Chapter 65 Hidden secrets
Return to Onik and face the vast ruins left after the collapse of the Rain Kingdom.

Xia Zhi also had some thoughts in his mind.

However, when he cast his eyes on Vivian beside him, he noticed that her face was as calm as a lake, without any ripples. Perhaps, the crying and release that night had allowed her to completely vent the emotions hidden deep in her heart.

True strength is to embrace the future and acknowledge reality, rather than immersing yourself in sadness.

After all, the past is a fact that is hard to reverse.

Xia Zhi also asked about this matter. Since this world allows multiple cycles to exist, why not try to go back in time to an earlier point to save the Rain Clan from the water... However, the answer is that it is impossible.

Because that is a past that has already been determined, and it is also a time point that cannot be changed.

Vivian explained that the origin of the "multiple rounds" of the fairy kingdom was due to Morgan's intervention in the past in pan-human history. Otherwise, her fate should have ended like that of many of her people on that cold, bloody night of genocide.

It was because of that change in outcome that Vivian was able to survive that night, and from this a new historical trajectory was derived...

The reason why this changing history was able to take shape is that in the original world line, after she died on the night of the genocide, a great disaster broke out the following year. No one could resist the disaster, and Britain was destroyed.

It wasn't until four thousand years later that Morgan from pan-human history came to this strange zone...

This means that there was a long blank period of four thousand years in between, which was exactly the state without history...

It is precisely the existence of the fantasy tree that provides the possibility of filling this gap. It has the ability to calculate history, simulate history, run history, and ultimately evolve history into a predetermined conclusion output...

Precisely because it is called "fantasy", history allows for the existence of ambiguity and deviation.

This series of events that seem to be linked together actually constitutes a cycle. The snake of time has bitten its own tail tightly, and the nodes of the beginning and the end are thus fixed. Only these two nodes need to be maintained very carefully.

"Let's stop here. The carriages ahead can't pass. I'm going to ring the bell now—"

Vivian asked all the familiars to stop. She saw the ruins ahead from the window and knew that the target was not far ahead.

"Then let's go..."

Xia Zhi then stood up and calmly suggested: "Why not let them go together? We can use this opportunity to let them have a deeper understanding of the whole process of Onik's decline and fall. This will allow us to do both internal and external publicity at the same time, achieving twice the result with half the effort..."

The so-called internal propaganda is to win the heartfelt recognition of team members. After all, these people are real family members. If they can sincerely agree with the team's decision, it will undoubtedly be the most powerful cohesive force, which is more powerful than any command and interest drive.

And this goal is also very likely to be achieved. After all, there is no one in the entire team who is born evil, and the ideology is relatively consistent.

This was also the result of Xia Zhi's deliberate actions. Even when summoning servants and recruiting employees, he would subconsciously pass up those guys who were too chaotic and evil... Although he himself was not an absolutely good person, he definitely did not want to be surrounded by evil people.

As for external publicity, it is of course a publicity strategy targeting the Master of Chaldea, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Fight for her, win her over, divide her...

This direction had already been determined earlier, especially after a brief exchange with the lady, Xia Zhi was more certain of the girl's kind nature. This meant that the stronger the contrast between good and evil, the more it would inspire her distinct sense of right and wrong.

There is no doubt that——

Onik's story happens to be an excellent promotional focus.

The innocence and kindness of the Rain Country and its tragic ending further highlight the evil nature of those despicable fairies... This is like a heavy hammer, which is bound to hit Fujimaru Ritsuka's cognitive world violently, causing a striking crack in her original inherent concepts.

The so-called kind goblins are pure nonsense...

Tyranny is not real tyranny, but the law that suits them best; if the tone of rule is not set strictly and any leeway is left, they will only use this tolerance to abuse and oppress others.

All I can say is that their thoughts are completely worthy of their suffering...

Vivian didn't refute, but just nodded slightly.

She scoffed at what Ritsuka Fujimaru had said that night about the kindness and innocence of the fairies.

Now is a good opportunity to let that ignorant girl see what kind of ugly faces those kind-hearted fairies mentioned by the other party are hiding and what kind of shocking crimes they have committed.

There was faint thunder and a cloudy sky.

