Traveling is to conquer the world

"Sorry, was delayed for a while, late. Didn't keep you waiting too long."

The carriage made of the material with the highest hardness that humans can forge slowly drove in and stopped in the back garden of the Presidential Palace.The white-haired old man stepped down from the solid carriage, took off his gentleman hat and bowed slightly to the blue-haired boy sitting on the stone bench, "Smith proposed a counterattack against the giant, which aroused fierce opposition from the conservatives. It took a lot of time to mediate their conflicts."

"It's okay, the arrangement in your home is very elegant. I walked around casually, and I was so absorbed in it that I didn't notice the passage of time." Antinomie stood up and faced the person who holds the highest authority of mankind. The old man said, "It took so much effort to keep this place the same after so long."

Darius took off the windbreaker and handed it over to the servants waiting by his side to finish it, then waved his hand to signal them all to leave.After driving away the irrelevant people, he turned his head and smiled modestly to Antinomie, "I didn't do anything. It's all the result of my grandfather's careful repairs during his lifetime. I just kept it."

The presidential palace that Antinomie came to visit was the residence of Darius, and this old house, just like the person, was obviously no longer young, no matter how hard he tried to maintain the solemn appearance, the impression of the president If measured by the size of the government, it is obviously still too far away.

In this world, human beings have not even taken a firm foothold in survival. Naturally, there will be no national politics and power struggles. In a human society where the military and government are integrated, Darius Thackeray, the president who commands the three major corps, is standing The ruler at the top of the power pyramid, even the king of this generation has to give him three points.

After the establishment of human society based on walls, the first king was the leader who led the people to settle down.But with the passage of a hundred years, the descendants of the royal family who have become more and more incompetent obviously can no longer take on the important task of leading mankind, and gradually become a spiritual symbol similar to the Church of the Wall.In the real sense, the real power of the king is all in the hands of the old man with white beard and hair in front of Antinomie.

For this human king in essence, living in such an old residence that writes cleanly and reads shabby is really incredible, but Darius himself is exactly what he wants, even if the permanent residence of the palace is open to him, He also prefers to stay in this old house that has become dilapidated after a hundred years of time.

Many people advised Darius to choose another residence because of the danger of the old house and the remoteness of the location, but these suggestions were all rejected by the stubborn old president, and people who had become accustomed to it over time no longer tried to persuade him, and changed to To maintain this old house periodically, lest an accidental collapse will bury the President below and cannot come out.

Because they knew that no matter how much they tried to persuade them, they couldn't change Darius' mind.This is not only the home where Darris lived for nearly 70 years, but also the former residence of his grandfather Simon Thackeray.

"Simon did it?" Antinomie was taken aback for a moment, and after a long silence, he said in a low voice, "I originally thought it was you... I didn't expect it to be him. With his character, I thought it would not be long It goes to the back of your head."

"Grandfather has never forgotten it. Until the last moment of his life, he also asked me to try my best to keep this place as it was, because someone said that such a garden is very beautiful. Maybe he will be happy when he sees it again. Grandpa is a very nostalgic person. Me too, so the appearance of this garden has not changed for a long, long time."

The reason why Darius was able to become the supreme commander of mankind is inseparable from his origin besides his extraordinary ability.He does not have the blood of the royal family in his body, but he has a grandfather whose reputation is not inferior to that of the first king. Anyone who has read the "Book of Heaven" knows that the end of the dark age of giants' unscrupulous rampage a hundred years ago The suffering of the world was conveyed to the heavens, and finally the prophet Simon Thackeray, who led the gods to come to help.

Darius Thackeray's grandfather, Simon Thackeray.

In fact, when I contacted Antinomie’s face twitching slightly when he read the Bible, he could not bear to look directly at the reaction, and he could guess that there was basically not much to be found in the short stories in the MLM book except for the names of the relevant characters involved. That's right, so Simon himself, who became a "Wisdom Prophet" under the beautification of the religious order, is nothing more than a cheerful, talkative, passionate young man with a sense of justice.

But even Simon, who is a little lacking and heartless, can't break free from the shackles of common sense.He couldn't accept the fact that the human Antinomy and the god Odin coexisted as one, so he could only put the desolate boy in the role of a god, and worshiped him in awe.

Longing is always the farthest distance between the two.

