"Okay, okay, why don't you tell me quickly? How was the battle with that guy? It must have been a long-lost thrill, right? That guy is beyond human, a monster worthy of the name."

"...reward, remember."

"Haha, we have already agreed on this point, who said this is our agreement, right, Yuan?"

"..."

Facing Wang's high-spirited attitude, Jie Shi was completely uncontaminated by the atmosphere, and still didn't want to speak unnecessary nonsense.

"Or do you not like the name Minamoto? So what do you want to call you? Demon Sword? Or Jieshi?"

Just like the world is surrounded by the king, even if Jie showed a very cold attitude, the king still deliberately continued to ask questions.

"Put me down, I can walk by myself."

"Haha, that's not okay. With your current situation, you will probably fall if you are not careful, right? Or do you want to be treated like a princess? It's really strange that a girl Come hug a grown man like you."

tread.

Walking through countless tree trunks, he suddenly stopped. Wang did not put Jieshi on the branch, but kept smiling and looked at the huge hole in the middle of the tree trunk in front of him.

The inside of the cave is dark because of the lack of light. The size of the cave can easily accommodate more than a dozen people in and out, and the height needs to be lifted to be able to completely print the cave into the eyes.

"Okay, let's go in."

"Why do you want to go in?"

It is very clear that the king will definitely drag him in, and in addition to the need to wait for the king's reward in the future, as well as the threatening tone that the king reveals from time to time, Jie Shi is very clear that he must cooperate this time.

Because there was no time for Jieshi to catch his breath anymore.

"Oh, not bad, it looks like I'm gradually regaining my spirits."

"The point."

"As I said just now, since I let you know the result, especially you who defeated the result, you should also know the process and the cause."

"unnecessary."

"Hehe, but I want to do this, because I really want to see what kind of expression you will show when the time comes."

"I'm not a toy."

"Ahaha! Anyway, we'll know as soon as we step inside."

Treating it like a baby toy, he really hugged Jieshi like a princess, and then rushed into the hole without hesitation.

"Varied--"

Jieshi couldn't help being surprised, but it wasn't because of Wang's actions, but because he started to fall after entering the cave—falling straight to the bottom where he couldn't see the depth at all.

"Ahaha! This feeling of floating is very pleasant! Especially the fear of not being able to see how deep it is, it is really the highest level of enjoyment!"

"..."

Completely unable to understand what Wang's weird and distorted thinking was about, Jie Shi could only look at the bottom where he couldn't see how deep it was, thinking about whether his feet would be able to bear it if Wang threw himself out.

Especially now that it is difficult to walk on both feet, it is even more difficult to be safe and sound.

The action of jumping to a high altitude was naturally done by Jie Shi, but it was a safe jump after calculation and not this kind of completely unmeasurable pitch-black depth.

"This height..."

The discomfort of the continuous fall made the organs in the body move upwards, and the blood that had dried up in some parts began to bleed from the wound again because of this.

Bang, pound!

Before Jieshi could see the appearance of the ground with his naked eyes, a sound like an explosion sounded from his ears, and then the choking smoke quickly covered the entire falling passage, and a large number of cracked gravels flew everywhere—— Besides, there is only the weak acceleration of gravity pressing on him.

"Ahaha, it's really fun, but it's a pity that it's over all at once."

"...Why do you want to protect me?"

Jieshi knew very well that he would be able to reach the bottom safe and sound, that is, before touching the ground, Wang deliberately covered Jieshi to minimize the huge pressure of Jieshi falling from a high altitude to the ground.

"Because you are the most interesting toy I think so far, who would be willing to break such a toy like this?"

tread, tread.

"King, everything is ready, just waiting for you to do it yourself, and I would like to ask why you don't take the normal steps?"

The entourage beside the king, Jing Xiang, expected the position of the king, and stood near the exit not far from the beginning.

"Huh? Of course it's because it's more fun to go this way. This fear of the unknown is the best fun."

"...Please leave the king as soon as possible, everyone still needs the king's supervision."

