After Custer's lengthy explanation, Sully was certain that, in theory, he could indeed refine the elements.

But this kind of "theory" is extremely metaphysical.

Custer explained: "You have to believe that you can really cultivate this power, and radiate your spirit to actively absorb the elemental factors in the air into your body."

After Suli said this, his eyes gradually became deep.

As for whether one has expectations for the power of another world, I can only say that everyone wants it.

But once idealism is involved, Sully, who remains a materialistic warrior even after traveling to another world, cannot understand the divergent spirit that Custer is talking about.

For the first time, he doubted his ability to read and comprehend.

To be honest, when he was a student, his Chinese reading and comprehension, although not always ranked first, was always among the top three.

Suli said expressionlessly, "So when you say you want to scatter your spirit, you can completely ignore the concept of elemental affinity?"

"That's right." Custer nodded. "Because you are nothing but a hole in the eyes of the elements. Subjectively, the elements think that your body is not a place where they can survive and stay, so they will naturally not try to actively integrate into your body, or be passively absorbed by you."

"The other way around is, if you think the element is something you can absorb, then you can absorb the element into your body."

"You should know that in the experiments related to your blood, the blood drawn from your body was divided into several parts. And after being injected with human subjective elements, each part of the blood can accommodate elements."

Suli pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache: "Say something I can understand."

Caster paused for a moment and explained: "In other words, if you want to cultivate the elements, there are two ways. One is to cultivate subjectively, and the other is to let other elementalists inject their own elements into your body, allowing you to adapt to the elements from the inside first, and then obtain external elements through cultivation until the habit changes."

Sully couldn't hold back any longer: "No, this is impossible no matter what."

"Believe me, I can do it!" Custer firmly believed that Suli could definitely refine the elements.

Sully said expressionlessly: "Let's put this topic aside for now."

Whether injecting inexplicable things (elements) into his body or making him believe that his body can accommodate inexplicable things (elements), Suli does not think that such a possibility exists.

So he redirected the conversation to other people.

"How can I increase the growth limit and training speed of other elementalists?"

"It's not important at all!"

"The most important thing is that you can refine the elements!" Kaster's whole face expressed the meaning of not caring about other people.

What’s interesting is that “others” think the same way.

When Egbert heard that Suli could refine elements, his eyes lit up uncontrollably.

"I also think it is most important for Lord Suli to improve his own strength."

Egbert even imagined the scene of personally instructing Suli in cultivation. His face flushed and he said in a very serious tone: "Even if our strength is improved, it's no big deal. The most important thing now is you. It's a big improvement from being completely unable to cultivate to being able to cultivate! This symbolizes not only that you can cultivate as a person with zero element affinity, but also a new, unprecedented path!"

Sully was speechless at this assessment. He said: "Even if blood can remain active after being extracted from the human body and can be used for various experiments, it does not mean that blood can be equated with the human body."

"Idealism won't work with me."

Suli knocked on the spot where his heart was and said, "Suppose I am a void to the elements. No matter what is poured into this void, nothing will be obtained in the end."

“This is what makes sense.”

As Sully explained, he looked at the increasingly disappointed eyes of the others. He could even hallucinate the dog's ears that were originally standing upright, drooping down because of disappointment.

Finally, he held his forehead helplessly.

"If you don't believe it, come and try it."

Anyway, when Custer's explanation was expressed in the form of idealism, Sully knew that things would not succeed.

But since others wanted to test it, Suli didn't mind giving it a chance.

Thus, the element input plan, which was so tense that everyone held their breath, officially began.

Custer commanded Egbert, whose eyes were red with excitement, to carefully hold Sully's shoulders and inject a very weak light element from his own body into Sully's body.

But nothing happened afterwards.

Custer's eyes widened in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

Having said that, Custer did not ask Egbert to continue to deepen the elemental output, but drew another tube of Sully's blood and began to urgently investigate the cause.

The simplest way to check is to measure the concentration of the element directly in the blood.

But the result was exactly the same as the blood drawn before, without any elemental fluctuations at all.

Even the blood looked like water with red pigment added, and the concentration was not high.

While Custer was shouting "Impossible", he continued to inject elements into the blood in the test tube.

The result was obvious. The blood that was finally drawn out contained Custer's elemental infusion. And any elementalist who took a look at it would not think that the blood with the elemental factors that was emanating from it was related to Suli's blood...

