Chapter 1 Chapter One
The huge and strange situation rushed straight ahead like a stormy sea.
It was a gigantic monster over ten meters tall.
The monster had the appearance of a tall and thin young man, and it rushed towards it while trampling down houses and sweeping away the fleeing people.
giant.
This is the name of the monster that behaves like no man's land, and is also the greatest enemy of mankind.
Although they literally have the shape of a huge human, they have no mercy at all.Its personality is as cruel and ruthless as a ghost, and human beings are no different from ants crawling on the ground in front of giants.In the blink of an eye, gunpowder smoke rose from the ravaged urban area, gradually turning into a hell filled with screams.
There was no one on the scene who dared to muster up the courage to challenge the giant, but this is understandable.The size of the opponent is as huge and exaggerated as a mountain.Even if he stepped forward to challenge with a sword in his hand, he would obviously end up dying in vain.All humans can do is run around in a panic while screaming.The only exception is the one-eyed boy who is known as the "Son of Giants"——
"Damn monster!"
Jukeluo frowned unhappily, and glared at this hateful opponent very unceremoniously.
The huge man whose whole body was outrageous to the extreme, showed a relaxed attitude as if he had eaten the fruit of a tree, devouring humans while devouring human beings, and doing everything he could to wreak havoc.The giant didn't know what he was interested in, and a bright and happy smile appeared on his face.
And maybe it was because of Jukeluo's fiery gaze.The giant turned to face him, and smiled as broadly as if he saw his best friend.
Qiu Keluo, who was exposed to the fierce and powerful pressure, couldn't help but let out a moan of "huh".Even though he was just being watched by the giant, his body trembled instantly, and he almost forgot to breathe and fell into a coma.The weak and tiny human beings probably couldn't resist the pressure of the giant no matter what.
Just after Qiu Keluo backed up a few steps involuntarily with fear in his heart, the giant immediately launched an assault on him.
Even though it has a huge body as high as ten meters, the giant showed a flexible movement as if it had a pair of wings on its back and charged straight at it.His speeding figure, which regards the huge body as nothing, is like a tornado, destroying everything it goes.After the giant roared past, only rubble and corpses remained on the ground.
Frightened by the attacking giant figure with the loud noise of the ground, Qiu Keluo continued to back up one step, two steps.Giants are the only predators that see humans as their main food.Qiu Keluo had no choice but to realize that death was approaching, and his body naturally flinched and trembled.Even though he was so afraid that he might collapse on the ground if he relaxed his nerves a little bit, Qiukeluo still gritted his teeth and stood firm.
(No matter where you run, the result is the same.)
Now that the giant has set his sights on it, it is almost impossible to escape his clutches.The giant will probably chase him all the way to the ends of the earth in order to eat Joker's body.
(I can only kill him, I can only kill...)
Maybe it was a foolish and reckless act.
But that's the only way to survive.
Qiu Keluo drew out the knife hanging from his waist, and while making a sharp roar, he stared intently at the approaching giant.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!" Ju Keluo was startled awake suddenly by his own shouting. It was probably caused by having a realistic nightmare that seemed to be no different from reality. I felt that my clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and my breathing was chaotic and rapid as if I had just run for a distance with all my strength. The alarm bell usually keeps beating rapidly, even so fast that it makes people feel aching. (It turned out to be a dream...) Qiu Keluo breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand to caress the dull pain in his chest, but the giant that appeared in the dream was a monster that actually existed.However, it was obviously just a dream, but the overreaction of Jukeluo's body was caused because the fear of giants had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.Now as long as he closes his eyes, he still has a way to vividly recall the ferocious figure of the giant. In addition to its huge size, the giant is also an unreasonable monster that will resurrect again and again if it does not lock its vitals and launch an attack.And Qiu Keluo had almost become the food of this monster twice, so even if he wanted to forget it, he couldn't forget it so easily.The impact the giant brought to him was immeasurable, and its treacherous appearance was more like a brand, deeply engraved on his heart. "Have you had a nightmare?" The one who asked in a relaxed tone was a young man in prison clothes. Cardinal Baumesta.His father was a politician. He was originally a wealthy young man, but now he has become an unlucky man who was thrown into prison because of his involvement in political struggles.He and Qiu Keluo are fellow inmates who eat in prison, and have also been sentenced to deportation together. (Ah, yes. From outside the city wall...) Qiu Keluo finally gradually realized his current situation. Although it was in a dream, the reason why he took the stupid act of facing the giant was because he dragged his life and escaped from the wall where the giant was about to move.At that time, in order to save Kadina, Qiu Keluo took the initiative to meet the giant.This is probably what caused him to have nightmares.He didn't need to think about it carefully, he knew that it was quite a reckless move, and he was really lucky that he managed to return to the city alive. (If that kind of thing kills me, I won't do it a second time.) Although Qiu Keluo felt the feeling of fear again, if he encountered the same situation, he might stand up to face the giant again.Although this is a character full of disadvantages, there is no need for any reason to save lives. (To me, those guys are my nemesis.) For Qiu Keluo, who has been crowned with the disgraceful title of Son of Giants and has been despised and trampled since he was a child, trying to challenge giants is like his destiny. As the disordered breathing gradually