Chapter 21 The Falling Star (4800., small chapter)(1/2)

"Yes, your Majesty."

Knight Iloviz and General Akharonov bowed together and retreated together, then left the Tower of Babel under the emperor's instructions.

The two walked slowly down the tower and remained silent. The knight's face looked sad, while the old man's eyes were deep.

The strong wind blew on the tower. If it were an ordinary high tower, it would have begun to sway, but the Tower of Babel was extremely strong, as if it was rooted in the earth without any tremor.

The two came to the bottom of the tower.

Below the Tower of Babel is an extremely flat rock plain that has been sorted out. Teams of laborers dressed in simple clothes and tools are working here. Most of them are demonized people. Under the supervision of professional supervisors, they continue to level the surface with shackles and tiredly, dig ditches, bury huge rune array parts, and open up space underground.

That was the prototype of the source energy factory, part of the structure of a giant industrial facility. It can be seen that the empire was going to build an unimaginable artificial structure with the Tower of Babel as the center.

Its surface structure will cover most of the hilly areas, and the center of the Montasini Mountains will be occupied, becoming a prosperous fixed industrial city.

And the depth will penetrate deep into the ground and dig out a giant hole that looks like an underground mountain range.

Because they are all demonized people, most of them have some magical abilities, the speed of these labor is not slow, or even very fast; and professional supervisors from the military will also supervise these hard labor at any time, using various spiritual spells and physical punishments as deterrences, allowing them to exert 120% of their enthusiasm.

If you are mentally unstable, brainwash your labor. If you are mentally firm, you will be punished. If you are so stubborn that your brainwashing and punishment are useless, and if you are not careful in your labor, you will be killed.

Iloviz witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

Several demonized people who were too tired and unable to work were taken away by the guards just because they refuted the urging of several supervisors and were taken away by the guards and 'buried' into a pit not far away.

And there are thousands of corpses piled up in the pit.

In fact, it's not just that.

The gray-haired knight's golden eyes reflected the light and shadow of the souls when they left their bodies. They were freed from the suffering of the world. These souls, which were filthy due to demonization, should have slowly purified themselves between heaven and earth, and then returned to the earth.

However, because of a mysterious guide, all the souls of demonized people who were executed were like moths to the fire, galloping towards the huge black tower behind them.

Then, it was infiltrated.

"...What exactly does Your Majesty want to do?"

Staring at a wisp of soul sinking into the tower, Iloviz took a deep breath, his tone of unbearableness: "Even if they are prisoners, criminals, and rebel thugs... but even the soul after death..."

As he said this, but he didn't finish it, he sighed deeply.

"Why."

The white-haired general who was slightly shorter than him, but still tall, took out a pipe from his arms, rubbed his thumb and middle finger, and lit the tobacco. After taking a deep breath, Akharolov said calmly: "After all, it is a necessary sacrifice... Inhumanity is indeed inhumanity, but there is nothing we can do about it."

"Don't worry, I know that such things are against your morality, so your Majesty and I have never asked you to do these things. Iloviz, please be your first knight and leave everything else to us."

He reached out and patted the gray-haired man on the shoulder. After the old general smiled, he also raised his head and stared at the scenes in front of him.

Guided by supervisors and source energy skills, the demonized people work very quickly. After all, to a certain extent, they are all the most basic extraordinary people, and their endurance and absolute abilities exceed those of mortals.

In this world, there are no tens of thousands of knights who can be used as hard laborers and basic laborers; but it is still easy to find tens of thousands of demonized people with suitable abilities.

Even though the power of these demonized people is sometimes not as good as that of ordinary people after exercise, it is indeed more convenient than the body.

Seeing these spurred and brainwashed demonized people working day and night, Akharolov's eyes were filled with unbearableness and pleasure.

He just stared at all this calmly, and then slowly said to himself: "Catching the excess demonized person for forced labor is a necessary law to maintain social stability... You and I have seen the threat of demonized persons. An ordinary woman whose demonization disease has deteriorated to the final stage can burst out and expel the power of five fully armed soldiers and massacre half a block."

"They are born with unstable elements, unless the strong men in the divine artistic realm or even the great professionals in the disaster realm personally suppress them - but there are billions of demonized people in this world, so how can there be so many strong men to protect them?"

Speaking of this, the admiral of the Third Army of the Empire became colder: "A truly excellent demonized person has long become a professional and can suppress his illness - there are many officers in my army that are like this."

"And the ordinary demonized people, the Empire has also arranged for the outer city area to live for them. If it really doesn't work, there are special demonized people villages. It's always OK to survive."

"Only those demonized people who are poor and lazy, who do not know how to fight hard, those who only know how to blame others and take revenge on society will become criminals and be escorted here by us - they deserve it."

"No one deserves it." Iloviz said in a deep voice, but he knew that this question could not be answered, so he just sighed: "Forget it, your Majesty and you, there are always millions of reasons. I cannot convince you, nor do I know what is right."

"The demonized people are indeed a potential threat... but they were originally innocent people and the people of the empire."

"So it's just labor, not just execution."

Akharonov said, he and Iloviz walked forward, and said lightly: "And, I care more about His Majesty's current strength than a small matter like the Demonizer."

"Have you seen His Majesty's face? He is much younger again. Who would have thought that His Majesty is older than you and me? Since forty-five years ago, when he obtained the Chu Yao Sheng Rock located in the ruins of Montasini, His Majesty has walked out his own path and power... comparable to the power of ancient gods."

