Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

Rozelia Falses once had a demonizer friend.

The Falses family does not distinguish between direct and collateral lines, and does not even have a family unit in the usual sense. The children of all families are collected by the Presbyterian Church after lactation, and are nurtured and taught uniformly, and exercised and trained uniformly. exception.

Children cannot even see their parents until they are eight years old, but they do not lack warmth. In the family's newborn training camp, they receive meticulous care. Professional caregivers and preschool teachers are responsible for guiding the growth of each child. , developing your own interests and expertise is much better and more professional than most parents who have no time to take care of them because of work, and do not have professional childcare certificates.

In the False family, it’s family first and family second.

The family motto of the Falses family is ‘equality and co-prosperity’ and ‘trust and tolerance’.

Not only children, parents rarely see their children. They can only see them twice a year on their birthdays and New Years, let alone exert influence. The glory of the family will shine on all members. This is exactly Equality and common prosperity'.

In the family, everyone is assigned to different positions according to their talents and areas of expertise. Rozelia's parents are members of the Foreign Trade Chamber of Commerce. Compared with other parents who rarely see their children, these two People can stay in the coastal city and have less time to take a good look at Rozelia.

Until the day he was nine years old, his parents returned from the harsh mountains of the Western Region and brought back a little boy.

They said that they were the children of the benefactor who saved their lives. There were countless wild tribes and giant energy beasts in the harsh mountains. Their benefactor died together with a huge Deathclaw tiger in order to protect the caravan in the coastal city. They vowed to bring the child back and treat him as their own.

That was the first time Rozelia met Alaya, a little boy with black hair, purple eyes and demonic patterns on his face.

This is a key propaganda tool for Falses and the demonized people to be as close as one family. They need such evidence to prove that the Falsese family and the seaside capital absolutely do not discriminate against demonized people and treat demonized people equally.

The parents seemed a little guilty. Their son obviously didn't have many opportunities to meet them, but after finally meeting them once, they brought back a new 'child'.

But Rozelia didn't care. Whether it was the family's publicity or his parents' uneasiness and guilt, he didn't think too much about it.

He just stared at the little boy who was hiding behind the adults like a wounded animal, but his eyes were very fierce. A spark suddenly ignited in his lonely heart.

Can I...be friends with you?

The kid with blond hair and green eyes spoke softly, then pointed at the other person and stretched out his hand.

friend?

The child with black hair and purple eyes turned his head in confusion, but he still stretched out his hand.

Although in retrospect, one party was afraid of the unfamiliar environment and the sadness of losing his parents, so when faced with a little kindness, he did not hesitate to grab it.

On the other hand, it is also because of long-term loneliness and loneliness, because the parents are far away and there are not many friends, so they want to find someone to rely on spiritually.

But this kind of acquaintance process is actually not bad.

After all, not all friendships begin innocently enough, and interdependence requires and is a healthy way to interact.

The primitive tribes in the mountains have their own unique way of life. They regard the demonic disease as a blessing and cannibalism as a sacrifice. Only the power brought by the demonic disease can lead them in the almost desperate situation in the harsh mountains. Live in a dangerous environment, and whenever the demonized person goes crazy, someone will voluntarily sacrifice themselves and offer their soul and body to the other person for devouring, maintaining the sanity of the strong person.

In bed, the young Rozelia listened carefully to Alaya's description of the strange customs of the tribe. He listened to the other person's description of the terror of the ogres in the mountains, and also exaggerated the icy cold winds of the snowy mountains in the northwest, and the images that emerged in the wind and snow. Demons and ghosts.

I have to say that this really shocked Rozelia, but he also laughed loudly. During the day, he took Alaya through every corner of the seaside city little by little, allowing him to see that this place was even more beautiful than the mountains in his hometown. A tall island with tall buildings.

With Alaya, he is not alone in his life.

Similarly, Alaya was trained equally by the Falses family and curbed the spread of demonic disease. The two grew up and played together. They walked through every corner of the seaside city together. Witness the endless brilliance of the Demon Moon when it bursts into bloody glory in the city, and gaze at the rising dawn of the Aian continent in the wilderness.

