Sunlight squeezed through the cracks of the dull clouds, mixed with choking gray smoke and wind, and swept through the slums around the factory district.

Cicero took his daughter, who was about to fall asleep, and made a long detour from the fringe to his home.

The weary man finally stepped through the familiar door, but he shouldn't have returned.

The Redcoats are still the masters of this slum, their power by the throats of all those who beg for a living in the area, the gang members of these fellow demonizers who are essentially lackeys of the nobility and the powerful, and whose actions in recent days have been nothing short of treating the other demonizers as pigs in the corral.

- As long as you want, grab and kill.

As a former mercenary, Cicero, who only left the mercenary circle for some reason and lived incognito, naturally couldn't accept this fact, and he fled with his daughter as quickly as possible, preparing to leave this land of right and wrong and find his old friend to avoid the limelight.

But he has long been labeled. Cicero, who usually wields his own force and does not cooperate with the Red Coats, and even often opposes the Red Coats, is chosen as a chicken to kill chickens and monkeys, and the Red Coats will use his blood and corpse to announce to everyone that anyone who opposes the gang will be miserable.

Then, it's a chase, a flight, and then a mysterious team...... Rescued, questioned, and given a legacy.

Finally, it was returned to freedom.

Until now, Cicero had not figured out what Professor Svetley was trying to do, and he saved himself without asking for anything; He gives the inheritance, like handing out a few pieces of waste paper.

"Whatever you do, it's best if it spreads, this kind of cultivation that can stabilize the soul is useful to all demonizers."

It was the answer he heard, but he couldn't understand.

Source Energy Guided ...... The value in this land is more valuable than gold and source energy steel.

And the channeling technique that can solidify and purify the soul, let alone use, Cicero has never heard of it - although the mercenary group is well-informed, they don't know anything about the real secrets.

He had a hard time believing that this was true, but whether the channeling technique was true or not, the long knife that recorded the channeling technique had been transformed into a source energy weapon by Professor Svetley, and the silver-cyan source energy flowed around the blade like a thin cloud.

The reason why Cicero didn't go directly to his mercenary friend was because he got the news that the mercenary group had been suppressed by the Evander noble guards.

The Guards, under the orders of Count Arvind, had been dispatched en masse to quell the riots in various parts of the city—but instead of attacking the gangs, they wanted to wipe out all the mercenaries and the few ordinary professionals who had stopped the gang rebellion.

The mercenary group is holding its stronghold, resisting the strong firepower of the nobles' armed forces.

By now, there was no safe place in the entire city of Evender, the outer city had been in a mess, and he could even hear a loud impact coming from the direction of the inner city and even the core area.

Hearing that voice, a large number of guards retreated, which relieved the mercenary group that was almost defeated.

Obviously, it's not very peaceful over there.

If it were him, Cicero would have taken the risk of fighting with his former mercenary brothers, but he was a father with a daughter, and he couldn't have risked his daughter getting involved in the war.

So he had to go home and prepare some necessary supplies...... Then he left Evend with his daughter and went to a fixed village outside the mobile city to live incognito.

As it happens, the elite of the Redcoats have been annihilated by Professor Svetley, and the rest of their main force has now been transferred by the noble forces to attack the mercenary groups and other private forces, but the slums that serve as their lair are not well guarded.

As long as you are careful, you should not be besieged and chased like before.

Walking in the shadows, Cicero walked home to see the interior of his house in shambles, with all kinds of utensils broken, scratches torn off, picture frames torn down, and cabinet doors smashed to reveal empty shelves.

Almost everything of value was taken rudely, which was obviously a good thing done by the gang members.

But it didn't matter, in the mezzanine of the floor, he had placed some food and spare equipment for refuge, as well as well-maintained weapons.

When he ran away before, he felt that it was a mercenary group that went to an acquaintance, and there was no need to bring these extra burdens.

But if you're going outside the city, the better you are.

"Dad, are we back?"

At this moment, feeling the trembling, the girl who was being carried on her back opened her eyes a little tiredly.

