Signoma border, rocky wilderness.

Despite its name as a wilderness, the area is actually covered with tall rock pillars and strangely shaped ravines and caves due to weathering and soil erosion.

It couldn't be a better hideout for the rebels who oppose Timothyen's Dark Alliance authorities.

"Lord Edric, are you really leaving?"

In a fairly secluded cave, a young man in simple leather armor with half of his face wrapped around bandages asked worriedly.

He had a bloodstained machete tied to his waist, and he had a lot of scars on his body, and his expression was full of the kind of fierce momentum that had been tempered through the battle on the battlefield.

It's just that this kind of young man with a murderous aura all over his body showed a reluctant expression like a little boy in the face of Xiwei.

He would never forget how the man in front of him had brought together the stragglers who had survived the demon invasion and pulled out an army of high morale out of thin air in those villages that had been mermaids.

Even the weapons they used were provided by this lord with magical spells.

Although they have now made a name for themselves, even after the adult is gone, there are still many young people in the village who are eager to become part of their resistance, and many human weapons dealers have expressed their willingness to secretly provide them with weapons.

But all of this is almost all thanks to the adult in front of him.

"Jonny, as the leader of the resistance, you can't be so sentimental all the time."

Sivi smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder.

"If it weren't for you. There was no resistance at all! ”

Unlike the average member of the Resistance, as a former colonel of the government army, Jonny knew very well that this adult was not just a powerless scholar-type traveling mage as he appeared to be.

If it weren't for him, I'm afraid the rebels would have been wiped out countless times by Timothyen's demonic forces.

"If you want, even if I give up the position of leader of the resistance......"

Halfway through his excited speech, Jonny was silenced by Sivi.

"The leader of the rebels can only be you. You lead your men to defeat the enemy's demon armies time and time again. Your prestige, your image, your words have long since infiltrated the psychology of every member of the Resistance. With a smile on his face, Sivi explained to Jonny, "Only if you are in front of you will the morale of the rebels be high. ”

"You...... Was you prepared for this in the first place? ”

Reminiscent of Sivi, every time he fights, he hides behind the scenes and gives advice. Only let yourself show your face. Jonny's face was complicated.

"Listen to Jonny, I'm a magician."

Sivi calmly continued, "I'm not that noble or royal mage, I'm not a member of the Seven Yao Mage Tower Mage Council, or even a believer in the Divine Light. I will not be bound by any terms or regulations. I'm just a lover of research and freedom. A magician who travels in the Eastern Plains. So. No matter what happens, I'm not going to be the leader of the Resistance, you understand? ”

"But ......"

Jonny turned. A punch hit the rock wall, and the already not very hard wall was immediately punched into a pit, and his tone was full of confusion and unwillingness: "But if you are gone, what will the rebels do?" Where is our future? ”

"Everything is on track for the rebels. The only thing missing now is the accumulation and run-in of time. ”

Sivi scratched his head, and somewhat helplessly gave the leader who lacked a little self-confidence the last piece of advice: "What you have to think about now is not how to maintain 'my' resistance army, but how to form 'your' own resistance army. ”

As he spoke, he re-showed a gentle smile as if looking at his student: "No problem, believe in yourself a little more, you are a guy who can do well if you want to." ”

Jonny turned his head and looked at Sivi, tears of emotion streaming down his bare eye.

"Lord Edric......"

"I'm actually a little more worried about your left eye than that."

Xiwei changed his words, sighed, and the expression on his face became serious again: "I've already said it, right?" Although the soul device has a strong power, it can also bring misfortune to the user...... It's too late for you to regret it now, I can help you get it out. ”

"Well, I've decided. I want to be as great as Lord Edric. ”

Jonny nodded, stroked the bandaged left side of his face with one hand, and said with the same serious expression, "Moreover, if it weren't for this soul device you gave me, more comrades would definitely die in yesterday's battle...... Even if it is to protect them better, I can't give up this soul device! ”

"In that case, then I won't say anything more. Saran and Sophia are still waiting for me outside the cave, and we'll see you next time. ”

Xiwei took two steps back: "May the Goddess of the Seven Yao protect you." ”

"May the god of war protect you."

After saying goodbye to each other, Sivi took Sharan and Sophia and rode in a toothed cart provided by the rebels, heading west.

But they didn't go far before the vampire Celestial Princess, dressed in a bright red princess dress, and her retinue, the archdemon Asacher, appeared in front of them.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time. Lord Edric. ”

"I've been waiting, Timothy Lord of the Night."

Sivi also responded with dignity.

"We thought you were going to stay in that rebel army for half a year."

The girl didn't seem to hear the thorn in Sivi's words, as if she was chatting with a friend, and continued: "It's really a little impatient for us to wait. ”

It was Asachel behind the girl who stared at Sivi with a frown.