Human beings struggling in the predicament ushered in a god who saved him, but the god lost a friend who could have sincere friendship with him.It wasn't until the disappointed god left this world that the human beings who suddenly realized that some things were lost and could never be found again slowly chewed on this regret, and when the rest of their lives came to an end, they remembered that they would never be able to see each other again. friend.

The only thing he can do is to ask his grandson to try his best to keep this old house intact.Because the human boy in my memory said with a smile when he came for the first time, 'Under such an environment, it is unexpectedly beautiful to have such a garden, and it makes people feel happy when they see it'.

"Will you be happy when we meet again... Well, I was a little happy at first, but I can't be happy after being repaired by you. This bastard, he definitely left this kind of will on purpose to make me feel uncomfortable. "Antinomi shrugged, and frankly told the other party about his broken mood, "I can imagine that if Simon were here, he would say with a stupid smile, 'It's uncomfortable, right? Haha look. I’ll be happy when you’re sad’ or something like that.”

Some friends will be forgotten after a few months, because the casual acquaintance can't leave any touching ripples in the memory; but some friends still find it interesting when they think about it a hundred years later, because those who are naturally harmonious when getting along The embarrassing things that are still fresh in the memory will always pop up from time to time, refreshing the sense of existence.

Obviously, Antinomy still vividly remembers the time spent with a bad friend like Simon Thackeray.It is precisely because of this that he still regrets the loss of this bad friend.

"'If he sheds a tear, then get him some malt sugar. If he's scheming me, then get him drunk with my booze and embarrass him.'"

Darius first showed Antinomie his empty pockets, and then took out the fruit wine that had been prepared for Antinomie from under the stone table, "Although my grandfather told me to prepare both hands, but the maltose I think he really thinks too much..."

"...Simon, it's still like this in the end..." Antinomie thought about his words, and finally found that he couldn't find any adjectives that could beautify the other party's image, so he could only say, "It's still such a double deficiency ?"

"Using his grandfather's own words, this is called the soul is forever young."

Darius also poured fruit wine for himself, and drank the clear and clear fruit wine in one gulp. The hotness of the wine mixed with the sweetness of the juice slid down his throat, but there was no trace of alcohol in his stomach. It feels like a burning fire, but it is cool and refreshing.Darius couldn't help showing a satisfied smile because of the fine wine, "It's still so delicious...it's a pity to leave so few small jars."

Naturally, Antinomy knew how delicious Simon's fruit wine was. Of course, he would not let go of the few small altars that remained. The fruit wine satisfies the taste buds and chatted with Darius, and the topic gradually shifted from the moonlight in the garden to Simon's embarrassment.

"...that young man spent a lot of effort and finally solved the difficult problem left by his grandfather, 'Why is one plus one not equal to two'? After boasting for a long time, I said, "Do you think that I praised you and your answer so well because I really think you got what you mean? No, you know that the world is full of accidents, young man, you are still too clear." , one plus one equals two!'"

"He was so embarrassed by others before that he remembered it so deeply. Do you really think that Simon came up with these ideas? No, most of them were written down after being tricked... I remember A man named Ya Ge asked Simon such a question, "There are three brothers in my family. The eldest is called Big Fool, and the second is called Er Fool. What is the name of the third?" Simon laughed and answered confidently: "Three Fool'.

As a result, Ya Ge couldn't help laughing at that time. This guy thought hard for a long time and couldn't figure out why the third child was called Ya Ge... After returning for a long time, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said that he finally understood why the third elder was called Ya Ge, and he was smiling the next day Confidently, he took this question again to test Galo: "There are three brothers in my family, the eldest is called Big Fool, the second is called Second Fool, what is the name of the third?" '

Iscario thought for a while, and replied, "The third child is called Simon", but the idiot laughed three times, and said to Iscario: "Wrong, the third child is called Accord!" '..."

This guy Simon is a good example of both loss and failure. If you want to talk about his embarrassment as a topic, you probably won't be able to finish it all night.Antinomie and Darius talked each other for a long time, and when they wanted to add more wine and all the wine jars were empty, they suddenly realized that so much time had passed.

Darris grew up under Simon's education, and it's a miracle that he didn't grow up to be as stupefied as Simon... But thanks to the close relationship with his grandfather since he was a child, Darris was able to know Antinomie's other identity. Nagging and chatting with him for so long, fulfilling Simon's last wish that he always wanted to do in his later years but was unable to do so.