She turned her head and saw the familiar decorations around her, and couldn't help but be surprised: "But didn't you say that Dad, we were going to Uncle Ewell's and them?" ”

"Cecilia, we're only coming back temporarily, and we're going to leave again soon."

The man put his daughter on the bed, and he turned around to pry open the floor mezzanine: "Uncle Ewell, they have to take care of themselves, and we can only fend for ourselves. ”

There's nothing to be nostalgic about in the house, especially after being ransacked by gangsters.

The demonizers already live a difficult life, and the exploitation of the gang makes it impossible for these people to accumulate any family wealth.

Thinking of this, Cicero suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, and his heart ached: "My child...... Dad is really sorry for you, he has been making you suffer, and he can't give you a stable life......"

"A child like you should be in class with his peers right now, playing together, enjoying the cool breeze of late autumn, going kite flying, going on an outing...... Instead of running around with my father in the slums, I also contracted the demonic disease......"

The man's voice was heavy and remorseful, and he closed his eyes tightly, as if he was confessing his sins, and as if he wanted to force himself not to shed tears.

But the little girl only yawned, and Cecilia, who had not rested much all day, said in a daze: "That's not bad...... As long as you're with your dad, there's nothing to be afraid of......"

Cecilia clearly didn't care—she was used to suffering.

This child is too young and doesn't know what happiness is, so he is extremely numb to the hard times.

Just like a person who has never seen the light, he naturally disdains the morning light, and he will not know how bright the day really is.

She didn't care.

But the listener clenched his fists.

"Damn...... Demonic disease! ”

Cicero, who opened the floor compartment and took out a few backpacks from it, almost gritted his teeth: "Professor Svetley's channeling technique, can it really suppress demonization?" ”

"My words may have been sick to the bone marrow and could not be contained, but Cecilia ...... If Cecilia really learns, then her future will definitely be happier than my current one! ”

Having experienced too many ups and downs, it is impossible for a man to believe that there is such a simple way to alleviate the symptoms of demonization in this world.

However, he could only believe and had to believe.

Because other than that, he has no choice.

"Okay, ready to go."

Since the supplies had already been prepared, Cicero quickly packed all his luggage - he even prepared a small backpack to carry Cecilia in and on his back, so as not to encounter accidents.

But just then, he heard footsteps outside the house.

Squeak.

The door opened.

"Who is it?!"

At the first moment, Cicero's hair began to rise, and his instinct as a mercenary told him that the strength of the comer was irresistible to him.

The smell of blood was heard, proving that the other party had killed someone not long ago, at least ten minutes ago, or walked through an area covered in blood.

Without hesitation, putting down all the packed luggage, Cicero stepped back with Cecilia for unknown reasons, and retreated to the wall.

While looking for an escape route, he said in a deep voice: "No matter what your purpose is, I will leave you all the things, the price of these materials is not low, even if they are sold on the black market, it is a lot of money - I don't want them all!" ”

But these words had no effect, and the footsteps approached the door gently, and with them came powerful and undisguised fluctuations of source energy.

The moment this source energy fluctuation appeared, Cicero felt desperate - he himself was just a knight of the Spirit Radiance rank, although his strength was good, but in the final analysis, he was only a beginner professional.

Comers...... The one who came was at least the existence of a strong person in the heart light level.

As long as the other party wants to, he can't run away anyway.

- Why? I don't have anything left, why do I have to press it every step of the way?!

Cicero clenched the long knife at his waist at this time, and he took a deep breath, ready to make a final struggle.

And with the sound of footsteps, a shadow appeared in the corner, and came to the door of the room where the Cicero woman was.

When the man saw the face that was half covered by shadows, he couldn't help but grow his mouth, and the long knife in his hand was subconsciously loosened by three points.

"I love the big story, the big setting, and the exciting story."

A calm voice rang out from the shadows.

"I love saving the world, exploring the stars, seeing wonders bigger than the moon on the other side of the galaxy, and seeing landscapes that no one has ever seen before."

