Just a magical girl who picks up trash

Huanbing and Ye Lina were still outside fighting Baiyin. They were obviously preparing to go out and help. As for sealing this place...

Shui Meng looked at Sheng Yin, who answered without even thinking:

"Promise: Wait! This place... I will protect it!"

The human figure suddenly disappeared and turned into a pool of liquid, collapsing in all directions. After slowly setting up a crystal coffin-like material around the sleeping Shi Lei and wrapping her inside, the next second, the surrounding land seemed to dissolve and slowly disappear. Then, the mercury coffin made of holy silver was seen carrying Shi Lei slowly and silently into the ground.

After doing all this, about another minute passed, and a ball of silvery-white liquid seeped out from under the ground again. Then, it turned little by little and finally formed a silver figure with the appearance of Shi Lei, which seemed to have shrunk, next to Shui Meng.

"Explanation: Combat power reduced by half, but still able to help!"

"Well, let's go!"

Listening to Shengyin's words, Shui Meng nodded slightly. A flash of golden magic appeared in her palm and a lightning battle axe instantly appeared in her hand. At the same time, Jiuyue behind her also stretched out her hand and slightly turned a bracelet on her left wrist that was flashing with blue light.

"Buzz~~~"

Blue twin ponytails covered her originally long azure hair, and a blue and white tight swimsuit-like outfit wrapped around the simple armor on the outside replaced the original conservative robe. To be honest, at the moment the transformation was completed, even at her age, September couldn't help but reveal a faint blush.

"Looks like... I need to spend some time getting used to this new... transformation magic!"

With a wry smile on her face, although this new set of equipment that she had never worn before obviously made her curious and shy, now was obviously not the time to care about these things. The three of them nodded to each other, and then they all flew up and flew directly out of the barrier.

No one knew what the outcome of the battle would be after Shui Meng and the other two joined the battle. However, on the other side, in the direction of the center of the Demon Realm, a space-time gate suddenly opened. The next second, with the moment a golden foot stepped out of it, Yu Huan's figure once again appeared ten thousand meters above the desert on the border of the Demon Realm.

The immensely majestic figure simply stood there, looking down upon everything below as if he were the king of the world. Whether it was the tiny border village or the strange beasts that occasionally appeared and disappeared among the ruins in the desert, they were undoubtedly like ants in her eyes. Even with this imposing aura of dominance, the Demon King stood there, but the next second, the voice that emanated from beneath this majestic mask was...

"Fuck, I almost forgot about this. What a stupid brain..."

Just as the girl was making fun of herself in these clear and childish words, Yu Huan suddenly waved her hands, and the next second a watch dial appeared in her hands.

That was not a knight's watch dial, as there was no knight's logo on it. There was only a golden center, which looked like a golden roulette wheel on a clock.

"This is the last bit of strength I have left. I hope I can hold on a little longer...at least until I come back!"

He murmured to himself, and then he saw Yu Huan's hand loosen, and the dial in his hand suddenly fell straight to the ground.

"Swoosh~~Bang~~~"

Falling from a height of ten thousand meters, the golden dial landed intact in the desert... That's right, not fell, but fell into, as if the ground was just an illusion. The golden dial was seen directly blending into it, and then slowly disappeared in the golden sand.

"Done, time to call it a day. This time we're really leaving!"

Only after finishing all this did Yu Huan clapped his hands in satisfaction, turned around and walked into the space-time gate again as if he had finished his last job, and disappeared.

14. Guardian Light in the Desert

“Hu~~Hu~~Hu~~Hu~~”

In the unchanging desert, countless ruins are vaguely visible, and mirage-like images appear on the edges of the desert storm.

Amidst the rolling yellow sand, the raging wind brought with it a materialized storm sweeping across the vast desert. Occasionally, one could vaguely hear the roar of some kind of wild beast erupting from the wind and sand from time to time, at varying distances.

