Chapter 97 Embrace the Sun
Although the autumn rain a few days ago washed away the dust accumulated over the years in the city of steam, the brilliance cast by the sun is like an epiphyllum, blooming and withering after all.

The dense factories and steel structures in the city are still continuously producing new waste gas and pollution.

The smog is still overwhelming.

The dense fog is still tightly entangled with this city of steel. It seems to be like an immortal undead, slowly seeping out from every inch of the city's dark gaps, quietly regaining the right to dominate the space.

If you stand in the gradually rising airship and look down, you can see that the whole city is getting more and more hazy, leaving only a few iconic and huge buildings looming in the thick fog, and you can't see the overall appearance clearly.

The boy was staring at the city below him through the ornamental glass window.

This is the first time since Roy traveled, he stood at a height of a thousand meters to overlook this dark and magnificent world.

But when Roy turned his gaze back into the distance, the boy was startled again.

Although there was a superficial impression in the original owner's memory, when Roy came to the sky and saw the most iconic and magnificent building in the city of steam, he still couldn't help sighing.

It was a steel wall in the shape of a closed arc, enveloping the entire capital of steam.

Giant silver-white steel rose from the ground, and even the thick gray mist could not conceal the towering silhouette of the silver high wall like a giant beast.

"That high wall symbolizes our ancestors' justice against evil, courage against death and supreme glory..."

At this moment, the girl's gentle voice rang in Roy's ear. Roy turned his head and found Natalie standing beside him at some point.

The silver-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief, and a layer of ice mist instantly condensed on the glass in front of her.

Immediately afterwards, Natalie gently wiped the glass in front of the two of them with the palm of the white lace glove, and the window that was originally covered with a little dust became much clearer in an instant.

"It's called the Wall of Silver."

The girl's gaze also turned to the window, and she said softly: "That is the Wall of Hope built by our ancestors to defend against the World Destruction Corps of the Abyss Lord."

"Lord of the Abyss... The World-Destroying Legion..."

Roy mobilized the remaining memory of the original owner, showing a very interested look: "The abyss lord you mentioned, could it be the mother of worms who crawled from the deep world to the present world and was killed by Zechariah I himself?" ?”

"This is the history subject of our Violet Academy, the content taught in the first class..."

The silver-haired girl turned around helplessly, her azure blue eyes were full of doubts: "You don't even have the most basic knowledge of the history of the Sapphire Kingdom, do you?"

"How could it be? I just didn't try to remember it." Roy stretched his waist and showed a casual smile: "It's just some old-fashioned legends..."

That being said, after carefully flipping through the memory of the original owner, Roy found that this high wall, which had been repaired and expanded dozens of times, did have practical value in the long past.

Countless years ago, at the end of the age of great adventure, there were a steady stream of people rushing to the abyss world to seek opportunities and treasures.

As a matter of course, the greedy adventurers who didn't know the mysterious law of weight still paid the price after all.

A large number of souls were dragged into the abyss by the mysterious weight, tearing open the gap between the deep world and the present world, and thus the nightmare came...

A top predator of the deep world crawled out of the gap along the fallen soul, and the mother of thousands of worms began to devour everything the naked eye could see.

This fat and terrifying abyss lord is crazy obsessed with the taste of human flesh and blood.

It brought its own army of worms, and the places it passed were devastated, and there was no grass... But the story after that was familiar even to Roy, a traveler.

The legendary hero Zechariah beheaded the abyss lord, established a new order in the chaotic world, and became the first king.

It is also rumored that the king kept the head of the Mother of Worms forever in his palace.

However, although the abyss lord died, its worm army remained in the present world, and the almost endless abyss worms were completely out of control...

The disaster did not end with the death of the lord, but intensified.

Then, after a long campaign, with the help of giant dragons and elves, the former king of Savile led his followers to rebuild the city in the ruins and build high walls to resist the out-of-control abyssal monsters.

This is the origin of the 'silver wall' that wraps the city of steam.

