Mr. Vitan had already followed, walking side by side with me, and said to me in a lower voice, "Alec, sorry for your trouble, thank you!" ”

"Teacher, please don't say that, in fact, even if you don't ask, I will help them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Teacher Vitan shook his head lightly and said, "Alex, I know you too well, if it weren't for my relationship, you might not have saved the people of the Jialan Temple, even if you have a good impression of Aaron, but she is not Li Binglan after all, you don't help the enemy in the future because of this level of favor, and leave endless troubles for yourself." You are a born king, not a hegemon. The king dominates justice, determines the standard of righteousness in his own interests, and gives his actions the name of righteousness; The hegemon, on the other hand, is influenced by narrow benevolence and righteousness, and is often swayed by will, and cannot see the direction ahead because of the benevolence of women.

"The king is more ruthless and ruthless than the hegemon, and is a thorough practitioner of utilitarianism, but he is in charge of the overall situation and is not informal, and is never swayed by the emotion and justice of the moment, but because of this, he can grasp the will of the people and is more acceptable to the people. Therefore, in the eyes of the general public, the king is benevolent and generous, while the overlord has a small benevolence and small righteousness, but he is obliterated by the violent killing poke caused by his ridiculous standard of righteousness. On your way to dominate the world, the people who can really influence you will only be the people you love the most, but this influence is still limited. ”

"Looks like I'm a cold person!" I smiled wryly.

"Ruthlessness is not a bad thing, because coldness allows you to clearly grasp the situation of the world, distinguish the situation, and grasp the key to success or failure. The important thing is that you can keep the coldness of your heart, but you can show warmth to others, how can anyone think that you are ruthless? And the most affectionate overlord is indeed cuter than the king, and its tragedy is more recited by later history, but compared to the people at that time, its existence is just a nightmare, and its evaluation can only be a tyrant. ”

"I see," I said, with a sigh, "but to be a pure king is still too pathetic and boring, and it's just a life objectified by power." And I hope to take the road of combining the two, turn my aesthetic concept into the practice of Wang Ba, create the world with beauty, and envelop everything in heaven and earth into my collection! ”

At this time, Vivien had already woken up, and when she heard my words, she smiled and said, "You are really ashamed! Aren't you afraid of flashing your tongue when you say such a big thing? ”

※※※

Two days later, we entered Meinster, an oasis controlled by the Hurricane.

Mainster is a fertile oasis with lush water and grass, herds of cattle and sheep, and about 2,000 members of the "Hurricane" regiment plus nearly 4,000 family members are stationed here, and the tents of white flowers are distributed around Shuoyang Lake in the center of the continent. Meinster undoubtedly still has remnants of the Great Plains before the Lark Wars - and "Meinstere" is the name of the "Grim Reaper's Heart" before the Lark Wars.

With such a fertile land in the middle of a barren desert, it is no wonder that the "Hurricane" of Memphis will become the most powerful force in the desert, leaving the other two bands of thieves in the dust, and even coveting them. As it can be seen, Meng Feiji's ability is not only by force, but also shows that he is not just a person who is willing to be a thief, just waiting for an opportunity, and my appearance has made him see the hope that some kind of old wish will become a reality.

After we settled down, I discussed with Memphis and others about the establishment of the Desert Legion and the future direction of the "Hurricane" Regiment, and during the discussion, everyone seemed quite excited, because it is the dream of every desert boy to build his own army and even build his own country and create an immortal inheritance.

Just as I was setting my ambitious eyes on the entire Saint Lun Continent, letting my mind wander over the "Heart of Death" desert and the surrounding countries, and gradually brewing a grand plan blueprint in my heart, Mr. Vitan fell ill.

Mr. Vitan's condition continued to deteriorate, but he could not diagnose any other illness except the continuous high temperature, but the continuous burning heat in his body continued to consume his life energy, like a bottomless black hole constantly devouring his vitality.

