Rozelia Falseth once had a friend of the Enchanters.

The Pelses family has no direct lineage, not even a family unit in the usual sense, and all the children of the family are taken away by the presbyterian church after the lactation period, and they are uniformly nurtured and taught, and exercised and trained in a unified manner, without exception.

Children can't even see their parents before the age of eight, but they are not lacking in warmth, in the family's newborn training camp, they receive meticulous care, professional nursery and early childhood education is responsible for guiding each child to grow, develop their own interests and specialties, than most parents who have no time to take care of because of work, and do not have professional childcare certificates, much better, and more professional.

In the Falses family, first the family, then the family.

The family motto of the Falseth family is 'equality and co-prosperity' and 'trust and tolerance'.

Not only children, but also parents rarely see their children, and they can see their children twice a year on their birthdays and New Year's, let alone exert influence, and the glory of the family will shine on all the occupants, which is 'equality and common prosperity'.

In the family minutes, everyone is assigned to different positions according to their talents and areas of expertise, and Rozelia's parents are members of the Foreign Trade Chamber of Commerce, and compared to other parents who rarely see their children, the two of them can stay in the seaside capital and watch Rozelia carefully.

Until the day he was nine years old, his parents returned from the harsh mountains of the Western Regions and brought back a little boy.

They say that it is the child of the benefactor who saved their lives, and that their benefactor has vowed to bring the child back as if it were their own, in order to protect the caravan of the coastal capital from a giant deceased tiger.

It was the first time Rozeglia had seen Alaya, a demonic boy with black hair, purple eyes, and a demonic tattoo on his face.

This is a key propaganda tool for the Falses and the Enchanted Ones, who need proof that the Falcis family and the Seaside City do not discriminate against the Enchanters equally.

The parents seem to feel a little guilty, their son obviously doesn't have many opportunities to meet him, and he finally meets him once, but they bring back a new 'child'.

But Rozelia didn't care, whether it was the family's propaganda or the parents' insecurity and guilt, he didn't think about it so much.

He just, just stared at the little boy who was hiding behind an adult like a wounded little beast, but his eyes were very fierce, and a spark suddenly ignited in his lonely heart.

"I can...... Are you friends? ”

The blond-haired, green-eyed child whispered, then held out his hand to the other.

"Friends...... Friend? ”

The black-haired, purple-eyed child tilted his head in confusion, but he held out his hand anyway.

Although in retrospect, one party was afraid of the unfamiliar environment and the sadness of losing his parents, so he did not hesitate to seize a little kindness.

On the other hand, because of long-term loneliness and loneliness, because his parents are far away and he doesn't have many friends, he wants to find someone to rely on spiritually.

But this kind of acquaintance process is actually not bad.

After all, not all friendships begin with pure flawlessness, and interdependence requires a healthy way to interact.

The primitive tribes in the mountains have their own unique way of life, they regard demonic disease as a blessing, cannibalism as a dedication, only the power brought by demonic disease can lead them to live in the dangerous environment of the harsh mountain range, and whenever the demonic people go crazy, there will be people who voluntarily sacrifice their souls and bodies to the other party to devour, maintaining the sanity of the strong.

Under the covers, young Rozelia listened intently to Alaya's account of the strange customs of the tribe, and he listened to the other man's description of the horror of ogres in the mountains, and the cold and severe winds of the snow-capped mountains in the northwest, and the evil spirits and ghosts that emerged in the wind and snow.

It must be said that this really scared Rozelia, but he also laughed, and walked Alaya little by little through every corner of the seaside capital during the day, so that he could see this high-rise city that was even higher than the mountains of his homeland.

With Alaya, his life is not alone.

In the same way, Alaya was nurtured by the Falses family without discrimination, and the spread of demonization was curbed, and the two grew up together, played together, and walked through every corner of the seaside capital together, witnessing the endless splendor of the Demon Moon in the city, and watching the dawn rise in the wilderness of the continent of Aion.

At the age of eighteen, they crossed the examination together and became full members and employees of the Falseth family.

