Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

It doesn’t matter what the miracle is used for.

After roughly communicating with Ming Xiao, Su Zhou packed up the bodies at the scene and buried them in the stone pit he dug.

It didn't take long to do this. When he turned back, he saw Dawn flying around Gaza and Luoya at an even speed, looking at the two children curiously, like a large butterfly, or maybe It's a drone.

What? Is there anything special about them?

Su Zhou was not worried about the other party having any evil thoughts towards the children.

Because he knew that apart from her racial characteristics, which allowed her to fly and her unusually long life, Dawn was actually 'weaker' than ordinary people.

Luo Ya aside, Gaza could probably hit three of her with one hand.

This is not difficult to understand, because the stronger the life, the harder it is for it to be stagnated by the 'stasis field', and then sleep without damage and spend a long time.

Just like Su Zhou's body, it cannot be stagnated by the stasis field at all. Although his source energy is not much, it is extremely pure and extremely active, enough to interfere with the operation of most precision equipment.

Well, it is indeed very special... the life bloodlines of this era have actually been integrated to this point, almost becoming a completely new race. This is something we never imagined at the beginning.

Stopping flying, Mingxia didn't pay attention to Gasha's alertness and Luoya's curious eyes.

She even took the initiative to extend her metal wings and let the curious Loya touch them, causing him to cheer quietly.

The half-elf stared at the two children calmly, scanning their different pupils, then turned to look at Su Zhou, and nodded thoughtfully: Of course, your bloodline is more special than theirs, which surprises me—— Why does the blood of the tree people merge with the devil? This is contrary to common sense...

I don't know how humans and silver fairies can mix.

Watching the interaction between the half-goblin and the children, Su Zhou stood aside and complained: Fairies are pure energy creatures, and they can be hybrids. It is simply outrageous.

In fact, I do not know.

Dawn floated in the air, pointing to a light silver rune mark on his shoulder, and admitted generously: I am an artificial creation created in the ancient era. They used a lot of advanced technology when creating me, even involving... Quite complex soul engineering, not a natural hybrid at all.”

And I guess that you are also the product of a similar project.

At this moment, Master Suiguang has woken up.

He woke up slowly, and the first words he said after opening his eyes were to laugh at himself in surprise: Well... I'm not dead? 】

But after speaking, Sui Guang realized something was wrong: [Wait, why did I say this? I obviously just thought so in my heart...the same goes for this sentence! ? what happened? 】

[Why do I say whatever comes to my mind and cannot keep silent? 】

Because you have been infected by my 'Demon Virus Specialized for Riddler'. Su Zhou didn't even turn around: I will remove it later, but during this period, you will say whatever you think, and it is impossible to hide it. .”

Children, take a good look at Master Suiguang now. This is the fate of the Riddler.

And the children’s spirited answer rang out: “Yes!”

[Sigh... I didn’t expect you, Professor, to have such a skill. 】

In this regard, Shuguang, who fully understood his current situation, could only smile bitterly: [If the experts from the Imperial Inquisition knew about it, they would definitely try their best to obtain this technology - the truth serum is too expensive, and the interrogation effect is not very good. good. 】

The efficiency of communication between humans is low because both parties cannot prove their true inner thoughts and do not know whether the other party is sincere or lying. Even if they are repeatedly confirmed, they cannot really be sure of the truth.

But in the supernatural world, if both parties want to treat others sincerely, they can guarantee sincerity and use the fluctuations of their souls as evidence.

If one party is powerful enough to cover up this fluctuation and prevent the other party from noticing it, then in more than 90% of the cases, the powerful party can obtain the information it wants simply by relying on coercion without communication.

Although Su Zhou's soul was powerful, he had no intention of hiding it; and although Mingxiao had a strange origin, he had no intention of hiding his thoughts.

As for Sui Guang, he was disturbed by the Demonic Virus and was currently unable to hide his innermost thoughts.

【That’s it. 】

After realizing this, this man-made being couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then shook his head slightly: [Since I can't lie, and I can't keep silent, I can only tell everything I know. 】

The effectiveness of the Riddler's special devil virus is so terrifying.

