Saint-Bière Tower, the sacrificial lounge on the top floor.

Outside the window, a storm was going on, and dense raindrops were pouring on the floor-to-ceiling windows with strong winds, like countless whips, and the glass crackled.

It was already late at night, and it was cold and rainy outside, but the rest was lit up with warm lights.

The top floor of the Tower of San Bière is quiet, like a separate and enclosed private space, isolated from the rest of the world.

Hicks, the high priest, came out of the bathroom, his long, wavy white blonde hair draped behind his shoulders, and his wet hair was dripping with water, looking extremely charming.

She was delicate, fair-skinned, and had an exaggerated figure of up to 1.9 meters, but her body was very well-proportioned, not bulky, and she looked like a female knight, but this warrior was actually the supreme leader of the Abundance Order, the most revered saint in the human world.

She was only in her twenties on the surface, but in fact she was close to one hundred and seventy years old, and the reason why she was able to maintain her youth and beauty was entirely because she had cultivated her spirit to the realm of a saint.

“......”

Hicks walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the brightly lit city below, his emerald eyes full of tenderness and love.

After a few moments, she sat down on the side of the bed, took a box full of skin care products, and applied various anti-freckle creams, anti-aging agents, and condensed milk to her body...... Hicks patiently cares for his skin, moving meticulously and calmly. Her hands went from her neck to her shoulders to her chest, then over her waist, then over her thighs, calves, and feet...... Carefully rub each area several times.

When Hicks put down his hand, the white body was like fine porcelain, exuding a brilliant luster in the light.

Sneer——!

Only a slight vision was heard in the silence, but when it was heard again, it seemed to be just the sound of the wind.

Immediately afterward, the priestess felt the light of the space dim slightly, and narrowed her eyes vigilantly—and at that moment, a long sword of snow fell from back to front and rested on her neck.

"Who is it?"

Hicks smiled at the corners of his lips, and there was no difference in his expression, as if the owner of the sword was a friend he knew.

"High Priest Hicks, right?" the Assassin asked in a cold voice.

"I seem to know who you are......"

Hicks looked at the mirror in the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes met the pair of golden pupils, and said with a chuckle: "You are the golden dragon Lina who has been making trouble in various towers in the past few years and has caused the security agencies to have a great headache, right?

"Yes, I'm here specifically to kill you, but before I kill you, I want you to answer my questions. Lina's eyes locked on her body as she spoke, and if the woman moved slightly, she would seal her throat with a sword as fast as she could.

"I know what you want to ask. Hicks looked at Lina's face, and his cold gaze seemed to penetrate her heart: "But I can't seem to give you any answer...... If you want the truth, go to the magic kings of each tower. ”

The human forces in this world are confederate states with twelve mage towers as the core and radiating to the surrounding areas.

In other words, the magic kings in the twelve mage towers are the rulers of the entire human world.

The Magic King resides in the Mage Tower, high up like a god, and does not interfere in human affairs, but chooses agents to rule the world, and the Order of Abundance is their partner.

"After I leave you, I'll go to the Magic King to settle scores!" Lina kissed her neck with her sword, the blade slicing through her skin, and scarlet blood oozing from the wound, "But you have to tell me what good it will do you to indulge those orcs." ”

"If your so-called benefit is the selfish interest of the Abundance Order, then I can only tell you that we will not gain anything from it. Hicks replied calmly.

"You're lying!" Lina looked at her expressionless face and suddenly felt like she was being fooled.

"Everything we do is in pursuit of true equality. ”

Hicks looked at her with a look of pity, and said lightly: "All souls are equal, and everything we do is to resolve disputes between races. ”

"You call those acts of connivance with the orcs the settlement of disputes?" Lina gritted her teeth and gurgled her eyes, as if they were about to erupt into flames.

"You only see the pain in front of you, but you don't see a bright future. ”

"I don't see any hope for such a future. Lina's pupils contracted, revealing a cold glow.

"O lost lamb. ”

Hicks stretched out the index finger of his left hand, gently pushed away the sharp blade, and said calmly: "After our years of hard work, the orcs have learned to express their demands in the form of protest, isn't this progress? Isn't it worth celebrating the reconciliation of the two races by peaceful means?"

"Ridiculous!"

Lina slashed off her fingers with a sword, putting the blade back on her neck, "You're just taking advantage of humanity's goodwill to pay for your spiritual pursuits...... Hicks, you're not a saint at all!"

"You can't say that. ”

Hicks didn't see his injured finger, but put down his left hand and said with a little solemnity:

"Everyone in the Order of Fengsu is dying, and all members of the Order, including me, spend a lot of time each year pacifying the orcs and providing them with their physiological and survival needs. I have given my entire fortune to contribute to a better future, and I have already raised 6 orc cubs myself...... I'm doing my job. It's understandable to say that we influence others, but it's a mistake to think that we want others to pay for our spiritual pursuits. ”

"It's disgusting!" Lina almost threw up at her stomach at her breath.

"That's because your vision is too narrow, looking at the whole world, human beings are just animals, and all souls are equal. Hicks looked at her face and said mockingly: "Everything we do is in line with the times, you will feel disgusted...... That's because your mind can't keep up with the times. ”

"So, your solution to the conflict between humans and orcs is to have half-bloods replace the two races?" asked Lina suddenly.

"Of course. She nodded happily.

"Then your approach is as pedantic as your thoughts. Lina narrowed her eyes, and a sneer on the corner of her lips: "As long as the orcs disappear, won't the contradiction be resolved?"

"That's immoral. Hicks replied without hesitation.

"Morality?"

Lina shook her head as if she had heard a joke: "It is not conducive to human morality, it is the greatest immorality. ”

The moment the words fell, she swept her sword across Hicks's neck, whipping up a strand of scarlet blood.

