Rekindling the Past Final Chapter Aftershocks

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Catris is one of the largest cities in the Osatalia Dominion. Even if you look at the world, it can be regarded as a quite prosperous city.  However, if anyone comes here to take a look now, they will understand that the well-known "bustling city" may have become a thing of the past.  After experiencing successive chaos in just a few days, more than half of the city was reduced to rubble.  Even a natural disaster would not have such a brutal result. The streets that used to be crowded with people were turned upside down, and a shocking wound was cut out in the center.  If the direct losses were measured in terms of money, it would probably make people roll their eyes in horror.  "If you want me to say something, then I can only say that that guy Seindemokla is a complete lunatic." Lying on the bed covered with white sheets, Kurt said seriously, "But compared to that lunatic, these things are even worse afterwards.  A reporter who keeps talking nonsense is probably more annoying than a madman." He seemed to be in a bad mood. As he spoke, he threw a large roll of newspapers onto the coffee table in a distracted manner.  The newspapers these days are all about the previous battles, and it seems that there is nothing worthy of their concern other than these.  He now understands the mood of those in the security force. No matter what he does, those guys who shout nonsense about "freedom of the press" are more difficult to get along with than the criminals who really cause trouble.  Now, for the first time, he was glad that he didn't have to deal with them directly.  "Haha. There is no way to do it - after all, the laws of the empire have stipulated their freedom. As long as they do not directly touch the cordon, no one can do anything to them." By his bedside.  Cruz Francois smiled nonchalantly and said: "You know, although they have the freedom to report 'facts', we also have the freedom to selectively weave so-called 'facts'. If necessary,  Some dangerous things may not leave a word in history. Of course, most things are not necessary to this extent. "This is a room without windows.  The surrounding furniture, although quite plain, was neatly cleaned.  It gives people the feeling of a ward.  In fact, this place can indeed be regarded as a "ward", but its address is a little subtle.  Just as gang members have their own clinics that they use privately, the police force, the recruitment agency, or Carteris Academy also have similar internal facilities.  And here is a treatment center located inside the college.  But on the surface, it will not be open to ordinary people.  "What you said is really scary. In other words, if you know too much, maybe you will disappear without a trace?" Listening to what Dean Francois said, Kurt couldn't help but smile bitterly.  He said, "But I feel that I am something that should not exist." Some things should not leave a word in history. If anything, Curt and Liqi are among these "things"  One member.  Although there is no shortage of immortal species in the world, such as some special creatures whose life span far exceeds that of humans or undead such as vampires, they also live in many places in this world today - but no matter how injured, they will return to their "original" state.  The two of them were just too weird.  For example, this time.  Half of the muscles in his left hand were shaved off, and his right leg was almost carbonized by the high temperature. It was even said that his upper body was blown away by the magic power of Mercedes-Benz.  There is no doubt that this is a situation where one cannot die anymore.  But for Curt it was just "one more time."  And the direct reason this time was that he rushed towards Seindemokla with the "book" in Fran?ois' hand, so that he received a full-power magic bombardment.  Dean Francois said that the crazy sorcerer detonated all the accumulated magic power at that time, and the core power was probably equivalent to the detonation of tens of thousands of tons of bombs - the hole in the center of the city was blown out by this burst of magic power.  .  That was three days ago, and now his body is as healthy as ordinary people, although his face still looks a little ugly.  He still has many old injuries from the past.  However, those scars had already been left before that point, so naturally they would not recover.  However, Cruise Francois had obviously already thought that Curt would return to normal.  He said without any surprise: "No, I have never thought of it that way - after all, compared to us, you are probably the one who most wants to avoid being discovered to have such an abnormality in your body." Half-joking  As he spoke, he looked at Kurt with a half-smile, his eyes showing a cunning look that was inappropriate for his age.  It seemed that because he had just solved a serious problem, he was in a good mood, and his usual no-nonsense behavior became even more confusing.  Curt sighed, knowing that he knew that the old fox in front of him had passedAfter learning about the situation between himself and Li Qi through various channels, he became suspicious of what he said.  Although he seems mostly harmless, he is definitely not someone who can be easily trusted.  "Okay, I admit that you are right." So after being silent for a while, he finally could only say: "Originally, we came to the Osatalia Autonomous Territory to avoid the troubles entangled in us.  ¡ª¡ªHowever, it seems that no matter where we hide, we can't escape from the chaos. "They once thought they had made the best choice, but this may just lead them to a path that may be even worse than the original one.  A difficult path to walk on.  Curt has witnessed "disasters" causing huge damage more than once, but this is probably the first time it has been caused by one person.  Some people say that without destroying old things, there is no way to build new things. Maybe Saindemokla thought the same way.  The new order he threatened to establish was rooted on the corpse of the old order, so he spared no effort in allocating his power to destruction.  It seems that no matter when, destruction is always easier than creation.  This is especially true when the items that were destroyed are of high value.  Things that a saboteur can destroy with just a flick of his hand often cost several times that amount of manpower and material resources to build.  It was a complete mess¡ªeven Cruz-Fran?ois couldn¡¯t think of a modifier to describe how bad the situation was now that the chaos was temporarily over.  The only thing that can be considered good news is probably the madman who caused this tragic situation.  There is no chance of a comeback.  "Hey, if you are asking for my opinion, then I can only tell you that you made a mistake when choosing your target." After listening to Cote's words, Francois smiled happily.  