"Gorgon, is it so difficult to just want to change the trajectory of life a little bit?"

The quiet mountain hut was originally a place for hunters to supply and rest before entering the mountain, or the last resting place for adventurers who go to the mountain to collect medicine and hunt for beasts in winter.

However, because of the Dragon Ball War, almost all ordinary people have moved to more southern cities and regions. There may be many people in Maia City, but the mountain villages in the north have already fled, so these villages and buildings are no longer there. , It becomes a good hidden place.

At this time, the wandering mage Evelyn was sitting by the fire in the center of the hut.

The lady who originally wore thick lenses, took off the spectacles that were only used for disguise. She squinted the light purple snake eyes and watched the fire beating blankly, and couldn't help muttering to herself.

"Dragon Ball War, it is such a terrible thing... the real battle is so difficult..."

Although the side facing the fire was warm and comfortable, the female mage’s back was only a bit icy. She stretched out her hand and adjusted the position of the firewood. Her tone was full of fear and helplessness: "It seems that as long as you get close, you will be killed. The feeling of death... really scary..."

At this moment, she couldn't help but recall that she was almost shot directly by a flying arrow from outside the sky just to investigate the situation.

Although I was prepared for a long time, I used the ice crystal substitute to change my position and was not hit directly, but the subsequent battle between Zhuzhou and Yemengard made Evelyn, who had a little confidence, suddenly doubted. Possibility of winning by yourself.

Self and Gorgon... it seems that no one can beat it, right?

No, no, it's not just that no one can beat it-the opponent seems to be able to single out his group by relying on the summoner alone!

She knew Mikhail, the strongest bounty hunter in the empire. The other party's record included but not limited to one person destroying 27 rebellious cottages in the western mountains, and beheading the eleventh on the eastern coast alone. A giant sea snake-he even took the order of assassinating Cona Simir, the minister of military and political affairs, and scared the big man at the top of the empire into the palace of the imperial capital, until now he did not dare to leave the imperial capital.

Can you really live two days against such a character?

This kind of suspicion was only looming at first, but when all the Dragon Ball holders gathered on the shore of the ice-free lake, Evelyn, who had also wanted to show up, suddenly retreated in fear and did not dare to step forward.

Others are the world-destroying dragon Yemengade, the god-killing dragon candlelight, Yinglong who also defeated the warlord, and various other well-known dragons and snakes in myths and legends, including a main god-level feather snake. God.

But she is talking about the Gorgon, who is weak but not strong, but is definitely not strong. Even if it is counted in various epic legends, the origin of Gorgon is nothing more than one of the giant spirits born by the earth mother Gaia. Killed by the goddess of war Athena, she became the shield and armor of the opponent.

In the face of those who kill the gods and destroy the world at every turn, even being the source of all things, a series of gods and dragons...

How to say?It's a bit like a super power battle. The enemies are time stop, time reverse, time delete, but one's own ability is to control stairs.

No matter how you think about it, it’s too exaggerated...but what’s even more exaggerated is that the feathered snake god was killed and exited in the first few seconds of the battle, and then the other three dragons and snakes battled the entire battle. The ice-free lakes collapsed, and magma was even spilled to areas more than ten kilometers away.

If it weren't for Gorgon's reminder that she could find an opportunity to sneak attack on those dragon ball holders who had ended the battle, Evelyn would want to throw the dragon ball away on the spot, go back to her hometown, and become an ineffective scholar.

But even so, the sneak attack was unsuccessful, and the subsequent war between Zhu Zhou and Ying Long did not even have the chance for the Oriole to be behind.

And the scene of two dragons fighting each other makes Evelyn’s legs soft... those fierce movements of tearing apart the flesh and blood, stab each other with bones, tearing the dragon’s horns alive, and crushing the ribs, extremely hideous faces and every move. , All really made Evelyn feel terrified.

Until Zhuzhou broke and escaped, and Yinglong was also injured by Zhuzhou's self-explosion, Evelyn didn't have the courage to go and pick up the leak.

She felt that even if it was Ying Long who was so badly injured that only a single breath was left, it was enough to easily kill her weak self.

It is precisely because of this that Evelyn finally understood why her teacher would say that she was not suitable for being a mage.

The female mage couldn't help but bit her lower lip tightly, recalling the past.

