys.

But there were also differences among the initial elites. The days of stepping on the heads of mortals and dominating others made some people intolerable. So this part of the elite decided to rebel. Although the number was small, after they successfully defected

, and immediately became a serious problem for the Kingdom of God.

The defectors are called 'demons' by the Kingdom of God, and they call themselves 'magicians'. Considering that mortals in the new era have almost no scientific knowledge base, they can only guide people on the path of truth in the name of 'magic'

road……

After summarizing the history, Feloni suddenly spread his hands and said: "This is us, the origin of the Mage Association. The organization of the association is definitely incomparable to the Kingdom of God, and is much looser. But the Kingdom of God cannot eliminate us, even

There is no way to prevent us from gradually developing outside their rule. Of course, I am just a mage of the new era. You should actually be regarded as my senior."

Li Yu: "If you hadn't hibernated like me, indeed, I should have been born nearly a hundred years earlier than you."

Filoni smiled and said: "There are three more hibernating survivors like you. They were all rescued by Lord Ella. And after becoming mages, each of them has become a big shot that cannot be underestimated."

Li Yu: "Aren't you a big shot?"

"Me?" Feloni waved his hand, "I have some status, but it's still not as good as them, let alone Lord Ella. Lord Ella is a founding member of the association, and may have been one of the gods in the Kingdom of God.

member……"

Li Yu subconsciously raised his head and looked at the floating city.

In the night sky, the brightly lit floating city is like the second moon, much brighter than the moon.

Li Yu lowered his head and touched his belly: "Friend, is there any bread?"

Filoni patted the empty bag: "I'm sorry, I've eaten them all. Can you wait for the caravan to come?"
