"I'm going to Licheng next."

As soon as Sully said this, everyone else was furious.

"When you go on a long journey, you can't just do whatever you want."

"What are you going to do when the city is doomed to be in turmoil?"

"If you want to know the intelligence, any one of us can take your place and see everything that happened there clearly."

"That princess has evil ambitions. Even if we reach a cooperation now, it doesn't mean that such an extremely selfish person will choose to give up killing you."

"Whether it's her eyes or her expression, when she's not trying to divert attention, she looks like she wants to kill you, but there's no hiding it."

Sully looked at the explosion in an instant, but it only produced people who stopped him from going, and did not question why he went. He just felt bald.

"No matter how much I say, I'm going to go. Of course I know it's dangerous there, but for some things, I'd rather witness them with my own eyes than to just accept that they're happening in a corner I don't know about."

This is a change destined by the times.

What will happen if he goes and what will happen if he doesn't go?

If he goes, it will be equivalent to the power linked to the Mercenary City, and will directly penetrate into the capital city that mixes everything with an extremely strong attitude.

And if he didn't go, it would be obvious that Ophelia would not let go of Sardina, an autonomous city of mercenaries.

An army of one hundred thousand men was standing outside, waiting covetously, and they were determined to bring the city down.

All the forces in the inner city were drawn together, bound to cause a conflict. Only the Mercenary City was standing tall and watching from afar...

Is this realistic?

Maybe in the eyes of others, it is entirely possible to solve the problem of the city after everything has calmed down. But Ophelia can't do that.

She has too little and wants too much.

Ophelia didn't want to accept that after she failed, the people in this city didn't even know she was dead. She was even more unwilling to accept that after she succeeded, there was a city that didn't even want to acknowledge that she was the queen.

The reason why Suli wanted to go was not only because of this realistic situation, but more because of subjective idealism.

Because there is a natural barrier between him and other upper-class people in this world.

Putting aside all the complicated facts that are intertwined with each other, Sully could not accept that Ophelia became the queen, or that the Pope's plan was completely successful.

Suli's intuition told him that there was a deeper level in that city that they did not understand yet...

Sin.

Why would the Pope have the idea of ​​standing above the king?

For thousands of years, the country and the Church have maintained peace. Is the person who broke it an exception, or did he know something else?

Without sufficient intelligence, even if one were to infer something from nothing, there was no guarantee that it would be logical. After all, Sully had never even met the Pope.

"I want to know the final outcome after countless people struggled in that city."

“I also want to know why the world is so distorted.”

"What I want to know more is what Sardina can do and what it can 'achieve' after the Licheng incident is over."

There is no power organization that can be forever transcended.

Given that Xia Zuo and those troops alone can bring unlimited pressure to this city, if this city does not take advantage of this incident to break the impasse, how will it cope with the future?

If Xia Zuo could assassinate the president of the Mercenary Alliance, then he could also kill anyone with the same power as the president, as well as all the leaders within the Mercenary City.

Even if the mercenaries might still hold on to the Mercenary City after their leader's death because of their self-spirit and desire for freedom, what would be the consequences?

Why did Egbert exist as the guardian of Sripurg City?

It is obvious that without strong individuals to protect it, a city is not so much a city as it is fat meat in the eyes of others.

Maybe it won't be swallowed all at once, but unlimited oil extraction will definitely exist.

By that time...

"When that time comes, standing by and watching now will only be the sin of the incompetent wailing about the real hell that is coming."

Suli half lowered his head and looked at his hands.

These hands are no different from my modern self, except for the wrinkles on the nails from holding a pen; they are still soft and don't have much strength.

Completely different compared to others.

In addition to elemental skills, Euphia is also proficient in swordsmanship. Her aggressive close combat style makes the palms of the only woman present filled with all kinds of cocoons.

Sully is not so self-righteous as to think that women's hands should be soft.

He was just thinking about himself, whether he could, in the true sense, take good care of himself in his old age without being influenced by others.

If the future remains the same as it is now, then even the most ordinary retirement plan will not even be possible to achieve.

Suli saw those who had gradually become silent, and he said, "I can watch the birth of hell, and I can also watch the tragedies of my peers, because the incompetent have always done so. However, you have made me realize that a weak person like me also has the ability to change the world, so you can no longer ask me to watch for a long time."