This inexplicable and intractable illness left the desert doctors helpless, while Vivien and I could only grieve and helplessly accompany Teacher Vitan's sickbed, waiting for the declining Teacher Vitan. Mr. Vitan was sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious, and several times after he passed out, we almost thought that Mr. Vitan would never wake up again.

On the morning of April 14, 1891, Mr. Vitan woke up from his slumber in a particularly good spirit, and summoned Vivien and I to our side. When we saw Mr. Vitan lying on the hospital bed, his face showed a special flush, and we all knew that he had returned to the light, and the endless sadness hit my heart and Vivien's hearts.

Seeing our sad looks, Teacher Vitan smiled and said, "Alex and Vivien, don't feel sorry for me, I've lived a long millennium, longer than anyone else, I've experienced everything in the world, I don't have much attachment to the world, and it's not interesting to live anymore, it's just a boring waste of life." The life that was forcibly taken from the hands of the Grim Reaper, and now it is time to return it to the Grim Reaper. ”

"Teacher, you'll be fine! As long as you hold on a little longer, I will find the best doctor on the continent to treat you, Memphis has already sent someone to the holy city of Zeus to find someone......" I couldn't help but say such irrational words.

Teacher Vitan shook his head and said, "Alex, it's useless, no doctor in the world can save my life...... I'm not dying of illness, I'm about to run out of my destiny and have to leave......"

"Teacher, you've replied...... You don't want to leave Vivien behind...... I can't bear the pain of losing someone close to me anymore......" Vivien finally couldn't hold back her tears, tears of grief pouring down her face.

"Vivian, don't be sad, this is my best destination," Teacher Vitan looked at Vivian lovingly, "For you, I am just a passerby of life, don't be sad for me as an old man, my life is long enough...... To live any longer can only be a pain for me. It is enough to have such an intersection in our lives, you can take this experience between us as a family member as a good memory in your life, in order to make up for the trauma of your lack of father's love since childhood, forget the sadness of the past, live well, and strive for your own happiness. Vivian, your happiness is to follow the footsteps of the wind, to become a shadow and a fetter to the wind, and all I can do for you is to give you the wings of the wind, so that you have the ability to synchronize with the wind......"

"Teacher, I will listen to you and live well!" Vivien finally nodded firmly, raising her pretty face like rain and slapping plantains in a strong commitment.

"Alex, come here, I have something to say to you." Teacher Vitan said to me.

I leaned over to Mr. Vitan, who reached out and gently touched my cheek with his palm, and said, "Alex, your future has just begun, and I am a person who has reached the end. In my long life, after countless honors and disgraces, life and death, once brilliant, and once willing to settle down, see all the world, life is no longer passionate, a heart has long been dead. Originally, I thought I was going to die like this, without love, without asking for anything...... But in the last days of my life, I met you! You have shown me hope for humanity! A hope for humanity to free itself from the puppet status attached to the gods and strengthen itself from the world! ”

Speaking of this, Teacher Vitan was a little tired, gasped slightly, and then continued: "I'm sure you've already guessed, my original name is Othdu. Herstolil, once known as the most powerful magician of mankind in the Bailing War, was the commander of the 30 million legions of mankind, leading mankind to defeat the hundred races and achieve hegemony on the continent, which is recorded in human history...... What is not recorded in the history of mankind is that I have another name - Ojidu. St. Bian, the 'Holy King' in the mouths of all races in the continent, is known as an existence close to God.

"In the later stage of the Bailing War, I defeated the previous war in one fell swoop, and finally wanted to take advantage of the fisherman's profit to take the opportunity to send troops, and the gods had a blood relationship with the gods, and I learned from the dying leader of the gods that the whole war was simply a conspiracy of the gods to weaken the strength of mankind and the hundred races. My comrade-in-arms and lover Ashana, the holy woman of the Jialan Temple at the time, announced this discovery to the tribes, and did our best to preserve the remaining strength of the other races, to avoid the danger of their annihilation, and to devote ourselves to the mediation of the races......

