"Yes, Your Majesty."

The knights Ilovitz and Admiral Aharonov bowed in unison, retreated together, and left the Tower of Babel at the emperor's signal.

The two walked slowly down the tower, silent, the knight's face sad, and the old man's eyes deep.

The wind beat against the tower, and if it were an ordinary tower, it would have begun to shake, but the Tower of Babel was extremely strong, as if it had been rooted in the earth, and did not tremble in the slightest.

The two came to the bottom of the tower.

Beneath the Tower of Babel is a smooth, rocky plain where bands of laborers in rudimentary clothes and tools work. Most of them were demonizers, and under the supervision of professional overseers, they were wearing shackles, and they continued to level the surface of the earth, digging ditches, burying huge rune array parts, and carving out space underground.

It was the prototype of the Source Energy Factory, part of a giant industrial facility, and it could be seen that the empire was going to build an artificial structure that was unimaginably large with the Tower of Babel as the center.

Its surface structure will cover most of the hilly area, and the central part of the Montasini Mountains will be occupied as a bustling fixed industrial city.

And the depths will go deep into the ground, digging out a giant cavity like an underground mountain.

Because they are all demonizers, and most of them have some spell-like abilities, the speed of these labors is not slow, and it can even be said that they are very fast; Professional overseers from the military will also supervise these hard labors at all times, using all kinds of mental spells and physical punishment as a deterrent, so that they can exert 120% of their energy.

If the spirit is not firm, brainwashing labor. and those who are firm in spirit, shall be punished with scourging. Those who are so stubborn that brainwashing and punishment are useless, and those who do not need to work are killed.

Irowice witnessed it firsthand.

A few demonic beings who were too tired to work were simply called to the guards to take them away and 'buryed' in a hole not far away just because they refuted the urging of a few overseers.

And the corpses piled up in the pit have numbered in the thousands.

Actually, it's not all.

The gray-haired knight's golden eyes reflected the light and shadow of the souls when they left their bodies, they got rid of the suffering of the human world, these souls that were polluted by demonization should have slowly purified themselves between heaven and earth, and then returned to the earth.

However, because of a mysterious guidance, all the souls of the demons who had been executed sped away like moths to a flame, towards the huge black tower behind them.

Then, submerge into it.

“…… What exactly does Your Majesty want to do? ”

Gazing at a wisp of soul sinking into the tower, Irowice took a deep breath, his tone unbearable: "Even if they are prisoners, criminals, and rebel thugs...... But this even the soul after death ......"

He let out a long sigh as he said this, but he didn't finish it.

"Hey."

And the white-haired general, who was a little shorter than him, but still tall, took out a pipe from his bosom, wiped his thumb and middle finger, lit the tobacco, and after Akharolov took a deep breath, he calmly said: "In the final analysis, it is all a necessary sacrifice...... Inhumanity is indeed inhumane, but there is no way around it. ”

"Don't worry, I know that this kind of thing is against your morality, so Your Majesty and I have never asked you to do these things, Iloviz, you can rest assured that you will be your first knight, and the rest will be left to us."

Stretching out his hand and patting the gray-haired man's shoulder, the old general smiled, then raised his head as well and stared at the scene in front of him.

Under the guidance of the Overseer and the Source Energy Technique, the speed at which the Demonizers work is very wide, after all, in a way, they are all the most basic transcendents, and they surpass mortals in both endurance and absolute ability.

In this world, it is impossible to find tens of thousands of knights to be hard laborers, as basic laborers; But it's still easy to find tens of thousands of demons with the right abilities.

Even if the strength of these demonizers is sometimes not as good as that of ordinary people after exercise, it is indeed more convenient than the physical body.

Watching these spurred and brainwashed demons toiling day and night, there was no patience or pleasure in Akharolov's eyes.

He just stared at all this calmly, and then slowly said to himself, "Arresting the superfluous demons and using them for forced labor is a necessary law to maintain social stability...... The threat of the demonizers, you and I have seen before, that an ordinary woman who is just the deterioration of the demonic disease to the final stage can burst out with the power of five heavily armed soldiers and slaughter half a city block. ”

"They are inherently unstable elements, unless the strong people of the divine artistic conception, or even the great professionals of the disaster realm, personally suppress them - but there are billions of demons in this world, where can there be so many strong people to protect them?"

Speaking of this, the general of the Third Army of the Empire, his tone became cold: "A truly excellent demonizer has long become a professional and can suppress his illness by himself—this is the case with many officers in my army. ”

"And ordinary demonizers, the empire has also arranged for them to live in the outer city, but there are also special demonizer villages that can't do it, and they can always live if they want to live."

"Only those demons who are poor and lazy and do not know how to struggle and work hard, those demons who only know how to complain and take revenge on society, will become criminals and be escorted here by us - they deserve it."