At this point, everyone had a friendly and cordial multi-party conversation based on the current situation in an excellent communication environment of sincerity, integrity, and no secrets, and exchanged some information and opinions with each other.

The result was that everyone was quite surprised, even shocked.

The technological level of the Aian continent's civilization is not low. According to Ming Xiao's words, it is only a few key technologies away from the previous era to start a new generation of technological revolution. In a few hundred years, we can catch up. superior.

After all, being able to create something like a source energy mobile city is enough to prove that this world's industrial capabilities are quite superb.

But that wasn't what surprised Dawn.

Are you saying that the Holy Day has been dimmed again?

Listening to Master Suiguang's explanation of the current situation in the mainland, the girl's pupils couldn't help but focus slightly: Let me confirm again, it should only be eight thousand years since the civilization of the previous era?

To be precise, the ancestors of all races appeared on this continent more than 8,000 years ago.

Su Zhou corrected him based on the information in his memory: Before this, there must have been a blank period that was not recorded in history.

It will only take a few hundred years at most to reach the mainland from the shelter, which is almost nothing.

Sighing softly, the wings behind Mingxiao trembled slightly, proving that she was not at peace inside: Since it has begun to dim, then the extinction is about to come. I didn't expect that I would encounter such a situation again just after I woke up.

【indeed so. For you who have just come out of the iron coffin, this news is indeed bad, but the fact is that according to the observations of the Light Chasing Order, the Holy Sun will be completely extinguished within a hundred or two hundred years at most. 】

Sui Guang obviously didn't know that Su Zhou was actually the one who had risen from the coffin. He shook his head worriedly and made a scraping sound of steel: [For ordinary people with short lives, two hundred years sounds very far away, but in fact, the saint will be here soon. The consequences of the sun's dimming will appear - the continent of Aian will gradually be buried by ice and snow, the ocean will be frozen, and the plants will become extinct. In less than two hundred years, all living things will usher in the cold, deathly darkness. 】

[As for the worshipers of the Dusk Dragon, the two tribes of Winter and Higurashi will also take advantage of this time to attack. They are not afraid of the end, and even long for the end of all things, because the place where they live now is the ice prison of suffering. , the equal destruction brought by the Dusk Dragon is the revenge they most desire for this continent. 】

again?

Su Zhou noticed the details in Mingxiao's words. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party: It seems this is not the first time you have encountered this situation, right?

The girl turned her head, glanced at Su Zhou, and then nodded slightly: You are very perceptive, indeed.

I am not a creation of the previous era, but a life created in an older era, when the gods still existed.

I am one of the direct successors of the gods, a creation of the 'Fairy Civilization'. I am one of the many methods they tried to deal with the Dragon of Twilight and the final disaster of the 'extinguishing of the Holy Sun'.

This news was indeed unexpected.

Both Su Zhou and Sui Guang were slightly startled, and then their expressions became solemn.

The murals in the Chuyao ruins depict scenes of the gods fighting against the dragon of dusk, but they do not show the element of the extinguishing of the holy sun.

In addition, no one except Su Zhou believed that the sacred tree and the gods really existed - they believed that it was probably the result of the mythology of the scene where the heroes fought against the Dragon of Dusk in ancient times.

After the gods sealed the Dragon of Dusk and turned it into the 'Sealed Moon', the Holy Sun began to gradually dim. Other than that, I don't know much about that era.

The fate of the gods is unknown to Dawn. Although she is a creation of the fairy civilization, she spends most of her time in the laboratory and has never really lived in the fairy civilization.

Most of the gods who were almost dead and injured disappeared. All civilizations were forced to join forces to deal with this sudden doomsday, and the elf civilization was the most enthusiastic one among them.

Because goblins are beings of pure energy, facing the Holy Sun that is indeed gradually extinguishing, and the source energy that is gradually becoming polluted under the influence of the Demonic Moon, the foundation of their existence begins to collapse.

