Welcome Back To the World Game
v2 Chapter 349: "I would like to imprison myself with 'e
...
In the splendid hall, Su Mingan was enjoying the legendary "royal treatment".
Various dishes were placed on the long table covered with tablecloths, and dancers were dancing on the side.
Praia's highest-ranking Princess Tulip was sitting beside him and seemed to be enjoying the dance.
She clearly agreed to stabilize the barrier, but Princess Tulip, who revealed her true face, never mentioned it, as if she had forgotten about it.
She was shaking the wine in her glass, sitting upright, looking elegant and beautiful, but Su Ming'an still remembered her crazy look just now.
The princess said that the man who assassinated him was one of her "Petri dishes" and her best and most qualified generation, but it seems that something went wrong in the cultivation of his mind, making this man a little out of control .
Su Mingan asked her why the petri dish would turn into that **** appearance when it died, but she said it was an important part of the "blessing". Dead bodies decompose, rot, and then become food for other "Petri dishes" that allow them to continue to grow.
There was extra pride in her words, and she seemed to revere the **** in the sky very much.
Su Ming'an listened to this method of "eternal life", but only felt that the **** became less and less like a good person.
... This is a common method of raising a gu. Absorb other people's lives and distort other people's minds in order to achieve "eternal life".
The body may be preserved, but in his opinion, the princess' soul has long since rotted.
... just like now.
He raised his head and glanced, the beautiful dancer under the stage was throwing a wink at him. The aroma of wine is lingering, the exquisite dishes are dazzling, and the interior seems to have a pink heating.
But he still remembered Garde's daughter lying in bed coughing.
"Su Rin." The princess said suddenly.
Shaking the wine glass in her hand, her light-colored eyes also seemed to contain a layer of alcohol:
"I love this land."
"Oh." Su Ming'an responded indifferently.
"What? Don't you think it's different?" She took a sip of her wine and laughed softly.
"picture."
"No, you don't think so." The princess said, "...because you haven't carefully looked at the changes in the land of Praia after the establishment of the barrier."
"..."
"Look, the enchantment was established, the storm subsided, the siren was suppressed, the people were in glorious and proud battles, and everything seemed to be alive..." The princess said:
"The peace of Praia is built on the sacrifices of generations, and its prosperity comes from our sacrifices - the destruction of the body, the decay of the soul, the distortion of the will of generations...
"Everything that seems absurd to you is actually the most valuable. They are all 'sacrifices', but the human factor is too heavy, and it seems like a meaningless struggle for power belonging to the conspirators of the royal family.
"But actually, Su Rin, you've seen too few tragedies, and you don't understand everything I've done.
"The situation in Praia is not well-off, it does not allow anyone to be at ease, and it does not accept naive ideas, romance and freedom-loving humanity are not allowed here. All battles are necessary battles, once they are avoided One game will only be filled with more sacrifices.
"I don't need to say more, you who have done similar things should understand this. Because there is no way to make everyone happy by 'without sacrifice'.
"Over the past 60 years, I have fabricated many lies and killed many innocent 'Petri dishes'. I have captured seriously injured soul hunters and killed unruly soul clans so that they can worship me. My great deeds keep my blessings alive.
"I am alive, but I do not enjoy the freedom of eternal life. I can leave this land full of disasters and go to the comfortable new empire to enjoy my long life.
"—and it is precisely because I love here, and revere this land as fanatically as I love myself, that I stay.
"I have traveled every inch of the land where I raised me, and met countless young and old residents.
"I listened to their wishes, used lies to perpetuate the majesty of the royal family, and used fabricated royal power struggles to seduce those who are ill-intentioned.
"...I love this land.
"I care about its future and love everyone who lives in this land. Whether they are poor or rich, whether their hearts are beautiful or ugly. In my eyes, they are all Praia flowing Every drop of water is the soul of Praia.
"Their deaths must not be meaningless, I command them, carefully arrange the ending of each of his people, and I allow everyone to work hard for a tomorrow.
"...I love it here.
"I am willing to imprison myself with 'eternal life' and face people who are exactly like me and may replace me at any time.
"Today's Praia has become a huge tree, even if the borers are constantly growing, the trunk and branches and leaves are growing densely, and it still has the opportunity to continue to live.
"But if Praia doesn't have me, the conspirators will rule the land, the senseless wars will never stop, and people will never be as peaceful as they are today. What you see, it won't be what it is today. .