"Okay, then Akira will help me with my broadsword and these two swords."

"Didn't you help carry this gentleman?"

"Hey, maybe this guy is a lolicon, he likes to be hugged by a girl with my figure, hahaha!"

Except for Wang's laughter, Jie Shi and Jing fell into silence.

Jing, who chose not to answer, silently walked to Wang's side and was about to take the weapon, but Wang suddenly thought of something and retracted the weapon.

"Ah, that's not going to work. It's hard to say about this black divine sword, but this magic sword might swallow Akatsuki the moment it touches...Hey, can you take your own weapon? ?”

"I had this plan in the first place."

"However, I don't know what expressions those subordinates will show if you hold you with a weapon... Hmm, it seems super interesting?"

"King! Let me help Jieshi, please hurry over there, after all, the awakening of the inner king may happen at any time."

"Hey, it's too foul for you to press me with such a thing?"

Originally thought it would be a verbal battle that Wang insisted on, but unexpectedly Wang just complained, handed Jieshi to Jing's shoulder, and walked out of the exit quickly alone.

"That woman, give up entanglement so easily?"

Although the ridiculous scene of being hugged by Wang continued to be avoided, Jie Shi was still a little surprised by Wang's reaction.

"Even if you are the benefactor who relieved the crisis of the third country, you still have to call her king and not 'that woman'!"

Jing Buyue took Jieshi's right hand and put it on her shoulder, and supported Jieshi by hooking his shoulders. With the other hand, holding the king's golden sword, he slowly moved to the exit that was faintly flickering with light blue light.

As for Jiexi's weapon, the scabbard had long since become tattered with his clothes, so Jiexi held it with his left hand to prevent the magic sword from accidentally touching the humans beside him.

The Devil Sword itself is a name for a disaster, and in fact it is indeed a disaster of "inevitability", because the heretical power that destroys the human spirit has never been manipulated by will, but swallowed instinctively.

All Jieshi can do is avoid letting the magic sword in his hand touch human beings. Of course, for Jieshi who has been with the magic sword for a long time, this refers to "human beings who are still useful to him." .

"Why is that woman in such a hurry to get out? What is she rushing to do?"

"Didn't I tell you not to call the king 'that woman'!"

"Answer."

Jie Shi's attitude made Jing's already displeased mood even more angry, but seeing the magic sword and Wang's action of protecting Jie Shi just now, Jing still swallowed her emotions back to her throat and let out a "tsk" secretly Then he said as calmly as possible.

"For sacrifice, the king came here because of sacrifice to all the people who lived here in the past."

"..."

Walking out of the hole in the tree trunk, what Jieshi saw was a vast light blue world with no end in sight.

The light blue crystals everywhere are like desert sand, covering the walking road one by one. The larger crystals are as tall and gorgeous as countless hills. Each crystal is crystal clear, and the transparent inner layer has The thin particles of blue light illuminated the dark underground.

It's just that Jieshi couldn't fully appreciate this scene that he might never have the chance to see in his life, and his eyes were focused on the countless stone monuments submerged in light blue crystals.

The number by visual inspection is definitely far more than thousands or tens of thousands. Some stone tablets have clear names on them, some are only half engraved, and some stone tablets are not engraved at all.

The only thing they have in common is that none of these steles are placed on the ground intact, and all of them are tilted to this side or even turned upside down and submerged in this crystal desert.

It looked like it had been through some kind of catastrophe.

"A long time ago, this was a small territory of the Ice Family of the Magic Kingdom. Its location coincides with the residence of a certain tribe in a third country. In addition, the specialty here is expensive sky blue crystals, so from time to time there will be ice attribute magicians coming here to communicate with them. This tribe communicates, trades, and this place has a beautiful and comfortable environment and good weather, and this tribe especially calls this place a paradise.”

Jing's eyes looked at Wang who was thirty meters away with mixed emotions.

Following this gaze, Jieshi found that Wang didn't have the joyful and excited smile just now, and he looked down at the crystal desert expressionlessly.

