Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

As the center of the Northland, Maia City is bustling and bustling during the day. More than three million people live, work, and play in it. Whether they are ordinary tourists who come to enjoy the scenery of the Northland or rich people who come for the well-known local casinos, they are all here. You can find your own fun here. People walk leisurely on the streets, buy street snacks and desserts, and talk and laugh with family and friends. The large baths in Maia City are even more famous throughout the country, and famous people visit them from time to time. Scholars came to bathe and give lectures.

But once night comes, everything is completely different.

People with a dangerous aura replaced tourists and appeared on the dark streets. Most of them walked alone. Only some people wearing mage robes were in groups. These guys with unkind eyes and keeping away from others were obviously carrying... All kinds of prohibited weapons were used, but neither the patrolling guards nor passers-by pretended not to see them, and all stayed away.

Not only in the city, they are often seen in the satellite cities of Maia City and surrounding towns. In the wilderness, there will be huge sounds of magic and fighting, and they will fight if they disagree. Standard label for hazardous persons.

Although most people would go to fight outside the city to give face to the local Maier family, but every month there would be a few murderers fighting in the street and tearing down half of the street.

And this situation is all thanks to the legend of Dragon Ball.

It is said that the dragon ball can communicate with the ancestral dragon and realize all wishes. Even if it is not used as a material for making wishes, it is an extremely powerful magic prop in itself. After using the dragon ball to summon the powerful dragon and snake attributes, the holder of the dragon ball can obtain part of the dragon snake. The power - if the wish is successfully granted, then this power can remain in the blood forever and be passed down to benefit one's family.

With such great power, how could he not be tempted? Therefore, since a mysterious man with a dragon ball appeared on the border of Northland twelve years ago, restless extraordinary people from all over the world have gradually begun to gather here, including mercenaries, bounty hunters, and well-known... Magister, a great scholar renowned in the empire. Some of them have wishes that must be made to come true, or they are the ones that only the Dragon Balls can save, but some of them are just out of curiosity or for other purposes.

So, when night falls, it is the stage of the extraordinary. All parties who have not obtained the dragon ball use their own methods to try to find traces of the dragon ball.

And for various reasons, the lucky ones who already hold the Dragon Ball also walk at night, looking for their own kind, that is, their goals and enemies.

On the outskirts of Maia, a small town close to the woods, the heavily armed wandering magician Evelin hid her figure in the snow. Although the "Snow Concealment Technique" of ice magic is rare, it can be used in certain places. The environment is far more reliable than invisibility and virtual transformation.

And this female mage with long, messy hair and thick glasses is a Dragon Ball holder.

Although it sounds a bit unbelievable, Evelin has never had any wish that required making a wish to the Ancestral Dragon. As a graduate of the Imperial Mage Academy, her biggest wish in this life may be to bring the mentor who is full of practical combat into his life. Stepping on the soles of his feet to avenge the shame of failing the practical class and being expelled from the academy... But for this kind of thing, involving himself in such a battle for the Dragon Balls related to various dragons and demons is really a suicide act.

But life doesn't make sense.

As a pure academic mage, a theoretical person who was slow in fighting, Evelin got the dragon ball that was in a jewelry box when she was sorting out her grandmother's belongings in her hometown.

At that time, she had not yet figured out what the beads that looked like magic items were, so she tried to use a semi-autonomous magic circle to activate it remotely - there is a saying, who can guess that it looks ordinary? Is Wuqi’s magic bead the Dragon Ball? There are at least hundreds of thousands of magical instruments made into beads in this world. Who can guess?

In short, she summoned a terrifying dragon with snake hair from a distant world.

Different from the rather concrete impression in many people's minds, the dragon and snake are originally one body and were originally symbols of the feminine side of heaven and earth. The earth, rivers, sun, wind and clouds...these are the source and power of the dragon and snake.

