Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 52: Alien Star Noble Maiden



Chapter 52: Alien Star Noble Maiden

In the morning, Babylon's floating island faded from the night and woke up in the brilliant sunshine. Millions of noble people poured into the streets, occupying the main traffic arteries long ago. As Allen sat in an extended version of the magic energy flying car prepared for him, he could see through the windows the grand scene of his first arrival on the island.

People cheered on both sides of the road, and two steam-powered airships continued to replay Allen's spectacular scenes from the death arena above the city. Every time Alan played the Flaming Moon that was released during the duel with Anse, it would attract a burst of screams from a young girl.

Tens of thousands of white pigeons were released when the flying car drove up Goldwing Street and headed towards Dawn Square. A flock of white birds rushed into the blue sky and circled the square before heading towards the other parts of the island. As soon as the pigeons left, the five escort ships dragged the colorful smoke across the sky. They circled over the plaza and made all sorts of dangerous flying movements. Only then did they line up and directly soar into the sky, disappearing into the clouds!

Following the sound of the band playing music from the direction of the plaza, the excited war song caused the crowd to echo along with it. For a time, the music on Babylon shook the heavens and the atmosphere was lively.

Alan was secretly speechless. He never thought that the awards ceremony for the winners of the death arena would be so grand. "Darling, you still have 10 minutes to memorize the lines. I designed them for you, and they will definitely win the audience's applause," Tonislaw, who is sitting next to him, said as he stuffed several pages.

Tonislaw said confidently. Alan shook his head helplessly and picked up the line to read. Fortunately, his memory was astonishing, and he basically remembered it. In less than five minutes, he had already memorized these words.

Dawn Square is a public area in Babylon and a landmark building built to commemorate humanity's final victory in the Battle of Dawn. Dawn Square was the size of a stadium. In the center of it stood nine copper pillars carved with the deeds of the nine human heroes of the Battle of Dawn. They told the people of later generations the epic story in the form of copper plates.

There was also an opera house in the square, and the awards ceremony took place on the opera house's open-air stage. The Mana Flying Carriage brought Allen and the others to the back of the theater. They quietly entered the theater through the green passageway and then quietly arrived at the back/stage of the open-air stage.

When the magic clock in the plaza pointed to eight o'clock, the band stopped playing, and a fancy-dressed abbot ran onto the open-air stage, immediately winning the cheers of the audience below.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Babylon, I love you! Of course, I respect every man present. So rest assured, the first sentence is just a joke. The witty Baggins will never give you a chance to duel with me." "Everyone, I believe everyone is as excited as I am. Just last night, the 211th Death Stage quietly ended. The winner of this competition was a very outstanding youth from District 13 on the surface," the host said after a humorous opening remark that caused the audience to chuckle.

"Speaking of this youth, I believe everyone is deeply impressed. Just as he stepped onto Babylon, his noble temperament stunned us. And in the cruel competition, he showed us courage and wisdom! That's right, he is Allen!" The host abruptly turned around and waved his hand in the direction of the arena. "Now, let's use our warmest cheers to invite the winner of the new Death Arena, Mr. Allen!"

"Alan!"

"Alan!"

"Alan!"

On the plaza, unanimous cries of the audience rang out. '"Go, baby, let them cheer for you!" Tonislaw pushed Ellen.

Alan took a deep breath and walked out of the backstage in a fighting mood, stepping onto the open-air stage. When he saw it from the stage, his eyes were battlefield filled with dense crowds, and the shocking scene made him speechless for a moment. On each side of the plaza, there was a huge screen, and Alan's figure appeared clearly. When the camera zoomed in and gave Alan a close-up of his face, a lot of girls screamed at him crazily.

Hearing the screams coming from the plaza, Tonislaw closed his eyes intoxicatedly, as if it was he, not Alan, who was being warmly welcomed.

The host made a "quiet" gesture before calling Ellen to his side and saying, "Ellen, I heard that you had the chance to leave. You didn't have to participate in this cruel competition?"

"Yes?"

"Then can you tell me why you're standing here?"

'"Because" Alan's eyes flashed once again as his mother said goodbye, "Because I want a chance to change my fate. That way, I have the power to do something. Something, something very important!"

"What an amazing determination."

Following that, the host threw out a few questions one after another, while Alan followed Tonislaw's lines and read the book. While reading the lines, Alan's mind had already flown elsewhere. It was just a show for him, and it was even disgusting to him. But now, he already knew that sometimes a wonderful performance could make him have fewer obstacles and more resources on his way forward.

