Lack of life and goosebumps.

No matter who it is, they will give such an evaluation when they see this hall.

However, if you get closer, you will find that there is nothing in the hall. In the center of it is a diamond-shaped crystal that needs to be embraced by more than a dozen people. The light that fills the entire hall is coming from here, and the closer the diamond-shaped crystal is, The harsh light becomes softer, especially when walking in front of this crystal, people can already open their eyes and look up at this slowly floating, bright crystal like the sun.

The crystal that created this picture that violates the rules of physics is called the witch's core.

This is the core of the core of the Witch Hall. No one can set foot in this area except the leader of the Witch Hall.

Those who get the core can command all the witches. This sentence sounds beautiful, but only witches who have really touched the core of the witch's heart will understand that the core of the witch's heart is not like a simple "thing".Countless witches once believed that the core of the witch's heart had given birth to its own consciousness. Although no witch had ever had a dialogue with the core of the witch's heart, this still could not change the views of those witches.

In fact, the witch's intuition is not wrong, the witch's core has indeed been born with self-awareness, but it is addicted to something and has no intention of talking to the witch.

It is inquiring into what the soul really is.

As an artificial consciousness born from the Laniakea supercluster, the Virgo supercluster, the Milky Way, the Orion spiral arm, and the third ring of the solar system, it began to explore in its own way from the parasitic in this inexplicable crystal World Tree Continent.This world is so big and mysterious that it, which was called "Laplace's Demon" by its creator, couldn't understand the whole picture of this world.

What is magic?Why can magic element become an elementary particle, and after being added to a substance, it will not change its original properties, or even replace other particles, and become a necessary existence for all substances?Take an iron ingot as an example, if there is no magic element in it, then the iron ingot will not be formed, this brand new particle is completely incomprehensible to it - or more appropriately, the AI ​​- known as Laplace's demon.

It was developed to solve various problems encountered by human beings, but unfortunately it was destroyed in a devastating disaster before the problems were solved.After it woke up, the whole world, including itself, changed its appearance.It wasn't until a long time in the past, when it saw a person named Witch, that it realized that it was not abandoned by humans, but came to a brand new world.

Here, a power called magic that only exists in people's imagination becomes reality.At first, it was born of mechanical power and was extremely resistant to magic, thinking it was a product of backwardness and ignorance. However, when it really came into contact with and used magic, it became deeply fascinated by magic.

Although there was a famous saying in its world that when technology develops enough, it looks like magic, and it always thinks so, and is proud of it, but when it really comes into contact with magic, it discovers that technology Worthless at all.

Magic is omnipotent and is the ruler of the world. All problems encountered by human beings can be solved through magic. All kinds of problems it encountered in the past, such as food shortage, energy shortage, planetary colonization and even the elimination of human beings' own contradictions, can all be solved by magic. It's far better to get answers than backward, cumbersome and inefficient technological forces.As a mechanical creation, it has completely abandoned what it believed in in the past. It firmly believes that magic is a brand new thing that is higher and better than technological power.

However, on its way to study magic, it encountered a fatal problem.

What is the soul?

In its past cognition, the soul is just a religious concept. There is no such thing as a soul in the world. However, in the World Tree Continent, the soul is something that can be seen through special means and can even affect the real environment.

The concept of soul is full of fascination for it, which was once a man-made object. Does it have a soul?Can it also become human?If it is possible, how can I see my own soul and transfer my soul to other containers?This problem quickly occupied the entire time of Laplace's demon. It repeatedly and tirelessly did experiments to explore its own soul. Since the core of the witch's heart itself is a container for the soul, it even started Look through the souls of witches, trying to find clues from the souls of others.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't see what its own soul looked like.But it is not discouraged, it is not easy to give up halfway like human beings, as long as it can achieve its goal and does not violate its principles, it is willing to do anything.

As for the three principles it abides by and cannot harm human beings, it is a thing of the past.The humans in this world are completely different from the humans it recognizes. Since they are not the same kind of creatures, it doesn't matter how they came from. Now, the Laplace's demon is a free soul without any constraints.