Get up, "You should know that after all, Carteris City is a city where various different groups gather. If you want to compare the undercurrents and entanglements behind the scenes, this place is probably much more troublesome than those old cities in the old continent." If you plan  If you want to live a peaceful life like a retired old man.  From the beginning, he should have chosen a small village with few people on the border of Northland. As if he was laughing at Curt's statement, he looked very happy and smiled, and then stood up from his seat.  Originally, it was better to chat with Kurt in this closed ward.  He has many more important things to do.  The garrison who came from the capital temporarily took over the management of the city, and it was Cruz Francois's job to deal with the remaining magical influence.  However, the situation is obviously not optimistic. Just by looking at the pictures taken with cameras in newspapers, you can know how bad the environment in the city is.  Not only was it physically destroyed, but the magic power that penetrated every corner even affected the balance of magic power in the city. Now it was no longer an area that could be set foot casually.  Although the magicians under Dean Fran?ois started taking action from that day onwards, the streets in the city have not yet been completely affected by the magic square that once covered the city. Those blocks that were contaminated by abnormal magic are only  Can be temporarily blocked layer by layer.  Especially around the final battle site, the blocks near the central square were almost completely destroyed.  Not only were the roads shattered by the violent magic, but some high-rise buildings even fell apart because their foundations were shaken.  The biggest problem is, centering on that "altar".  Traces of high-concentration magic erosion were left around it, and some of the magicians who went to support it seemed to have been sent to the hospital after the battle.  It will probably take a long time to restore them to their original state. Not only are they physically damaged, some people may also be left with complex psychological trauma.  And it seems that because they knew that the person who caused this damage was a crazy magician, their situation suddenly became quite embarrassing. Some citizens who were damaged at home complained about their inaction, and even worse, they even thought that everything was wrong.  their fault.  "I don't know what that guy was thinking. But if what he was after was other people being in awe because they were afraid of the power he had, I think he was at least partially successful." It sounded like a sigh.  Francois murmured, "It seems that in some people's perception, it is not 'the criminal is the magician who fell into madness', but 'the magician who fell into madness is the culprit'." Although it just changed the direction  , but the aftershocks left behind are enough to shake the foundation of the existence of the magicians - the research on magic, which was originally slightly close to the secular world, seems to have begun to fall into a state of isolation again.  If Seindemokla aimed to achieve this goal, then he did succeed.  After leaving the words "If you are healthy, leave here as soon as possible" to Kurt who was smiling wryly, Cruz Francois left the ward.  He seemed to be thinking about something, and even closed the door for Kurt.I had forgotten about the door to the room.  Through the window opposite the main entrance, you can see the vast sky that seems to be reserved only for clear autumn days.  The weather is also good today. There are only a few thin cirrus clouds in the blue sky. From time to time, you can see a few birds flying over the window edge and landing on the trees with leaves that have begun to turn yellow.  The bloody battle a few days ago seemed to be just a dream, and the blood-colored clouds that stained the sky completely disappeared without a trace as if they were hallucinations.  Perhaps this was because the academy was not the center of chaos. This "everyday" scene gave Kurt a somewhat real sense that everything had come to an end.  "Then, how long are you going to stay here?" Standing in the shadow beside the window, the girl wrapped in black clothes said slightly unhappily, "This morning I went to the temporary stronghold of the Mercenary Management Office to greet me.  The eldest sister asked me to tell you, go and help as soon as you recover - but I think it is useless even if Donnie is alone, after all, they are already so busy that they are about to explode." She seemed to have melted into the shadows.  , only the pale skin reminded the passers-by that someone was standing at the door of this ward.  Although her eyes were dull, they looked quite sharp, and her cold gaze made people feel like two daggers.  "Is that so? It seems like I'm almost back to work." Glancing indifferently at Liqi, who had a bad face, Kurt turned over from the hospital bed and got off the ground, stretching greatly: "  After all, I only suffered some minor injuries in the battle. If I continue to find excuses not to go to work, then my evaluation for this month will be over. " No matter what, I regret my choice, this time.  We have all reached the end, and this "end" undoubtedly means the beginning of something else.  Although the body can return to the condition at that point in time, the time that has passed cannot be rolled back to that time.  If there is gain, there must be loss. If equivalent exchange is really the principle of this world, then if you want to get something, you must lose something.  Perhaps as Francois said, if they originally wanted to live a smooth "everyday life", they should not have come here in the first place.  Anyway, no matter how troublesome the outcome is, the worst outcome is just "die again". This is a situation that the two of them have long been accustomed to.  The so-called "future" has always been unpredictable. Now that the choice has been made, no matter what is ahead of this road, we can only accept it honestly and then find a solution.  Looking at Kurt who was already alive and kicking, Li Qi said with an unmoved look: "If you are going to leave this ghost place today, you'd better go home first. After all, if you go to the temporary place now,  At the base, you will probably be dizzy from the cycle of processing written records and field work. Since they gave you time to rest, it is not too late to go back tomorrow. " After that, she didn't care about Kurt's answer and walked away quickly.  He entered the ward in a few steps and casually started packing Kurt's luggage.  Seeing Li Qi roughly stuffing all those things into her bag, Kurt had no choice but to smile bitterly and follow her instructions and refuse this option, which had never existed from the beginning.  "Tsk, why do I feel that starting from tomorrow, the real tragedy will really begin?" After making a choice, there is no chance to look back, because the past has been buried in time - all that can be done is  Looked forward.  (To be continued)