At the age of eighteen, they passed the test together and became official members and employees of the Falses family.

Rozelia showed extraordinary talent in cultivation and combat. He became a spellcaster and set foot on the battlefield of the coastal city and all the forces that peered into the city. Alaiya also undoubtedly made his tribe in the Western Regions The blood of the people flourished, and he became the strongest knight. He held a huge shield high, and his iron tower-like body could block the impact of wild rocks and bulls.

The two of them work together perfectly, whether they are guarding a caravan or performing secret missions.

Even when faced with danger, both parties never thought of abandoning each other and came back from desperate situations hand in hand every time.

They are obviously not brothers, but they are better than brothers.

Until that day, Rozelia became a divine-level mage and the youngest core member of the family.

He came into contact with the truth about the heart of the source energy furnace, the status of demonizers on the mainland, and the cold side of the seaside capital despite its surface enthusiasm.

Although demonizers are allowed to exist in the coastal capital and are treated equally, they are nothing more than tying them up with interests to absorb the power of demonizers that other countries and forces do not need.

Exchanging money for power, in the final analysis, is a transaction... When one day, the benefits brought by the demonizer are not enough to compare with the cost, they will abandon the demonizer without hesitation.

This is normal, the family must be so cold and ruthless in order to continue to survive on this terrible land.

Rozelia understands this.

However, he did not forget the suffering of his brothers, and the suffering of his brothers who were not of the same race.

Rozelia is very smart, and can even be said to be smarter than most people. He knows very well that even if he is dissatisfied, he cannot fight against the entire family's decision-making. In addition to becoming stronger, he also needs to win for the demonizer. More say.

In this way, even if they are abandoned, they will not be ruthlessly destroyed, and maybe there will be a happy ending.

The demonized person must have a city or city district of his own. With a foundation, he will not be secretly discriminated against and regarded as a burden and burden.

In the dim room, Rozelia said seriously to her silent brother: Alaya, I have an idea in my mind... The demonizer can try to become a guard in the city, that is, a member of the patrol team and law enforcement team. , use your own power to capture those dangerous criminals. Although this will make many people hate and fear you, in turn, you will completely become a part of this city and a part of our family... …”

Of course, the best thing is to seize and build a small city exclusively for the demonizers. The second is the exclusive city area. The demonizers need to unite to achieve the ultimate goal. I think areas 193 to 207 are good. There are Many demonizers...

This was just a very superficial idea. Rozelia was still young at that time. Although she had experienced the battlefield of life and death, she was not really sophisticated enough to do so.

It's all up to you, brother.

Alaya nodded solemnly and said gently in a low voice: When the time comes, we will take action.

The time will come soon.

One winter a few years later, the seaside city ushered in another siege by energy beasts and an army of robbers. It was a smoke bomb sent by the empire. In fact, there was an elite group army watching from the side.

As an overly prosperous independent and neutral mobile city, no matter what country it is, it wants to seize the seaside capital as its own economic center.

On the contrary, at least it cannot be obtained by others.

Of course they knew that the strength of the coastal city was not weak, so it was just a test, like a confrontation between wild beasts extending their claws to each other.

It was a brutal battle. Alaya's mace and shield were covered with blood foam and internal organs, and bone fragments were everywhere. He was so exhausted that he could only breathe, and Rozelia was even more unbearable. He All the magic power has been used up, and now he can only lie in the blood and pretend to be dead, quietly recovering his energy.

... Let's go and occupy the imperial town on the border. There should be no one there. The Ninth Army has just retreated. We can occupy that town...

After regaining a little energy, Rozelia was helped up by Alaya. Although his hands and legs were cramped and unable to move, he still cheered up and said: This is a courtesy exchange. Many satellite villages and towns in the coastal city are. That’s how it came about, but this time we have to be quick and bring the demonizer troops over there. We occupy it first, and we will have a greater say in the distribution of the spoils!”

Save your energy and stop talking.

At this, Alaya laughed, his eyes burning, looking in the direction of the town, his eyes full of hope: A town that belongs to demonizers...our home!

