Gold is Justice

Ariel: "Obviously, neither will I. I will not discriminate against someone because of their race. In my opinion, race is not the key to distinguishing each other, but faith is. They are also victims of the Demon King Army, just Just like you. If some blood races defeated by the demon army appear in front of you now, will you take up arms and immediately fight these blood races to the death? Or help them repel the devil army that is chasing them?"

Thor on the side seemed to want to argue, saying: "But they are vampires! They will suck our blood! They have long fangs and sharp claws! They can use us humans as food, and they will be with those It’s like a monster, it can eat us!” Ariel doesn’t mind such an argument, but she needs to shorten the time a little bit: “You should have seen our elemental guns. To tell you the truth, once a human used one The elemental gun almost killed three blood races. Remember, it was at night. And that human is just an ordinary person, the only difference from me is that he has been trained to shoot elemental guns. What do you think Who is more terrifying between us humans and blood races?"

As an alchemist, Thor was amazed by the design and structure of the elemental gun from the first time he came into contact with it.

At the same time, it is the lifelong pursuit of this alchemist not to use individual combat abilities, but to improve one's own combat effectiveness through various props.

From an emotional point of view, Thor certainly cannot deny his concerns about vampires.

But looking at it from a rational point of view, there is no doubt that he must admit that the power of the elemental gun has somewhat surpassed the traditional fighting method of sword and magic.It's also somewhat beyond the capabilities of those vampires...

At the moment, Thor stopped talking.

Seeing that the two elders finally couldn't refuse, Ariel continued to say——

"They established a basic base. Then my idea is, we will go to this base first, and then find a way to stabilize it. At least, let the imperial army dare not come to encircle us again."

Brad stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Okay President, let's go!"

And Bass next to him obviously thought a little more, and said: "Don't you dare to encircle us again? ... And then? Although Shannan Province, where our base is located, is a relatively northwest province, the Demon King's army continues to expand. We can’t keep our base.”

Ariel nodded and said: "Of course I know. So, our next goal is to wait until the Blue Bay Empire is completely hurt, contact this guy Chao Bilan, and find a way to form a joint army. Only in this way, we The winning rate can be slightly higher than that."

Everyone knew that if the mermaid army continued to fight alone, it would be impossible to confront the expansion of the Demon King's army head-on.

Moreover, the alliance with the empire is also a strategy that has been finalized early on.At the moment, everyone had no objections, and immediately got up, packed their luggage, and planned to set off for Shannan Province.

When everyone else left to prepare, Ariel turned around, threw away the branch in her hand, clapped her hands, looked at Granny Jian and Thor in front of her, and said——

"Then, my army is going to the base area. What I want to know more is, what do you brave islanders plan to do?"

Facing Ariel's question, Granny Jian thought for a moment, then turned her head to look at the helpless, sad, and confused islanders who got off the boat.

These people have worked hard for the title of brave until now.Each of them has a combat power far beyond that of their peers, and they are vigorous, brave and strong.

However, all of this is based on the premise that they believe that there will always be brave men who bring hope in the future.

Now, the basis of the hero's existence - the fairy in the lake has been taken away, and the two children seem to have been interrupted before they were officially recognized as the hero.In other words, no one can inherit the title of brave.

In such a situation, what should these people do?

Where should they go?What to do?Could it be that like other people who left the island, they chose to be an ordinary adventurer after erasing their memories?But after the previous battles, I believe everyone has seen it clearly. It is impossible for a single adventurer to be an opponent of the Warcraft army.

If you still follow the path of the previous adventurers, let alone hundreds of monsters rushing over, even the humans who can distribute tasks will be slaughtered, how can you rely on the weapons in your hands to support yourself?

For the islanders who have never learned anything other than fighting, what to do next is really an unanswerable question.

Seeing Granny Jian staring at her islanders with hesitation on her face, Ariel knew that she should be more generous now, so she stretched out her hand and said——

"If you don't mind, would you like to join my mermaid army?"



One thousand 560 four chapters seeker

Thor was the first to be stunned: "Join the mermaid army? Use your army to fight against the devil? This is impossible. The only one who can defeat the devil is the brave, and now the brave has..."

Ariel withdrew her hand and said, "Let's not talk about defeating the Demon King. There are so many of you, you must find a place to settle down now, right? So many of you have to eat and sleep, right? With your arithmetic level, I think I shouldn't expect you to be able to find any stable jobs in this war-torn era. Since you are also hiding and asylum, I really think our mermaid army is a good choice."

Ariel felt that her suggestion was acceptable. After all, the [-] or [-] islanders in front of them didn't have much experience living on the mainland.It's a good thing to have your own help here, right?

but……

"The brave no longer exists, and it is impossible for humans to defeat the devil."

Granny Jian's speech made Ariel feel that what she said before had completely turned into a bunch of nonsense.

The elder of the islanders folded his hands in front of his chest, with a slightly desperate expression on his face. After taking a deep breath, he continued to say——

"No matter how you struggle, human beings are now in despair. It is only a matter of time before the Demon King rules the entire human world and occupies the entire Golden Continent. Brave...the world must have a brave man to regain hope."