This is somewhere in the desert ruins, but as for where... no one knows. After all, since the Mirror Destruction Day, the area of ​​the desert ruins has occupied nearly 80% to 90% of the land in this world. Oases and the like no longer exist. If there are only two places that can still be regarded as pure land, then there are undoubtedly only the mysterious western region called the Demon Realm and the legendary sky city called Tianta City, which is suspended in the sky and borders a city in the ruins!

However, these two places, one in the east and one in the west, are not only far apart from each other, but their specific locations are not clearly marked even on the map. Therefore, if you want to find them, you can only try your luck unless there is some official channel!

What? If there's an official channel, why is it still a secret? It's already public information, right?

No, no, no, in fact, this is obviously not the case. After all, both the Demon Realm and Tianta City are like pure lands in this doomsday-like world. It is naturally impossible to enter there casually. After all, they are just cities or regions, not big enough to accommodate everyone in the world.

What's more, not to mention the capacity, the supplies are obviously not allowed. Therefore, whether it is the Demon Realm or Tianta City, if you want to go... you must meet the other party's conditions!

What? You're asking, since there's no pure land around here except for those two places, how can we satisfy those damn conditions when even survival is so difficult?

This is very simple. Although there is nothing else in the Pure Land except Tianta City and the Demon Realm, in fact, on this ruin that seems to have been completely destroyed, there are actually quite a few... villages!

The survivors in the ruins, the weak beings standing at the bottom of the food chain in the ruins, are extremely humble lives that survive in it by relying on the extreme desire of human beings for survival. However, it is precisely because of this humility and weakness that they have successfully survived in the ruins, and with the power of unity and the magical recycling technology that they have found from the ruins, they finally formed one survival group after another.

Scavengers... people call them that. They are a group of strong beings who live in the desert ruins, accompanied by death every day, wandering in the dangerous ruins, in the desert full of strange beasts, and in the world on the edge of destruction with natural disasters. They struggle to survive.

And they also exist in such a difficult environment, relying on unity, relying on a certain desire for survival and instinct to gradually gather together and eventually form their own system:

Scavengers Alliance!

They make a living by scavenging, and based on scavenging, they build one community after another that belongs to them, their villages, their cities and villages, their various business systems, and so on.

After countless years of development and hard struggle, it finally gained a foothold in this ruin and gradually became a recognized third-party force on the continent standing behind Tianta City and the Demon Realm!

"Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap"

In the boundless golden desert, the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly came at this moment, mixed with heavy breathing. It was a heavy breathing sound full of fear and panic, as if venting the unsuppressible fear in the heart.

Following the sound, I could clearly see why the other party had such a frightened expression and was breathing heavily. The reason was very simple: in the boundless desert, three figures of two men and one woman wearing already tattered red, yellow and blue robes were running in front, and behind them were huge figures emerging from the endless yellow sand.

Those are wolves... a pack of wolves, but they look obviously different from ordinary packs of wolves. If you want to know what the specific difference is, it is probably that these wolves... are all wearing armor!

That's right, it was as if the close-fitting armor grew directly from the body and was wrapped tightly around the wolves. Above their scarlet eyes were thick metallic helmets, and even the originally sharp wolf claws were covered with a layer of sharper and thicker metal claws as if wrapped in metallic color.

Strange beasts, they are some kind of creatures in the ruins that have mutated in unknown ways, but in short, they are a combination of the characteristics of living things, the characteristics of technology, and occasionally some magical characteristics. They are some kind of product unique to the ruins.

Powerful... no extra elaboration is needed, this alone is enough to evaluate their existence, and they are also the dominant race in the ruins.

"Ow~~~"

At this moment, behind the three young men, there was a pack of at least a hundred wolves chasing and howling, trying to tear the three humans in front of them into pieces and eat them as food.

The three people in front were running away desperately, looking back from time to time with clear fear and deep regret in their eyes.

What was he regretting? Perhaps he was regretting that he hadn't overestimated his own abilities and had come to this place that the Demon Realm called a forbidden zone for humans!

