Whole life, starting from the heavenly sage

On the other hand, W on the side was a little noncommittal about Teresia's words. She had worked with Hered before, and of course she knew who was in that mercenary group—civilians who couldn't survive, slaves who committed crimes, The other members of the mercenary group who were dispersed...

These people are only embracing each other for money and survival. Although they seem to be more united under the leadership of the leader, there are not many normal people among them.

Well, the previous W was the most abnormal among them, but she never wanted to deny it.

However, that is all in the past. When she chose to leave the mercenary group and join the Tower of Babel, many other people also chose to join Teresia's command to serve the queen of Sarkaz. potency.

Only a few Sarkaz chose to leave with Hred and Ines, continuing to act as mercenaries.

As for what Teresia said was trustworthy, it was also because of her strong enough charisma and the relatively strong integrity of this mercenary group in the past.

Compared with other mercenary groups who say they are neutral, but are actually "scratches on the wall and fall on both sides", Hered, who signed a strategic contract, are indeed trustworthy.

"Hello, I'm Hered, the head of the 'Cardinal' mercenary group. Next, we will escort you to Dr. Kelsey."

After greeting Su Chen with a cold expression, he turned his attention to the former teammate beside him, W who inherited the name of the previous generation's team leader.

Turning a blind eye to the funny look of the "guest" with the ball of light above his head, it shows the professionalism of an experienced mercenary.

"Long time no see, W, it seems that you are doing well."

The white-haired Sarkaz girl quickly restrained her complicated expression, and greeted her in a very ordinary way.

"Long time no see, Hered, and Ines."

"Tsk tsk, you hypocritical Columbian cockroach is still alive, God really has no eyes."

Sarkaz, a woman with long black hair, did not respond. Instead, she came up and became angry at her unceremoniously.

"Heh, after all, I don't have the Originium skill that is so convenient for someone, I just need to hide behind and take a look."

And W also sprayed it back reflexively, and at the same time kept staring at her sword-shaped Originium staff, obviously mocking the opponent's poor melee combat ability.

"You!" Ines unconsciously placed her hand on the sword at her waist.

"What? You can't say it, so you plan to do it?" W also had a dangerous smile on his face, and put his hands on his waist.

Looking at the two people who were a bit tense when they came up, the other mercenaries all showed expressions of watching the show, and started to fan the flames with ghostly howls.

"Oh oh oh, the deputy head and the sub-leader are about to fight again!"

"I haven't seen this scene for a long time since the leader of the scoring team left. I really miss it."

"It's the first time I've seen Ines, who is usually calm, show such an expression. It's a long experience."

"Fight! Fight! I like watching women fight the most."

"The problem is that you TNND a woman watching a woolen woman fight!"

.........

In the end, of course, they didn't fight. W restrained himself because Teresia was watching, and Ines was stopped by Hered, disappointing a group of mercenaries who wanted to see a good show.

Certainly a crowd of onlookers with Theresia on their shoulders was also one of them.

Chapter 37, 【Pseudo-God】Teresia

At night, the hotel where few people usually come is now brightly lit and full of people.

Most of the mercenaries chose to use alcohol to numb themselves at this moment. They sat in the lobby completely drunk, and there were a few guys who were flushed from drinking and arguing about something from time to time.

Su Chen, who had heard some of them by ear, probably knew that some of them were talking about what they encountered in the previous mission.

Others were discussing which of the women they had sex with was prettier, and even included some vulgar slang, such as "cut off Sakota's head."

Those last slang words even drew applause, even from the hotel owner.

The boy sitting on the roof looked at the endless night. Except for the hotel temporarily occupied by mercenaries, the entire dull town seemed to be merged into the night, and its residents had already fallen asleep at this moment. .

For these ordinary Sarkaz people who have been away from the flames of war for a while, it is enough to live each day in peace. Their greatest wish is to hope that they can have enough food every day, and more entertainment activities seem to never come. Nothing to do with them.

"They are like people from two worlds, aren't they?"

A Sarkaz mercenary who walks around the battlefield and trades his life for money without knowing when he will die; a Sarkaz farmer who works hard all his life just to have a full meal.

No matter what kind of lifestyle, it is just for survival.

"That's why I want to change everything and do everything I can."

Teresia's gentle tone contained a steel-like will. After realizing everything that happened in the past, she still chose the most difficult path.

"Even if you have to face death and sacrifice everything?"

"even so."

"Even if there are many subordinates and subjects who oppose it?"