"...I will not admit defeat, I believe in Praia's tomorrow, so I am willing to enjoy the shackles called 'eternal life'.
"And all this, Su Rin.
"You didn't even understand."
When the princess said this, she paused.
"Then what if you die?" Su Ming'an suddenly said.
The princess turned her head to the side. At this moment, she saw a long knife with a tiny white light touching her face, the tip of the knife pointing at her defenseless neck.
"If I die." The princess didn't look nervous: "The surrounding sirens will lose control, and no one will check Praia's enchantment every day. I am an irreplaceable existence, and the gods should have told you. , you won't kill me, Su Rin."
Su Mingan frowned slightly.
Even though his knives were all pointed at the other party, the other party's favorability remained unchanged and did not show.
From beginning to end, the princess's affection for him didn't seem to change, and he couldn't even see the initial value.
"I don't care about your philosophy. When I come back this time, I just want to make a deal with you," he said.
"You said."
"I will stabilize Praia's enchantment, and in the same way, you will help me in the feast at sea the day after tomorrow."
"..." The princess was silent for a moment: "The royal family can't participate in the feast at sea. I can only promise not to interfere and I can't help you."
"Also, I shouldn't be able to go back to Soul Hunter. I hope I can give it to me at the exchange point." Su Mingan continued.
He found out before that his Soul Hunting Contribution Ranking had been frozen. Although the Contribution Point was still the first in the entire dungeon, the entire interface was already gray.
"You can go back." The princess smiled: "The news of Ellas's death was blocked, and no one knows what happened last night - as long as you want, you can even become the next soul hunting leader. Su Rin, you are a **** The existence that adults are most optimistic about is also the only person who can come down from Yunshang City, as long as you are obedient and not rebellious, you can get whatever you want."
Su Ming'an was a little surprised.
Fortunately, he got on the line of the princess.
"What if I wasn't the leader?" His tone was hesitant.
"Who do you want to recommend?" the princess asked.
"A new S-rank soul hunter from the soul hunter camp, named Amber." He said, "What if I want to recommend him?"
The "amber" in his mouth is Ying.
This guy has been lurking in the soul hunting camp, wearing a black mask all the time, and he is in trouble with Lu Shulinyin and the others.
The irritating name "Amber" was also chosen by Ying himself, and has nothing to do with him.
When he was doing the quest here, Ying then smashed his contribution points over there, and the other players who abused him were miserable.
Because of his famous skill Space Vibration, Ying has long been recognized as Su Ming'an. Because the chat channel is too chaotic, the news that Su Mingan is Su Rin is mixed into it like a stream flowing into the sea, so that Su Mingan himself is a little quiet here, but it avoids the harassment of many other players.
Although the shadow itself is not a player and cannot be ranked on the contribution value rankings, Lu Shulinyin's contribution points are very long, and he has already changed a lot of good things.
Su Ming'an has already planned to make Ying the leader of the soul hunter, and he will be the leader of the soul clan here, in a situation of two buns, so that those players who are addicted to the soul clan and fail to take care of the overall situation of the plot suffer a big loss at sea feast.
Facing his gaze, the princess suddenly covered her mouth and smiled.
In the rather exotic singing and playing of the piano, her smile was extraordinarily lively, and the feeling of calmness and indifference was gone.
"Of course you can." She smiled: "I have heard about the new S-rank soul hunter, but I didn't expect him to be yours. In this case, I will strive for him to succeed Ella before the feast at sea. S's position. I'll let him hold the things that contribute."
Hearing her affirmative words, Su Ming felt a sense of finality in his heart.
...I finally got it.
His strategy line in the dungeon has always been the ultimate plot flow.
Different from the vast majority of players who are violent to farm monsters, he takes the most extreme route and takes the overall situation into consideration. This is to get 100% perfect clearance and prevent himself from overturning at the end of the game because he is addicted to farming monsters.
The dungeon process of ordinary players basically follows the flow. They do whatever they are assigned. If there is a task in front of them, they do it step by step. When they see NPCs, they obey them. When they see monsters, they kill them. Their dungeons are very passive, but It's safe, because there's generally no danger if you don't delve into the puzzles of the dungeon.
Like this Playa dungeon, as long as the player joins a good team at the beginning, or buys some NPCs, their nighttime session will not be too difficult, even if they find a cleaned area to hide.