Therefore, he didn't mind suppressing his slight disgust to cooperate with these people in performing the image they wanted to see.

After the audience cheered again and again, the awards ceremony finally came to an end. Allen, who won the death arena, would receive a rich reward from the federal government. Among them were a set of magic energy weapons, a high-grade stamina enhancement potion, 200,000 federal dollars, and the right of abode on the floating island. All the rewards were in the form of a small electronic magnetic card.

With this magnetic card, Allen could exchange for his reward at any time.

After the awards ceremony, there were regular bands and dancers, pushing the atmosphere to a climax once again. But at this time, Alan was no longer on the stage. He kept the exchange card close to his body, and when he left the stage with host Baggins, the host who seemed to be famous in Babylon handed Alan a business card, allowing him to come to his company if he was interested. Baggins pointed at Alan's potential to become a superstar, just like Tonislaw.

It was just that Ellen wasn't interested in being a movie star. He kept his business card for less than five minutes and threw it into the trash can of the theater.

"Mr. Allen."

As soon as he returned to the back/stage, Alstair, who was talking to Tonislaw, stopped him. The Chancellor of the Exchequer walked over with a big belly and warmly patted Allen on the shoulder. "Come, I'll take you to see someone."

Alstair led him across the stage to the grand theatre. Opening the door of the theatre, the minister pushed Alan in with both hands. He closed the door with a smile, and the darkness drowned Alan.

After a short period of darkness, a beam of spotlight landed on the stage of the theater, followed by a second, a third a total of five beams of light landed on the stage, finally gathering together. A figure appeared in the light. The slender and familiar figure made Alan's heart beat faster.

"Lucy?" He called softly.

The man moved, then slowly turned around. At this moment, it was like a river of stars, like a magnificent nebula blossoming to Allen's extreme beauty. Lucy was dressed up, and the golden Chang'an was wrapped around a crown decorated with jewels. The curves of the white swan's beautiful neck stretched downwards, and it was the sexy and attractive collarbone.

A necklace of stars and crescent-shaped gemstones decorated the empty chest. The proud and upright chest of the two peaks was half exposed, and a shallow ravine disappeared beneath the long skirt wrapped around his chest. This long robe was delicately crafted, outlining the beautiful curves of the young girl. A large amount of gorgeous skirts were laid behind her, like peacocks with open screens.

The bottom of the dress was silver and white, and there were light golden curves outlining complicated lines on it, forming a mysterious pattern. It looked like a galaxy in the starry sky, dotted with diamonds of all sizes. Under the lights, it was even like a starry sky that flickered with starlight!

Even if Alan didn't know what to buy, he knew that this dress alone would cost a lot of money.

Lucy pulled on the hem of her skirt and twisted it gently. Thousands of diamonds flickered on her skirt, like thousands of fireflies floating out of the sky. The young girl smiled lightly and said, "Is it good-looking?"

"Good-looking, I can hardly recognize you." Alan nodded.

"That is to say, I also feel that this thing is not my style, but the teacher insists that I wear it, it's uncomfortable!" Lucy said carelessly. Her noble image collapsed in an instant, but she returned to what Alan was familiar with.

Lucy jumped off the stage in a shady manner, and all the lights in the theatre lit up, illuminating the room as bright as day. Lucy shook her head and reached out to take off the luxurious crown, letting her golden hair fall like a gush of dawn. She shook the crown on her hand and said, "You don't even know how heavy this thing is. It hurts to wear it on your head."

Seeing her annoyed expression, Alan finally couldn't help but laugh.

This was the Lucy he knew, flying and leaping like a fire in July!

Lucy threw the crown aside and walked towards Allen, giving him a strong hug all of a sudden. Allen's heart skipped a beat. A moment later, he closed his eyes and embraced the slender body.

"Alan, actually I'm not a human on your planet." Lucy stretched out her hand and gently pulled her long hair in her ear, revealing ears thinner than humans, just like the legendary elves: "I am from Adahua Planet."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, all I need to know is that you're Lucy." Alan let go of her, took two steps back and said seriously.

Lucy nodded forcefully, "So, don't you think I'm strange?"

"You are indeed very strange." Alan smiled and said, "However, it has nothing to do with your identity."

'"Then you mean my character!" Cried Lucy at once.

Immediately after, she began to laugh. Lucy smiled and whispered, "I'm leaving."

Alan's words instantly aroused a faint melancholy in his heart.