However, regret obviously cannot change the past that has already happened. In this situation, the only thing they can do is to run hard and then... pursue the only glimmer of hope!

"We're almost there, almost there, just hold on a little longer...we'll be there soon!"

The red-robed young man in the lead kept saying these words, no one knew whether he was comforting the two people around him or comforting himself. At the same time, the other two also looked forward with a faint glimmer of hope in their eyes, and even their pace couldn't help but quicken a bit.

And finally, as they watched the wolves getting closer and closer, the three of them ran for about a few minutes and finally saw... not far in front of them, above the dazzling golden desert, there was a tall thing that seemed to blend in with the desert, but it was so clear and obvious... a thin golden wall of light.

"We're...we're here, hurry...run!"

They were almost on the verge of death, yet still relying on their survival instinct, the three of them took heavy steps and decisively ran towards the golden wall. At this time, behind them, the wolves were getting closer and closer...

"Ow~~~"

15. Mainland China's grudges

The Demon Realm is a mysterious magic alliance standing in the ruins. Although its specific location is not a very mysterious place, ordinary people rarely find the entrance to the Demon Realm.

Of course, even if you find it, it doesn’t mean that you will be able to enter the Demon Realm!

The Demon Realm that truly appears outside is actually just a town that looks very grand like an ancient city. There are certainly magicians in it, but most of them are just like civilians or scavengers and adventurers in the ruins. Although these people extend into the Demon Realm, they are only on the periphery!

The real Demon Realm does not belong to this space. Just like the Sky City, it seems to be hidden in another space. As for where it is exactly, in fact, because the systems of the Sky City and the Demon Realm are different, even the Sky City's space ability users or space technology cannot discover it at all... After all, it is a phenomenon caused by magic that cannot be explained by technology.

For those who have been to the Demon Realm, if the most profound impression of the Demon Realm is mystery, then there are undoubtedly only two: the world wrapped in the golden light that penetrates the sky and the earth, and the boundless world with no end in sight of the golden light.

The other is standing tall in this world. No matter where you look, you can see it as soon as you look up... There are twelve tall towers standing tall in all directions of the entire Demon Realm.

Just like the Twelve Zodiac Towers in Tianta City, there are twelve wizard towers unique to the Demon Realm. They are collectively called the "Star Towers" and are named after the twelve constellations recorded in a book excavated from the ancient ruins of a certain city. They have been guarding the peace and harmony of the Demon Realm for generations.

The Demon Realm under the Star Tower has been peaceful for thousands of years. The residents living in it, whether civilians or magicians, have lived a stable and prosperous life. In addition, after the connection with Tianta City and the Scavengers Alliance in the outside world, the three-party alliance has enabled the power of technology and magic to coexist here, which has undoubtedly greatly improved the original life for the Demon Realm.

The technology of Tianta City and the magic of Demon Realm are the ultimate systems of the two worlds. Because of the cooperative relationship with Tianta City, Demon Realm no longer lives a self-contained life as recorded thousands of years ago. After a great war thousands of years ago, they finally walked out of the ruins and found the existence of other ethnic groups that survived the Mirror Destruction Sun besides Demon Realm.

In the world of apocalyptic wasteland, war and invasion are undoubtedly stupid things. Therefore, it does not mean that the Demon Realm and Tianta City will fight for interests after they meet. In fact, the two sides basically did not experience any conflicts and formed an alliance naturally. Together with the scavengers alliance living in the ruins, they became the three major forces in this world.

No... maybe it should be said that there are four major forces, because at the same time, there is another reason for organizing the conflicts between the three major forces and making it impossible for them to show any ambitions. That is, under the alliance of the three major forces, there is another difficult and powerful common enemy in this world: the mirror!

It is a mysterious organization. No one knows where they come from or what their purpose is. The only thing we know is that the people in this organization possess extremely powerful forces and powers that are completely different from the magic and technology of the existing system. They wander between the three major forces and are rarely discovered. However, once they cause trouble, it will definitely be earth-shattering!

