End of Volume Remarks (13)
"It's just a little thing, it doesn't matter."
Liu Xia didn't take it seriously and went straight to the point.
"Compared to this, what did you mean by what you just said about the spirit turtle?"
In the dim hotel room, the two of them looked face to face.
There was no emotion on Lucia's face, and Oster Penglai, although she had an extremely charming appearance, was very serious in her behavior.
"Yes, then I will try my best to answer your questions."
Oster nodded slightly, then lowered her charming eyes, and her face became a little sentimental.
"I don't know if the brave man knows that there is actually a special barrier covering the outside of our world. This barrier can be used to protect our world from the waves."
Along with Oster's explanation, Lucia's understanding of the world became deeper and deeper.
Liu Xia remembered that when she went to the outside of the world and entered the elf world, she did see a thick barrier outside the world.
But if he remembered correctly, there seemed to be many cracks in the barrier?
"That barrier is now damaged and cannot perform its original functions. This has led to the disaster of waves re-invading the world after hundreds of years."
I see.
Lu Xia also had a vague guess at the beginning, and the conclusion was similar to what Oster said, but there was no conclusive evidence, so she did not jump to a conclusion.
"And the duty of the guardian beast is to collect a large amount of energy to repair the cracks in the barrier, once again block the wave from the world, and delay the arrival of the wave."
When she said this, Oster's expression became extremely complicated.
"And the way to collect energy... is to plunder the power of life, take the lives of millions or tens of millions of humans and monsters, and use their life power to repair the barrier. As long as you do this, you can delay the arrival of the wave. ”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold and solemn.
In order to protect the world, the turtles need to continuously kill, release tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of familiars, travel to various parts of the world, and collect large amounts of life energy through killing.
In this way, it can fulfill its duties as a guardian beast and protect the world from the disaster of the tide.
But in this case, the spirit turtles that massacre will undoubtedly become the enemy of all living beings, become a "monster that destroys the world", and become the target of countless human beings shouting to kill.
It's really ironic, it's a guardian beast that protects the world, but it turns out to be a monster that destroys the world.
Because protecting the world and protecting humanity are not the same concepts in themselves.
In order to protect the world, the turtles had to sacrifice a large number of humans to protect the world from the waves.
In this way, the reason why the hero sealed the spirit turtle can be understood.
Presumably in ancient times, when the spirit turtles were killing people in order to repair the world's barrier, the humans of this world summoned the legendary braves, and the braves sealed the monster that destroyed the world.
After all, the spirit turtles that massacred humans had already become a major disaster threatening the world at that point in time, and fully met the conditions for summoning heroes.
But now, after cracks appeared in the barrier and the wave appeared again, the brave man from another world ran over and unlocked the seal of the spirit turtle.
Forced by his own responsibilities, the spirit turtle took action again, releasing a large number of familiars and sweeping across more than a dozen surrounding countries, using the lives of humans in those countries to fill the cracks in the barrier outside the world.
The elves chose not to tell the brave man because the turtle's actions were originally to ensure the safety of the world. In their opinion, it was probably a necessary measure. Between the world and humans, the elves would definitely stand on the side of the world.
"How do you know so much?"
Lucia stared at Oster, somewhat doubting her identity.
The aura on her body floated uncertainly, seeming to be there but not at all.
There's no depth to it, plus he knows so many things, and his appearance is a little unusually charming.
No matter how you think about it, this woman's identity is very suspicious.
"This is because... I am also the familiar of the spirit turtle."
Oster hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath. She didn't know what decision she had made. Her eyes gradually became firm and she told Liu Xia her true identity.
"My official name is the familiar (human form) of the turtle. It can be said that I am an existence close to the consciousness of the turtle. It has existed a long time ago. I accepted the turtle's instructions and became the concubine of the King of Horai Kingdom, and then seduced him. , let him conduct...inhumane rule."
really.
Liu Xia used her monster identification skills and discovered that Oster's name was indeed the turtle's familiar (human form), which was the same creature as the killing bats and snowmen outside.
Moreover, there is no level or ability value on her panel. She looks very special. She should be a special individual among the turtle familiars, so Liu Xia cannot sense her aura.
Since she is the familiar of the turtle, she must obey the turtle's instructions, fulfill the turtle's duty as a guardian beast, and kill humans.
The reason for the appearance of seductive women is that, like Tamamo Mae and Daji, they can confuse the king of their country, causing the king to cholera the country, wantonly harming human life, and become a demon concubine that harms the country.
The country of Penglai happens to have implemented a closed-door policy. No matter what happens, it cannot be spread abroad, so it is most suitable to be a slaughterhouse.
Liu Xia also remembered that she had said before that she was not welcome in this country, and she deliberately appeared in a cloak and hood, looking like she didn't want to be seen. I'm afraid it was because she had a bad reputation in this country. The point where everyone is shouting to be beaten.
Once recognized, they will inevitably be criticized, insulted, and beaten by the public.
"Please, Lord the Hero of the Bow!"
While Lu Xia was thinking, Oster had already taken a step forward and held his wrist.
"No matter what, please knock me down as soon as possible. If you continue like this, it will definitely cause more casualties!"
The look on her face was extremely anxious, and she tried her best to persuade Liu Xia.
She is the humanoid familiar of the turtle, and she is also a being close to the consciousness of the turtle.
The so-called knocking her down refers to knocking down the turtle to prevent her from expanding the disaster.
As a result, Liu Xia was puzzled.
"Why stop it?"
Lucia raised her head, looked at Oster, and slapped her hand away.
"At the cost of some human lives, the world can be saved, the wave will not occur, and humanity as a whole and the world itself will not perish. Isn't this a good thing?"
It's a simple calculation problem, isn't it?
The weight of the world itself plus human beings as a whole must be heavier than some human beings. It is really illogical in Liu Xia's eyes not to implement such a safe method, or even to prevent his own body from continuing to implement it.
