Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"Don't look at me with disgust. Do you think I will be sad because of this? Do you think I will die lamenting because of this?"

"You are too young, Tallulah. Although you already have a lot and understand a lot, there are some things you still don't understand."

"Go, kill me, and run away. In the wilderness, you will see the truth."

"Once you identify with me, once you understand me, once you understand the truth of the earth you live in, you will become me. Tallulah, your end is only with me!"

"Thank you, Kosiche." Tallulah looked at Kosiche calmly and said, "You are right. Once I identify with you, I become you. Thank you for your reminder."

"I will always tell myself not to agree with you."

"So go in peace! Cosiche!"

laugh--

The immortal black snake fell down and fell into silence like an ordinary person, while Drake's bloodline revived at this moment.

"Thank you for your warning, Kosiche. I will definitely not do what you want."

Tallulah put away her sword, and she slowly walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. The black snake died, and the Duchy of Cosiche welcomed the long-lost sunshine.

"It's time to leave and follow the teacher's plan to find my comrades."

In the spring of 1086 in the Terra calendar, the red dragon left the ancient

fort.

Tomorrow is a special day, so...

Chapter 37 The Emperor, the Internal Guard, and the Black Snake

Black snake is dead?

Shen Muke learned the news at Rembito, but it was already ten days after the black snake was stabbed.

Ever since the Oolong conflict, Shen Muke has left a mark on Tallulah.

This is a piece of insurance, specially designed to guard against the black snake's body-stealing method!

In the original plot, the old black snake Zuowangdao has no martial ethics and shamelessly covets the body of the beautiful girl Drac, turning a man who was supposed to be a pioneer into a tragic figure. It is really a heinous crime!

Therefore, preventing the black snake from seizing Tallulah's body became Shen Muke's key task. He left a backup plan, waiting for the old black snake to be stabbed to death by Tallulah's sword, and then used his upper body to stop him. , kill the old black snake in one fell swoop!

This is how things should be.

However, Old Black Snake's method of seizing a body seems to be slightly different from what he imagined.

Shen Muke thought that the seizure of the body was due to the black snake invading Tallulah's consciousness in the state of soul, but now it seems that this is not the case.

He used Vasak's authority to watch the whole process of Tallulah's assassination of Black Snake again, and finally it was Black Snake's words that woke him up——

"Once you identify with me, once you understand me, once you understand the truth of the earth you live in, you will become me. Tallulah, your end is only with me!"

Recognition and understanding are two words that are scary to think about.

So that’s it, is Black Snake’s body seizing not a soul invasion, but something similar to a memetic infection?

Shen Muke nodded, it seemed that he still underestimated this black snake.

Black Snake's thinking and views are full of the stench of superiors and predators, but I have to say that there is a real market for this stuff!

From ancient times to the present, the progress of civilization has mainly relied on two methods -

One is to develop yourself and use what you already have to create more.

The other is to grab it directly, and what belongs to others is my own.

It's hard to say which is the best answer, as both approaches can be powerful.

Dayan is the former, and now it has achieved the great feat of consecrating gods.

Ursus is the latter. Now it has the largest territory and the largest army.

Although he can't understand the path of the black snake, if he asks himself, there is still a market for the black snake for Ursus.

"The more market there is, the greater the chance that Tallulah will be taken away..."

As a Drac who was born in the Great Flame and grew up in Ursus, Tallulah's thoughts were like the Yin and Yang sides of the Tai Chi diagram. She was actually not very stable.

She has to use instability, after all, she is expected to be able to sort out Ursus's mess...

Shen Muke tapped the table with his finger and said, "Hedley? Logos? Are you all there?"

squeak-

The door opened and Logos walked in and said, "Sir, I'm here. If Hedley is right, he should be in the military camp now."

"Where is our next stop?"

"The Riport Mobile City is a city that is a mixture of farms and pastures. It mainly produces flour and raises jumping horns..."

"How long until we arrive?" Shen Muke asked.

"About a week..."

"Slow down and let the comrades rest more. It is not good to maintain high-intensity combat all the time."

Shen Muke thought for a while and said: "I'm going to be away for a few days, about a week, so slow down and leave some lead time."

"I'm not here during this period. Don't let your ideological work fall behind. You and Hedley have both read my books. It's up to you two to teach everyone."

"Remember, no matter what differences arise when you two interpret my book, don't quarrel, let alone attack each other, and ask for common ground while reserving differences. Do you understand?"

"Understood, sir." Logos nodded and said, "Sir, where are you going when you leave this time?"

"Ursus."

……

Ursus, the northern wasteland.

In the vast wind and snow, Tallulah was stumbling around in Ursus military uniform.