The essence of the dragon was developed from the original snake. In the Kaaba Empire, which was founded on dragon beads and created by the ancestral dragon, the dragon and snake that are praised do not have specific images and specifications, but only related elements. , as long as it meets the conditions, any powerful dragon or snake can be called a divine dragon or a demon dragon, and then be praised and worshiped.

The giant monster with snake hair and body, strong scales and ferocious face calls itself 'Gorgon'. It is the descendant of Gaia, the mother goddess of the alien world. This monster was born by the mother goddess and used to fight against the gods. The giant spirit is naturally a standard type of dragon and snake, and surprisingly it is not a purely violent monster, but possesses considerable wisdom.

"Evelin, you are not good at fighting. Not to mention the gods and heroes in my world, you cannot even reach the passing mark of ordinary humans."

The tone of the virtual snake-haired monster was disdainful, but the content was unexpectedly earnest instruction: "You are not a character who is good at improvising on the spot, and encounters are particularly unfavorable to you, so if you want to win the final war, you either It's just a sneak attack, or a positional battle, or preparing a magic circle to hide, and I'll fight, as long as you promise not to die."

The summoned dragon requires a huge amount of magic power from the opponent to maintain its own manifestation. Most of this magic power is spent by the dragon beads, but the quality of the summoner itself is also very important.

Evelyn's conditions can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. In order to save magic power and hide his figure, Gorgon spent most of his time incarnate and stayed beside the wandering mage.

"Well, thank you." Evelin nodded slightly at the giant monster's suggestion, then adjusted her glasses.

Originally, after summoning Gorgon, she thought about handing the Dragon Ball to the empire officials. After all, who doesn't know how dangerous the Dragon Ball War is? For a trainee mage like me who is below the ordinary level, I am afraid that other dragons would die on the spot with just one look.

However, just because we are ordinary people, sometimes it is difficult to let go of this opportunity that comes from heaven.

A graduate of the Mage Academy, she is essentially no different from ordinary people, and her family background is only moderate. After losing the school's subsidy and subsequent advancement channels, there is no possibility of further progress in the extraordinary world.

Without the help of the Dragon Ball, I am afraid that Evelin would not be able to become an official mage in her lifetime. When the time comes, she will definitely be married off by her family and spend her whole life as a housewife.

When she thought of this, Evelin felt like her heart was twisting in a knife.

She loves magic, spells, and all the miracles she can create with her own hands. It is true that she is not good at fighting, but why can't she explore the mysteries of magic if she doesn't know how to fight? This is no longer the era of the Elf War twenty years ago. If she doesn't know how to fight, she can also become a magic engineer and contribute to the empire. Why can't she be given a chance?

Dragon Ball is an opportunity for those who are unwilling to change their destiny. Now, in the third year of holding the Dragon Ball, with the power brought by Gorgon, Evelin has gone from being a trainee mage to a high-level elite mage. In terms of paper strength, she is already stronger than her former teacher. Even more powerful - how can you let go of this kind of opportunity?

Even if she dies, she would rather die in this dream than live a life that has nothing to do with magic.

Now, knowing that all seven Dragon Ball holders have arrived in the North, Evelin plans to use her superb Snow Concealment Technique to investigate the area where the 'summoning response' was heard not long ago - that should be the last one. If you can find some clues about the place where a Dragon Ball holder summoned the dragon, you can get an advantage in future battles.

As for fighting... Thinking of this, Evelin adjusted her glasses. Although she is indeed not good at dealing with emergencies, the power she received from Gorgon makes her attacks almost impossible to dodge.

That's the ability that best suits her.

However, before Evelin arrived near the area where Su Zhou was originally summoned, several of her hairs suddenly moved on their own without wind, bending like small snakes and pointing to the high sky in the distance.

It can be seen that it is no longer hair, but real small snakes with fine scales - and now, these small snakes are squirming nervously, assuming a fighting posture, aiming at the high sky in front of them.

"I've been discovered."

