Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

In the mist, I felt a fresh sea breeze.

In a daze, Sara woke up from a long nightmare.

Immediately afterwards, she quickly realized that the surroundings were no longer the dark and gloomy dungeons of Twilight City, and the air was no longer filled with the power of restraining magic that weakened the prisoners' physical strength.

"Where am I?"

The girl blinked in confusion, and then she saw the source of the fresh sea breeze - the endless blue sea of ​​joy.

The sea water was churning with waves and the sound of tidal waves made her wake up quickly.

"Wait a minute, wasn't it that I was caught by the people of fire, imprisoned, and then about to be tried?"

"Why do I appear at the beach? Could it be that this is paradise? Am I already dead?"

Although he woke up, it brought greater confusion.

Sara is not a girl who knows nothing about the world. She has been living on the sea with her tribe. She knows very well that her tribe living on the sea and the people of fire and wind living on the earth are enemies of each other. Hostile.

Now that he has been caught, even if he is not a pirate, he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being judged.

What's more, Sara still remembered that before she fell into coma, she was about to be taken to trial and executed.

If this is the case, is this the kingdom of the God of Wind? Could it be said... that they who have abandoned the path of the God of Wind can also be accepted by God?

Thinking about this in confusion, the girl from the People of the Wind turned her eyes and saw a gray-haired priest on the beach not far away, following a black-haired young man, who seemed to be walking. What to communicate.

The gray-haired priest was tall and had a heavy iron book hanging on his waist. His face was a bit old, but his eyes were full of energy.

And because the black-haired young man had his back to this side, he couldn't see his face clearly. He could only sense a solemn and majestic aura... But with just such a silhouette, his presence transcended the entire ocean, as if he himself It's the center of the world.

——Who are they and why are they here?

The people of the wind may be inferior to the people of the fire in terms of dexterity, but in terms of basic vision and hearing, they are far superior.

Sarah, who was a little palpitating and uneasy, and didn't know what the situation was now, listened slightly and heard the sound of conversation between them.

"Amon, why can't God's power extend to the sea?"

This is the voice of the black-haired young man. This voice is sacred, as if it does not come from this world, but comes to the present world across a long distance. His tone is indifferent: "And what on earth do those guys who live in the sea do? What's going on?"

——People of the sea? Could it be that it is a topic related to myself? !

Suddenly, Sara held her voice and held her breath. She closed her eyes, pretending that she was still unconscious, and calmed down to listen.

"My lord, I actually don't know much about pirates."

Standing on the edge of the beach with Su Zhou, watching the ebb and flow of the tide, Aimeng looked at the looming shadow of the island at the end of the sea level in the distance, and said in a solemn tone: "But at least one thing, there is no doubt."

"That is the origin of all pirates, from a 'rebellion' more than a hundred years ago. A rebellion that took place in the Central Temple and spread to the entire Kingdom of Holy Fire - and at that time, you launched an unprecedented The powerful divine punishment killed many rebels."

"However, there are still some rebels who survived. They fled to the sea, and for some reason, your punishment was stopped when they left the mainland. These survivors wandered and multiplied on the island, and then evolved into what they are today across the seven seas. of many pirates.”

"What kind of rebellion is this?"

"...I'm sorry, my lord, that is information that at least the senior Chosen Priests and the Blessed Ones can get. I don't have enough authority to know."

Ammon shook his head slightly. He recalled the pirates who attacked the temple of Sunset City a few months ago and took away the fragments of the Soul of Source Water. His voice couldn't help but bring out a hint of disgust: "But no matter what, those who live on the sea Human beings are all lawless people who despise the law."

"They don't understand love and friendship, family affection and morality. They only know how to plunder, kill, do whatever they want, and..."

"Nonsense!"

A clear, slightly annoyed female voice sounded.

Suddenly, Aimeng turned sideways in surprise and looked behind him.

Su Zhou, who had long known that the other party had woken up, also turned his head with interest and stared in the direction of the girl from the People of the Wind.

"We, the people of the sea, are not monsters who only know how to plunder and kill, but don't know anything about family and friendship!"

It can be seen that the girl from the People of the Wind has stood up, and the wings behind her that simulate long hair are shaking slightly, as if the long hair is automatically moving without wind.

