The boring life of the white devil

This is the Holy King Tower that amazes the whole world.

When he took the first step into the gate of the Holy King's Tower, Suoleichuan felt a wave of weakness all over his body.

Aecilia saw this abnormality.

When she was about to say something, the woman in black preempted her. She said calmly, "The concentration of gospel elves in the tower is several times that of the outside world. As a white devil, you may have to suffer a bit." She didn't seem to understand. He has no objection to Soleichuan and Aicilia following him, "Just call me 'Ji'."

"Ji?" For Soleichuan, this is indeed a rare surname. "So, what is the purpose of your organization? I think it is definitely not as simple as just rescuing angels and saving the world." Now that we have arrived Inside the tower, if Ji's purpose is contrary to his own, it might lead to a fight.

There is nothing in the first floor hall of the Holy King Tower.There is a stand on the closed wall with a parchment scroll on it. A long flame is burning in the magic circle on the parchment scroll for lighting.

"I don't know about this kind of thing. I'm just following orders." Ji seemed to be talking absentmindedly.

Soleichuan frowned and assumed for the time being that Ji was telling the truth, "You mean, someone hired the entire Nightingale organization? No matter how you look at it, you should be the leader of this group of thieves' union, and they will fight tonight When the time comes, the person in charge should not stop. And the way those people look at you is obviously different. How can I put it... When I look at you, I feel like I am looking at the savior."

Recalling the oath she took before departure, Fiona looked at Ji with a light that seemed to be shining in her eyes, and she yearned for the position where Ji stood.

This tower is not wide. It is estimated that the diameter of the circular area is only 20 meters, and it is always vertical to maintain this width.I believe it is also because there is a special magic formula inside to support the strength.

In the rotunda, there is a column that extends upwards along with the tower. The middle column is surrounded by spiral staircase steps.

Except for the King of Heroes, the Archbishop and the saint who may exist in the legend, no one else will come in here, but the stairs, handrails and floors are all spotless, as if people come here every day Just like cleaning carefully.

Ji walked up the stairs and said, "One of the editors is codenamed Alpha."

"Compiler?" This was the first word Soleichuan heard.

He looked back at Aicilia, who also shook her head and said she had never heard of such a thing as Alpha.

"What is that?" Soleichuan's voice echoed between the inner walls of the Holy King Tower.

Now you can feel relieved for the time being, because ordinary people are absolutely prohibited from entering the Holy King Tower, so even the Templar Knights will not rush in immediately.

Chapter 51 Editor code name Alpha

And it's no exaggeration to say that we don't know where the angel is trapped now. If we look at the sky, we can see endless spiral stairs, which may not be reached even at dawn.

The angels imprisoned in it are just a secret, and what people know on the surface is that the remains of each generation of hero kings will be stored in this tower for preservation. The air here can prevent their bodies from decaying and keep their original appearance forever. The look he had when he died.

This sounds like a place where you can live forever, but for the incomplete Soleichuan, this tower full of "gospel" is extremely painful. He can clearly hear the sound of crystals slowly spreading on his body. .As the complete Valkyrie, Aicilia was not affected at all.

There were only the sounds of voices and footsteps, and their echoes.

"The editors are what they call themselves. They probably think that the world can operate in their ideas, and they are the editors of this script behind the scenes. Of course, this is my own understanding, and they do not have the specific meaning. If you told me, I wouldn't ask." Ji seemed to be approachable.

"Why would you tell us such a thing?" Soleichuan just asked casually before, but he didn't expect Ji to actually answer him.If Soleichuan guessed correctly, they had already seen the so-called Alpha on the icy plateau.

"Because the agreement between Alpha and I is that we will not share these secrets with humans, and you are not humans, so it doesn't matter."

Because he couldn't see Ji's expression, Soleichuan was amused by the serious tone.For the first time, I felt that my identity as a non-human being was useful.

"Then what benefit did the editor give you? Is it faith?" Now that Suo Leichuan saw that Ji was willing to speak, he continued to ask.

"Magic, food, and taking us in. The Nightingales are the Thieves' Guild, as people outside call it. In fact, the Nightingales are more like a religious group. It would be even more serious to let the people of the empire know that there is a heretical sect infiltrated into the royal city. matter."

