Slay the Dragon (2)

Inger first lifted the curtain to see if there was anyone outside, then came back and set up a soundproof barrier.

"You came just in time. I was just thinking about how to contact you." Inger hesitated and asked, "Are all your people okay?"

Fei Leng placed his helmet on the table, sat down, and said with a slow smile, "There is no conflict between our two sides. I know that you have begun to change your strategy recently, so I took my team to retreat to the rear."

He smiled and pretended to be wronged: "Why do you always think that I will cheat you? After all, I have helped you several times."

If it was his original face, he would look pitiful with this expression, but now it only smells like sour tea?

Inger said expressionlessly, "You are wrong. I am just worried about you. I said I would protect you."

"Oh~" Fei Leng stared at him with a half-smile. He said, "I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been?"

Inger didn't explain much: "Because I was injured last time, I took a while to recuperate."

Fei Leng: "Let's just leave it at that." He paused, "Why did you guys suddenly start?"

Inger thought about it for a while and decided to tell the truth: "We got a Purifier, a half-blood demon."

Fei Leng's eyes flashed with a strange light. He touched his chin and smiled, "So that's how it is. I was wondering where you got the courage from?"

He then asked: "Do you already know that he is a mixed race, or are you pretending to be a human?"

As soon as this question came up, Inger confirmed his guess.

Inger observed the details of his face and said, "The senior generals basically know his true ancestry, and no one dislikes or discriminates against him."

"Oh~" Fei Leng's voice rose at the end, with a hint of sarcasm in it, "It's really rare."

He sneered again: "This is also the case when he has an absolutely irreplaceable utilization value, and he is still a baby who has not been 'contaminated' in any way."

Inger knew that he also had memories of his previous life, and he could guess what Fei Leng saw before his death.

During the preparations before the war, as he kept exchanging bodies with Fei Leng, he gradually figured out what this man's goal was.

Although he was still wary, he was now more inclined to trust his help.

Their goal of eliminating the demons is the same, and this has never changed.

Inger sat down opposite him and poured him a glass of water. "You helped me once before, and I haven't thanked you yet." He pushed the glass over.

Fei Leng took it and drank it, smiling slightly: "Help each other, you are my only ally."

Fei Leng went straight to the point: "Since you have such a good trump card, you should use it well. I originally discovered the human's actions and thought I could work with you from the inside and outside, so I came to find you. In fact, I came several times before, but I couldn't find you, and I couldn't possess you directly."

Inger had the same problem, but he had already thought of a solution. He took out the finished nameplate and handed it to him. Compared with ordinary nameplates, it had an additional shallow recessed groove.

"This is a magic tool that allows voice communication. You can't use magic power, but you can get magic stones, right? Just press the magic stone into this groove. If you don't have this, I can lend you a few first." Inger explained carefully.

Fei Leng held the nameplate in his palm, and his thumb touched the uneven marks on the small piece of film. He couldn't help but curl his lips: "By the way, did you forget something? This body is not my body."

Inger: “…………”

Fei Leng: "Hahahaha, I'm just kidding. I have plenty of ways to get this thing."

Inger let out a sigh. It was always nerve-wracking to talk to this guy.

Fei Leng shook the nameplate and said, "But I'm still very happy. This is the first time someone has given me a gift."

Inger: "Does your father have a sister?"

Fei Leng shrugged: "They don't have the concept of giving gifts. For the people there, surviving is everything they want."

Inger choked.

Although he knew that Fei Leng said this deliberately to arouse his pity and sympathy, he still felt emotional.

Fei looked at him with a sneer, "Inger, you are not still thinking that I can persuade a few kings to stand on your side, right?"

Inger bit his lower lip.

Fei Leng: "This is impossible. All pure bloods are conceived by the 'Mother' herself. They are controlled by instinct. As long as the 'Mother' exists, they will never betray her."

"Well, if you can bypass these kings and kill 'mother', then just ignore what I said." Fei sneered.

"So how do you handle their possession?"

Fei Leng spoke the truth: "I have discussed this topic with you before. Unless I can kill them with one strike, possessing a demon king is extremely risky. Their connection with 'Mother' is the closest. Unless they are asleep or unconscious, I will not try to possess them. Even if I possess them, I am not very sure that I can kill them. The body structure of each demon king is different. Only they themselves know their weaknesses."

Inger: "Don't worry about that. Although it cost a lot, humans have killed them before. They are not invincible."

Fei Leng: "Haha, really reliable."

Inger suddenly thought of comics. Well, maybe it’s not the right time to call it comics now. It’s probably because the last history did not indicate why Fei Leng died, and there was no need to sympathize with Fei Leng’s feelings, so he asked directly.

Fei Leng: "Hmm? As expected, you know the future of the past. Didn't I tell you? I was eaten by 'Mother'."

Fei Leng spread his hands, as if he was telling someone something: "If you know my past, you should also know that although I killed a lot of humans at that time, in the end, I also secretly helped humans kill pure-bloods. Otherwise, do you think that relying on just a few human knights, you can kill such a large number of Saint Army and Saint King? Most of the weaknesses you so-called discovered were revealed by me."