It didn't take much effort to capture an empty town, and at the start of the war the Ninth Army dispersed the inhabitants of all mobile towns and used them as forward headquarters.

Although the town is dilapidated, the foundation is intact. The completely destroyed urban area is just used for the construction of brand new buildings. The demons are eager for this land. Although they can live without discrimination, in the final analysis, they are dependent on others and need to rely on their noses. .

respect. Respect is not about charity or tolerance, but about relying on work and your own efforts to get the rewards you deserve. Those who give money do not need to be superior, and those who receive money do not need to be humble. This is respect.

Rozelia is also aware of this problem. He has thought of many solutions, but the most stable and reasonable solution is only to let the demonizer have some of his own foundation. Other methods may have to wait until he becomes a family elder. Only then can it be implemented.

Hundreds of demonized warriors who had known the plan for a long time rushed here. Next, they will stand firm and wait for the Empire's Ninth Army to completely evacuate, and then protect this mobile town from the impact of bandits and energy beasts.

Most of them are very excited, but they suppress this excitement in calmness. They know that the dawn before victory is the darkest. The closer they are to success, the more cautious they must be.

Sure enough, a rapid siren sounded, and the sentry issued an early warning.

The enemy is coming!

They plan to come back and eat our troops!

Ha, it is indeed a trap, but as long as we can withstand this wave of offensive from the Ninth Army, the subsequent support troops can turn around and surround them. This is a great achievement!

Everyone is in position and ready to fight!

Observing with the eagle eye technique, Rozelia laughed loudly. All this was as he expected. The Ninth Army was not directly affiliated with the emperor. It was a war machine group jointly supported by the southeastern nobles. They always responded with an eye for an eye. Why? Perhaps after suffering a loss and losing the battle, you still don’t want to think about how to regain face?

Alaya also stood up silently. The tall man picked up his mace and giant shield, and looked calmly towards the direction where the enemy was attacking again.

But there was hope in his eyes.

Not far away, groups of Ninth Army soldiers lined up in scattered formations with tall armored fighting vehicles. Then, with the belief of revenge, they rushed towards the abandoned town where stronghold fortifications were being built.

…

It's amazing. Those hundreds of demonizer troops actually blocked more than twelve fierce attacks by the Ninth Army's assault brigade, killing nearly a thousand enemies, and allowing us to obtain a large number of prisoners. Now General Tymoshchuk That guy can only bow his head and pay the ransom, an unprecedented victory!

It's a pity that for such bravery, only a dozen people survived in the end. Fortunately, the child who led the army is fine. Rozelia has great potential. He is very worthy of training.

It's a pity that almost the whole army was wiped out. Hey, even if there are only a hundred people left, we can still form a demonizer army with these hundred people as the core. They are really brave.

Rozelia, are you hurt and don't want to talk? Well, it's incredible that you weren't hurt much.

It's well protected.

The memory returns to the present.

Standing at the highest point of the seaside city, the old man who still looked like a blond boy looked down at the city and looked around at the world.

——How long has it been?

A non-demon who cares about the demonized.

——How long has it been since we last met?

A strong old man who is used to seeing the suffering in the world and who is not much younger than himself has not yet lost his enthusiasm. He still has indignation and dissatisfaction with the world and is not numb.

Yeah yeah.

How many years...Alea.

When can I let you rest in peace?

Then let's talk here,

On top of this lighthouse, the Great Mage of Disaster, who still looked like a young man, sat down and said calmly to the old man with the same white hair beside him: You are right, hope can indeed kill people. I know this, I once gave hope to a demonizer, and he believed in that illusory vision until his death.

And I will continue to give hope to more demonized people and let more people die.

Ha, who would really love the demonizers from the bottom of their hearts? They are too dangerous, but we don't have the capital to treat them badly... Professor Svitley, you can't expect people like us to love the weak... Only the most Only a strong being can love a weak being, and we are not worthy.”

Su Zhou also sat down. Although he could not read Rozelia's memory, he could sense his inner emotions.

It was a sadness and determination so rich that I can't forget it even now.

This old man is lying, but there is no need to expose it. Everyone has past events that they don't want to talk about casually, so there is no need to delve into it.