"Of course I want to live alone in a quiet corner, bask in the sun every day, or raise a cat, and occasionally see scenery I have never seen before. This kind of life has always been what I want."

"But this shitty world can't do that!"

When Sully found that he could not fit into the existing rules of this world and was unwilling to change all the three views he had cultivated in the other world, although his reason and heart did not collapse, the word "collapse" was engraved in his brain and heart.

Like not being accepted.

But the reality is different from this feeling.

Everyone around him trusts him and accepts him.

Who in their right mind would believe that when a city is defending against foreign enemies, a boy of twelve or thirteen would become the backbone of the city not because of his individual strength but because of his so-called wisdom?

But this incredible thing has become a fact.

"If you don't want me to go, then just don't show trust in the first place."

"But since you trust me, how about trusting me again now?"

"I don't want you to get hurt, but what I least want to see is that if you get hurt enough times, you will blindly believe that everything that exists is equal to correctness."

Before, those green eyes couldn't see anything.

But now, Egbert can see his complete self in it.

The boiling blood made him say without hesitation: "I once said that if someone wants you to die, the premise must be that I have already died completely."

Lan Zhe also raised his eyebrows, with a wanton smile on his lips: "No matter how dangerous Licheng is, how dangerous can it be? I am the Son of Darkness. If all of Suli's predictions are the same as reality, then rather than saying that the so-called Dark Saint used the people of the Dark Church, it is better to say that those guys have already prepared for a head-on confrontation with the Light Church."

Du Ya reached out and touched Suli's head, whose hair color seemed a bit extreme compared to his own.

Crow's voice was always low and hoarse: "If the changed world is what you want, then I am also longing for it."

Unlike Ophelia who really wanted to kill Sully who brought her a sense of danger and pressure, Raven once had the idea of ​​killing Sully, not because he was a human, but because he was a monster. At that time, this idea existed only because Sully saw a world that he could not see.

Seeing an incredible new world in a human being is no miracle for a monster.

This is the abyss.

But Crow still wants to do this.

A boy who combs his own feathers, a boy who is a little disappointed because the world is different from what he imagined but he dares not change it, a boy who vomits because he dies for others, a boy who sits at the same negotiating table with someone who is much stronger than him, but can suppress the other party with his own aura...

There are more and more things related to Suli in my memory.

He had been maintaining his crow appearance and was reluctant to express his true feelings. After all, he was still a monster, and unlike Cyril, he had some monster blood.

He is a real monster that sees humans as enemies and is also hostile to humans.

But not long ago, when he transformed into a human form, the smile on the corner of the boy's mouth, who pretended to cover his face but actually revealed his pupils through his fingers, suddenly made Du Ya realize that the only people who would care about the difference between monsters and humans are other people.

If Sully ever minds his existence, it will not be because he is a monster, but because he has done something that Sully is unwilling to forgive.

What is a monster?

After gaining self-awareness, this person will strongly demarcate his or her own territory and will never allow others to enter his or her world easily.

But now, it was not he who opened the door to his own world, but Sully who accepted him as a human being.

Pure black feathers appeared on the palm of the crow. He grabbed Sully's wrist with one hand, and after Sully opened his palm, he pressed it into his palm without giving Sully any chance to refuse.

The crow said, "This is the feather on my neck. It is the softest hair on my body. It can let the monster that originally would not attack you because of Nan's last work understand——"

"You are the child I protect."

This is the greatest blessing that Du Ya can offer, besides his own personal protection.

Then, Euphia and Roy narrowed their eyes together.

"As far as protecting Suli is concerned, the Alliance will not give up."

Roy said sarcastically, "Mr. Crow, where do you think your bodyguards are? Forget about Egbert, but you want to protect Sully?"

“Go line up first!”

Cyril was very cooperative and took the initiative to come forward and said, "Then I will start queuing now. No matter who comes after me, they will line up behind me before I fully grow in strength, right?"

Egbert said confidently: "I don't think anyone can surpass my love for Lord Sully. In terms of protecting him, I can dedicate everything at any time, not only my body, but also my soul. I am willing to be a stone under Lord Sully's feet."

Euphia choked him on the spot, and with her eyes blazing, she said in a loud voice: "What are you saying that will pollute the ears of children? Get down from here!"