Indeed, it would be better if the Thieves' Guild was mixed among the civilians, but if there was a heretical sect in this country that believed in angels very much, it would probably be a bloody storm.

People's attachment to religion is scarier than anything else.

Ji continued, "All religious groups in this world are similar. They take in orphans, teach them magic and fighting, and let them fight for themselves. I am just a puppet who brings those orphans together. "

She understands herself very well, but I am afraid that tonight, she and Fiona may be the only ones left in the Nightingale organization. No matter what kind of existence they are, there will be no results if they are hostile to the Templars.

"Since you know this is the case... then why..." Soleichuan didn't know how to ask this question.

Fortunately, Ji has understood, "Because you can live, right? Isn't the meaning of human existence just to live? Without that food and magic, we would have starved to death on the streets, so for the editor For us, they are the real gods of our nightingales.”

God is the one who gives you food and a way to live.

If it cannot keep itself alive, humans will not worship it and will devalue it as a demon.After all, it seems that human beings are really creatures that can survive as long as they think they can survive.

Faith and religion are just tools to make yourself live a better life.

If one day, the god they originally worshiped wanted to exterminate humans in the world, then humans would still resist and shout slogans demanding the killing of gods.Perhaps the truly terrifying thing in the world is human beings.If the gods do not obey them, they may kill the gods too.

What a rampant and selfish race this is.

"What the world will become in the end, or what we nightingales will become in the future, are not within the scope of our consideration. Without the editor, we who were once reduced would not live for one more minute. Since They gave us a continuation of life, so that the part of my continuation of life can see the sun again and eat food to satisfy our appetite, and then the part of the time they gave us can work for them willingly."

Ji's words made Soleichuan feel a little uncomfortable, "So what is your purpose of coming to the Holy King Tower this time?"

"It should be as you imagined. After you find the angel and release his imprisonment, what happens after that has nothing to do with me."

Ji's statement made Soleichuan sound like he was ready to die.

After hearing the angel's roar several times before, Soleichuan felt that the angel's mental state seemed to have reached a certain level of madness. Perhaps the moment he liberated the angel, it was the moment when the three people in the tower died. moment.

Thinking of this, Soleichuan felt a little scared.

Everyone will be afraid when facing death, regardless of whether he has no meaning for survival.

Even if those orphans were reduced to tools after being adopted by the church, they still gained more life time. This kind of thing does not sound wrong at all.Human beings need to fight for freedom, but if this freedom itself is given to them by others, then do they still have the reason and right to fight?

They had been walking for a long time without seeing any platform or end.

"Ji, what's your full name?" Aicilia asked such a question.

She didn't look back, "It doesn't make any sense. Just call me Ji. I just need to know that you are calling me."

Aicilia seemed to ask for the full name of anyone who was interested, but Ji obviously didn't appreciate it.

Aicilia could only shake her head.

Ji's voice was very gentle, but not cold or indifferent. It gave people the impression that he was someone who really lived in this world.Maybe it’s because he has experienced too much battle and blood, and his body is stained with too much dust from this world.

Ji's waist did not have any weapons like swords, but small daggers hanging all over her waist in the dagger sheaths.There are two rows on the waist, and there are also many empty sheaths on the legs and arms. They should have been used during the battle just now.

What is the secret in the Holy King Tower?The longer I stayed in the Holy King Tower, apart from feeling uncomfortable physically, my heart became calmer and calmer.

Maybe it won't take much time before you can understand the meaning of what Wu Zikusi said to herself at the beginning - "The world will not be that simple."

All the darkness, distortion, and secrets in its current empire are stored in this Holy King Tower that reaches straight into the clouds.

Chapter 52 The significance of the Holy King Tower

Judging from the time predicted by Soleichuan, they had been walking for almost four hours.But the surrounding environment has never changed, with the flames lit by parchment scrolls and the endless spiral staircase.

"How high is this Holy King Tower...Does His Majesty the Hero King and the Archbishop have to walk for such a long time every time?..." Soleichuan became suspicious, "Are we cursed? Already?"

Ji immediately answered, "It shouldn't be wrong. We have been wandering in place since just now and have not gained altitude."

"Really! Then why didn't you tell me earlier!" Suoleichuan was surprised, "You should have known about it a long time ago!"