But the fact is, the blood has always been Sully's blood.

As everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, Suli used a cotton ball to press the vein where the blood was being drawn. He said helplessly, "I told you it's impossible."

"Maybe you can think of me as a swimming pool that is draining water on one side and leaking water on the other?"

"The elements will never be full, so I will never be able to retain the elements."

"That's probably it?" Suli tried to explain his physical condition using a metaphysical method that they could understand.

He didn't seem to show any disappointment at his inability to refine the elements.

Or maybe he didn't have any particularly high expectations of being able to refine the elements.

There isn't much difference between lighting a fire with a lighter and using a toy water gun to control the elements...

perhaps?

Suli wanted to make Custer give up: "Now that we know that elements have no effect on me, we can start discussing how to increase the growth limit of others and their elemental cultivation speed."

Stop loss in time.

Suli didn't have much time to waste on whether he could cultivate himself.

Although Custer was disappointed, there was still a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

He felt that there was no reason why Suli's blood could accommodate elemental factors but his own could not.

But there is probably no need to make this research public after this.

Since Sully has not made any expectations in this regard, what Custer has to do is to try not to talk about this matter again before actually getting things done.

Lest you have expectations, in the end there will only be disappointment.

So the teenager and the researchers changed the subject very decisively, leaving only a group of adults in the small building angry and dissatisfied.

Egbert looked disappointed: "I thought Lord Sully could really start practicing."

The other people had more or less the same expression.

Before the gloomy atmosphere spread throughout the venue, Lan Zhe took the initiative to clap his hands to divert everyone's attention and said, "Don't pay too much attention to these for now."

"Let's first focus on whether Custer can improve our strength."

But if you want to find a solution, there are indeed people who stay at the research base all day long.

"Elements are intangible things before they form entities. You can't assume that elements have volume just because they have the appearance of matter after forming entities." Custer said, pointing to the vessel containing Sully's blood.

"This is a misunderstanding." Custer showed a distressed expression from time to time during his explanation.

Now that one of the two ways of cultivating elements for Suli had been ruled out, he suddenly became less confident about the other one.

Influenced by this emotion, Custer finally gave up continuing to explain how to enhance the power of others. He chose to directly give his research notes to everyone.

That notebook, which was thick enough to be used as a brick to hit someone, detailed all of Custer's idealistic theories on how to reasonably enhance the elements.

Among them, the words that made everyone suddenly realize something were shown to Suli, who suddenly became confused as to how to react.

[It is better to say that elements are somewhere between non-existence and existence than to say that they exist. Only after we absorb this power can we truly show its existence. Before we absorb it, we can only see elemental factors of different colors. Therefore, I personally think that the best way to increase the speed of elemental cultivation is to use alchemy tools to gather a large number of single-attribute elements and then directly inject them into the elementalist's body. ]

Sully: ...?

After being confused, he chose to say to all those who showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Logic is dead, elements live forever, everyone, keep going."

As for himself...

It’s more practical to lie down.

Custer then went on to explain that even if the alchemy tool absorbed a large amount of elements, the elementalist's body might not be able to bear that power.

Therefore, even if one wants to force growth and improve strength through scientific research methods that are not natural cultivation, those who want to drastically increase their strength should at least have a strong body that can bear that power if they do not want to endanger their lives.

But there is one subtle thing.

That is, the improvement of the human body itself comes from the strengthening of the elements.

The logic is closed.

If the flesh is not strong enough, it is impossible to elevate the elements. If the elements are not strong enough, it is impossible to strengthen the flesh.

How to solve this?

Custer gave a direction that made everyone want to unite and beat him up.

——Let the stronger monsters actively use their own elemental power to strengthen the human body.

Euphia grabbed Caster by the collar and roared, "Do you think a normal monster would agree to this?!"

Custer coughed and struggled, then he said something very illogical, but everyone agreed with it.

"Of course normal monsters won't do that, but there are always monsters that submit to Master Suli!"

No one dared to say that those powerful monsters would not stop and look at Suli.

After all, compared to Suli's strength, the strength of everyone in the small building can be labeled as strong.

After the topic involved the humanoid monster, Custer chose to command his assistant to take Sully to the next room to see the alchemy tools he had made before.

And he gave the excuse that it was to "alleviate your sadness about not being able to refine the elements."

