Chapter 420 419. The Story of the Negative Crystal Giant Turtle

It was late at night, and the arrival of the snow monster attracted a lot of sleepy people to watch. They were eager to know what the guy who stirred up the entire Mera, brought a bloody storm, and was known as the most dangerous sea monster in Mera looked like. appearance.

This was the first meeting with the snow monster. Lu Yu and others couldn't figure out why this guy, who had been called "the most dangerous monster in Mela" by all the tribes in Mela, visited the Dawn Territory.

After the warning array responded, Purple Star from the combat team was the first to contact the snow monster. The snow monster seemed very polite, even polite. While waiting for a reply, it even treated the knight who looked like a knight with the courtesy of Melias. The long purple star is a sword-holding ceremony recognized by warriors.

Zixing, who had little education, reacted excessively. She almost attacked first, but the snow monster had no reaction. Instead, he recognized her loyalty after getting a definite answer.

Purple Star did not understand what it meant to attack the snow monster, and some people who learned the news broke out in cold sweat.

The tall and strong physique makes people truly feel the pressure of facing the giant beast when walking. When the snow monster sits down, the urgent sense of crisis disappears instantly, as if it is integrated with the environment. What remains unchanged is his Always upright and seemingly never relaxed - he is always ready to fight.

The snow monster sat under the chandelier. A large number of newly excavated lighting crystals cast a hazy and gentle warm yellow light, but it failed to remove the shadows on his face. The frowning brows and wrinkles like hills and valleys made the snow monster The strange face is like a dry river, as if the inherent gloom and depression are flowing in it; the eyes are like knives, but they always reveal sadness inadvertently, which is so consistent with the dull and depressing face.

Lu Yu looked at the snow monster, and the snow monster was also observing each of them. The silence was finally broken by the snow monster himself.

"I'm a little tired."

Both Lu Yu and Sera were unprepared for this sentence. They thought about all the possibilities of the snow monster appearing here and made corresponding mental preparations. However, this sentence "I am a little tired" greatly surprised them. It seems that the snow monster is the master of the Dawn Territory, and they are the uninvited guests who disturb the master's rest.

"I want to rest here for a while. After dawn, Lord Glutton, Sera's Chosen, and..." The snow monster's eyes stayed on Vanessa.

He stood up, bowed slightly to Vanessa, and saluted: "Your Excellency Vanessa."

"You know me?" Vanessa was surprised. She didn't remember that she had formed a friendship with the Siren in Mera during her lifetime, and it was naturally impossible for her to do so now that she was resurrected by Sayer.

"Great ninth-level magician, with you here, we can all have a peaceful sleep tonight."

After hesitating for a moment, Sera was no longer so uneasy and decided to let nature take its course: "Since Mr. Snow Monster is tired, Sigrid will take you to the unused house to rest."

"No need, it's just fine here." The snow monster patted the chair, then adjusted his posture, lying down sideways, and exhaled deeply, "After daybreak, you will know my purpose of coming. I don't mean any harm. ”

"It is said that you released the dye with good intentions." Sigrid laughed dryly.

The snow monster didn't speak, but just put on the visor, no longer showing that dull face.

Vanessa waved her hands to everyone: "Let's all go and rest. I'll stay here tonight."

As she said that, she sat down opposite the snow monster, holding her chin, and stared at the uninvited guest with flashing green eyes, as if she wanted to peel off his armor and see through his heart.

Lu Yu and Sera looked at each other, yawned, and went back to their rooms.

The morning light led everyone to gradually fall asleep in confusion, leaving Vanessa alone listening to the gentle snoring of the snow monster.

"He does look very tired." Vanessa said with emotion.

At dawn, Lulu, who knew the arrival of the snow monster, did not rush to the hall immediately. Instead, she looked around in confusion, hoping that someone could tell her why this sinful guy visited her Dawn Territory. Yu ate all the food he piled into his bowl.

When she went straight to the hall, she saw the snow monster enjoying the breakfast cooked by Lu Yu himself, and she suddenly became angry.

"You didn't die from the infection. You came into close contact with the infection and you were safe and sound?"