Just because she is not good at fighting does not mean she is stupid, and her reaction time is slow, which does not mean she cannot even evade what she has prepared. The next moment, Evelin's body turned into a ball of disintegrating snow dust and cold wind, and dissipated. In the snow that never stops in the Northland day and night.

And just a moment later, a lightning-like linear stream of light tore through the dark night and the sky full of ice and snow, penetrated the atmosphere and cold wind, and directly bombarded the area where Evelin was.

Boom! A loud roar sounded, and the hot and blazing wind like the sun spread in all directions. All the snowflakes and snow within a few hundred meters quickly melted the formation and turned into clouds and mist that shot straight into the sky.

And after all the ice and snow melted, what could be seen remaining in place was a long arrow made of some kind of plant branches and feathers that had penetrated into the earth and stone that had turned into magma.

The material of the long arrow was amazingly tough, and there was no sign of being burned even in the thousand-degree lava. However, this incredibly powerful arrow did not hit its target. Evelin disappeared without a trace at this time. Even when looking at the Snow Hidden Technique before, the sneak attacker in the sky could not find any trace of the other party.

"Next time, remember not to act rashly."

At this moment, among the clouds, a young mountain hunter who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old had wings. He also came to explore the area where the last dragon was summoned. He hid himself in the thick snow clouds and only relied on his Observe the world with pure and powerful magic induction.

At this time, the hunter boy looked quite annoyed, blaming himself for not having hesitated for a moment just because his opponent was a human woman.

And beside him, there was a rather gentle spiritual voice entering his soul, teaching the young man: "The most important thing in the Dragon Ball War is the collection of intelligence. If you don't have the belief and determination to kill with one strike, don't expose your information. If you want to To achieve the final victory, the best way is to hide behind the scenes, observe everyone’s every move, design relevant tactics and plans, and then look for opportunities to hunt.”

"This time, you have exposed your powerful long-range attack capabilities. Everyone will be wary next time. Remember this lesson."

"I'm sorry..." Since he didn't kill the enemy, he could only leave immediately. The boy holding the bow immediately vibrated his wings and fled into the distance. During the flight, he was quite frustrated: "I practiced for so long and still messed up. ...I can easily fire my bow at monsters, but for some reason, I subconsciously hesitate when facing people..."

"There is no need to say sorry, after all, this is just a game to me, but to you, it is the future and life - and if you are not such a kind person, there is no way you can summon me. "

The gentle voice didn't care about this, and he smiled easily: "But remember, although you have never met them before, the moment you pick up the dragon ball, you are destined to be a life and death enemy."

For a moment, both the attacked party and the attacking party all fled away, leaving behind huge lava pits that rapidly turned black and cooled in the wind and snow.

And this is also the normal state of the Dragon Ball War - after all, there are six competitors, and each of them has the support of the mythical dragon and snake. Even if one opponent is killed with stronger hard power, the other five have already defeated them. The strong oriole, which he had analyzed by himself, was behind.

Of course, there may be divine dragons and demonic dragons who don't like to hide and will swagger out in battle and want to duel with other competitors head-on, but this is just a possibility. No matter what historical mythology, dragons and snakes do not have this attribute.

Not even Su Zhou would.

At this time, Su Zhou also noticed the huge explosions coming from the other side of the wilderness and around the area where he had arrived.

"Interesting, there's already a fight?"

Also possessing dragon blood, or in other words, he himself is a brand new dragon. Su Zhou can naturally sense the huge magical aura vaguely coming from the distance, which is not very similar to humans. He can be sure that whatever he did just now The attacking party or the attacked party are both competitors holding the Dragon Ball.

——It seems that you want to explore the magical aura left behind when I arrived? Or looking for clues? Fortunately, I was cautious and erased them all before leaving... However, since someone has started fighting, I must do something.

