Chapter 0218 The Key to All This



Sealed off?!

Seeing the sudden golden light, the Red World disciple and Nanoka were both surprised. But before they could react, the ground in front of Nanoka suddenly cracked, and then several vines suddenly emerged, like a python, tightly wrapped around the Red World disciple who had already pounced in front of Nanoka.

"This is... Tilia?"

“Really.”

As the voices were spoken, Tilia came over from behind Nanoka holding an umbrella.

"I thought you were in some trouble, but it turned out to be just a small fry like this... Can't you even handle something like this?"

“Woo…”

Hearing Tilia's words, Nanoka lowered her head in depression. If it was before, she would definitely refute it. But now, she couldn't say a word. Tilia was really right.

Even among the Crimson World, there are classes. At the top of the Crimson World are the three most powerful Crimson World Demon Gods. Alastor, the God of Punishment who has a contract with Shana, is one of them. Following closely behind are the followers of these three gods, such as the three pillars of the rumored "Masquerade", who are followers of the God of Creation.

The next level is the powerful King of the Red World, of which Fariagni and now Tilia both belong to this class. While traveling with Fang Zheng, Tilia also absorbed a lot of the power of existence from the "Lost Child of Zero Hour". Now her power is not much lower than that of the "Hunter" Fariagni.

At the lowest end of the pyramid are the true "disciples" of the Red World. Their strength is not strong. Of course, it is still better than that of humans, but compared with other fire mist warriors and beings at the level of the Red World King, they are completely incomparable.

If we use human class classification, then the Three Demons are the real gods, and their followers are the kings who dominate a continent. The King of the Red World is an independent lord in the country, and the Cult of the Red World are the civilians in the territory.

Sonia, who had signed a contract with Nanoka, and Tilia, who was beside Fang Zheng, were both at the level of the Red King, and were almost above average. Strictly speaking, they only needed one finger to crush such a small "disciple", but...

"You've had a hard time, having to deal with such a useless contractor. In comparison, although that little girl Shana is annoying, she will never show mercy when it comes to fighting."

"No, don't say bad things about Nanoka."

Facing Tilia's ridicule, Sonia weakly retorted.

"Nanoka works very hard, she just... lacks experience..."

"But isn't it your responsibility as a contractor to teach her? I really don't know what kind of mood you had when you signed the contract with her."

The two seemed to completely ignore the unfortunate guy who was tied up, and just talked to themselves. Or maybe it was just Tilia's lecture to Nanoka and Sonia. As a member of the Red World, it was no wonder that Tilia enjoyed it so much to have the opportunity to teach her enemies the same lesson as her grandson.

"Okay, stop arguing. Experience is something that needs to be cultivated slowly."

As the voices were speaking, Fang Zheng also came over and gently patted Tilia's little head. Then he looked at the Red World in front of him and frowned slightly.

"He ate people?"

"Yes, Mr. Founder!"

Hearing this, Nanoka, who had been silent all the time, quickly responded.

"I, I just met him eating people here...he..."

"Okay, I got it."

After listening to Nanoka's story, Fang Zheng nodded, then slowly walked to the bound Red World disciple, then he reached out and took out a notebook from his arms.

"Well... Mr. Red World Disciple, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"

"question……"

Looking at the man who appeared in front of him, this unfortunate Red World was completely at a loss. If he could accept Nanoka's appearance at the beginning, then everything that happened later made this Red World completely incomprehensible.

Generally speaking, the Crimson World disciples almost all do their own thing, and rarely hurt each other. And the Crimson World disciples and the Fire Mist Warriors are constantly fighting. But what's going on with these people in front of me? Humans, Crimson World disciples, and Fire Mist Warriors, these three beings who should belong to different races are standing together so harmoniously. Not only did the Crimson World disciple dare to criticize the Fire Mist Warrior in person, but the other party could only listen. But more importantly, from their performance, the human in front of me seems to be the most core member?

Wait! Humans... Crimson World... Come to think of it, there are indeed rumors like this recently...

"You, you are the 'Rangers'?!"

Thinking of this, the Red World disciple suddenly turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat. Upon hearing his question, Fang Zheng frowned.

"…If I find out who gave us this nickname, I promise I will beat him to death."

To be honest, when Fang Zheng first heard the nickname for himself and Tilia, he was speechless. This nickname was really too ugly. He didn't want a name as long as "The Blazing-Haired Slayer", but at least you have to be cooler, right? What the hell is "Ranger"? I'm not playing in the Championship... Never mind, it's better than "The Black and White Devils" or "The Condor Heroes".