"I like to fight against fate and deny established rules, I once transcended reincarnation, slain gods and demons, and fought with ancient heroic spirits and after victory, I made a wish to a true god and changed the trajectory of the future."

"They say that I am the covenant of chaos, the transcendent of reincarnation, the perfection and the one admired by the pioneers—and that I can even be the embodiment of fate for the sake of the good in my heart."

The voice was not unfamiliar, even familiar.

Hearing the voice, Cecilia, who was carried on her father's back, woke up from her dazed sleep, then poked her head out to look at the place where the sound had come from.

"It's just liking it—who would say no to those things?"

The white-haired man stepped out of the shadows, walked slowly, and then stopped in front of a picture frame on the ground that had been shattered.

He leaned over, then picked up the shattered picture frame on the floor.

In the frame is a man and a woman, holding a small baby, laughing heartily in the sun.

Su Sun raised his head, he looked at Cicero and Cecilia - there was no doubt that based on the similarity in appearance, he could be 100% sure that the woman in the photo was Cicero's wife, the girl's mother.

And from Cicero's dim eyes after seeing the photo, it can also be seen that she is dead.

Su Sun put the broken picture frame back on the shelf beside him, he wiped the dust away, and then turned his head to look at the silent man.

"But, talking about the world, far away, right and still has a future."

He chuckled and laughed at himself: "At the end of the day, I'm just a guy who can't walk at all when he sees someone sad and sad." ”

Su Sun raised his head, and he looked at the man who knelt down subconsciously.

"Your name?" He asked calmly.

“…… Cicero. He replied with a shudder.

"Very well, Cicero."

Walking to the center of the room with his hands in his hand, Su Sun smiled and nodded to Cecilia, who was smiling and waving to him, then turned his head again and said to the man who was kneeling in front of him, not knowing whether he was excited or frightened: "If I said that my goal is to save the world, you will definitely think I am crazy." ”

"No ......"

Asked by name, the father, who had just been saved, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Not necessarily, Professor...... If it's you, if it's ......"

"Well, I think so too."

didn't let Cicero finish his words, Su Sun nodded, and naturally agreed: "If it were me, I would definitely be able to save the world." ”

In the other party's eyes that didn't know how to answer, he said calmly: "But this can't save mankind." ”

"Defeating the enemy, killing the culprit, cutting off the root of evil, I'm good at that kind of thing - I've always done it, and I've never missed it."

Su Sun stood in front of Cicero, he clenched his fists and made a loud voice: "But how to restore the demonizer to normal, so that the discrimination between people can be dissolved invisibly, and let the demonization, which should be a good thing but turn into a bad thing, becomes a 'blessing' in the true sense." ”

"It's not something that can be done overnight, and it's not something that can be done by one person, just like I can kill Earl Arvind, but I can't make the whole city of Arvind peaceful and fraternal."

"So, Cicero, I need your help."

"Professor, I, what can I do?"

In the face of the sudden appearance of Su Sun, Cicero was not only uneasy and subconsciously afraid, but also excited in his heart—an expectation that he had finally reached a turning point and could finally change the established future.

And this expectation comes from the daughter he is carrying behind his back.

Su Sun saw through this expectation, so he came over and found him.

"Help me attract more people to practice the cultivation I have given you."

He said lightly, but Cicero opened his mouth slightly, and he raised his hand a little confused and pointed to himself: "Me? But I'm just an ordinary person...... How can I attract more people......"

It's not that Cicero doesn't want to, it's that he genuinely thinks he can't do it.

Even when he was a mercenary, he had never led a team, nor had he ever thought of being a captain or leader.

In other words, his leadership rating should be a failing grade.

Who will let him attract more people?

"It doesn't matter."

But Su Yan spoke, and the white-haired professor's tone was ancient: "There are two ways to attract more people, the first is to show your own special and abnormal, and become a unique and strange object in the eyes of others, and want to worship." “

"The vast majority of human beings are confused, weak and powerless, they need the guidance of an idol to make their hearts no longer empty and empty, they will follow those who are strong, identify the dreams of the strong as their dreams, and fight with the strong - this is not a bad thing, because this is also the process of human learning, there will be new strong people who will realize their ideas in the process of following others, and then lead others."