The Dragon Balls sense each other. If the Shenlong has not been summoned, they may not be able to sense it, but if the Shenlong has been summoned, then the sense will become stronger and stronger, especially if the seven Summoned Shenlongs When the dragon balls gather in one place, it is a symbol of the start of the 'wishing ceremony'.

From then on, the Dragon Ball holders can only stay in the area where they are gathered together. If they are together, they will interfere with each other and cannot be sure where they are. But if they leave, the whereabouts of the departed person is equivalent to monitoring other people. The disclosure of six competitors is basically suicide.

As the battle intensifies and the number of competitors decreases, the induction between the Dragon Balls will become stronger and stronger. When only the last two are left, basically any method of concealing their whereabouts will fail. Although if one party is invisible, it should be seen Missing or invisible, but the other party can at least know that the other party is here.

Su Zhou was very confident in his own strength, but he didn't want to be the one who got shot. Since someone had already taken action, he went over to take a look at the situation and see if he could be the one who was shot.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to Aura, who was repeating his previous teaching remarks in front of the campfire: "Girl, get ready to leave."

"——Our goal is to seize the dragon beads, not to kill people or kill dragons. If there is any problem, it is best to resolve it peacefully. Force is the last option. Don't kill people casually. This is not good..."

At this time, Aura was writing a new thinking logic according to Su Zhou's previous request. She repeated Su Zhou's words seriously: "It is wrong to kill people indiscriminately. This is not good, but if you are a villain, you must take the initiative. Go on a crusade."

Because Su Zhou had already given the order to set off, Aura quickly stood up and approached the young man.

She looked less than ten years old, but was actually only three days old. She was so petite that even when she stood up, she was not even as tall as Su Zhou's waist. When she obediently took Su Zhou's outstretched hand, Aura pointed out what Su Zhou had said before. The contradiction in the words: "Su Zhou, it is wrong to kill people indiscriminately, but you can kill evil people. These two codes of conduct conflict."

"Yes, you can point out contradictions, and you can teach me."

Su Zhou was quite satisfied with this. He was not afraid of asking questions, but he was afraid of not asking questions. He drove the Landun and took off with Aura, straight into the clouds from the wind and snow. During the flight, he continued what he had not finished before. Teaching: "Evil people are different from ordinary people. Evil people are special. They will pose a threat to others, so they will be punished and killed. - Ola, you must also remember that if you want to do evil, then you must do it. Be prepared to be punished, and vice versa, if you don’t want to be punished, then don’t do evil.”

"Actually, this is also a kind of fear - because I am afraid that I will be attacked and even die, I don't go against the majority of people and become part of the public."

"This is fear."

Nodding seriously, Aura summarized Su Zhou's words: "People unite together and become human beings because of fear."

Su Zhou nodded with satisfaction. Although the matter was not that simple, for an android with no common sense, understanding this step was enough.

"Absolutely, that's why I wanted to teach you what 'fear' is - only if you understand what fear and death are, can you know good and evil and the meaning of life.

And this is the foundation of humanity. As for the follow-up, Ola, you have learned to 'question' and 'inquire' without a teacher, so the next course will start in this aspect - I am not bragging, I am a real expert in this aspect. "

Su Zhou's teachings from scratch seemed to be quite effective now, but soon, the young man who noticed something in the air became serious.

"It seems that everyone wants to go together - there are many people around, and there seem to be a few Dragon Ball holders."

Looking down at the many spiritual light spots on the ground that were approaching the explosion area, representing extraordinary beings, Su Zhou thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and directly condensed a surrounding cloud.

"Stay here, I'll go check out the information. We may have a tentative fight, don't be afraid."

Of course, Aura would not be afraid. The white-haired girl just blinked and said calmly: "But you just taught me what fear is."

"Yes, I can apply what I have learned."

Su Zhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed. Then, without saying much, he drew out his World Tree spear, turned around and accelerated towards the front.

And there, there is an extremely large and conspicuous curse, but there is not much 'resentment', shining with an extremely clear light.