Faced with the slander against herself and her family, out of a moment of anger, she couldn't help but stand up and loudly rebuked the gray-haired priest for his slander: "We just live on an island, we don't rely on the Lord and live independently - again. Not all of us are those crazy pirates, don’t confuse us with them!”

But soon, after saying this, her body stiffened, and she realized the stupidity of her behavior. Suddenly, Sara squatted down again, holding her head in her hands, trembling.

——Oops, oops! One of these two people is a priest, and the other, although I don’t know his identity, looks very strong, and the priest also treats him with respect...

Me, am I going to die?

However, after a brief silence, Sara did not receive the rebuke and attack she imagined.

"Then can you tell me?"

Su Zhou turned around and asked the frightened girl from the Wind People in a calm tone: "Tell me the specific situation of the sea residents."

Grand and majestic.

When being stared at by those blue-purple dragon eyes, Sarah, who was trembling, felt as if she was being stared at by the overlord of the frightened sea, a sea demon whale that could rival several chosen ones.

No, it is a hundred times more powerful than the Sea Demon Whale!

However, there was surprisingly no sense of oppression.

It's like facing the sea, facing the sky, facing the endless starry sky above your head in the dark night - although you are small, you don't have to worry about it hurting you when you look up at it.

For a moment, looking at Su Zhou, although Sarah forgot her fear and fear, she also forgot to reply.

It wasn't until the gray-haired priest on the side coughed slightly and gave a warning that she came back to her senses, lowered her head and murmured: "Okay, okay."

after a while.

"Two adults, we, the people of the sea, do not have a very good relationship with those pirates."

Surrounding Sunset City, along the coast of Caiyue Sea.

On the coast, at a bonfire, a girl from the People of the Wind, who had not eaten for a long time, took a skewer of grilled fish from the hands of a helpless Ammon, and then opened her mouth to bite it eagerly, regardless of whether it was hot or not.

It can be seen that Sarah's mouth is full of fine, sharp, extremely hard teeth - this is a characteristic of the people of the wind with strong blood.

One bite, including the fish bones, was broken into pieces. The hungry girl took a big bite of the fish and swallowed it in her belly. Then she spoke with satisfaction and continued: "Although some people in our tribe will indeed choose to join the pirates, most people will choose to join the pirates." Part of the time, we actually live on our own islands and don't interfere with them."

"Of course, they have always wanted to rob us, but who said we live in a remote place and are not weak in strength? What's more, there are very dangerous sea beasts wandering around, and those pirates will not risk it if necessary. The risk of shipwreck is gone, after all, the islands they occupy are self-sufficient, and there is no reason to fight us."

"Is that so? It turns out that there are not only pirates on the sea, but also you 'people of the sea'?"

Sitting in front of Sara, Su Zhou, who already had a general understanding of her situation, looked at the girl from the People of the Wind in front of her with interest, who was quite cheerful, talkative, and had a good attitude. He was sitting on a rock with no expression on his face. "And it sounds like your tribe didn't come from the Holy Fire Continent in the past, but from the New Continent, the real people of the wind?"

This was not Su Zhou's random speculation, but in his eyes, Sarah did give him the same feeling as the God of Wind in the past.

For example, Sara's hair and tiara, although they look like real hair, are actually a mimicry of her wings.

The ornament that looks like a belt surrounding the girl's abdomen is actually a mimic of the other's second opponent.

Although Sara is still far from being like the God of Wind in the past, where even her clothes are simulated by exoskeleton armor, at least the appearance and form that are similar to human beings are indeed the result of simulation.

"Yes, sir, we are indeed from the Continent of Wind."

In this regard, Sara simply admitted Su Zhou's guess: "On our side, you are the ones in the Old Continent."

"Then why did you turn your back on the Lord of Wind, leave the mainland, and go to the sea?"

"this……"

Sensing that Sarah was hesitant and cast a somewhat fearful look at Ammon, Su Zhou stretched out his hand and waved: "It's okay, I don't mind."

"...The Lord doesn't mind, and I have no reason to mind." The gray-haired priest shook his head slightly and said.

Although he was still a little awkward in his heart, since God didn't care, what else could he say?

"Then, I said..."

