How Am I Still Alive?

"Year of the Griffin, Frost Moon, Seventh Magical Week, three days."

"The weather is good today. Although it has entered a frosty moon, the winter is warmer than expected. The ground in the eastern area led by Shi Lai has not yet frozen, and the civilians there still have time to collect some supplies for the winter. It's a pity that the knights are too busy this year. , otherwise you can go to the outer city to hunt a group of wild animals, and at least give each household a few pieces of dried meat."

"During the daily patrol yesterday, I encountered a new doomsday cult. One of the siblings is an old face in the East District. They lost their families in the previous natural disaster and were confused by the cultists. I really don't know about these new cults. What does it mean for the believers to hold up a sign and shout 'the end is coming' in the city, and they didn't cheat money."

Knight Catherine T. Dora sighed, put down the quill, got up and moved around.

She subconsciously looked out the window, it was pitch black outside, only a little fire and candlelight dotted the night.

Looking up, the bright galaxy in the past is only dotted with stars. Although the twin moons are still bright and clear, the bright eternal sun in the past cannot warm the earth as before.

"... Is it nine o'clock? There is still an hour, and we are going to patrol."

Yes, it is nine o'clock in the morning, the time for most farm laborers to go to the field, but outside, it is still pitch black.

".How long will the long night last? Priests and astronomers said at the time that this astronomical phenomenon occurs once in a hundred years and lasts at most half a year. Now it has lasted for four months."

As the patrol knight leader of the local knight order, Catherine is not worried about the negative impact of "Long Night" like ordinary people.

What makes her even more troublesome is that as time goes by, more and more "doomsday believers" appear.

They held banners and flagpoles, declaring that the end of the world was coming, and that the world had come to an end. The cages of the Knights were filled with all kinds of new types of heretics.

Yes, all kinds of gods they believe in shouted completely different slogans, and some even shouted profane slogans such as "the gods are dead" and "there is no god in this world".

The reason why they are classified into one category is simply because they are all doomsdayists who come out to make troubles through the "double star long night".

The most puzzling thing is that there are not only uneducated peasants among them, but also many well-known scholars, nobles, and small craftsmen.

They seem to be in an inexplicable hesitation, shouting strange slogans all day long, shouting words such as "escape", "we are doomed", and "only by believing in foreign gods can we be saved", but they still can't see that they really What evil has been done.

"A few days ago, the lord hinted at the will of the Sunflame Church to several high-level members of the Knights, saying that as long as he declares that doomsday theorists and those who disturb the hearts of the people can be hanged directly as an example. But the lord does not seem to intend to do so, he seems There are other sources of ideas and information that suggest something is wrong with the church's approach."

Thinking of the unresolvable disputes between the nobility and theocracy as always, Catherine rubbed her brows, giving her a headache.

This was the most incomprehensible to her. Although the lord of Shi Lai was old, he was not confused. He didn't treat this kind of "cultist" who had shaken the foundation of his rule.

A few years ago, these people had been hanged on the city wall. Perhaps, it was because of the connivance of the lord that this wave of chaos became endless. At least, many young knights thought so of.

However, recent outsiders have brought another point of view.

"Recently, a group of strange outsiders came to the territory. It can be seen that they have received a high degree of education. They speak and behave politely. Although their clothes are simple, they are well-dressed. They obviously take baths frequently. They also have fragrances and fragrances on their bodies They are more like nobles than the nobles of many kingdoms, but they are very strange, always running to the slums and the northern district, staying for a day."

Thinking of those outsiders who seem to have infinite curiosity, Catherine Knight, the local sheriff, is even more headache.

These days, those outsiders have clashed with many knights and local nobles. They seem to be believers of the Holy Mother who are not in the world, but they actually sympathize with the common people and slaves. The aristocratic daughter of the noble family also donated some food and cotton clothes at most, and those outsiders were actually building residences and workshops for them, but the lord agreed.

They never spread doomsday theory, but they don't walk around the doomsday cultists like others. If it weren't for the lord's VIP status, they would have been imprisoned long ago.

"boom!"

Another gust of cold wind blew open the window, bringing in a burst of barking.

In this season of the past, winter has already entered. Due to various factors such as long nights, winter has come a little later. The slightly late arrival of the beast horde is probably the only good news among countless bad news.

Thinking of this, Catherine was a little tired. Even though she had only been up for a few hours, the long night still made people feel deeply tired from nowhere. The other knights also generally responded that they felt that their physical fitness was obviously not as good as before, lethargy and restless mood, which is more common in young people.

She got up, closed the window, put on a thin leather armor, hesitated for a while, and put on a heavy and solid armor.

At this point in time, the law and order in the territory is becoming more and more chaotic, and there are more and more strangers, so it is better to be careful.

Wash your face with cold water, take your weapon, and tie up your hair. You are the captain of the knight in high spirits again.

".Today, let's go to the North District to take a look. We can't let those doomsayers spread chaos everywhere. The lord doesn't want to control it, but as the city's law and order, the Knights can't ignore it."

——

"Varastarod?"

Looking at the information that was just sent over, Lu Pingan was thoughtful.

"Boat tickets" are obviously limited. Even if there is no complete first-come-first-served basis in this regard, the earliest registration is often easy to get a place.

There are eight worlds in the first batch of open boat tickets, and the departure time is also different. When others were still hesitating, Lu Pingan and his party made a choice without hesitation.

Valastalod, internally known as "Silent Mountains", is also a place where many people talk about encountering demons.

Its total area is only about one-third of the earth, but since the ocean accounts for less than one-fifth of the total area, its usable area is quite considerable, which also means an extremely considerable total population.

Its industrial level and technological level are quite subtle. There are not only quite advanced areas and parts, but also parts of the Middle Ages and even tribal areas. The human race is mainly humanoid, but it also includes quite a few subspecies.

The information given by the official is quite simple and can only serve as an auxiliary decision-making function. If you want more detailed information, you have to find another person with good information to buy it.

But from these simple written descriptions, Lu Pingan couldn't understand why such a huge world came to an end so quickly.

Perhaps, unofficial paid information will give some answers.

".Including the sun god in the class of the seven main gods, four defected and one was killed in battle. The defected sun god also took away the sun of Valastalod? Can the sun and the sun god run away? What an outrageous fantasy story!"
