Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Knight Ilovitz and Admiral Aharonov bowed together, retired together, and then left the Tower of Babel at the emperor's signal.

The two walked slowly down the tower, remaining silent. The knight's face was sad, while the old man's eyes were deep.

The strong wind beat against the tower, and if it were an ordinary tall tower, it would have started to sway. However, the Tower of Babel was extremely strong, as if it was rooted in the earth, without any tremors.

The two came to the bottom of the tower.

Under the Tower of Babel is an extremely flat rocky plain that has been tidied up. Teams of labor teams wearing simple clothes and tools are working here. Most of them are demonizers. Under the supervision of professional overseers, they are shackled and tiredly continue to level the surface, dig trenches, bury huge runic array components, and open up underground space.

That was the prototype of the Source Energy Factory, a partial structure of a giant industrial facility. It could be seen that the empire wanted to build an unimaginably huge artificial structure with the Tower of Babel as the center.

Its surface structure will cover most of the hilly area, and the center of the Montasini Mountains will be occupied, turning it into a prosperous fixed industrial city.

And the depths will go deep into the ground, digging out a huge cavity that looks like an underground mountain range.

Because they are all demonizers, most of them have some magic-like abilities, so the work speed of these laborers is not slow, it can even be said to be very fast; and professional supervisors from the military will also supervise these laborers at any time, using various spirits Spells and physical punishment are used as a deterrent, allowing them to exert one hundred and twenty percent of their energy.

Those who are not mentally strong will undergo brainwashing labor. Those with a firm spirit will be whipped and punished. Those who are so stubborn that brainwashing and punishment are useless, and those who don’t work hard will be killed.

Ilovitz witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

Several demonizers who were too tired to work were directly called to the guards to be taken away and 'buried' in a hole not far away just because they refuted the urging of several overseers.

And there were thousands of corpses piled up in the pit.

Actually, it's not just that.

The golden eyes of the gray-haired knight reflected the light and shadow of each soul when it left the body. They were freed from the suffering of the world. These souls that were filthy due to demonization should have slowly purified themselves between heaven and earth, and then returned to the earth. .

However, due to a mysterious guidance, the souls of all the executed demonizers flew towards the huge black tower behind them like moths to the flame.

Then, sink into it.

"...What exactly does Your Majesty want to do?"

Staring at a wisp of soul sinking into the tower, Iloviz took a deep breath, his tone was unbearable: "Even if they are all prisoners, criminals, and rebellious thugs... But even the souls after death... "

He said this, but before he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

"Why."

The white-haired general, who was slightly shorter than him but still tall, took out a pipe from his arms, rubbed it with his thumb and middle finger, and lit the tobacco. After Akharolov took a deep breath, he calmly said : "In the final analysis, they are all necessary sacrifices... Inhumanity is indeed inhumane, but there is no way."

"Don't worry, I know this kind of thing goes against your morality, so His Majesty and I have never asked you to do these things. Iloviz, you can just be your first knight and leave everything else to us. Bar."

Reaching out and patting the gray-haired man on the shoulder, the old general smiled, then raised his head and stared at the scene in front of him.

Under the guidance of overseers and source energy skills, demonizers work very quickly. After all, to a certain extent, they are all the most basic extraordinary beings, and their endurance and absolute abilities exceed those of mortals.

In this world, it is impossible to find tens of thousands of knights and let them work as hard labor and as the basic labor force; but it is still easy to find tens of thousands of demonizers with suitable abilities.

Even though the power of these demonizers is sometimes not as good as that of ordinary people after training, it is indeed more convenient than the physical body.

Seeing these whipped and brainwashed demonizers working day and night, Akharolov's eyes showed neither unbearability nor pleasure.

He just stared at it all calmly, and then slowly murmured to himself: "Capturing excess demonizers and using them for forced labor is a necessary law to maintain social stability... You and I have both seen the threat of demonizers. However, an ordinary woman whose demonic disease has progressed to the final stage can explode with the force of five heavily armed soldiers and massacre half a city block."

"They are inherently unstable elements, unless a strong person in the divine realm or even a great professional in the disaster realm personally suppresses them - but there are hundreds of millions of demonized people in this world, so how can there be so many strong people to protect them? "

At this point, the general of the Empire's Third Army became colder in tone: "Really excellent demonizers have long since become professionals and can self-suppress their illness - there are many of them in my army. That’s what officers are like.”

"As for ordinary demonizers, the empire has also arranged outer city areas for them to live. If it doesn't work, there are special demonizer villages. If you want to survive, you can always survive."

"Only those demons who are poor, lazy, and don't know how to work hard, who only know how to blame others and take revenge on society, will become criminals and be escorted here by us - they deserve it."

