Chapter 51: The Weak Race
"One man for the city...... I see, is it a way to fuse humanity and the entire city through living sacrifices, so that everything makes sense. ”
Einstein happened to know about the ritual that originally belonged to the devil, so he sorted out the context of the matter by touching the vine.
"I thought I couldn't find your breath, but it's not right, your breath is the breath of the city, so I can detect your breath all the time, but I can't find the problem. It's no wonder you'll be able to keep track of the city's insights, as you'll be able to keep an eye on almost the entire city, making it easy to shield the neighborhood or cover up the fighting. ”
Although there is also the possibility that this strange man who claims to be a city is lying, Einstein can easily distinguish the truth from the fake by using his own knowledge and insight as a reference.
"But it's strange, according to the human princess, Mephistopheles has only been in this country for less than a month, and even if you had received the ritual from the demon on the first day, you shouldn't have so many corpses. ”
There are more than 1,000 people in the surrounding city, and it is hard to imagine that thousands of people will die on the roadside in the capital of a country in a month.
"We were the king's guardians. ”
"It is our duty to dedicate all our bodies to the king. ”
"It is our long-cherished wish to dedicate all our lives to the king. ”
"Yes, I thought there was only one living sacrifice...... Forget it, this kind of thing is all good. ”
To put it simply, not only the corpses were used in the sacrifice, but also the so-called guardians were sacrificed alive. The reason why Einstein didn't think about this aspect is very simple, the living sacrifice of one person is one soul, and the living sacrifice of a hundred people is a hundred souls, and these souls that eventually have to be unified into a personality cannot be superimposed or compatible, and the more souls there are, the more unstable they are.
However, it seems that although the souls of one person for the city are also hundreds or thousands of mixed products, they are very stable, and it should be the unusually persistent loyalty as the axis that unites these souls. In a sense, this distorted form is the real me for all, everyone for me.
"What I appreciate more than inconsequential things is your loyalty. But unlike you, my life, my life, my body, and everything comes from the gifts of my Lord, but it is not enough to give these back to my master, and I must give all the things that my Lord desires, which is a small amount of gratitude. ”
The more Einstein spoke, the more fanatical he became, more than the fanatical men who were called fanatics.
......
............
For a short time, there was a blank in the conversation.
Unaffected by Einstein's rising emotions, the city was still quietly watching, and hundreds of weirdos in black maintained a calm or silent attitude, just in opposition to Einstein.
"I can't understand it, but sure enough, the most troublesome thing for human beings is that strong self-consciousness. ”
The only audience seemed to be unable to comprehend his loyalty, and Einstein paused in a boring manner.
When Einstein returned to normal, Yiwei Cheng continued to speak.
"It seems that you really have confidence in yourself. ”
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to say so much to us as enemies. ”
"No, I don't believe in myself at all, superfluous self-confidence only hinders the rationality of judgment, I only believe in the master who created himself, and I believe that the self created by the master will never be incompetent. ”
This was the second time that a man had said this for the city, and this time Einstein was in the mood to answer him.
"Moreover, you should be the one who talks a lot, and your words reveal too much inside information, and it's too easy to guess. ”
This is not a lie, Einstein himself extracted the key points from the details of the words of the city, and finally used these key points to restore the general situation.
In fact, not everyone is as omnipotent as Einstein, and it would be impossible for anyone else to extract information from just a few words like this, let alone distinguish between truth and falsehood in intelligence.
"Yes. ”
Simply leaving these two words, all the weirdos in black moved, not to continue the attack, but to retreat.
Seeing that all of them retreated into the shadows, Einstein frowned.
"What does that mean? The battle isn't over. ”
Ignoring Einstein's words, he just retreated on his own, waiting until the last one was left before speaking again.
"Our goal has been achieved, so there is no need to stay here. If you continue to get in our way, we will have a fight with you sooner or later, but not today. ”
Watching the last man slowly sink into the shadows, Einstein considered whether to leave these troublesome things here forever, but in the end, it was the highest priority to confirm the location of the master, and it would be a real dereliction of duty to make the owner wait for a long time in order to deal with something that could be killed at any time.