"But our efforts to mediate were not forgiven by the leaders of the race, and we were falsely accused of being a traitor to the race, and Ashana was assassinated by them. Blinded by anger and sorrow, I could no longer care about anything else, and unleashed a magic that was enough to destroy the world, turning the leaders of the human race and nearly 100,000 of humanity's most elite heroes to ashes in one fell swoop, and I was wounded by Tudilek, the god of war among the gods...... Since then, the pattern of human unity has fallen apart, and the disputes on the mainland for thousands of years can be said to have arisen because of me...... I still can't fight the gods......"

Teacher Vitan sighed faintly, his mind seemed to be entangled in the sad past, and after a while, he pressed his palm to my forehead and said solemnly, "I want you to remember one thing, Alee—never let anger and sorrow blind you to the direction ahead!" Now I pass on the memories of the millennium to you, and I hope that my experience will help you in your future career......"

As soon as Mr. Vitan's words fell, I suddenly felt countless ideas and historical fragments pouring into my mind through Mr. Vitan's palm, and the thousand-year-old historical picture, the sorrow and glory of mankind, war and peace, and Mr. Vitan's own experience and perception were presented in my Civic domain, and deeply imprinted in my memory.

When all thoughts dissipated, Mr. Vitan's voice rang in his ears: "This is the last thing I can give to you, I hope you can make good use of my knowledge and experience...... Originally, I could also transfer my own magical energy to you with the help of special methods, but your magic is self-contained, although immature but there are infinite possibilities, although I can give you great power at once, but it is not conducive to your own growth, so let you create a new era of magic by yourself......

"Remember, Alex, that as your power grows, if you are not strong enough to compete with the combined forces of the gods, you have to hide your strength and put your power on the level of humans. Because according to the law laid down by the God of creation, the gods cannot directly intervene in human disputes, but can only find their own agents in the human world. There is only one circumstance in which the gods can attack humans directly, and that is when humans break the law of power to the level of gods – I used a power comparable to that of a god and was injured by the god of war. ”

I nodded silently and said a little choked, "Teacher...... I'll take your teachings to heart......"

Teacher Vitan smiled, shifted his body with difficulty, and said, "Alex, there is something I haven't told you...... When I first met you, I found that you were suffering from the 'Destiny of Heaven', an incurable disease known as the curse of the gods, and it stands to reason that you will not live to be fifteen years old, perhaps your wisdom and talent are not allowed to exist by God...... I did not hesitate to use the ancient forbidden art to transform your body, so that your life state has made a qualitative leap, which is why you learn magic and martial arts more effectively than others...... Although you have a strange endowment of demonic martial arts, whether you can break through the limits of demonic martial arts and surpass the gods depends on your own comprehension...... After the events here are over, you must go to the Fairy Forest, get the key to enter the Lost Forest from the Elf Queen, and then enter the Lost Forest and cultivate there for a year...... I left behind a lifelong collection of magical texts and many useful things for you, such as the valuable Magic Crystal Mine and the basalt ore, which is the most well-crafted weapon...... That's where my dreams begin and where my dreams end......"

When Mr. Vitan said this, he took out the treasured handkerchief from his bosom, looked at it deeply, his eyes flashed with endless thoughts and sorrows, and then handed it to me, and said: "When I die, you will cremate my body, and then bury half of my ashes in Meinster, so that I can live forever and atone for the harm I have caused to this land, and witness your glorious footprints...... The other half, along with the handkerchief left by the silk Ashana, was buried on the hillside outside my abode in the Lost Forest, so that my soul could accompany my beloved, the woman who had united me so that I could break through the confines of the Garlan Temple......"