"You're kidding," Ji said.

……

There was silence for a while, and Soleichuan didn't think this woman was joking at all, but she did, and because of her indifferent expression, she didn't find it funny or interesting or any other emotion at all.

……

"What on earth are Valkyrie and the White Demon? The Empire makes such things..." When referring to himself and Aicilia as things, Soleichuan hesitated for a moment, but continued, "Just to conquer. Something as simple as mainland China?”

"How could I possibly know this kind of thing?" Ji paused, seeming to think of something, "During the theft of banned books in the library, we seemed to have stolen some notepads about some unknown things in the past, but because Such things have nothing to do with us, so they are stored away. If there is a chance to get out alive, I can show it to you, and maybe you will find the truth you want."

"Well... if there is a chance..." Soleichuan said softly. Indeed, in the current situation, whether he can get out of the tower safely is a big unknown.

But what Soleichuan was sure of was that even if he found it, those things would definitely not be the truth he hoped for.The truth and the desired truth are two opposite things.

In Soleichuan's view, since the King of Heroes already has angels, the most powerful library in the world, and some of the most powerful forbidden book magic, there is no need to do anything extra.There are many things that puzzle Soleichuan. For example, in the previous 300 years, the empire obviously had the strength to take over the entire continent, but it failed to do so.

In his later years, the most aggressive Hero King II also slowed down his plans to expand his territory. In his third generation, he directly stopped the war of aggression and signed a peace treaty.

It's strange no matter how you think about it. During the first and second generations, not many countries on the continent had mastered magic, and the secrets of the Imperial Library were not leaked too much.

As time went by, it became clear that the Nalen Republic in the south had mastered some forbidden book magic before it dared to launch a large-scale war like this.This is not like something that happens naturally, or that the trajectory of this world is really controlled by the so-called editors as Ji said.

They do not appear on the real stage, but control the world's trends and the gears of destiny behind the scenes. They call themselves editors, and they should want to create the history of this world according to their own scripts.

In other words, they are a group of guys who play with human lives.

It seems that the person who gave Luo Di the puppet technique was also Alpha. These editors seem to be spreading forbidden techniques in various places, specifically giving power to those children who have hatred for this continent and this world, with some intention of fearing that the world will not be chaotic.

When thinking of this, Soleichuan began to feel annoyed that when he was on the Lengbing Plateau, he let the man named Alpha turn into a bat and fly away.

But having said that, when he saw Alpha disguised as Crawford, the aura was something he couldn't be hostile to at all.

After walking for a while, I seemed to be able to see a little light blue light from the top.

In this closed tower, there has always been only red firelight. When a different kind of light appears, it makes people's eyes brighter.The height here may have almost reached the place where the holy light shines outside the tower. There should be the golden and warm holy light outside the tower.

Suoleichuan glanced down the stairs. There was already an abyss below, and he felt dizzy just by taking a glance.

Soleichuan, who was already tired, sped up a few steps to catch up with Ji who was already walking far ahead.

"Are you guys here after all?"

A deep male voice echoed in the tower. It was not the voice that claimed to be an angel that Soleichuan encountered in the Pure White Realm, but a voice that felt longer and calmer. , this strong sense of history can make you feel stable and calm.

"Who are you?" Soleichuan asked.

"Oh?" This deep voice seemed to be surprised, "It seems that I have been separated from the world for too long. Have people forgotten me?"

It was a sense of vicissitudes that had been separated from the world for a long time.

"Could it be that you are His Majesty Florid Astal, the First King of Heroes!" Ji responded to the voice loudly.

In the light blue light, the voice came again, "Why are you here? Is the world outside already in turmoil?"

Ji Zai approached cautiously.

Soleichuan and Aicilia were already stunned by this conversation.

Florid Astaire, the founder of the Percy Empire and the protagonist of the myth and legend of the King of Heroes.

The legendary figure actually made a voice in the Holy King Tower at this moment, and was talking to himself.

This is such an incredible and shocking thing.

"Your Majesty Floride! Are there really so-called angels imprisoned in this tower?" Soleichuan shouted, facing the light blue light.

He is here to understand the truth. It doesn't matter whether he is the King of Heroes or an angel. For him, only what he wants to know is the most important.