"No one deserves it." Iroviz said solemnly, but he knew that it was impossible to get an answer to this question, so he just sighed: "That's all, Your Majesty and you always have thousands of reasons, and I can't Even if I try to convince you, I don’t know what is right.”

"Demonizers are indeed potential threats...but they are originally innocent people and subjects of the empire."

"So it's just labor, not execution."

Akharonov said, he and Iloviz walked forward together, and said lightly: "Moreover, I am more concerned about your Majesty's current strength than trivial matters like the demonizer."

"Have you seen His Majesty's face? He is much younger. Who would have thought that His Majesty is older than you and me? Since forty-five years ago, he obtained the Holy Rock of the First Glory located in the ruins of Montasini. , His Majesty has found his own path and strength...comparable to the power of the ancient gods."

The admiral raised his head, turned around and looked at the huge tower towering into the clouds. The old man's voice sighed: "Look - such a magnificent tower, as if it is touching the holy sun... Such a huge tower, if it were not for Your Majesty, I would definitely Halfway through its establishment, it must have been shattered by a natural disaster.”

"In the face of His Majesty's power, the raging natural disasters are powerless...Ilovitz."

Having said this, he turned his head and looked at the knight beside him.

Akharonov said solemnly: "Your Majesty can become the sun that shines on all living beings. Compared with the near-end of darkness in the future, which is enough to destroy the empire and the end of the continent's death, these small evils are necessary now." .”

"……I know."

The gray-haired knight naturally knew what the other party meant, so he just let out a long sigh and then stopped talking.

And just then.

The holy sun in the sky suddenly dimmed for a moment.

Like a lightbulb with poor induction, or a boiler that did not burn fully for a while, the light of the holy sun dimmed for a brief moment before anyone could react, and then returned to brightness again.

"What?!"

The abnormality at this moment was naturally noticed by Ilovitz and Aharonov.

Both of them raised their heads and looked up at the sky in shock.

The holy day still releases its brilliance steadily, as always.

However, one could vaguely see a few flickering light spots, falling towards the earth with long trajectories.

…

Asmodei Empire, southern coastal corridor.

The Chuyao, whose outer armor has been renewed, is traveling at the speed of a normal moving merchant ship.

At this moment, the appearance of the Chuyao is completely different from the past. The outer armor that looked mottled and ancient due to history has now been covered with a layer of metal patterns that look like tree roots, and its appearance has changed drastically. , except for the front-end charging angle and armor, other areas have become seemingly different from the past.

This is Su Zhou's power - although Su Zhou is not afraid of the Asmodei Empire's pursuit, but with the children from the Xiguang Orphanage here, he doesn't want to cause more trouble, so he directly uses a layer of dark green The sacred wood outer armor covers the surface of the Chuyao ship and slightly changes the structure of the Chuyao ship in appearance.

Nowadays, apart from the novel pattern, the current Chuyao Ship looks like just a large commercial ship.

In this continent of Aian, although it is not common, it is not rare either. Any commercial mobile city will have seven or eight large commercial motherships under its command.

Now, Su Zhou is teaching all the children in the orphanage to learn the spiritual practice of 'Burning Fire 0.92 Beta'.

Most of the children in Xiguang Orphanage have mediocre talents and are considered average.

Even if Professor Sweetley has paid attention to education-related knowledge over the years, it cannot change a person's talent.

The good thing is that Su Zhou's practice has never paid attention to qualifications.

After all, most of Su Zhou's practices have no combat effectiveness - whether it is the Rotating Immortality Method or the Five Virtues Qilin Method, all of them can be practiced, but they can only be practiced, and they do not include combat, nor do they teach any other extraordinary aspects. Single practice.

It only focuses on the accumulation of spiritual energy, and has its own special effects: such as immortality, foundation building, soul purification...

The effect is simplified to such an extent that the natural practice itself becomes extremely simple.

"That's about it for today."

Putting away the textbooks in his hands and wiping the crystal whiteboard behind him, Su Zhou turned around and announced: "get out of class is over now - remember, everyone, don't run around in the ship, Sister Mingxiao will catch you all back."

"Children who run around and are caught are not allowed to eat meat tonight."

"Yes, Professor!"

Hearing the children's uniform answers, Su Zhou smiled - he did not expect that after coming to the dusk world, he actually became a kindergarten teacher.

Among the thirty-seven children, Gaza and Loya were the most talented. No wonder the original Professor Svitley took them to explore the ruins. This was obviously to cultivate them as academic heirs.

The next best thing is Seneca.

This boy with the blood of Medusa and Siren is the oldest and has a good personality and talent. Professor Sweetley also has high hopes for him. He hopes that he can become the new director of Xiguang Orphanage. , take care of the new generation of children after their own old age and death.

As for why Su Zhou was able to determine the talent of each child in such a short period of time, it was naturally because of the Book of Prajna.

After returning to the Chuyao Ship, Su Zhou used the Book of Prajna to scan everyone once.