I took it and gently hid it in my arms, a heart heavier than lead, but I didn't know how to express the sadness in my heart, just nodded silently, at this time, Mr. Vitan had already closed his eyes, and after a while he reopened his eyes, and said to Vivien, who was constantly sobbing: "Go follow the footsteps of the wind and control your own happiness." By Alex's side, you will get the warmth you have been longing for for a long time, but be patient, Alex is not good at expressing his true feelings, and it takes enough perseverance to melt the ice......"

After saying that, Teacher Vitan was already asleep, and we couldn't help but scream: "Teacher......"

※※※

At this time, Gurando, known as the "Desert Divine Doctor", took the pulse of Teacher Vitan and said: "Don't worry, it's just a coma, but whether you can wake up again, I'm afraid it's ......."

"Doctor, we can only entrust the teacher's life to you, please do your best to save him......" I sighed, but my solemn tone was already a kind of coldness, as if I had accepted the fact that Teacher Vitan was leaving, and my heart seemed to be frozen by ice, and there was not much intense emotion...... Is it because I reply quickly? Or is it because I'm too ruthless?

Gulando sighed and said, "I can only do my best, this heat fever is not so much a disease as the burning of life, and when the burning ends, it is the end of life...... With this gentleman's physique, it would have been impossible to support it until now, but he seems to have used a strange resurrection technique to forcibly reverse the number of lives, which is maintained by unimaginably powerful magic, and I never thought anyone could do it...... Now, however, it seems that his magic power has dropped drastically, and it is no longer enough to sustain his vitality...... Therefore, his departure is a matter of time, and I hope everyone will be mentally prepared. ”

I nodded and said, "I understand......"

There was a commotion outside, and I frowned, and said to Vivien, "You wait here for the teacher, and I'll go out and see what's going on." ”

When I went out of the tent, I saw more than a dozen members of the "Hurricane" Regiment besieging a medium-sized figure, and the elongated long knives with a wedge danced out of a wave of light, almost enveloping the entire figure in the light of the knife, guarding it so tightly that all the members of the "Hurricane" Regiment could not get close.

I stared at it, this person was wrapped in a black cloak, ordinary appearance, ordinary height, and a long knife that contrasted strongly with his body - it was Matthew, the "Strange Hunter"!

Why did this man appear here? And also to fight with the people of the "Hurricane" regiment? Wearing black robes in the desert, and not being a magician himself, it's really a strange hobby.

I didn't understand the situation for a while, so I asked a member of the Hurricane Regiment named Nineke, "What's going on?" ”

Nenecke bowed and replied, "Back to Lord Alex, as soon as this strange man entered the oasis, he said that he was looking for Captain Meng, and we said that the head of the regiment was not there, so he went to the main tent without saying a word, and asked him what he was looking for, and he did not answer. How can we let you disturb Mr. Vitan to recuperate? So the brothers in the regiment stepped forward to stop him and fought him. ”

I frowned, did Matthew come to Memphis to fight again? Letting him mess around here will affect Mr. Vitan's rest, where did Memphis run at this time? Someone comes to provoke and doesn't come out to clean up the mess? He asked about Nineke again.

Ninek still replied respectfully, "The head of the regiment heard that the physician of the Heavenly Medicine Clan had arrived at the nearby Meiers Oasis, so he personally invited someone to go. ”

I nodded, and found that there had been a change in the field at this time, only to see that the restrained light in Matthew's hand suddenly dispersed into several outward surging sword lights, and several members of the "Hurricane" had been knocked to the ground.

I took a closer look, those "Hurricane" members were not fatally injured, but were only blocked by the back of the knife, and they were unable to act for a while, it seems that Matthew seems to be merciful, but he can only seal the opponent's action in the fierce battle without harming the opponent, but it also shows that Matthew's knife skills have reached the realm of supernatural skills.

