The daily life of non-human beings traveling through time and space

The four city lords of the main city disappeared in a blink of an eye.

You know, in this world that has been invaded by monsters, the status of the lord of the main city is almost similar to that of the monarch of a big country.Although they do not have as much authority as a real monarch, but with their personal power, after so many years, they have become a certain symbol and belief in the hearts of other people.

And there are currently only four such city lords in this world—although in the final analysis, the power they possess is actually only because the monsters they summon are powerful enough.

Whether it is the monster-faced spider Ryohime summoned by the city lord of Fengcheng, or the demon thousand-eyed butterfly summoned by the city lord of Huacheng, it can be said that they have almost never met an opponent in decades...

But even these two city lords couldn't walk back and forth a few times in the hands of this silver-haired demon who turned out to be out of the sky, and they were executed so easily.

The few Fengwei who were still alive were silent, their disbelieving gazes swept across Xiu Mi, and finally stopped tremblingly at the hem of the silver-haired monster's spotless snow-white clothes.

Shi Yue withdrew his gaze from the flying black bird, nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at the wind guards: "You can leave now, and tell the others by the way, it's up to you whether you choose to stay or leave. up to them."

The few Fengwei were stunned, hurriedly bowed to Shiyue tremblingly, and quickly turned and left the courtyard.

After the summoner, the Lord of Fengcheng, died, the demon Ryohime was automatically sent back to its original place.Unless it is successfully summoned by someone in the future, it may come to this world again.

Shi Yue listened carefully to the movement around him, and then he looked at Xiu Mi: "It's time for us to leave too."

The young man's eyes were still on the dead City Lord of Fengcheng, killing an evil City Lord who was absorbing the life of all Fengwei to satisfy his selfish desires was completely just in his opinion.

"Leave?" He was a little confused: "Shouldn't we tell others what happened? Those wind guards, let them know what the city lord has done..."

"And then?" Shi Yue answered with interest: "Xiu Mi, do you think we will be thanked by everyone?"

The young man nodded subconsciously, and he said cautiously: "...they are saved, aren't they?"

"No." Shi Yue raised the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes. As he walked out, he motioned for Xiu Mi to follow: "Even if you tell them that killing the city lord is helping them, I'm afraid we Still not being thanked, and even being hostile. Why, do you find it incredible?"

"Oh, by the way, maybe there are people who are united and hiding nearby, ready to attack us... Well, if you are smarter, the main purpose should be to kill you. In this case, you, the summoner, will die. I, the monster, will no longer exist."

Shiyue's voice is very nice, and he speaks in a slow and unhurried manner, which can make the listener deeply pleasing and even enjoyable, but the content is not so pleasant.

Xiu Mi was speechless, he didn't quite understand Shi Yue's meaning, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but look around subconsciously.

The mansion was already in chaos, and the news of the death of the city lord quickly spread throughout the city lord's mansion, and then quickly spread to all directions.

The Captain of the Wind Guard could no longer control the team under him. Everyone had their own plans. Some left Wind City directly, some went to check on the body of the city lord, and some tried to take the opportunity to establish a new order in this chaotic moment... Besides, There were even more people clamoring to catch the murderer who killed the castellan.

In this chaos, Shi Yue and Xiu Mi are like two transparent people, invisible ghosts, walking out of the city lord's mansion calmly and smoothly.

"...they just don't know the truth."

Xiu Mi insisted on his own thoughts: "The body of the city lord is a proof. After he couldn't continue to plunder the vitality of Feng Wei, he instantly aged many years. And there is also what happened on the battlefield last year. It must have happened more than once before... He killed many wind guards just to heal his wounds."

"I think that anyone who knows the truth will execute him without hesitation, because every minute and every second of his life, he is hurting other people... The most important thing is that he is also a shameful betrayer. He betrayed He killed everyone in this land, surrendered to the enemy, he stood on the side of those monsters, he is not worthy of living, he is not worthy of the trust of others, and he is not worthy of being a city lord."

When Shi Yue saw that he was filled with righteous indignation, his heart moved, and he wanted to test him, so he said solemnly: "Wind City has existed until now, how many years has it been?"

Xiu Mi didn't know why the topic changed here, he recalled it for a while, and said with uncertainty: "My adoptive father told me... when he was still young, Fengcheng was there, and after he became a windguard, he went to it many times. On the battlefield, my parents also became wind guards when they were young... Calculated in this way, it has been at least 40 years, or more..."

"It's been more than 40 years." Shi Yue said softly, "So, Xiu Mi, do you think we will be the only ones who know the truth?"

"...No." The young man said: "After so many years, someone will find out sooner or later, because the city owner is obviously over 60 years old, but he still looks very young..."

Shi Yue nodded: "It's not just the appearance. Of course, the city lord has been on the battlefield many times, and after so many times, he must have encountered more than one serious injury or even a near-death moment. At this time, a large number of wind guards are needed. He died to save his own life... and those wind guards who have been following him, naturally some of them will find problems and have doubts."

The young man thought hard: "Every Fengwei has its own monster, maybe there is someone who has a special ability and can discover the truth!"