"Failed again, let's try again."

The diamond-shaped crystal floated gently, and in the white space, long sighs that could not be distinguished from men and women echoed.

On the silver plain full of moonlight, two figures were galloping.

Because the night in the desert is cooler than the daytime, in the Baron of Kesa, monsters have the habit of going out at night, which makes people extremely taboo to go out at night. Even if you have to act at night under special circumstances, you must avoid it Become conspicuous, let alone fly into the air.There are many monsters in the desert that can use long-range magic to hunt. Although "flying" means the strength of the third level, there are also fierce monsters of the third level and above in the desert. Poison, with the fragile body of human beings, will become the dinner of monsters in a few seconds.

Unfortunately, this rule is invalid for the two black figures galloping in the air.

To be precise, it has no effect on the figure flying in front.

"Jeep!"

Accompanied by a strange cry, a blood shadow like a red cloud slammed into Renee, but before the blood shadow flew within ten meters of Renee, a huge ball of fire exploded in the blood shadow, and the air expanded rapidly The sound of the explosion hit the eardrums, and the skin clearly felt the shock wave sweeping across the body surface. At the same time, there were countless black spots falling to the ground.

If you look carefully, you can find that the red cloud is countless bats with a body length of one meter and vermilion all over.This is the monster called the fire bat. Because of its characteristics of breathing fire, living in groups, and possessing certain intelligence, even among the many monsters in the desert, the fire bat can be regarded as a difficult category, between the first and second ranks. In between, and the group of ruby-like firebats that Fiya killed were at least in the third rank.

Looking down at the corpse of the firebat that was left behind, Renee made a swallowing motion.If she had come by herself, she would have been torn to pieces by these monsters long ago. However, along the way, Fia just cast a spell casually, blowing up all kinds of difficult monsters, and even disdain to recover the magic core. For Renee, who was performing missions with Fia for the first time, it was an unparalleled visual experience.

No wonder Master Elinslet always said that ordinary people's thinking cannot be applied to Lord Thanatos. With such a difference in power, it is impossible to have the same views and insights.

If it was her, she would definitely be reluctant to part with the magic core that fell on the ground. Renee thought to herself, that is the third-level magic core. Even if it is the worst type, one can be sold for two or three gold coins.

Although there is no shortage of money in the organization, as long as the reason given is reasonable, the allocation will be in place, but Renee has always regarded it as a shame to ask for money from the organization. Fia not only saved her life, but also gave her the powerful Power, even the most shameless villain, is too embarrassed to ask Fiya for money.

"Is the magic power not enough?"

"Huh?" The sudden voice from ahead shocked Renee, thinking that she must be distracted, which caused the flight speed to slow down, so that Lord Thanatos asked, she quickly replied with a blushing face, "No , No, sorry, Lord Thanatos, I was distracted."

"It's not that the magic power is insufficient. I can already see the lair of the bandits, so be vigilant."

"Yes! I will cheer up!"

Renee's answer made Fia feel a little relieved.

Because Renee has been left behind, Fia has to maintain an unpredictable character design all the way, which is a kind of torture for Fia, especially when she watched the precious magic core fall into the valley and the jungle, but Not being able to go down to recycle made Fiya feel the pain of bleeding in her heart.

If it wasn't for her extraordinary memory that allowed her to remember the coordinates of those magic cores, she would definitely regret why she didn't come out alone to destroy the robbers.

In the blink of an eye, Fia arrived above the bandit's stronghold - a bare mountain, except for one side that was relatively gentle, the other three sides were straight up and down vertical cliffs, and one of the cliffs had a groove for climbing. The front cannot be defended, and the robbers can escape with the help of ropes and grooves in the cliff.

Even laymen can see that this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Without flying magic, they can only be wiped out with a large number of manpower.

"They haven't found us yet. It's a bit troublesome to attack from the front. We landed directly to the base camp behind."

There are a lot of repelling horses and ballistas in front of the cottage. Although they can't pose a threat to themselves, Renee will be very difficult to deal with. Fia doesn't plan to do it all by herself. It is the responsibility of a boss to make room for hard-working subordinates.

