Chapter 8: Good and Evil (Cold, Transition Plot)
After hearing the voice, Su Yan opened his eyes slightly.
He turned his head sideways, looked behind him, and noticed the silver-haired girl floating at the entrance of the passage.
"I'm awake."
He said this casually, and then turned back again, facing Yelena and Master Flint Light.
Su Sun didn't pay attention to the girl who was supposed to be the target of the entire ruin exploration team, as if the other party didn't exist, and continued to say to the two, "Are you really not going to surrender?" As you can see, I didn't intend to kill you, but I just wanted to ask you about your background, your real purpose, and what the big guys behind them thought. β
"Huh." Staring at the silver-haired girl behind her, Yelena's attitude can be said to be very uncooperative.
[No comment.] And although the tone of Master Suiguang is gentle and polite, the content is the same meaning.
For this uncooperative attitude, Su Yan could only shake his head.
The Asmodee Third Army behind Yelena and Hader represents the imperial side, and the Admiral Akhalonov in her mouth should be the leader of this army.
In Professor Svetley's memory, he also heard this name often, and it should be one of the main high-ranking officials of the Imperial Side.
The Asmodee Empire has a total of twenty-eight armies, of which the number of full formations is not large, most of them have collusion with the local nobles, and even they are the emperor of the land, and only nine are really directly under the command of the imperial family, and the third army is the most powerful of them.
Although the number is small, the army group directly under the royal family is far superior to others in terms of strength and equipment, and if it were not for the frequent natural disasters and the various poisons caused by the internal strife and division of the previous empire, these forces would be enough to rule the entire empire.
Yelena was apparently following the military's orders to secretly explore the ruins of the First Yao, and the military had a rough idea of what was in the ruins, at least they knew that they could find the Iron Coffin of the Static Detention Field and the 'ancestors' in the coffin.
As for the Light Chasing Order to which Master Suiguang belonged, Su Sun was even more familiar with itβhe had studied in the Order's academy before, and at least forty years ago, the Light Chasing Order was a moderate and progressive organization, with the mission of developing technology for the benefit of the people of the entire Aion world.
Most of the alchemists in the entire world have the background of the Light Chasing Order, and they never hide their knowledge, but alchemy is really difficult to learn, which is about the same as a complex of various high-end disciplines such as high mathematics plus chemistry plus fluid dynamics plus physics.
Without the professional guidance of teachers and textbooks, it is difficult for ordinary people to be self-taught, so in the transcendent profession, the number of alchemists is not as large as that of spellcasters.
Now, Su Yan didn't know if the Light Chaser Sect still had its original intention, but even if the other party wanted to kill him, he couldn't deny that Master Suiguang had no choice but to act with the ideal of 'benefiting mankind'.
These two people, respectively, represent the imperial family, the military; One side represents one of the world's most independent and transcendent forces.
If he could get these two to speak, he would be able to clearly grasp the general situation in the entire Aion world.
Unfortunately, it looks a bit hard.
"Svetre has been washing his hands for too long, and in recent years he has been focusing on building an orphanage, not even paying attention to the situation in the world."
Shaking his head slightly, Su Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Although Yelena and Suiguang are riddlers, they are indeed my ports to understand this world. β
Thinking so, he made a decision in his heart.
"Are you really not going to cooperate?"
Moving forward again, Su Yan stood indifferently in front of the two who had lost their ability to resist.
The big shield in his hand is heavy, and his steps are like a chariot, no one will think that this man is not dangerous without a blade, his existence itself is like a war hammer of divine punishment, and the ramming horn of the siege is the most dangerous weapon.
Yelena couldn't figure out why the originally weak, seemingly powerless professor, had become what she was like now - she was indeed prepared for Professor Svetley's hidden strength, but the image in her mind was that of a powerful alchemist, a scholar who manipulated source energy and strange weapons!
But now? It's a humanoid dragon!
In the face of Su Sun's faint threat, the female knight still didn't have any intention of compromise.
Even, lying on the ground, she smiled mockingly.