Before other races become extinct due to the cold, they will die due to the dissipation of source energy.

To solve this problem, they simulated the human body and then tried to integrate fairies of pure energy into the body.

It was difficult, but it worked out in the end, and Dawn was a creation of its time.

With the physical body, the affinity to source energy is greatly reduced, but the resistance to dirty source energy is also increased. The fairies are worried about whether their creations and new descendants can inherit their technology and civilization, but time waits for no one. , the Holy Day is coming, and they have to make the final choice.

That's when I was sealed for the first time. When I came out again, I was unearthed from ancient ruins by the Winged People.

Shaking his head calmly, Mingxiao's tone was neither sad nor joyous: It was thirty-one thousand years after the destruction of the goblin civilization. In a new era, the holy sun began to extinguish again. Humans, winged people and devils have been fighting for thousands of years. war, but faced with the reality of the end of the world, they still joined forces to try to fight against this second coming of the apocalypse.”

As an ancient being who has inherited part of the technology of the elf civilization, and some of the survivors of the last era who were also discovered, I have cooperated with them in research for a period of time and created a new batch of races that are more optimized and more resistant to source energy. .”

To be honest, I still haven't left the laboratory - I don't really care. In short, before the second holy day was extinguished, I was sent into the stasis field again and existed as a 'watchman'.

Then the third Holy Sun will be extinguished, and a new era will follow...that is, the civilization of the era before you.

Because of the creations inherited in many ruins, their technology is quite advanced and they have even touched the realm of the gods, but the time left to them is even shorter - thirty-one thousand, twenty-five thousand, seventeen thousand Years, when your generation comes and the Fourth Holy Sun is extinguished, there are only eight thousand years left.

Although technology is passed on and civilization develops, each generation is better than the next, but the time for the Holy Sun to maintain its light is getting shorter and shorter.

At this point, the half-elf looked around at everyone present. Her eyes were as calm as a mirror, reflecting everyone's expressions: And this time, the civilization of Aian continent is not as advanced as the last civilization. The situation is very bad.

However, your source energy utilization technology is very powerful, and you can even create a steel body that relies on pure source energy and machinery to entrust your thoughts... This is a completely new way of thinking.

She praised: I saw your battle. This is a path similar to the gods. Maybe we can find another way.

The information and truth revealed at dawn were beyond Su Zhou and Sui Guang's expectations.

This half-elf actually lived through the end of eras several times, and passed through long years in the stasis field again and again!

The fact that the Holy Sun was extinguished again and again made everyone present frown.

[Academia has always been thinking about why such an advanced civilization of the previous era was suddenly destroyed...]

Suiguang murmured: [Originally we speculated that it was a geological disaster, a world war, or a natural disaster, but we never thought that they faced the extinguishing of the Holy Sun just like us...]

Having said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: [The sect's guess is not wrong. There are indeed secrets hidden in this ruins about the end of the world in the previous era, which may help us fight against the end of the world. 】

[But who knew it was such a secret? 】

The Ancestors... You are really considered the Ancestors. This happened several epochs ago.

Su Zhou sighed with emotion, and then asked curiously: I would like to ask, not counting the time in the stasis field, how many years have you lived consciously?

Four hundred and seventeen years, which is still very young for a half-elf, and ninety percent of it is spent in the laboratory.

Mingxiao's face was calm, even though Gasha on one side was shocked and whispered to Luo Ya, 'It's not sister, it's grandma! ’ ‘Grandma can’t live more than four hundred years! ’ The same goes for this.

She did not shy away from this: Every time I wake up, I have to face the extinguishing of the Holy Sun. But it is not surprising that if civilization wants to develop to the point where it can find a research institute, it will take thousands of years and tens of thousands of years of development - primitive There is no way people can dig through the mountain and wake me up.”

Up to now, Mingxiao has a certain understanding of the current situation of civilization in Aian continent.

The situation is not too bad. At least your civilization has noticed the changes in the Holy Day and is planning to deal with it.