Before Jieshi could react, Jing continued.

"At that time, some magicians and the clansmen of the tribe reached a private interaction, so there was no problem between countries, but this kind of peace did not last long, and there were still a small number of ice attribute magicians in this tribe in this place However, he suddenly contracted an incurable terminal illness, and the death toll was at least a thousand. At that time, the investigation found that the molecules contained in the bodies of the members of this tribe had mutated due to long-term exposure to this environment and contact with ice-attribute magicians. It's not just the tribesmen, these tribesmen are only the source of the virus, and what's even more desperate is that these viruses will also affect other people, and there is no way to cure them. No, it should be said that before the antidote is found, this place hides The deadly virus is about to destroy everything here."

"..."

"At that time, Wang had no choice but to choose one path in order to prevent the virus from spreading to the entire third country."

"...Kill everyone here."

"You, how do you know?"

Ignoring Jing's exclamation, Jieshi continued to speak softly.

"That woman, as a king, chose to slaughter at least a million people here in order to prevent the virus from spreading from here to the outside."

Jing originally planned to suppress the anger, but when she heard Jieshi's words, she broke out immediately and couldn't hide it, and roared directly at Jieshi beside her.

"You, you bastard, what do you know, how painful the king's decision was at that time, the clansmen in this place are also the king's friends, if it wasn't for us, the king wouldn't need to kill the clansmen here at all! "

"But in reality, that woman slaughtered everyone here. The birth of that monster is the best proof. That monster still has hatred for that woman even though it doesn't have its own body."

"This is understandable. If the people here are allowed to go out, the casualties will definitely be more serious. If you want to reduce it to a minimum, the king can only do this!"

"It's not a disaster of will, but a disaster itself. Such an existence is indeed doomed to be killed."

Accompanied by these words, Jie Shi glanced at the magic sword in his hand.

"Do you understand what I said? This is not something that an outsider like you can explain clearly with a casual sentence!"

"Hey, Akira, it's really rare that you get angry, what a funny expression!"

"king."

At some point, Wang sneaked over and looked at Jing with a smile on his face.

"You can supervise these followers to sprinkle water on my behalf first, I will deal with this guy."

"But……"

"I can walk by myself."

Using the weight of the body and the sudden force of the center of gravity, she easily detached from Akira and stood in place.

"Okay, Akira, let's go, or do you actually want to chat with me?"

"...Subordinates to supervise immediately."

After glaring at Jie Shi viciously, Jing turned around and walked towards the group of attendants carrying water bottles.

Those people sprinkled the water in the jug on the crystal and stone tablet drop by drop, trying not to repeat the water in the same position and moving forward step by step.

"Sorry, that guy actually said you were an outsider, but in fact you are not an outsider, not even the listener who knows the whole thing is the victim's family."

"Is this an apology?"

"Hmph, just getting my apology, you should kneel down and cry!"

"...The water those people sprinkled is purified water, right?"

Purified water has no special meaning, it is purely clean and clear lake water, but these liquids will be sprinkled on the places where the dead souls have not yet rested, so that these dead souls can leave this world with peace of mind, and because of this, these ordinary people Water will have the title of purified water.

"Well, yes, this is a big project. This village is originally very big. It will take a lot of time to calm down these spirits."

"Do you think this can appease the anger of those dead? They will never rest in peace like this. I'm afraid that monsters like that will be born again sooner or later."

"Hehe, maybe it's like this, one of the souls that created that monster must have included Gen's father, right?"

"...Did you say that on purpose?"

"Hey, about the power of the magic sword, I got a lot of information from the adults inside. It's really amazing. Even those adults know the existence of the magic sword. It seems that the magic sword is really quite old. It has so many memories. It feels like you're about to split your mind, right?"

"..."

"You don't look like you're scared or surprised at all? It's not fun at all."

"I have no intention of hiding it. Now that I've finished speaking, let's quickly start discussing our compensation."