The most recent one was undoubtedly during the New Life Festival in Tianta City, when face-level cadres from the Mirror Prevention invaded the Sky City, known as the first technological capital, and created chaos inside. Although the chaos was eventually saved by the tower masters of the Zodiac Tower, such a large-scale act was undoubtedly a naked provocation of Tianta City by the Mirror Prevention.

In view of this, Tianta City even issued an official statement afterwards, officially issuing a comprehensive wanted notice in the ruins and offering a reward for the capture of all members of the Jing Organization... This time, it is obvious that Tianta City is not going to give up!

Similarly, because the Freshman Festival is a joint effort of the three major forces, although Tianta City did not suffer such heavy losses in this turmoil, the young students sent to Tianta City by the Demon Realm and the Scavengers Alliance were undoubtedly affected. Under such circumstances, with the voice of Tianta City, these two forces naturally would not let it go.

The Demon Realm expressed its support for Tianta City’s wanted order, and the Scavengers Alliance was the best implementer of this wanted order... After all, the ruins were their territory!

Even in such a situation, what makes people helpless is that the Mirror Organization seems to have received the news long ago and has begun to hide completely. Since the beginning of this mysterious organization, although it has often committed major crimes, in fact, no one has ever been able to really grasp their specific intelligence. Therefore, after this disappearance, even the combined forces of the three parties are obviously completely helpless and unable to make any response.

This is undoubtedly very frustrating!

Of course, it is not entirely true to say that the Mirror Organization hid away because it was cowardly under the joint wanted order of the three major forces. After all, it is a terrorist organization spanning the entire world. Therefore, the Mirror Organization naturally responded to the wanted order of the three forces... That was a series of earth-shaking battles that took place in the ruins.

No one knew what happened. They only knew that in the sudden battle, one village after another of the Scavenger Alliance was destroyed. From the subsequent investigation and the tracing back using magic, it was clearly seen that it was none other than the people from the Mirror Organization who destroyed these villages!

Not only that, in recent days, energy thefts have occurred in many cities affiliated with Tianta City. After numerous investigations, several peripheral cadres of the Jing Organization could not be caught. At the moment of their capture, the opponents suddenly committed suicide, and not even their bodies were left behind, turning directly into a pool of silver-white liquid. Their ruthless methods are evident!

At this point, the hatred with the Mirror Organization became deeper and deeper. However, what was strange was that the Demon Realm suddenly became quiet for some reason... Although it was still denouncing the Mirror Organization, it was obviously much quieter than before.

No one knows what is going on. After all, the Demon Realm is located in a place that is too mysterious, and there are too few ways to obtain intelligence from the other party!

16. Demonic Star Tower

Demonic Domain·Inner Domain

The Demon Realm is surrounded by the Twelve Star Towers. According to the ancestral system, each tower has a tower master. The tower master is responsible for the operation of the star tower and the management of some areas of the Demon Realm. At the same time, he is also one of the most powerful guardians of the Demon Realm. The Twelve Star Towers are undoubtedly the twelve strongest people in the entire Demon Realm. They surround the Demon Realm and protect the safety of the Demon Realm for generations.

As for the Witch Tower standing in the center... no one knows the origin of the tower. They only know that it seems to be a mysterious tower built by the ancestor of the wizard tower a thousand years ago.

In fact, there is no tower master in this tower... Yes, unlike the other Twelve Star Towers, there is no tower master in this Witch Tower. Instead, there are only two titled mages and a person who is said to be the deputy tower master who manage this place.

And unlike other wizard towers that accept students and even run academies, this witch tower can be said to be very... mysterious and deserted!

There seemed to be less than twenty people in the entire tower, and each of them was a master with powerful magic. No one knew where these people came from or what kind of magic they used. All they knew was that these twenty people could easily manage everything in the Witch Tower, and that this tower... was very xenophobic!

The twelve star towers are of the same origin, and the masters of the twelve star towers are as close as a family no matter how the generations change... Although there are some minor conflicts among them occasionally, they still exist as a whole in the big picture.