Sharan seemed to want to say something, but after looking back and forth between Sivi and the vampire princess, she felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little weird, so she shrank back and forth. Didn't speak.

"I'm sorry for you."

Xiwei took off his hat very gentlemanly and bent down to the girl: "Before that, I also want to thank His Highness for the reminder he gave me last time." ”

"Isn't it a matter of course to help allies?" The girl curled the corners of her mouth and smiled kindly.

Seeing that the girl said so naturally, Xiwei, who didn't remember that she had promised to form an alliance at all, was stunned, and casually opened the prestige panel of the academy system.

The words sworn enemy inherited from the Night Nobles still shine behind the powerful name of Timothyen's Dark Alliance.

But among the extra Northwest rebels under Timothyan, his popularity had reached the level of reverence.

"I'm sorry, but we Edric are just an academy, and we don't seem to have the ability to ally with the norm yet."

So Xiwei decisively broke up with the other party: "Besides, I also had some unpleasant past with you before. So in order to avoid creating more friction. I think it's better not to talk about alliances casually. ”

"Hehe, don't be nervous, we are optimistic about your future. And, even if there was unpleasantness before. As long as there is something between our two top executives. Wouldn't that be a problem? ”

Princess Celestia smiled seductively. Sticking out his bright red tongue and licking his plump red lips, his beautiful face matched with the charm of a vampire. The mental impact caused by a moment even made Sophia, who is also a woman, a little nervous.

Fortunately, Sivi immediately coughed dryly, which brought Sophia back to her senses.

"Really...... It's so shameless......"

Sophia blushed, gritted her teeth and muttered softly behind Sivi.

It's a pity that she seems to have forgotten who was there, except for her, all of them are monsters with perceptual perversions......

"Humans over there, you're so rude!" The Great Demon Asacher's eyes flashed fiercely, and he immediately opened his mouth to reprimand.

"It doesn't matter."

However, the vampire princess still had a playful look: "Human girl, in fact, our family doesn't mind the three of us together." ”

"No, no kidding!" Sophia was obviously not resistant to such words, and could only scream in embarrassment with a red face.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Suddenly, the vampire princess regained her serious expression: "Our family seems to have said something wrong. ”

"I don't think that's the wrong level......"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little serious, Sophia recovered from the shame just now.

"It's okay for you to come along, Shalan, even if there are four of us, it's no problem!"

"Give me almost!" Sophia shouted at the top of her voice.

"Is that okay?"

The little vampire flapped his wings and asked in surprise.

"Sharan doesn't want to go along with her with a twinkle in her eyes!" Sophia immediately complained: "Anyway, Xiwei, you should also say something!" ”

“……………… Four people together or something, I'm not interested at all. ”

"What's going on with that suspicious pause up front!"

Of course, it's because even if you've become a great magician, someone will occasionally have a time to think about it......

After the farce lasted for a few minutes, Sophia, who had been complaining all the time, was finally too tired to speak.

"Now, Lord Edric, this subordinate of yours is very fond of our family, how about exchanging three cities with you?"

Princess Celestia asked interestingly, pointing at Sophia.

"I'm sorry, she's not for sale." Sivi spreads his hands.

"That's a shame."

Her Royal Highness the Vampire Princess sighed, and she didn't know if it was her acting skills, and that disappointed expression was heart-wrenching.

"It is the highest honor to be regarded by Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Asacheel, the poor man who had been completely excluded from the farce just now, immediately jumped out and brushed up his presence.

It's just that his words have been automatically filtered out by Sivi.

"Asachel, be quiet."

Her Royal Highness the vampire princess took out a fan from there and said with a light fan.

"I'm sorry." The Great Demon immediately retreated respectfully behind her.

"Well, then, it's almost time to get down to business."

After drinking off her loyal dog, the girl became serious again: "Our family knows what you think." But this time, we will take the initiative to find you, and naturally there is a reason......"

She closed the fan with a 'snap', and pointed at Xiwei's nose and said loudly, "Join forces with our family to save the world together!" ”

"I refuse."

Then he was rejected by Sivisecond.

Although I don't know what exactly it means. However, Sivi has had enough of this kind of work in the name of "saving the world" and "saving mankind".

"If nothing else, then we'll go first."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any intention of staying, Sivi beckoned Sophia and Sharan and prepared to leave here.

"I don't know what's going on in the Dao, but Lord Edric, you are completely different from what you were in your academy before." At this time, the vampire princess suddenly said loudly.

Nonsense, because I've become a great magician......

Sivi had just thought that in his heart, and the other party continued as if sensing his thoughts.