Rozelia showed extraordinary talent for cultivation and combat, he became a spellcaster on the battlefield of the seaside capital and all the forces that peeped into the city, and Alaya undoubtedly carried forward his blood as a tribesman of the Western Regions, he became the strongest knight, holding a giant shield and a tower-like body to block the onslaught of the barbarian stone and bull.

The combination of the two is very accordful, whether it is to protect the caravan or carry out a stealth mission.

Even in danger, the two sides never thought of abandoning each other, and each time they returned from a desperate situation together.

They are not brothers, but they are better than brothers.

Until that day, Rozelia became a Divine Consciousness Mage and became the youngest family nucleus.

He was exposed to the truth about the Heart of the Source Energy Furnace, the status of the Demons on the Continent, and the still cold side of the Seaside Capital's superficial enthusiasm.

Although the demons are allowed to exist in the coastal capital and are treated equally, it is nothing more than tying up interests and absorbing the power of the demons that other countries and other forces do not need.

Exchanging money for power, at the end of the day, is a transaction...... When one day, the benefits and costs brought by the demons are not comparable, they will not hesitate to abandon the demons.

This is normal, the family must be so cold and ruthless in order to survive in this terrible land.

Rozelia understands this.

However, he did not forget the suffering of his brothers, as well as the suffering of his brothers, who were not of the same race.

Rozeglia is very smart, even smarter than most people, he knows very well that even if he is dissatisfied, he will not be able to resist the decisions of the entire family, in addition to his own need to become stronger, he also needs to win more voice for the demonizers.

In this way, even if it is abandoned, it will not be ruthlessly destroyed, and maybe there will be a good ending for gathering and dispersing.

"The demonic must have a city of their own, or a city of their own, and have a foundation, so that they will not be secretly discriminated against, regarded as a package and a burden."

In the dimly lit room, Rozeglia said solemnly to his silent brother, "Alaya, I have a thought in my heart...... Demons can try to become the guards of the city, they can be part of patrols and law enforcement teams, and use their power to hunt down those dangerous criminals, although this will cause many to vote hatred and fear on you, but in turn, you will become a part of the city, a part of our family......"

"Of course, the best thing is to take it and build a small city dedicated to the Demons, followed by the exclusive urban districts, the Demons need to unite in order to achieve the ultimate goal - I think District 193 to 207 is good, there are a lot of Demons there......"

This is just a very superficial idea, Rozelia was still young at that time, although he had already experienced the battlefield of life and death, but he did not really plan to that point.

"Listen to you, brother."

And Alaya nodded solemnly, and he said softly in a deep voice, "When the time comes, we will act." ”

The time was fast in coming.

One winter a few years later, the seaside capital was greeted with another siege of the Origin Beasts and an army of robbers, smoke bombs sent by the Empire, and in fact, an elite army group was eyeing the side.

As an overly thriving independent and neutral mobile city, no matter what the national power is, it wants to seize the seaside capital as its own economic center.

On the contrary, at least not for others to obtain.

Of course, they knew that the strength of the coastal capital was not weak, so it was just a temptation, and they confronted each other when the beasts stretched out their claws.

It was a terrible battle, Alaya's mace and shield were covered with blood and internal organs, and there were fragments of bones everywhere, and the whole person was so tired that he could only gasp, and Rozelia was even more unbearable, he used up all his magic power, and now he could only lie in the blood and pretend to be a dead man, quietly recovering his energy.

“…… Let's go and occupy the imperial town on the border, there should be no one there, and the Ninth Army has just retreated, we can occupy that town......"

After recovering a little of his energy, Rozelia was helped up by Alaya, although his hands and legs were spasmodic and unable to move, he still cheered up and said: "This is the exchange of courtesies, many satellite villages and towns in the coastal capital have come like this, but this time we have to hurry, take the demon army over, we will occupy it first, and we will have a greater say in the distribution of the spoils!" ”

"Save your energy, stop talking."