"——Mage is not a profession sitting in the back. You have to learn to judge the situation calmly, conceive the most efficient plan in the shortest time, and then implement it with absolutely no mistakes!"

In the solemn university hall, the one-eyed teacher who survived the Southern Elf War more than ten years ago affirmed the basic qualities of the profession as a mage in a cold tone.

And when he walked to a nervous female student who was slightly trembling, his eyes suddenly became hateful, and his tone turned into fierce anger.

"Evelyn! It's you. You still look good in the exams. When you get to the actual combat class, you will lose the chain-Ice Crystal Phantom. It takes you five seconds to finish the spell for such a simple life-saving spell? So long, Enough for those pointed ears to rush over and chop you into a dozen pieces of meat!"

"Yes, but..."

At that time, the female mage grabbed the notes in her hands. She wanted to refute. For example, the monsters in actual combat were too scary. You must know that the creatures she has seen since childhood, other than humans, are the largest Only a black-back dog raised by a neighbor, it’s normal to be scared when I see such a terrifying creature for the first time?

Another example is that the sun on the day of the actual combat class is too big, her eyes are dazzled, and her magical power transfer has changed several times, otherwise she will be the slowest and slowest, and she can complete the spell in one second...

However, these reasons, even she herself couldn't speak out-what is the difference between these words and the turf is too hard or the turf is too soft?Whether it's the hideous face or the environment, these are all part of the actual combat.

But even so, the female mage is still a bit wronged...The Elf War has been over for more than ten or two decades, why do we have to use the wartime requirements to demand them?Isn't the mage a profession to study magic, especially since the industrialization of magic power is so prosperous recently, she can become a magic engineer instead of being a military tactic.

With such unwillingness, after the course, the female mage was brought into the office by the silent teacher.

She originally thought she would be reprimanded, but the serious and cold one-eyed man in the class made her sit down and served a cup of hot milk.

"Evelyn...your grades are indeed good."

Sitting opposite Evelyn, the man raised his head and looked at the bewildered female mage. He drank a sip of tea and said tiredly, "But you are really not suitable for this profession."

"I can see that you are resistant to the actual combat class... Do you think the war has nothing to do with you? No, boy, if the war comes, it will be related to all of us. Everyone in this school will be forced to call up and send Go to the front line-at that time, only one person will be left dead in a school, that is not a strange thing."

This teacher, who was also a student, said to Evelyn with thought-provoking and bitter tone: "You really think that this kind of mage school for the common people is to educate the kind Is it a'strategic magic engineer' who builds an industrial production line? Those are all aristocrats and wealthy talents who are qualified to learn. Our kind of school trains'spellcasters' with the function of combat magic—of course, it will also train Some knowledge of magic engineering, but that is also because there are also various alchemy equipment in the battlefield."

"After all, we are all going to the front line. Now that there are no elves, there will be dwarves in a few years. Without the dwarves, we will go to fight the murlocs. As long as the population of the empire cannot be reduced, the war will not stop for a moment. The system of this world has not been reformed, and wars will never change..."

"Oh, what am I telling you for? You have never experienced war, how can you understand... But Evelyn, I can see that you have the gift of learning magic, but you were born in the wrong era. A world full of wars and chaos...you can't survive."

With that said, the one-eyed man closed his eyes, took a breath, and said solemnly: "Give up this profession."

"Quit school."

In the eyes of Evelyn at a loss and subconsciously squeezing the corners of his skirt, he turned his head and stopped looking at his female student, and then indifferently continued: "I have already applied for the procedure for you, and I am going to drop out. The school will refund the tuition, and also withdraw your apprentice mage qualification certificate...Go home and be an ordinary person with peace of mind."

——At least this way, as an ordinary person, you can survive.

"As long as I give up Dragon Ball and don't continue, then I can go back and be an ordinary person."

Memories and reality are intertwined, and the old teacher's voice does not know whether it is cold or gentle, but eventually overlaps with Evelyn's own voice.

In the mountain hut in the Northland, the wandering mage muttered to herself like this, her tone was full of loss: "In the end, the teacher did not make a mistake... I used to think that the teacher was disappointed with me, but now it seems... …He is really good for me."

Because of the war, the war never ended.

At this time, Evelyn was really thinking about how to retreat, give up Dragon Ball, give up the opportunity to change her own destiny, give up everything that Dragon Ball gave, turn her head and become an ordinary person.