"I haven't even started the topic I want to talk about."

Wang's gaze was not on Jieshi at all, and he kept looking at the surrounding crystal desert.

"What else do you want to say?"

"I don't know the reason, but you accidentally absorbed Yuan's memory, Jasmine, right? Using your foul power—the reason why Yuan hates men."

I don't want to answer Wang's question, but Wang lacks the playfulness and joy in my impression, which instead creates inexplicable pressure on Jieshi.

"...Because Minamoto's father missed the appointment."

"That's right, because Yuan and Yuan's father had agreed to get along together in the future when they were outside, but when Yuan's father came here to do research, I tore them up like pieces of paper, so Yuan's father couldn't make it happen. A promise with my daughter."

"What exactly do you want to ask?"

"Hey, if it's Jieshi, if it's the magic sword, if you absorb everything from Minamoto, you should be able to answer my question? What kind of thoughts did Minamoto child hold until he died?"

Please, please tell me.

For some reason, Jieshi saw such a message from Wang's eyes.

"Because Minamoto knows that you are killing all the people here for the sake of everyone outside, so I can understand your decision."

"What I want to hear is not such a superficial answer."

"That's the only answer I have."

"why?"

"You don't need to know."

"Hehe, but I just want to know, don't you know my willfulness? Be careful that you will lose your reward if you refuse to answer? You should really want me to do something for you, right?"

"threaten?"

"Hey, what do you think?"

Seeing the useless smile on Wang's face, Jie Shi closed his eyes.

Start to spy on "all the memories of Congyuan's life" from the mind.

"... Minato, I hate you 24 hours a day."

"Ha, it's not surprising at all."

"You, Yuan's father, the third country, the patron saint, Yuan himself, these Yuan hate very much."

"What a distorted personality."

"But after meeting Empirika, she gradually changed her mind and thought that she could still live."

"This... is really an unexpected answer."

"But before she really changed, she was killed by that monster."

"Ha, it turned out that it was because of me again, that child even risked his own life."

It's not really indifferent laughter, it's more like a kind of bravado and camouflage.

At this moment, I can't see the evil smile that always carries "tricking people".

"Men, she hated you until she died."

"Well, thank you, such an answer is the best...the most truthful answer."

"..."

"But I want to say, even if I return to the situation at that time, I will still destroy this village, so it doesn't matter if you hate me as much as possible, I will ignore everything like a fart."

tread.

As he spoke, Wang suddenly walked to one of the crooked and broken stone tablets.

"Qi, you usually pretend to be dead for me when you encounter a mission, and I have to keep urging you to act. I guess it must be because of this lazy character that I will kill you right away? It doesn't matter, if you want If you hate me, you hate me, it doesn’t matter.”

tread, tread.

Wang walked to another stone tablet not far away, and pointed his chin at the stone tablet with contempt.

"Owl, you guys are also lazy, and you don't need to say that I already knew that you and those magicians are friends. It should be said that everyone knows that you didn't hide it at all! Idiot, ah Ah, I’d better say I’m sorry, the hand trembling didn’t cause you pain for a long time before you died, if you want to hate me, remember to use more force! Maybe I will accidentally discover your resentment.”

Step, step.

"Hey, Yu, you are the most diligent and active in solving any task, but you don't fight back at all in the face of my attack. What are you thinking? Are you so afraid because it's me? Ha! Then don't worry now because you are absolutely dead!"

Step, step, step.

"Xing, you are the smartest. You knew what I was going to do at that time. You kept begging me for mercy with a twisted and crying face. At that time, your snot was all over the hem of my clothes. You really deserve to die for that!"

thump.

Wang stomped hard on a crystal, and roared towards a large crystal desert.

"You all idiots have to hate me, or I won't notice at all, hahahahahahahaha!"

Under the hearty smile, no one responded, standing alone under the crystal desert and continuing to laugh.

The entourage, Jing, who was sprinkling water, deliberately lowered his head and continued to do the work at hand, not daring to raise his head to look at Wang, fearing that if he was not careful, his true feelings would appear on his face.