To this, Alaya laughed, his eyes burning, looking in the direction of the town, his eyes full of hope: "A town that belongs to the demon...... Our homeland! ”

It didn't take much effort to capture an uninhabited town, and at the beginning of the war, the Ninth Army dispersed all the inhabitants of the moving town and used it as a forward headquarters.

Although the town is dilapidated, the base is intact, and the completely destroyed city is just right for the construction of new buildings, and the demons crave this land, although they can live without discrimination, but in the end, they need to rely on the snort.

Respect. Respect is not charity, not tolerance, but relying on work, relying on one's own efforts, getting the reward that is due, giving money does not have to be high, and those who get money do not have to be humble and humble, this is respect.

Rozelia is also aware of this problem, and he has thought of many solutions, but only letting the demonizer have a little foundation of his own is the most stable and reasonable solution, and the other methods may not be implemented until he becomes the elder of the family.

Hundreds of demonic warriors who had long been aware of the plan had arrived, and they were to hold on to waiting for the Empire's Ninth Army to completely evacuate, and then protect the mobile town from the onslaught of bandits and source beasts.

Most of them were excited, but they suppressed the excitement in their calm, knowing that the dawn before victory was the darkest, and the closer they got to success, the more cautious they been.

Sure enough, a rapid siren sounded, and the sentinels launched an early warning.

"The enemy is coming!"

"They're going to kill them and eat our troops!"

"Ha, it's really a trap, but as long as we can withstand this wave of offensive of the Ninth Army, the follow-up support troops can surround them in turn, which is a great achievement!"

"All in place and ready for battle!"

Observing with the eagle eye technique, Rozelia laughed, all this was expected by him, the Ninth Army was not the emperor's direct line, it was a war machine group jointly supported by the nobles of the southeast, they had always been an eye for an eye, how could they have suffered a loss and lost the battle and didn't think about how to save face?

Alaya stood up in silence, and the tall man picked up his mace and shield, and looked calmly in the direction of the enemy again.

But there was hope in his eyes.

Not far away, groups of soldiers of the Ninth Army lined up in a scattered formation with tall armored fighting vehicles, and then, with the belief of revenge, rushed towards the abandoned town where the stronghold was being built.

……

"It's very powerful, those hundreds of demonic troops actually blocked more than twelve onslaughts of the Ninth Army's assault brigade, killed and wounded nearly a thousand enemies, and let us get a large number of prisoners, this next Admiral Timoshchuk that guy can only obediently bow his head and pay the ransom, an unprecedented victory!"

"It's a pity, so brave, only a dozen people survived in the end, but fortunately, the child who commanded the unit is fine, Rozelia, he has a lot of potential, he is very worthy of training."

"It's a pity that almost all the troops have been wiped out, hey, even if there are a hundred people left, so that we can still form a demon army with these hundred people as the core, they are really very brave."

"Rozelia, is it because you are injured and don't want to speak? Well, it's amazing that you didn't get hurt much. ”

"It's very well protected."

Memories come back to the present.

Standing on the highest point of the seaside capital, the old man who still looks like a blonde boy looks down on the city and looks around the world.

- How long has it been?

A non-demonic who cares about the Demon.

INTERVIEWER How long has it been?

A powerful old man, accustomed to the suffering of the world, and not much younger than himself, has not yet been worn out of enthusiasm, and still harbors indignation and dissatisfaction with this world, and is not numb.

yes, yes.

How many years...... Alaya.

When will I be able to give you rest?

"Let's talk here,"

On top of this lighthouse, the Great Magister of the Calamity, who still looked like a young man, sat down and said calmly to the old man with the same white hair beside him: "You are right, hope is indeed capable of killing, I know this, I once gave hope to a demon, and he believed in that ethereal vision until he died. ”

"And I will continue to give hope to more demonic people, so that more people will die."

"Hah, who really likes the Demonizer from the bottom of their hearts? They are too dangerous, but we don't have the capital to treat them badly...... Professor Svetley, you can't expect those of us to love the weak...... Only the strongest being can love the weak being, and we don't deserve it. ”

And Su Sun also sat down, although he couldn't read Luo Zelia's memory, he could sense the emotions in his heart.