However, there was still a trace of unwillingness in her heart.

——Acknowledge your mediocrity, admit your incompetence, admit that you are wrong, and that the path you want to take is unworkable.

Admit it all...how can you feel reconciled?!

And just as this unwillingness echoed in the soul, a hoarse female voice sounded from behind the female mage.

"My caller."

The phantom of snake hair appeared behind Evelyn, and the giant spirit's words of contempt and contempt also followed.

"With your qualities, it is absolutely impossible to become a hero."

"The hard power is not enough, you can sneak attacks, and the combat skills are not proficient. Then go for tricks, but you can poison, you can pretend to be an alliance, and then backstab... Heroes are not perfect synonyms, and not all heroes are. Powerful, in the face of difficulties and powerful enemies, they will use small means-at least in my world, this is the case."

"But when you encounter difficulties, the first thing you think about is to avoid and deny, and you don't even want to admit the reality...Evelyn, you don't have the courage and conviction. You want to change your destiny, but you don't have the consciousness to pay your life for it. How is it possible to get a chance of victory on this battlefield where each other competes for wishes?"

Even though I said so, Gorgon’s snake hair gently stroked Evelyn’s head. The monster, Gorgon, with his snake hair’s eyes, staring at the place where he was summoned was very excited. , But now the summoner is extremely decadent.

She bluntly said: "But, Evelyn, I have seen many heroes and gods. They may be dazzling on the surface, but they all have their own shortcomings. On the other hand, you may not have the qualifications to become a great person."

"But you still have something you are good at.

For example, your ice magic—it’s hard to imagine that you can actually play ice magic so proficiently at a young age. Except for the first time you were discovered, after you peeped at those dragons fighting, they were all right. I don't know anything about this-indeed, you have no distance from actual combat, but if you really plan completely, with your and my strength, it may not be impossible to cause harm or severe damage to those high dragons and dragons."

Although it is a monster, Gorgon’s words are very sensible. Under the comfort of the earthly giant spirit born by this earth mother, Evelyn still has self-doubt in her eyes, but most gradually, her heart also Rising fiercely.

"Yes... even if it is defeated or dead, it can't be like this..."

She whispered to herself in such a low voice, but her tone gradually became calm: "Going back to her hometown as an ordinary person, passing a mediocre life, and then dying... Such death may still be in the hands of the dragon, more like'magic Teacher' a little bit."

"And my specialty..."

Thinking about this question, Evelyn was still a little confused at first, but soon, she seemed to think of something, her expression showed a trace of comprehension, and the light purple snake pupils began to flash with light that could petrify all living things. .

In this world, everyone has their own story, their own life, and their own way of thinking.

However, everyone cannot understand each other, respect each other, or even understand each other at all.

Not to mention class and class, race and race.

Oath-sworn priest Matvi flew in the midair of the Northland, passing the peaks, his eyes swept across the large swathes of empty villages, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"Even no matter how much attention is paid, it will affect ordinary people. The loss caused by migration in winter is really incalculable...I don't know how many families will become extremely poor and our hometown will be razed to the ground by our battle..."

Not out of hypocritical compassion, but a real sense of empathy. The priest closed his eyes briefly, then opened it again, and turned firm: "Fortunately, as long as a period of time has passed, you will never need to do this again. Kind of trivial worries."

Soon, Matvi came to the hunter's hut outside a mountain area.

That is, the location of a Dragon Ball holder.

"Surrender, Evelyn."

Standing high in the sky, looking down at the small wooden house under him, he said so, his tone calm and without waves: "Don't be surprised why I know your name, because your dragon ball is what we gave you-no matter how hiding It's no use, I can find you at any time."

Straightforwardly issued a notice of persuasion to surrender. Although the injury on his body has not healed, and Ying Long is not completely healthy, Matvi is extremely confident-let alone Gorgon’s magic eye corresponding to the dragon and his own high-level dragon blood, he has The existence effect of extremely high resistance will be discounted. He understands the power of Evelyn and Gorgon even beyond them.

Even, the other party will go to the Northland because of the induction he and the second prince jointly carry out-after all, if the Dragon Ball War wants to begin, one person must hold one Dragon Ball, and if they want to succeed with multiple Dragon Balls, they will naturally. These extra dragon balls are given to those who are talented to summon dragons, but have no fighting ability.

