Chapter 18 Take the lead (4400, second shift, ask for a monthly pass~)

“…… Mikhail. ”

Accepting this soul message, Su Sun calmed down, closed his eyes, and concentrated on analyzing the messages that Mikhail wanted to convey to himself.

It was a long time before he opened his eyes, his brow furrowed.

"I see-the second prince and Leviathan, Matwei and Ying Long, these two groups of people are actually a family? I said that when the second prince was suspected of death, why was that guy the first to speak and guide the situation. ”

"The side of Lord Maia who summoned me, if nothing happens to me, should also be on their side. Moreover, it is said that there is a fourth person's Dragon Ball, which was also given by the second prince in secret...... It is normal to speculate that it could not be the Vika priest of the church, it should be that Gorgon. ”

In this way, before the Dragon Ball War has even begun, there are four Dragon Balls belonging to one side...... As for why they are separated, it should be that each person can only sign a contract with one divine dragon, and when the four dragon balls are gathered, it is estimated that there will be some conspicuous vision.

At this time, Su Yan had already accepted all the large messages that Mikhail wanted to convey before he died.

At the same time, he also made the news of Mikhail's death official: "It's a pity, I thought that the defeat of Jörmungad would be enough, and this kind of guy with strong convictions could go to the end...... I didn't expect that. ”

Because of this information, Su Day's mood became quite subtle.

"Mikhail's wish is to destroy the entire old world, so he summoned Jörmungard, who destroyed the old world."

Counting the information of the currently known Dragon Ball holders in his heart, he began to interpret the relationship between the summoner and the divine dragon: "And the second prince Kumor's wish is to unite the will of the entire country and make the empire greatest again, so he summoned the giant beast 'Leviathan', which represents the will of the country. ”

"My words, because the summoner is an ignorant little guy like Ora, so he was directly inserted from the other world - and the original summoner, Lord Maia, his desire is also to destroy the old world and become the new emperor himself, so he summoned Nidhogg, who also caused the destruction of the old world......"

"If you don't have any other words, Quetzalcoatl, you can also explain the innocence of a hunter boy - he didn't want to kill people at all, so he summoned the highest and kindest Quetzalcoatl God, but in the same way, such a powerful divine dragon was the first to quit because of 'goodness'."

"But in this case, why is that Matvey priest Ying Long? Are there any corresponding legends about Ying Long? Why did He answer Matveil's call? ”

I was quite puzzled in my heart, but what worried Su Yan even more was another fact.

"Quetzalcoatl is dead, I have no combat power for the time being, Jörmungard has just been defeated, so in this way, there are only two sides left, Gorgon and Fafnir - even if it is two against two, I don't think they can defeat the second prince and Matvey who have been prepared for a long time."

"What's more, both of them are likely to fight and end up being picked up by others."

Thinking of this, the young man raised his head and looked solemn: "This Dragon Ball war is dangerous." ”

And just as Su Sun finished thinking about the current situation, Aura had already reached the edge of the Northland wilderness.

Here, you can already clearly see the rolling Kobol Mountains not far away, which are covered in endless frost.

The poisonous gas of dead silence was spreading in it, and the corpse of Jörmungard, comparable to the mountain, was looming in it, and the dark dead gas was spreading in it.

They have arrived at their destination.

Meanwhile.

The main city of Maia, inside the Temple of the Dragon of the Ancestors.

The young priest with dark green eyes, sitting in the front row of the empty temple hall, with shoulder-length white and blond hair, was staring at the pocket watch in his palm with a gentle smile.

It was an unremarkable, old pocket watch with a hint of emerald patina, and it had a yellowed photograph embedded in it.

This is a family portrait of a young man and a woman, a man and a woman, and two children about five or six years old.

"Twenty Years ......"

Staring at this photo, Priest Vika closed his pocket watch, his eyes moved slightly, and he sighed lightly: "It's been so long...... But everything is as if it were yesterday. ”

Twenty years ago, in the south of the Kirpa Empire, the Elven War had reached its end.

In the face of the imperial army that had burned almost the entire Silent Forest to ashes, the Elven Court, which had lost all resistance ability, completely abandoned its homeland and moved eastward to the colder Frostwhispering Mountains and the Lilda Mountains, while a small number of elves continued to cross eastward into the sea to the Endless Islands.

