Chapter 39: The Chosen Sacrifice (6800)

[Compared with the plateau period, the energy spillover index of Shengri source is 91.37%, and the average annual decrease is 0.47%]

[The frequency of the Magic Moon outbreak changes frequently and irregularly, and it is impossible to summarize the data, but a strong activation phenomenon can be observed, and it is necessary to be vigilant against large-scale ecological changes]

[The schematic diagram of the source energy solubility of each region of the Ai'an continent is as follows: 54.1 in the central region, 46.7 in the southern region, 77.2 in the northern region, and 48.3 in the eastern region...... The source energy concentration in the northern region has increased abnormally, and there is an abnormal movement in the Sealed Moon, which is suspected to be a precursor to the unsealing of the Dragon of Dusk.

At the top of the majestic mountain-like tower, in the center of the majestic crystallization hall, a young man who looked like he was in the prime of his youth stood in front of countless light curtains that appeared and disappeared, indifferent.

One by one, the extremely detailed data information that seemed extremely confidential to the outside world appeared like a waterfall at this moment, and then dissipated with the will of the teenager.

The pale gold mixed with the crimson brilliance burned throughout the dome, and it was the background color of the light curtain, and the burning color filled the hall.

"What is the Burning Flame Resonance Rate now?" He asked, his voice hoarse and calm, "Where's the charge?" ”

[The resonance rate of the Burning Flame Torch is 44.3%, and it is now charged to 5.94%]

[Now connected to the Imperial Source Energy Furnace Hub Network, the soul essence process is underway, and the Burning Flame is intact, ready to carry out the 'Rekindling' plan.] 】

"No, I can't. It's too early. ”

Shaking his head slightly, the blonde young man dressed in gorgeous clothes said: "And the speed is too slow, even if the souls of those construction demons are liquidated together, there is no way to fill one ten-thousandth." ”

"If there were no war, even if those demonic people who relied on the support of many mobile cities kept burning and filling, they would have been charged less than six percent of their energy over the years."

"The resonance rate is not a big problem, the fifth Primordial Sacred Rock has been brought, and it should be able to increase the resonance rate to more than fifty percent. If you get the Barbarians of the Northlands and the Primordial Sacred Rock in the East China Sea, more than sixty percent will not be a problem. ”

The blonde boy was slender, his expression was indifferent and arrogant, and the complicated court robes wrapped around him, but he did not feel the slightest elegance that should be deserved, but had a sense of threat like a fierce predator, seemingly thin, but in fact extremely dangerous.

But if the observer were a hunter who fought and killed all year round, then he would be keenly aware that there was another reason for the slender body of the blonde boy, and the body tightly wrapped in court robes did not have the texture of ordinary human flesh, but more like ...... Wooden dolls.

"War ......"

The Sun Emperor, Asmodee XIII, closed his eyes, stood in the center of the hall at the top of the Tower of Babel, and whispered to himself: "Necessary war." ”

He wanted to continue mbling to himself for a while, thinking about some follow-ups, but when he noticed something, His Majesty turned his head and looked behind him.

"Akhalonov, why are you here?"

In the same tone as the previous indifferent and indifferent tone, the Sun Emperor's tone was surprised, cordial and casual, like a friendly request between friends: "What's the matter, is there something to report, or do you just want to simply come and see me?" ”

The white-haired old general stood at the entrance of the hall, he looked quite tired at the moment, but hearing the cordial greetings of his majesty and his friends, Ahaloonov couldn't help laughing: "Both, Your Majesty, you haven't left the Tower of Babel in recent months, and we naturally want to pay a visit." ”

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but shake his head again: "Alas, you behave so fiercely and brutally outside every time, no wonder you will be regarded as a tyrant by them." ”

"But I'm a tyrant, and you're just a friend of mine and you have a filter in your eyes."

The blond-haired young man laughed, his voice still hoarse: "However, I am indeed different from ordinary tyrants, and my cruelty is not directed against some people, but against all beings in the world of Aion. ”

Akhalonov sighed lightly: "In order to keep more people alive, isn't it?" ”

"At least for now."