In this way, they can easily retake these dragon balls.

According to Matvi’s guess, Evelyn at this time should have been frightened by the horror of the Shenlong War... In fact, the horror of the war has exceeded his own expectations, whether it is Zhuzhou or Yemengarde. , They are both extremely tricky and powerful, and they will overturn if you are not careful. Fortunately, the two parties are now one of them exiting the field, and the other is severely injured, and both have a high probability of withdrawing from the stage of this dragon ball battle. Only Fafner on Vika's side is left.

On Favner’s side, Kumoor has his own countermeasures. The dragon certainly has immortality, but the pure power of Leviathan surpasses all magic weapons. When neither party has any special abilities, it is only a matter of time before the monster defeats the dragon. .

As long as he recycles this dragon ball, all the dragon balls will be retrieved by them except for the heavy damage to the candle day.

Victory and planned success are only one step away.

Thinking of this, Matvey couldn't help but lifted his heart-after planning for more than ten years, he is finally about to succeed. Since then, he can complete his ideal world-

However, for some reason, in the hut in the mountain, there is no meaning to reply.

Evelyn didn't say a word whether it was persuading surrender or intimidation, no matter what Mattwei said.

Although the priest has excellent patience, it is true that he does not only move his mouth and not his hands all the time, so after a sigh, he raised his hand, and together with the light yellow sky dragon that appeared behind him, he began to gather enough to smash a building. The mighty power of the mountain.

However, at the moment when he and Ying Long began to mobilize the power of the celestial phenomena, Matwei Bailong immediately sensed something wrong.

——There is a cloud layer, and I do not obey him and Ying Long's control!

what does this mean?It means that the clouds were not born naturally, but man-made!

Of course, this is not important. After all, it’s just a cloud. With the power of Mattwei and Yinglong, it only takes a moment and a thought to disperse it-out of caution, Mattwei even gave up on his body. The attack of the wooden house, instead of turning, dispersed the suspicious cloud first.

However, in this world, there is something faster than'a moving thought'.

For example,'light'.

look.

Just when Matvi turned his head and looked at the shining sunset glow at night, he saw the luminous cloud suspended above the sky and composed of countless ice crystal particles.

The crystal clear ice crystals formed by the condensation of the cold air in the north are now scattering the setting sun, turning into light blue light, making the sky sparkling like water waves-the red sunset glow mixed with the water waves, reflecting The magnificent lavender glow.

However, there is a dangerous light ten million times more dazzling than this Xia Guang, which is refracted, reverberated and condensed in this piece of ice crystal...

Gorgon’s innate power, the origin of most petrification techniques in the world-the'gaze' of the petrified magic eye!

——It's a mirror!

What a talented genius Mattwei, he just saw the ice crystal, he immediately thought of what the other party did... Yes, it is a mirror!Evelyn used her own ice magic to transform the ice crystals in the luminous cloud into a mirror, and constantly refracted the petrified magic light in the clouds. As long as she and Gorgon continued to input petrified magic power, it was enough. In an instant, the power that can instantly petrify the dragon broke out!

However, it was too late to think too much. At this moment, enough magic power was already condensed, and countless magic lights were refracted and gathered, and then as the ice crystals in the clouds moved, they finally gathered into a petrified light beam that could be called the most powerful in history.

It hit Mattwei and Yinglong, petrified it directly in place, and then fell towards the ground, falling to pieces.

"Me, I did it?!"

Following the flash of light in the brain, I constructed it for a long time, preparing to complete this great magic to control the ice cloud, placing the dragon ball in the hut, hiding behind the cloud, and Evelyn stared at the shattered dragon and Ying Long. The stone statue of Matvi looks incredible.

But soon, she laughed, smiling happily: "Did you see, Gorgon! I did it! I can fight too!"

"I am not a waste...I can also be a mage!"

——Look, I can do it too!

However, it was Gorgon who greeted her with a hasty warning.

"Don't be silly, hide away!"

——If it is a real Shenlong, its body fell to the ground from a height of several kilometers, and the mountain would collapse. How could it be so light and fluttering?

"That's not the real body!"

But it was too late to remind.