After waking up, the snow monster was full of energy and explained: "I am not safe and sound. At least until the infection completely disappears, I will always be tortured by pain. The horror of being half asleep and half awake, unable to distinguish between illusion and reality is shuddering. Even now I don't want to spend more time." To make memories.”

"What you said is very interesting. Torture and pain. You are still sitting here, but thousands of innocent people have been swallowed up by the contamination and died in the wind and snow."

"The uninfected monsters feasted one by one, and they became fatter and stronger in just one winter. The huge mountains are full of miserable scenes left by them eating their internal organs. Those pairs of eyes that are not looking back seem to be questioning everyone. Discover his 'why'

"Snow monster, you are worthy enough to mention torture and pain. How dare you mention it!"

Lulu became more and more excited as she spoke. The last sanity she could maintain was not to throw the fireball at the siren, who looked pitiful and miserable.

"Your expression is a mockery of those who have experienced it, hypocritical guy!"

The snow monster didn't take it seriously at first, but after seeing Lulu gnashing her teeth and trying hard to suppress her magic power, an imperceptible emotion flashed through his eyes.

The arrival of Lu Yu and Sierra stabilized the somewhat out-of-control situation. Vanessa stood up and took the initiative to hug Lulu. Both of them expressed their emotional stability for her taking away the work they should do.

"Say something!"

Lulu shouted angrily at the snow monster, but the snow monster chose to remain silent.

He turned to Vanessa: "I saw you in Sayer's memory."

The sudden opening caught everyone present off guard, and Vanessa, who was hugging Lulu, slowly raised her head.

"It's not surprising. You are an eighth-level magician and martial artist. You are also one of the pinnacles of this era. Your strong willpower that has not been completely eroded by contamination made you feel his will at the last moment of his departure... Snow Monster , you came here after you, what do you want?"

The snow monster looked up at the chandelier and murmured: "It won't be contaminated anymore, will it?"

"No, never again." Vanessa said firmly.

Sigrid, who was standing aside, finally couldn't bear it anymore: "You actually want to do it again!"

As a member of the Dawn Territory, she did not have much sense of belonging to Mera, a continent that was too large. However, as a bystander, her emotions were quickly ignited after she noticed the loss in the snow monster's words.

Even though he knew that his actions had destroyed countless ordinary people, the snow monster did not feel a trace of remorse in his words. He was so calm, as if the infection that once ravaged Mela had nothing to do with him.

Sigrid could imagine that the snow monster had traveled all the way, crossing mountains, rivers, and walking in the snow. Everywhere he looked, there were frozen and mutilated corpses. His heart was as solid as stone, and he was unmoved. Stepping on their corpses and walking in silence, all the suffering could not touch his cold heart. The wailing on both sides of the road, the flames ignited by the war, and the panicked passers-by everywhere were like backdrops.

How can someone be so heartless?

Where is his heart?

"As a matter of fact, even without me, the contamination will come. The magic wave releasing it is no different from my releasing it. I just brought everything forward." The snow monster said, "Of course, this is just a sophistry in your eyes. , because I have already made a decision, but I want to ask Ms. Sigrid...can Meira stop the infection without me?"

Sigrid was speechless for a moment.

"Perhaps others don't know how the contamination occurs, but Your Excellency Gluttony, Master Vanessa, you know it very well." A deep sense of ridicule appeared on the snow monster's always dull face, "This mistake was made as early as six hundred years ago It was decided years ago.”

Sera retorted: "Your Majesty Snow Monster, maybe what you said is right, but no matter what, your approach is dragging Meira into the abyss and eliminating the things that overlap in your words due to coincidence. What you are doing is destroying those poor people. I don’t think you can alleviate your sins through sophistry. Their souls will not rest in peace until you die.”

"I don't intend to make sophistry. From beginning to end, I am here to state the facts." Snow Monster said, "At the same time, I do not deny your accusations against me, and I do not even intend to defend myself. I just want to tell you that it is wrong." source.”

"As for being dragged into the abyss..."

The snow monster laughed, and when he repeated this sentence, he could no longer restrain the mocking look on his face.

