Space itself is a kind of great power.
Allen got off the transport airship and stood in the open harbor square, deeply experiencing this point. Heavily armed soldiers maintained order around the square, and behind their human walls were onlookers of Babylon. The nobles who lived on the floating island looked eagerly at the children who walked down from the receiving airship and cheered at them.
A total of 22 receiving airships entered Statue of Liberty Harbor. Today, the largest port in Babylon was opened to the participants of the death arena. Allen saw about twenty boys and girls of his age disembark from their respective airships. Like Allen, most of them were shocked by the scene in front of them and were stunned for a moment.
However, one or two youths smiled and waved at the Babylonian nobles. Some even blew kisses, causing the cheers to become even louder.
At this moment, a huge shadow appeared on the ground of the plaza. Allen raised his head and saw that it was an airship. Beneath the streamlined hull was a rectangular metal pod. There was a large screen on each side of the pod, and on the screen was a welcome scene from Goddess Harbor Square.
"That's a live broadcast produced by the organizing committee of the death arena. Ignore them. Doing the same thing every time, it's really not creative at all. "Tonislaw pushed Allen and said," Let's go, baby. Time waits for no one. "
At the exit of the plaza, there were all six rows of flying cars parked. They were also powered by Magic Cube energy, using an anti-gravity engine drive system. It looked a little like a giant dragonfly, with a streamlined main body and a stable support bar at the back. A baffle and control blade were located behind the support bar, forming a rudder-like component that could be used to change direction.
Each six-row flying car has only two seats. It is provided for the guide and the contestants to travel to the designated training base for a month of final training. Tonislaw took Allen to one of the flying cars marked with the number "13". Allen was going to sit down, but the second lieutenant asked him to stand. "You have to stand so they can see you clearly. Listen baby, even though the competition doesn't start until a month later. But in fact, the competition between you and the other children has already begun. Trust me, you need to be on your best behavior. The more people like you, the more advantageous it will be for you. "
The flying cars started up one by one. Stabilizing ailerons extended from both sides of the motorcycle, and the power unit at the bottom began to move. Under the effect of the anti-gravity engine, the motorcycle floated steadily and stopped 20 centimeters from the ground. It then turned around and drove out of the port in an orderly manner.
The convoy moved along the route designated by the organizers. Above the convoy, the steam-powered airship tailed them the whole way. Two hosts, one male and one female, appeared on the big screen, introducing the teenagers from the various boroughs to the inhabitants of Babylon in a humorous tone. Along the way, the youths on the six carriages were welcomed by the nobles of the floating island.
They cheered, shouted, and pointed at the youngsters who passed by, commenting on them.
Although Tonislaw wanted Allen to smile, he really couldn't. After the initial shock, he found that the inhabitants of Babylon were all in high spirits, but Allen couldn't see the slightest bit of friendliness in their eyes. These people looked at him as if they were looking at a rare animal. Perhaps to these noble people, they and the others were like sideshows on the stage, while they were the audience preparing to enjoy a grand performance.
That's right, the audience! They stood here to welcome the surface youths who had come to the floating island, just to watch the performance in advance. As for the life and death of the tools, they didn't care. Perhaps the death of a cat or dog would make them feel sorry for a while. As for the untouchables on the surface, they couldn't even compare to the pets they kept.
Tonislaw sighed as he looked at Allen's expressionless face.
At this time, in the airship in the sky, the host said, "Lucen of District 12 is such a bad-tempered child. I hope he will perform better in the future. Well, let's take a look at the contestants in District 13. Well, his name is Allen … Oh, my God. What a special child this is. "
The scene on the big screen changed, and Allen's image appeared. In the picture, Allen was standing in the No. 6 car. There was no smile on his face. His lips were tightly pursed, and there was even a trace of anger in his eyes. However, the Babylonians couldn't help but exclaim in admiration at his decent clothes, handsome facial features, and special silver hair.
The host said, "I believe everyone has seen it, our dear Allen. Heavens, if it weren't for the fact that the information in my hand shows that he is from District 13, I wouldn't have believed that this youth came from the surface even if I were beaten to death. I prefer to believe that he is a young master from a high noble family. Look at his temperament and his noble appearance. Do you believe it? He actually came from the surface? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the nobles on both sides of the highway shouted.
"How is this possible? Are you mistaken? How could such a beautiful youth come from a place full of rubbish on the surface! "
"Oh my god, could this be some young master who accidentally landed on the surface?"
"The organizing committee should have thoroughly investigated. It is impossible for the untouchables on the surface to have such a noble temperament!"
Amidst these loud discussions, there were even young women who screamed, "I love you, Allen."
On the No. 6 car, Allen's expression turned even uglier. The youth whispered, "They're so noisy."
Tonislaw laughed, "The more noisy they are, the better it is for you, baby."
On the airship, the host added, "Everyone, our little Allen has a special story. Do you know, the number on his body should have belonged to a little fatty named Beth? But the little fatty's father asked Allen to replace his son and handed over our little Allen. Of course, the father and son have already been punished. However, after Second Lieutenant Ron discovered this matter, he gave Allen a chance. He could have chosen to quit, but our young master chose to stay. What kind of courage is this! "
On the screen of the airship, a scene of the execution of the Hernes father and son was inserted. Finally, the host said, "Let's look forward to Allen's next performance."
A pocket watch fell to the polished floor.
In a certain corner of the floating island, a live broadcast of the welcome scene was projected on the wall of a room. On the screen was Allen's childish face. Someone froze the image and then stared at the youth in the image, entranced. After a while, he sat down weakly on a gray sand.
He reached out and picked up the pocket watch on the floor. There was a photograph in the pocket watch. There was a girl in the photo. The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old. His delicate little face was filled with stubbornness. His demeanor and appearance were very similar to the Allen in the image.