As they fell to the ground, the shattered stone statues of Yinglong and Matvey turned into strands of floating clouds, and one hand passed through Evelyn's back and crushed her heart.

"Madam, it's really strong. Although you really don't have any fighting talents, your spellcasting ability is really genius."

There is no room for recovery. Matvi’s power shattered all of Evelyn’s organs in an instant, and the brain was directly destroyed. On the other side, Ying Long, who appeared again from the clouds and mist, also suddenly appeared. The incarnate snake-head giant spirits fought together, and they fell to the ground, crushing the small mountain peak and crushing the wooden house in a fierce roar.

After killing Evelyn, Matvey stretched out his hand expressionlessly and closed the other's eyes that were still joyful. He also closed his eyes, closing the sympathy that he didn't know if it was hypocritical in his heart. : "But your teacher is right. You are really not suitable for being a mage-the mage is smart and cautious, calm and even cold..."

Then, in bursts of divine rainbow light, Evelyn's body began to slowly become illusory, and her dazed soul gradually emerged... Then, as Matvey whispered a few curses After the text, Evelyn's body disappeared completely, and the soul was sucked into the body of the priest.

At this moment, behind him, a phantom of a giant snake with his tail faintly appeared.

It is like a huge gear, slowly spinning behind it.

"Let's go, Dragon of Heaven."

After doing all this, Matvey opened his eyes again. At this time, the dragon pupils in his eyes were gradually fading and disappearing, and replaced by a pure halo.

At the beginning, his tone still had a color of joy or sorrow, but in the end, everything returned to firmness: "The descendants of the earth mother, the derivation of the earth dragon have also been collected."

"With the addition of Kumol's'Dragon of Man', the key to the last step has been collected."

"Haha, those who want to ascend to heaven,"

To the calm tone of his summoner, Ying Long, who completely suppressed Gorgon, who was lacking in magic, smiled heartily: "Your arrogant desire is the reason for summoning me."

"It's hard for me to imagine that you would actually agree to my plan."

"No, little guy, for our dragon, you shouldn't think about'will he refuse'. Think in another way,'why should I refuse?"

"Why not do such an interesting thing?"

The figures of Mattwei and Ying Long disappear into the sunset.

Soon after the Dragon War begins, the night of the second day will come.

And just between this increasingly bleak world, in the entire north, only Maier City still had lights flashing.

But even so, Maia City is now in a mess.

"Well, has the Gorgon and its Dragon Ball been recovered? Well done, Matvey, as expected of my best assistant!"

"As for me? It's almost finished."

Putting down the communication circle in his hand, the second prince Cumor lowered his head and looked at the priest Vika, who was kneeling on the ground, covered in blood, and still breathing at the moment, his expression was rather cold.

At this moment, it can be seen that the formerly prosperous Eastern District of Maier City has become a large area of ​​ruins and lava fields-houses in most of the cities have been dumped and collapsed in different sizes, and the most serious In the area, you can even see some deep dragon-shaped dents, as if some huge creature had been shaken by a person and blasted into the crust.

A human body was buried under sand and gravel, and blood flowed out of the wreckage of the building and then solidified into ice.

In addition to the corpses of ordinary people, you can also see some unusual corpses wearing special power armors-these power armors have no logos, and no heraldry, just the purest blackness, but because they are not painted If you are familiar with the dark side of the empire, you will be shocked to know that this is the exclusive power armor of the'Nighthawk Troop' that belongs directly to the Emperor and is specially used to assassinate extremely threatening extraordinary people!

But now, the power armors of a total of twelve Night Shadow troops are scattered around in tatters, and the powerful transcendents driving among them are naturally dead long ago.

Even the corpse of Lord Maia appeared in the corner of the street. This middle-aged man who had intended to use the power of Dragon Ball to claim the emperor independently was no different from ordinary people when he died. In his eyes, he was still dead. A look of shock remained.

"So, are you still reluctant to submit to me? Vika, I am very optimistic about you, and your wish is indeed my wish."

With that said, the blond second prince sighed and walked to the immobile priest Vika, who was still gritting his teeth: "Your dragon has been beheaded by me. In essence, you have no use value-and why I Keeping you alive is that I am really optimistic about your future potential. Vika. I have reserved a place for you in the world empire I will build in the future."

"Pooh!"