It was a deep sadness and determination that I will never forget.

This old man is lying, but there is no need to expose it, everyone has a past that they don't want to tell casually, so there is no need to delve into it.

So the man was silent for a while, and then said, "The demons are objectively a threat, and they should not be accepted intellectually. ”

"But I have a secret method that allows the demonizer to transform into a transcendent person relatively safely, as long as it is popularized, I believe that the status of the demonizer will definitely change, and the social structure of this world will definitely change."

Most of the demonizers are just gifted people who have not been protected by the people, and their talents have not been highlighted and manifested by education, but they will be demonized because of their instinctive proximity to the source energy.

This is also the reason why there are not many strong people among the demons, they are supposed to be strong, and the demons actually sealed their future, giving them the power they shouldn't get early.

Su Sun simply handed a booklet to Rozelia.

And Rozeglia didn't hesitate to open it and browse its contents.

Knights, spellcasters, and alchemists, these are the three major professions in the world of Aion, and the three ways to use source energy.

The Knight relies on Source Energy to strengthen himself and his weapons, greatly improving his fine manipulation and reflexes.

The caster relies on the source energy to strengthen the soul, dissect the truth of the root, and cast all kinds of wonderful spells with the help of source energy and knowledge.

Alchemists use source energy to create things, and their creations are like the embodiment of truth, and any wonderful function can be done, as long as they can pay the price and master knowledge.

Mages can read so fast that their brains are comparable to those of a real supercomputer, making even quantum reading a breeze.

However, Rozeglia carefully read the booklet page by page, reading the methods of spiritual guidance that even the illiterate could roughly understand by diagrams.

He finished reading, closed the booklet, and closed his eyes.

"The Dragon of Dusk is about to be unsealed, in twenty years."

The blonde-haired 'boy' suddenly spoke, and when he said it, it was extremely secretive, and even many army leaders and nobles might not be able to know about the confidential information: "Even if we can restore the original appearance of the demonizer now, and let the curse become a blessing, it is too late." ”

"But...... Professor, you are really great. ”

"Nothing great."

Su Yan shook his head: "This is the 'should do' and 'right' thing, as a strong person, it should be so." ”

Opening his eyes, Rozelia glanced at Su Sun deeply, and he smiled: "I heard that Professor Svetley is a murderous and terrible butcher who caused a terrible massacre in the city of Evend, and tortured and killed Count Avander alive, now it seems that it should all be fake." ”

"An orphanage director shouldn't be so cruel."

"It's true, but for another reason." Su Yan was keenly aware that Luo Zelia's opinion of himself had changed dramatically, and he prompted: "Don't riddle, since you don't have enough time, let's talk quickly, people who are dozens of years old, and they are still slowly swallowing what they say?" ”

And Rozelia nodded, this disaster powerhouse had no, he raised his hand and pointed to the north: "The holy day will be extinguished, the final war is about to begin, in order to compete for the hope of surviving in the dark, all the forces with hole cards will not be willing to become the food and fire of others." ”

"The seaside capital has a Holy Sun Crystallization Engine excavated from the previous era, also known as the Chuyao Holy Rock, which holds nearly unlimited energy, and is the object of prying eyes of the major forces, but our strength is not weak, so at present, it is mainly to attract and intimidate, but in a few years, it is estimated that the army will be overwhelmed."

"But the northern barbarians are different, they believe in the dragon of dusk, and the cold land they live in is not much superior to the dark age, they are fearless, and the dragon of dusk that is about to awaken has also given them power, the number of their professions is skyrocketing, the northern frost army does not even know when it will be eroded, and the former enemies have joined forces."

"I may know why."

Su Sun nodded, he described the soul purification effect brought by the Dusk Mark, and did not hide that his Ember Fire Channeling Technique was inspired by it.

The number of transcendents in the northern barbarians is obviously that a large number of demons have been purified into transcendents by the power of the Dragon of Dusk, and the Yanshuang Army has been mixed with the barbarians for a long time before the war, although the war has been fought for a long time, but what they really hate is the Athmodean Empire that abandons the north.