She had just escaped the third wave of pursuers.

After killing the Black Snake, Tallulah didn't dare to stay for a moment. She didn't have time to change into regular clothes and left the Black Snake's castle with her sword and some coils. However, when she plunged into the snowfield, she realized that she was still Too sloppy.

Pursuers, countless pursuers.

Some are snowfield patrols, some are regular troops, and some are simply fully armed elites!

Tallulah didn't understand how so many pursuers followed her, and she didn't understand how so many pursuers knew that she was the murderer of the Imperial Duke.

Her official identity is that she is the goddaughter of the Duke of Cosiche!

Why did this identity become so difficult to use overnight?Why did he suddenly become Ursus's enemy, without even a buffer?

Tallulah thought hard, and finally she was surprised to find——

After she killed Kosiche, she almost instantly became a public enemy of the Ursus Empire. From this look, Kosiche's death seemed to have been expected by Ursus? !

What kind of monster did he kill?

He must have been prepared, he must have expected everything today!

But what's the point of doing this?

No matter what kind of plan Kosiche had, he would be dead now.

This insidious and cunning careerist, he set a trap with his own life, just to plot against me?Just so I can be hunted?

What the hell is he picturing?

Knowing too much and thinking too much are not very good.

In the few days after Tallulah entered the snowfield, she was enveloped in panic and uneasiness, and even her skills retreated. She was in danger several times, and once she almost got lost on the road.

"I can't go on like this. I have to find a suitable place to stay. The best I can do is to settle down and then consider other things..."

pat...

"Who?!"

The dragon girl completed a series of actions including drawing her sword, blocking, and retreating in an instant. Before she could see the opponent clearly, she summoned flames and ignited the ground beneath her feet.

"You're too nervous, Tallulah, and this is going to go wrong."

A calm voice, a reassuring voice, like the warm sun in winter.

"teacher?"

"It's me, Tallulah, you're safe."

In an instant, the nerves that had been tense for several days relaxed in an instant. The exhausted Dragon Girl collapsed to the ground, and the flames and sword in her hands fell powerlessly.

Holding his student in his arms, Shen Muke caressed the dragon girl's forehead with his fingers.

No matter how people think of Tallulah, here, at this moment, she is just a girl under twenty.

If Tallulah had been born in a peaceful and stable era, she might have enjoyed a pleasant college life with her peers in a bright classroom. Unfortunately, fate always comes unexpectedly...

hiss……

Sand... sand... sand...

Shen Muke calmly raised his head——

"Heh... the pursuers always come unexpectedly..."

The terrifying aura as black as ink spread, and the roar of depravity shocked the soul. The depravity coming from the depths of the earth descended at this moment.

"The emperor's inner guard..."

"Agaritu...why are you here..."

The Shadow of the Empire roared, and they drew their sabers as if facing a powerful enemy.

Three internal guards are approximately equal to one pure-blooded Wendigo. Three pure-blooded Wendigos can win a city...

In front of me, there are ten...

"This is not a configuration used to deal with Tallulah, but more like a configuration used to deal with Black Snake..."

"I see, Fyodor...does he know what Black Snake is doing?" Agaritu shook his head and said.

It's a pity that they met themselves today.

"Retreat, inner guards. For the sake of you being the guardians of civilization, I will let you live."

"Now, back off."

Chapter 38 Alina

Tallulah had a dream. In the dream, she was nestled in her father's arms, as if nothing had happened. She grew up peacefully beside her parents. She and her sister Chen Huijie went to school together, played together, and grew up peacefully together. big.

In her dream, she forgot about Cosiche, the conflict, and the gloomy life of the past ten years.

No matter how strong and fearless Tallulah is, she is still a human being, a human being of flesh and blood.

She will be sad, sad, and have her own weak side.

"Dream, it's time to wake up... This level is fine."

The touch she got in the dream was not real after all. Tallulah forced herself to open her eyes. She never evaded her suffering, or in other words, it was this suffering that drove her forward.

Opening her eyes, Tallulah saw that familiar face, that was Agaritu, her teacher.

"woke up?"

Agaritu turned his head and wiped the cane in his hand, which was still stained with dark blood from the inner guard.

After experiencing a series of ideological struggles, the internal guards decided to execute the order from the emperor meticulously - to kill Tallulah.

Spiritually, Shen Muke expressed his approval for such dedicated behavior. The emperor's internal guards were indeed commendable for their loyalty.

However, this does not mean that Shen Muke will hold back at all.

Fortunately, he came today, otherwise Tallulah would have died here?

He will not be kind to the inner guards just because they have done a good job in protecting civilization, so he is a little more aggressive...

After leaving behind six corpses, the inner guards retreated.
