Chapter 2 Silas

"Karl!" Arthur, who was the same age as Karl, saw that he was approaching the exit and had no choice but to shout.

There are no express regulations in Rum Town that do not allow townspeople to go to the "Garbage Mountain" privately, so Karl and the others can always roam this area unscrupulously.

Now this group of military masters appear here for unknown reasons. If Karl and his group of young people appear in front of them inexplicably, it will be too easy to cause unnecessary trouble!

Carl frowned. He could naturally think of the things that Arthur could notice. He had been wandering in the "Garbage Mountain" for many years, and he had various ways and routes to leave. What he was unwilling to accept was the unusual behavior of these military masters.

Behavioral curiosity.

"Forget it! Let's see again tomorrow!" The noise of the group of military masters could gradually be heard in my ears. Karl pointed to the side in time and motioned for everyone to follow him.

There was a thick wall of rubbish. Military men were talking to each other outside, and Karl and his companions ran quickly through it.

Occasionally, a few words came to Karl's ears through the cracks in the garbage.

"Really? This is the first time I've heard of this kind of creature in Rum Town for so long!"

"No, it's different from our local garrison. I heard that the people who came this time are all big shots in the regular army!"

"It's terrible, it's terrible!"



Without saying a word, Karl led everyone to run quickly through the debris. After a while, everyone slowly leaned out from a low-lying area.

Putting his index finger upright on his lips, Karl pointed not far away, where there were a large number of soldiers making loud noises.

Everyone kept their bodies as low as possible, relying on the cover of the terrain, and followed Karl's quiet movements. After a while, they completely left the "Garbage Mountain" area.

"Hurry up, it's already completely dark!" Looking at the street lights that were already on, Karl took the lead and started running.

After a hard day's work, the other children were already very hungry. When they saw Brother Carl starting to run, they immediately started running after him.

"Brother Carl! The door seems to have been locked!" Qiao Eryuan

Looking at the door of the orphanage from a distance, he shouted with some worry.

According to the rules of the orphanage, the door will be locked after sunset every day to protect the children in the orphanage.

Karl shook his head and said nothing, while Arthur, who had been beside him, smiled and shouted to Joel behind him: "Don't worry, Silas will definitely hold the door open for us!"

Silas is the caretaker of the Rum Town Orphanage, a white-haired old man over 60 years old. Although it is said that he has no children, he is like a grandfather to these children and takes care of them in every possible way.

Sure enough, when Carl and his group ran to the gate of the orphanage, it looked like it was locked, but the lock was hanging on the keyhole.

Karl easily took down the big lock, and then let the group of friends enter the courtyard one by one.

"You little brats, come back so late again!" Suddenly, a slightly reproachful voice came from the side.

Karl laughed when he heard this, handed the door lock to the last child who entered, and said: "Chris, close the door."

Then Karl turned his head and looked over, and saw a slender old man with pale hair, leaning on the door of the small house in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Silas, I trouble you so much every time, thank you so much this time!" Karl smiled warmly.

Silas nodded kindly and watched Chris lock the door again. Then he pointed to the hall of the orphanage and said, "Go in quickly. The food is all in the dining room, but the director seems to be looking for you.

Arthur and Sophia have something to do, please remember to check it out after you finish eating."

"Okay!" Carl couldn't wait to say goodbye to Silas, and ran to the restaurant with his friends, quickly wiping out the dinner that was not rich but full of portions.

After the meal, Karl took Arthur and Sophia with him and came to the outside of the dean's office with some anxiety.

"Karl, why did the dean suddenly call us over... isn't he going to punish us?" Arthur said worriedly.

"It's possible... we three are the oldest among these children..." Sophia rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly.

Growing up, they were the three kings of children in the orphanage. When they made mistakes, they were punished by the director.

It's a common occurrence to be scolded, so this time it's just an ordinary one.

Karl snorted in displeasure and finally knocked on the wooden door in front of him.

After getting the dean's permission, the three of them slowly walked into the room. The simple office has not changed at all over the years. The only thing that has changed is the dean's aging image.

Originally, Karl and the three of them thought that they would be greeted by another scolding from the dean after entering the room. Unexpectedly, this time, the dean looked at them deeply and did not say a word.

After a long time, when the three of them looked uncomfortable, the dean said: "Karl, Arthur, Sophia, you three have been here with me for almost 18 years, right?"

The three of them nodded silently. Although they did not know each other's specific birthdays, judging from the year, they were indeed about to reach adulthood.

The dean sighed, and then said: "According to the laws of the Gamma Empire, when a young man reaches the age of 18, he needs to go to the nearest administrative district to take the war spirit qualification test.

If you meet the qualifications, you can become a noble war spirit warrior of the empire; if you don't have the qualifications, you will join the ordinary army and serve for 3 years."

The three of them were shocked when they heard this. Even though they were almost adults in the orphanage, due to the lack of necessary educational conditions, many common sense knowledge that common people knew was something they had never been exposed to at all.

"Dean, what is the War Spirit Warrior?" Karl took the lead in regaining his composure and asked the question that the three of them were most concerned about at the moment.

The dean took a deep look at Karl and explained: "You should have heard the fairy tale of 'One sword makes the emperor', right?"

The title of emperor with one sword refers to the fact that Caesar, the founding emperor of the Gamma Empire, used the long sword in his hand to kill all the invaders when mankind encountered a catastrophe, thus guarding the last leg of mankind on the planet Loland.

A piece of pure land, which is now the Gama Empire.

In this fairy tale, what kind of catastrophe humans encountered and what kind of invaders they were were not stated clearly. However, the residents living in the Gamma Empire all know that the land on which humans can survive now depends on