"But before that, the city lord is still alive and well...at least before we come to Windy City." Shi Yue said.

"Maybe it's because..." The young man frowned, and he murmured: "Because those who discover the truth, their strength cannot deal with the city lord...and if they tell the truth, they will be killed, just like the city lord because I summoned Tokoshi you, so you want to kill me..."

"Everything is not black and white, just like people cannot be described and divided simply by good or bad."

Shi Yue said indifferently: "After discovering the truth, some people will choose to resist, some people will choose to accept, and some people will be like weeds on the wall. They will fall to whichever side has the upper hand. And in the long time, if The resistance will never be successful, and more people will choose to accept, endure, and not fight. It is not their fault that they do not resist when the situation is stronger than others, and life and death are firmly in the hands of the city lord .”

Xiumi seems to understand but not understand.

"Except for this very small group of people, in the eyes of most other people, the city master is what they want." Shi Yue glanced at Xiu Mi: "Do you remember? When you were still in the village, I heard that When the Lord City Lord of Fengcheng wanted to see you, he was so excited."

After a brief moment of embarrassment, Xiu Mi's face gradually turned pale, and he seemed to understand something: "Everyone, everyone is very envious of me being able to come to Fengcheng... Everyone worships and trusts the City Lord...They don't know the truth ..."

"And the city lord is dead now." Shi Yue said: "The dead will not speak again."

"For a long time, people will not know the truth. When they know that the city lord is dead, they will be at a loss, feel pain, and will doubt you, hate you, and even hate you. Even if they know the truth, they will not completely Because there is not enough evidence to prove that the city lord should be executed. In their view, they only know that the city lord was killed, and the person who killed the city lord was a monster, and it is well known that when a monster does something, it is often It is an order from the summoner."

Xiu Ya was stunned.

"They yearn for the Windy City, they respect the city lord, and they trust those wind guards who sacrificed their lives to defend the village and their homeland. This has been the case for decades. And they don't know you, and they don't trust you, so in the days to come, You need to live in hiding, have no friends, and always have to be on guard against other people's pursuit."

"Of course the city lord deserves to die, but people who don't know the truth will only hate you and curse you. Maybe for a year or a few years, they will never be grateful to you."

"And can you bear these misunderstandings and resentments, keep going, go to the battlefield, and kill monsters?"

Xiu Mi started to panic, no matter how mature his mind is and no matter how determined his will is, he is still a 14-year-old boy after all.

He forced himself to calm down: "...but there are still those wind guards, after so many years, some wind guards know the truth, they will believe me, the city lord is dead, they will understand that this is right..."

"Speaking of Fengwei." Shi Yue changed his words, "Xiu Mi, do you know what those Fengwei were doing before the death of the city lord?"

"There are many warriors among them stationed on the battlefield. Perhaps at this moment, they are fighting monsters, using the power lent to them by the monsters they summoned... and also using them to become wind guards and sign a contract with the monsters of the city lord. The flying ability acquired by the secret contract, the power to control the wind."

"Although at the moment when the lifeline is released, their lives are completely in their own hands from now on, and their vitality will not be absorbed all the time. But at the same time, they also lost the ability to fly, and they can no longer control the wind... And in the On the battlefield, even a little bit of negligence, a little bit of failure to follow through, is likely to lead to cruel consequences...even death."

Xiu Mi's face was as pale as a dead man, he uncontrollably began to imagine——

When a wind guard was riding the wind to fly up and attack a certain monster, he suddenly lost his power, fell to the ground in a daze, and was brutally killed by the monster who seized the opportunity.

And such a scene, maybe, no, maybe it has appeared on a large scale, without warning, on the cruel battlefield.

He couldn't help but recall how many times he wanted to rush directly to kill the city lord after he knew the truth in the city lord's mansion.

He also thought of how many wind guards lost their ability to control the wind suddenly and unpreparedly at the moment when the lifeline was released... and lost their lives in vain.

Xiu Mi is not someone who runs away when things happen, or rather, he prefers to take care of everything.

Another person might convince himself that he was not the one who killed the city lord with his own hands, but a monster. Although the monster was summoned by himself, he could shirk all responsibility with peace of mind, and then believe that he was not wrong... maybe In turn, hate demons.

But for Xiu Mi, he knew the truth and decided that the city lord deserved to die. This was his choice, so he didn't regret it.

As for what happened after the death of the city lord, even though he felt sad, fearful, painful, and uneasy, he thought that he was also responsible for these consequences, and he should have endured them instead of escaping from them...

The young man clenched his teeth, his body trembling uncontrollably, his parents and adoptive father's smiling faces flashed in his mind, the villagers in the deserted village, the figures of those he knew, and finally the city lord...

He looked at the silver-haired demon: "Could it be...is it wrong to kill the city lord..."

Time to raise eyebrows.

But the young man has completely calmed down. At this moment, he is more like asking himself: "No, he deserves to die. Not only him, but also that Hyman, and those monsters... They all deserve to die, maybe there are many of them. Wrong, but killing them is not wrong in itself."