Although Sully was speechless, he knew that the next topic was something that Custer intended to avoid letting him hear, so he chose to follow his assistant out.

In the final testing room, Cyril raised questions immediately after Sully left.

"If there really are monsters, and they stand by Suli like us, why would they choose to strengthen for us?"

Cyril said: "At least in my opinion, if I have enough strength, I can stand behind Sully alone and protect him, so that he can do anything without any worries."

These words pierced everyone's heart and made them bleed.

Cyril: "I even think that it doesn't matter if Sully enters the monster society alone. Because when he first met us, he didn't have anyone standing behind him."

Later, everyone who gathered around Sully was powerful enough to crush Sully at any time.

They are all crushing. What is the difference between the crushing by human strength and the crushing by stronger monsters?

Suli himself is not a person who makes a living by his own strength.

From his own perspective, Shuya said: "We want to follow Suli's footsteps out of our own ideas, not his compulsory requirements. On the other hand, if we want the monsters to improve our strength through Suli, then isn't it like we want to follow Suli when he moves?"

"I don't think it's necessary to do this, and I don't think that strength must be improved."

Several people were stunned by what they heard.

As the queen's child, the eldest prince of Amiqbe, the teenager most likely to become the next king, rarely showed himself when he was inside the small building.

But he was actually thinking about what he could do for Suli.

When everyone was thinking about improving their strength to protect Suli, what they were thinking about was whether there was a way to provide Suli with more self-protection capabilities.

Compared to asking for protection from others, Suli is obviously best at using the conditions he already has to protect himself.

From this perspective, if he really wants to help Suli, what he needs to do is to create more things that Suli can use directly to protect himself.

This is what he thinks is the best solution.

Everyone who wanted to improve their strength was stunned.

But before he was led astray by foreign ideas and theories, Egbert already had sufficient ability to think for himself.

"This is just your way of thinking." Egbert sat upright in the bright but always dazzling laboratory. "You have too many things that you cannot give up, such as your mother and your responsibilities."

"But I am different. I only have Lord Sully." When the Holy See of Light tried to keep Egbert, he chose to give up. Even his acquaintance with other people was only because of Sully.

Euphia has the Mercenary Alliance, Lan Zhe has the Dark Church behind him, and without Amicbi, Caster has a research base where he can devote all his efforts...

"The only ones who can truly follow Lord Sully without any worries are me and Cyril."

One of them lost everything and was left with only Sully, while the other was an orphan from the beginning.

Even Roy cannot be truly free from all worries.

Before Sully spent the only New Year's Eve he could remember, Roy also returned to Sri Lanka to spend time with his deceased wife and have a drink.

No one will die if they leave. Egbert couldn't say what would happen if Cyril left Sully, but he sincerely felt that if he left Sully, he would really not be able to survive.

Perhaps other people would also desire power, but under the premise that the anger of the humanoid monster is equivalent to the end of humanity, those who think they are powerless to change, even if they can give 100% effort, will definitely not give 200% effort.

Egbert is determined to make himself stronger. His desire to become stronger far exceeds that of others. Naturally, he will not be led astray by the desire to take a different path and direction and fall into uncertainty, chaos and confusion.

This only made him more determined to become stronger.

We cannot make things difficult for Suli, so before Elvi and Leia actually take the raven away, we must try our best to get enough opportunities to improve our strength from those two non-humans.

Egbert also expressed his thoughts.

Many people were hesitant, but Cyril, the only one he approved, said without hesitation, "Add me in."

After that, the two men did not wait for anyone else's response. They just told Custer to send Sully back safely before dinner, and then went to the outskirts of the city together, to the lake created by the dragon and the mermaid.

The person who was left behind also thought for a long time in that room.

He was not ready to return to the inner city to fight for the position, because only by sitting on the throne would he have enough power.

The power of an individual can never compare to that of a group. A person standing behind Sully is not as good as leading a country behind Sully.

The boy expressed his thoughts and then chose to leave the laboratory.

Euphia picked up Caster again and asked, "If the Lions leader uses his own wind element to strengthen Cyril's body, and then uses the elements collected by your alchemy tool to infuse it into her body, does that mean that Cyril can be upgraded to the same level of strength as the Lions leader in a very short period of time?"

Caster nodded, and even wanted to introduce to Euphia the logical details of how to strengthen the body so that it could accommodate more elements to increase strength.