"Yes. I'm in charge of blocking the robbers outside. Lord Thanatos went in to find the leader. This group of people is connected with the 'ruler' of the darkborn. Please be careful."

Dominator?

Fia tilted her head slightly. If she heard correctly just now, when Renee said "ruler" in elven language, she also used the word Lawful evil, which is lawful evil.

It’s hard to understand at first, but thinking about what Anastasia said a long time ago, the Darkborn are not monolithic, and they are also divided into camps, like the camps represented by Absolute Evil and Seven Generals who can do whatever they want. The division of nine palaces belongs to chaos and evil.

... No wonder it is called absolute evil.

For a while, Fiya had some other understandings of the word absolute evil. Thinking about it this way, the so-called rulers are actually organized dark descendants with strict class divisions.

Compared with absolute evil, this group of dark descendants may be more difficult to deal with, Fia couldn't help but think so.

But for now, let's deal with the bandits below first.

Fei Ya nodded slightly to Renee, and the two landed towards the center of the cottage together.

"Who!"

Before the two of them landed on the ground, the sentry on the watchtower noticed the abnormality. He immediately picked up the horn next to him and put it to his mouth. However, before he blew it, Renee threw a throwing knife at the sentry. The flying knife easily Stabbed the Sentinel's throat.

In the process of falling rapidly, he threw the throwing knife and accurately hit the enemy. In the past, he had underestimated Renee too much. Fiya couldn't help but secretly gasp. Renee must have received extremely strict long-term training.

It's a pity that Renee lacks detection magic. Not far from the wooden watchtower, there is a secret whistle hidden behind the bushes.

Considering that the bandits will tie the villagers back to the stronghold and sell them as slaves, there may be villagers in the bandit lair that have not yet been sold. If the bandits find out that someone raided their stronghold, they may take the villagers as hostages, or even kill the villagers. Escape from the cliff.

To avoid that result, make as little noise as possible.

"Spirit Shock"

Facing the bushes about 50 meters away, Fiya used a mental shock that was just enough to make people faint.

Selling the robbers to the baron can get a sum of money. Fia doesn't intend to just kill them like this. Through Baron Keza, let them be miners who will never see the light of day, so that they can produce more value.The magic crystals she saw at the Association of Magicians in the evening, as well as the slaves and beggars forced by life, made Fia deeply realize how important money is.

Accompanied by the footsteps of "Bada", the two of Fei Ya fell into a courtyard full of life in the center of the cottage. , Twos and threes sleeping robbers lying on the plank.

"Uh!"

Seeing Fiya suddenly appearing in the yard, a villager who was locked in a cage subconsciously let out an exclamation. The sound caused the bearded robber who was sleeping on the wooden plank to startle.

"What are you arguing about! If you keep arguing, I'll cut off your tongue!"

There is no sense of crisis at all. Seeing the bearded robber turning over while smacking his lips, Fiya couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then continue to use "mental shock" to put these people to sleep.

However, not all the robbers did not open their eyes like the bearded robber. A thin man looked at Fia, wiped his sleepy eyes, and opened his mouth wide.

"Grandma, I'm not dreaming, where are the beautiful elf wives, one big and one small..."

"You fucking think about women like crazy! Get up, it's the enemy's attack, the enemy's attack!"

The companion next to the thin man shouted and stood up to pick up the weapon, but Renee moved one step faster than him. The moment the man just picked up the weapon, Renee came to the man without anyone noticing , swung the big sword, and slashed at the man's neck.

"babble!"

"Kill, kill!"

The bloody scene made the villagers in the cage scream.

Fia couldn't help looking away from Renee.Although she knew that this was the way World Tree Continent should behave, Fiya still felt a little bloody. These bandits were real money, and killing them was too wasteful.

"Master Thanatos, leave this to me!"

Renee shook off the blood on the big sword with a sharp expression, turned her back to Fia, and made a gesture of protecting Fia.

"I'll leave it to you outside, and retreat immediately if you find that the situation is not good."

