The World of Demons (15): The truth

The three young men who had originally had great prospects all looked dejected. Magician Onet realized the seriousness of the situation. He frowned and looked back and forth at the three young men standing in front of him, and let out a long sigh.

He had to admit that although he was promoted to a magician because of his hard work, he had indeed met some people favored by God over the years. They were always very talented in magic. Not only did they have a very high affinity with magical elements, but their mental talent was even more amazing.

Young people with strong spiritual talents were always very sharp and good at observation. They could easily notice some details that others overlook, and then follow the clues to grasp the truth.

It had to be said that these sharp-witted youngsters sometimes really gave their elders a hard time.

After observing for a while, Onet found that the three young men were indeed as weak as eggplants hit by frost. They had lost all their fighting spirit, and their eyes and faces were full of confusion about the future. He knew that perfunctory treatment would not work.

With another long sigh, Magician Ornet waved his hand to signal the magician beside him to leave the study, and said to the three young men:

“You can get to the bottom of this if you want, but I will place a magical restriction on you. Before you are promoted to big magician, what I said to you today will only be known to you, and you cannot tell anyone else. Are you willing to promise?”

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were delighted when they heard this, and nodded quickly, promising not to tell anyone what they heard. Then they looked at Onet with burning eyes, waiting for him to clear up their confusion. Their intuition told them that they would get some important news today.

“Your guess is actually correct. Even if there were no human guards on the city wall, the monsters would not attack.” Onet smiled bitterly, “This is because the real relationship between the demons and our human race is not hostility, but cooperation.”

The explosive news made Xia Ruize and the other two’s eyes light up immediately, completely attracting their attention.

The truth was actually completely opposite to what the human race had been promoting? And it seemed that those who knew the truth were not isolated cases, which was very interesting.

“The reason why we humans and monsters have been fighting for so many years is not because we have nothing to do, but because the world needs us, and God needs us!

When you studied magic in the academy, you should have learned from the very beginning that the practice of a magician is actually to introduce magical elements from the outside world into the body, and then use specific spells to connect the magical elements in the body with the magical elements from the outside world, and then cast powerful spells.

Have you ever thought about where the magic elements between heaven and earth come from?”

Without waiting for the three young men who were lost in thought to respond, Onet continued to explain:

“The ‘God’ we respect was also called the ‘Source of the World’ in ancient times. The magical elements between heaven and earth were originally generated by the Source of the World.

At the same time, the source of the world also needs to absorb magical elements and undergo purification before it can continuously produce more magical elements.

There must be sufficient magical elements between heaven and earth to maintain good weather and the health of mankind.

But as the number of humans and monsters increased, and humans mastered magic better, a problem arose: the magic elements supplied by the source of the world were gradually insufficient to support the joint consumption of humans and monsters. In other words, there were not enough magic elements between heaven and earth. “

As he spoke, a sad look appeared on the white-haired magician’s face. “It shows that the world cannot function normally. Various natural disasters continue to occur, and all living things are wiped out. Humans and monsters cannot resist the natural disasters and can only die in large numbers.

Only when the number of humans and monsters is reduced to a level that the source of the world can supply them can they have a chance to prolong their life and recuperate.

After two cycles of this great cycle of life and death, humans and monsters have finally found a way to delay. “

Looking at the three young men who were stunned, Magician Onet smiled bitterly and continued:

“Someone has discovered that no matter if it is a human or a monster, when they introduce magic elements into their bodies during cultivation and then use magic to attack, the magic elements bred in the bodies of humans and monsters will enter the world together.

In other words, magicians and monsters can be seen as infinitely abbreviated versions of the source of heaven and earth.

Although the amount of magic elements that a magician or a monster can produce on their own is very small and just a drop in the bucket, if all human magicians and monsters work together to continuously release magic attacks, they can barely replenish some of the magic elements needed between heaven and earth.

So more than a hundred years ago, the powerful people of humans and monsters jointly agreed to use the excuse of monster invasion to make humans and monsters fight for many years, and to keep the truth secret. Only those who have been promoted to great magicians can know a little bit about it. “

After listening to the explanation of Magician Onet, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were speechless for a long time. They even vaguely wondered in their hearts whether this white-haired old man was making fun of them.

No matter how many guesses they had in their minds, they could not have guessed that the truth would be like this…

Human magicians and monsters were all tools for nurturing magic elements. The so-called war was actually just to urge magicians and monsters to diligently perform magic attacks…

This was probably not the first time that Magician Onet had explained this to someone. He was used to seeing expressions of doubt about life and the world on the faces of people who had just heard the truth, so he quietly gave them some time to digest this huge shock.