However, at this time, I was in a bad mood, but I didn't have the heart to praise the other party's cleverness, and I thought that Teacher Vitan, who was dying and needed to rest quietly, might be disturbed by the arrival of this person, so I couldn't help but be angry, and said to the soldiers of the "Hurricane" regiment: "Brothers, let me here, this person will be handed over to me!" ”

The crowd dispersed at my command, and I pulled the "unnamed" forward and walked towards Matthew step by step.

Matthew raised his long knife in front of him and looked at me as I approached with a solemn expression.

My heavy steps shook the ground, and the increasing pace and the strength of the anger caused Matthew to put a great deal of psychological pressure on Matthew.

I saw that Matthew's expression became more and more cold, fine beads of sweat appeared on his face, and his left foot took a step forward, not allowing me to further condense his momentum, and the long knife was raised, bringing up a fierce energy, turning into a fierce straight split!

I blocked the "unnamed" in the air, holding Matthew's heavy blade, but did not take half a step back, but Matthew seemed to be taken aback, the long knife was retracted, and retreated a few feet, the long knife flashing with dazzling bright light vibrated at a high frequency that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and the tip of the knife pointed at me from afar, as if it had already pulled my qi, as long as I moved, the terrible knife momentum would be activated. What a terrible master!

In fact, with the blow just now, my tiger's mouth was already aching, and my right shoulder was almost paralyzed, but the intense anger made me fall into a state of forgetfulness, but Matthew couldn't figure out my reality for a while, and was frightened by my momentum turned into anger, and I didn't dare to be rash for a while.

But between Matthew's automatic retreat and his retraction, my arm was back to normal, only I felt more angry, and the endless anger flew in the air, as if even the air was infected by my anger and became manic.

I lightly touched the long sword on the ground, and suddenly started to rush forward, the long sword crossed a long trajectory on the ground, and when it approached Matthew, the long sword was raised, bringing up a piece of billowing dust, and at the moment when Matthew's vision was obscured, I clenched the handle of the sword with both hands and shouted: "Vulcan Fury Flame Song", a wave of flames swirled fiercely in the center of the red sword body, and the sword body suddenly appeared in the flames, with a surging flame flow and domineering slash towards Matthew's chest, and returned his moves to him without any tricks.

Matthew also held a knife in both hands, his feet in lunges, his lower body slightly sinking, and he held my furious sword indismissibly. The two of them were in a state of stalemate.

I continued to exert pressure, and under the impetus of anger, the sword fighting qi rushed out, surging through the sword body of the turbulent flames, violently impacting Ma Xiu's long knife and body, under the heavy and huge pressure, Matthew could no longer withdraw, and could only continue to urge the sword fighting qi to resist my sword qi.

Matthew's strength is actually above mine, but he suffers because he didn't expect my magic sword technique to be able to be activated without any warning - this is the moment I burst out of anger in the case of extreme anger, which induces the hot, beating, and wild characteristics of the space fire element, which means that under the urging of anger, my own sword fighting qi has almost no difficulty in reaching synchronization with the frequency of the fire element. Moreover, driven by anger, I also brought out my own potential, and I showed strength far beyond my own level.

On the other hand, Matthew had to release a large part of his energy to fend off the blazing flames created by my flaming sword skills—the Vulcan's dancing not only turned Matthew's clenched long knife into a piece of iron in a furnace, but also brought the space around us into a scorching heat, and the rising air currents reflected our figures as if they were shrouded in a layer of flowing mist.

This stagnant confrontation is essentially an undercurrent of crisis,* frozen in a momentary calm - if either side can't hold on at this time, it will be torn to pieces by the ferocity of the other side!

But the more time dragged on, the more detrimental it was to Matthew, because he had to deal with the pressure of both my magic and martial arts at the same time, and the consumption of physical energy was rapid and huge, in contrast, my magic and sword skills were two in one, and this special skill of using the frequency synchronization of sword fighting energy and magic elements to induce fire magic allowed me to greatly save physical energy.

Just as Matthew was considering whether to try his best to break the current deadlock, an unexpected event happened to him!