Saying this, the half-elf simply turned around. She crossed Su Zhou and Sui Guang and floated towards the depths of the ruins: This way I can help you just like I helped the previous civilizations.

Come on, let's go to the deepest part of the institute. I want to restart it.

Why help us?

Su Zhou stood up and took steps, calling for Gasha and Luo Ya to follow him. Sui Guang naturally also started to do the same.

But he still questioned this sentence habitually.

Dawn stopped flying, and the metal butterfly wings trembled slightly.

The half-goblin who rarely showed emotion turned her head, looked at Su Zhou, and answered seriously: Because this is the meaning of my creation and existence in the world.

Because I want to live too.

Under the leadership of Mingxiao, Su Zhou and his party walked towards the deepest part of the Chuyao ruins.

at the same time.

Asmodeus Empire, new capital, Fort San Montacini.

October 22nd, sunny.

The huge mobile city is like a mountain running on the ground, and the violent energy fluctuations are like waves visible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions.

Ever since Asmodai IX abandoned his old capital in the northeast and moved the capital to China in order to avoid the increasingly fierce intrusions of the two barbarian tribes in the twilight of winter in the north, the empire has lost control of the northern region.

If it hadn't been for the Yanshuang Army formed spontaneously by the locals with Yanshuang Pass as the center to block the barbarian invasion, it is likely that the northeastern region of the mainland would be in a mess today.

But the emperors naturally never cared about this trivial matter - why bother to face the barbarian soldiers on the frontier if they could live happily in the prosperous areas in the middle of the country?

In late autumn and early winter, sunny days can also bring a bit of coolness, but for local residents, after three consecutive weeks of rainy weather, this bright sunshine is really rare, just in time to bask in the quilt and go out to visit relatives and friends.

Fort Saint-Montasini was originally a large military fortress city in the central region of the empire. It was one of the largest mobile fortress groups in the empire. The area it usually travels is between the Montasini Mountains and the intersection of the two rivers. Even though Even if there is a natural disaster, it will not move too far, and it will always wait around this strategic location.

However, after becoming the new capital, the original military fortress was quickly transformed into a large comprehensive city. Many small commercial city-states merged into this mobile urban agglomeration, making it lively and prosperous.

Of course, even so, this does not change the fact that it is essentially a military fortress.

Click, click. The sound of metal friction sounded, accompanied by the buzzing of the earth source energy engine. A row of tall steel giants silently patrolled the core city. They held giant shields and spears, and their momentum was like a row of moving city walls. Enough to crush everything in front of you.

Bang. Their steps were uniform, but they seemed to be walking as one person.

This scene caused the surrounding passers-by and vendors to remain silent in awe, subconsciously lowering their gazes.

Because that is the imperial imperial guard, the emperor's guard.

Each of the guards is at least a professional of the Spiritual Glory level, and the team captains are all masters of the Heart Light level, and the third-generation Mars armor they wear is difficult for even practitioners of the Heart Light level to Breaking it is enough to withstand a base amount of source energy artillery fire.

Just a dozen guards, placed outside, are enough to fight against an army of more than ten thousand people. Their charge cannot be stopped even by chariots, and it is easy to capture a mobile city-state.

They can only be seen frequently in the core city of Fort Saint-Montasini, and if they are seen elsewhere, it means that somewhere will cause a bloody storm and bring down the emperor's wrath.

The guards were conducting daily routine patrols. Although boring, it was necessary.

But in the middle of the patrol, the captain of the Imperial Guard saw a familiar figure walking in the street, and was slightly startled.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice:

Lord Knight!

Even the other guards who had not reacted immediately reacted after hearing this title. They also half-knelt on the ground and whispered to the figure who was forced to stop: Greetings, Lord Knight. !”

For a moment, not only the guards, but all the people who heard this call, whether they were tourists, residents or vendors, all looked in that direction, and then they all fell down amidst cheers.

Greetings, Lord Knight!

In just a few seconds, there was only one person standing in the entire street, and that was a man who had obviously been disguised.

He was surprised at first, but then helplessly looked around at the crowd of people kneeling around him.

