Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Chapter 310 Welcome to the new era and...the Alchemy Association?

Looking down at the earth from the sky, the world is like a silent movie.

Life and death, savagery and civilization. Ant-like animals were scurrying on the ground, and occasionally birds fluttered across the horizon. There are even some strong human beings who are fighting for various reasons on the ground.

When hundreds of years are shortened into one day, the land itself is the most wonderful image. You can see the green fade away and be dyed with rows of artificial colors; you can see the spiderweb-like road as if it was outlined by an artist's brush, extending from a few strokes at the corners to the center of the masterpiece. The human world is stained with all kinds of wonders, and there are countless loves and hates, heroes are dying, beauties are graying, and they rise and fall.

In this floating world picture where all living things come together, the closer you get to the center, the more magnificent and fantastic it becomes; the closer you get to the edge, the more ordinary and ordinary it seems. Although they are obviously in the same world, the two sides seem to be in two eras... But there are always exceptions to everything.

Just like this day, a bolide fell from the sky and landed on a suburb in the northeast of the mainland.

Perhaps it was because it was daytime that the meteor looked so inconspicuous. So until it landed, only a few people discovered its existence.

"Fire coming from the sky...disaster is bound to happen."

……

Summer, 852 years of the New Calendar.

Outside Thuringia.

From time to time, a few beast roars could be heard among the sparse trees, and occasionally a few summer insects made an annoying buzzing sound.

At the end of the dirt road near the woodland, a fire flickered on and off, illuminating the surrounding road in the night.

The person holding the torch was a strong, middle-aged man. He was wearing a patchwork long coat of coarse cloth. His hands were covered with calluses. He was obviously a worker engaged in manual labor.

The other man with him was not tall, but looked equally powerful. However, judging from the way he walks, just like the former, his strength is only tempered by labor.

"Nike, are you sure this is the place? We have been walking for half the night. You know, I gave up on guard screening tonight..."

"Don't be stupid, Summer. Everyone knows that it's not for people like us."

Waving his hand to interrupt his companion's complaints, Nike raised the torch higher, hoping to see further away.

"Oh, if you want to pass that test, you either have a good ancestor with some noble bloodline, or you have received real training - then you still need to have a good ancestor, and the requirements are much higher. ”

"So instead of having such unrealistic thoughts, why not come and bet your luck with me. A shooting star... Do you know how valuable this thing is?"

"I don't know, and I guess you don't either.

Waving the pitchfork in his hand, Summer shrugged.

"But Nike, legally speaking, everything here belongs to the city lord."

"So why did you follow me instead of reporting me?"

Showing a sarcastic smile, Nico saw his old friend gritting his teeth in the light of the fire.

"You're right, I should have reported you... Damn it, come on, let's try our luck and see what we can find. If there is nothing, I will never let you go!"

In this era when the historical trajectory has gone full circle, the classical republic and early feudalism coexisted, and slavery and public ownership were even maintained in some countries... In short, at least in Thuringia, all wealth on the land belongs to the land. Master, any self-inflicted act is a serious crime and can even be directly punished by death. Even the Church of the God of Justice and Law will not object to this provision.

But for two farmers who only know how to farm, this is almost their only chance in life. After all, although they are not slaves, they are far from 'citizens'. Or in more official terms, they should be called 'free people', or 'semi-free workers'.

And this is also part of the "peasant discrimination chain", because the farmers around the city are formal citizens. They live in nearby villages and towns and only occasionally go to the city. Therefore, they do not enjoy the benefits of citizens under the classical republic. s right.

If it was a few years ago, if you couldn't enjoy it, you wouldn't be able to enjoy it. After all, this is an era of 'born noble', and Summer would not necessarily choose to take this gamble. But after witnessing the changes in this city in recent years, he became increasingly intolerable of his current mediocrity.

To put it more poetically, it is 'I can endure the darkness if I never see the light'. The city of Thuringia changes every year, but the village where he lives remains unchanged. The two sides are like two different worlds, intertwined and separated.

"Speaking of which, Nike, if you really get rich this time, how are you going to spend it?"

In a world without light pollution, the night is much darker than the mortals of later generations imagined. Even under the illumination of torches, the two of them felt as if they were walking on an endless road.

That is to say, both of them are locals and are very familiar with the nearby terrain. Otherwise, no one would know whether they are moving forward or backward when walking at night.

"Of course I'll enjoy it first - but to be honest, Summer, I actually don't know how to count enjoyment. It can't just be eating and drinking - so what about you?"

Shrugging his shoulders and shaking the torch, Nikki told the truth.

"I want to test whether I have the qualifications to become a 'knight'...I mean a more precise test. You know, this is my dream."

Summer's voice was a little low, and he didn't know what he was thinking of. After listening to his words, Nike fell silent immediately.

Dreams...everyone has them. But for most people, this is really just a dream.

"It seems to be almost there, right in front."

I don’t know how long they walked, but Nikki, who was holding a torch, suddenly stopped.

Under the light of the fire, both of them vaguely saw the bottomless circular pit in front of them.

The effect of the firelight was not very good, and they could not tell how deep or how big the pit was. However, if a knowledgeable person came here, he would never dare to approach this pothole.

The meteor hit so close to the city of Thuringia and created such a big hole. The loud noise it made was theoretically enough to be heard clearly by everyone in the city. But the fact is that except for Nick, who happened to see the flash of starlight, few people noticed the falling bolide.

"Hi-Hey, Nike, I'm afraid you really found something amazing."

Looking a little surprised, Summer lowered his voice subconsciously: "There is actually a meteorite...I heard that there may be something called a star core in it, and even if there isn't, its shell can still be sold for a big price. "

"Don't be stunned, go down and take a look."

Inserting the farm tools into the soil, the two of them immediately climbed down the huge pit wall little by little.

The surrounding soil was a bit soft, not like a crater formed by the shock wave at all, and the two almost rolled down several times.