"No one deserves it." Irowitz said in a deep voice, but he knew that it was impossible to get an answer to this question, so he just sighed: "That's it, Your Majesty and you, there are always a thousand reasons, I can't convince you, and I don't know what is right." ”

"The Enchanted are indeed a potential threat...... But they were also innocent people, and they were also subjects of the empire. ”

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

Ahaloonov said, he and Ilovitz walked forward together, and said lightly: "Moreover, I am more concerned about His Majesty's current strength than such a trivial matter as the Demon Transformer. ”

"Do you see Your Majesty's face? He's a lot younger. Who would have thought that His Majesty was older than you and me? Forty-five years ago, when he obtained the Sacred Rock of the First Glory in the ruins of Montasini, His Majesty has forged his own path and strength...... Comparable to the power of the ancient gods. ”

The admiral raised his head, he turned to look at the towering tower, and the old man's voice exclaimed: "Behold—such a great tower, as if it were about to touch the Holy Days...... If it weren't for Your Majesty, such a giant tower would have been shattered by a natural disaster halfway through. ”

"But with the power of His Majesty, there is nothing that can be done about natural disasters...... Irowice. ”

With that, he turned his head and looked at the knight beside him.

Akhalonov said solemnly: "Your Majesty can become the sun that shines on all beings, compared to the darkness of the future, which is close to the end, it is enough to bring about the end of the empire, the end of the continent, and now these little evils are necessary." ”

“…… I know. ”

The gray-haired knight knew what the other man meant, so he just let out a long sigh and then said no more.

And at this very moment.

The holy day in heaven suddenly dimmed for a moment.

Like a light bulb with bad induction, or a boiler that doesn't burn fully for a while, for a brief moment when no one reacts, the light of the holy day dims for a moment, and then it shines again again.

"What?!"

This momentary anomaly was naturally detected by Ilovitz and Ahaloonov.

Both looked up in unison and looked high into the sky in amazement.

The Holy Day continues to shine smoothly, as it always does.

However, I could faintly see that there were several points of light that shimmered with tiny brilliance, and they were falling in the direction of the earth with a long trajectory.

……

Asmodean Empire, Southern Coastal Corridor.

The Chuyao, whose outer armor had been renewed, was moving at the speed of a normal moving merchant ship.

At this moment, the appearance of the First Glory is completely different from the past, the outer armor that has been mottled and ancient because of history has now been covered by a layer of metal patterns like the roots of a tree, and its appearance has changed drastically, except for the front angle of attack and armor, the rest of the area has become plausible as before.

This is exactly the power of Su Sun - although Su Sun is not afraid of the pursuit of the Asmodee Empire, but with the children of the Xiguang Orphanage here, he doesn't want to cause more trouble, so he directly covered the surface of the Chuyao Ship with a layer of dark green Shenmu outer armor, and slightly changed the structure of the Chuyao Ship in appearance.

Nowadays, except for the novelty of the pattern, the current Chuyao Ship looks like a large commercial ship.

On this Ai'an continent, although it is not common, it is not rare, and there will be seven or eight large commercial motherships under the command of any industrial mobile city.

And now, Su Sun is teaching all the children in the orphanage to learn the spiritual cultivation method of 'Ember Flame 0.92 Beta'.

Most of the children in Xiguang Orphanage are mediocre in talent, and they can be regarded as middle-aged.

Even if Professor Svetley has been paying attention to education for several years, it does not change a person's talent.

Fortunately, Su Day's cultivation has never paid attention to qualifications.

After all, most of Su Sun's cultivation methods didn't have any combat power—whether it was the Reincarnation Immortal Method or the Five Virtue Qilin Method, all of them could be cultivated, but they could only be cultivated, and they did not include combat, nor did they teach any other transcendent aspects of a single cultivation.

It only focuses on the accumulation of aura, but also has its own special effects: for example, immortality, foundation building, and soul purification......

The effect has been simplified to such an extent that the natural practice itself has become extremely simple.

"That's about it for today."

Putting away the textbook in his hand and wiping the crystal whiteboard behind him, Su Sun turned around and announced, "It's time to get out of class - everyone remember, don't run around in the ship, Sister Dawn will catch you all back." ”

"The children who run around casually and are caught are not allowed to eat meat tonight."

"Yes, Professor!"

Hearing the children's uniform spiritual answers, Su Sun smiled - he didn't expect that after he came to the world of dusk, he would really become a preschool teacher.

Of the thirty-seven children, Gasha and Loa were the most talented, so it was no wonder that the original Professor Svetley would take them on a quest to explore the ruins, apparently as academic heirs.

And second, there is Seneca.

The eldest boy with Medusa and Kraken blood is the oldest, and his personality and talent are also good, and Professor Svetley also has high hopes for him, hoping that he will become the new director of Xiguang Orphanage, and take care of a new generation of children after his old death.