People always like to recall the past when they are old, and most of the memories are still regrettable and irreversible things.Of course, Simon wouldn't talk about how powerful the gods were when they drove the giants away. Most of what he recalled were related to Antinomy, not Odin.

So when the other friends still had the taciturn, majestic and inviolable image of the gods in the Bible, the young Darris had already formed a completely different impression from his grandfather's description, and the gods he knew were even more Duodi is still a boy who calls himself Antinomie standing behind Odin.So when Simon was regretting his past mistakes, Darius's original cognition that the gods were superior and inaccessible was completely overturned.

Although the cognition of "Odin is a strange god with a heart close to human beings" is still somewhat different from Antinomie's view of himself, but in this world where everyone regards him as the iceberg god and enshrines him cautiously, it is not bad Well, at least Antinomie himself won't have the urge to help Yali Shanda touch his forehead.

After talking casually with Darius for so long, Antinomie can roughly guess that the other party is making up for Simon's past regrets in this way, but people can't always live in the past. After drinking the fruit wine left by Simon, It also seems to be a reminder that this topic should end.

Even less intoxicating fruit wines can produce intoxicating effects when consumed in large quantities.Darius's eyes were a little distracted, and his cheeks were flushed, and he could not see his usual majestic and stable appearance.Although Antinomie was not as obvious as he showed, his eyes were much brighter than usual, like two amber stones with water droplets reflecting the light, which was a little deceptively bright.

"Ah, the wine is gone, I'll get it again... No, that miser grandfather only left seven jars." Darius stood up staggeringly, and after a long while, he slowly remembered that the last fruit wine had been drunk When it was over, he patted his forehead in frustration, "Really, I won't be able to drink after today..."

Antinomie stacked up the drinking utensils and threw them into the empty wine jar, "It doesn't matter if you can't drink it, for a person of your age, drinking too much will really hurt your health."

Simon's fruit wine has disappeared, and the memories about Simon have ended here, and the two fell into silence at the same time.Antinomie stared at the full moon in the sky, and asked very suddenly: "How is the analysis of those two pieces of equipment going? When can they be mass-produced?"

Darius was taken aback when he heard the words, as if he hadn't recalled what Antinomie was talking about.However, after realizing that the other party had shifted the topic to the business, his eyes quickly recovered, "Well, the structural analysis is much smoother than expected, and most of the materials required are also compatible with the three-dimensional mobile device, which does not exist in mass production. As for technical issues, as long as the production line is familiar, mass production can begin soon.”

"Well, I have already considered your industrial technology and assembly capabilities during the refining process. I am not worried about the mass production of the jet levitation device...but let's mass produce it as soon as possible. The estimated time to recover the Wall of Rosa Just next week, there will be a fierce battle with the giants after the Wall of Rosa collapses."

"I will urge them to speed up mass production. In fact, it has been proven technically feasible to transform the existing three-dimensional mobile device. It's just that the project has been postponed temporarily because of time constraints." Darius clicked Nodding, "About the plan to start with the Trost district as the core..."

Antinomie waved his hand and interrupted Darris' further introduction, "I don't need to talk about the specific plan, it's all up to you whether you succeed or not."

Because it is safe to hide inside the wall, human beings have become dependent on the wall.Even if the protection of the wall is no longer reliable after the appearance of the super giant, people who are lucky always comfort themselves that the super giant will not appear again, and still shrink back and refuse to face the fact that human beings are once again at the crossroads of life and death.

The appearance of Allen seems to have brought a sliver of hope for mankind, but the miracle of the Torost defense battle can never be repeated. If things go on like this, the tragedy of the fall of the Wall of Maria will be repeated sooner or later.That's why Antinomie and Darius decided to take the initiative to destroy the walls that might be breached by super giants one day, so that those conservatives who were shrinking back would have no room to back down.

This is the reason why Antinomie didn't want the public to know that he came to this world again. He hoped that human beings could no longer rely on external forces, and hoped that human beings could use their own strength to fight against the giants and survive.Now that the wall is about to collapse, he doesn't want humans to transfer the century-old dependence from the wall to him.

Only by fighting to the death without leaving any retreat, can human beings break out of desperate resistance due to the desire to survive.

However, it is not enough to just push humans into the real world. The innate advantages occupied by giants determine that ordinary people can only flee in a hurry and do nothing in front of them.Mental fear can be eliminated by education and guidance, but physical disadvantages cannot be made up by courage alone. Even well-trained elite soldiers suffer heavy casualties when facing giants, leaving civilians to fight against giants empty-handed How is it possible?

