Time flies.
As the time for the entrance examination approaches, the entire Grade 12 students at Weston Secondary Education School begin to become visibly busy, in order to obtain a satisfactory result for themselves and their families in the examination that will soon determine their future. .
But among the nervous people, Alexander Pompey seemed out of place. His relaxed and comfortable look did not look like he was about to face a life decision.
In this regard, several of his friends also warned Alexander several times, but they were all ignored by him.
After all, for institutions of higher learning that are inaccessible to the general public, and for the glorious aristocrats of a mythical civilization, the future is no longer difficult to determine.
"The Galactic Federation and the Borg mythical civilization are two civilizations with completely opposite systems, cultures, and political systems. Because they are in two adjacent star fields, they have had wars, cooperation, and competition with each other for countless centuries. However, since the "Star Sea" in K3758 "Chronicle of the Zerg", that is, 5,000 years ago, due to the invasion of the Zerg and Wizard civilizations, the two sides have always been allies..."
"...Different from the bank federation of democratically elected governments, the Borg mythical civilization has been ruled by gods and glorious nobles for countless years. Based on the "Edict", we will shepherd billions of people on behalf of the gods..."
"Based on this basis, the glorious nobles have a series of titles such as born holy ones, descendants of gods and heroes, supreme rulers of Borg mythical star domain bloodline orthodoxy, etc. This guarantees the rationality and legality of their rule... …”
"Honorary nobles are divided into seven categories: monarch, vice monarch, duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron.Except for the prince who has always been loyal to the family, there is no affiliation between the titles of each level. Even if they are princes and ministers, Certain unspoken rules must also be adhered to. Therefore, except for differences in power and territory, essentially all honorary nobles belong to the same class..."
"They have their own territory, army, laws and administrative officials. It can be said that every glorious noble is an absolute dictator of the territory they rule. Their words and deeds determine the lives of countless ordinary people, and they can launch wars at will. and modify the law. For the supreme nobles of glory, the only highest law that needs to be obeyed is the "Sacred Instructions on the Top of the Borg God's Seat"..."
"The current number of orthodox glorious nobles in the Borg mythical civilization is 732. Although this number will change with the changes of the times, most of the glorious noble families have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of generations and have a history of more than ten thousand years... "
"Therefore, these glorious nobles who have been passed down for countless generations and have tens of thousands of years of history are the [cornerstones] that form and operate the huge star field of the Borg mythical civilization."
In the library, Alexander finally finished reading the masterpiece "The Cornerstone of the Borg Mythical Civilization: The Glorious Nobles" written by Plato Socrates, a famous scholar of the Galactic Federation.
Beside him, there are also "Sacred Instructions on the Top of the Borg God's Seat", "War and Peace: The Collision of Two Civilizations", "Detailed Explanation of the Classification of Glory Nobles", "The Glorious Years of Gods and Monarchs", "Glory Nobility" "Genealogical Inheritance", "Another Civilization: The Science of Badges"... and a series of professional books.
These were books that Alexander would never come into contact with originally. The reason why he spent so much time reading them during this period was because of the fate-changing opportunity not long ago.
"[Cornerstone], I didn't expect that one day I would be called such a name." Alexander closed the book in his hand that had a complex pattern on the cover and beautiful edges.
Although it has only been a few weeks, he has already shown a calmness that is completely different from the previous period, and all changes are subtle.
He looked at the various tomes he had read during this period, and a strange feeling suddenly emerged in his heart, "There is such a physical paper book in the interstellar era, but according to the book, this is the Borg myth. The characteristics of places dominated by civilization are, in some respects, even more backward than those planets with the lowest level of civilization.”
Alexander decided to see the truth in person, but before that, he still had some preparations to complete.
After a while, Alexander walked out of the library at a leisurely pace. At this moment, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and a group of students poured out of the teaching building. They were riding maglev skateboards, chatting and laughing alone or in groups of three or five. Head towards the cafeteria and library.
"It's really a picture full of youth and vitality. It's a pity that this kind of life will be far away from me. What will greet me will be a road destined to be extraordinary."
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
Looking at this lively and energetic scene, Alexander had just finished reading a lot of 'glorious deeds' about the glorious nobles, and this thought suddenly flashed through Alexander's mind.
"Alexander William, it's really you! Someone actually skipped class and came to the library to read. Are you being manipulated by a wizard or possessed by a heart flayer?"
At this moment, a crisp voice filled with surprise and curiosity interrupted Alexander's reverie.
A girl wearing the uniform of Weston Secondary Education School, but unable to conceal her huge chest and long legs, jumped off the maglev skateboard and jumped in front of Alexander.
"Candice Latin, it seems that you have a deep prejudice against me, so you can't just make my last effort before the entrance exam."
Candice Latin has a delicate face and long flaxen hair. She is tall and sexy. Because of her cheerful personality and bright temperament, she is a popular figure in this school.
Because she and Smith's ex-girlfriend Jones are best friends, she and Alexander are quite familiar with each other.