"I'm good at that, but you're not."

"Cicero, you are the second type, because you are ordinary, weak, and caring, so everyone knows that you are like them, you can believe, just like you believe in yourself."

"I need you to turn into an ordinary fire and set the world on fire."

"Tinder......" the man whispered to himself, as if he felt he understood something, but he didn't understand anything.

He had heard that the nobles had sneered at them, the demons, who were essentially the fuel of the world, making the world burn—he could not understand the true meaning of this fuel then, and he does not understand it now.

But now, Cicero could clearly distinguish that the fire and fuel in the mouth of the nobles were not the same thing as the fire in the mouth of Professor Svetley.

The burning in the mouths of both sides is obviously not the same ignition.

Even, diametrically opposed.

"Cicero, the city of Arvind is about to be destroyed by the Empire, and I just killed Count Arvind, which is bound to bring a wave of complete reckoning—against the demonizers, and even the entire city of Arvind."

Casually saying the news that was enough to shock the whole city, Su Sun stared at Cicero's eyes that were obviously shaken in front of him: "I don't regret doing this, because if you don't do this, you demons, and even those ordinary people who seem to be living a normal life, will be burned to ashes." ”

"Cicero."

Raising his voice, Su Day's tone became stern, which instantly made the man subconsciously straighten his body: "You have a daughter, you have a burden, you must have care and love, so you are the most realistic, you can't be attracted by grand dreams, you just want a stable life." ”

"But I'm going to tell you, these things will be gone—happiness is an illusion, and if you don't fight and rise up, death is the only end."

"In the future, the barbarians in the north will break through the Yanshuang Pass and drive straight into the corridor of the north and south plains, and the world will be in chaos, and I will guide you on a path."

Saying this, Su Sun stretched out his hand, and the Source Energy Long Knife that was originally held by Cicero flew into his hand.

The man raised his palm and wiped it over it, and when he landed, the inscription inheritance that was originally engraved on the spine of the knife changed slightly—it became simpler and easier to understand, and because Su Sun devoured the soul of dusk, its ability to purify soul impurities became stronger.

Then, Su Sun handed back the long knife that had undergone the second correction and was engraved with the Soul Purification Channeling Method called [Ember Fire 0.89 Beta].

"Take some of the people you think are worth bringing with you, and let them practice the secret method I gave you like you, and leave the city and lurk in the fixed village."

"Don't be stingy, don't hide your secrets, if someone wants to steal it, give them the most complete version - spread this practice, and also have ideas, develop their own group among the many demons in the fixed village, lead the fixed village, surround the mobile city, and gradually let the shadow of this practice appear in the mobile city."

"Cicero, don't you want your daughter to live normally and without discrimination?"

"That's the way."

"The road without discrimination...... Cicero took the long knife in his hand in a daze, he stared at the long knife in his hand, which became more holy and powerful, and couldn't help muttering: "The path that can make Cecilia happier......"

Staring at this scene, Su Sun turned around.

"And, remember."

With his back to Cicero, who was still kneeling, he whispered, "Stand up, don't kneel." ”

"This has to be the last time."

Su Sun left Cicero's house.

And in the slum that had just been cleared, the flint of all the remaining members of the Red Coats was waiting for him at the door.

【…… Will this be successful? 】

The mechanical human was silent for a moment, then looked inside.

Master Suiguang could see that the strength of the man in the house was not strong, and his ambition was not firm, and his talent was even more average, not to mention that compared to geniuses, even Seneca in the orphanage was more talented than him.

"He's just a tinder, and as long as the spark ignites a fire, it's a success."

Su Sun walked outside and saw the corpses of many members of the Red Gang falling down the street, their filthy demonic souls had begun to gradually dissipate, but what was even more filthy than the soul was the hearts of these people who regarded their fellow kind as animals.

"I'm confident in my self-developed channeling technique, and no demonizer can refuse - and without a cannibalistic instinct, the vast majority of demonizers are not bad, or even capable of evil."

