The days of learning black magic in another world

Stoney shrugged: "It's okay, Hozia, everyone knows that no one can survive in the snowfield for half a month except the snowfield people."

Hosea: "Thank you for supporting my point as a native, Stony."

Riemann and the others soon knew why Xingxi Academy gave them temperature-controlled tents.

After setting off—that is, after teleporting from the teleportation array of Xingxi Academy to the teleportation array of a small town on the snowfield border, Bishop Bleminger, who led the team, announced that they were still about five days away from their destination. Five days plus the night rest time - because there is no teleportation array where they are going.

So this means that they have to fly during the day and rest at night-this is where the temperature-controlled tent is useful.

For a moment, Riemann thanked Moore for adding a constant temperature effect to his broom before they left, as well as the effect of blocking impact objects, which allowed him to survive in the cold wind mixed with snow flakes on the snowy field. down.

Reyna doesn't have a flying vehicle, so Stoney invites her to ride on a flying carpet.

At the end of the day, the five of them almost squeezed into the tent.

"Damn it, this task is really a pain. If I knew it, I would be a few days late to ascend the ring."

"Hozia, I want to open some. After a few days of hard work, the contribution points you get are enough for you to change a lot of clothes."

"Humph."

The tent is very large, about [-] square meters when it is fully unfolded. Riemann found a comfortable corner for himself and spread a blanket.

Stoney is greeting Lena and the newly joined water mage. As the captain, she has more responsibility to understand and care for the new team members than Hozia and Riemann.

"Is it the Stoney team?"

Riemann turned his head to look at the tent entrance in confusion, he just lay down in the blanket.

"Yes!" Stony replied, raising her voice a little.

Riemann felt that the voice from outside was familiar, but he didn't remember who it was until the other party entered the tent.

There was a circle of furry things on the shoulders of the person who came in. It was the cute snowy girl. Riemann still remembered her name... Junia?

"Hi... Junia, what can you do with us?"

Riemann got out of the blanket again.

"Ah, excuse me..." Junia apologized timidly.

Riemann waved his hand: "No, no, we haven't planned to rest yet. After all, uh... this season, the daytime in the snow field is obviously a bit too short."

Junia smiled shyly: "Yes, it's not a good time to come to the snow field, although it seems that there is never a good time to come to the snow field."

She went on to say: "Actually, I'm here to help inform everyone of the mission content."

Hosea raised his head: "How about a cup of hot tea?"

"Oh, thanks!"

In seconds, Junia went from standing timidly on the edge of the tent to sitting down on the blanket with a cup of hot tea in hand.

"Bishop Breminger asked us to inform everyone of the specific goals of this mission, tent by tent."

"Can I start from the beginning? About a month ago, the Holy See discovered traces of people living deep in the snow field, and more importantly, traces of spellcasting."

"After several rounds of investigations, they discovered that there is an isolated village in the extreme depths of the snow field, but this is not the point. The point is that almost everyone in this village knows magic, and there is more than one kind of magic. That is to say, they all know magic. It's the Forbidden Curse Mage, and the person in charge of the investigation came back without disturbing them, and then we set off."

"So, our mission is to wipe out the curse mages in an entire village?"

"Yes, the students leading the way do not participate in the battle except for the ice apprentices, so we can only help with trivial matters such as conveying."

"This is what the bishop asked us to inform everyone. There are 96 people in this village, about 50 of them are magic apprentices, 30 people have the first ring, three people have the second ring, and the rest do not have the ability to cast spells. Of course, the above information is not true. It is completely accurate, because the people who investigate can only observe from the outside, and it is also possible that some people simply do not cast spells instead of knowing how to cast spells."

"In addition, the interior of the village is a completely open structure, so everyone will only bump into everyone at once. The overall strategy set by Bishop Breaminger is that he enters alone first, attacks, and forces those second-ring magicians to do it. , so that other people with relatively low strength will be screened out, and you will join the battle."

"As for the combat modes of your teams, the bishop will not interfere."

"Then, the bishop asked us to ask you after the notification, if you have any comments or additional questions..." She took out a notebook as she spoke, "You know, Bishop Breminger wants to show that he is good at Be considerate."

Riemann frowned: "Wait a minute, if the task is to wipe out an entire village, wouldn't there be children in the village...?"

There was silence in the tent for a few seconds, and everyone except Riemann exchanged glances with each other.