The Sun Emperor could not deny it, and he invited the old general to come to his side and watch with him the light curtain message in the entire Babel hall: "Say, what happened? Why didn't Ilovice come with you? ”

"Irowice is not fit to know these things, he is too kind, too moral, and will inevitably stop us."

Akhalonov stood beside his majesty, and for a moment, he felt that he had returned to the time when he was still a little knight and roamed the world with princes and friends who were not yet princes.

But soon, the memories of this moment dissipated, and the general said solemnly: "There are some things about the second salary king designated by the salary king, the East China Sea Chuyao Holy Rock, and the demonizer. ”

Akhalonov recounted what Professor Svetley had done in the East China Sea, as well as all the information that followed.

"Your Majesty, you must already know this information, but the follow-up information about the Xiguang Association is the latest news reported by our investigators."

He summed it up this way.

The Sun Emperor frowned and pondered, then nodded slightly: "Demonizer?" If you think about it, the recent increase in oppression will indeed lead to resistance. ”

Even though Su Yan repeatedly emphasized that the concept of the Xiguang Association was 'all beings are equal', their main point was on the demonizers.

Not only that, but even the demonizers who came to the place seemed to not understand human speech at all, as if they felt that the Xiguang Society was founded for them.

Until now, no ordinary person is even willing to come and join the Xiguang Society.

But that's not surprising.

Although Su Sun was talking about equality, in the Aion world, the fact that he was willing to treat the demons equally was the most amazing preferential treatment.

From the Sun Emperor to civilians, from demons to ordinary people, everyone thinks so, and tacitly acquiesces that this is the norm and correctness.

Professor Svetley...... As I remember, his father was infected with demonic madness at the time of the Red Moon of the Demon Moon, and was killed by the gendarmes on the spot. ”

He closed his eyes and seemed to be extracting the database: "Well, that's right, he also adopted a lot of demonized orphans after leaving the rebels, obviously empathic, it is not surprising that he will support the demonizers, and it can even be said that it is a matter of course." ”

"Your Majesty."

At this moment, Akhalonov looked sideways at the Sun Emperor, and he solemnly admonished: "For the sake of the future of mankind, the suppression of the demons is an indispensable evil, but if the demons are so indignant that they want to revolt en masse, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

"It's true that the Empire isn't doing enough in this regard, and we should learn from the advanced experience of the Seaside Capital, and assign demonizers to positions that seem to pay well, but are actually extremely dangerous and costly...... In this way, whether it is efficiency or public sentiment, it can be taken care of! ”

Soldiers should not interfere in politics, Akhalonov knew that what he had done had exceeded his duty as a courtier, but at this moment, he was not advising as a courtier, but as a friend of the past hundred years.

"I understand."

And Asmodee XIII naturally did not pose any imperial posture to his true friend, he opened his eyes and stared at the crystal hall that seemed to be burning in front of him, and the light of the First Dawn Holy Rock on his chest became even brighter: "But friend, I can't do this. ”

"This world, this society, needs demons as 'oppressed'."

"The people need a class lower than themselves to exert their own malice."

"They need to let themselves know that no matter how bad they are, they will not fall to that point, and they will never fall to that point - this irreplaceable sense of security will make ordinary people who are a hundred times more stable than the demons, and more aware of the beauty of their current life."

The Sun Emperor stretched out his hand, and he clicked and extracted an image from the waterfall-like refreshed sea of information, which was a three-dimensional model of an ancient village, with a rudimentary ancient source energy circle in the center of the village.

The young man pointed to the center of the circle, then turned his head sideways and said in an intriguing tone, "Look, my general, do you know what this is?" ”

“…… I do not know. The white-haired old man narrowed his eyes, he observed it carefully, and then shook his head in confusion: "It's too simple, although it can cause a certain amount of pain, but it seems to be a little difficult to kill people...... No, there seems to be some life-sustaining parts? ”

He really couldn't understand it.

"This is the human sacrifice circle."

The Sun Emperor calmly explained: "In the villages of the barbarians in the western mountains, there is an ancient custom that when the village is in trouble and times are difficult, the elders will select the most uncared for, the weakest and unloved fellow from the village, and make him a pillar as a sacrifice to bear the resentment of all the villagers. ”

"Anyone can torture him, anyone can spit on him, he is the embodiment of evil, a representative of pain, as long as you trample on the life of this human pillar, it means that you have trampled on pain."

