The Righteous Player(s)

"...You said, their leader is coming too?"

Nefertari raised his eyebrows and stopped his work.

She stretched out her hand and pressed a few times on the ceremonial disk burning with blue-violet flames, and put out the fire.

Looking back, the red-haired lady with pale skin was surprised to ask her tall childhood sweetheart: "When? What level of leader?"

In the beautiful flame-colored pupils, the endless flames throbbed.

That is the search for endless knowledge...or greed.

"I didn't ask, but it should be a senior member of the cult."

Niussel answered in a deep voice.

He shook his head and sat behind Nefertari, looking at the bookcase on the side with a sense of loss.

He whispered: "They are as you said... they are followers of light."

"What do you see?"

"Light."

Niussel replied: "They are not like us, they have light in their eyes, so they don't get lost...their light is in their hearts.

"The three children seem to be young. The eldest one is in his early twenties and less than thirty years old. The boy among them is still her own brother."

"...Brother?"

Nefertari was startled.

She was silent for a moment, and replied somewhat blankly: "I remember, the male heirs of the earthly world...should be the chief heirs of the family, right?"

"At least in Winter. The old nobility of the United Kingdom also had such a custom."

Niussel's heart is very heavy: "Her brother, has died in the spore mill for more than 30 times."

Hearing this, Nefertari's hand shook slightly invisibly.

Her lips moved slightly, and the word "idiot" was in her mouth, but she couldn't bear to spit it out.

She was silent for a while, or swallowed the words, and changed her statement: "It was their leader who ordered them to go to the spore colony mill to purify the nightmare?"

Supervisor Niussel nodded.

He added: "And their leader came here to purify the nightmare.

"I heard that group of children said...There should be a group of supporters after that. There are at least a hundred people who are all elites who are proficient in purifying nightmares."

"...I can't afford to pay so much."

"No, they didn't ask for money..."

"They didn't want it, but can I not give it?!"

Very rare, Nefertari yelled violently, "Whether it is their business or not, it is my business whether I give it or not!"

The two of them raised their heads at the same time and glanced at each other subconsciously, but after a short but unbearable silence, they quickly turned their eyes away.

"……Sorry."

Niussel spoke first.

His voice is gentle and honest, as frank and harmless as his appearance.

Nefertari sighed deeply and shook his head: "You are not wrong. I was so excited...

"That's what I think, Niursel. Listen to me. The hundred-odd people came to the underground world not just to purify the spore colony mill.

"They are supposed to throw light into the ground. Let us who live in the false light...understand the light that belongs to the'sun'.

"But, if they really purify the spore colony mill for us. Then I intend to give them a generous gift-they came to change the fate of our underground people, and gave us their lives and painstaking efforts without relatives and no reason.

"I don't care what the wise men and diggers in other cities will do, but I want to convince them... They come here, at least one city will welcome them, at least one city will recognize and remember their contributions. Their contributions It is not in vain.

"Those stupid and short-sighted mortals may not understand what they have changed. They don't care about nightmares, and they never care about the fate of every underground city that has been eroded by nightmares to the end... The space of the underground world is so huge that they no longer cherish it. all of these."

Nefertari stood up, put his hand on his chest, and his voice grew a little louder: "But I understand what this means! This is a country without a god. Although the underground world is vast, it is not infinite. It is everywhere, As our population gradually increases, one day... we will come to an end.

"But it's different now!

"I know what they paid! I understand more clearly that all the misfortunes we have experienced have nothing to do with them—"

——I even want to join them.

Nefertari's lips moved.

But she still didn't say this sentence.

She felt sad for her cowardice and cherishing her life.

She can accept that she died in search of the truth, and she can accept the end of her life for the sake of her friends-for example, Niusel.

However, for the sake of a lifetime that would never be possible to purify, hundreds of nightmares...Even if she died of struggle and sacrificed everything, she would just throw a stone into the sea.

——Insignificant, sacrifice that can't see the dawn.

It may even be that the speed at which she purifies the nightmare can't keep up with the birth of the nightmare... Even if she abandons her life, her relatives and friends, and the ideals she has held since her childhood, she can't do anything meaningful.

Just thinking about it made her feel terrified.

She is not afraid of sacrifice. Not afraid of death.

But she was afraid that her sacrifice had no meaning and nothing could be changed.

Just thinking about it almost made her cry.

"I understand, I understand."

Niussel intimately wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "You can't let the heroes bleed and shed tears. You mean that."

"...Yes, that's it. That's what I meant."

Nefertari cleverly stood in different places.

When Niussel handed her a handkerchief, he blew his nose gently.

Then he pursed his mouth, raised his head, and said seriously to the tall and strong brunette supervisor: "Niusel, our [digger]. The accumulator and guardian of wealth, the man who pioneered the city-

"I, [the wise man], Nefertari...According to the old rules, apply for a fund. It is used to entertain the leaders of [Secret Eye], build enough houses, buy enough food and water, and hire The servants and the followers of the light provide travel expenses and medicine...until their destination city is willing to pay all these funds. Moreover, after the spore colony mill is purified, I also want to give them in our name Give some gifts."

——The gift that can be given to the transcendent can only be a curse.

Nefertari knew that this was a lot of money.

Even if she took out all her private money, she couldn't cover it at all.

The scale of the underground city is much smaller than that of the city on the ground—because of the vast area and sparse population, the entire spore colony mill may not have 30,000 people. In the winter city directly above it, the population is more than ten times that of it.

You know, this is the Principality of Winter in the winter. Not to mention other places.

The tax levied from 30,000 people is barely used to support more than 100 people with the highest standards.

Plus "gifts" and travel expenses.

...Nefertari couldn't get the money at all.

But the "digger" is different.

Able to become a digger, usually in the exploration layer for more than ten years. A considerable amount of wealth has been accumulated...

But these wealth are only earned by their lives. Because diggers usually no longer dive into the exploration horizon, these wealth can only go out. After investing in an underground city and becoming a supervisor, the excavators usually try to control the outflow of funds as much as possible.

Although they are not smart people, they also know the truth about sitting and eating.

However, Niussel answered without hesitation:

"——I agree~www.wuxiaspot.com~ because he thinks so too.

"Don't worry, I still have the first right to discover two cities and a medicinal field," Niussel replied with a smile. "The annual dividends alone can provide for the daily consumption of the spore colony mill."

"...Then we will all become paupers."

"You will earn it again sooner or later. After all, you are very smart."

Niussel shrugged.

The two smiled at each other.

The two of them were not too surprised by the other's choice.

Rather, that's the way it is...They have known each other since childhood.

But, they haven't fallen in love yet.

……probably.