So the man was silent for a while, and then said: Objectively, demonizers are a threat, and we should not accept them rationally.

But I have a secret method that allows demonized people to transform into extraordinary beings relatively safely. As long as it becomes popular, I believe that the status of demonized people will definitely change, and the social structure of this world will also change.

Most of the demonizers are just talented people among the people who have not been protected. Their talents have not been highlighted by education, but they are demonized because they are instinctively close to the source of energy.

This is also the reason why there are many strong ones among demonized people. They should be strong by nature, but demonized disease actually seals their future and gives them power in advance that they should not have.

Su Zhou simply handed a booklet to Rozelia.

And Rozelia did not hesitate to open it and browse its contents.

Knight, spellcaster, and alchemist, these are the three major professions in the world of Aian, and the three methods of utilizing source energy.

The knight relies on source energy to strengthen himself and his weapons, greatly improving his fine operation and reaction capabilities.

Spellcasters rely on source energy to strengthen their souls, analyze the root truth, and use source energy and knowledge to cast various wonderful spells.

Alchemists use source energy to create things, and their creations are like embodiments of truth. No matter what magical function they have, they can achieve it, as long as they can pay the price and master the knowledge.

Mages can read extremely fast, their brains are comparable to real supercomputers, and even quantum reading is a breeze.

But Rozelia carefully read this booklet page by page, reading it in detail, and even an illiterate person could understand the practice guidance method in general.

When he finished reading, he closed the booklet and closed his eyes.

The Dragon of Dusk will be unsealed, within twenty years.

The blond 'boy' suddenly spoke, and once he said it, it was extremely secretive information that even many group army leaders and great nobles might not know: Even if we can restore the original appearance of the demonized person, let the curse change. It’s too late to be a blessing.”

But...Professor, you are really great.

Nothing great.

Su Zhou shook his head: This is the 'should be done' and the 'right' thing. As a strong man, this is what it should be.

Opening his eyes, Rozelia took a deep look at Su Zhou and smiled: I heard that Professor Svetrey was a cruel and terrifying butcher who caused a tragic massacre in Ayvind City and killed many people. The torture and murder of Earl Ayvind seems to be all fake now.

An orphanage director shouldn't be so cruel.

It's true, but there's no other reason. Su Zhou was keenly aware that Rozelia's view of him had changed dramatically. He reminded: Don't riddle me. Since you don't have enough time, tell me quickly. What does it look like for someone who is several dozen years old to speak slowly and slowly?

And Rozelia nodded. This disaster expert had no airs. He raised his hand and pointed to the north: The Holy Sun is about to go out, and the final war is about to begin. In order to fight for the hope of surviving in the darkness, all the people with No trump card force would be willing to become someone else’s food and fuel.”

The Coastal City has a Holy Sun Crystal Engine excavated from the last era, also called the Holy Rock of First Glory. It holds nearly unlimited energy and is the object of prying eyes of all major forces. However, our strength is not weak, so At present, the main focus is to win over and intimidate, but in a few years, it is estimated that the army will overwhelm the enemy.

However, the northern barbarians are different. They believe in the Dragon of Dusk, and the cold land they live in is not much better than the dark era. They have nothing to fear, and the Dragon of Dusk, which is about to awaken, also gives them power. , the number of their professionals is increasing dramatically, and the Yanshuang Army in the north does not even know when it will be eroded, and the former enemies have joined forces.

I may know why.

Su Zhou nodded. He described the soul purification effect brought by the Dusk Mark, and did not hide that his Ember Fire Guidance Technique was inspired by it.

The large number of extraordinary beings that appeared among the barbarians in the north were obviously a large number of demonized people who were purified into extraordinary beings by the power of the Dragon of Twilight. The Yanshuang Army had been mixed with the barbarians for a long time before the war. Although the war lasted for a long time, But what they really hate is the Asmodei Empire that abandoned the north.

This suddenly made Rozelia realize.

What do you need me to do?