This kind of route is not shameful, on the contrary, it is very common, because Lu Shulinyin and the likes at the top of the list also do this, and their harvest is not low at all. Killing the soul clan has obtained a lot of good things, and the process is very easy.
...but Su Ming'an can't.
Because his goal has never been an ordinary customs clearance.
... He is bound to take the initiative to fall into the plot and enter the most dangerous link.
And now, the last key point has been won.
"Then I'll go back."
Su Ming'an withdrew the knife and turned to leave.
The princess didn't stop him, she just watched him leave with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
……
Originally wanted to go back to the Southern District, but Su Mingan saw an acquaintance in front of the Wangcheng city wall.
A golden-haired knight with blond hair was talking to a young man in the armor of the Royal City Guard.
Seeing Su Ming'an come out, the golden-armored knight showed a somewhat shocked expression: "Captain? How did you come out of the royal court?"
Su Ming'an recognized it, these two people who just chatted and didn't stand guard were Xie Lude and Nuoer.
Noel was serving in the royal city, and now Shelude has been promoted to the royal city knight, so it is not surprising that the two are together.
Xie Lude's expression was a little anxious.
He was in a coma last night, and his memory disappeared since he returned to the church to receive the punishment. He didn't know what happened next, didn't know the death of Ellas, and didn't know the ending of Garde.
All he knew was that this morning, he was awarded the title of Knight of the Royal City, and he suddenly achieved the dream he had been looking forward to.
"Last night... Garde she..." He seemed to want to ask.
"By the way, please help to send this photo to Soul Hunting Headquarters." Su Ming'an put Garde's family portrait into Xie Lude's hands.
He can't go back anymore, it's better to let Shelude send it off. As for Noel, they can form a team to chat about something, there is no need to stand face to face.
"wait wait wait."
Xie Lude followed a few steps: "Captain, I'm on a break today, and I have a task tomorrow. Let's go together... In a few days, it's my twin sister's birthday. I want to exchange gifts with her, and she just likes it very much. You, I want to meet your legendary S-level soul hunter..."
Su Ming'an did not look back.
He knew that as soon as he left, he and Xie Lude were two different ways.
Xie Lude was a bright knight who hated evil and hatred. He was a chess piece controlled by the faction. If he knew that the "captain" was actually the leader of the soul clan, he would only have hostility in his heart.
Meeting again is on the battlefield of the feast at sea.
The battle between the two clans will not change because of a short friendship.
"Captain, captain, aren't you going to choose gifts with me? Captain, that kebab shop..." Xie Lude's voice floated behind him.
Su Mingan didn't look back.
He walked all the way, leaving Sherudd's voice behind, and then passed Thirteenth Street.
Snow has already started to fall in the sky, and the snow has started since the early morning.
The system time has reached December 24, 2021, and tonight is Christmas Eve.
Who would have known that Praia, which has always been hot, started to snow at this time.
Perhaps this is a strange omen of a feast at sea. Some players who are not prepared for the cold protection equipment will definitely be troubled by this.
The snow wasn't big, but it just splattered and fell on the body like white flakes.
Su Ming'an paused for a while, then took a look at the street.
In that low bungalow, there was no sound of the loom, not even the faint sound of coughing.
I heard from the residents next to me that the Garde family moved away, saying that they had already gone to sea.
She should have known that her father was gone.
After all, she knew that the real Su Rin couldn't drink rice wine at all.
"..."
Su Mingan stopped at the place ~lightnovelpub.net~ that house, at this moment it was silent.
The clothes drying pole at the door still stood empty, the fine snow melted on it, and the spread cloth disappeared.
No one was chattering there anymore, kindly telling him not to be impulsive and bent over to dry the salted fish.
He still remembered her silver hair in the sunset, the wrinkles on her face trembling in the wind, but her smile was mixed with sweetness and sadness.
At that time, Su Mingan, who had just arrived in Praia, thought the battle of soul hunting was honorable and just, and felt sorry for her son Hull.
...but now it seems that all this is meaningless at all.
The truth that the old lady said before has now become a reality.
...And now, Su Ming'an, who holds the two highest powers in Praia, is standing here, but she can no longer be seen.
She had long been holding her old man and walked into the dusk illuminated by the setting sun.
……
"Ding bell ding bell~"
Suddenly, a burst of cheerful music sounded.
On the left wrist, the noisy watch rang:
"Detecting that the owner is in a bad mood, A Du will automatically turn on the happy music broadcast mode for you..."
"Shut up." Su Ming'an said.