Onik is located in the north, and it rains 360 days a year, and today is also the rainy day. Before I knew it, dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning flashed between the gaps in the clouds, like a huge dragon lurking deep in the clouds, tumbling and moving, revealing its flashing scales from time to time.

"where is this place?"

Walking among the ruins, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt the air as if a storm was about to come, and looked around with some curiosity.

The dilapidated buildings around are huge, as if many people once lived here. It is already endless from the outside. Now that you have actually walked into this complex, it took a long time to reach the end.

There are still endless ruins ahead. At first glance, it looks empty and lonely, without any sign of life.

The young man did not turn around as he walked, but just spoke in a leisurely tone: "This is the Rain Country, which was once the territory of the Rain Clan... Those fairies still lived on this land two months ago."

"..."

"..."

"Huh? You were still living here two months ago? Fujimaru Ritsuka fell into a brief contemplation, looked around at the devastated environment again, and asked in confusion: "Why are they gone now? Did something happen?"

She originally thought that this was an ancient relic, with clumps of grass and moss growing among the broken walls, and many things showing signs of decay - at least in the eyes of an unprofessional person, the girl would naturally think that it had a long history.

However, she never expected that everything that happened before her eyes happened only two months ago?
The error in judging the time is not surprising. What is really curious is what kind of changes the Rain Clan encountered.

"Something did happen that led to the massacre of the Rain Clan by other clans. All members of the clan were killed...only Jian managed to escape." The young man stopped, turned his head and stared at her. After pondering for a moment, he slowly told the truth.

"Killed by other clans, all of them?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was dumbfounded, "Miss Ash was the only one who managed to escape?"

When these words were spoken, the rest of the team members were stunned. Even Index, who joined the team the earliest, was only hearing this shocking news for the first time.

After all, when the little nun joined the team, Vivian had already gradually come out of her grief. She no longer talked about the bloody memories day after day, deliberately exaggerating the bitterness and hatred.

Tetrot frowned tightly. When she knew that Ash was a fairy from Paradise, she had already thought of this. She was also extremely disgusted with the massacre that her clan had participated in not long ago.

But it was not until she came to Onik and faced the horrific crime scene that she realized more deeply how despicable the massacre was.

"That's what happened. Within one night, the four clans - Wind, Earth, Fang, and Wing - joined forces to launch a surprise attack. Without declaring war, they completely killed all the fairies of the Rain Clan. Not a single one was left alive."

Xia Zhi nodded calmly in confirmation, his fingers lightly sweeping across the surroundings: "If it weren't for the princess of the Rain Clan disguising herself as Jian and stepping forward to die in her place, Jian probably wouldn't have been able to escape..."

"How is this possible..." Fujimaru Ritsuka blurted out, then realized his mistake and quickly added: "I mean, why would other clans do such a thing?"

Her first reaction was that it was impossible.

Soon after she entered the Fairy Kingdom, she already knew the four clans of Wind, Earth, Fang, and Wing. Under the King's Clan, the ordinary fairies who were tortured by the tyrannical rule were basically the fairies from these four clans.

These four major clans constitute the main body of the "kind fairies" in her mind. These fairies are innocent and pure, sinless and kind, but they suffer persecution because of this kindness. Almost every fairy is like this, which makes people feel pity when they see them.

Such a pure and kind people——

How could he turn into an executioner who joined forces to slaughter other clans and cruelly committed acts of genocide?

"Because Ash is a fairy from paradise, what other reason could there be..." Tetrot interrupted at the right time. She stared at the blonde girl in front of her with a complex expression on her face, and an indescribable feeling of guilt.

"That's right, so I'm telling you now so that you can be mentally prepared..."

Xia Zhi took a deep breath and spoke carefully, as if he was worried that everyone was not alert enough: "Although we are going to save the fairies in Britain next, the greatest danger also comes from the fairies. After we save them, they will definitely turn against us and kill us..."

"..."

"..."

"how come……"

Ritsuka Fujimaru bit his lower lip tightly, with doubts and confusion in his heart. There must be some hidden story behind this, right?

Could it be——

Is there a deeper, outrageous reason behind the Rain Clan's decision to take in Miss Ash?

Is there some unknown threat hidden behind Miss Ash's seemingly harmless identity as a paradise fairy?
However - if this is true, why is Miss Ash now devoting herself to the action of quelling the disaster and saving the fairies?
