Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

#1270 - Chapter 1270 Dark Future

In the real world.

An ordinary, yet incredibly special day.

————————————

"War, war."

"It's that damn war again!"

"Why the hell won't this war end?"

In a dim basement, a boy named Zhang Zhao roared and tore the newspaper in his hand to shreds.

"It's all those damn lords' fault!"

"If they hadn't started a rebellion, how could we have ended up like this?"

"Our human empire was originally a kingdom of extreme wealth."

"But now..."

Zhang Zhao said fiercely.

"Even getting a bite to eat has become a problem for us!"

"Damn it, damn it!"

"Those damn lords!"

Hearing Zhang Zhao's anger, a little girl in the corner of the basement, who was scribbling in a book, immediately shed a tear.

Clearly.

She was frightened by her brother's voice.

"Brother."

"I... I...."

"I don't want to be a lord anymore, please don't hate me."

Hearing his sister say this, the boy named Zhang Zhao immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"I'm sorry, sister, that's not what I meant."

Zhang Zhao quickly walked over, touched his sister's head, and gently comforted her.

"What I really hate are those lords who betrayed the human empire!"

"It is their greed that has led to the disintegration of our human empire!"

"But you are different from them."

"You, like me, are loyal subjects of the human empire."

"And you, you are much smarter than me, you must become a lord in the future!"

Zhang Zhao smiled and pointed to the perfect score sheet in front of his sister.

"Because only if you become a high-ranking human lord can I have you take me to live a good life, right?"

After speaking, Zhang Zhao seemed to remember something.

He turned around and searched for an iron box in the nearby pile of garbage in the basement.

Finally, after a period of groping, he found a damp but still clean compressed biscuit in the iron box.

"Here, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Stop studying for now."

"That old man Li has given you too much homework."

"Eat first, then study after eating."

Hearing her brother say this, Zhang Zhao's sister's eyes lit up immediately as she stuffed a small portion of the biscuit into her mouth.

Clearly, in a resource-scarce real world, the value of such a biscuit is much higher than many people imagine.

But just as his sister was enjoying the mellow fragrance of the biscuit, she suddenly realized that her brother in front of her didn't seem to have eaten either.

So she quickly stuffed the remaining biscuit into Zhang Zhao's hand.

"Brother, you eat."

Zhang Zhao smiled and touched his sister's head.

"No need, I'm not hungry."

"Besides, I'll go scavenging outside later and find something to eat, and bring you back more biscuits."

Hearing her brother say this, Zhang Zhao's sister's eyes also lit up.

"Really?"

"Really."

Finally, after eating the last biscuit and finishing the homework assigned by the school, it was time for Zhang Zhao's sister to sleep.

"Brother, I want to hear a story."

"Hear a story?"

"Okay."

"Whose story do you want to hear?"

"The story of a lord!"

His sister, eager to become a loyalist lord, said firmly.

"I want to hear about..."

"That Wu... Wu something, the mad lord's story!"

Sure enough, it was that madman's story again.

Compared to many loyalist lords, his sister still preferred to hear the story of that both righteous and evil, but powerful and crazy lord.

Zhang Zhao smiled.

And slowly began to tell the story.

"According to many lords, a few years before the Great Rebellion, a rising star emerged in the entire human empire."

"He was so dazzling, so crazy."

"He once defeated the elites of the previous generation's War College and defeated the Giant King Ymir...."

"He made all the lords in the empire shudder, but also made all the strong respect him."

"He was neither a rebel nor a loyalist, he only served his own interests....."

"At that time, he had a pair of scarlet eyes, he had..."

"But unfortunately, he disappeared."

"....."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhao noticed that his sister had fallen asleep.

Zhang Zhao, who stopped talking, couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas."

"If that madman was still around, that would be great."

"If he was still around, then this war might have ended long ago."

While sighing, Zhang Zhao tiptoed up, picked up a backpack by the window, and walked towards the door of the basement.

"Yes."

"If he really existed."

After saying that, Zhang Zhao pushed open the door in front of him.

Instantly.

Countless rotten smells and faint gunshots rushed towards him, causing Zhang Zhao to frown.

At this moment, it was late at night.

But the city where Zhang Zhao was located was still not peaceful.

Because half of the city was still firmly occupied by the rebels.

These so-called rebels, even after ten years of war, were still not tired of war, and were still attacking Zhang Zhao and others, the so-called loyalists, every day.

And Zhang Zhao and these loyalists were trying their best to maintain their front line.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao walked out of the ruins of his home, passed through a small path, and came to a school that had been half-destroyed.

"What a pity."

"If I still had money, I would also want to go to school to study."

Although the war was still going on, the foundation of the human empire was still there.

The human empire's program for training lords was still continuing.

But the problem was that the lords of the human empire now, if they wanted to study, it was not as simple as it was before the war.

Because only those children who were qualified enough and had money had the qualifications to continue studying.

Zhang Zhao desperately searched for useful things in the battlefield ruins, so that his sister could barely have books to read.

This was already the limit of his ability.

But an even more realistic problem was.

Zhang Zhao's qualifications were simply not enough.

Because the lords of the current lord era need to take an advance test in a major subject.

That is war game deduction!

And Zhang Zhao's entry test score in this subject back then was only a mere top two hundred.

This result made him lose the qualification to study forever.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

Because he clearly remembered.

When he was still young and the rebellion had not happened, all students were qualified to study.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but hate those rebellious lords even more.

Of course.

There was also a sentence that he didn't say.

And couldn't say.

Because......

Compared to those so-called rebels, Zhang Zhao actually hated the human empire even more.

The dark, corrupt human empire high-level!

Because the human empire in his ideal was not what it is now.

The reason why he was loyal was only because he was loyal to the human empire itself!

————————————

In the dimness.

Zhang Zhao began to move towards the predetermined goal as usual.

In his memory, there were many houses called villas on this road.

Although ten years had passed, there were still many things in these houses that could be sold for cash.

This kind of dirty money was actually the qualification for Zhang Zhao's sister to go to school.

Although it was still half a month before the next tuition fee was due, Zhang Zhao already needed to prepare in advance.

But.

Now his heart was extremely nervous.

Because he knew that if he continued to walk along this road, then he was likely to encounter those so-called rebels.

These bastards who did not obey the empire's orders would not mind killing a child who was still a loyalist.

Thinking of this.

Zhang Zhao's footsteps became lighter.

But unfortunately.

Before he had walked a few kilometers, he strangely discovered that in front of him, there was a rebel lying down who had already lost his life.

To be honest, the next second after seeing this rebel.

Zhang Zhao almost screamed silently.

But he still held back.

Not because of his high military quality or something, but simply because.

In front of him, not only this rebel died.

Hundreds of rebels were stacked like mountains in front of a cemetery.

And a black shadow was standing in front of a tombstone, gently wiping the tombstone.

Just as Zhang Zhao noticed this black shadow.

This black shadow also noticed him.

And Zhang Zhao was horrified to find.

This black shadow actually had....

A pair of scarlet eyes that could glow in the dark!

It was the eyes of that madman!