He took off his disguise sunglasses and his disguised beard. The old man with outstanding appearance, gray hair and golden eyes sighed: Everyone, get up... Alas, I am not a nobleman, and I don't even have a military rank. Why do you bother to see me every time? I was kneeling...

But obviously, no one can be convinced by this kind of argument.

If you were not willing to accept the reward, Sir Knight, with your merits and strength, you would have become an earl and marshal long ago.

The captain of the guard still lowered his head and said in a deep voice: His Majesty personally acknowledged him as 'the first knight of the empire', 'the hero who repels natural disasters', and 'seeing him is like seeing an orphan'. He defeated twenty-four members of the Higurashi tribe with one ride. During the first offensive, the strongest man in the empire was guarding Yanshuang Pass... Sir, why do you need to disguise yourself? There is nowhere in the world that you cannot go to?

——Of course I can go anywhere, I just want to wander around the city with less noise and not disturb the people too much...

Every time he went out, it caused a lot of noise and chaos. The old knight also knew that it was not easy to refuse the enthusiasm of the people. He could only shout loudly for everyone to stand up, and then disappear as quickly as possible.

Obviously, this scene is not the first time it has occurred.

After noticing the knight's departure, the captain of the guard stood up to maintain order and restore calm to the people who were excited to see the idol.

Some time later, on the edge of the new capital, there was a hidden residence.

What, Iloviz, you old guy, why did you come to me again today?

A majestic old man standing at the window, facing the sun and reading a newspaper, suddenly felt something. He turned his head and saw the helpless gray-haired knight opening the door as if opening his own home, and then picked up a glass from the table. Drink tea.

What can I do? I went out for a walk and was discovered again... Why do you like to put sugar in tea? That's so weird!

Although he frowned, the old knight still drank heavily - taking advantage of his friends was fun in itself.

Haha, I knew you didn't like sweet food, so I changed it specially. The old man put away the newspaper, then laughed and walked forward, giving the other party a firm hug: Why are you here to steal my tea? Are you tired of living in a mansion? Or are you tired of the beauties His Majesty gave you?

Aharonov, you know I don't like that kind of luxury the most. I have refused it many times, but His Majesty just wants to give it to me.

After hugging the old man forcefully and letting go, the gray-haired old man, First Knight Ilovitz, took off his coat and threw it on the sofa aside.

Hearing his friend's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: But you are right, I am indeed too tired to stay. If His Majesty hadn't said that now is a critical moment and he needs me to guard the imperial capital, I would have gone to patrol the border long ago.

You never learn to enjoy yourself. You have so much power, but you live like an ascetic monk.

After taking a few steps back and looking at the simple clothes of the man in front of him, Aharonov stroked his beard and said with a smile: Then you came to me for a discussion today? But not today, I have something to deal with.

Why, what happened to the Third Army again? I remember that your son has fully mastered military affairs, and you can retire when His Majesty officially appoints him next year?

I really wanted to discuss with the old man, and Ilovitz couldn't help but be curious about how to play. Ever since the old man retreated to the second line and only occasionally remotely controlled things in the military, the other party had never refused his request for discussion: Is it possible? What is something that is quite difficult for you as an admiral?

It's not a difficult matter. It doesn't require your attention, Sir Knight.

Admiral Akharonov shook his head slightly and sat on the sofa nearby. He didn't care that Ilovitz's coat was under his butt. He frowned slightly: It's just that a promising subordinate of mine died. The ruins are there. Something went wrong with Bian's exploration, and everything that was supposed to be fully prepared went unexpectedly.

As he said this, he clicked his tongue quite unhappily: No matter how careful the plan is, accidents will always happen, and the Light Chasing Order really needs to be punished, but they dare to interfere in military affairs and hinder His Majesty's plan.

Is it the one over the northern Ionian Mountains?

Hearing about the Light Chasing Order and the ruins, Iloviz realized what the other party was talking about. He nodded slightly: The plan was leaked from the beginning. There are spies from the Order in the army. I said, This exploration won’t go well.”

