Su Mingan looked down at Elras below: "I need to protect Jiaerde, that's all. It seems that you, the leader of the soul hunters, are unwilling to let him go, so I can only rebel."
For Su Mingan, the Soul Hunting Camp simply makes it more convenient to kill the Soul Clan.
If he is prevented from completing the S-level mission, then it is not a bad idea to change camp.
"Stop the fire on Xie Lude." Su Ming'an said.
Elras laughed miserably, opened his palms, and the flames on Shelude's body disappeared in an instant.
The screaming stopped and Sheldon fell to the ground, unconscious.
Su Mingan looked around.
An empty church, an unconscious Soul Hunter, and the helpless Soul Hunter leader Elras.
No one except Sherud knew why Elras died.
He was about to give the order to kill the other party, but Sevilla spoke up:
"Father, Elras cannot die for the time being."
"Why?" Su Mingan turned his head.
"In Praia, there is a secret that only those of us in the ruling class know. That is... the 'equality' principle I told you about before." Sevilla said, "It's strange. Over the past few decades, whenever a major crisis occurs in either the Soul Clan or the Soul Hunters, the other side will also inexplicably face a crisis. In other words, once one side suffers a loss, it will soon make up for it... This has led to a stalemate between the two sides, with neither of us being able to do anything about the other."
“…”
"So, once you kill Elras, a stronger new leader may soon appear on the Soul Hunter side." Sevilla said, "So, I think it's better to keep Elras alive than to let him die. In order to avoid something that we can't control."
Listening to his words, Su Mingan fell into thought.
He was not hesitating about whether to kill Elras, but the principle of "equality" mentioned by Sevilla reminded him of a very strange thing.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized something.
"Also, father, I must remind you of one thing." Sevilla glanced at the old lady next to him: "This human woman is a failed product of the human body experiment of the Cloud Church. If you want to protect her, it is tantamount to challenging the dignity of the Cloud Church, and you may face the wrath of God..."
"That god can come to Praya?" Su Ming'an asked.
"Not yet." Sevilla said, "But I heard that the Pope has a magic to communicate with the gods. And if your final choice is to go to Yunshang City, you must not offend that god..."
Su Mingan also thought of this.
He frowned, lost in thought.
But at this moment, an old voice came slowly:
"…Forget it, young man."
Su Mingan tilted his head.
On the side, a white-haired old lady was looking at him.
"You don't have to do this for me." She said softly, "Although I don't know why you can command the leader of the Soul Clan, you are a good young man. I have seen that you should have a bright future. Why do you have to give up everything your grandfather has run for an old guy like me?"
"Su Lin doesn't care about these reputations." Su Mingan said.
The old lady grinned.
Her teeth were neat and white, not at all like an old person whose teeth were about to fall out.
This reminded Su Mingan of the first time he met her.
At that time, when she smiled, she showed a row of neat teeth, like a middle-aged person.
...Perhaps from that time on, there were already signs that she was not an ordinary human being.
She smiled, walked to his side with trembling steps, and held his hand.
"Maybe your grandfather doesn't care." She said, "But what about Xie Lude? He is an excellent knight of light. What did he do wrong?"
Su Mingan understood this.
If Elras died here, then Shelud, who was with him, would definitely arouse suspicion.
"Xie Lude... I watched him grow up, and he's a good kid." As she spoke, she placed her skinny hand, with veins crawling like earthworms, on Su Mingan's hand.
Under the dazzling golden light, the old man looked thin and haggard.
Her voice was still kind and gentle, like the gurgling of a stream, and it seemed that it had not changed from beginning to end:
"Since he was little, Luther has always said that he wanted to become a church knight.
"I watched him train, watched him study, watched him get up early in the morning to run and swim, watched him grow taller... He has no parents, the church is his home, he has been proud to be a knight all his life, and regards honor as his life...
If it weren't for what happened tonight, he should have accepted the honor selection of the Royal City after the feast at sea, and even been promoted to the Royal City Honorary Knight... This was his lifelong goal.
He made a mistake this evening, and I made a mistake with him. Now, for the sake of your future, I can’t make another mistake…”
…
"What's wrong with fighting for your own survival?" Su Mingan responded to her.
The old lady frowned.
She smiled with relief, as if she had seen an extremely outstanding child.
"But there's no need for that, child," she said. "You don't have to waste your future for someone whose life is coming to an end."
...life is coming to an end?
Su Ming settled down for a moment.
Then he looked at Elras on the ground.
"Su Lin." Elras looked at him calmly: "Why do you think we use the word 'recycling' to her?"
……Recycle.