Gradually, Ariel's expression pulled down.She looked at the former brave man in front of her with some incomprehension, her eyes showed the most firm belief in failure.

It's ridiculous to say that a person should have such great confidence that he will fail?What kind of state of mind is this?

Thor on the side also seemed to be taken aback by Granny Jian's words, and wanted to say something, but couldn't say it.

Ariel shook her head and said, "Grandma Jian, I don't care how much you have no confidence in human beings, but you can't solve the problem by saying that..."

"No, I know exactly what the problem is."

Granny Jian raised her hand, and at this time her cuffs split open again, turning into a curved blade wrapped around her palm——

"You haven't experienced all this, you don't know how powerful the power you can get after becoming a brave man. Only after you really experience this power, you will know that compared with the brave man and the devil king, human beings are more powerful. How insignificant and ridiculous the power is."

Thor couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Grandma Jian, there's no need for us to say that—"

Granny Sword: "Thor, you are our best alchemist. But unfortunately, you are also the only one among the five of us who has not become a hero. So you simply cannot understand that only the brave can defeat the devil. Feeling. And all of us have experienced this feeling, so we are right. Now humans have been unable to defeat the Demon King, and there is no need to doubt this matter at all.”

Seeing the old lady's resolute appearance, Ariel could only breathe out, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Okay! Then, Grandma Jian. What are you going to do now? Now that the brave is gone, the Demon King I started targeting you too. Then what?"

Granny Jian looked away from the curved sword in her hand, and looked at Ariel in front of her again.After a moment of silence, she finally spoke——

"The fairy of the lake has been arrested and is very likely to be killed. Then, in order to allow the brave to appear in this world again, I will lead all of us to find a new fairy of the lake, and then restore the power of the brave. Born into this world."

Ariel was taken aback. To be honest, she was really surprised by what Grandma Jian said, and she was even so surprised that she was at a loss——

"This... is this really possible? New hero? Can you do it?"

Similarly, Thor is also stunned now, and his tongue is a little knotted: "The new fairy of the lake? The new brave?! Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

As soon as the new fairy in the lake was mentioned, the desperate expression on Granny Jian's face gradually dissipated, and turned into an expression full of firmness and conviction, and said: "This is a very old and ancient rumor. It is also me Occasionally, I saw records in some ancient books. It is said that the power of the first generation of heroes also came from the fairy in the lake, and there is not only one fairy in the lake. They are the crystallization that survived when the three guardians fought each other. It can be said that they are the attendants, servants, and even spokespersons of those guardians."

"The first generation of brave men found one of the attendants of the four guardians, that is, the fairy in the lake, and thus gained the power to fight against the devil. If this is the case, as long as we can find other attendants, the power of the brave will naturally be able to Come back."

Speaking of this, Granny Jian seemed to have finally confirmed her beliefs. She puffed her chest out, took a deep breath, looked at Ariel, and said, "So, I'm going to find a new fairy in the lake. Create new heroes. Therefore, we don’t have time to form a new rebel army with your playing house soldiers to fight against the devil. Before we find the new fairy of the lake and create new heroes, all of you The most appropriate thing to do is to find a place to hide well, and then pray that we can succeed as soon as possible."

This is... what arrogance.

Although Ariel did not express much dissatisfaction out of respect.But now, she could still see the arrogance that couldn't be concealed in the old lady's firm and shining eyes.

Before, Ariel thought that her understanding of these descendants of the brave had reached the limit, but she never thought that they could break through the bottom line of Ariel's understanding, and reached the point where they did not regard other human beings as human beings at all!

However, Ariel couldn't scold the other party at this time.

Anyway, the opponent is the producer of the heroes of the past dynasties, and the purpose of both parties is to deal with the devil, so there is really no need for a conflict here.

So, even though Ariel's fists are slightly clenched now, after a while, she still slowly loosened her fists, nodded slowly with a little helplessness and regret, and said——

"Looking for the legendary way to save mankind...Is it? In many epics and fairy tales, there are indeed such bridges. As long as someone or something can be found, a lot of people can be saved. All the problems are swept away like sweeping garbage. Well, maybe somewhere in this world really has such a method." Granny Jian didn't seem to understand the meaning of Ariel's words.Or, she heard it, but felt it was pointless to argue.

At that moment, the old woman nodded to Ariel and said, "Thank you for telling us what happened on the mainland. Then, let's part ways here. Please try to be careful and hide. From now on, our family calls ourselves As the 'seeker', the seeker will go to every corner of the Golden Continent, trying to find the next lake fairy as soon as possible, and bring a brave man who can seal the devil again."

After finishing speaking, Granny Jian turned around, walked towards the islanders over there without even the slightest nostalgia, and began to preach her theory of finding a savior to them.

And looking at those islanders, the only thing Ariel can do now is to take a breath, shake her head helplessly, turn around, and prepare to pack.

But at this moment...

"Ariel Garcia."

A person suddenly called Ariel's name behind her.