"In this way, just by looking at him and torturing him, the people of the village can regain their courage and determination to face the more difficult times ahead."

Turning his head sideways, Asmodey XIII's eyes turned slightly to look at the silent general, more like something inhuman than human.

He whispered, "The Demon Transformer is the human pillar and sacrifice of our world. ”

"They're the chosen special beings."

"Demons cannot live happily, they cannot enjoy a good life, they must be hard, miserable, poor, ignorant, ignorant, and can only struggle powerlessly. They cannot be equal, because then they cannot draw strength from their suffering and endure the difficult times ahead. ”

"The seaside capital is the wrong way, they are stable now because they live in abundance, and that can suppress a lot of contradictions. And when the Holy Day is extinguished, who will trade, who will give his wealth to that city? The contradictions between the demons and the ordinary will tear apart the rule of the Falses family, who have reached a dead end. ”

Humanity is the most compromising, and if it were to be said at the beginning that all mankind would endure the near-inhuman treatment of the Dark Ages when the Holy Day was approaching, then no one would agree, not even to death.

But if they see the demons, and see the human beings who are not even as good as animals, they will compromise again, thinking that the demons will be worse than them no matter what, and their own fate will be far better than that of the demons.

Pavlov's dog only.

The Sun Emperor raised his head, he looked from the top of the tower, as if he could see the misty mountain range on the other side of the continent, the Xiguang Tower, he seemed to be able to see the city of the Demons who had set off from the edge of the southern border and officially embarked on the long road.

He saw the sparks, the light, the sea of fire destined to burn in the future, and the countless stars twinkling on the earth.

So, extinguish it now.

"Now that the Demons have their own 'army', they can't let the Demons have their own cities and bases."

With his hands behind his back, at this moment, Asmodey XIII's tone returned to its original indifference and calmness, and he no longer spoke as a friend, but as an emperor, he ordered: "Admiral Akhalonov, who killed the criminals of our nobles, Professor Svetley has established his own base in the Misty Mountains, this is no longer a simple riot, but a real rebellion, a rebel army of demons. ”

"This demon army has already caused a commotion among many demonizers in the empire, and if it is not stopped now, then the demonizers who have now accepted their fate will burn - as long as they have tasted equality, no human will give up on it, even if it has been domesticated for thousands of years, this nature cannot be erased."

He ordered: "General, extinguish it." Trample the seeds of the demon army into mud. ”

And the white-haired admiral was half-kneeling on the ground, and he bowed towards his emperor and respectfully accepted the will.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The general, who received the order, left the Tower of Babel.

And the blonde boy was still staring at the light curtain that showed almost all the important information in the entire continent.

"Tower of Babel, data."

[Yes, Your Majesty. Compared with the plateau period, the energy spillover index of Shengri source was 91.36%, and the average annual decrease was 0.47%......]

……

In addition to the Empire, other forces on the Aion Continent are also interested in the establishment of the Xiguang Society and the changes in the Demon City.

Northland, Sunset Tribe.

Between the valleys filled with ice, snow, wind and frost, there was a whole shouting drill, and the sound of blades breaking through the air sounded, with a piercing whistling.

The Great Chief Dalot, who was stronger than the beast, stood in front of a group of young tribesmen, although these young people were in the frost of dozens of degrees below zero, and the corners of their eyebrows and temples were full of ice, but they did not shiver at all because of the cold, but skillfully fought each other with weapons, pulling out a blurred figure on the frozen ground.

Sou!

The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and in the crowd, a figure was particularly athletic, and he swung a long-handled axe, causing the giant axe to tear through the air and make a sonic boom.

The tribal boy who was training against the black-haired young man didn't react, and he was already detonated and frightened, but the giant axe that tore through the wind and frost didn't really cut off, but stayed ten centimeters above the opponent's head.

"Are you alright?"

Retracting the giant axe, the black-haired boy asked with concern, and the frightened tribal boy slowly recovered, he waved his hand a little ashamedly: "Hey, Kama, you are really getting stronger and stronger, I am really not an opponent, I can't be your sparring ......"

