I just covet their strength

Chapter 123 Sunny Ring

The Ring of Clear Sky is a relatively important force in "Song of Destiny". Their members all work in a special supernatural profession - "Witch".

As the name suggests, the power of witches is derived from the same source as that of demons. They have not actually signed any kind of contract to sell themselves to demons, nor do they have to sacrifice any souls at regular intervals and in fixed quantities. On the contrary, the [Witch] profession is classified as a thorough scholar-type profession, and their power comes from research and exploration.

The purpose of the Ring of Clear Sky is also very pure, which is to purify and dispel chaos. It can be said to be a firm supporter of order.

But it’s useless to say this. In the orderly kingdom ruled by the gods, no matter what your purpose is, if you get involved with the devil and become entangled with him, it is a great sin!

There are so many extraordinary inheritances in the mortal world, why do you witches choose to study demons?

Are you trying to dig something out of the "shadow of God"? Do you have such rebellious thoughts towards the most benevolent and kind God?
The mortal world is extremely wary of demons, and the fundamental reason for this is their special nature as the "shadow of God."

No one knows which demon is the filth of which god, no one dares to guess, and no one dares to ask.

Anyway, demons are indescribable, inexplicable, and undefined existences in the mortal world.

Even if they knew that a secret society that worshipped the devil existed, they would not launch a large-scale hunt for devil believers - it would be difficult to investigate. What if they really found something?
It would be fine if it was a god from another country, but what if it was the unknown dark secret of our own ancestor’s god?

This is a topic that cannot be touched.jpg
Therefore, the Kingdom of Order usually expel these secret societies from the country, out of sight, out of mind. This has also led to chaos in the border areas where civilization and chaos meet, and various illegal organizations are rampant.

The Ring of Sunshine is the leader in the Border Land and is at the top of the food chain among all secret societies.

Of course, the Ring of Sunshine, which has grown and developed on the border, is still an insignificant little character in the eyes of the Kingdom of Order.

But in the future disaster era, the situation has changed. The Kingdom of Order is deeply trapped in internal friction and disasters, and cannot extricate itself. On the contrary, the Ring of Clear Sky, which specializes in anti-chaos technology, rises from the border and becomes the overlord of the future.

Apart from anything else, the technology of the Ring of Clear Sky in defending against chaos erosion is really good.

Westhead wanted to establish a good cooperative relationship with the Sunny Ring, so he was very tolerant of Roy's contact with the witch.

"That happened shortly after the fall of Qinghui Territory."

Seeing that Westhead did not look angry, Roy breathed a sigh of relief and explained the situation:

"Originally, the Qinghui people who fled flocked to the nearby Empire's frontier territory, but because they could not accept the conditions of taking advantage of the situation, most of them were unable to stay in the Empire's frontier territory. It happened that the Chaos invasion had stopped at that time, and the refugee team returned to the Ying River again."

"I used to be the tax collector of this town. After the local bureaucrats abandoned the land and fled, I took over the command here and tried my best to gather the Qinghui refugees. However, the material reserves of a small town are not enough to bear such a large number of refugees. At this time, a witch from the Sunny Ring lent me a helping hand."

"She not only provided a large amount of supplies, but also set up a defensive barrier to solve the problem of bandits. Before that, this area was actually quite chaotic. It was not until the Ring of Clear Sky took action that the chaos was quelled. Now it has basically been stable."

Westhead raised his eyebrows: "It sounds good, but the witch shouldn't do charity for no reason. What are her conditions?"

Roy took a deep breath and looked at the Lord of Qinghui:
"The witch asked us to stay by the Ying River and observe how the Bright Forest on the other side of the river is being eroded by chaos. If necessary, we will also send people to investigate the occupied area and record all the data."

Westhead: "That really fits the Witch's requirements, but wouldn't that put all of your safety under the threat of Chaos? If the Chaos Wave continues to expand, it will be difficult for you to escape."

"I know, sir."

Roy smiled bitterly and said, "But we have no choice but to accept the witch's conditions to survive. What's more, the Sunny Ring is using us as research samples, but so what? At least the witch is studying how to purify the erosion of chaos. With their help, we may have a chance to return home. For this, it's worth dying for."

"I cannot refute this crime of usurpation. I can only ask you to make the decision. No matter what the result is, I will obey it."

What do you mean? You didn't expect the genuine Qinghui Gong to come and help the country, right?

You... You guessed it right. If the Chaos invasion hadn't started so quickly, Westhead would not have made recovering his homeland the top priority.

Lord Qinghui heard the implication in Roy's words, but he couldn't refute it because he was in the wrong first after all.

He stood up, walked up to Roy, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"I see. I already know the situation. Regarding your acceptance of assistance from the secret society [Sunny Ring], my verdict is not guilty. You have saved so many Qinghui people, so you should be rewarded."

Roy looked up in surprise and looked at Westhead: "But witches are wanted criminals by the empire, and contacting secret societies privately is also a serious crime."

Westhead laughed and waved his hand:
"The laws of the empire do not apply to the territory of the Branch of Prosperity! As the Duke of Qinghui, my power in this land is unlimited, and I can do whatever I want!"

"And I believe that nothing is more important than the lives of my people, so I pardon you. Get up, the cause of recovering Qinghui Territory still needs your dedication."

Westhead has already seen through Roy's true nature, a person similar to Yulda.

If his sister regards the Qinghui family as above all else, then Roy regards the land of Bright Forest as the whole world.

"Master, I will give my all, just to make the Bright Forest clear again. For this, I will not hesitate to die!"

Roy nodded vigorously and swore.

Just as Westhead and Roy were getting along well and having a pleasant conversation, Yulda stood at the door and gave her brother a subtle look.

"what happened?"

"Another citizen has come to ask for your help, brother. I am hesitating whether to report it to you."

"Report! Everything can be reported! Is there anything that cannot be reported?"

"The fact that you can come to me for help so quickly just shows that I'm very popular!"

At this moment, Westhead felt like being a wise ruler and was eager to show off. He walked straight out the door without waiting for the procedure.

Then he knew why Yurda hesitated.

The person seeking help standing in front of the door waiting to be called was a little girl in a white dress.

She looked really too young, with her snow-white and delicate face looking up, looking so pitiful.

It was such a young child... Would such a child come here alone to ask for help? Almost without hesitation?
Roy: "Merissa!?"

Westhead's first reaction was to look at Roy, suspecting that this was a test arranged by the other party.

But when he saw the surprise on the tax collector's face, Westhead thought he might be worrying too much.

There was no need for Roy to come in person to talk and immediately arrange this kind of temptation that would anger him.

It seems to be a purely personal behavior.

I'm afraid there's an injustice.

"Kid, do you need any help?"

Westhead asked amiably, crouching down before the girl.

"Master, can you help me rescue my brother?"

The little girl lowered her head in silence for a while, then raised her head and pleaded with Westhead in a crying voice:

"My brother is a slave in Baiyan City, and there are many other people from the same tribe."

"Everyone said that now that the master is back, they are not afraid of anything anymore, so I came to find the master, please..."