After confirming that the attitudes of Su Zhou and Ammon were indeed unlike those of other people of fire and wind, Sarah calmed down and said briefly: "Because there is no freedom."

“Under the Lord we have no freedom.”

Starting with such a sentence, Sara took a breath, and then began a brief but concise narrative.

The situation regarding the People of the Wind and the New World is much simpler than Su Zhou imagined.

According to the Book of Separation in the Doctrine of the Faith, in the past, after the God of Wind, Su Zhou and Elias created the new era, he re-upgraded a group of wind people, namely insect people, to live with them. .

However, after Su Zhou left, because the living habits of bugs and humans did conflict, in order to avoid conflicts between the two parties and destroy the hard-won peace, the God of Wind and Elias worked together to separate the ocean and destroy most of the oceans. Some of the people of the wind moved away to the New World.

This is the process of separation between the people of wind and fire - and the various stories that happened in it, as well as the relationship between the gods, are collectively called "the story of separation".

But unlike humans, bug-men evolved from insects after all. The social clusters of the people of wind are very different from those of the people of fire.

"Each tribe can only do the same kind of work. We divide labor among each other and form the entire society of the people of the wind."

After chewing up all the fish bones and eating them up, Sarah, who had regained some strength, sat in front of the campfire. She put her hands on her chin and stared at the dancing flames in front of her eyes.

The girl from the People of the Wind seemed to be recalling the inherited memories in her bloodline. She thought and recounted seriously: "Spider Man can only sew, Armor Man can only work, Ant Man can do nothing except farming, and A bee person like me wants to be a flower farmer collecting honey for the rest of his life."

"Even those tribes responsible for exploring the New World can only explore the continent for a lifetime. Everyone has a corresponding work schedule as soon as they are born, and it will not change."

She raised her head and looked at the sky, which had dimmed at this time, and the sunset and starlight began to appear. Sarah murmured: "Although those jobs are the most suitable for us, after all, we are wise and alive. People will always be dissatisfied - occasionally Ant-Man wants to explore the frontier, and occasionally Bee-Man wants to engage in art, is it not surprising?"

Speaking of this, this girl from the Wind People, who looked like she was only in her early teens, but actually didn't know how old she was, showed an expression that was almost frightened. She looked at the bonfire and her eyes became misty, and she murmured He murmured to himself: "But the Lord, the Lord has integrated into our souls. The Lord has become a bridge to communicate with our major insect tribes, a 'network consciousness' that connects all of us insect tribes."

"Through this network, the minds of all insect people are gradually integrated. Our minds and other people's minds are gradually synchronized and shared, and we can know each other's joys, anger, sorrows and joys... But that feeling, that feeling of being together The feeling of dripping water merging into a sea made my ancestors shudder.”

Hearing this, Aimeng didn't feel anything yet, but Su Zhou frowned.

——Swarm consciousness?

He thought of the Heavenly Demon he had seen on Qingqiu Star not long ago, and the great existence behind the Heavenly Demon, ‘Destiny’.

——Whether it is the religious covenant that binds the people, or this group consciousness, they are all civilizations and life forms that are destined to be optimistic... Both Elias and the God of Wind have adopted this method to lead their people. Could it be said that they are secretly , are they all affected by fate?

All of this was just speculation. The thoughts in his mind flashed away. Su Zhou calmed down and continued to listen to Sarah's story.

The girl from the People of the Wind did not notice that Su Zhou was distracted for a moment. Her expression was filled with a hint of fear and confusion as she narrated the memory in her bloodline: "We know that the Lord loves us and wants us to care for each other. He wants us to Be the best, and the jobs assigned according to each person's talent are naturally the most suitable for us. Free choice is obviously not the best choice."

Sighing softly, Sara raised her head. She looked at Su Zhou and Aimeng, with some fear in her inherited memory still remaining in her eyes: "But neither my ancestors nor I can accept that kind of life - —So my ancestors left the Continent of Wind, headed for the sea, and engraved this memory firmly in our blood."

“In this way, we can break away from the network created by the Lord and be free to choose the way we live!”