As early as the moment they entered, they were already psychologically prepared. As followers, they absolutely could not doubt the king's true mood.

"Hahahahahaha! A group of idiots, hate me if you are upset, get up and kill me, I will definitely wait for you in my seat, and then kill you again with one kick!"

Just like living in a person's self-world, Wang completely exposed his own arrogance and madness.

"Aha, it's really refreshing to come here especially to say these things."

Wang, who walked back to Jieshi gently, had a very happy and relaxed smile on his face, as if he had really vomited out all his displeasure and pressure all at once.

Or "put all the pain on yourself again."

"You, why are you torturing yourself like this?"

"Ah? Jieshi, did you say something?"

Bending down his small body, he looked at Jieshi from the side, with a genuinely puzzled expression on his face, which made Jieshi understand one thing.

Wang, she has made a decision long ago to turn herself into an absolute demon who is hated here.

"Have you finished what you wanted to say?"

"Well, not yet."

"..."

"Well, actually, I've always had this question, but I don't think anyone has ever been able to share the answer properly, but if it's you, maybe you can answer my question clearly."

"What do you want to ask?"

"Haha! You can just call me Wu. After all, you are not my subordinate. Of course, if you think I'm too annoying and a devil, then you don't need to call me by my name."

Hate it?

A sudden urge to laugh arose in Jieshi's heart, and he even had a faint sense of what question Wang wanted to ask.

Wang specially arrested a few entourages from the third country and came to the interior and finally arrived here. This last question may be related to these, and it should even be said that the next question may be the core—if both Wang and himself are confused If there exists, then the problem must be "that".

"Sacrifice a few relatives to save the majority of strangers, or choose to fight against the whole world for these relatives? Among these two choices, which would you choose?"

"really."

"what?"

"The power of the magic sword and the power of Sitno Jieshi are separate but the same. The common point is that they have the same ability, and the difference is that there is a difference in lifespan."

"Sitno Jieshi... so it's not just a sacrifice, is it? The difference in lifespan is natural, right? Jieshi is just a human being, but the magic sword will never die."

"Applying the conclusion of the magic sword, your question should not be a multiple-choice question with only wrong and right."

"what?"

"The goal of those mercenaries in the film group is world peace. This is my answer."

"That ridiculous illusory thing is my answer?"

"Sacrifice creates results... But what is the wish of the victim, what is the best result, such a question... Demon Sword has thought about it millions of times."

"Huh, millions of times? This kind of exaggerated description has appeared. You are not a great man in the world, are you? Ha! The devil king of the world is more suitable for you? Unfortunately, I can't understand what your answer means. What are you looking for, but I’m not disappointed at all? On the contrary, I seem to smell something interesting, haha, it really makes me look forward to it!”

"That's right... I've thought about it millions of times... This is what I said deliberately to remind myself."

Jiexi quietly looked at the magic sword in his hand, and "a large number of promises that cannot be counted" emerged in his mind.

"Okay, anyway, these people still work very long hours, why don't you tell me quickly, what kind of reward do you want to get from me, the devil king who intends to destroy the world?"

The once confused, Jieshi has been eliminated, no, it should be said "I don't want to think about it anymore".

Even if I continue to think about it, it is impossible to find a full answer, because "the magic sword in my hand has already painfully thought about the same question millions of times."

The same is true of the Wang in front of her, caught in the multiple-choice question with two answers, and in the end she did make a choice, a painful choice.

But could another choice be the choice of happiness?

Just think a little and you'll know the answer.

In this case, it is better not to think about the two options.

The answer to world peace is exactly the "twisted out" answer.

But for such an answer, Jieshi did not intend to take the path that Demon Sword gave up his emotions and everything to achieve, but walked on his own thorny road.

On this road of no turning back and a fixed result, Jieshi at least hopes that he can control the process inside.

Looking at Wu beside him, Jiexie quietly expressed his request.