But the heir of the Mercenary Alliance was too lazy to communicate this to him.

Euphia fell into deep thought.

She began to think, if she, as a first-class fire elementalist, stated that she would enhance the strength of all fire elementalists, then in the situation where Sully was in opposition to the monsters, could the fire elementalists become a force to support Sully... ?

Although they had not discussed it in detail, at this moment, it seemed that her thoughts coincided with Euphia's in a certain way.

It’s just that the former still needs to fight for the opportunity to sit in that position, while the latter needs to expand his own reputation to ensure that the person who improves his strength can really become a force to support Suley.

Compared to the two who need to have certain necessary prerequisites, the Dark Pope, who had never said a word and listened to this confidential information, suddenly said: "There should be no one who is more suitable than Lan Zhe to improve to my level of strength in a short period of time."

The Dark Son was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but look at the Dark Pope.

But the man in the black cloak has already begun to tell Custer about his own strength.

He asked, "If I choose to use my own power to strengthen Lan Zhe's body, how long will it take for this child to reach my current strength? And, if I take the shortcut as you said, how much time will it take to practice normally? Will there be any difference in strength?"

Custer estimated the situation of the Dark Son, and finally told the Dark Pope: "If Lan Zhe practices with all his strength and does not slack off, it will take him about three years to catch up with you. And if you use your power to strengthen his body, and then use the dark elements collected by the alchemy tools to inject into his body, it will only take..."

Custer raised three fingers. In his field, the researchers had the confidence that their social status far exceeded that of the people present.

"Three days. Just three days, and I can guarantee that Lan Zhe's strength will be equal to yours, and there will be no possibility that his foundation will be unstable."

Everyone was stunned.

I don't know who suddenly said something that I still remember clearly.

"Sure enough, Custer and the existence behind him are, as Sully initially said, a shooting star destined to light up the night sky?"

Custer's face turned pale, and he showed a long-lost crazy smile.

He still remembered the first words he got from Sully.

——"Everything we do is right, everything we do is just. We are the shooting stars of the times, destined to light up the dark night sky."

No one has ever thought about why one must be guided by someone of the same element in order to achieve a greater improvement in strength.

There is indeed a barrier between the different elements, but this barrier is not so thick that even with Egbert's strength, his guidance of Cyril cannot be significantly improved.

What can a researcher do?

Nothing can be done. Any adult in the small building can kill Custer.

But researchers, as the saying goes - we are the shooting stars of our times, destined to light up the dark night sky.

Never expect the long term, Custer only cares about the present.

When the Dark Pope was about to directly open the strengthening for Lan Zhe, the old man also asked a new question: "Are elements inexhaustible?"

Custer answered this question with a rhetorical question.

"Then let me ask you, how many more decades do you think you can live?"

The Dark Pope never spoke to Caster again, but instead concentrated on strengthening Lan Zhe's body.

As Custer said, he really didn't have many years left to live.

Among Charles' five members, Charles died in his prime, the Pope of Light died of his own actions, the president of the Mercenary Alliance lost most of his power due to being assassinated, and the only ones still alive were Dean Asa and this Dark Pope...

Of the five of them, two have died.

How long can the others who are still alive live?

Not long.

As for what happens after death? Of course, dust returns to dust, and ashes return to ashes. No matter how many elements there are, they will eventually return to the world.

After strengthening Lan Zhe's body to a certain extent, the Dark Pope suddenly started talking to Caster about another topic.

He asked Custer: "What do you think is right for the world, humans or monsters?"

While the researchers handed the alchemy tool that collected enough dark elements to Lan Zhe, whose face was distorted with pain and sweating profusely due to strengthening his body, they gave the Dark Pope a confused look.

"Why do you have such a problem? The world doesn't care about these things at all." After seeing Lan Zhe calm down, sit down cross-legged, and start receiving the elements stored in the alchemy tools, Caster consciously took the man in the black robe out of the room.

"And if you explain it by saying that humans live short lives and leave nothing behind after death, which allows elements to form a virtuous cycle in the world, then it can be said that humans are more important to the world, or that this is correct."

"After all, for a monster that can easily survive for thousands of years, the power stored in their bodies is obviously huge enough." Custer drew a circle, "One monster has this amount of reserves, and it won't return to the world for thousands of years. Those two monsters have two of this amount."