It was a victory—it had taken nearly a decade for the Empire to finally drive the elves out completely, and it was able to tap into the incredible amount of super-large veins of magical energy that the Empire could use for more than five hundred years.

But before the southern lords could celebrate this great victory, which was not easy, the elves' revenge followed.

Whether it is the countless mutated insects full of diseases and curses, or the great druids who continue to sneak into the city and launch the dark green plague, whether it is the raging locust plague that can sweep through most of the empire, or the cursed natural magic that can wipe out the entire southern farmland, all the vicious methods that the ancient elves have never thought about or even experimented with have been developed by the elves during this decade of war.

And then, at the moment when they were driven away in humiliation, it was all used on the enemy.

To be honest, even though he said 'it was like yesterday', Vika doesn't remember that time very clearly.

The only thing he could remember was the dark green devouring mold that spread rapidly through the city, all the wood where the spores passed, and the poisonous gas that emanated from the strange plants that looked like moss and mushrooms, flooding the city.

This is the Scourge of the Deep Green, a great magic that the elven Grand Druid can use as a sacrifice for himself, enough to completely destroy a city.

On the day of the complete defeat of the elves, a total of six great druids entered the sixteen great cities of the south, and no one knew how they came to be, perhaps teleportation, or rats or mosquitoes, they had always been good at this kind of thing, and no one could really stop a transcendent who had put all his mind to it.

Then, in unison, they unleashed their most powerful means of destruction, destroying six of the most elite cities in the southern part of the empire.

and, more than 10 million people.

It's also funny to say that these six cities also happen to be the ones with the most conscription and the highest mortality rate, if these cities still exist after the war, then the empire may really be dragged down by these areas that have been completely eroded - the behavior of the great druids is to reset everything to zero, and things are much easier, whether it is pensions or subsequent policy compensation, everything disappears, which makes them breathe a sigh of relief.

However, not all of those six cities died.

There are always some lucky people who survive unfortunately or unfortunately.

Vika is the survivor of this devastating destruction and the only survivor of that happy family.

But seriously, it's not a revenge story.

To say something not very nice, if it weren't for the photos, Vika felt that he would have forgotten the faces of his parents and his sister a long time ago, and hatred was such a thing, he was still young at the time, even if he chewed it repeatedly, he couldn't taste the unforgettable hatred from the already very weak feelings.

Adopted by the Temple, he was sent to the Northlands, mainly because the upper echelons believed that the Northlands for more than six months in winter would keep Vika from seeing the green as much as possible, reminding him of the hellish green frenzy.

But, in reality, Vika never cared about that.

All he had in his mind was peace.

"Whether it is a battle or a war, it is the most terrifying thing in this world, intelligent beings can always use all their wisdom on how to destroy other lives more efficiently, and war is the cause of this wisdom fermentation."

"Now, war can't destroy all life in this world, but soon, with the advancement of technology, this kind of thing will always happen, with more powerful magic, more powerful magical creations, more powerful weapons will appear, weapons or magic that can kill all life in the world will appear, and then, the world will be only one step away from being destroyed and reshaped by the ancestors."

Putting the pocket watch in his bosom, Vika looked up at the temple's stained-glass dome and said in a leisurely tone: "Life can only continue if we give up the fight and keep the peace." ”

"Fafnir, my purpose is not actually to seize the Dragon Ball, the order given to me by the church is to hope that if the Dragon Ball War breaks out, then I will try my best to protect my Dragon Ball from being taken by others - just like the dragon guarding the treasure, theoretically as long as I lie on the ground and do not move, I can achieve victory, the former is to protect the treasure, and my purpose is to organize others to succeed."

"I don't mind."

Hearing this, in the spirit world, a cold snort came from Vika's ears, I don't know whether he was dissatisfied with this description, or if he thought this idea was ridiculous, the voice of the evil dragon Fafnir carried a hint of mocking rationality: "But Vika, you also want to change the world, otherwise, how could you fight Jörmungard and Candlelight for a dragon ball that doesn't matter?" ”

It knows the names of its enemies very well, Vika has told it all the legends and characteristics of its enemies, as well as some of its combat abilities, and even the Dragon Ball itself will have some information of its own, so as to avoid being killed by ordinary people who are accidentally involved without figuring out anything.