stabilized, he was gradually able to distinguish the surrounding situation.Jokero was not sleeping on the bed, but was lying down in the carriage like Cardina, wearing a prisoner's costume. (Always feel like I've been asleep for a long time...) In the early hours of this morning, he miraculously recovered his life from outside the wall under the arrangement of Helfie Bickel.Now the sun is near the top of his head, so he probably slept for about two or three hours.The carriage continues to go north along the main roads connecting various urban areas, but let alone the final destination of the industrial city, even the "Wall of Rose" has not yet arrived. "How about let me guess what kind of dream you had?" Cardina asked in a brisk tone as if humming a song, and immediately continued without waiting for Qiu Keluo's response: "The answer...is the dream of being chased by giants." Seeing Cardinal grinning happily, Jokero shrugged his shoulders as if speechless. "Oh, did I guess wrong?" "I was hunted down by a giant not long ago. Can you imagine what kind of dream you will have?" "That's true." Although Cardina agreed, but a person like him with a free and unrestrained attitude towards life probably wouldn't dream about giants. "Isn't it all because I heard that thing before going to bed that I had such a nightmare." "What does that mean...?" "That's what I want me to do with the three-dimensional mobile device." "oh oh……" Maybe it was a sudden realization, and I saw Cardinal clapping her hands lightly and making a sound of agreement. The three-dimensional mobile device refers to the name of the equipment developed on the basis of "Device" and specially used to deal with giants. Although "Device" is the name of the machine that came in handy when the giant was killed by humans for the first time, it has a fatal flaw that it can only move vertically.After repeated improvements, the equipment that successfully eliminates the defects of the "Device" and can move in all directions is the three-dimensional mobile device.According to Helfer, this will be the special equipment for dealing with giants from now on. However, the three-dimensional mobile device also has another big problem that is very troublesome. "At present, no one has successfully controlled this thing, right?" In other words, users who cannot find the three-dimensional mobile device. "If it's the "Device", I still have a way to use it freely... After all, it can only move in one direction." As Cardinal said, if it was a "device" that could only move up and down, maybe even Jokero could easily control it without any effort.Anyway, as long as the body is driven by the machine. "But the three-dimensional mobile device is completely different from the "Device". It can move in all directions. In other words, if you want to move freely in the air, you need a sense of balance and reflexes beyond ordinary people. If you make a mistake, you will inevitably fall back to the surface." "Have you ever used it?" "I've fallen several times..." Probably frightened.Cadina's whole body trembled suddenly. "But I personally make a bold assessment. You should have a way to use the three-dimensional maneuvering device flexibly." The person who intervened to join the conversation was a veteran driving the carriage ahead. The man, handsomely dressed in a unicorn-stitched top, is Helfie Bickel.A soldier of the Gendarmerie and former captain of the Survey Corps, he is a national hero who has proven that giants can kill.He handed over the captaincy to his son Carlo Bickel, who is now responsible for training juniors as a member of the Gendarmerie; Cardinal was also one of the trainers who had been instructed by Helfer.It's just that Cardinal quit the legion before he was distributed as a soldier. "It is necessary to try to successfully control the three-dimensional mobile device. It is an absolutely indispensable key equipment for expelling giants." Helfer asserted this in a slightly excited tone, and then continued: "No matter how excellent the performance of the three-dimensional mobile device is, if no one knows how to use it, it is just a piece of scrap iron." "By the way, the government doesn't seem to allocate R&D funds, right?" As soon as Cardi finished speaking, he whispered in Qiao Keluo's ear: "It is said that the research and development funds were paid by the instructors out of their own pockets." "The education of the training legion did not include training courses for three-dimensional mobile devices. The reason why the investigation legion is still using primitive tactics to deal with giants is thanks to these reasons." As the former captain and instructor of the training corps, Helfer is probably quite dissatisfied with the current situation of the investigation corps.From his sensuality, one can detect a certain degree of anxiety. "Do you think I have a way to control the three-dimensional mobile device?" "I can't say for sure, but it's not a small possibility." "I also think you can probably do it." "Why do you say that..." "Because you have no training, but you can operate the "Device" so smoothly, isn't it?" "My son probably also saw your potential, so he decided to recommend you." Both Cardina and Helfer have high hopes for Qiu Keluo's physical ability, but Qiu Keluo, who is the person involved, has doubts about his own strength.Due to his abuse in the past, it is an indisputable fact that his stamina is superior to others.He was also confident that he wouldn't cry out over a little torture. (However, this alone is still not enough to fight against giants...) Qiu Keluo is only a mere human being. Once hit by a giant's thick fist, he will definitely be killed in one blow.The beast-like agile movements and the five keen senses cultivated over the years may be effective when fleeing, but his tenacious body is obviously meaningless when facing giants. "Just daring to stand up to the giant is already worthy of praise. The last expedition caused serious trauma to the hearts of many soldiers." During the survey expedition that was resumed after fifteen years, the spiritual weakness of the soldiers was fully exposed.This refers to the fact that the soldiers abandoned the transport team they were supposed to protect and turned to flee. In the future, it will probably be difficult for them to challenge the world outside the wall as members of the investigation legion.The fear