Even though he has been overwhelmed by various titles and identities, even though he is considered a devil and has been living at the bottom of society for many years.Soleichuan also wants to live his own life now. Even if they are gods or angels, they can kill all those who stand in his way!

It was with this thought in mind that he questioned the being who claimed to be the King of Heroes in a hoarse voice.

"That's just something called Hillman's mechanism. There are no angels or gods in this world." The distant voice reached Soleichuan's ears. "The only thing that exists is the desire to conquer this continent. The demon of destruction is a demon from another world. The meaning of the Holy King Tower and the Hillman Mechanism is to prevent the continent of Allenville from being swallowed by the darkness of the void. In order to prevent the twilight of the gods, We created the Valkyrie Plan, we built the Hillman Mechanism."

Chapter 53 A world once destroyed

"Twilight of the Gods?..." Soleichuan couldn't understand this word.

"The world was destroyed thousands of years ago. The world used to be hundreds or thousands of times wider than the continent of Ellenville. The ocean that people see now was once half It’s the earth.”

“Before that terrible day of destruction—Twilight of the Gods—is about to come, the first sign is that mankind is facing a severe winter that has never been experienced before. The snow keeps falling, the frost freezes the earth, and the biting cold wind blows in the dark sky. The sky roared, violent storms and days without sunshine continued, and people struggled to survive in an environment where the sun would never see the light of day."

"Three miserable winters like this happened in succession, with no summer in between. Every day was a miserable day. Everyone's hope for summer was in vain. Heavy snow fell continuously, and ice was everywhere. In the biting cold, The universe is filled with the shadow of war and conflict, and evil beasts in the wilderness are wandering around in search of food. People no longer tolerate each other and help each other, brothers kill each other, father and son become enemies, and kill each other in the ugly competition of lust. The cold has wiped out human nature, making the world It became a living hell.”

"It was a world full of sin and terror. Even the earth trembled. The sea withered and the earth cracked. Too many people died to count. Vultures roared and circled in the sky to eat the dead bodies. Sin flowed freely and blood stained the earth. The souls of countless sinners struggled to cross the River Styx, and even the color of the river was obscured."

"The Twilight of the Gods was a war between the ancient giants and the gods. The ancient giants finally defeated the gods, opened the door to hell, and connected the human world with the hell where demons live. A large number of Demons poured into the world from the gate of hell, and the world fell into infinite darkness. Dark clouds covered the sky. No one could see the bright sunshine anymore, and only the thick haze was suffocating."

"The entire world has long been under the control of demons. After experiencing the tragedy of killing each other, humans were once again baptized by demons. The number of humans in the world was instantly reduced to one hundredth of the original number. None."

"In the original world, on the continent on the other side of the ocean, in this world called Earth, there were a total of 70 million humans living!"

And now, according to what Soleichuan knows, there are less than 500 million humans on the continent of Ellenviere.If there were 70 million humans before the destruction of the world, now there are only a few thousandths of the original population.I originally thought that the current 500 million humans were already a miraculous number, but unexpectedly, there used to be countless similar species at the end of those oceans.

Soleichuan swallowed, "Then what is our current world!"

Perhaps this is what Soleichuan is really looking for, the meaning of his own existence, the meaning of the world's existence, and what exactly this world is.Such a nihilistic question has been bothering Suoleichuan, making him sleepless day and night.

"This world is the last surviving place for mankind. After the Twilight of the Gods, the world entered eternal winter, and the sea level continued to rise, submerging the entire world in waves. In the ruins, in despair, mankind finally Several powerful wizards, as well as some surviving gods, used their lives as sacrifices on the last piece of land in the world to build a powerful barrier to prevent monsters from hell from entering Allenville. Ellenviere is the last remaining place for humanity.”

Soleichuan no longer dared to breathe. The words narrated from this spirit-like blue light made him who was originally weak because of the Gospel Elf even more uncomfortable.Seeing that Aicilia had a complicated expression on her face, Ji had no expression at all, as if she had known these things for a long time.

"The world won't be that simple."

Uzi Cuxi's voice seemed to ring in Soleichuan's ears again.

What the light blue light said must be true. There was no reason, but it was very certain.