Several followers of the king stayed here. They accepted the title of Zechariah I and became the earliest nobles. They swore to guard the city under their feet, defend the king's territory, and protect the king's land in the name of justice and glory. people.

The original intention of this steel wall was indeed to protect those displaced civilians and to resist those terrifying worm frenzy.

The irony is that although the worm disaster has long since ended, the nobles of the capital of steam are still repairing the high wall generation after generation. Not only has this wall not been eliminated by history, but it has become more and more towering.

Every year, civilian workers repairing the Silver Wall fell to their deaths under the wall.

But it's not a big deal. Compared with the symbol of glory of the nobles, how much is the life of a commoner worth?
Roy suddenly lost interest in watching.

He shook his head: "No matter how majestic and magnificent that wall is, it's nothing more than meaningless scrap metal now."

Hearing such words, the silver-haired girl was stunned for a moment, and her blue eyes were filled with deep puzzlement: "But what the silver-white wall represents... is the glory of our noble ancestors!"

"The glory of the ancestors?" Roy grinned.

The young man uttered treasonous and outrageous words in an understatement: "In my opinion, only when that wall completely collapses is the moment when the so-called ancestor's glory can be seen again."

Not far away, Edmund's body trembled, and the middle-aged man lowered his head, desperately suppressing the constant fear that emerged from the depths of his heart.

Yes, this is definitely a revenge!
This is the abyss lord's revenge against the Saffre Kingdom!
It crawled out from the deepest kingdom, first occupied its own heir, then killed the chairman of the city of steam, and planned to destroy the high wall built by the nobles...

So what does it want to do during this trip to the imperial capital?
Edmund dared not imagine.

It's none of my business... It's none of my business... I'm not a traitor to the kingdom, I just want to live, there's nothing wrong with that...

The noble earl comforted himself crazily in his heart.

And Natalie also fell silent at the moment, she quietly looked at Roy's sloppy smiling face, speechless for a while.

Because of this moment, the fanatical and greedy face of Grand Duke Campbell once again appeared in the girl's mind.

Yes, perhaps the current nobles in the city of steam have long since abandoned the glory that their ancestors swore to protect all living beings.

And Roy was the first nobleman who dared to speak out the truth.

He's really a weird guy.

In fact, she discovered a long time ago that Roy is not like a nobleman at all. He never abides by the rigid noble etiquette, nor does he care about the so-called noble status of the nobleman.

He treats people and things without regard to his status, and he can get along with anyone.

He seems to do whatever he wants, but he never indulges recklessly. He seems to have a bad personality and is unlearned, but he has a personality charm that can redeem people's hearts.

Natalie looked directly at Roy's black pupils, and the girl's heartbeat slowed down for some reason...

Just by following him, this gray-haired boy will give people an inexplicable feeling of peace of mind.

but……

The silver-haired girl stretched out her hand involuntarily, as if she wanted to hold Roy's wrist.

But at this moment, the airship suddenly shook, and the eyes of the two of them turned out of the window at the same time.

It was dark, the airship had risen into the clouds, and all the scenery below disappeared.

Only the howling wind tore the streamlined hull, the steam engine was running at full speed, it let out a dull roar, and the speed of the three-bladed propeller was getting faster and faster!

Immediately afterwards, the sky was lit up.

The steam airship completely rushed out of the thick gray fog, and it jumped out of the thick clouds, completely leaving behind the lingering gray flow.

In the whole world, only the gray clouds on the ground, the pure blue sky, the silver-white steam airship, and the newly born sun not far away remained.

The morning sun rushed towards the face, lighting up the blue eyes of the silver-haired girl.

"Compared to that broken wall, this is the view I want to see!"

Seeing this scene, Roy opened his arms happily, as if he wanted to embrace the dazzling sun.

But Natalie stared blankly at the grey-haired boy's smiling face, the girl's outstretched arms retracted, and her fingers tangle unconsciously.

The boy was obviously smiling, but for some reason, Natalie could always feel a vague sense of loneliness from the gray-haired boy who was incompatible with everything in the world.

This feeling is actually completely unreasonable, it's just a girl's intuition.