However, what is the so-called purpose of one person for the city? The death of the princess? This is impossible, the princess is with the master, as long as the master is unwilling, no one can kill the princess, and one person for the city will not be so stupid as to jump to conclusions without even lacking people in the result, but if the purpose is not for the death of the princess, why suddenly attack the princess.
The corners of Einstein's mouth turned up with pleasure. After seeing through a hidden event, other hidden events will continue to emerge, and complex self-consciousness and intricate thoughts will always derive new pleasures, which is the most interesting thing about human beings.
Let this little pleasure continue to ferment for a while now, nothing is more important than the host.
――――[Dividing Line]――――
The claws brushed against her face, the wind pressure made Sophia's cheeks hurt, the sprain caused by the forced twisting of the joint to avoid it was a dull pain, the fingers holding the sword began to lose sensation, and the sound of bones was a little strange.
Click.
With a sudden sound, Sophia was swept away by a powerful force, and she didn't even know what kind of attack she had been subjected to.
Falling to the ground hard, Sophia fell to the ground. This is also thanks to the fact that the enhancement of the magic pattern is reliable enough, otherwise it would have been enough to kill Sophia in this blow.
Sophia endured the pain and got up, and she couldn't have a moment of relaxation, otherwise she didn't know how she would die.
Along with the regret of hating her underestimating enemies, Sophia once again realizes the true power of the demon, as Starbucks said, the previous battle was nothing more than a play thing.
Sophia's combat power is in the upper middle of the human race, only slightly weaker than the strongest part, but even at this level, she is still easily crushed by this demon named Starbucks. His own attacks are ineffective, and the enemy's attacks need to be used to the limit of their physical abilities to avoid them dangerously, and Starbucks has still had a playful attitude so far.
The gap is too big, and even if you enter a protracted battle, only your own fatigue and pain continue to accumulate.
Conventional means don't work, humans are as weak as newborn fledglings in the face of these monsters, and perhaps only magic that is said to allow mortals to exercise extraordinary power can be used to enable humans to face these unconventional threats.
After each attack and dodge, only this belief continued to deepen in Sophia's heart.
"What's the matter, weak race, is this exhausting. ”
Weak Races...... It couldn't be more appropriate, humans are too weak, so they need the power of magic to protect themselves. Sophia, who was too tired to move, remembered her father's desire for a magician, and it was not so incomprehensible to think about it now.
The light of the karmic fire veins on Starbucks began to pulsate regularly, pumping out like a running water pump, but it would never be something as gentle as water.
"Since you're so tired, I'll send you on your way early. ”
Starbucks opened its fanged mouth, and a fire was gathering in its mouth, and even in the preparation stage, you could feel the power that could turn everything to ashes.
After stopping the movement, the more severe fatigue and pain spread like a tidal wave, and Sophia used the bayonet sword to support herself from falling, which was already the limit, and she could only watch the imminent death.
That's not bad, instead of struggling in the quagmire of no hope, and not being weak and happy to meet death. The only concern is Lucia behind her, I don't know what kind of pain the innocent beautiful girl will suffer after her death, or maybe she will die with herself in this attack, so I don't know if we will be together after death?
-- What a fantasy that doesn't work. Sophia laughed at herself, then straightened her back and looked directly at Starbucks, who had finished her preparations. Even if you die, you are not allowed to humiliate your country like a ruined dog, which is the last obligation of being a princess.
Because of the mouth open, Starbucks' voice leaked directly out of his throat.
"Goodbye, I had a great time. ”
Solidified columns of flames poured out of Starbucks' mouth, the heat distorting the air, and a fiery torrent incinerated everything in its path.
Sophia stood still, facing a fiery death.
PS: I'll start two shifts as soon as I get used to it.
Ps2: If you think the plot is a bit dragged, then I'll skip the battle of the fire?
