From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

Tian Yu and John followed the flow of people and squeezed towards the square in the central city, where a platform had been set up and guards were around to maintain order.

There was still an hour before the trial began, but the area around the platform was already packed with people.

The two used their physical advantages to finally occupy a good position in the front row.

At nine o'clock in the morning, people started to enter the platform one after another. After a strict inspection by the guards, a figure that Tian Yu had once glanced at walked onto the platform surrounded by the crowd.

He wore a robe that symbolized the city lord's authority and held a scepter that emitted silver light. With the city lord's arrival, the square became more noisy.

Tian Yu's face was hidden under the veil that the women of Silver Moon City often wore. He looked fixedly at the Lord of Silver Moon City. The black threads spreading behind him became clearer this time under the sunny sunlight.

The number of people in the square today is probably close to 10,000. Soldiers are already standing at the edge of the square preventing residents from pouring in. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it seems that only Tian Yu can see the horrifying scene happening to the city lord.

As the sound transmission devices around the platform began to amplify the sound of the platform, the originally noisy crowd gradually began to quiet down.

An official holding a sheet of paper stood on the podium in the center of the platform and began to read the opening speech of today's trial:

“银月城荣耀的居民们！相信十八日前的大火诸位都有所耳闻！位于上城区的银月公爵府，在银月历865年2月1日晚10点26分突发大火，银月城的卫队第一时间对公爵府进行了扑救......”

As officials spoke, the fire reappeared before everyone's eyes, and countless tabloid reporters and recorders were writing down today's scene.

"We found a total of 18 bodies at the fire scene. After several days of investigation and verification by the police department..."

The audience held their breath, wanting to know whether Duke Silver Moon was among the eighteen people.

There were nearly a hundred guards and servants in the Duke's Mansion, but only eighteen people died in this late-night fire? Tian Yu's eyebrows jumped. It was possible that their death was not caused by the fire.

"Among them, the bodies of the Duke of Silver Moon Buck Silver Moon, the Duchess Jones Stuart Silver Moon, and the Duke's daughter Vivian Silver Moon were not found!"

The quiet square was suddenly in an uproar. Discussions and exclamations spread across the originally quiet square, temporarily drowning out the sound from the microphone.

"Quiet! Quiet!" The sheriff and guards began to maintain order. The official on the podium made a calm gesture, waiting for the square to quiet down again.

The three masters of the Silver Moon Duke's Mansion were not among the victims of the fire. Where did they go? Everyone began to look forward to the officials' answers. Many people had already remembered the gossip that had been circulating in the past few days. Everyone was saying that the Silver Moon Duke had colluded with the Southern Fortress City and tried to overthrow the authority of Silver Moon City.

If nothing unexpected happens, the city lord will soon make the final decision on this matter. Tian Yu is unmoved and wants to see what they are up to.

"We found some important information in the study of Duke Silver Moon. After investigating and interrogating people who knew the situation, an unbelievable truth surfaced!"

"The guardian of Silvermoon City, our most honorable Lord City Lord, will come to announce the final results of the investigation!"

Tian Yu watched as the Lord of Silver Moon City, dressed in gorgeous clothes, finally stood up from his chair. She knew that his next words would create a false enemy and bring the people of Silver Moon City together.

"In the twenty years since I took over Silver Moon City, Buck Silver Moon has assisted me wholeheartedly and developed this city into the largest city in the south..."

"Although I never believed that he would betray Silvermoon City, the facts are before my eyes. For the future of this city and for the residents living here..."

"Duke Buck Silvermoon of Silvermoon colluded with the Fortress City for three years..."

Tian Yu closed his eyes. Amid the discussions around him, the outbreak of this war seemed to be a foregone conclusion. The excuse for the army's march was now echoing over the square in broad daylight.

Just as the city lord was reading out the charges against the Duke of Silvermoon and announcing that his title would be stripped and that he and his family would be labeled traitors of Silvermoon City, unusual movements were heard from the edge of the square.

Amid the noise of the entire square, that small movement did not attract anyone's attention, but in a short moment, the noise grew louder and louder until everyone nearby turned their heads to look.

On the high platform, the city lord also noticed this situation, and the voice that was originally reading the verdict stopped -

"Bang!" The elemental machine knocked away the guards who tried to stop it and moved straight towards the platform. The people around it made way to avoid the rampaging machine.

The scene became chaotic for a moment.

The people around Tian Yu squeezed towards her position. She avoided being stepped on and looked at the machine. She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

On top of the machine stood a thin blonde girl, with light emitting from her hands, controlling the movement of the machine. Tian Yu's pupils shrank - Vivian!

There was no sign of Yor beside her anymore, and she must have returned to the city alone. At this moment, Tian Yu knew that she had made her first friend in the copy, and her fate began to fall in an irreversible direction.

Pushing aside the crowd around her, Tian Yu tried to go to the machine and stop Vivian's actions, but the crowded and chaotic crowd made it difficult for her to move. A golden light emerged from her hands that were submerged in the crowd.

John desperately held down Tian Yu's right hand, which was already glowing golden. "Calm down!"

The golden light faded, and Tian Yu looked at Vivian, who had reached the edge of the platform, with sad eyes.

The girl jumped down from the top of the machine and came to the high platform. A scroll appeared in her hand and she summoned three tall elemental spirits. The guards who originally wanted to capture her stopped their steps and stared at her eagerly.

Vivian walked forward fearlessly until she reached the center of the platform, surrounded by the elemental spirits.

The restless crowd looked at the girl standing opposite the city lord. The timid ones were ready to flee the square today, but more were curious about the newcomer. They guessed the girl's identity and purpose. Someone suddenly remembered something and was about to share the girl's identity with the people around him.

"I am Vivian Silver Moon." Vivian's voice echoed above the square through the voice transmission device. Tian Yu gritted his teeth and analyzed the possibility of taking Vivian away from here.

"No need to take me away, I'm ready." Vivian's voice sounded again, and this sentence seemed to be said specifically for Tian Yu.

The elemental spirit enveloped the city lord, making the guards dare not act rashly.

"This trial is a complete conspiracy!" Vivian scolded. Tian Yu looked at her calm face. Perhaps she had this plan a few days ago, but he didn't even realize it.

"My father, Buck Silvermoon, is not a traitor to Silvermoon City. He has worked hard for Silvermoon City. His purpose is simple, which is to stop this group of despicable people from launching a war for their own benefit!"

"I studied in the Seeking Knowledge Highlands for several years. Three years ago, a fable descended upon the highlands." Vivian turned and looked in the direction of the Elemental Tower of Silvermoon City, and silver light appeared on her body.

"I make this plea to the Elemental Tower as the glory of Silvermoon City's bloodline and as the prophet of the Highlands of Knowledge!" Upon hearing the oath, the Lord of Silvermoon City ignored the threat of the elemental spirits behind him and tried to pounce on Vivian.

Tian Yu stood there in a daze. She originally thought that the reason why the Seeking Knowledge Highlands chose Vivian to come to Silvermoon City was because of her special identity as the daughter of the Duke. However, she did not expect that the real reason was hidden from everyone.

"The prophet is one of the apostles chosen by the God of Light. They have lived in the highland of knowledge for a long time. They will use themselves as a guide to listen to the prophecies from the God of Light." - "General Knowledge of the Continent of Light"