Inger really doesn't know this.

Because this line of Florence is not the main line, the main line revolves around human beings, and the goddess did not include this period of history in it.

But he pretended that he already knew it and nodded.

Fei Leng continued, "At that time, in order to kill the king, I possessed my consciousness many times. I thought that because I was far away, 'Mother' would not find out, but when I returned to our continent, 'Mother' ate me. I remember that my consciousness could fight her, but I couldn't beat her in the end, so I died. This is why I am so cautious this time."

"But there is one interesting thing. I have retained a remnant of consciousness in the body of 'Mother'. 'Mother's' consciousness is like a huge aggregate, with all kinds of messy things, languages ​​of various creatures that I cannot understand, frequency fluctuations, it is really very chaotic, but all consciousness has two common desires."

"What?"

"Hungry, dead."

Inger's pupils trembled.

Fei Leng: "Well, it's very complicated. It's hard for me to express this feeling accurately in words, but after I went back to the past, I had time to slowly recall that memory. What I can be sure of is that before I died, my residual consciousness stayed in my mother's body for a period of time when humans thought they had killed my mother completely."

"In fact, the mother just ran away. It will probably take a few years for her to reoccupy the continent. And her seeds were brought back to the western continent by the ship. It can be predicted that in that case, human civilization will be completely destroyed."

Fei Leng finished her story and looked at Inger, whose expression changed several times: "Actually, I am very curious about why I can go back to the past and retain my memory. My intuition tells me that you know the answer. I just told you so much, I have to get some rewards from you, this is a fair trade, don’t you think?"

Inger opened his mouth and said, "It was the goddess who turned back time to save humanity."

He only told part of the truth.

Fei sneered and asked, "Oh? If so, why do I retain my memories? Why do you know everything about the past? You were not on the battlefields I know of in the past."

Inger: “…”

Fei Leng could see that he had no intention of saying anything, so she didn't force him. She changed the subject and said casually, "Oh, by the way, Goddess, it was the one who built the invisible wall to protect most of the humans in the Western Continent, abandoning the few native races in the Eastern Continent who didn't have time to escape, right?"

Listening to his cold words, Inger felt a chill run down his spine.

Fei Leng: "You have a goddess to save you, but we are the ones who are truly abandoned by the goddess. The East Continent is the land truly abandoned by the gods."

Now, there are only humans on that continent, who survive as slaves, living a life worse than death. No one knows that there were once dragons, giants, elves, dwarves... countless races living on this prosperous land.

The Wall of Isolation protected the races of the Western Continent, while at the same time isolating the creatures that survived but failed to cross the sea and reach the shore into despair, and this lasted for hundreds of years.

There was deep resentment hidden in Fei's cold tone.

[But it doesn't matter. If the goddess doesn't come to save us, we don't care. We will find a way to save ourselves.]

This has been Fei Leng's goal from the beginning to the end.

Inger was silent for a while and said, "Feileng, although you may not believe what I said now, I still want to say that humans are a very tolerant race. If they can accept a mixed-race child, they can accept another one. It may take time, but times are always changing and progressing."

Fei Leng said slowly: "During my study in the Western Continent, I saw too much. Even in the large human population, there are different levels, and even different treatments based on skin color and gender. It's the same over there, we will fight to the death for a little food. It's better not to believe those beautiful words. I only know that if we want something, we must fight and grab it. This is just for survival."

"I actually find it funny that you humans regard the war between humans and the so-called demons as a just fight against aggression. But where did your country's original land come from? You fought with other humans to seize it."

"You would never think that two lions fighting for territory is aggression and counter-aggression. But you would think that the invasion of the demons is evil. You would never think that keeping chickens and ducks in captivity is a sin. But you would think that keeping humans in captivity is a sin. In fact, the positions of hunters and prey will be exchanged. There is only a difference in stance, not absolute evil and justice. The strong live, and the weak die. It has always been like this."

"I hate purebloods. Kill the purebloods and I can live a good life with halfbloods in the same situation as me. It's that simple."

Inger looked at this half-blood demon king who believed in the laws of the jungle.

He knew that he could not persuade Fei Leng anymore. He grew up in such an environment, and even if he absorbed the corresponding knowledge of humans, his nature would not change much.

Inger can only try to understand his thoughts as much as possible, and then develop a strategy to make the best choice that will not be unpleasant.

No one knows what the final outcome of such cooperation will be.

At least they now have the same goal.

After Fei Leng finished telling the truth, she chatted with him for a while.

"There is one more thing I want to remind you of." Fei Leng said before leaving: "Before you are fully prepared, it is best not to try to purify the pure blood of living beings and the branch vines of 'Mother'."

"Why?"

"She will flee. Once she knows there is something that can purify her essence, she will immediately flee without a trace. It will be difficult for you to find her then. Then, she will kill the purifier at all costs."
