Chapter 8 Good and Evil (Cold, transition the plot)
After hearing the sound, Su Zhou opened his eyes slightly.
He turned his head and looked behind him, and noticed the silver-haired girl floating at the entrance of the passage.
"I'm awake."
He said this casually, then turned around again, facing Yelena and Master Suiguang who showed surprise.
Su Zhou did not pay attention to the girl who was supposed to be the target of the entire ruins exploration team. As if the other party did not exist, he continued to say to the two: "Do you really not plan to surrender? You can see that I don't plan to kill you, but just want to ask your background, your real purpose, and what the big guy behind it is thinking."
"Ha." He stared at the silver-haired girl behind her, Yelena's attitude was very uncooperative.
[Not to tell.] Although Master Suiguang's tone is gentle and polite, the content is the same.
Su Zhou could only shake his head for this uncooperating attitude.
The Third Asmodai Army behind Yelena and Hard represents the Imperial Army. The General Akharonov she mentioned should be the leader of this army.
In Professor Svetre's memory, he often heard this name, and should be one of the main senior leaders of the Imperial Military.
The Asmodai Empire had a total of twenty-eight armies, and the number of them was not large. Most of them colluded with local nobles. They were even the local emperors. There were only nine armies directly under the command of the imperial royal family. The Third Army was the most powerful one.
Although there are not many, the army directly under the royal family is far superior to other troops in terms of source of troops and equipment. If it were not for the frequent natural disasters and the various legacy caused by the chaos and division of the previous generation of the empire, these troops would be enough to rule the entire empire.
Yelena obviously followed the military's orders and secretly explored Chu Yao's ruins. The military had a general idea of what was in the ruins. At least they knew that they could find iron coffins in the stagnant field and the "ancestors" in the coffin.
As for the Zhuguang Cultivation Group to which Master Suiguang belongs, Su Zhou is more familiar with it. His predecessor studied abroad in the academy of the sect. At least forty years ago, the Zhuguang Cultivation Group was a moderate and progressive organization, and it was his responsibility to develop technology and benefit the people of the entire Aion world.
Most of the alchemists in the world have the background of the Light-Traveling Cult. They never hide their knowledge, but alchemy is really difficult to learn, which is approximately the complex of various high-end disciplines such as high-magnesium plus chemistry plus fluid dynamics plus physics.
Without professional guidance from teachers and textbooks, it is difficult for ordinary people to learn by themselves, so in extraordinary professions, there are not as many alchemists as there are spellcasters.
Now, Su Zhou didn't know whether the Zhuguang Cult has retained its original intention, but even if the other party wanted to kill him, he could not deny that Master Suiguang had no choice but to take action with the ideal of "benefiting mankind".
These two people represent the imperial royal family and the military respectively; one side represents the most independent and extraordinary forces in the entire world.
If these two people could speak, he would clearly grasp the general situation in the entire Aion world.
Unfortunately, it looks a bit difficult.
"Svetrekin Basin has been washing his hands for too long. In recent years, he has been focusing on building orphanages and has not even paid attention to the situation in the world."
Shaking his head slightly, Su Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Although Yelena and Sui Guang are very ridiculous, they are indeed my ports to understand this world."
Thinking of this, he made a decision in his heart.
"Don't you really plan to cooperate?"
Moving forward again, Su Zhou stood indifferently in front of the two people who had lost their ability to resist.
The big shield in his hand was heavy, and his steps were like a chariot. No one would think that this man would not be dangerous without a sharp blade. His existence itself was like a war hammer of divine punishment. The horn of the siege was the most dangerous weapon.
Yelena couldn't figure out why the professor who was originally extremely weak, as if he was powerless, actually became what he is now. She was indeed ready to hide his strength, but the image in her mind was a powerful alchemist, a scholar who controlled source energy and magical weapons!
But now? It's like a human-shaped dragon!
Faced with Su Zhou's faint threat, the female knight still had no intention of compromise.