"Ten years old? Or eleven years old? Regardless of their ages, they were very compatible in terms of time. And this face, oh my god … Lanny, could he be your child? "
The man tapped a silver bell on the table, and a moment later, someone who looked like a butler walked in. The man pointed at the screen and said, "I want the genetic comparison of this child!"
"Who is it compared to?" The butler asked cautiously.
"Me!"
The butler lowered his head and said, "Master, the committee will not let outsiders come into contact with these children."
"I don't care what method you use, you have to do it for me! Otherwise, scram! "The man roared with an irrefutable tone.
"I see." The butler nodded and retreated.
The man seemed to have lost all his strength and sat back down. He held his head in his hands and said painfully, "How could this be? What if he really is Lanny's child? How am I going to save him from that hell? I'm so stupid. If I had known you would be so stubborn, I wouldn't have stopped you back then. At least you can still be by my side, Lanny, my child … "
He looked painfully at the scene on the wall, at Allen, and groaned, "God, please don't do this to me. I've already lost one family member. Please don't let me lose another. If he is. "
Allen didn't know that there was a person who was immersed in painful memories because of his appearance. He only knew that when the automatic door to the training base building closed, his ears immediately became much quieter. The base building is divided into 23 floors, and it has been used as a training ground for contestants in the death arena for a month before the competition. During this month, each of them will receive guidance from a mentor alone in order to improve their skills and thus have a greater chance of surviving the competition.
Each floor corresponds to a district, and the top floor is used by the organizing committee for the competition. It is also used to inspect the contestants in the various districts from time to time.
Looking at Tonislaw walking in front of him like a model, Allen suddenly felt that this second lieutenant wasn't as annoying as before. At least he didn't look at himself like the inhabitants of Babylon as if he were looking at an entertainment tool. Tonislaw brought little Allen to the 13th floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, he smelled a strong fragrance of wine wafting in the corridor.
"I forgot to tell you, this old fellow Hughton is still a drunkard." Tonislaw stepped hard across the corridor floor with his cold high heels and entered the password in front of an electronic door. The automatic door retracted on both sides and opened into an open space.
The entrance was a dining area. Allen saw a long dining table and neatly arranged chairs. There was a refrigerator and wine cabinet beside it. There was even an open kitchen. At the back was the training area. It was spacious enough and was decorated with all kinds of equipment. There was also a weapon rack in the corner of the south wall, filled with guns and swords.
At the end were a few rooms, which should be for the contestants and mentors to rest.
A man was lying on the dining table, with a few empty bottles scattered at his feet. In his hand on the table, he was still holding a half-empty bottle of wine. The amber whiskey inside was flowing down from the tilted mouth of the bottle, forming a small puddle on the floor.
"Oh, Mr. Hughton. Damn it, Major General, you got yourself drunk again! "Tonislaw screamed and strode over to shake the man.
The man slept like a dead pig, and no matter how Tonislaw shook him, he didn't wake up. The second lieutenant was so angry that he stamped his feet like a woman. Suddenly, he saw the wine bottle in his hand and immediately took it. Then, he shook the mouth of the bottle back and forth at the man's nose. Suddenly, he moved. He almost jumped up and shouted, "Good wine! What a fragrant wine! Give it to me, give it to me! "
"Mr. Hughton, you're finally awake." Tonislaw threw the bottle back to him.
Without saying a word, the man picked up the bottle and drank all the wine in it. Then, he hiccupped and said, "It's you, Tonislaw. Didn't you go on vacation? "
"Mr. Hughton, I went to the surface to pick someone up. Don't tell me you've forgotten that the new Death Arena is going to start in a month? "
"Of … of course." The man yawned and said, "Those guys on the committee asked me to be a mentor to a kid and promised me a box of top-notch volcanic beauties after the competition. That's a fine wine from Adahua Planet. How could I miss it? "
"Thank God you haven't drunk yourself out of your head. Then, this is the player you want to guide. From District 13, his name is Allen. "Tonislaw waved to Allen.
Allen walked over.
Finally, he saw clearly that this was an old man in his fifties. However, Allen swore that he had never seen such a strong old man before. Wrinkles had already crawled on his face, and his bags had turned green from years of drinking. However, his body was as strong as a bear, and even Ron was thinner than him. When he stood up completely, he was like a mountain, and Allen was completely submerged in his shadow!
Strangely enough, Tonislaw had already said that Hughton was a major general. Words. Logically speaking, his Origin Energy should be stronger than Ron's. However, Allen couldn't see the slightest bit of Origin Energy on his body. Beside him, the faint green fluorescence on Tonislaw's body told Allen that his ability had not failed.
"Is it this brat? Looks alright. Let me see what you've learned in Ron's doghouse. "Hughton stretched out his big hand and pressed it against Allen's forehead.
Allen subconsciously retreated, but for some reason, his forehead was still pressed down by Hughton's hand. Hughton's palm began to heat up. Only then did Allen realize that not only did this old man possess Origin Energy, the flames of Origin Energy were extremely bright. It was like a small sun rising within his body, and Allen couldn't help but close his eyes.
"Yes, I've already forged four vortexes of Origin Energy. Did it only take four months? The attribute of Origin Energy … is too weak to be felt for the time being. But the potential is still alright. Wait … "
Hughton was originally sleepy, but suddenly, his lazy expression was swept away, and his eyes even became sharp.
Tonislaw stood at the side, as if he was sweating for Allen. Seeing Hughton's expression change, the second lieutenant couldn't help but ask nervously, "What happened?"
Hughton let go of Allen and his expression became a little strange. Then he looked at Tonislaw and said, "Are you sure you didn't pick up the wrong person?"
"Of course not!"
"Then this brat doesn't need my guidance."
"Why?" The second lieutenant asked.
