Chapter 5 Departure(1/2)
A few days later, the sky turned cold gray with a hint of dark red clouds on the edge.
"Woo-"
The piercing sound of the whistle echoed in the sky, breaking the silence of dawn.
On the vast land, trains of black leather trains gathered from all directions, shuttled back and forth, making a dull roaring sound, and drove towards the distance along the railway tracks.
Black smoke billowed, and the train disappeared at the end of the earth, sending batches of people to various areas outside.
Withered vines and weeds were everywhere, and the strong wind roared past, picking up fallen leaves and flying in the air, falling slowly...
…
The sky gradually became brighter, and the rays of morning light fell from the sky, dispersing the gray tones between heaven and earth.
Outside the slums, on the low hills.
Lin Fan stood there, carrying a bulging black backpack behind him, looking towards the direction of Village No. 9.
"I'm leaving here today, I don't know when I can come back..."
Lin Fan sighed softly, a look of reluctance and confusion appeared on his young face.
He was born in a slum and grew up in this poor place. The farthest place he has ever been is Fengyang County, and due to network restrictions, his understanding of the outside world is limited to the area of Jinling Ancient City.
, as for places farther away, basically nothing is known.
But now, he was going to the distant Yunling City alone, and he felt somewhat at a loss.
"I will make a lot of money when I go to Yunling City this time. When I come back, I will take my parents to live in Jinling Ancient City..."
Looking at the rising sun in the sky, Lin Fan's eyes showed a hint of determination and he walked along the road under his feet.
He was carrying a heavy backpack, and his thin figure was getting farther and farther away, getting smaller and smaller.
The road ahead stretched towards the end of the earth, straight and far away. Lin Fan knew that at the end of this road, there was a vast and magnificent world.
Becoming a knight is also the path he will take in the future...
…
Yunling City is a famous big city in Jiangling Province. It is also a place where knights and mortals live together. It gathers the essence of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, making it prosperous and beautiful.
A thousand years ago, the long dark night passed. Humanity had long lost the civilization inheritance of the old era, so it searched for the lost ancient books and documents in the ruins, regained the lost civilization, and built a series of dwellings in the new era.
City.
For thousands of years, Yunling City has a long history. Although it cannot compare with those ancient cities floating in the sky, it still has an important status.
Moreover, Qingyun School is a famous training school in Jianglingxing Province.
Also built in this city.
However, this city is located in the north of Jiangling Province, and the road is far away. To get there, you need to pass through the vast plains of beasts, as well as several mountains and swamps, and there will even be monsters who escaped from the spiritual realm on the way.
, as well as the presence of ferocious beasts, it is full of dangers, and ordinary mortals cannot go there on their own.
Fortunately, the government of the dynasty built railways, allowing people who were far apart to communicate.
Outside the slums, on the outskirts of Fengyang County, lies an old station that has been in disrepair.
Lin Fan walked more than ten miles, and soon after, the dilapidated train station appeared in front of him.
The station is small and looks very shabby and crude. The outside of the station is surrounded by a fence woven with iron caltrops. Most of the buildings inside are full of cracks and covered with various graffiti.
Crowds of people came and went in the station, noisy, steady middle-aged uncles, beautiful young girls, all kinds of people walking in a hurry, everyone dragging their luggage, many people gathered on the platform, waving goodbye, and then lowered their heads
His head stood silently, and the air was filled with sadness.
There was a burst of choking in the wind, and a girl covered her mouth and cried sadly after saying goodbye to her family.
Not far away, a couple who were about to part ways hugged each other tightly and looked at each other in silence.
It seems that this couple should have a deep relationship, but now they have to be separated from each other. Alas... I don't know when they will be able to get together again. Long-distance relationships are too painful...
Lin Fan watched this scene quietly, feeling sorry for them and feeling much relieved...
Among the noisy crowd, Lin Fan looked inconspicuous.
He walked to the waiting hall and looked at the huge clock on the wall. The time displayed on it——
6:30.