Stoney took a deep breath and turned to Riemann, her eyes were sincere: "Riemann, I understand that you are... a kind person, but they are not children, they are forbidden curse mages, have you forgotten? Don't say forbidden Curse mages, even if they are wild mages, they are not like us, they are forced to accept the evil power in order to resist the abyss. From the very beginning, they were tempted by power and then fell, and the curse mages are the most greedy That group of people, no matter how pure white children are, will be no exception if they grow up in such an environment. Even if we let those children go, they will become evil in the future. At that time, the Holy See will allocate a little more power to hunt them down They, Riemann, you should understand that this is illogical."

Riemann: "But Junia said that this village is isolated from the world, and they may not even realize what a curse mage is."

Stoney: "This makes them even more pure evil. The abyss is not aware that it is an abyss when it is born, but it will instinctively kill and destroy."

Reina looked at him almost distressedly: "Oh Riemann, if you think about it again, you will know that cutting the weeds and roots is the most reasonable choice. I understand what you mean. You think the children are innocent, and even you think the village is innocent. They may all be innocent, but keeping the children will only leave seeds of hatred, and leaving the whole village behind will leave hidden dangers. They may suddenly come into contact with the outside world at any time, and then realize their identity and hatred for the Holy See .Even if the Holy See adopts a compromise approach and incorporates them, there is still a danger of rebellion at any time, and the danger level is not low, after all...they are Forbidden Curse Mage."

"This is even an optimistic speculation. To be honest, it is more likely that they were hunted down and chose to live in seclusion. Then the hatred for the Holy See will only be engraved in their blood forever, and they are only waiting for one day to counterattack , It’s a good thing that we now have the opportunity to eliminate this hidden danger when they are not prepared, so that we can reduce more casualties in the future, isn’t it?”

Hosea didn't have the soft words and patience of these two girls. He couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Oh my god, Riemann, I don't mean to offend, but your family education sounds like it really needs to be improved."

At this moment, Riemann knew that he could not convince them.

Stoney insisted on her justice - as long as it is evil, it must be destroyed.

And Lena also perfectly demonstrated the quality and overall situation that a princess should have - boring weakness is not appropriate, and leaving behind will only make the subsequent situation more complicated.

Hosea pointed out why their perspective was different from his.

Their decision can't even be called wrong, it can even be called wise, if you look at it from the perspective of the Holy See.

It was also at that moment that Riemann realized that he and them seemed very similar, but they were different people from the beginning.

Riemann doesn't think he is a good person. Look at the things he did after time travel. Most of the people who attacked him have gone to see the God of Light, even if they ignore this part of the crime. For half a year, let him say what he wants to say. Stony is more upright than him, and Reina is kinder than him.

But... let's think it's because he is a Forbidden Curse Mage himself, let's think it's because he has never had a real sense of belonging to Xingxi Academy or the Holy See.

He just can't...

He's done a lot of bad things, but this one is different, massacring an entire village without knowing it, it's totally different.

This is not even the same as those team missions, which can be said to be based on their own abilities, but this time things are completely different!

Riemann looked at the others, their faces were a little confused and worried about him, but more of them were pure confusion, Riemann swept across their faces.

Reina is brave and strong.

The girl in the snowfield is the cutest girl Riemann has ever seen after traveling. She is as innocent as the surrounding white snow.

Stoney is straight and forthright, always moving toward her justice.

Hosea has a bad temper but is not bad, and he is smart enough to support his bad temper.

They are fine, but they can still decide the life and death of dozens of (maybe) innocent people without caring, just because of different positions, because it is a normal and trivial thing for them, and this kind of thing is in the It happens every day around nobles like them, they are born to be taught to be chess players.

To put it further, when they take off their status as students of Xingxi Academy and simply become members of their own family, they don't care whether the slaves who work for them are willing to be slaves, because slaves are slaves, not the same as them people, just like they don't feel like they are human beings like the wild wizards.

In other words, even if they saw it, it was only with the pity of "poor subjects, if it were me, I would definitely become a better lord for you".

Their good character will not be discounted for this, but after all, it is only the goodness of the vested interests.

Xingxi Academy is like an illusory dream, and now it quickly takes off its dazzlingly beautiful veil in front of Riemann, revealing its majestic side.

Riemann really asked himself that he was not a good person, but he really couldn't do it just because the people in this village were magicians of forbidden curses and sentenced them to death for doing nothing.

It is because he is a Forbidden Curse Mage himself and is on the list that needs to be wiped out, so he has never had a sense of belonging.