"Then please answer a few questions for me."

Fang Zheng casually opened his notebook and picked up a pen.

"I would like to ask, what do you think of humans?"

"this……"

Faced with Fang Zheng's question, the Red World man didn't know how to answer for a moment, but Fang Zheng seemed to have noticed something. He just glanced at him and nodded.

"Okay, you don't have to say anything, I already got the answer. So, what do you think of the Fire Mist Warrior?"

"Those guys are just a bunch of tools!"

As soon as the Fire Mist Warrior was mentioned, the Red World followers in front of them immediately started complaining non-stop.

"They are nothing more than the blades of betrayal created by our compatriots, wielded against their own people! I have nothing to say about these enemies!"

"What? It was obviously you who disturbed the balance of the world first. If that were not the case, we would not have resorted to such means!"

Hearing this, Sonia suddenly became anxious.

"But, this is the business of this world, what does it have to do with you? We came to the New World to explore and appreciate it, but you are just hiding in the Red World, using this cowardly and despicable method to hinder our actions..."

"That's because we are just cleaning up your mess. Why do you have to do whatever you want in the new world?"

"We didn't ask you to do this! After all, what does it have to do with you what the human beings in this world will become?!"

The bound Red World man and Sonia started arguing with each other, while Fang Zheng took out a notebook and began to record their conversation.

"What are you doing, Mr. Founder?"

Looking at Fang Zheng who was taking notes seriously, Nanoka couldn't help but lean over curiously, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm studying the relationship between the Red World's followers and humans... Well, now it seems that this is indeed the case. I have almost figured out what these Red World's followers are thinking."

"idea?"

Hearing this, Nanoka became more interested.

"What do you think?"

"Have you ever seen a science fiction movie? We just need to change our way of thinking. For example, we humans have learned interstellar travel, and then we discovered a new planet with life. There are countless minerals and wealth there, and at the same time, that planet also has its own civilized population, but their level of civilization is lower than that of the Earth, and because of this, the two sides cannot get along equally. In order to obtain the resources of that planet, the fleet sent by the Earth began to mine the minerals and destroy the forests. This made it impossible for the local indigenous people to continue their lives, and they began to fight back with spears and bows and arrows, but facing the high technology of the Earth, these primitive weapons naturally did not play any role."

Having said that, Fang Zheng paused for a moment, then looked at Nanoka in front of him and smiled slightly.

"Then, these things were reported back to Earth, causing opposition from another group of people. They believed that the local indigenous people also had their own human rights, and the Earthlings must respect them. So these people began to protest and even went to that planet to teach the indigenous people how to use Earth's high-tech weapons to deal with the villains who were mining. And this is our current situation."

"you mean……"

Nanoka's eyes widened in surprise and she looked at Fang Zheng in disbelief, while Fang Zheng nodded.

"Yes, in this story, the people from Earth who came to mine the minerals were the Crimson World, and the ones who stopped them were the Fire Mist Warriors, and we..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng pointed at himself and Nanoka.

"…the natives of that planet. So now, what do you think?"

“This, I…”

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Nanoka didn't know what to say for a moment. The example Fang Zheng gave was too easy to understand, and it made her feel unreal. All along, the education she received from the outside world was about the damage caused by the Red World to the world, and how to maintain balance, etc. But these confessions were too high-sounding, so that Nanoka didn't feel real at all. Instead, the example Fang Zheng gave made her instantly understand the problem of all this.

"Then, Mr. Fang Zheng, what do you think?"

"I?"

Hearing Nanoka's question, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"I am human."

Having said that, Fang Zheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Tilia, do it."

“Puff!”

Before Fang Zheng finished speaking, Tilia, who had been standing quietly beside him, suddenly raised her umbrella and mercilessly pierced through the body of the Red World man who was arguing nonstop. The next moment, the vines wrapped around the Red World man spun like sharp blades, tearing him into pieces.

In just a blink of an eye, the Red World was expelled from this world, and its remaining power of existence was completely absorbed by the umbrella in Tilia's hand and disappeared without a trace.

Because this scene happened too suddenly, even Sonia was unable to react for a while, let alone Nanoka.

“There’s an old saying in my hometown.”

Fang Zheng retracted his gaze and looked forward - at this moment, the golden seal began to gradually lift.

"When friends come, there's good wine; when enemies come, there's a shotgun... You see, it's that simple, isn't it?"