"As long as Cicero begins to publicize this technique to the outside world, and continues to publicize it, making it impossible to hide smuggling, then its popularity will become inevitable."

"As long as they practice, they will understand that demonization is not a disease, but an uncontrollable blessing - a blessing that can make ordinary people become transcendent and allow everyone to master power."

Speaking of this, Su Sun's eyes narrowed, and he raised his head and looked around the entire city of Avende.

Now, the rebellion of the demons is gradually coming to an end - the noble guards have suppressed most of the rioters, and they should have executed the rioters on the spot, but the death of Count Arvinder has disrupted the ranks of the Imperial Guards, and now the entire city is in chaos.

"Strength, can be suppressed."

Looking at all this, Su Tian said lightly: "But knowledge and thought can't help it - instead of me going to kill those evil nobles one by one, it is better to hand over knowledge and fishing nets to those oppressed, and they will naturally light up sparks, gain strength, create a new era, and create a new order." ”

【…… He is worthy of being the mentor of the rebels of the former Frost Empire. 】

Master Suiguang opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed: [Let the demonizer understand that he is not infected with a terminal illness that will die, but a blessing that he can safely gain power...... In the absence of cannibalistic impulses and symptoms of madness, demonic disease is indeed a good thing. 】

There is no doubt that this will radically change the order of the world.

What are we going to do next? 】

"Back to the affairs of the First Yaoship-Avander City, there is no need for us to interfere anymore."

Cicero had already led Cecilia out of the slum - and after hesitating for a long time, he still led the people to the area where the theoretically more dangerous mercenary group was located.

At this moment, Su Sun and Suiguang also walked out of the slum from the other direction.

They came to the gap where the First Glory struck the wall of Avend.

It was still empty, the high concentration of source energy radiation, and the horrific destruction scene made all the natives afraid to approach, and the Earl's guards were terrified by the Earl's death, so naturally no one would come here to interfere.

Standing on the gap, Su Yan was about to leave the city where Professor Svetley had lived for more than ten years, and he was not reluctant in his heart, presumably the original Professor Svetley was the same.

"Although it is only a corner, the darkness of this world has been revealed."

Raising his head, he looked in the direction of the departure of the Chu Yao Ship, and said in a calm tone: "Count Aviander is definitely a very important pawn of the Emperor, and his death will set off a great tide in the south...... Without our intervention, the wind will sweep across the entire continent of Aion. ”

"Now, what we have to do is to ensure our own safety, increase our strength, and find out the truth behind the dark curtain of this world."

Speaking of this, Su Yan paused, and he suddenly frowned.

"Wait......"

As if thinking of something, the man whispered to himself: "Mobile ships and mobile cities all rely on the source energy furnace to have such a huge amount of energy to operate. ”

"And the source energy furnace of the empire needs the soul as an additive."

"The Chuyao Ship is much larger than ordinary mobile warships, and it can continue to operate continuously for nearly 10,000 years, and it is still intact and does not need to be recharged—what is the principle of its source energy furnace?!"

Thinking of this, Su Sun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that I really have to go back and ask about the situation as soon as possible." ”

With that, he jumped down and fell towards the barren land beneath the mobile city.

It's like a meteor falling from the sky.

And the flint light followed the man, just like the name of the Light Chaser Order.

Immediately after, they galloped off into the distance.

……

A few hours later, Su Day, who had returned to the Chuyao ship, immediately asked the question of Dawn, who was welcoming the two back.

"Huh?"

Regarding Su Day's question about the Origin Energy Furnace Heart of the Chu Yao Ship, the half-goblin sitting on the captain's work couldn't help but show a confused look.

She looked at Su Sun suspiciously, then at the flint standing on the side, and wondered: "Could it be that the source energy furnace heart of this era is different from the previous eras?" ”

"The First Shine and the First Shine...... What is the first ray of light in this world? ”

"The core of the heart of the source energy furnace that can bring endless energy, of course, is the fragment of the falling of the Holy Sun, the blessing of all the saints, the 'First Glory Holy Rock'!"