After finishing her words, after a pause, Sara turned her head and looked at Ammon, who was frowning. She waved her hand and emphasized: "Your Excellency, I know that you have a huge misunderstanding of us people of the sea, but you have to know, We are different from pirates, we only pursue freedom, but we never hinder other people’s freedom!”

"And those pirates are the thugs who like to hinder other people's freedom!"

"Well, now I know, Miss Sarah."

After hearing all this, Aimeng nodded somewhat heavily.

If it was really for this reason that he left the mainland, he would actually have some agreement in his heart.

After all, although the people of fire have many religious covenants, they have never restricted 'who should do what'.

"Could it be that the Lord of Wind did something wrong?"

In fact, in Ammon's mind, he even had such an idea that was considered treasonous in the past: "At least according to Sarah, their choice is not considered a 'sin', it can even be said to be an act worthy of encouragement."

"Then why, before I met the Lord, I didn't have the slightest desire to understand the thoughts of the people of the sea. Instead, I just felt pure disgust. No matter what they said, I didn't believe it?"

Ever since he chose to follow Su Zhou, the gray-haired priest found that he had a faint doubt in his heart about all the oaths and creeds in the religious covenant.

It was not a question, but after Ammon learned that ‘Gods can also make mistakes’, he understood that since Gods can make mistakes, people must also make mistakes and have misunderstandings and prejudices.

The prejudices among the people of fire have long since disappeared due to the constraints of religious covenants, but no one has ever corrected their prejudices against the people of the sea - most people have never seen pirates in their lives, let alone personally Having lived in the sea, but being able to criticize the other party's lifestyle and morals, this idea is indeed strange to say the least.

Although Ammon still doesn't fully believe what Sarah said, what Sarah said is indeed logical, and the Lord has no doubts, which proves that the other party is not lying...then there is nothing wrong with believing it.

At this time, Su Zhou, who was relieved of his thoughts, nodded slightly - he was sure that Sara was indeed telling the truth.

The bloodline memory of the people of the wind is like the bloodline inheritance of the Xiandao family. It records what the ancestors who left this memory really saw and heard. It is almost impossible to be false, and even the unthinking mind can determine this. a little.

Moreover, both the living conditions of the people of the wind and the reasons for Sara and her family’s rebellion are very real.

"I see. Is this the order chosen by the God of Wind?"

The young man thought of this, and then he couldn't help but sigh: "Swarm will, or, in other words, a collection of spiritual networks. Coupled with the division of labor in the population, it has been like this for generations. It is indeed a way of life suitable for insect colony civilization."

Insects are indeed a large race with extreme differentiation in their respective strengths. It is indeed naturally efficient for a group to do one kind of work - just like letting ants dig holes, bees building nests, and dragonflies exploring. Spider sewing...what's weird about that?

Instead, let ants fly, dragonflies spin silk, and bees dig holes to grow mushrooms. This is abnormal.

But it's also normal to want the freedom to choose the job you want, rather than the job you're good at.

"I see, this is the 'freedom to choose the wrong'..."

But in a sense, for the insect people and the civilization of the people of the wind, this is also an evil. After all, if all the bugs ignore their natural talents and do other jobs indiscriminately, then the bug civilization will undoubtedly be in chaos.

‘The freedom to choose evil’.

Although he had already thought about it in his heart, Sara's words did make Su Zhou understand better. A long time ago, in the world of reincarnation, after he killed the God of Water, Yara said to him, the kind of "choosing evil" 'What's going on with freedom'.

Those are all part of the truth, but they are not completely correct.

——If this is evil, then as the Demon Devouring Lord, I am not willing to be hostile to it.

Feeling something in his heart, Su Zhou's soul, the purple 'Heavenly Soul' that condensed all his magical powers, began to tremble slightly.

Like a dragon ball, the 'Heavenly Soul Karma Position' that shines brightly in Su Zhou's soul space is like a star, constantly emitting streams of spiritual light like a corona, illuminating everything. of darkness.

At the core of the magical power entwined with countless runes, brand-new things are beginning to emerge.

And a kind of enlightenment was born in the hearts of young people.

"The nature of the demon-devouring Lord's magical powers has begun to fail to keep up with my needs."

"It needs to be elevated."

Yesterday I revised the detailed outline of the follow-up. I'm sorry for the late update.

There is another update today.