It has to be said that Xiguang Orphanage is not a special place after all. The real serious future demon king-level figures, namely Gasa and Loya, and the lives and futures of everyone else are ordinary.

Moreover, all died due to the persecution of the demonizers by the Avender nobles after the death of Professor Svitley.

If Su Zhou didn't rush back in time this time, then all the orphanages would be captured by Count Ayvind. Some of them would be used as raw materials for energy experiments, some of them would be sent to hard labor, and some of them... would be satisfied. The bestiality of Lord Ayvind himself.

Indescribable.

To be honest, even just reading the words made Su Zhou furious. He couldn't help but want to go back to Ayvind and destroy the entire Earl's Mansion and the body of Earl Ayvind.

But thinking about it carefully, after the other party's soul and the fragments of the Twilight Dragon were eaten by him, everything was fine.

In addition, Su Zhou also used the Book of Prajna to scan Master Suiguang and Liming.

Master Suiguang did not lie. His past is exactly the same as what he said in the ruins. Both the original body and the machine body are idealists who also long for the world to become brighter and hope to use technology to help everyone. .

And he was supposed to die together with Yelena and Hader. Everyone died in the ruins of Chuyao and then were buried by natural disasters.

However, Mingxiao's analysis of the Book of Prajna made Su Zhou keenly grasp several pieces of useful information.

It can even be said to be a message of earth-shattering.

[Name: Dawn·Yinxi]

[Age: 87,162 years old]

[Talent: Limited]

[Race: Aian elf, artificial half-blood silver elf]

[Cultivation level: primary level of soul condensation/source energy furnace heart blessing state is heart light level]

Until here, everything has been normal - except that Mingxiao is actually over 80,000 years old, there is nothing special about it.

Even the historical information is exactly the same as what Mingxiao himself said - she is indeed an artificial half-goblin created by goblins, specifically used to test how the goblins can get rid of their source energy bodies when the Holy Sun is extinguished. test product.

She was originally unable to find the meaning of her existence, but in each era, she happened to meet a few people of this era who cared about her, and developed friendships with them.

In the beginning, Mingxiao just wanted to help these friends who were good to her, so she studied with them how to fight against the extinguishing of the Holy Sun and thought about countermeasures for the doomsday - she herself did not care whether she was alive or not.

But gradually, with the change of eras, Dawn's reasons for helping civilizations in other eras also gradually changed.

"Dawn...I hope you can survive."

"You are the silver fairy, the immortal spirit, you are the miracle that has existed since the ancient times of the gods... Dawn, please live with our memory."

"Live on, little goblin - ah, I forgot that you are bigger than my whole family put together...but in my eyes, you are still a little goblin."

"No matter what the world is, it's just you. I hope you can survive."

A word of trust.

A word of farewell.

From one era to the next, from entering the stasis field to exiting the stasis field, every sleep and awakening means the end of a generation, the demise of a civilization, and the existence of countless people is annihilated in the wind and turned into nothing. Meaningless dust.

Stay alive.

It's hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse.

She has a lifespan of 80,000 years and has experienced the dawn of four eras. She is like a living history book, recording the joys, sorrows and joys of every civilization in that era, and every move of everyone - there are too many things in her life. Many scenery and figures have passed away and will never return. Only she remembers the laughter and laughter that have been lost in time.

Her existence is a burden.

She didn't want to forget, nor did she want those gone phantoms to disappear completely, become meaningless, and turn into nothingness. So I want to live.

This is also the reason why after leaving the ruins at dawn, he directly cooperated with Su Zhou without saying a word.

Dawn's purpose is just to exist. Anyone who doesn't want to kill her and also wants to live is her natural ally.

After reading the analysis of Mingxiao's Book of Prajna, Su Zhou could better understand the true inner thoughts of this silver fairy who was usually relatively silent and had three things.

The Silver Fairy is an optimistic and optimistic person...or rather, fairies are a race that is optimistic and optimistic to the point of lacking a sense of integrity. They are also particularly forgetful, especially about things they don't like.

And a taciturn, calm and indifferent goblin is enough to show how many separations she has experienced.

The man couldn't help but sigh.

But what really made Su Zhou frown was the ending that was perfectly deduced by the other party.

[Perfect deduction (error): ...after the Northern Ionian exploration team self-destructed, they were still in the stasis field of the Chuyao exploration ship and did not wake up.

Because of natural disasters and the subsequent world turmoil, no exploration team came to dig out this ruins on the edge of the world, which lay dormant for three hundred and forty-nine years.

Finally, at the end of the Original Dark Age, the Thirteenth Sun Emperor Asmodai burned all things, causing the Holy Sun to fall and the Demonic Moon to dissipate in the 'Time of Nothingness', and died due to the turbulence of time and space caused by the collapse of the world of Aian. 】