This suddenly dawned on Rozelia.

"What do you need me to do?"

Communicating with the true head of the Falses family, Su Sun gained a lot of secrets about this world, such as some secrets about the royal family of the Asmodean Empire, and the mysterious traction of the Demon Moon, the Northern Barbarians, and the Sealed Moon...... Many, many secrets, the Falses family is one of the most powerful forces in the world, second only to the big alliances, and they know far more information than Su Sun.

And after learning this precious information, Su Yan directly asked the other party's purpose - the burning ember fire is precious, but this kind of thing that is about to be popularized is obviously not valuable.

It's sunset.

"Originally, I thought that you might be a catastrophe powerhouse, and wanted to win you into joining our Falses family, and by the way, trade with you the knowledge you gained in the ancient ruins, and become so powerful."

Rozeglia stood up, he looked down at the Holy Sun that was slowly sinking into the horizon, his eyes were deep: "But now there is no need, the flames will burn, and they will always burn, and the flames of war will spread here, not to mention whether you will be willing to join, even if you do, it will only tie you to the chariot." ”

"The coastal capital will start to move in a few months, to the volcanic area deep in the southeast sea to avoid the fighting, this is undoubtedly just an escape, and will definitely be pursued by the major forces, but we are ready to face the battle, this auction is to find out the purpose and tendency of the major forces, and by the way, return a wave of funds to purchase resources."

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Su Sun, who was also standing up, and Rozelia said in a deep voice: "I already know your purpose, Professor Svetley, you want to obtain a First Shine Holy Rock, we have it, but it is the engine that drives the operation of the Seaside Capital, we can't give it to you." ”

"But we'll support you so that you have the strength and resources to get the First Shine Rock in the East China Sea - we have a special tracking circle that can capture an aura similar to the First Shine Rock."

"Haha."

Hearing this, Su Yan already understood the other party's purpose, and he laughed: "Throwing a crackling smoke bomb not only hides people's eyes and ears, but also attracts people's attention - you want me to make a big fuss in the East China Sea, so that everyone's eyes are focused on that side, so that it is convenient for the coastal capital to retreat?" ”

"You really believe in me, believe that I will, can make a big move, and will definitely agree to do so."

"Why not."

In this regard, Rozelia smiled faintly, he took out the pamphlet given by Su Sun and glanced at it, and then looked down at the city.

The man whispered, "I always believe in hope." ”

Even if it can kill, that's true.

"Starting today, the Seaside City will begin to popularize the guidance technique you have written, and believe me, the Seaside City...... Obey my commands. ”

With that, the blonde boy pulled out an opaque crystal box out of nowhere.

"This is a deposit, an advance payment."

"Oh?"

Su Yan raised his eyebrows, he didn't stretch out his hand, he already knew what was in this box: "To tell you the truth, you give this thing?" The big one or two billion imperial coins, the small half of the armed fleet, if you eat it yourself, I'm afraid it will really stay as young as now. ”

And Rozelia pushed the box into Su Sun's arms without hesitation: "You are worth more than five fully armored fleets. ”

"Take it, and take it as an old man's thanks."

— as a sacrifice to hope.

“…… Hopefully, there is no need for sacrifices. ”

Sensing what the other party was thinking, Su Sun accepted the box containing the Burning Divine Tree, but his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "It won't stand behind the coward, and it can only be obtained after the battle - the seaside capital may be able to escape the war, but you definitely can't, there are things that need you to do in the future, and your strength should fight, not just think about escaping." ”

"As for the matter of the East China Sea, I promise you, this is what I should have done."

Su Sun turned to leave, he simply jumped off the lighthouse and rode the wind in the direction where the Chu Yao ship was.

Rozelia, who wanted to say something more, stood still, opened his mouth, and then turned his head in silence.

The old man looked at the sunset, which had mostly sunk into the horizon, and his eyes burned.

Yes, there is nowhere to escape, there is no room left in this world.

"My friend......" he sighed, "maybe it's now." ”

"The ...... I promised you"

Silence ensued.

It's time to fight.
