Chapter 351 Chapter 340 Nine "I would like to imprison myself with 'eternal life'"

……

In the resplendent hall, Su Mingan is enjoying the legendary "royal treatment".

Various dishes are placed on the long table covered with tablecloth, and there are dancers dancing on the side.

Princess Tulip, the highest in Playa, was sitting beside him, enjoying the dance.

He looked up, and the beautiful dancers in the audience were winking at him.The aroma of wine is lingering, the exquisite dishes are dazzling, and the room seems to be filled with pink heat.

But he still remembered Galder's daughter lying in bed coughing.

"Su Lin." The princess said suddenly.

Shaking the wine glass in her hand, her light-colored eyes seemed to also smell of alcohol:
"I love this land."

"Oh." Su Mingan responded indifferently.

"What? Don't you think it doesn't look like it?" She took a sip of her wine and smiled softly.

"picture."

"No, you don't think so." The princess said: "...Because you haven't carefully observed the changes in the land of Praia after the establishment of the barrier."

"..."

"Look, the barrier is established, the storm subsides, the sea monster is suppressed, the people are in a glorious and proud battle, and everything seems to be full of vitality..." said the princess:

"The peace of Praia is built on the sacrifices of generations, and its prosperity is due to our sacrifices - the destruction of the body, the decay of the soul, the distortion of the will of the generations...

"Everything that seems absurd to you is actually the most valuable. They are all 'sacrifices', but the human factor is too heavy, and it seems like a meaningless political struggle belonging to the royal family's conspirators.

"But actually, Su Rin, you have seen too few tragedies, and you don't understand what I have done.

"The situation in Praia is not plentiful, it does not allow anyone to be free, it does not accept naive ideas, romance and freedom of humanity are not allowed here. All battles are necessary battles, once you avoid them One match will only be filled with more sacrifices.

"I don't need to say more, you who have done similar things should understand this. Because there is no way to make everyone happy without 'sacrificing'.

"Over the past 60 years, I have fabricated many lies, killed many innocent 'petri dishes', captured seriously injured soul hunters, and killed unruly soul clans, so that they can enshrine me and achieve my goal Albert, so that my blessing can continue.

"I am alive, but I don't enjoy the freedom of eternal life. I can leave this disaster-ridden land and go to the comfortable new empire to enjoy my long life.

"—and it was because I loved it here, in awe of the land as I loved myself, that I stayed.

"I have traveled every inch of the land where I was born and raised, and met countless residents, young or old.

"I listened to their wishes, used lies to continue the majesty of the royal family, and used fabricated royal power struggles to lure those with evil intentions out of the hole.

"...I love this land.

"I care about its future and love everyone who lives on this land. Whether they are poor or rich, whether their hearts are beautiful or ugly. In my eyes, they are all living in Praia Every drop of water is the soul of Praia.

"Their deaths must be meaningless. I command them and carefully arrange the ending of each of them. I let everyone work hard for a tomorrow.

"...I love it here.

"I am willing to imprison myself with 'eternal life', facing people who are exactly like me and may replace me at any time.

"Today's Praia has become a giant tree, even though the borers are constantly growing, the trunk and branches are growing densely, it still has the opportunity to continue to live.

"But if Praia didn't have me, the conspirators would rule the land, the senseless wars would never stop, and people would never be as peaceful as they are today. What you see is not what it is today .

"...I will not admit defeat, I believe in Praia's tomorrow, so I am willing to enjoy the shackles called 'eternal life'.

"And all of this, Su Rin.

"You can't even understand."

When the princess said this, her voice paused.

"Then what if you die?" Su Mingan suddenly said.

The princess turned her head. At this moment, she saw that a long knife fluctuating with subtle white light was pressed against her face, and the tip of the knife pointed at her unprotected neck.

"If I die." The princess didn't look nervous: "The sea monsters around will lose control, and no one will check Praia's enchantment every day. I am an irreplaceable existence, the gods should have told you , you won't kill me, Su Rin."

Su Mingan frowned slightly.

Even though his knives were pointed at the other party, the other party's favorability remained unchanged and did not show.

From the beginning to the end, the princess's favor for him seems to have remained the same, and he can't even see the initial value.

"I don't care about your ideas. I just want to make a deal with you when I come back this time," he said.

"You said."

"I shouldn't be able to go back to Soulhunting. I hope you can give me the items in the exchange point." Su Mingan continued.

He had discovered before that his Soul Hunting contribution leaderboard had been frozen. Although the contribution point was still the first in the entire dungeon, the entire interface was grayed out.

"You can go back." The princess smiled: "The news of Ellas' death has been blocked, and no one knows what happened last night - as long as you want, you can even become the next soul hunting leader. Su Rin, you are a god The existence that adults are most optimistic about is also the only one who can come down from Yunshangcheng, as long as you are obedient and not rebellious, you can get whatever you want."

Su Mingan was a little surprised.

...Fortunately, he caught the line of the princess.

"What if I'm not the leader?" His tone was hesitant.

"Who do you want to recommend?" asked the princess.

"A new S-level soul hunter from the soul hunting camp, named Amber." He said, "What if I want to recommend him?"

The "amber" in his mouth is exactly the shadow.