I saw that his feet kept sinking - it turned out that under the scorching heat, the sandy ground under his feet had melted and became a state of floating sand! This was because the area of his body was directly subjected to the high temperature induced by my "Vulcan Flame Dance", and although he himself was able to temporarily resist this high temperature due to his sword fighting qi protection, the ground under his feet was inevitably melted by the heat.

Matthew, who had lost his strength, could no longer stop my powerful attack, and the long knife was swept away, and seeing that Matthew was about to die under the fierce sword that I carried with unparalleled anger and the wrath of the god of fire, I heard Memphis shouting anxiously from the right rear: "Alex, mercy!" Matthew's sin does not lead to death! ”

My heart moved, and the words of Mr. Vitan passed through my mind: "Never be blinded by anger and sadness and lose sight of the direction ahead!" Suddenly sobered up, all the anger immediately dissipated, with the movement of the mind, the "unnamed" was about to be led outward, the fierce sword qi and the rushing fire waves swept through the grass near Shuoyang Lake, opened a flame path and threw into the center of the lake, with a strong explosion sounded, in the center of the lake stirred up a sky-high column of water, the water column spread out in the air, pouring down, like a shower.

Everyone watched this scene in a daze, but I felt a sense of prostration and exhaustion after mental and physical exhaustion, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt when I saw Matthew, who was already out of strength and half-kneeling on the ground, with sparks still beating on his body. Actually, I didn't intend to kill him, but the grief caused by the fact that Mr. Vitan was about to leave urgently needed a way to vent, but because of Matthew's appearance, it turned into an irrepressible anger, and finally this anger and killing intent could not even be controlled by myself.

Memphis came up to me and said, "Alex......"

I waved my hand, stopped what Memphis was going to say, glanced at Matthew again, sent a wind magic to extinguish the sparks on him, and said, "Sorry! ”

Matthew looked up at me coldly and said, "I didn't expect that I had tasted defeat twice in just a few days, but this time, I was not defeated by your martial arts, but by your magic!" ”

I said lightly, "You are wrong, you are not defeated by my magic, you are defeated by my anger...... Anger is sometimes a terrible force......"

※※※

Matthew looked thoughtful, and Memphis handed over his hand, but he didn't refuse this time.

Then Memphis said to him, "Is there anything you want to do with me?" ”

"It's fine!" Matthew stood up and shook off Memphis's hand and replied dryly. Memphis was stunned, a little unable to understand his strange temperament, and said, "Then why are you here?" ”

"Not why, just because I'm happy!" Matthew replied coldly. Memphis thought about it and said with a little relief: "Okay! I'm so happy to see you too! I don't ask you why, as long as you can come! ”

Matthew snorted coldly, but stopped talking. In the hot and cold dialogue between the two, I felt that a strange friendship had arisen between them.

"Stay," I said to Matthew, pouring a deep gaze into his eyes, "this place has what you need to escape the disgusting loneliness...... Sometimes, it is difficult for people to find a suitable place to breathe, and once they do, they should not miss it easily. ”

Matthew's face could not help but look at the surprise of being seen through his heart, and the corners of his mouth moved, but he did not say anything—neither to stay nor to leave.

I ignored Matthew and said to Memphis, "The people of the Heavenly Doctor Clan...... Did you find it? ”

Memphis shook his head, sighed, and said, "When I arrived at Myers, he had already left the ...... first."

I said a little melancholy: "The number of fate can not be reversed by human beings...... Even if you can find someone from the Heavenly Doctor Clan, you can't change anything...... Thank you for your hard work......"

On the evening of April 16, 1891, the unconscious teacher suddenly woke up again, but seemed to be in a half-conscious and half-unconscious state, and from his mouth came an intermittent series of muffled voices, which we listened carefully and seemed to express repeatedly meant: "Ashana ...... I love ...... I feel guilty...... Alex...... If...... Gain the world's ......"