"No one needs to be dragged into the abyss, Mera, she is already in the abyss."

Lulu was puzzled: "Why do you hate this continent so much? This is the homeland that raised you."

"Hate?" The snow monster shook his head, "I have never hated anything. This feeling of powerlessness has been abandoned by me for a long time. I am just doing what I think is right, and everything that is happening now Proved that my method works.”

"Do you think it's the right thing to awaken the infection that no one can control and massacre unarmed ordinary people?" Sera clenched her fists.

"That's the inevitable price."

"What do you think of them? Are they disposable items that you can bring in and throw away at will, or are they a series of numbers that are so huge that you don't want to listen to them?" Sierra was furious, "Who gave you them as a price?" The arrogance on the table is that they are living beings with their own ordinary, insignificant, and powerless lives. They are as humble as dust, struggling to survive in this disgusting world, hoping that better things will happen tomorrow. "

"And you, claiming to be superior to others and having insight into the world, casually pushed their futures into a huge gamble, making them your bargaining chips without knowing it, becoming what you call the 'inevitable price'."

"What qualifications do you have to decide the fate of everyone, just because you have lived longer and seen more?"

The snow monster glanced at Lulu aside from time to time, which made Lu Yu subconsciously protect her.

"Genius magician Lulutis, can you leave here?"

Lu Yu was puzzled by this sudden proposal.

The snow monster saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, and the sadness on his face became more intense: "It seems that it can't be done. In this case, I want to tell a story, and ask the God of Sera to listen to it before he criticizes my 'arrogance'. evaluate."

The Negative Crystal Giant Turtle was a special monster that existed throughout the rise and fall of Melias, but it was extremely rare in Melias at this time.

They live near the sea and can also live in fresh water. As a huge amphibious monster, it is famous for its powerful defense and speed far superior to ordinary turtle monsters. It is a existence that is difficult for ordinary monster hunters to deal with, but almost all hunters can They are willing to launch a desperate charge against this troublesome monster, just because they can bring wealth.

The shell of the giant negative crystal turtle can absorb magic power and continuously condense crystal stones as it grows. These colorful crystal stones containing magic are deeply loved by the princes and nobles of Melias.

After a long hunt, the intelligent part of the negative crystal giant turtle reached a deal with the royal family of Melias. They voluntarily were kept in captivity, and the royal family had to provide them with magic power and flesh and blood to nourish their bodies. , hatching out more fascinating crystals.

In the long run, this was a win-win deal, but after hundreds of years, the pain faced by the evolved negative crystal turtles when being collected began to intensify.

At first, the royal family showed restraint and only knocked off the superficial hatching.

Then the royal family became interested in the entire collection of scales, and the giant turtle began to bleed.

When the royal family became obsessed with the entire tortoise shell, the giant tortoise was powerless to resist.

During the long process of being kept in captivity, the giant tortoises lost their proud speed and strong defense. Living a carefree life, they took everything for granted.

Melias's gradual oppression frightened some groups among the giant turtles. They wanted to resist for a while, but every time, a giant turtle would crawl out and say: "It's just that the movements are a little too big, just bear with it." ”

"Just be patient and it will be fine. So, the giant turtle and Melias disappeared into the long river of history together."

The hall fell into silence. Lu Yu, who had been silent all this time, raised his head and met the eyes of the snow monster showing disappointment.

He wanted to say something, but ultimately chose not to.

"The giant turtles chose to endure the weak labor pains again and again, but were unwilling to be brave enough to break out of the cage. They anesthetized themselves, thinking that they could wait and change. However, history told me that they did not wait, and destruction was their final destiny. ”

"I have seen countless glorious countries turn to dust, witnessed their past achievements disappear in the history books, monstrous flames devoured civilization, and the cycle of blood and fire started over and over again. The story of the giant turtle is played out in every dynasty, and It's a stale script, and those who can't breed crystals and don't enjoy the treatment of giant turtles are far more miserable than them. After all, giant turtles are still valuable in the eyes of the royal family, and they... are just firewood. "

"I'm tired of it."
