My Players' Second Playthrough

Unlike the situation in the first round, the panel scanned by this guy is an NPC.

Seeing that he did not enter the battle immediately, the "Thief God" pointed at the stake behind him and said:

"Is this how you protect the fire of mankind? Burn a few people for fun?"

Seeing that the village chief greeted the outsider, the villagers who had been hiding finally dared to show their heads and peeked from behind the stone house.

[Megan Douglas] spread his hands and let the two look at the village behind him. He said to the scholar who obviously knew a little:

"The humus lake outside the cave is full of poison and can't grow food. The only thing the more than 100 people in the village can rely on is the mushrooms outside."

"For thousands of years, generation after generation, I have fed tens of thousands of people with them."

"Can you imagine the difficulty of this?"

[Xiu Jie] took a half step back and hid behind "Thief God" before responding:

"Just relying on you to burn a girl every year? This is simply impossible to do."

How could it be possible to get the fertility to feed a hundred people for a year by burning only one girl? Even if he had a way to burn the soul, it would not be enough.

This guy must be lying.

[Xiu Jie] felt that this guy had other ways to feed the villagers. The evil deeds he did in the village were just to create undead spirits suitable for him.

Seeing this, [Megan Douglas] shook his head slightly and actually explained.

"The concept of [virgin] can transform women's souls into power related to pregnancy, so they can be used to nourish the earth."

"A soul with a [noble heart] can carry spiritual power far beyond that of ordinary people."

"As for [admirers], the villagers' love, jealousy, desire...all the thoughts projected on their souls will become the power accumulated in their souls."

"I nurtured those girls, and from the moment they were born, I used their souls to accumulate power, and eventually fed this power back to the village."

"Spiritual power can actually be transformed into physical power. Quality, how——"

Megan Douglas realized that he had lost his composure halfway through his boasting, and immediately changed his expression, saying with regret:

"I thought that mankind was extinct, otherwise I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure."

"I know this behavior is unethical."

"Is it to sacrifice one person, save a hundred people, and preserve the hope of mankind, or to watch everyone die for the sake of my own reputation."

"I hope you can understand what I did."

"The Thief God" is used to drawing his weapon to attack at the moment of attack, so at this moment he has nothing in his hands, but he always keeps a state of readiness.

He tilted his head slightly, motioned the other party to look at the two teenagers, and asked:

"What's wrong with these two children?"

[Megan Douglas] stared at the eyes of "Thief God" and said with a clear conscience:

"They rejected the village's philosophy and insisted on leaving, so I could only agree."

"Please understand that there is not much food in the village. Before they set off, I gave them precious earthworm jerky."

"Of course, the responsibility for this matter lies with me. In order to preserve the fire of civilization, I provided basic education for the villagers, so they will have their own ideas and plan to leave here."

"If I treat them as fools and raise them like animals, this kind of thing will not happen, but in order to protect civilization..."

"Hey-" [Megan Douglas] sighed, "You two, I have no intention of being an enemy of you, and I am willing to return to the city with you and return to the embrace of civilization."

"If there is a trial at that time, I only ask for a chance to defend myself."

The village chief's attitude was very humble, and the two seemed to find no reason to refuse.

[Xiu Jie] nodded slightly, not agreeing with this guy's self-exculpation, but thinking about the feasibility of the technology.

He had read the interview of the "God of Creation" by the academy and knew that spiritual power was the key to becoming a "god".

The so-called "divine power" is a kind of spiritual power, but mortals cannot use it.

This guy's burning ceremony transformed the divine power that only "gods" and "clergy" use into the fertility of the mushroom forest.

This is a step from 0 to 1.

You know, the essence of the "divine magic" in the academy is nothing more than using magic power to imitate the effect of divine magic.

It's like using a "lighter" to replace "fire-starting magic".

[Megan Douglas] This guy is a real genius.

It is not difficult to imagine that if he was brought back to the Thirteen Cities Alliance, there would be no so-called trial at all. He would be snatched away by the magic academy at the first time, and after deliberation, he would get the top funding and support, and even open up a new school.

By then, perhaps countless people will be eager to join him and share a share of his research results.

And as the mentor who brought him back, the benefits he can gain from it...

Just thinking about it makes people dizzy.

"We are from the Thirteen Cities Alliance, which is a big city with tens of millions of people." The tone of "Thief God" has eased a lot, "He and I wandered around the world just to find survivors and bring them all back to the alliance."

"You'd better not resist and return to the alliance with us. If you can successfully defend yourself, you may be able to join the Magic Academy."

[Megan Douglas] looked happy and said excitedly: "That's great, I can leave with you anytime!"

Seeing that the other party did not resist, "The Thief" breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand to [Xiu Jie] and said:

"Since there is no danger, then give me back my teleportation scroll."

"Your teleportation scroll?" [Xiu Jie] was stunned, not understanding how this thing became his.

"The Thief" took it directly and urged: "I just lent it to you just now. I spent a lot of money to buy it. Don't think about stealing my things again!"

After all, they were companions who had been together for 4 days. [Xiu Jie] immediately understood what he meant, muttered "How stingy", and reluctantly returned the large teleportation scroll to this guy.

This scroll can send people 300 kilometers away, and the materials used to make it are very rare.

[Megan Douglas] smiled and looked at the magic scroll in the hand of the "Thief", not knowing what she was thinking.

The next thing was simple.

"The Thief" wanted to take all the villagers away. Although he had to cross the poison pool, he had a lot of magic scrolls on him, so it was not a problem to take these people away.

Xiu Jie followed Megan Douglas and introduced him to the magic academy as a student.

At such a close distance, if Megan had any idea, she could kill Xiu Jie at any time.

But he really had no ill intentions.

This guy was really interested in the academy and asked a lot of details in succession. Xiu Jie answered them one by one. After all, he really lived there for 3 years.

The more he asked, the more excited Megan Douglas was.

Details could not be faked. He could now be sure that there was a prosperous civilization behind these two guys and a magic academy.

"Hey, Xiu Jie, the return journey is estimated to take a week. Is there anything——"

The busy "Thief God" who was helping the villagers pack their luggage came over and suddenly grabbed Megan Douglas's shoulder.

A flash of white light, the two were teleported to a place 300 kilometers away.

Xiu Jie looked at the two who disappeared, shrugged, and said to himself, "Sure enough."