Then, Mr. Vitan closed his eyes peacefully, and Gulando quickly checked his condition, and we just waited quietly, no one spoke, and we all had formed a tacit understanding to wait for that moment to come.

After a while, Gulando raised his head and announced to us, "Sir has left ......"

As Vivien's mournful scream broke the dead silence, I suddenly felt something heavy in my chest, and my breath seemed to hold my breath for a moment.

We had a simple but solemn funeral for Mr. Vitan, with no complicated ceremonies, and the only people in attendance were me, Vivien, Memphis, Sasarin, and the Hurricane brothers who had entered Nagway with Memphis.

According to Master Vitan's last wishes, I cremated his body by magic, and then sealed half of the ashes in a box, and buried the other half on the mound on the north side of Shuoyang Lake. Herstolil; Osdu, the Holy King of the Hundred Tribes. St. Pian; My teacher, Vitan. Rest in peace – Alexander. St. Karen. Dominis was erected at Meinster on April 16, 1891 in the Saint-Lun calendar"

The front of the tombstone faces north, the direction of the Garlan Temple, where Ashana's coffin is kept.

When I was done with all this, I said to everyone, "Go back, I'm going to stay a little longer." ”

Alex...... I want to stay too. Vivien sobbed, she was the most mournful of all of us, and I, the closest person to Mr. Vitan, said more. It may be better to be able to show grief than not to be able to express it.

"You go back first, I want to be alone for a while."

I refused Vivien's company and stayed alone, sitting by the tombstone with my hands on my knees, looking north with the tombstone, my mind blank.

The night breeze was cold, the "first menarche" had risen to the middle of the sky, but it was soon covered by heavy clouds, and the thick night gradually wrapped me in it, and suddenly an inexplicable emotion came to my mind, and when I tried to grasp this emotion, I let myself fall into another kind of confusion: what was wrong with me? Are you grieving the loss of Mr. Vitan? Or do you lament the teacher-student friendship that once existed? I can't see through the joys and sorrows of life...... Life...... What kind of thing are you...... My father's coldness and Kalisa's betrayal have made my heart as hard as iron, and I no longer believe in the world, and the merciless killing and cruel battles have made me accustomed to death and look at life as a cover, but why am I ...... at this moment? It's so melancholy......

I shook my head, put aside my thoughtless thoughts, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the corner of my mouth, thinking: Maybe this is called a contradiction......

Time passed unconsciously, and when the moonlight broke free from the embrace of the clouds and projected onto the earth, it was no longer clear white, but a slightly strange purple moonlight - the demon moon "Night Charm" was in the sky, but it was already late at night.

When I heard the sound of small footsteps coming from behind, I turned my head to see Vivien come to me with a cold coat in her hand, and said to me, "Alec, the night is cold, and you will get cold if you dress so thinly...... Put on this winter coat. ”

"Thank you, but I'm not cold-......" Although he said this, he couldn't bear to refuse a piece of her heart, and took the cold coat and draped it on his body.

"Alex, you are not carrying the life of one person...... the expectations of the 'Hurricane' regiment, the future of the villagers of Megana, and the cultivation of Teacher Vitan at the cost of his own life...... You can't always be like this without knowing how to take care of yourself......" Vivien said softly.

"Teacher Vitan burned his life to cultivate me...... Vivien, what do you know that I'm being kept in the dark? Please tell me! Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel excited.

Alex...... Don't you realize the sacrifice that Teacher Vitan has made for you? Vivien said with a little surprise.

"I know that the teacher used a powerful forbidden spell to save my life, but this should be ...... compared to his incomparably powerful magical abilities It won't do a lot of harm to himself, right? I said uncertainly, but I vaguely felt that the truth was not what I said it was.