"even so."

"Even if no country on this land will support you?"

"even so."

"Then I will help you. Let's start with Sarkaz King City first."

Under the night, the boy from another world and the queen of Sarkaz made a real contract in this way.

.........

"Ines, is there a problem with our 'guest'?"

Among the three old friends who sat drinking together, Hered first broke the atmosphere of silence and asked about Su Chen's situation without hesitation.

As the deputy head of the mercenary group, Ines serves as the "eye" among them. In addition to the ordinary range detection, her special origin stone skill can also infer the psychological activities and emotions through the shadow of others fluctuation.

"...I can only see a golden sea of ​​fire, and I can't see anything else."

Depressed, Ines took a sip of wine and told the other two people at the wine table what she had discovered during the day.

This is the first time her Originium skill has encountered such a situation, even Her Highness Theresia who has seen it before is not so vague.

Faced with this result, W, who had expected it for a long time, showed her a mocking smile, and saw the veins on Ines' forehead throbbing.

"That's it. Then what can you say? It doesn't need to be too confidential."

Hearing this, the Sarkaz girl was silent for a while, and then looked at the two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time and spoke seriously, obviously hoping that they would pay attention.

"That guy Su Chen is very powerful. Even I am not sure that I can hurt him. Pay attention, I said hurt, not kill."

"These tasks for you are actually very simple, as long as you send him to Kalxi, you don't need to worry about other things."

Although I really want them to protect Her Highness Teresia with all their strength, since His Highness's death and recovery still need to be kept secret, it is better for as few people as possible to know about it.

Therefore, neither Kelsey nor W intends to disclose the existence of Su Chen and Teresia to others.

As for His Highness's safety, with that monster around, there would be no problem.

.........

The next day, at the convoy of the 'Cardinals' mercenary group.

The mercenaries who had rested overnight quickly loaded some needed supplies into the car, and then the entire convoy set off quickly, leaving the town in a single file, and gradually headed towards the wilderness in the distance.

Located in the middle of the convoy, the three strongest members of the mercenary group were gathering on an off-road vehicle.

Hered, who originally planned to arrange other people to protect and watch Su Chen, after listening to W's earnest advice, decisively arranged him by his and Ines' side.

This is both protection and surveillance.

The purpose is to prevent this "very strong" "visitor" from suddenly attacking. It is not uncommon for them to encounter such a sudden betrayal of the target of protection.

The Queen's Army, Tracys Army, Mercenary Group, and robbers from all walks of life rushed to kill each other, and they couldn't tell friend from foe at all. Often, everyone cooperated to attack a certain side yesterday, and started fighting chaotically the next day. In the end, only A large area of ​​ruins was left behind.

The underground world is more obvious. After the mercenaries complete the mission of the employer, they kill them backhand and rob the property; or the employer rewards the mercenaries on the black market after they accept the mission. head.

There is no doubt that this kind of thing is just the norm in Kazdel now.

However, the reality made Hered and the others doubt whether their previous arrangements were necessary.

The black-haired boy was sleeping soundly with a pale golden light ball on his head that was said to be related to his Originium skill, and he didn't show any signs of defense.

And that W, who was normal yesterday, is now staring at Su Chen next to him with envy and hatred, with an expression of wishing to replace him with his own body.

'I'm afraid these two people have some serious illness, right? 'X2

At this moment, the head and deputy head of the mercenary group had such thoughts in their minds.

This is what they misunderstood.

The reason why Su Chen looked like he didn't wake up was because he didn't sleep well before, and now he just catches up on sleep while he has nothing to do. If he is defending, he has [Dragon's Blood Armor] and Histem, and he doesn't really need him Worry.

He has been studying the golden light that contained the wishes of the Sarkaz people when he woke Theresia up.

After some hard work, the cause of that change was easy to find.

On the one hand, it is because the souls of those origin stone creatures burned by him in the past period of time have greatly increased the total amount of psionic energy. Although it does not help the promotion of psionic energy levels, it can increase the "blue Quantity limit" is also pretty good.

On the other hand, it comes from the influence of the "pseudo-Godzilla" soul, and the improvement brought about by the strengthening of part of the analysis of the [Third Law].

The former was originally born because of some kind of "Origin Stone biological experiment" conducted by the ancestors, and the red-purple soul is the proof that it has achieved a strange symbiosis with the Origin Stone after an unknown amount of time.

Anti-magic crystals, source stone energy cannons, recharging by absorbing source stone particles...