Even, she lying on the ground, smiled mockingly.
"Ha, you, a tough person, I am not like you, who ignore the safety of children in the orphanage and act recklessly with your own will."
"Do you think I will be afraid of death? If I fail the mission, if I live, it will be the biggest disaster for the people around me."
"No matter how much you torture me, it doesn't make sense. Just kill me quickly."
"So that's it." He was not angry because of Yelena's provocation. Su Zhou just nodded calmly and said thoughtfully: "I probably understand what you mean... Indeed, you can't live, and this is not a good thing for the people around you."
"I offended you so much, I'll give you a ride."
After saying that, Su Zhou did not hesitate. He raised his hand directly, and the lower edge of the shield was cut off like a guillotine.
"Dean!"
Seeing this scene, Luo Ya, who had been hiding beside him, couldn't help but speak subconsciously - he was quite confused when he was fighting before, and he couldn't understand why Aunt Yelena, who had been pretty good to them, suddenly started fighting with the dean.
He also had no idea how things got to where they were now.
"Loya, stop." And Gasha grabbed Loya from the side.
Although he couldn't see the situation clearly, he could vaguely feel that the professor's move was not to "punish" Aunt Yelena's discouple, but to "success" the other party.
"It's all good kids, aren't it?"
Hearing Luo Ya's voice, Su Zhou also stopped and he whispered: "You are not as bad as you look on the surface. At least I have seen you several times trying to keep the children away from the center of danger."
Perhaps, in the perfect deduction, in the world line where Professor Svedre died and Su Zhou was not possessed, it was Yelena's indulgence that allowed the two children to escape from Chuyao's ruins.
At this moment, the female knight with a stubborn face was also a little shaken.
According to the military information, Professor Svetrei dared to use blasphemy agents to turn half of the people in the moving city-state into plague puppets. The reason why he opened an orphanage after his escape was just to use this character to conceal his identity.
After all, who would have thought that a cold-blooded butcher who dared to kill hundreds of thousands of people would become a loving poor professor?
But during the more than ten days of exploring the remains, she vaguely realized that these children, who were about the same age as her daughter, were sincerely respecting each other, and the temperament shown by Professor Svedre was not the same as the death samurai who was ranked at the top of the wanted list.
——But what is the point? If I fail the mission, if I don’t die and be regarded as a traitor, my daughter’s fate will probably be even more miserable than death…
"Don't let the kids see it, professor."
Sighing, she said, "They shouldn't see this at this age."
"You underestimate them, Yelena."
Su Zhou replied: "They are orphans who crawl out of famine and corpses, not flowers in greenhouses. And in this world, they must see every step clearly, not escape."
The shield fell, blood splattered, and the head rolled to one side.
Su Zhou wiped the blood on the shield and looked at Sui Guang beside him: "Master, do you want to be so stubborn, too?"
And the robotic figure who was watching all this said calmly: [The manufacturing technology of the Light-Zhunting Cult has fully mastered it, and the "Shunting" is not afraid of death.]
[Don't have psychological burden. Professor Svedre, you are indeed a good person. I want to apologize for wanting to kill you before.]
"Why do you have to do it?"
Sighing, Su Zhou raised his hand, and an electric arc flashed in his palm.
Without hesitation, the man pressed one hand on Master Suiguang's head, who was almost without energy, then withdrew his hand and turned around and walked towards Gasha and Luoya as the soul light of the other party's eyes went out.
"Your shield."
He returned the shield to Gasha, rubbed the other party's head, and Su Zhou turned his head and looked at Luoya, who was still confused.
"What, can't you understand?"
He leaned down and asked softly.
"No...I understand very much." He raised his head and looked at Su Zhou, and Luo Ya shook his head vigorously: "They all want to kill the dean, so of course the dean can kill them."
"only……"
The boy looked over and he looked at the body of the female knight.
Luo Ya's tone was confused and confused: "Aunt Yelena... and Master Suiguang."