"Perhaps you asked me this question because you actually wanted to express that the existence of monsters has plundered too many elements, causing dissatisfaction in the world, which is why humans are aware of the existence of monster civilization and have begun to study how to improve their own strength and ultimately destroy the monsters?"

The Dark Pope's mouth twitched, and his steps in the laboratory corridor also stopped.

Custer then stopped and gave him a puzzled look.

The Dark Pope then said, "I didn't think that much."

Custer gave him a look that said, "Guess whether I believe it or not," and then walked forward again.

The researchers were able to tell even more about what he was thinking.

"Perhaps what you really want to say is that Sully's existence allows humans to seize the right opportunity and from then on be qualified to control their own destiny..."

"Savior?" Custer uttered the word as if he had suddenly realized something.

Custer even commented: "As expected, he is the Dark Pope of the same level as the Light Pope. Just a little information can make you think of so many things."

The man in the black robe chose only to smile.

After all, no one wants to be considered as a scheming person by someone with whom they can have an equal conversation.

The Dark Pope even showed a mischievous expression and said, "You said all this yourself."

Custer stopped again and turned his head to look to the side.

But this time he said nothing.

…

That night, Suli ate the rice cooked by Mark after a long absence.

The Dark Pope briefly informed Lan Zhe of his situation. Finally, the old man said that he wanted to look for Dean Asa and the President of the Mercenary Alliance.

Suli didn't know the reason, but Yufia, who came to eat, explained, "Maybe they thought my previous idea could be expanded, so they went to discuss cooperation with them."

Euphia didn't say what the idea was or what the cooperation was.

Just like Custer's mentality, before the actual results are realized, all the possibilities told to Sully are essentially just empty promises.

Moreover, if one really wants to greatly increase the power of different elementalists, there are too many details that need to be discussed in private.

Character, age, mentality...

Euphia's eyes went dark, and she couldn't help but complain: "I always feel that it is much more than reducing the workload of the nobles in the war mission phase."

Although Suli was full of questions, he did not ask any further questions.

He was even somewhat pleased that others knew they were keeping secrets from him.

When Sully was told everything, he really began to wonder if these people were counting on him to lead them every step of the way.

This invisible pressure is very hard on players whose life goal is to retire early and then calmly let go.

Sure enough, it is better not to exist.

…

Halfway through dinner, Cyril, Egbert and the two human-shaped disasters returned.

It is not known how the dragon-bred boy and the stubborn former Son of Light did it, but they both found the right balance in getting along with the giant dragon and the mermaid. Although they were not killed by the latter, they were beaten half to death.

Suli decisively dropped his bowl and chopsticks, picked up the medicine box that Lan Zhe had prepared at home, and was about to bandage the two of them when Elvi said, "That boy with my blood is not necessary."

Sully thought a lot in his mind in an instant, but Elvi did not give him a chance to think deeply, but told him the answer directly.

"Today he told me that he wanted to follow you into the world of monsters."

Sully suddenly stopped holding the bandage.

Elvi continued, "Although the dragon race does not have a high demand for humans who have awakened their dragon bloodline, for the entire feather race, a giant dragon's individual combat capability is extremely strong. Once he is discovered, he will most likely be forcibly transformed."

"And the reason you don't have to bandage him is that, over the past 200 years, after many experiments, one of the ways to increase the success rate of transforming into a monster is to lose a lot of blood while being a human who awakens the monster's bloodline."

"The blood-forming abilities of humans and monsters are different. People who awaken monster bloodlines are themselves somewhere between humans and monsters. As long as they lose a lot of blood, the blood-forming function provided by the monster bloodlines will provide them with most of the blood they need."

"In other words... as long as the concentration of human blood in Cyril's body is reduced, his survival rate will increase when he transforms into a dragon?" Suli's face turned cold in an instant.

At the same time, he picked up the bandage without hesitation to bandage Cyril's wound.

Suli suddenly felt fortunate that he was not an elementalist.

Compared to the various homework that Cyril and Ju had to do after school, Sully was really free.

And those free time were not completely wasted. Most of the time, the people in the small building would teach him some useful knowledge. For example, Lan Zhe patiently taught Su Li the functions of various medicines and powders in the medicine box.

After Mark helped to straighten Cyril's broken bones, Sully gave Cyril a bottle of repair medicine and sprinkled the accelerated healing powder on his wounds, and bandaged it in a blink of an eye.