Yeah, but I didn't expect Yelena to die.

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, the old man's tone was distressed: How do you think I should explain to little Anna that her mother will never come back?

She is a good subordinate. I originally planned to promote her to the leader of the Guards Division after she comes back.

Yeah, it's a pity.

Ilovitz also nodded slightly. He obviously knew Yelena: She has good talent. She will definitely be able to advance to Divine Will in the future. Even in the 'disaster situation', she may be able to break through. She is a general seed.

But it's not considered a failure.

Patting the sofa and gesturing for Iloviz to sit down, Admiral Aharonov spoke calmly at this moment, like the frost in the north: She is dead, which means there is indeed something there - there is what we need. s things.

But actually I don't quite understand.

Reaching out to pull his coat out from under the old man's buttocks, Ilovitz sat down unceremoniously. He frowned slightly: Why do you have to explore these ancient ruins? Although the technology in the previous era was indeed very high, at present According to the analysis of many ruins, we have surpassed them in source energy cultivation. At most, some civilian technologies and biotechnology have not kept up.

Because of Your Majesty. The old general closed his eyes.

Your Majesty? The first knight raised his brows. He subconsciously looked out the window at a ray of light located deep in the Montasini Mountains.

A ray of light reaches through the sky and reaches the sky, directly into the sky, high in the sky.

The reason why Fort Saint-Montasini was chosen as the new capital, according to many residents of the empire, is because it is located in the center of the empire, where it is the most peaceful and peaceful place where you can enjoy your life.

But in fact, the senior officials of the empire, at least those who are close to His Majesty the Emperor, know very well that these are just folk rumors.

Fort Saint-Montasini was originally a military fortress located on the edge of a remote mountain range. Although it is prosperous now, how could it have anything to do with enjoyment in the first place?

The reason why Asmodai IX and the four subsequent generations of emperors chose this place as their imperial capital.

Simply because this fortress is closest to the 'ruin'.

Deep in the Montasini Mountains, a magnificent tower called 'Babel' is about to be completed. Because of the emperor's will, the top of this thousand-meter-high tower shines with bright light. It condenses enough energy to destroy any fortified city. The source energy of the city wall is only emitted towards the top of the sky, like a ladder leading to the sky, reaching the brightest holy day.

If you look down at the earth from the sky, you can find that the giant tower is located exactly in the center of the Montasini Mountains.

The Montasini Mountains also happen to be in an unusually regular 'circle'.

No...not just that...

The entire Montasini Mountains, located in the center of the entire continent of Aian, and the surrounding high hilly areas, are a whole. And its shape will make all lumberjacks feel extremely familiar.

Because, it's like...

The stump of a giant tree.

Is it actually His Majesty's will...

At some point, both Ilovitz and Aharonov stood by the window. They looked at the giant tower and beams of light in the distance and couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

Asmodai Thirteenth...His Majesty the Sun Emperor. The old admiral whispered to himself: What your Majesty wants to do, we ministers always can't understand.

Iloviz, you are the person closest to His Majesty, you...

...Your Majesty promoted me to a humble position, and I shall repay you with my life.

Shaking his head slightly, interrupting his friend's words, the first knight calmly said: If Your Majesty doesn't tell you, I won't ask.

Whatever he asks me to do, as long as it doesn't violate morality, I will do it.

Oh, you pedantic guy...

Akharonov wanted to laugh at the other party, but suddenly, his expression changed slightly.

The white-haired old man, who seemed to be aging, had a solemn look in his eyes. He turned his head and looked to the northwest. His gaze penetrated the void like thunder, stirring up energy: What happened?

Is it a natural disaster? No, there has been a natural disaster in that direction...is it an earthquake?

Ilovitz's senses became even more acute, and he squinted slightly to cover up the rotating source energy array in his eyes.

The first knight frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: It's an earthquake - and it's also a man-made earthquake! The crustal plates in that direction did not tremble - the barbarians in the northern Ionian Mountains gave birth to a disaster strongman. By?!

Or……

Is there something wrong with the ruins?