This guy has been lurking in the soul hunting camp, wearing a black mask the whole time, working hand in hand with Lu Shuyin and his like, and has wiped out many soul clan strongholds.

The coquettish name "Amber" was also chosen by Ying himself, and has nothing to do with him.

When he was doing missions through the plot here, Ying would frantically collect contribution points over there, making the other players miserable.

Su Ming'an has already planned to let Ying be the leader of the soul hunter, and he will be the leader of the soul clan here, which is a double-sided situation, so that those players who are addicted to the soul clan and fail to take into account the overall situation of the plot will suffer a lot from the feast at sea.

Facing his gaze, the princess covered her mouth and smiled.

"Of course." She smiled: "In this case, I will let him succeed Alras before the feast at sea. I will let him take the things in the contribution."

Hearing her affirmative words, Su Ming'an felt the final word in his heart.

...and finally got it.

His strategy strategy in the copy has always been the ultimate plot flow.

Unlike the vast majority of players who violently spawn monsters, he took the most extreme and the most comprehensive route.

The dungeon process of ordinary players basically follows the trend. If there is any task in front of them, they will do it step by step. When they see an NPC, they will be obedient. Generally speaking, there will be no danger.

Like this Playa dungeon, as long as the player joins a decent team or buys some npcs at the beginning, their night session will not be too difficult, even if they find a cleaned area to hide.

This kind of route is not shameful, on the contrary, it is very common, because people like Lu Shuyin also do the same, and their harvest is not low at all. Killing the soul clan has obtained a lot of good things, and the process is very easy.

...But Su Mingan can't.

Because his goal has never been an ordinary customs clearance.

... He is bound to take the initiative to get caught up in the plot and walk into the most dangerous link.

And now, the last key point has also been won.

Su Mingan retracted the knife, turned and left.

……

Originally, he wanted to go back to the southern district directly, but Su Mingan saw an acquaintance in front of the city wall of the king's city.

A blond-haired knight in golden armor was talking with a young man wearing the armor of the Royal City Guard. The two chatted happily, as if they were good friends.

Su Mingan recognized that these two people who only chatted and didn't stand guard were Sheld and Noel.

Noel is serving in the Royal City, and now that Sherwood has been promoted as a Knight of the Royal City, it is not surprising that the two get together.

Sheld's expression was a little anxious.

He was in a coma all night last night, not knowing what happened afterwards, not knowing the news of Elrath's death, nor Gard's ending.

All he knew was that early this morning, he was honored as a Knight of the Royal City, and he suddenly realized the dream he had been looking forward to before.

"Last night... Garder..." He seemed to want to ask.

"By the way, you can help send this photo to the Soul Hunting headquarters." Su Mingan stuffed Gard's family photo into Sheld's hands.

He can't go back anymore, so it's better to let Sheld to see him off.As for Noel, they can chat as a team if they have something to do, there is no need to stand face to face.

"wait wait wait."

Sherwood followed in a few steps: "Captain, it happens to be my twin sister's birthday in a few days. I want to exchange gifts with her. It just so happens that she likes you very much and wants to meet you, the legendary S-rank soulhunter." ..."

Su Mingan didn't look back.

He knew that once he left, he and Sheld were on different paths.

Xie Lude is a knight of light who hates evil like hatred, and is a pawn controlled by the camp to hate. If he knows that the "captain" is actually the leader of the soul clan, there will only be hostility in his heart.

When we meet again, it will be on the battlefield of the Sea Feast.

The dispute between the two clans will not change because of a short friendship.

"Captain, captain, don't you want to choose gifts with me? Captain, that barbecue restaurant..." Sheld's voice floated behind.

Su Mingan didn't look back.

He walked on, leaving Sherrod's voice behind him, through Thirteenth Street.

Snow has begun to fall in the sky, and this snow has started since the early morning.

The system time has reached December 2023, 12, and tonight is Christmas Eve.

... Who would have known that Praia, which has always been hot, started snowing at this time.

Perhaps this is the eerie precursor to a feast at sea.Some players who are not prepared to keep out the cold will definitely be troubled by this.

The snow is not too big, it's just sloppy, falling on the body like white flakes.

Su Mingan paused for a while, but still glanced into the street.

In that low bungalow, there was no sound of the loom, not even the faint cough.

I heard from the nearby residents that the Gard family had moved out, saying that they had already gone to sea.

She should already know that her father is gone.

...After all, she knew that the real Su Rin couldn't drink rice wine at all.

"..."

Su Mingan stopped in place.

The house was silent at this moment.

The clothes drying pole at the door was still standing empty, the fine snow melted on it, and the spread cloth disappeared.

No one was talking there anymore, kindly telling him not to be impulsive, while bending over to dry the salted fish.

He still remembered her silver hair in the setting sun, the wrinkles on her face trembling slightly in the wind, but her smile was mixed with sweetness and sorrow.

Su Ming'an, who had just arrived in Praia at that time, thought that the soul hunting battle was honorable and just, and even felt sorry for her son Little Hell.

...But now it seems that all this is completely meaningless.

What the old lady said before has all become reality now.

...But now, Su Ming'an, who holds the two highest powers in Praia, is standing here, but she can no longer be seen.

She had already led her old man into the dusk reflected by the setting sun.