buried by the giant himself is by no means an emotion that can be eliminated so easily. "Maybe you have inherited a lot of courage from Sis." "Does Sis mean my dad?" "Sis Mansar is my subordinate and Carlo's comrade-in-arms at the same time. He is a brave and courageous soldier." "Oh……" Although he is a father, he is also a person who has never even met him, so Qiu Keluo subconsciously reacted indifferently. "Being attacked by the 'ogre' giant may be considered some kind of predestined fate." "Ogre?" "It is the name of the giant you encountered in your expedition." "That tall monster..." There is no need to recall what happened during the expedition, as Joker just encountered the same situation in his dream.The figure of a huge monster over ten meters is still clinging to his mind like a scar. "The murderer who killed Sith was the 'Ogre'. For you, it is probably the so-called deadly enemy." "So it happened..." But no similar emotions arose within him as Helfer alleged. When Qiu Keluo was born in this world, his parents had already passed away.In the cradle called the cage, Jukeluo came alive with cursing as a lullaby.He didn't feel any particular emotion about the word father. "It wasn't just Xis who was killed by the giant, Elena also lost her life because of the loss of Xis." Elena is a heretic who worships giants, and she is also the culprit who caused the unprecedented tragedy of luring giants into the city to wreak havoc; she is also the mother of Jokero.Elena was swallowed to death by the giants she introduced into the city, and Jokero was born from the vomit of the giants.That is why he is called the Son of Giants. (Has the life of a family of three been destroyed by giants...) As Helfer said, Joker and the giant seem to be tied together by something like a red thread.It's just that it's a hateful silk thread stained blood red... Although it can't arouse Qiu Keluo's desire to avenge his parents, but if it involves himself, it's another matter.It was the giant who forced him to live a miserable life as the son of a giant, so there was no need to hesitate in eliminating the giant. (I haven't cut off the bad relationship between myself and the giant.) He thought that after confronting the giant outside the wall and gaining the conviction that he was not the son of a giant, he had already taken the first step in a new life as a human being.But what is annoying is that the treacherous fate between him and the giant seems to have not yet come to an end. "Can you defeat a giant just by using a three-dimensional mobile device?" "This machine contains that possibility. If there is a way to use it flexibly, it can kill giants." Helfer asserted so. (Perhaps it can also cut off the bad relationship with the giant.) But if you want to realize this wish, you have to go to the world outside the wall again and stand up to the threat of the giant. (Can I really do it?) The opponent is a terrifying monster that will appear in nightmares.No one wants to see that face again. (However, you can only fight with him.) Unless he cut off the relationship between himself and the giant, he could only end up fearing the giant all his life.Qiu Keluo couldn't accept this ending even if he was killed.And this is also an excellent opportunity to wash away the stigma of "Son of Giants", so he can only muster up the courage to face the challenge. However, this is not the only thing that Qiao Keluo is worried about.What came to his mind at this moment was the lovely and pitiful figure of that doll-like girl. The girl's name is Xialulu Inosesio, and she is also the benefactor who imparts knowledge to Jukero and leads him to the outside world.Without Xia Lulu's help, Qiu Keluo would still be an exhibit called the Giant's Son. (She will probably be angry...) Basically, the reason why Juke Luo tasted the pain of being deported is because of his willful wish to see the giant side.To put it bluntly, it is the so-called self-inflicted.Xia Lulu, who was affected for no reason, would probably feel overwhelmed.After fleeing the house empty-handed due to an accidental attack by a heretic believer, the two lived a life of mutual dependence.It is not difficult to understand the toil in her heart.It is also thanks to Xia Lulu's wit that Qiu Keluo was able to recover his life from outside the wall. (However, shall I set out again to go beyond the wall...) Although it feels heavy just thinking about it, but now that he has realized the connection between him and the giant, he really can't ask himself to turn a blind eye and live.I can only try to persuade Xia Lulu to accept this matter. "Oh, anyway, just work hard. I'll secretly cheer you up." "What?" Juke Luo first made a questioning sound, and then patted Cardina who said the previous sentence in a tone that had nothing to do with him. "Cardina is coming too." "what!?" This time it was Cadina's turn to exclaim and ask questions. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to return to the city from outside the wall. So you should accompany me." "I'm an ordinary person who has quit the Legion, and I'm not as talented as you..." "Helfe said that you have the strength to squeeze into the top ten." "Hmm... I suddenly started to feel like I was digging my own grave." "This will save me the trouble of asking out." Helfey, who was always staring at the front, chuckled a few times with a "hehe!" "Both of you have excellent qualifications, I can assure you of that." "He said so." "Hey, there's no other way. After all, I still owe you a favor." Cardinal scratched her hair and smiled wryly. While the three of them were chatting with each other, a huge towering city wall gradually came into view from the front.This cliff-like city wall is the crystallization of human wisdom, the "Wall of Rose".Like the "Wall of Mary", this majestic city wall is said to be 50 meters high, showing an overwhelming sense of presence.Although it doesn't attract much attention due to its location in the hinterland, once the "Wall of Mary" is breached by giants, it will transform into a building at the forefront.Therefore, it goes without saying that this painting of the city wall played a very important role in both politics and military affairs. "We have arrived at the middle point, let's go to the Trost area to have a meal and rest for a while." Helfey suggested so, and Jukero responded with a "grunt" sound from an empty stomach.