The general raised his head, turned around and looked at the towering towering tower. The old man's voice sighed: "Look—such a magnificent tower is like touching the Holy Day... Such a giant tower, if it weren't for His Majesty, would have been shattered by natural disasters when it was halfway up."

"But under the power of His Majesty, there is nothing natural disasters can do... Iloviz."

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at the knight beside him.

Akharonov said seriously: "Your Majesty can be the sun that shines on all living beings. Compared with the darkness that is almost the end in the future, it is enough to destroy the empire and the dead end of the continent. These small evils are necessary now."

"……I know."

The gray-haired Knight naturally knew what the other party meant, so he just sighed a long time and stopped talking.

And just then.

The holy sun in heaven suddenly faded for a moment.

It was like a bulb with poor sensing or a boiler that was not fully burned for a while. In the moment when everyone was not able to react, the light of the Holy Day dimmed for a moment, and then returned to bright again.

"What?!"

The abnormality at this moment was naturally noticed by Iloviz and Akharonov.

Both of them looked up together and looked into the sky in astonishment.

The Holy Day still released its glory smoothly, as always.

However, you can vaguely see several light spots flashing with tiny lights falling towards the direction of the earth with a long trajectory.

...

Asmodai Empire, southern coastal corridor.

The Chuyao, whose outer armor has been completely renovated, is traveling at the speed of a normal mobile merchant ship.

At this moment, the appearance of Chuyao is completely different from the past. The outer armor that looks mottled and ancient due to history is now covered with a layer of metal patterns that look like the roots of trees. Its appearance has changed drastically. Except for the front corners and armor, other areas have become slightest like in the past.

This is Su Zhou's power. Although Su Zhou was not afraid of the pursuit of the Asmodai Empire, there were children from Xiguang Orphanage here, so he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he directly covered the surface of the Chuyao ship with a dark green divine wood outer armor, and slightly changed the structure of the Chuyao ship in appearance.

Nowadays, except for the patterns, the Chuyao ship now looks like a large commercial ship.

Although it is not common in this continent of Aion, it is not rare. Any industrial mobile city will have seven or eight large commercial motherships.

Now, Su Zhou is teaching all children in orphanages to learn the spiritual practice of "Burning Ember Fire 0.92 Beta Version".

Most of the children in Xiguang Orphanage have ordinary talents and are considered to be of a middle-aged man.

Even though Professor Svetre has been paying attention to education-related knowledge for several years, it cannot change a person's talent.

But fortunately, Su Zhou's practice has never paid attention to qualifications.

After all, most of Su Zhou's practices do not have any combat power - whether it is the immortal method of rotation or the five virtues Qilin method, they can all be practiced, but they can only practice, without including combat, and do not teach any other single practice method of extraordinaryness.

It only focuses on the accumulation of spiritual energy, and has its own special effects: for example, immortality, foundation building, and purifying the soul...

The effect has been simplified to this extent, and the practice of nature has become extremely simple.

"I'll probably end here today."

Putting away the textbook in his hand and wiped the crystal whiteboard behind him. Su Zhou turned around and announced: "It's time to get out of class - everyone remember, don't run around in the ship, Sister Fu Xiao will catch you all."

"The child who ran around casually and was caught is not allowed to eat meat tonight."

"Yes, professor!"

Hearing the children's uniform and mental answers, Su Zhou smiled - he didn't expect that after he came to the dusk world, he actually became a preschool tutor.

Among the thirty-seven children, Gasha and Loya are the most talented. No wonder Professor Svedre took them to explore the remains, which was obviously cultivated as an academic heir.

The next one is Seneca.

This big boy with the blood of Medusa and Siren is the oldest, and his personality and talent are also good. Professor Svedre also has high hopes for him. He hopes that the other party can become the new president of Xiguang Orphanage and take care of the new generation of children after he dies of old age.

As for why Su Zhou was able to be sure of every child’s talent in such a short time, it was naturally because of the Book of Prajna.

After returning to the Chuyao Ship, Su Zhou used the Book of Prajna to scan everyone aside.

I have to say that Xiguang Orphanage is not a special place after all. The truly serious future demon-level figures, namely Gasha and Luoya, are all ordinary lives and futures of others.

Moreover, all died after Professor Svetre's death, and the persecution of the demonized by the nobles of Ewende.

If Su Zhou did not rush back in time this time, the orphanage would be captured by Earl Everde, part of which would be used as raw materials for source energy testing, part of which would be sent to be hard labor, and part of which would satisfy Earl Everde's own beast nature.

Undescribable.

To be honest, even if it was just the words, Su Zhou was furious and couldn't help but want to go back to Alvind and crush the entire Earl's Mansion and Earl Earl's body to ashes.

But after thinking about it carefully, after the other party's soul and the fragments of the Twilight Dragon were eaten by himself, it was fine.

In addition, Su Zhou also used the Book of Prajna to scan Master Sousuguang and Dawn.

Master Suiguang did not lie. His past was exactly the same as his previous self-reports in the ruins. Both the original body and the machine body also longed for the world to become brighter and idealists who hoped to use technology to help everyone.

He should have died together with Yelena and Hard, and everyone died in Chuyao's ruins and was buried by natural disasters.

However, the analysis of the book of Prajna at dawn made Su Zhou keenly grasp several useful information.

It can even be said that the information of the sky falling and the earth breaking.