For Kumor’s solicitation, the almost hemiplegic priest beaten by the thousands of heroic souls incarnation of Leviathan, he responded with only one simple word. He raised his head and did not look at the second prince with frowning brows, but looked around the whole with pity. City: "A person like you, a person like you who launched a dragon war in the city...what is the difference between the elf druid who initiated the Dark Green Disaster?!"

The gods saw that the souls of countless dead people full of grievances were wandering in this world-the souls of the innocent people who died as a result of the Dragon Ball War were wandering on the scorched earth, and all of this belonged to him and Kumol Due to fighting.

Same as Archdruid?No, no, it’s far, even Vika must admit that it was the empire that invaded the elves and took the lead in attacking and burning civilian villages. This led to the elves’ unscrupulous revenge... and this time, the second prince clearly had something to do. He chose, but forcibly forced himself to fight in the city, so that he was helpless and could not fight back.

"People are dying, and I am no exception."

In this regard, the second prince’s tone was impatient: “It’s nothing more than they are dead now, and I will die in the revenge or assassination of the enemy... Vika, if you really value the lives of civilians. , I shouldn’t hide in the city. Could it be that I still can’t surprise you in the city because there are ordinary people nearby?”

But this kind of words didn't make any sense, because Vika's whole body had begun to bloom with pure and sacred light.

"The unclean...I want to die with you!"

At this moment, a bright fire spewed out of the priest’s orifice, burning his flesh and blood, and in an instant, the originally beautiful priest was turned into a skeleton by the burning holy flame he ignited, comparable to the sun. Bright light shone from the dark eyes of the snow-white skull.

At the cost of burning his flesh and soul, Vika returned to his peak, or even beyond the peak, at this moment, the substantive spiritual power turned into invisible flesh and blood, supporting the skeleton to step forward, and then holding high the hot light. The torrent of waves rushed towards Kumol.

Enough to ignite the bright light of steel, the second prince was swallowed in an instant... But then, a larger and more incredible power erupted from him.

The roar of tens of thousands of people rang out, and the countless phantoms of the heroic spirits that Kumoor circled around turned into impenetrable barriers, which firmly blocked Vika’s holy light, even if it was only a millimeter away from him. The aftermath of this scattered light melted the ruins of a tall building on one side into lava, and Kumor's expression did not change at all.

"This is the price destined to pay for making a wish."

He stretched out his hand and pushed Vika away impatiently. The power of Leviathan burst out, crushing most of the priest’s bones and turning them into dust floating in the air: "You know eight hundred years ago, for How many people died in the battle for Dragon Ball? Only 76 of the 217 city-states remained. Two-thirds of the human population was wiped out by the Shenlong War... If it was not me, but someone else got the dragon ball, The number of people who died is a hundred times greater than today."

"Of course, I will bear these sacrifices, and I will create a strong and peaceful empire."

Vika couldn't hear Kumol's defense for himself.

With only a trace of soul left, he could only look at the city of Maia where countless grievances were floating at the end of his life, and then his consciousness gradually blurred and disappeared.

But suddenly.

He saw it, and there was a ray of light in the distance.

A ray of pure and gentle light was slowly coming.

He walked all the way, soothing all the dead souls along the way, and then, just like this, tenderly put them all in his arms and embraced tenderly.

Everyone... is integrated...

So, what kind of light is it?

Vika has no extra energy to think about this, and the trace of his own soul is gradually flying up, gradually sinking into the light.

Until the end, he heard someone's voice.

"Oh, here you are, Matvey."

It was the voice of the second prince, and his tone was joyful: "Did Gorgon caught it? Very good, this is a very important part of our plan. We need the blood of the mother god to breed the'giant spirit'. It is the foundation for me to rebel against my father and maintain a new empire in the future!"

"Yes, your plan is perfect and it is destined to change the world."

It was another gentle and calm voice, his tone humble: "If possible, your Royal Highness Kumor should be the greatest emperor in the history of this world."

"Hahaha, be confident, with your help, you can remove those'possible' and'should'-I am destined to become the greatest emperor in the world!"

Vika can feel nothing, know nothing.

However, even so, the gentle voice, the last sentence, came straight into his heart.

"So, I'm sorry, Your Highness."

Then, there was the sound of the blade piercing the flesh and blood, and a roar of extremely angry anger.

"I also want to change the world."