The level of mess in the studio's long room is jaw-dropping. The floor looked like a toy box that had been knocked over, and documents, data, parts, and inventions with unknown uses were scattered all over the place.If someone says this is a garbage dump, they can probably just nod in agreement without saying a word.In fact, most of these are rubbish. Although I can barely make out the ground to stand on, it is almost impossible to move around without accidentally stepping on the clutter.Although there are bookcases, desks, and furniture groups for receiving guests, it can be seen in the room, but because these furniture are full of various sundries, they have not performed their functions as daily necessities at all.Only the cabinets that store equipment of unknown use are shining like a display window, but the room that seems to have not been cleaned for several years is full of dust, and there is even a faint musty smell. "Wow..." Charlene Inocesio, who came to the workshop manager's room with a broom and dustpan, couldn't help showing a dumbfounded expression as she stared at the astonishing scene in front of her. (How to use it will make the whole office become so virtuous...) For a young lady who once lived a carefree life as the eldest daughter of the famous wealthy businessman Dario Inocercio, the scene in the workshop manager's room was nothing short of a nightmare.It is not surprising that there are poisonous bugs of unknown origin inhabiting the bottom of the file data. In the past, Xia Lulu would have been so frightened that her legs would go weak, but because she has experienced life-and-death thrilling incidents, her courage has naturally grown.If it was just the mess, she would be surprised, but not overwhelmed.Once I think back to the time when I lived in a low-key way in the dark underground street and was afraid of the shadows of the soldiers, at least there are more words here. "Okay, let's get to work." Just standing still won't make a room clean.Anyway, just do it silently and tidy up the room calmly.Anyway, I borrowed a set of work clothes specially for this purpose. Of course, I can not care about the dirty clothes and other problems, and devote myself to this battle-like cleaning work.Although it is a battlefield that feels quite relaxed, it is undoubtedly the mission assigned to him. Xia Lulu shouted "Okay!" to encourage herself, then moved the soles of her feet to push the garbage on the floor to the left and right, and then stepped into the room. It has been nearly a month since Xia Lulu came to the industrial city, and her life here can only be described as stable.In Xia Lulu's fifteen-year life, this may be the first time she has experienced a carefree life.Although strictly speaking, she still has concerns, but that matter should be resolved immediately. (I'm very happy.) Although Xia Lulu was raised by her father Dalio as a prop, those things are all in the past.Because the father who controls Xia Lulu's life has been stabbed to death by a heretic who worships giants.Xia Lulu finally broke free from the shackles of Inosecio's family and officially regained her freedom.It's just that it's not what she wanted to get rid of through "Dalio's death"... The workshop where Xia Lulu is currently living plays a central role in the industrial city.The head of the workshop is Senofon Harkimo.The research and development and manufacturing of weapons wholesaled to the Legion are all handled by the workshop under his command.In other words, the workshop is a place like an arsenal.There are as many as a thousand craftsmen working hard day and night, and Xia Lulu borrows a small room in the workshop and lives here temporarily. She is not dissatisfied with life in the workshop.Although she had to succumb to the noise and vibrations generated by the workshop, it was a trivial problem when she recalled her past life experience.The people in the workshop seemed to see her as a visitor and did not force her to share the work.But she felt guilty about being content with the status quo, so she took the initiative to take on the sweeping job.And the reason why the studio chief's room turned into chaos is probably the result of faithfully showing the personality of its owner, Senofon. Xia Lulu first reached out to the documents and data piled up on the floor like scraps of paper.Fortunately, no poisonous insects came out to bite people, but what was recorded in the document was enough to surprise her. "Design drawing? Contract? These should be very important documents, right?" Even the spoiled Xia Lulu can immediately see that this is a pile of very important documents.Although I felt that something must have gone wrong, Senofon would be the head of the workshop, but he might have the talent to make up for this shortcoming—Xia Xialu explained it so kindly while cleaning the room. She managed to clean the floor to the point where she could move around freely, and when she was about to start cleaning the cabinets, she saw a man in his fifties sticking his head out, wearing dirty work clothes stained with chemical stains. "Seeing girls working so diligently reminds me of the past." The man has gray unkempt hair and a slightly brown beard, and wears an impressive pair of severely myopic rimless glasses.He is the workshop chief Senofon.Maybe he is a person who is more suitable for running the grassroots scene. I just think his appearance is unimaginable, and he is the leader who leads the party.There are probably only a handful of people who exude the smell of chemicals all over their bodies like him. (Although he is a good person...) However, Cenophon exudes a strange aura, which is enough to offset its kindness. "There used to be a girl like you who would help clean the workshop manager's room." Senofon stretched out his hand to caress the beard on his chin, and muttered with an expression filled with emotion. "Is she still working in the workshop?" "No, she passed away fifteen years ago." (That is to say...) The deceased female craftsman was probably killed by a giant that broke into the Higanshina area.It is for this reason that Cernovon emphasizes "fifteen years ago". Fifteen years ago, the industrial city had not yet been officially opened, and workshops were still scattered in different urban areas.Zenofon and that woman were probably working at the workshop in the Higanshina district at the time. "Although she died unfortunately, her spirit is still alive and well in this world." Senofon followed the path opened by Xia Lulu and walked towards the cabinet where the equipment of unknown use was stored.Probably a masterpiece, I saw his eyes shining like an innocent child. "What is that?" "This is a three-dimensional mobile device." "Three-dimensional mobile device?" "Perhaps it can be called the only machine that can be used against giants." "So it's the successor model of "Device"?" "Well, exactly." Xia Lulu suddenly realized, and stared intently at the three-dimensional mobile device stored in the cabinet, but she couldn't figure out what kind of function it could display.Just considering the effectiveness of "Apparatus", it is not difficult to imagine that the three-dimensional mobile device must be an astonishingly important invention. The "Device" is an invention that came in handy when humans first killed a giant.In other words, the three-dimensional mobile device should be a machine with performance above it.Xia Lulu observed carefully again and found a row of inscriptions meaning angels engraved on the surface of the machine. "ANGEL? Angel?" "ANGEL should be pronounced 'Anhaier', he is the developer of the three-dimensional mobile device." "That person is the craftsman who created the "Installation", right?" "At the same time, he is also my strong enemy. He was supposed to succeed me as the head of the workshop, but I didn't expect him to retire. Although it is also due to his suffering from eye disease, it is still regrettable." He didn't know whether he felt lonely because of the absence of his rival, or felt that the job of the workshop chief was too heavy, or both, but Senofon's eyebrows drooped suddenly. "But that can be said to be the correct decision. After all, the invention of the three-dimensional mobile device is not so simple and there is no way to come up with it." "So he is considered to have retired?" "It's just a hot potato left behind." "Is there such a thing?" "It's also a problem that the mechanical movements are too delicate. If no one can control it, no matter how correct the famous horse is, it will only become no different from a poor horse." Senofon sighed, and raised his index finger to nudge his glasses. "I don't know if the person you are waiting for day and night can really control the three-dimensional mobile device..." After saying this, he immediately peeked sideways at Xia Lulu's reaction. (It's nice that they saved Joker's life, but...) Carlo and Helfer intend to persuade Jokero to join the Legion.Although they didn't mean to use this as an exchange condition, but considering the fate between Qiu Keluo and them, he would probably nod and agree.It should even be said that Qiu Keluo would voluntarily choose to join them. But this has to wait until Qiu Keluo can return safely. "Oh, there's no need to worry. Now that the current captain Carlo and former captain Helfer agree, he will be able to escape unscathed." "Is this really the case..." Xia Lulu, who was quite aware of the danger beyond the wall, could not accept Senofon's words calmly.As long as she encounters a giant, she will definitely die, so she can't calm down no matter what. A daring plan to bring Jokero back from beyond the walls has been put into action.If all goes well, we should be able to meet him again in a few hours.But the inability to confirm the status quo still made her feel anxious. "Anyway, wait patiently. Even if you can't accept my statement, you still believe that he will come back alive, don't you?" "yes." "Then I look forward to it with full confidence, looking forward to the arrival of the strongest challenger—" I saw a secretly delighted smile on Senofon's face. "I wonder what kind of trajectory he will draw in the air." While talking, he took out the three-dimensional mobile device from the cabinet. (Challenger!?) Xia Lulu felt a little disturbed by Senofon's speech, but she deliberately told herself not to take it to heart, because it was really hard to imagine that more misfortune would befall Qiu Keluo. After Xia Lulu insisted on convincing herself, she waved the broom to clean the indoor environment again.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!" Ju Keluo was startled awake suddenly by his own shouting. It was probably caused by having a realistic nightmare that seemed to be no different from reality. I felt that my clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and my breathing was chaotic and rapid as if I had just run for a distance with all my strength. The alarm bell usually keeps beating rapidly, even so fast that it makes people feel aching. (It turned out to be a dream...) Qiu Keluo breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand to caress the dull pain in his chest, but the giant that appeared in the dream was a monster that actually existed.However, it was obviously just a dream, but the overreaction of Jukeluo's body was caused because the fear of giants had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.Now as long as he closes his eyes, he still has a way to vividly recall the ferocious figure of the giant. In addition to its huge size, the giant is also an unreasonable monster that will resurrect again and again if it does not lock its vitals and launch an attack.And Qiu Keluo had almost become the food of this monster twice, so even if he wanted to forget it, he couldn't forget it so easily.The impact the giant brought to him was immeasurable, and its treacherous appearance was more like a brand, deeply engraved on his heart. "Have you had a nightmare?" The one who asked in a relaxed tone was a young man in prison clothes. Cardinal Baumesta.His father was a politician. He was originally a wealthy young man, but now he has become an unlucky man who was thrown into prison because of his involvement in political struggles.He and Qiu Keluo are fellow inmates who eat in prison, and have also been sentenced to deportation together. (Ah, yes. From outside the city wall...) Qiu Keluo finally gradually realized his current situation. Although it was in a dream, the reason why he took the stupid act of facing the giant was because he dragged his life and escaped from the wall where the giant was about to move.At that time, in order to save Kadina, Qiu Keluo took the initiative to meet the giant.This is probably what caused him to have nightmares.He didn't need to think about it carefully, he knew that it was quite a reckless move, and he was really lucky that he managed to return to the city alive. (If that kind of thing kills me, I won't do it a second time.) Although Qiu Keluo felt the feeling of fear again, if he encountered the same situation, he might stand up to face the giant again.Although this is a character full of disadvantages, there is no need for any reason to save lives.

In the early hours of this morning, he miraculously recovered his life from outside the wall under the arrangement of Helfie Bickel.Now the sun is near the top of his head, so he probably slept for about two or three hours.The carriage continues to go north along the main roads connecting various urban areas, but let alone the final destination of the industrial city, even the "Wall of Rose" has not yet arrived. "How about let me guess what kind of dream you had?" Cardina asked in a brisk tone as if humming a song, and immediately continued without waiting for Qiu Keluo's response: "The answer...is the dream of being chased by giants." Seeing Cardinal grinning happily, Jokero shrugged his shoulders as if speechless. "Oh, did I guess wrong?" "I was hunted down by a giant not long ago. Can you imagine what kind of dream you will have?" "That's true." Although Cardina agreed, but a person like him with a free and unrestrained attitude towards life probably wouldn't dream about giants.