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

After returning to the Chu Yao Ship, Su Sun swept everyone aside with the Book of Prajna.

I have to say that Xiguang Orphanage is not a special place after all, and the future demon king-level characters who are really serious are Gasha and Loya, and the lives and futures of others are all mediocre.

And, all of them died after the death of Professor Svetley, and the persecution of the demons by the nobles of Arvind.

If Su Sun hadn't rushed back in time this time, then the orphanage would have been captured by Earl Arvind, some of them would have been used as raw materials for the source energy test, some of them would have been sent to hard labor, and some of them would have ...... It is to satisfy the bestiality of Count Evender himself.

Indescribable.

To be honest, even if it was just words, reading it made Su Sun angry, and he couldn't help but want to go back to Avind and crush the entire Earl's Mansion and Count Even's corpse to ashes.

But if you think about it carefully, after the other party's soul and the fragments of the Dusk Dragon were eaten by themselves, they will be fine.

In addition, Su Sun also swept the Sweeping Flint Master and Dawn with the Book of Prajna.

Master Flint is not lying, his past is exactly the same as his previous self-description in the ruins, both the original and the machine are idealists who want to make the world brighter and want to use technology to help everyone.

He was supposed to die with Yelena and Hader, all of whom died in the ruins of the First Dawn, and then were buried by the Scourge.

However, the analysis of the Book of Prajna at dawn made Su Sun keenly grasp several pieces of useful information.

It can even be said that the sky is falling apart.

[Name: Dawn Yinxi]

[Age: 87,162 years old]

【Talent: Restricted】

[Race: Ai'an Fairy, Artificial Half-Blood Silver Elf]

[Cultivation is: Soul Condensation Initial Stage/Source Energy Furnace Heart Blessing State is Heart Light Level]

Up to this point, everything was normal - nothing special except that Dawn was more than 80,000 years old.

Even the historical information is the same as Dawn's own narrative - she is indeed an artificial half-elf made by the elves, specially designed to test the elves to get rid of the source energy when the holy day is extinguished.

She couldn't find the meaning of her own existence, but every era, she happened to meet a few people who cared about her time, and developed friendships with them.

In the beginning, Dawn was only trying to help these friends who were very good to her, so she worked with them to study how to fight against the extinguishing of the Holy Day and think about the countermeasures to the end of the world—she herself did not say that she was alive or not.

And gradually, as the epochs changed, the reason why the dawn helped the civilization of other epochs gradually changed.

"Dawn...... I hope you live. ”

"You are a silver goblin, an immortal spirit, and you are a miracle that has existed since the time of the ancient gods...... Dawn, please live with our memories. ”

"Live, goblin—ah, I forgot you're older than my whole family combined...... But in my eyes, you're still a leprechaun. ”

"The world is good, only you, I hope, you can live."

A voice of entrustment.

Say goodbye one by one.

From one era to the next, from entering the stagnant field to stepping out of the stagnant field, every time you fall asleep and wake up, it means the end of a generation, the demise of a civilization, and the existence of countless people is annihilated in minutes and turned into meaningless dust.

Stay alive.

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

With a life span of 80,000 years and four dawns, it is like a living history book, recording the joys, sorrows, sorrows and sorrows of every civilization in that era, and everyone's every move - there are too many scenery and figures in her life that have passed away and will never return, and only she remembers the laughter and laughter that have been lost in time.

Her existence is to carry it.

She didn't want to forget, she didn't want those phantoms that had passed away to disappear completely, become meaningless, and turn into nothingness, so she wanted to live.

This is also the reason why after Dawn left the ruins, he directly cooperated with Su Sun without saying a word.

Dawn's purpose is merely to exist, as long as anyone who doesn't want to kill her, and also wants to live, is her natural ally.

After reading the analysis of the Book of Prajna at dawn, Su Sun was able to further understand the true thoughts of this silver goblin who was usually relatively silent and quite nothing.

The Silver Elf is an upbeat ...... In other words, the goblins are all optimistic to the point of being a little lacking in strings, and they are particularly forgetful, especially the things they don't like.

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

The man couldn't help but sigh.

But what really made Su Sun frown was the ending of the other party's perfect deduction.

[Perfect deduction (error): ...... After the Northern Ionian Exploration Team self-destructed, it was still in the static field of the Chuyao Exploration Ship and did not wake up.

Because of the natural disaster and the subsequent world turmoil, there was no exploration team to excavate this ruin located at the edge of the world, and it slept for three hundred and forty-nine years.

Eventually, at the end of the Primordial Dark Age, the Sun Emperor Asmodeh XIII burned all things, causing the Holy Sun to fall and the Demon Moon to dissipate in the 'Void Hour', and died due to the turbulence of time and space caused by the collapse of the Aion World. 】