"Next autumn hunt, you can definitely harvest a full warehouse of prey with the big chieftain and them!"

The brunette boy wanted to say more to his friend, but a tall figure came up to him.

"Yes, Kama, and Madara."

Dalot stood in front of the two teenagers and praised: "The inheritance of the Great Snake resonates with you very highly, and you are rapidly becoming stronger. And Madara, you can still go to the inheritance of Carlo after a few tricks before revealing the flaws, if it weren't for the fact that you are still young, I am afraid you can also try to go to the Ancestral Stone to try and get your own inheritance. ”

The Great Chief's praise was naturally a great honor for the children of the tribe, and Madara couldn't help but sweep away the depression of losing to Kama and became happy.

Of course, he also knew that he was redundant now, the Wolf of the Devourer and the Serpent of the World, the most powerful of the Winter's Twilight Tribe cluster, second only to the High Priest of Dusk, the inheritor of the Evening Dragon Inheritance met, and he, the child who had not yet obtained the power of the ancestors, should leave early.

After Madara retreated, Dalot looked at the body of the young man in front of him.

He nodded, and said solemnly, "Your talent is better than mine, Kama." I will say to the priests that after my death, you will be the new Great Chief. ”

"No, Chief, I want to follow you forever......"

As soon as he heard this, the young man who thought that he was just receiving the supervision and teaching experience alone was a little panicked, Dalot was his idol, even if he received the most powerful inheritance of the world-destroying serpent, this tribal boy never felt that he could surpass the other party.

It suddenly seemed like yes

"I'm going to die."

And the Great Chief of the Northland Barbarian said with a smile, he stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, and the huge force even caused the snow and dust under Kama's feet to shake up, and drifted in all directions: "We will eventually have a war with the empire and the whole world, and I am the Great Chief, I will always die first." ”

Looking at the young man's somewhat confused eyes in front of him, Dalot smiled again, and his gaze at the other party was full of softness.

He had no children. Perhaps, after all, the relationship between men and women in the tribe is so complicated, who knows whose child? Except for the priests, who need to determine their offspring and ensure that their offspring can breed professionals with strong source energy talents, the other tribesmen are not so strict.

For the Great Chief, all the young people in the tribe are his children.

But soon, Dalot was serious again.

"Kama, what is your reason for living?"

He asked.

"Lead everyone to live, fight out of the snowfield, and kill all those imperial guys!"

He replied.

The young man didn't think twice, and his tone was full of resentment: "Mother, Arnau, and Uncle Tai all died at the hands of the imperial invaders...... Obviously, if there was no cold plague, we would not go out to raid, but they come to harass us regularly every year, and they want to blame the Yanshuang. ”

"Although the Yanshuang killed many of us, we did rob their food and kill their people, and it is fair that the Great Dragon testifies - but the Imperial ones...... We obviously didn't rob them......"

The boy clenched his fists. This is the logic and thinking of the Northland tribesmen, they do not hate those who fight with them, just as they do not hate to kill their prey, because on this land, everyone is the prey of others, and no one should feel that they can stay out of it.

They hate, they hate those Imperials who are obviously not for survival, but still kill, still intent on provoking the Northland barbarians and the Yanshuang Army to fight, and ensure the stability of the northern border.

- Nothingness is truth.

But life was still born.

- Life is meaningless.

But there is a human heart.

Every Northland person will choose a belief as a reason for their own survival, rather than throwing themselves into the Void Dragon, and their whole life is for this meaning, far stronger than any oath, any faith.

"Good."

Hearing the answer he wanted, although he was not so satisfied, Dalot still smiled: "Very good, Karma, if we can all work together like this, then no one can stop us." ”

"Exercise well, child, and don't let down the blood of the serpent in you, which is greedy and thirsty for life, and turns this desire into a driving force."

"Our purpose is to burn the whole world!"

With that, Dalot turned away, leaving Karma to look at his back adoringly.

However, when he returned to the Great Chief of the Tribe, he received unexpected news.

"Oh?"

He raised an eyebrow: "The strange guy who defeated our messenger and got the Burning Divine Tree and the Holy Day Shard...... Ran to the misty mountains to buy, built up their own forces and army? ”

"It's another strange rebel army, the Imperial Yankees just don't want the people, and they deserve it."