Communicating with the real head of the Falses family, Su Zhou gained a lot of secrets about the world, such as some secrets about the royal family of the Asmodai Empire, about the Demon Moon, the northern barbarians, and the seal. The mysterious pull of the moon... There are many secrets. The Falses family is one of the most powerful forces in the world, second only to those large alliances. They know far better information than Su Zhou.

After learning this precious information, Su Zhou directly asked the other party's purpose - the Burning Fire was certainly precious, but something that was about to be popularized was obviously not valuable.

It's sunset now.

Originally, I thought you might be a strong man in the disaster realm. I wanted to win you over to join our Falses family, and trade with you the knowledge you gained in the ancient ruins. This is the reason why you have become so powerful.

Rozelia stood up. He looked down at the holy sun that was slowly sinking into the horizon. His eyes were deep: But it's not necessary now. The flames will burn and will always burn. The war will spread here. Let's not talk about whether you will. If you are willing to join, even if you join, it will only tie you to a chariot.

The coastal city will rise in a few months and start moving to the volcanic zone deep in the southeastern sea to avoid the flames of war. There is no doubt that this is just an escape, and we will definitely be pursued by major forces, but we will do our best In order to prepare for the battle, this auction is to find out the purposes and tendencies of the major forces, and to collect a wave of funds to purchase resources.

Having said this, he turned his head and looked at Su Zhou, who was also standing up. Rozelia said in a deep voice: I already know your purpose, Professor Swetley, you want to obtain a Holy Rock of First Glory, we have it, But that’s the engine that drives action in Beach City, and we can’t give it to you.”

But we will support you so that you have enough strength and resources to obtain the Holy Rock of the First Glory in the East China Sea - we have a special tracking array that can capture the aura similar to the Holy Rock of the First Glory.

Ha ha.

Hearing this, Su Zhou already understood the other party's purpose, and he laughed: Throwing out a crackling smoke bomb not only hides people's ears and eyes, but also attracts attention - you want me to make a big fuss in the East China Sea , let everyone’s attention be focused there, so that the coastal city can retreat?”

You really believe in me. You believe that I will definitely make a big move, and you will definitely agree to do so.

Why don't you believe it?

In response, Rozelia smiled faintly. He took out the pamphlet given by Su Zhou, took a look at it, and then looked down at the city.

The man whispered: I always believe in hope.

Even if it kills people.

Starting today, the seaside capital will begin to popularize the guidance technique you wrote. Believe me, the seaside capital... obey my orders.

Saying this, the blond boy took out an opaque crystal box from somewhere.

This is considered a deposit, an advance payment.

oh?

Su Zhou raised his brows. He already knew what was in the box without stretching out his hand: To be honest, are you giving this thing away? It's worth one to two billion empire coins and half an armed fleet. If you were yourself If you eat it, I’m afraid you will stay young forever like you are now.”

Rozelia pushed the box into Su Zhou's arms without any hesitation: You are worth more than five full armored fleets.

Take it, take it as an old man's thanks.

——Think of it as a sacrifice to hope.

...I hope no sacrifice is needed.

Sensing what the other party was thinking, Su Zhou accepted the box containing the fire-burning sacred wood, but his face became serious and he said in a deep voice: It will not stand behind a coward. It can only be obtained by fighting hard - the seaside You may be able to escape the flames of war, but you absolutely cannot. If there are things you need to do in the future, your strength should be used to fight, not just think about escaping.

As for the East China Sea matter, I promise you, this is what I should have done.

Su Zhou turned around and left. He simply jumped off the lighthouse and rode the wind back towards the direction of the Chuyao Ship.

Rozelia, who wanted to continue to say something, stood there, opened his mouth, and then turned his head silently.

The old man looked at the setting sun, which was mostly sinking into the horizon, with burning eyes.

Yes, there is nowhere to escape, there is no room left in this world.

My friend... he sighed: Maybe it's now.

I promised you...

Silence followed.

In the memory, the battlefield where everything was over, two people sat on the battlefield at dusk, bathing in the afterglow of the setting sun. In the long night, before sunrise, one person fell, and only one person continued to sit until now.

Today, the sun rises.

The seated man stood up and faced the sun.

It's time to fight.