The train to Yungling City leaves on time at seven o'clock sharp.
It was still early, so Lin Fan found a seat in the waiting hall and sat down, waiting for the train to arrive.
Not long after, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front, and there were screams of exclamation. A figure suddenly collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, and making a painful sound from his mouth.
It was a middle-aged man of about forty years old, wearing a blue suit, dark complexion, thin figure, wearing a tall top hat. When he fell just now, the hat fell to the ground, revealing a
A pale and sunken face.
He looked like he had been suffering from illness for a long time, and his expression was haggard and tired.
This incident soon attracted the attention of the station staff.
"Sir, what's wrong with you? Can you speak?" A staff member squatted next to the man and asked urgently.
"This gentleman may have a sudden illness. Go and notify the doctor quickly!"
Soon, in the panic on the side, several doctors from the station hurried over. They carefully checked the man's condition, and they all showed solemn expressions.
"What kind of disease is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
The speaker was an old man with white hair, his eyes full of surprise. This was the first time he had encountered this kind of disease in his decades of medical practice.
Another doctor said: "Now is not the time to discuss the disease. His current condition is very dangerous. We must find a way to cure him as soon as possible..."
"But if we can't even find the cause, how can we treat it..."
However, faced with the middle-aged man's condition, the doctors at the station were helpless. They did not dare to treat him randomly. If there was an emergency, they could not bear the responsibility.
In the distance, Lin Fan looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground twitching in pain, feeling that the vitality in his body was gradually disappearing, and felt a little unbearable in his heart.
"I don't know if my holy healing technique will be effective..."
His Star Seal skill can heal injuries, but he is not sure whether it can cure the disease. However, the middle-aged uncle is now like this. He has already rolled his eyes.
Well... In this case, according to my mother's philosophy of life, I should treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor...
It is a human life after all.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan stood up and walked over, saying to a group of doctors: "Let me try it."
Hearing this, everyone in the waiting hall cast doubtful glances. After all, Lin Fan was only a sixteen-year-old boy. He looked young and delicate. As the saying goes, if you don't talk well, you can't do anything. What he said was really hard to convince.
People are convinced.
"Well...actually I am a knight..."
Faced with everyone's doubts, Lin Fan spread his hands, walked forward, and carefully examined the middle-aged man's condition.
By this time, he had passed out and was lying straight on the ground, his body still twitching like a conditioned reflex.
On the man's neck, there is a black mark shaped like a blooming lotus.
Lin Fan saw the mark inadvertently, and his eyes were stunned for a moment. Since he awakened the destiny constellation of Aries, he seems to have activated some strange ability, and his perception has become extremely sharp, and he seems to be able to premonition.
to some unknown existence.
At this moment, in Lin Fan's eyes...
That black lotus mark seems to exude some kind of ominous atmosphere, giving people an uneasy feeling...
"This uncle doesn't seem to be sick..."
Lin Fan frowned, then circulated the power of the Holy Yuan surrounding his body, and silently recited in his heart: Star Seal, holy healing.
A bright starlight penetrated the man's body.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man's body quickly calmed down, his face that was twisted in pain also relaxed, his breathing gradually stabilized, and the vitality in his body began to recover.
"Holy healing is really effective..."
The middle-aged man looked calm, as if he was immersed in sleep.
And strangely, Lin Fan found that the color of the lotus mark seemed to have become lighter...
At the same time, in his doubtful eyes, a crisp voice suddenly sounded from the Aries star chart.
"bite--!"
Merit points +1000.
…
Hearing this prompt, Lin Fan was a little confused for a moment. When he realized what he was doing, he gasped, "Hey, 1,000 merit points, who is this middle-aged uncle?"
Also, what disease did he have that made him gift me so many merits...
At this moment, when the people in the waiting hall saw that the middle-aged uncle was really being treated, they suddenly heard a voice of surprise, and looked at Lin Fan with a hint of awe.
Unexpectedly, this boy is really a knight, and he is also a rare medical type...