"Of course, what we said. It's not about your strength. It's something more fundamental. She said with a burst of blood: "Your concept of good and evil and right and wrong seems to have begun to deform. ”

"I think it's a sign of deformity for a vampire to say what is right and wrong." Sivi stopped, turned around and retorted, "Or does Her Highness the Night King think that I should go to war as soon as I see you?" ”

"You're talking about racial differences. For vampires. Sucking blood is just as normal as you humans eating bread. That kind of 'evil' is just the definition of human beings. ”

Princess Vampire quibbled.

"Do you think this level of crookedness will convince me?" Sivi frowned.

"We don't plan to revise your three views in this regard. But this time we're going to talk about something else - for our family. No, even for you, through war between two countries. Achieving annexation and unification...... Is this considered evil? ”

"Then it depends on annexation and other means, right?" Sivi frowned and chose a panacea-style compromise answer.

"So, a little more pure...... The relative unity of humanity, the change of rulers, is this considered evil? The girl asked tightly.

"This can't be said purely by the dualism of good and evil, right?"

Xiwei was not confused by the other party's words, and still maintained a clear mind.

"That's right, whether it is possession, development, or domination, in fact, it is not true or not...... However, the civilization of every race is inseparable from these three. For our family, this is just like plants will bloom and bear fruit, animals will forage for food and hunger, and both animals and plants need to breathe, which is a manifestation of the law of nature. The girl nodded: "However, in addition to this, there are also some existences that will disrupt the order." They don't know how to conquer, they only know how to destroy, they don't know how to create, they can only destroy, this kind of thing that completely doesn't obey the rules, and will bring a series of troubles to our family, for our family, is pure evil. ”

The vampire princess paused, and finally said: "For you now, even if this pure evil appears in front of you, as long as it doesn't endanger yourself, it doesn't matter if you leave it alone?" ”

Indeed it is.

After choosing to spread the dangerous item of the soul device to various parts of the Eastern Plains, Xiwei fell into the broken window effect.

Even if you can't do some things in the Dao, but you feel that you have already done bad things anyway, even if you do a few more things and become a completely wicked person, what about that?

By the way, this state can also be called a broken jar - 'Anyway, it's already done, what kind of pure is it!' That's pretty much what it feels like.

"Join forces with our family and save the world together, right?"

Princess Vampire looked at the silent Sivi, then stretched out her hand again to invite.

After hesitating for a while, Xiwei suddenly woke up: "Wait, although you said so much, you still haven't said any specific reason for saving the world, right?" What exactly is pure evil? ”

"The exact thing, in fact, our family is not very clear, but it should be related to the mythological era."

The girl, who didn't care at all that she almost succeeded in deceiving Sivi's feelings, said with peace of mind: "But the only thing that is certain is that it must be something very dangerous. ”

"There should be a lot of high-level demons under your command, as well as vampire dukes and marquises, right?"

Sivi frowned and looked at Asachel behind the girl, now he could understand that the other party appeared in front of him was just an empty shell, and the main body of the Great Demon was not here: "Even so, is it okay to take that thing?" ”

"The age of mythology is the age of miracles...... Some miracles are not something that can be piled up by numbers alone. ”

Princess Vampire replied rather frankly, "The only thing that can suppress miracles is miracles." To be honest, we suspect that if we throw that thing away at Hohenheim, we might be able to tear down that annoying Seven Obsidian Tower. ”

In this case, she should also be afraid that her power will be exhausted in this battle, giving the human race a chance to counterattack.

"But then again," Seavi asked, puzzled, "in that case, why don't you just throw that thing you said to Hohenheim?" ”

"Of course, it's because we're still useful for things related to that thing...... Plus a little bit of the pride of the nobility of the night. ”

The girl straightened up completely different from Shalan's, her choppy breasts, and a proud expression appeared on her face: "How is it?" Do you want to join forces? ”

After thinking about it for a moment, Sivi raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and a void door opened next to Sophia and them: "Sophia, Sharan, you go back to Adric first." ”

"Do you want to stay alone?" Sophia, who had recovered a long time ago, shook her head: "This is too dangerous...... And ......"

And there's no need for us to help the vampires.

Although Sophia wanted to say that, because Sharan was next to her, and the other party's perception was not weak, it was easy to hear her words.

"I'm sorry, I want to try, take a look at my own heart......" Xiwei touched his chest: "Don't worry, as long as the other one is okay, I won't really die." ”

"Isn't Sharan here for a while?" Princess Vampire asked.

But the little vampire shook his head, "Edric needs me. ”

"I was rejected twice a day, and this is the first time my family has experienced this sad feeling."

Having said this, Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess had a smile on her face, and she didn't mean any 'sadness' at all: "Then, Your Excellency Edric, it's almost time to go." Let's let you see the most beautiful mirror in the world! (To be continued......)