The dragon-born boy with a bandage on his head lowered his eyes and said with guilt, "I'm sorry."

I'm sorry Sully saw this.

He was also sorry that he had given Sully the choice of his future.

Sully understood, but he said nothing and went with Mark to treat Egbert's injuries.

When the treatment process was repeated on Egbert, Leia deliberately showed a surprised expression and asked in a somewhat exaggerated manner: "Don't you want that child to become a monster and go deep into the monster society so that he can provide you with various monster-related information?"

Suli's expression was cold: "I don't want to."

"As long as you are at a place, there will always be opportunities to get information."

"Perhaps if I turn into a giant dragon, I will become very powerful, but I don't want my friend to suffer from an incurable "madness" because of this."

Leia looked unhappy.

"Why do you think that the monster's mental problems are incurable?"

Sully did not want to explain the details while bandaging Egbert, so he told Leia the answer directly.

"Since you care about the fact that ravens are birds, have wings, and can fly, that means that the only thing that can be filled with ravens' genes is monsters with similar characteristics."

Suli even thought that once the strength of the raven Leia mentioned reached level ten, he would not let it go because of its value - which also meant that one of the flying monsters in the water, who was very important to Leia, might be on the verge of madness.

Leah stopped.

He somehow understood why Elvy always looked like he wanted to kill Sully but didn't do it in the end.

It's really strange. It's just a tiny bit of information that others can't possibly see, but Sully was able to find out so much from it.

Moreover, Suli was able to do so. Even when the humanoid monster knew that he was stripped naked, he did not get angry enough to kill him.

Leia turned to Elvi and asked, "Why don't you do it?"

Elvite, don't bother him: "Don't talk to me."

But the dragon still explained the reason.

Elvi looked at Sully and said in a cold voice: "I actually want to know how far humans can go if they are just humans."

This reply didn't seem to be telling Leia the answer, but more like it was specifically for Suli to hear.

Sully pretended not to hear, bandaged Egbert, and then prepared a meal for him.

During the meal in the second half, the two humanoid monsters suddenly realized how humans became masters of balancing things.

Even if Sully didn't say it explicitly, the two humanoid monsters could tell that because Cyril was bandaged first, he packed some food specially for Egbert who was bandaged later.

In the second half of the meal, in order to accompany the two disabled people throughout the meal, Sully even went to the kitchen to get some grains and cereals to feed the crows.

Leia: ...

Elvi: ...

Tsk, I suddenly feel a little unhappy.

Leia said sarcastically: "As expected of weak humans, you will die if you don't eat."

But no one paid any attention to him.

Even Suli couldn't figure out the mentality of these two humanoid monsters.

Elvi was in no hurry to take the raven away, and because Leia was in no hurry to leave, she couldn't contact the king of the Feather Tribe through her to discuss the details of cooperation, so she just stayed here.

Sully had the right, but not the power, to stop the two from staying in the guest room in the small building, so he could only pretend not to see Leia's weirdness.

At night, when he calculated that everyone was asleep, Sully knocked on Egbert's door.

Perhaps he had expected this, or perhaps he was just a little sloppy, but Egbert's room was even tidier than Sully's.

Suli didn't go any further. He pulled out the chair next to the table at the door, closed the door, and sat down on it.

Egbert walked back to his bed in silence. Perhaps because he knew that Sully was waiting for him to speak, he took the initiative to say after a while: "I want to go with Master Sully."

It was difficult before he opened his mouth, but once the topic was opened, Egbert, who had not expressed his inner thoughts to Sully for a long time, seemed to have opened the gate of conversation and could not stop.

"Whether it's to eliminate the monsters that are likely to be lurking in the monster society and regard the destruction of humans as their own standard of peace, or simply to follow in your footsteps, I don't think I should stop."

"I actually never figured out what you, Lord Sully, really want. I've always wanted to give you the best reward I can think of, but I don't know..." Egbert sat on the bed with his head down.

When he spoke, he didn't seem to be talking to a teenager who was much younger than him, but to his elders, his own... beliefs.

"I don't know what to do to be truly good to you." Egbert raised his head.

"I want everyone to know what you did."

Assist the heir of the Mercenary City to reform the mercenary mission mode, uncover the truth about the monster invasion of Sri Qing City, help the last crystal dragon in the world to take revenge, fight for the survival of Sadina City from the 100,000-strong army, and design a