"Heh, you hard-hearted person, I'm not like you, I will ignore the safety of the children in the orphanage, and act recklessly according to my own will."
"You think I'm going to be scared to death? If the mission fails, if I live, it will be the greatest disaster for the people around me. β
"No matter how much you torture me, there's no point, if you want to kill, hurry up."
"I see." Not angry at Yelena's provocation, Su Yan just nodded calmly and said thoughtfully: "I probably understand what you mean...... It's true that you can't live, and that's not good for the people around you. β
"So offended, I'll give you a ride."
After speaking, Su Sun did not hesitate, he raised his hand directly, and the lower edge of the shield fell like a guillotine.
"Dean!"
Seeing this scene, Luo Ya, who had been hiding on the side before, couldn't help but subconsciously speakβhe was quite confused when he fought before, and he couldn't understand why Aunt Yelena, who had been good to them before, suddenly fought with the dean.
He couldn't figure out how things got to this point.
"Loya, stop." And Gasha grabbed Loa to the side.
Although he also couldn't see the situation clearly, he could vaguely feel that the professor's action was not to 'punish' Aunt Yelena's non-cooperation, but to 'fulfill' the other party.
"They're all good boys, aren't they?"
Hearing Luo Ya's voice, Su Yan also stopped his hand, and he said softly: "You are not as bad as you seem, at least I have seen you try to keep the children away from the center of danger several times. β
Perhaps, in the perfect deduction, in the worldline where Professor Svetley died and did not have Su Sun's possession, it was Yelena's connivance that allowed the two children to escape from the ruins of the first day.
At this moment, the female knight with a stiff face was also a little shaken.
According to the military, Professor Svetley is a demonic alchemist who dared to use blasphemy potions to turn half of the moving city-states into plague puppets in order to fight against the encirclement of the Imperial army, and the reason why he opened an orphanage after fleeing was only to cover up his identity with this persona.
After all, who would have thought that a cold-blooded butcher who dared to kill hundreds of thousands of people would actually become a caring poor professor?
But in the ten days she had been exploring the ruins, she had vaguely noticed that these children, who were about the same age as her daughter, sincerely admired each other, and the temperament displayed by Professor Svetley was not at all the same as the most wanted blight warlock.
- But what's the point? If I fail the mission, if I don't die and be treated as a traitor, my daughter's fate will be worse than death......
"Don't let the kids see it, Professor."
Sighing, she said, "They shouldn't be seeing this at this age. β
"You're underestimating them, Yelena."
And Su Sun replied: "They are orphans crawling out of famine and dead bodies, not flowers in a greenhouse." And in this world, they must see every step clearly, not run away. β
The shield fell, blood splattered, and the skull rolled to the side.
Su Sun wiped the blood stains off his shield, and he looked at the flint on the side: "Master, do you have to be so stubborn?" β
And the cyborg figure who was watching all this said calmly: [The manufacturing technology of the Light Chaser Order has been completely mastered, and the 'Suiguang' is not afraid of death. γ
[Don't be burdened, Professor Svetley, you're a nice guy, and I'm sorry for trying to kill you.] γ
"Why bother."
Sighing, Su Sun raised his hand, and the arc of electricity flashed in his palm.
Without hesitation, the man pressed one hand on the head of the flint master, who was about to run out of energy, and then withdrew his hand, and turned around and walked towards Gasha and Loya at the moment when the soul light of the other party's eyes was extinguished.
"Your shield."
Returning the shield to Gasha and rubbing the other party's head, Su Yan turned his head sideways and looked at Luo Ya, who was still a little dazed.
"What, can't you understand it?"
He leaned down and asked softly.
"No...... I understand it. Raising his head and looking at Su Sun, Luo Ya shook his head vigorously: "They all want to kill the dean, so of course the dean can kill them." β
"Just ......"
The boy looked away, and he looked at the body of the female knight.
Luo Ya's tone was confused and confused: "Aunt Yelena...... And the Master of Flint. β
"Are they bad people?"