"Have you ever used it?" "I've fallen several times..." Probably frightened.Cadina's whole body trembled suddenly. "But I personally make a bold assessment. You should have a way to use the three-dimensional maneuvering device flexibly." The person who intervened to join the conversation was a veteran driving the carriage ahead. The man, handsomely dressed in a unicorn-stitched top, is Helfie Bickel.A soldier of the Gendarmerie and former captain of the Survey Corps, he is a national hero who has proven that giants can kill.He handed over the captaincy to his son Carlo Bickel, who is now responsible for training juniors as a member of the Gendarmerie; Cardinal was also one of the trainers who had been instructed by Helfer.It's just that Cardinal quit the legion before he was distributed as a soldier. "It is necessary to try to successfully control the three-dimensional mobile device. It is an absolutely indispensable key equipment for expelling giants." Helfer asserted this in a slightly excited tone, and then continued: "No matter how excellent the performance of the three-dimensional mobile device is, if no one knows how to use it, it is just a piece of scrap iron." "By the way, the government doesn't seem to allocate R&D funds, right?" As soon as Cardi finished speaking, he whispered in Qiao Keluo's ear: "It is said that the research and development funds were paid by the instructors out of their own pockets." "The education of the training legion did not include training courses for three-dimensional mobile devices. The reason why the investigation legion is still using primitive tactics to deal with giants is thanks to these reasons." As the former captain and instructor of the training corps, Helfer is probably quite dissatisfied with the current situation of the investigation corps.From his sensuality, one can detect a certain degree of anxiety. "Do you think I have a way to control the three-dimensional mobile device?" "I can't say for sure, but it's not a small possibility." "I also think you can probably do it." "Why do you say that..." "Because you have no training, but you can operate the "Device" so smoothly, isn't it?" "My son probably also saw your potential, so he decided to recommend you." Both Cardina and Helfer have high hopes for Qiu Keluo's physical ability, but Qiu Keluo, who is the person involved, has doubts about his own strength.Due to his abuse in the past, it is an indisputable fact that his stamina is superior to others.He was also confident that he wouldn't cry out over a little torture. (However, this alone is still not enough to fight against giants...) Qiu Keluo is only a mere human being. Once hit by a giant's thick fist, he will definitely be killed in one blow.The beast-like agile movements and the five keen senses cultivated over the years may be effective when fleeing, but his tenacious body is obviously meaningless when facing giants. "Just daring to stand up to the giant is already worthy of praise. The last expedition caused serious trauma to the hearts of many soldiers." During the survey expedition that was resumed after fifteen years, the spiritual weakness of the soldiers was fully exposed.This refers to the fact that the soldiers abandoned the transport team they were supposed to protect and turned to flee. In the future, it will probably be difficult for them to challenge the world outside the wall as members of the investigation legion.The fear buried by the giant himself is by no means an emotion that can be eliminated so easily. "Maybe you have inherited a lot of courage from Sis." "Does Sis mean my dad?" "Sis Mansar is my subordinate and Carlo's comrade-in-arms at the same time. He is a brave and courageous soldier." "Oh……" Although he is a father, he is also a person who has never even met him, so Qiu Keluo subconsciously reacted indifferently. "Being attacked by the 'ogre' giant may be considered some kind of predestined fate." "Ogre?" "It is the name of the giant you encountered in your expedition." "That tall monster..." There is no need to recall what happened during the expedition, as Joker just encountered the same situation in his dream.The figure of a huge monster over ten meters is still clinging to his mind like a scar. "The murderer who killed Sith was the 'Ogre'. For you, it is probably the so-called deadly enemy." "So it happened..." But no similar emotions arose within him as Helfer alleged. When Qiu Keluo was born in this world, his parents had already passed away.In the cradle called the cage, Jukeluo came alive with cursing as a lullaby.He didn't feel any particular emotion about the word father. "It wasn't just Xis who was killed by the giant, Elena also lost her life because of the loss of Xis." Elena is a heretic who worships giants, and she is also the culprit who caused the unprecedented tragedy of luring giants into the city to wreak havoc; she is also the mother of Jokero.Elena was swallowed to death by the giants she introduced into the city, and Jokero was born from the vomit of the giants.That is why he is called the Son of Giants. (Has the life of a family of three been destroyed by giants...) As Helfer said, Joker and the giant seem to be tied together by something like a red thread.It's just that it's a hateful silk thread stained blood red... Although it can't arouse Qiu Keluo's desire to avenge his parents, but if it involves himself, it's another matter.It was the giant who forced him to live a miserable life as the son of a giant, so there was no need to hesitate in eliminating the giant. (I haven't cut off the bad relationship between myself and the giant.) He thought that after confronting the giant outside the wall and gaining the conviction that he was not the son of a giant, he had already taken the first step in a new life as a human being.But what is annoying is that the treacherous fate between him and the giant seems to have not yet come to an end. "Can you defeat a giant just by using a three-dimensional mobile device?" "This machine contains that possibility. If there is a way to use it flexibly, it can kill giants." Helfer asserted so. (Perhaps it can also cut off the bad relationship with the giant.) But if you want to realize this wish, you have to go to the world outside the wall again and stand up to the threat of the giant. (Can I really do it?) The opponent is a terrifying monster that will appear in nightmares.No one wants to see that face again. (However, you can only fight with him.) Unless he cut off the relationship between himself and the giant, he could only end up fearing the giant all his life.Qiu Keluo couldn't accept this ending even if he was killed.And this is also an excellent opportunity to wash away the stigma of "Son of Giants", so he can only muster up the courage to face the challenge. However, this