"yes."

In response to Fafnir's questioning, Vika simply admitted it, and the priest's dark green eyes drooped and looked at the ground: "The teacher has told me that if the Dragon Ball War is held, then until the reinforcements arrive, I should stick to the temple - but as you can see, I really can't hold back, I can't help but go out and fight with other dragons - I also have a desire, so I am willing to fight." ”

"And my wish is to eradicate all wars in this world."

With that, Vika looked up again.

In the eyes of the priests, who should have been symbolized by love and peace, there was a fire that quietly ignited.

- no more slaughter, no more struggle, no more death, no more suspicion...... Life will use all its wisdom and love for each other, and it is this kind of heaven that he wants.

"The Church always says that we are all children of the dragon of the first father, and that we can live together peacefully, and use time and practical actions to dissolve hatred and usher in the ultimate peace."

Step by step towards the altar, where the statue of the Three Dragons of Heaven and Earth and Life was inscribed, Vika slowly swept past the Twin Dragons of Heaven and Earth, and then stood in front of the Dragon of Life, the father of all races, and muttered softly, "But I don't believe it. ”

"As long as there is a difference between pointed ears and round ears, between tall and short people, between living in water and living on the continent, there will be strife in this world."

"There is bound to be a war between all different people, and if you want to put aside strife and keep peace, you must let one side completely destroy the other, and there will be no more inducements for conflict."

Talking about 'peace', Vika's words were as terrifying and cold as the frost of the Northland.

At this time, the priest turned his head and looked out the window, he saw the snow-white snow all over the city, and then said calmly: "This world, just like the snow in the northland, is beautiful because it is pure white. Snow doesn't need a different color. ”

"So I firmly believe that if all races except humans are eliminated, then the world will eventually be at peace."

- If you want to eradicate war, you must start the biggest war in history.

- If you want no one to die, you must first kill as many people as possible.

Just as a dragon slayer will eventually grow dragon scales, and the keeper of the treasure will eventually become an evil dragon - this is Vika's wish.

A priest who hopes for 'peace'.

And the demon dragon Fafnir, at his call, came as promised.

"But, boy, I must warn you that even if there is no intelligent life in this world except humans, wars will still happen."

Although he admired Vika's thoughts, the spirit dragon pointed out the contradiction in the mind of its summoner, and it shook its head: "The rich and the poor, the knowledgeable and the unknowledgeable gods, not to mention anything else, it depends on the luck - people can never be the same, and when the foreigners are killed, it is time to kill their own people." ”

"That's why I want to make a wish."

Vika didn't care about Fafnir's correction at all, he was already used to the magic dragon's raising: "Although, I doubt that the authority of the ancestor is difficult to do this, but on the surface, this should be the only way." ”

And just as the young priest spoke.

Suddenly, Vika looked up, as if sensing something.

"There's a guest coming."

He narrowed his eyes and said to himself solemnly, "Is this an active war?" ”

Now that the enemy has come to the door, there is no way to back down.

"Let's go, Fafnir."

Vika looked up, and he strode around and walked out of the temple, his tone calm.

"Let's go kill the uninvited guests."

And in response to him, it was like a roaring dragon's groan.

After a while.

Northland wilderness, at the entrance to the edge of the Kobol Mountains.

After a long period of use, Su Sun and Aura have arrived at the mountain range.

At this moment, hanging in the mountains, the mountain-like corpse belonging to Jörmungard was clearly visible.

"Hasn't it dissipated yet? Yes, Jörmungard devoured a part of the world. ”

Looking at the remains of the Great Serpent of the World, Su Sun began to analyze: "There are not a lot of magical energy ore reserves in the Northland Mountain Range, if Jörmungard really eats a mountain, then it may indeed have enough magic power to fight with Leviathan and Ying Long for a night, and leave a substantial **." ”

"Forget it, no matter what, at least it did drag those two people for most of the night, and bought me enough time to rest, which is worth thanking."

Thinking of this, Su Sun casually said to the android girl: "Ola, let's go, let's go to the depths and see if there is anything that can be used." ”

"Yes, Su Sun."

In response, the girl nodded obediently, and then took the lead and set off to the depths of the mountains.