"Actually...... Ever since you were ten years old, Mr. Vitan has been constantly infusing his own life energy into your body, consuming a huge amount of mana to transform your body...... In other words, Teacher Vitan is sacrificing his own life to achieve your ...... In this way, his lifespan was shortened by at least five hundred years......"

"Why...... I didn't notice it at all...... "Vivien's words struck me with a strong shock.

"This is because during the spell on you, Master Vitan always takes advantage of you to fall asleep or first performs the sleep spell on you, and unconsciously injects magic into your body to transform your meridians...... Not only does it transform your life constitution, but it also plants the seeds of magic in you, although it does not directly inject magic into your body, and it will not appear when you are not practicing magic, but once you practice magic, the effect is quite obvious.

"For more than seven years, Mr. Vitan has been cultivating your magical qualities, which is much more difficult than the simple inheritance of magic between magicians - the latter is imposed from outside, and the former is generated from within. Therefore, your future magical achievements are infinitely malleable, and under the inner effect of magic, it further strengthens your temperament, so that you often inadvertently reveal magical charm and kingly demeanor, which is convincing and willing to follow. ”

"The teacher sacrificed like this...... Is it worth it? "I can't help but ask myself, Master Vitan gave me life, am I qualified to deprive him of his life to fulfill myself?

"It's worth it!" Vivien affirmed, "The teacher is not doing this for you alone, but for all mankind!" Your life is no longer yours alone, you are everyone's! You are tied to the future of all mankind! For the sake of the teacher, for the sake of all those who love you and your loved ones, you must cheer up and bring a better tomorrow to the Shenglun Continent! ”

"Vivien, I see!" I stood up, with a resolute expression, a powerful momentum that flowed at will, intertwined with the fierce night wind.

Teacher, please take a good look at Alex in another dimension! Continuing your life in my life, and imprinting your memory in my memory—from now on, in order to achieve your goal and dominate the world, I will do whatever it takes, sacrifice at any cost, not afraid of danger, regardless of the consequences, pave the red carpet leading to the throne with blood, and polish my crown with blood and fire! ……

That morning, for the first time since the death of Mr. Vitan, I convened a political-military meeting with Memphis and a core member of the Hurricane.

At the meeting, I put forward the idea of establishing a state and building an army, using Meinster as the name of the country, and formulated a strategy to unify the "Heart of Death" desert in the short term - after eliminating the "Night Fire" and "Black Hawk", it is not difficult to do this, now it is only necessary to eliminate their remnants and some small groups of thieves, and then publish the status of the country after it has become a fact, and completely abandon the identity of the "Hurricane" sand pirates in the past.

In the past, because of the rampant use of sand pirates, the political, economic, and military value was not revealed, but once a unified country was formed, it was completely different, and once the looters of the desert became the protectors of the desert merchants, it was estimated that the surrounding countries dominated by merchants would welcome it.

Moreover, once the founding of the People's Republic of China, the taxes and fees for business travel are a considerable and stable source of income, coupled with the establishment of large-scale trading bazaars on the desert oasis, arming themselves with resources such as iron ore, copper ore, and aluminum ore produced in the desert and exporting them to the outside world, the financial revenue will be continuously increased, and more and more people will be attracted to settle here and engage in commercial activities, and the strength and prosperity of Mainster will be just around the corner.

As for the question of the formation of the army, which is also the primary issue for the establishment of the country, and the armed forces are one of the foundations on which the state depends, after some discussions, everyone has reached a preliminary consensus on the establishment of an army with cavalry and camel soldiers as the mainstay, supplemented by infantry. This is mainly due to the fact that in the vast desert, the mobility of the army is very important, in addition to strength, location and speed are the key to victory or defeat.

Eventually, I made an alliance with Memphis, and the Hurricanes formally pledged allegiance to me—and Meinster became the first nation I founded, known as the "Meinster Alliance."

This day is April 24, 1891 in the Saint-Lun calendar, a day that will be remembered and talked about by future generations, and the waves that swept across the continent will begin here.