He summed it up, and then looked in the direction of the Mist Mountains: "Send a messenger over and ask if you would like to fight the Empire with them, we northerners don't mind burning the whole world with others." ”

"The fury of the demons is extraordinary, they are also suppressed by the Empire, and we can join forces."

He made a decision.

Frost Army.

In the depths of the General's Mansion, a pair of dark purple eyes lit up in the darkness.

"You mean, the guy who stole our Holy Day Crystals has the Divine Tree in his hands? He also planted the sacred tree alive, and now it is glowing on the top of the mountain? ”

A sonorous and powerful male voice sounded, as if gold and iron were intertwining, with a thick doubt.

But soon, the voice burst out laughing: "Interesting, interesting, what a wonderful development, what an interesting thing!" ”

In the dark mansion, wisps of crimson blood light lit up, with sheep's horns on his head, a large black snake crawling on his knees, and a dark aura lingering all over his body, and the general in solid armor slowly stood up.

The man, who obviously had devilish blood, whispered to himself: "Although I had a premonition that the heavens and the earth were about to change drastically, I never thought that there would be such an interesting thing. ”

"Pass my orders, I want to know that Svetley, and all the information of the Xiguang Society!"

Every organization on the continent was busy because of Su Day's existence.

The Light-Chaser Order, which is still meeting and discussing, the Holy Day Church, which is holding a celebration at the beginning of the year, the nobles of the East China Sea who are in a hurry, and the nobles of the Southern Realm who are in chaos...... Without exception, the eyes of the world converge here, in the middle of the Xiguang Mountains.

And Su Sun stood at the top of the Xiguang Tower, his eyes narrowed, staring at the horizon far away from the earth.

"A pioneer explorer?"

He recalled the information revealed by Cicero, who had been given the Ember Flame Channeling Technique by himself not long ago, when he reported the situation to him, and couldn't help but shake his head: "It's really weird, the situation is getting more and more complicated now, how many great beings are there in this world?" ”

"Yara, Twilight, World Tree, Herald, these are a few that can be determined, others may exist, but I haven't found them yet."

Funiya did lead the demons of the southern realm to accomplish great things, but just by listening, Su Sun could know that there could be such an out-of-tune and destructive existence of the painting style, there must be no doubt that he was an explorer of the pioneer space.

God's special Hummer audio brainwashed and spread, posted big-character posters and pulled banners...... With this rich experience in making trouble, there is no other possibility except for this group of great pests of the multiverse.

If he wants to change Su Day, Su Sun feels that his brain is not so big - at most, he will build an empty boat, and then pull a big banner in the empty court.

And the other party's choice to act in a high-profile manner in order to explore the potential secrets of the world is undoubtedly correct...... As long as everyone knows herself, whether it is herself or other hidden powerful beings in this world, they will cast their eyes on her.

Naturally, she will also be perceived, discovered, and explored.

One of the classic pioneer acts.

Su Sun is not surprised that the Pioneer Explorer will appear in the world of Aion. No, in other words, pioneer explorers can appear at any time.

Among the worlds that Su Yan has been to, there are in the earth, the Nine Xuan Realm, the Shenmu World, and the Reincarnation World, and the Shenlong World can almost be said to have it, so it is strange that the world structure of the Shenlong in another world can be easily summoned, and it is strange not to be intervened by the pioneers.

Except for the Perfect World, which is a special one, which is the Primordial World, there are footprints of pioneer explorers in almost any world.

"Although the pioneer explorer is relatively easy to make trouble, I have to say that I like the mess she made."

Thinking about the small mobile city that was captured by Funia, Su Sun, who knew that the other party was moving in the direction of his location, couldn't help but smile and nodded: "It's just that this will inevitably be intercepted by someone...... Looks like I'm going to find a time to go out and pick them up. ”

"Still."

Lowering his head, Su Sun looked at the outskirts of the Xiguang Mountain Range, those very hidden figures that were lurking, thinking they were hiding.

Materialized black malice emerges from the top of their heads.

He shook his head slightly.

"You have to clean up all the garbage around your house first."