The priestess's head slipped off her shoulders, her eyes looked at her vacantly, her pupils gradually dilated, her lips furled, and she said with her mouth:

"Why...... You will have such evil thoughts. ”

Lina smiled with relief when she saw this, leaned into her ear, and said softly: "Because the teacher told me that everything must be people-oriented, and you are doing this at the expense of the basics, and it is a group of mental tumors!"

Hicks looked at him coldly and said with his last strength, "So...... Your teacher is the most evil demon......"

"Farewell, to hell with your morals. ”

Lina picked up the priestess's headless corpse, walked quickly to the floor-to-ceiling window, and after kicking the glass with a side kick, she threw the priestess's body into the free zone with all her strength.

In the wind and rain, Lina watched as Hicks's corpse fell to the ground, being eaten by the orcs who smelled blood, and gradually smiled happily.

......

The next day, the head of the priestess appeared in the most prominent position in the city, attracting countless onlookers.

Many people spontaneously stepped forward to hold a memorial service for her in the same place, crying while accusing the murderer of his bad behavior. More people listened silently, and the orcs in the free zone were nostalgic for the delicious meat meal that fell from the sky last night.

But there are also people who look at this scene with expressionless faces, their eyes full of mockery and pleasure...... They were afraid to show it, so it seemed that the whole city was mourning Hicks' death.

Lina, who was hiding on the side, could feel the subtle transformation of people's hearts.

One by one, one by one

The head of the Twelve Towers, the Mage Tower of the Magic King Byron Laar.

Byron Lal sat on the silver throne, wiping a dark crystal in his hand that was as hideous as a heart, and his old face was full of solemnity, and the dark purple light of the crystal fell on half of his face, making him look like a silhouette, half in the light and shadow.

He looked at the Dark Crystal carefully and muttered, "Hicks is dead...... After 30 years, another demon race has been born? My prediction is indeed correct. ”

"Back to the master! The murderer is most likely the golden dragon Lina. One of the Death Knights said respectfully.

"Who is she?"

"A ranger. Hearing the master's inquiry, the Death Knight hurriedly replied carefully: "She didn't know how to hunt a golden dragon, and drank the blood of the golden dragon's heart to gain strength." It's been a few years now, and Hicks' death may be her biggest achievement. ”

"Dragon Warrior Lina......" The Magic King slowly chewed on the name, and suddenly asked nervously, "Is there any possibility for her to become a 'brave'?"

"Since the master united with other mage towers to implement the hybrid policy, there has been no 'brave' for more than a hundred years...... Relying on dragon blood alone, she is not enough to become a 'brave man'. The Death Knight replied unequivocally.

"I'm worried. ”

A trace of worry flashed in the magic king's eyes, and he said heavily:

"The 'Brave' is not only the mortal enemy of the Demon King, but also our enemy...... When they are born, they always create unrealistic illusions among the untouchables and thus shake our rule. So...... It's better to cut off that abominable bloodline...... The Demon King can be left to us to deal with. ”

Speaking of this, Byron Ral's expression became excited, and he suddenly stood up from the throne: "The dragon warrior Lina must die! If she is allowed to do anything wrong, the half-blood plan will be ruined, and those untouchables must not be allowed to wake up!"

"Yes...... I'll deal with her myself!" the Death Knight immediately stroked his chest and bowed, and quickly exited the main hall.

......

Silent City, Throne of the Machines.

In front of the information matrix, Evan looked extremely irritable, and he didn't know how many times he urged: "Xiaoxi, how long are you going to grind? I've been in this mentally retarded world for 15 years!"

"Master, don't blame me, it's only so slow if the data isn't enough. ”

Xiao Xi explained unusually aggrieved, and then fed him a reassuring pill: "Don't worry, there will be two more years of coordinates to be calculated, you must keep a low profile in these two years, and don't be found by Carosso's followers again." ”

"I couldn't be more cautious over the years, and I will continue to be so cautious. Ivan replied clearly.

"Yes? I don't know anything else, but the spokesperson I chose is obviously very problematic! Not only is he not low-key, but he also causes trouble all day long, and now he is about to rebel. Xiao Xi complained.

"You get it again!"

"Then master, tell yourself, what good can that girl bring you? With what she is doing now, it would be nice not to cause you trouble. ”

"You can rest assured,"

Evan waved his hand disappreciatively, and then explained, "The sword I gave her has the mark of my strength...... I'm not going to let her expose me. ”

"It's worthy of the master, it's really insidious!" Xiao Xi immediately changed his tone.

"Alright, shut up. ”

Evan first scolded, then shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "I'm just just in case, I hope she doesn't do stupid things." ”

At this moment, the space inside the Throne of Machines suddenly rippled.

He was immediately alert, but it didn't take long for him to sense a familiar fluctuation of power.

Immediately afterwards, a linear shimmer burst out from the ripples, gradually outlining the figure of the golden clown:

"Lord Evan, I've finally found you. ”

"The Golden Clown!? How is this possible!?"

Evan looked at the figure coming from the depths of the ripples, his face full of disbelief.

At this moment, the Golden Clown's body was in tatters, and he looked like he had suffered quite serious damage, so he was a little sluggish. But the moment it saw Evan, it immediately became energetic, and said with great enthusiasm:

"It's great that you're okay...... I know you're going to be fine!"

"How did you do that?" said Ivan as he spoke, immediately releasing light energy to repair its body.

The golden clown looked at him and said excitedly: "In the black box of Silent City, the data generated by the space-time storm, although it is very vague, gives me a general search direction. With the help of the Apostles, I managed to enter the rift in time and space - I have wandered in this world for three thousand years with the help of space gems, searching countless planets...... I've finally found you now. ”