However, only the Witch Tower... is like a lonely student isolated in the corner of the entire class. It has maintained its independent operating personality for thousands of years. Whether it is recruiting apprentices to open an academy, bordering Tianta City, or officially stepping into the ruins world, it seems that it has no intention of participating at all. It is even indifferent to the construction of the Demon Realm and just lives its own life peacefully.

Of course, if it were just that, it would be fine. In fact, such a wizard tower is more like a decoration than a wizard tower. After all, the implementation of non-participation is so mysterious, isn't it? However, in reality, this is not the case...

In the conference room at the top of the Central Mage Tower... or should it be called the Witch Tower.

A total of thirteen seats were neatly arranged on a huge round table. At this moment, in this huge room with glazed windows on all four sides, twelve figures of different shapes and sizes were sitting on their respective seats, leaving only the chair in the center empty.

The atmosphere seemed a bit heavy, because at this moment, there was no smile on the faces of those figures sitting on the chairs. Some were playing with their nails, some were fiddling with the small magic circles in their hands, releasing one or two spells from time to time, and some were even sleeping soundly on the table. Of course, apart from those with different attitudes, most of them had expressions of deep dissatisfaction on their faces, and they became more and more stern as time went by.

"Bang~~"

Finally, it seemed that at a certain time, someone could no longer bear it and stood up from his seat. He slapped the table in front of him, and a loud noise instantly resounded throughout the room.

"Damn, where are you? I've been waiting for half a day, are you letting me sit here and grow mushrooms?!"

A loud voice full of impatience suddenly spread out, but apart from this roar, one could see that the figures sitting in their seats around were still doing their own things, as if they had no reaction to his voice at all.

The one who spoke was a man in a white and red vest, dressed like a bodybuilding coach. He had a rough face and at first glance looked like an extremely ferocious warrior, which was indeed the case. However, if you looked closely, it was not difficult to find that under that rough face, a pair of wide-open eyes would flash with a glint of calculation from time to time.

Strong limbs. Simple mind? Obviously not!

As the man's voice fell, although there was no reaction from the surroundings, it seemed that because he had started it, someone finally spoke again a few minutes after the man's voice fell:

"Oh my~~ What's the rush? We all have nothing to do anyway, so let's just get together and bond. What's there to be angry about?"

The one who spoke was a woman sitting at the other corner of the table. She had a slim figure and was wearing a cheongsam-like outfit that perfectly showed off her figure. She also had a fox fur coat draped over her shoulders, making her look like a noble lady, full of elegance and nobility.

By the way, the one playing with her nails that I introduced earlier was her.

As the woman's voice fell, it seemed that the two people's words broke the silence in the room, and the originally quiet room suddenly became lively at this moment.

It seemed that because the owner of this place was not yet in the future, the few of them began to discuss their own affairs.

"By the way, have you finished counting the students who were scheduled to attend the freshman festival?"

The old woman, dressed in a classical aqua blue robe and looking meticulous and even with a serious expression, sat there with her body straight. While she spoke, she also looked across at a red-haired man in a wild vest who was making the magic circle in his hand appear and disappear, and occasionally creating a cluster of flames, and asked this question.

“Well, it’s already been counted~~”

Playing with the flame in his hand casually, the gangster-like man also replied in a casual tone:

"Generally speaking, because the incident happened in Tianta City, and it seemed like the battle took place in another dimension, Tianta City itself only received some aftermath, so our losses weren't great. If I had to say... it was probably just that two of Xiaobai's nominal students died, which was quite tragic!"

"Don't call me Xiaobai, I'm the Lord of Aries Tower!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle woman next to him who was dressed in a white robe and gave the first impression of being soft and fluffy opened her eyes and spoke. At the same time, she 'inadvertently' stretched out her long legs while sitting.

"Bang~~"

The boy who was playing with fire just now was kicked off the chair. The flame in his hand suddenly went out, and a spark almost ignited his forehead.

"Fuck, Xiao Baiyang, are you sick?"
