The war lasted for a month.

Adventurers at the level of national power alone have lost hundreds.

In the end, though, the scales of victory tipped in favor of the humans, and the octopus-like monster was wiped out by the adventurers using crowd tactics.

Unfortunately, the Celestial Veil Beast was also affected by the war and unfortunately died, falling into the deep sea along with the corpse of the octopus monster on its back.

"This is a relatively difficult calamity to deal with," said the Fairy Empress, "Fortunately, that octopus-type monster has died, and if it is allowed to escape and appear in this era, I am afraid it will be even more terrible than a natural disaster." ”

I nodded and asked, "One thing I'm not very clear, why attack this monster?" I remember that in what you just said, there was no mention of monsters attacking humans. ”

"The High Priest didn't say anything, she only said that this octopus-type monster can control people's spirits, absorb people's minds, and turn humans into walking corpses at its disposal, even if they are rescued by the people they control, these people only have half a chance of survival."

"You can't judge the character of the other person just because of the ability they have, can you?" I said seriously: "Take me as an example, the power of decay in my hands is extremely cold to anyone who looks at it, and it is full of terrifying destruction, and this alone is enough for me to be branded as 'evil in the world', but what about the truth? Not only was I not branded with that mark, but I was even welcomed and worshipped by a considerable number of foreigners, so in my opinion, there is no good or bad power, and it is the heart of the person who uses it that determines good and evil. ”

The Fairy Empress smiled and said, "Perhaps, but we must admit that its existence has brought a lot of calamity to this world." ”

Seeing that the Fairy Empress was stubborn, and continued to discuss the subject without any result for a long time, I changed the subject and pestered her to talk about several other calamities.

The Elven Empress could not resist my entanglement, so she recounted the calamities she had heard from the High Priest one by one.

A turtle the size of an island with a volcano on its back, a monster that looks like a woman but can actually transform into anything, a monster that can disguise itself as any human at will and try to drive a wedge between the ancestors and his courtiers, and a monster that looks like a wild boar carries poison and plague with all it goes, and death and despair everywhere it goes.

Poison and pestilence? Death and despair?

Hearing this, I suddenly heard the hound-like monster crouching with its back to me in the elaborate reliefs on both sides of the sewers of Ari City.

"The origin of the last calamity you mentioned, the monster that looked like a wild boar, is it called Diriji?"

The Fairy Empress stared at me for a few seconds, then said slowly, "How did you know about Dirighi?" ”

Seeing her eyes flickering, I knew I had guessed correctly, the monster that carried poison and plague with him, and was full of death and despair everywhere, was indeed Dirij.

It's just that its image is different from when I was in a fantasy, not like a wild boar, more like a hunting dog.

I groaned slightly, but decided to tell her the truth, anyway, even if I said it, it wouldn't hurt, could she still go to Ari City to verify?

Even if you do go, you may not be able to fall into the same illusion as me.

So I said, "Some time ago, I went to Eri City, and I happened to pass through the sewers there, and I saw the portrait of Dirighi, and then I fell into a fantasy, in which I confronted Diregi, who looked like a hound, for an unknown amount of time, and when I was about to leave, I asked its name, and it told me that its name was Diregi. ”

When the Fairy Empress heard this, she did not doubt me, on the contrary, she asked me with a serious expression, "What do you think and feel about Dirighi?" ”

"It's not good to say" I couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the feeling that Di Ruiji gave me: "In short, it's terrifying, and it's desperate, it seems that even if it wants to kill me, I can't muster the courage to escape, so I can only fight with all my might." ”

The Fairy Empress nodded, and said: "With your strength, when facing Di Ruiji, you can still muster the courage to fight to the death, it is really rare, you know, the original seal of Di Ruiji, but the ancestor himself, this is still under the premise of having the blessing of the artifact, if there is no artifact blessing, I am afraid that even the ancestor and his old man will be affected by the power of Di Ruiji." ”

I said in my heart that you are really persistent enough to say a few words without leaving the artifact, but unless Emily's heart knot is untied, you don't want me to continue to look for the artifact for you.

After that, we talked a little more about Diriji, but I always hid the truth that I didn't say, which was the inexplicable familiarity when I met Diriji.

That feeling told me that Diriji and I should have known me, and even had a close relationship, but I could not remember when or where I knew such a powerful being.

The topic of Diregia passed quickly, and we returned to the Island Portal.

The Fairy Empress said, "Now you should understand the reason for my closure of the island, until I figure out all the records of the Calamity, I will not allow any prerequisites that may awaken the Calamity." ”

Her words are categorical and do not allow for the slightest compromise.

"But even if you can ban the island for a while, you can't last forever," I said, "The destruction of the Calamity Record has become an established fact, and we can't make any changes, we shouldn't be choked and wasted, but we should explore the deep sea more boldly, if we can find clues related to the calamity, maybe we can use these clues to prepare one step in advance, and after a few years, the seal has lost its power, and the calamity has reappeared in the world, so it is better to catch us off guard." ”

"If I had all the artifacts, I wouldn't be afraid of any calamity, and the Forbidden Island Order would naturally be lifted......"

"Do you mean that if a calamity strikes before you get all the artifacts, you're not going to fight back?"

"I've never said anything like that, and I won't say anything like that," said the Fairy Empress, "Since the day the Fairy Clan was born, they have been constantly fighting against all kinds of calamities, and they have always taken the lead, otherwise they would not have ruled the entire Zephyr Continent and become the master of this continent." ”

"The reason why I am obsessed with those artifacts is not entirely to recreate the glory of the goblin clan, but more to prepare for the future, if there is a real calamity. With my goblin royal family and all the artifacts, at least there is a chance to turn the tables. ”

I believe that the Fairy Empress's words were sincere, but they were definitely not the main reason why she obtained the artifact.

I believe that this main reason is closely related to the glory of the elven clan in her mouth.