Ariel turned her head and saw the alchemist named Thor, who was holding the modified and foldable elemental gun in his hand, caressing the body of the gun carefully, silently looking over here...

----

On December 1307, 12, Shannan Province, Qiongshenshan area.

The snowflakes mixed with rain in the past few days have made this winter extremely cold. The road that was finally dug has become muddy again because of the snowflakes.

Different from the winter in the border provinces, the winter in Shannan Province seems to always be like this rain mixed with snowflakes in the sky. When walking on the road, the clothes will be soaked anytime and anywhere, but they can’t be dried for a long time. All kinds of things are in the rain and cold. It was frozen into a ball in the cold weather, and there was no way to continue to use it after sweeping away the snow like in the marginal province.

Now, in the depths of the mountains of Qiongshen Mountain, among the simple wooden houses, Tesla is frowning, with pain and helplessness written on his face.

"report!"

Not long after, a soldier opened the door and walked in——

"The heating firewood in Settlement No. [-] is exhausted, and there is a lot of firewood in Settlement No. [-], but they refuse to rent it!"

Tesla felt his head hurt, and waved his hand to let the other party leave first.But just after the soldier left in awe, another soldier ran in——

"Report! Three villagers in the village started a fight, and they all said that the supplies distributed to them by our mermaid army belonged to them!"

Before Tesla could speak, another soldier ran in: "Report! The village head of a nearby village asked if we couldn't pass the holy night festival this year? How? If not, can they go down the mountain to the area occupied by the imperial army to buy Holiday supplies?"

The successive inquiries finally drove Tesla crazy. He slammed the table, the veins on his head popped up, and shouted with a bit of a rogue attitude: "Okay! Why do you all ask me? I'm just a Assembler! What I am best at is assembling elemental machines, and then draw the design of new elemental machines! How do I know these things? Can’t you ask the elders of the blood race? Don’t they know how to do it better than me? Manage these things?"

The two soldiers seemed a little confused, but after glancing at each other, one of the mermaid soldiers murmured, "Anyway... those people are also vampires. We came to such a remote mountain village. Even if we tell the villagers that the blood race will not harm them, the villagers will still be afraid..."

Another soldier said: "Besides, due to the insufficient supply of blood sugar blocks, the emotions of the vampires are also a little unstable... Not only in the village, some soldiers even said that we are all the blood reserves of those vampires." Bags, if the supply of food is really insufficient in the end, we will be eaten by their blood."

In terms of form, Ariel certainly knew that after the blood race left the marginal provinces with sufficient supplies, they would fall into a situation of insufficient blood supply.In order to prevent the blood race from running out of food, Ariel decided to let the blood race stay in the base area to help build. On the one hand, she hopes to restore the supply as soon as possible, and on the other hand, she hopes to restrain this army with obvious advantages and disadvantages as much as possible. .

But for Tesla, his situation is not good.

Cheese and Mochi who came here with him are blood races. Of course, the two guild members of Mermaid Song are headed by Ariel, and they don't listen much to Tesla.And they also know that the supplies of the blood race are gradually becoming scarce, so they also migrate most of the blood race to deeper mountains, hoping to survive this difficult time by preying on the animals in the mountains.Therefore, except for Mochi, the other blood races who stayed in the camp were not there, and there was no way to deploy them.

Under such a scene, this winter seems to be extremely unpredictable. There are rumors that the sixth encirclement and suppression operation of the imperial army is also planned.

All kinds of problems made the assembler's head almost explode, making him wish countless times to go back to Marginal Province, back to Pelican City, back to the place that only belonged to him and a few small researchers. workshop.There, he only needs to draw design drawings, argue with researchers on various parameter issues, and finally use various mathematical calculations to silence one of them.Where do you need to consider so many messy things?

But now, he is the leader of this base.

No matter how reluctant he is, he must support this base to survive, and then prepare for a counterattack.

After venting for a while, Tesla finally lifted his head from the report data on the desktop, with a tired face and bloodshot eyes, and said, "Now let's see, what should we do?" .What...what is it about? Let's wait for other things first, didn't it say two days ago that the imperial army was preparing to siege us for the sixth time? How did they do it?"

A soldier hesitated for a moment, then said: "The general who encircled us for the sixth time was the lord of a nearby city. He recruited his own army and planned to attack us with annihilating style. Then, now that the Holy Night Festival is coming, They started distributing food to several nearby villages to help them survive the winter."

Snapped--!

Tesla slapped his hand heavily on the table, gritted his teeth and shouted——

"I didn't expect...I didn't expect the opponent this time to be so vicious! He actually distributed food to the villagers?! Is there a more vicious and cruel move in this world?!"

Two soldiers looked at the now irate leader, and one of them asked, "So... what should we do now?"

Although Tesla also wanted to distribute more food to those villagers, their own food was not very enough, and it was impossible to do better than that city lord.

Back then, it was Tesla's idea to decide to set up a base near here.The reason for setting up a base here is entirely because Tesla took a fancy to an undiscovered magic crystal mine nearby, which can be mined nearby by the elemental machine factory.