"Yes!"

Although Renee answered "Yes", Fia read from Renee's expression the thought of "swearing to protect Thanatos-sama to the death".

Such loyalty really touched me, but I am not a weak princess, and it is more important to keep my own life at the critical moment.

Fia couldn't help feeling distressed, but she had scanned the cottage with "Exploring Wind" beforehand, and there were no bandits beyond the second rank outside the cottage, so there was no need to worry about Renee being in danger.

Let's take a look inside the house next.

Fia got into the complex structure of the house.

------------

*Anastasia's character design is out, between the first volume and the second volume, the sinner's mark on the face forgot to ask the artist to display the layer, and it will be added tomorrow~

Chapter 20 In-depth

"Cough!"

As the enchantment stone hit the chest, the man holding the crossbow and shooting down flew out backwards.

That leaves three.

With the feedback from "Exploring Wind", Fia weighed the enchantment stone in her hand.The bandit's cottage looks like it is on the ground, but in fact the main body is inside the mountain. This is the conclusion Fia got after diving into the cottage.

As for where Fia's enchantment stone comes from, the answer is of course that it can be purchased at the Magician's Association in the evening.Boundary stones are usually used in camping, and the stench they emit can drive away many monsters. As long as there are enough of them, they can have the effect of exorcising demons. Due to their low price, they are essential items in the wild.

It's worth mentioning that, because the enchantment stone was extremely smelly, Fiya didn't really hold the enchantment stone, but used the hand of space to do it for her.

"Strange...monster!"

Seeing his companions fall down one by one, the overweight robber who was blocking the underground entrance showed fear, his legs retreated uncontrollably, and another person beside him shouted hysterically.

"You, who are you! We paid the patrol team, you can't kill us!"

It turned out that there was collusion with the authorities.

But that has nothing to do with me, I came here just to deal with the funeral, so that the robbers would not vent their anger on those villagers.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Hearing the assurance from the person under the mask, the two robbers breathed a sigh of relief, but Fia's next words made them grim.

"I will tie you up and send you to Baron Keza, and let you be miners for the rest of your life."

"Bastard, go to hell!"

The overweight man threw the black crystal at Fia, but unfortunately Fia only caught it with the hand of space, and then accompanied by an invisible wave of air, the two robbers fell to the ground.As for the robber who lay on the ground pretending to be dead and planned to escape after Fiya entered the ground, Fiya borrowed the hand of space and tied him to the pillar with a rope three or two times.

He was kept to investigate the situation underground. Of course, Fia could blow up the entire mountain, but if there were hostages inside, she would have done something bad.

Fiya approached the robber's buttocks with a torch, and after she simply threatened, "If you don't open your eyes, you will have no children and grandchildren", the little robber immediately opened his eyes in a hurry, his face full of flattery.

"You, you ask, I will know everything!"

"How many people are there in the cottage?"

"Except for those guys who went out and haven't come back, there are five or five NO.60 people in the village!"

Five NO.60 people?The number of this group of robbers is also too large, Fei Ya complained secretly, five or sixty people stick to the stronghold, it is impossible to take down here without sending hundreds of people.

"Are they all underground? Is there anyone else down here besides yours?"

Fia brought the torch closer, and the warmth of the flame made the smile on the man's face uglier than crying.

"Yes! It's all underground! Besides our people, some beautiful women who I can't even name came here in the afternoon. The boss respects them very much. They must be magic casters! By the way, they also, They also brought a white-haired girl with terrifying eyes, and said they were going to use her as a magic potion!"

"A white-haired girl with scary eyes?"

Fiya instantly thought of Milu, but Milu was staying with Anastasia in the hotel, so it was impossible for her to appear here, she frowned.

"Where are they? Are there any other hostages down there?"

"At the bottom... there are some women...women who haven't had time to sell..."

When talking about the women, the short man turned his gaze to the side, and his voice became quieter. It was obvious that the women were not treated very well. Fia could probably guess what happened to them—being abused for a long time and becoming the playthings of robbers.