is not the only thing that Qiao Keluo is worried about.What came to his mind at this moment was the lovely and pitiful figure of that doll-like girl. The girl's name is Xialulu Inosesio, and she is also the benefactor who imparts knowledge to Jukero and leads him to the outside world.Without Xia Lulu's help, Qiu Keluo would still be an exhibit called the Giant's Son. (She will probably be angry...) Basically, the reason why Juke Luo tasted the pain of being deported is because of his willful wish to see the giant side.To put it bluntly, it is the so-called self-inflicted.Xia Lulu, who was affected for no reason, would probably feel overwhelmed.After fleeing the house empty-handed due to an accidental attack by a heretic believer, the two lived a life of mutual dependence.It is not difficult to understand the toil in her heart.It is also thanks to Xia Lulu's wit that Qiu Keluo was able to recover his life from outside the wall. (However, shall I set out again to go beyond the wall...) Although it feels heavy just thinking about it, but now that he has realized the connection between him and the giant, he really can't ask himself to turn a blind eye and live.I can only try to persuade Xia Lulu to accept this matter. "Oh, anyway, just work hard. I'll secretly cheer you up." "What?" Juke Luo first made a questioning sound, and then patted Cardina who said the previous sentence in a tone that had nothing to do with him. "Cardina is coming too." "what!?" This time it was Cadina's turn to exclaim and ask questions. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to return to the city from outside the wall. So you should accompany me." "I'm an ordinary person who has quit the Legion, and I'm not as talented as you..." "Helfe said that you have the strength to squeeze into the top ten." "Hmm... I suddenly started to feel like I was digging my own grave." "This will save me the trouble of asking out." Helfey, who was always staring at the front, chuckled a few times with a "hehe!" "Both of you have excellent qualifications, I can assure you of that." "He said so." "Hey, there's no other way. After all, I still owe you a favor." Cardinal scratched her hair and smiled wryly. While the three of them were chatting with each other, a huge towering city wall gradually came into view from the front.This cliff-like city wall is the crystallization of human wisdom, the "Wall of Rose".Like the "Wall of Mary", this majestic city wall is said to be 50 meters high, showing an overwhelming sense of presence.Although it doesn't attract much attention due to its location in the hinterland, once the "Wall of Mary" is breached by giants, it will transform into a building at the forefront.Therefore, it goes without saying that this painting of the city wall played a very important role in both politics and military affairs. "We have arrived at the middle point, let's go to the Trost area to have a meal and rest for a while." Helfey suggested so, and Jukero responded with a "grunt" sound from an empty stomach.
The level of mess in the studio's long room is jaw-dropping. The floor looked like a toy box that had been knocked over, and documents, data, parts, and inventions with unknown uses were scattered all over the place.If someone says this is a garbage dump, they can probably just nod in agreement without saying a word.In fact, most of these are rubbish. Although I can barely make out the ground to stand on, it is almost impossible to move around without accidentally stepping on the clutter.Although there are bookcases, desks, and furniture groups for receiving guests, it can be seen in the room, but because these furniture are full of various sundries, they have not performed their functions as daily necessities at all.Only the cabinets that store equipment of unknown use are shining like a display window, but the room that seems to have not been cleaned for several years is full of dust, and there is even a faint musty smell. "Wow..." Charlene Inocesio, who came to the workshop manager's room with a broom and dustpan, couldn't help showing a dumbfounded expression as she stared at the astonishing scene in front of her. (How to use it will make the whole office become so virtuous...) For a young lady who once lived a carefree life as the eldest daughter of the famous wealthy businessman Dario Inocercio, the scene in the workshop manager's room was nothing short of a nightmare.It is not surprising that there are poisonous bugs of unknown origin inhabiting the bottom of the file data. In the past, Xia Lulu would have been so frightened that her legs would go weak, but because she has experienced life-and-death thrilling incidents, her courage has naturally grown.If it was just the mess, she would be surprised, but not overwhelmed.Once I think back to the time when I lived in a low-key way in the dark underground street and was afraid of the shadows of the soldiers, at least there are more words here. "Okay, let's get to work." Just standing still won't make a room clean.Anyway, just do it silently and tidy up the room calmly.Anyway, I borrowed a set of work clothes specially for this purpose. Of course, I can not care about the dirty clothes and other problems, and devote myself to this battle-like cleaning work.Although it is a battlefield that feels quite relaxed, it is undoubtedly the mission assigned to him. Xia Lulu shouted "Okay!" to encourage herself, then moved the soles of her feet to push the garbage on the floor to the left and right, and then stepped into the room. It has been nearly a month since Xia Lulu came to the industrial city, and her life here can only be described as stable.In Xia Lulu's fifteen-year life, this may be the first time she has experienced a carefree life.Although strictly speaking, she still has concerns, but that matter should be resolved immediately. (I'm very happy.) Although Xia Lulu was raised by her father Dalio as a prop, those things are all in the past.Because the father who controls Xia Lulu's life has been stabbed to death by a heretic who worships giants.Xia Lulu finally broke free from the shackles of Inosecio's family and officially regained her freedom.It's just that it's not what she wanted to get rid of through "Dalio's death"... The workshop where Xia Lulu is currently living plays a central role in the industrial city.The head of the workshop is Senofon Harkimo.The research and development and manufacturing of weapons wholesaled to the Legion are all handled by the workshop under his command.In other words, the workshop is a place like an arsenal.There are as many as a thousand craftsmen working hard day and night, and Xia Lulu borrows a small room in the workshop and lives here temporarily. She is not dissatisfied with life in the workshop.Although she had to succumb to the