Unless, they can be equipped with powerful weapons that can make up for their physical disadvantages.

It was precisely because Antinomie saw the powerlessness of human soldiers in the face of giants early on that he came up with the idea of ​​giving them better weapons.

Relying on the powerful mobility obtained by the three-dimensional mobile device, the combat method of going around the back of the giant's neck and then cutting off the nape of the neck with a sharp blade is effective, but it is inefficient and risky. If soldiers can obtain weapons to hunt giants from a long distance , and the ability to maneuver to avoid giant attacks at any time regardless of the terrain, then when humans engage in large-scale battles with giants, they don't need to pay more than ten times the sacrifice to defeat the giants.

The knives, crossbows and jet levitation devices are the equipment made by Antinomy and handed over to Darius for the artisans to analyze and manufacture.The knife crossbow is very similar to the crossbow used by hunters, but the difference is that it does not fire crossbow arrows, but fires rotating blades. Its function is exactly the same as that of the sharp blades used by soldiers to slash at the back of the giant's neck. Just aim at the back of the giant's neck With the trigger pressed, even a thin female can successfully hunt a giant.

In addition to portable crossbows that adults can easily carry, there are also huge crossbows that can be modified with howitzers.Ordinary cannonballs can't kill the giant even if it injures it, so what about turning the cannonball into a huge spinning blade?Cutting off the giant's head and the back of the neck together, it would be difficult for the giant to survive.

As for the jet levitation device, as the name suggests, this is a device used for floating operations.Although it seems to replace the three-dimensional mobile device that soldiers are using, in fact, the functions of the two are complementary, and there is no relationship between who replaces the other. The jet suspension device is more like an evolved version of the three-dimensional mobile device. It retains the original While working, new functions have been added.

In the streets full of buildings, the three-dimensional motorized device with precise positioning is still the best mobile tool, and the improved jet suspension device still retains the action mode of using hook + jet gas propulsion.However, in the plains where the three-dimensional mobile devices are useless, the jet suspension device can achieve high-altitude jumps far to the limit of human beings, allowing humans on the plains to flexibly avoid the attacks of giants.

These two pieces of equipment are the products made by Antinomy measuring the human craftsmanship in this era. They are products that humans can completely complete, and they are also the key for humans to fight against giants after the wall collapses.However, compared with the original swords and three-dimensional mobile devices, the materials needed to manufacture the swords and crossbows and jet suspension devices obviously also doubled with the power.

If you want to destroy giants, you need more weapons, if you want more weapons, you need more materials, and if you want more materials, you need more land.The resources inside the Wall of Rosa are even difficult to arm the three legions, and it is impossible to have a single manpower. What should the civilians who realize that humans can easily fight against giants also long for weapons?

Take back the land of Maria's Wall, obtain more resources to manufacture weapons, and even expand the human domain to the outside of Maria's Wall, and drive out the giants who have been besieging them for a hundred years!

The intention of not leaving any weapons of mass destruction, but choosing to leave knives, crossbows and jet levitation devices is also here. Antinomy wants to arouse the enterprising spirit of mankind, and wants mankind to start to have the idea of ​​"taking back more land" , let human beings germinate the idea of ​​​​confronting giants.

It is very simple to refine weapons of mass destruction and send them to humans to destroy giants, but this is not what Antinomy wants to do.There is no essential difference between leaving a large number of nuclear bombs and leaving walls. They are just obstacles that make human beings rely on illusory 'miracles', and then lose their enterprising spirit.

It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give a man a fish. Compared with a wall that will be destroyed one day or a weapon that will run out of energy one day, it is obviously more useful to leave behind the auxiliary tools that humans can produce and improve.To make people realize that the Bible and walls cannot protect them at all, and that only by making weapons and fighting giants can they save themselves. This is the purpose of Antinomy.

Antinomy doesn't care whether people believe in him or not, he only cares about whether people have correct beliefs.In this cruel world where giants prey on humans, tenacity and unyielding fighting spirit and courageous progress are the most correct beliefs. He hopes that humans will realize this, realize that Odin cannot save them forever, and realize that in the future only You can create it yourself.

Even if human beings will forget him because of this, forget the legend of Odin, and forget the wall that once protected him for a hundred years, it doesn't matter.