At this time, her dark eyes fell on Alexander without blinking, and after a long time she said: "It seems that they are right, you have indeed become a little different Alexander, but it is not a bad change, now You look more confident than before."
Alexander shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment Candice. This is just a small 'change' in your life. If you have nothing else to do, then allow me to say goodbye to you."
"What a weird accent! But I feel relieved to see that everything is fine with you. In any case, I wish you a satisfactory result in this entrance exam."
Candice Latin suddenly approached Alexander and offered a sincere blessing in a gentle voice, which made Alexander's heart beat.
It wasn't until the girl's light figure floated away that Alexander shook his head for a long time, putting aside the strange emotion just now.
After walking out of the school gate, Alexander used the terminal to call a driverless flying car. He was lying on the ergonomic seat in the back, and a pleasant voice sounded in the car.
"Dear passenger, please tell me the address you are going to."
Alexander originally wanted to return to his home in the Melbourne neighborhood, but by some mistake, the address he gave changed to "The flea market on SD15 Commercial Avenue, thank you."
"Okay, thank you for riding. This trip took 12 minutes and 25 seconds. I wish you a faster journey."
In the next second, the flying car quickly rose into the air and merged into the traffic flow on the suspended track above. It was speeding forward at a high speed that was fast on the outside but not felt the slightest vibration on the inside.
Twelve minutes and 30 seconds later, Alexander was already standing at the door of the flea market in the southwest direction of SD15 Commercial Avenue.
This is a broad commercial street covering an area of 100,000 square meters. Two rows of shops extend towards the market. Each shop occupies a huge area. On the ground in front of the shop, there are various strange shapes and historical figures. A strange creation of breath.
Although this is a flea market, it is full of high-tech and novelty. Gorgeous holographic three-dimensional projections continuously project images of various commodities in the air. It is the largest flea market and Taobao mecca in the city, attracting a large number of people. Come here to see a lively and bustling scene.
Alexander stepped into it with familiarity and stopped from time to time to look at various novel products.
This place used to be one of his favorite places. According to the plots in those fantasy movies and TV series, he had fantasized countless times that one day he would buy an "ancient treasure" with strange power here, and thus step into an exciting and wonderful journey. Adventure journey.
Unfortunately, because he has not yet joined the workforce and has too few coins in his pocket, his wish has never been fulfilled.
Of course, this time Alexander came here not to fulfill his wish, but to a store called "Daddy Asa's Weapon Shop", opened the door and walked in.
The decoration style of the huge store is biased towards the wild and primitive style. What strikes the eye is the furniture made of logs and the blankets woven from the furs of unknown animals.
On the walls on both sides of the shop, there are metal weapons with simple shapes hanging, including spears with cold light, exaggerated and ferocious war hammers, giant swords with cold light on their blades, and more that Alexander cannot name, but A cold weapon era weapon with an extremely exaggerated shape.
In contrast, various empty wine bottles were rolling down on the ground, and a strong smell of alcohol filled the whole room.
Alexander carefully stepped over the wine bottles, only to see a sloppy old man with gnarled muscles, a full beard, and one eye lying on the recliner behind the solid wood counter, sound asleep, with crystal saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth from time to time.
"Dad Asa, I'm here to find you!"
Alexander's huge voice suddenly woke up the drunken old man, and he jumped up from the recliner after letting out a huge belch.
His vision was blurred for a moment, and after a while, his one eye focused on Alexander, and he said in a loud and dissatisfied voice: "You bastard! How dare you disturb Father Asa's sleep? Do you know what a serious crime this is? "
Alexander curled his lips disdainfully and said lazily: "Dad, I always see you sleeping every time I come here. No customer has come to the door for so long. I really wonder how you can keep this store open."
With a glaring look on his face, Father Asa picked up the wine bottle next to the lounge chair and took a sip first. With his mouth full of alcohol, he shouted: "Everything I have here is a treasure. If there are no customers, it will be like that." Ordinary people have no vision, what do you know?!"
Alexander shrugged, "Of course I don't understand, Father Asa. But now is the interstellar era where battleships and mechas are bombarding each other. Apart from having enough history, the only purpose of these 'treasures' of yours is to be displayed by collectors." Put it in the showroom for people to see.”
"You rude boy, one day you will know how stupid what you said today is!"
"I'm thinking about your life. You don't want to live on the street one day and need help from the stupid boy you call..."
The two have known each other for many years, and they have always been joking and sarcastic with each other, just like a pair who have been friends for many years.
Father Asa's one eye glanced up and down at Alexander, and suddenly said: "Your kid is in a bad state today. Did something big enough to change your life happen?"
Although Alexander had known that this old man looked slovenly and inconspicuous, but had excellent wisdom and experience, he did not expect that the other party would notice something strange about him at a glance.
Hearing the old man's question, Alexander showed hesitation and hesitation on his face, and then sighed: "As expected, I can't hide anything from you, Father Asa. But for some reasons, I can't tell you what happened specifically. But you are right, something big enough to change my life did happen."