noise and vibrations generated by the workshop, it was a trivial problem when she recalled her past life experience.The people in the workshop seemed to see her as a visitor and did not force her to share the work.But she felt guilty about being content with the status quo, so she took the initiative to take on the sweeping job.And the reason why the studio chief's room turned into chaos is probably the result of faithfully showing the personality of its owner, Senofon. Xia Lulu first reached out to the documents and data piled up on the floor like scraps of paper.Fortunately, no poisonous insects came out to bite people, but what was recorded in the document was enough to surprise her. "Design drawing? Contract? These should be very important documents, right?" Even the spoiled Xia Lulu can immediately see that this is a pile of very important documents.Although I felt that something must have gone wrong, Senofon would be the head of the workshop, but he might have the talent to make up for this shortcoming—Xia Xialu explained it so kindly while cleaning the room. She managed to clean the floor to the point where she could move around freely, and when she was about to start cleaning the cabinets, she saw a man in his fifties sticking his head out, wearing dirty work clothes stained with chemical stains. "Seeing girls working so diligently reminds me of the past." The man has gray unkempt hair and a slightly brown beard, and wears an impressive pair of severely myopic rimless glasses.He is the workshop chief Senofon.Maybe he is a person who is more suitable for running the grassroots scene. I just think his appearance is unimaginable, and he is the leader who leads the party.There are probably only a handful of people who exude the smell of chemicals all over their bodies like him. (Although he is a good person...) However, Cenophon exudes a strange aura, which is enough to offset its kindness. "There used to be a girl like you who would help clean the workshop manager's room." Senofon stretched out his hand to caress the beard on his chin, and muttered with an expression filled with emotion. "Is she still working in the workshop?" "No, she passed away fifteen years ago." (That is to say...) The deceased female craftsman was probably killed by a giant that broke into the Higanshina area.It is for this reason that Cernovon emphasizes "fifteen years ago". Fifteen years ago, the industrial city had not yet been officially opened, and workshops were still scattered in different urban areas.Zenofon and that woman were probably working at the workshop in the Higanshina district at the time. "Although she died unfortunately, her spirit is still alive and well in this world." Senofon followed the path opened by Xia Lulu and walked towards the cabinet where the equipment of unknown use was stored.Probably a masterpiece, I saw his eyes shining like an innocent child. "What is that?" "This is a three-dimensional mobile device." "Three-dimensional mobile device?" "Perhaps it can be called the only machine that can be used against giants." "So it's the successor model of "Device"?" "Well, exactly." Xia Lulu suddenly realized, and stared intently at the three-dimensional mobile device stored in the cabinet, but she couldn't figure out what kind of function it could display.Just considering the effectiveness of "Apparatus", it is not difficult to imagine that the three-dimensional mobile device must be an astonishingly important invention. The "Device" is an invention that came in handy when humans first killed a giant.In other words, the three-dimensional mobile device should be a machine with performance above it.Xia Lulu observed carefully again and found a row of inscriptions meaning angels engraved on the surface of the machine. "ANGEL? Angel?" "ANGEL should be pronounced 'Anhaier', he is the developer of the three-dimensional mobile device." "That person is the craftsman who created the "Installation", right?" "At the same time, he is also my strong enemy. He was supposed to succeed me as the head of the workshop, but I didn't expect him to retire. Although it is also due to his suffering from eye disease, it is still regrettable." He didn't know whether he felt lonely because of the absence of his rival, or felt that the job of the workshop chief was too heavy, or both, but Senofon's eyebrows drooped suddenly. "But that can be said to be the correct decision. After all, the invention of the three-dimensional mobile device is not so simple and there is no way to come up with it." "So he is considered to have retired?" "It's just a hot potato left behind." "Is there such a thing?" "It's also a problem that the mechanical movements are too delicate. If no one can control it, no matter how correct the famous horse is, it will only become no different from a poor horse." Senofon sighed, and raised his index finger to nudge his glasses. "I don't know if the person you are waiting for day and night can really control the three-dimensional mobile device..." After saying this, he immediately peeked sideways at Xia Lulu's reaction. (It's nice that they saved Joker's life, but...) Carlo and Helfer intend to persuade Jokero to join the Legion.Although they didn't mean to use this as an exchange condition, but considering the fate between Qiu Keluo and them, he would probably nod and agree.It should even be said that Qiu Keluo would voluntarily choose to join them. But this has to wait until Qiu Keluo can return safely. "Oh, there's no need to worry. Now that the current captain Carlo and former captain Helfer agree, he will be able to escape unscathed." "Is this really the case..." Xia Lulu, who was quite aware of the danger beyond the wall, could not accept Senofon's words calmly.As long as she encounters a giant, she will definitely die, so she can't calm down no matter what. A daring plan to bring Jokero back from beyond the walls has been put into action.If all goes well, we should be able to meet him again in a few hours.But the inability to confirm the status quo still made her feel anxious. "Anyway, wait patiently. Even if you can't accept my statement, you still believe that he will come back alive, don't you?" "yes." "Then I look forward to it with full confidence, looking forward to the arrival of the strongest challenger—" I saw a secretly delighted smile on Senofon's face. "I wonder what kind of trajectory he will draw in the air." While talking, he took out the three-dimensional mobile device from the cabinet. (Challenger!?) Xia Lulu felt a little disturbed by Senofon's speech, but she deliberately told herself not to take it to heart, because it was really hard to imagine that more misfortune would befall Qiu Keluo. After Xia Lulu insisted on convincing herself, she waved the broom to clean the indoor environment again.