Compared with those infected people who have obtained Originium skills through Originium stones but have to endure endless pain, this life form of Originium dragon beasts seems to have been transformed from body to soul into [Origin stone creatures]—— Not only powerful, but also without hidden dangers.

After Su Chen burned his completely petrified soul with his [Soul Fire], in addition to the most basic spiritual power improvement and soul strengthening, his spiritual power level was also slightly increased.

This gave him some guesses about how to raise his psychic power to the fourth stage, Shining Gold, but it is still an unclear idea and needs to be verified later.

The promotion of the latter is due to his research on the part of "Consciousness Anchor · Solidified Consciousness" in [Soul Materialization].

In addition to Teresia's awakening, the final result also included the partial improvement brought about by the "third method" in his own soul that lacked the most critical part after the effect became clear.

Although it has little effect on Su Chen who has gone through the "questioning the heart", it is also an ability that directly acts on his soul. It is not bad to be able to solidify self-awareness.

The most intuitive improvement brought about by these two aspects is his [spiritual vision].

Now Su Chen has a clearer observation of the origin stone particles and the flow of origin stone energy, and at the same time can see the golden light overflowing from those infected people.

However, those energies that he named [Power of Faith] not only appear less frequently, but also in very small quantities each time.

Except for the one with Theresia, he hasn't collected much [Power of Faith] so far, which also slows down his research progress.

What can be confirmed at present is that this energy comes from those Sarkaz people out of respect for Theresia or the "devil king". ".

However, they are somewhat different from Su Chen's own "spirit sons", and they seem to have some characteristics of origin stones.

In short, originally he just wanted to transform Teresia into a [Pseudo-Heroic Spirit] to resurrect, but now he has a better direction for improvement because of this discovery.

For example, let this queen be sublimated into a [pseudo-god] that shelters all infected people in one step!

Of course, it is indeed very difficult to achieve this level, and there are countless difficulties that need to be overcome. What the final result will be, we can only see what step he can achieve.

Chapter 38、Goodbye Kelsey

While Su Chen's thoughts were surging, a convoy quickly arrived at the current location of the [Tower of Babel]—near a mobile city that had fallen and unfolded.

In the case of being relatively close and driving, the mercenary group only needs to bypass some areas destroyed by natural disasters on the way to reach the destination directly.

But having said that, it still took them nearly half a day for such a short distance of only tens of kilometers in a straight line.

Compared with the human beings in other worlds, because of the simple concept of "to get rich, build roads first", they use the ever-improving technology in the development of civilization to gradually build a "traffic network" covering the entire planet. There is no such good thing on Terra, where natural disasters exist.

Looking at the current history of Terra’s civilization, it was not without great talent and boldness who wanted to strengthen the ties of all parties and establish a centralized power, but in the face of the natural force of natural disasters, similar ideas and practices were just a waste of effort.

Because of random natural disasters, countries are unable to build a convenient transportation network, nor can they carry out regional division of labor. Without convenient communication and transportation channels such as railways and highways, the control distance of the central government cannot be long. (Infrastructure Maniac Wrath.jpg)

In addition, in order to avoid natural disasters, the mobile city built by them using the "Original Stone Technology" of the "Forerunner" and a huge amount of materials is inherently elusive, and it can be self-sufficient while being mobile.

This situation not only breeds the division of internal forces in various countries, but also leads to unclear national borders and subsequent years of wars.

After all, it is reasonable for a mobile city located on the border to "accidentally" run to the territory of a neighboring country in order to avoid sudden natural disasters, so it is also possible for the neighboring country to directly take action in order to "defend" its sovereignty. It's easy to explode.

And those infected with ore disease are just appendages in this historical development process. They are targets set up by those with vested interests to better rule others, and they are also tools launched by careerists to satisfy their own desires. .

Even if the ore disease can be cured, there will still be other miserable people who will become new "infected" if the natural disaster remains.

In the vicious cycle of "natural disaster-origin stone-infected", it is far from enough to solve a certain aspect alone. Only by solving the problem from the root cause can Terra get on the right track and develop again.

After seeing the fertile and desolate Kazdel wilderness on the way and the impassable road ravaged by natural disasters, Su Chen had a clearer understanding of the problems on the planet Terra.

'The natural disaster and the origin stone, and this sky...'

He said he wanted to catch up on sleep, but because he had a lot of things to think about, Su Chen, who just closed his eyes and rested in the end, was a little helpless.