“I see that most battles between humans and monsters end with humans winning and monsters dying. Why are monsters still willing to cooperate?”

After a moment’s silence, Xia Ruize felt that there were still some details he couldn’t figure out, so he asked directly.

If the two sides cooperated, how come the casualties of humans hiding in the solid walls were far less than those of monsters?

But the white-haired and silver-bearded magician behind the desk smiled and replied, “What if the monster is not really dead?

You asked about a piece of information that is also blocked and known only to a few people. The reason is very simple. Monsters and humans are completely different species, and you cannot look at monsters the same way you look at humans.

The real core of a monster is actually its soul fire. What you see on the battlefield is just its shell. As long as the soul fire in its lair is not extinguished, it is not a big problem even if its shell on the battlefield is broken. It is just a matter of spending time to cultivate and condense a new shell. “

Walking out of the study in the tower, Xia Ruize and the other two had expressionless faces. They returned to the room assigned to them, leaned against the wall, looked at the densely packed monsters below, and fell into deep thought.

“This mission world is really… really unique…” Cheng Huaiqian sighed faintly, “The main mission is the easiest. You can stay here after completing it. You can get a treasure chest even though you just killed the monster’s body. And, human magicians are just a group of ‘air purifiers’?”

“If what we have learned is the true secret of the mission world, it seems to be true…”

Xia Ruize curled his lips and said helplessly, “I think the hidden mission of this mission world is for us to help this world find a way to solve the crisis of insufficient supply of magic elements.

Didn’t the main mission hint say, ‘The war that has been burning for years will eventually burn the continent to ashes’? It is very likely that it will be harmful for humans and monsters to delay by means of war. It is possible that the pot will eventually collapse due to the war.”

“Whether what the other party said is true or not remains to be verified. Our more important task now is to obtain the potion. Isn’t it to allow us to cast magic continuously? Arrange it!”

Cheng Huaiqian slapped the city wall and said casually.

“Let’s not talk about those that are too far away. It is more important to attack the monster below to get the treasure chest and potions to practice magic. Those bottles of potions may contain the hard work that the monster spent to cultivate a body, so we must cherish them.”

Under the leadership of Cheng Huaiqian, the three of them turned to discuss the next plan in the heart network, and stopped being in a daze externally, and started fighting honestly.

As time went by, everything seemed to be the same as before, yet something seemed to be different.

From that day on, Xia Ruize and the other two no longer extended the defense time of the Great Wall on their own. Instead, they left the city wall as soon as the six-hour defense time was over every day, but no one could tell where they went.

One time when Gardner was relaxing with his friends, he saw Xia Ruize’s figure flashing by in an alley. He seemed to be chatting with a traveling merchant.

You should know that after the training, Gardner did not alienate his relationship with the eight newcomers from Bei’an City. They belonged to the same Seventh District, and not only would they greet each other when they met, but they would also make appointments to carry out defense missions together.

Although Gardner felt a little uncomfortable that the newcomers he was teaching had reached the level of magician faster than himself, he still tried to adjust his mentality, humbly asked questions, and learned from experience.

So Gardner soon discovered that Xia Ruize and the other two could not be made to meet up recently. Not only that, they were hardly seen at all. He even went to the small building to wait for them but failed to catch them.

The three non-Hua country trialers also soon discovered that the three Hua country trialers that made them jealous had been doing something unknown recently and had been rarely seen.

What were Xia Ruize and the other two doing?

They were conducting a practical investigation.

After reviewing and comparing a large amount of historical materials, they increasingly felt that what Magician Onet said was likely the truth.

After accepting the explanation of Magician Onet, they looked back at the things that had made them feel uneasy before, and it seemed that everything could be explained.

So Xia Ruize and the other two decided to visit and investigate.

Sack City gathered people from 3 large cities, 12 medium-sized cities, and 46 small cities belonging to the human race in the continent of Buddenbaston. So many people from different places gathered in one city, and there were everyone from magicians to civilian warriors, providing the three with enough samples for investigation and visits, allowing them to indirectly collect information from all cities.

Xia Ruize and the other two deliberately arranged the defense of the upper city wall in the middle of the night, leaving the daytime free. By selling potions exchanged from the Magicians’ Association in exchange for the opportunity to use the magic teleportation array, they personally went to some randomly selected cities to conduct field investigations and gain a deeper understanding of the situation.

They also went to three large cities and specifically searched the public libraries in those cities to collect more information.

Also, Xia Ruize and the other two visited Magician Onet without any shame, and relying on the fact that they already knew some of the blocked information, they boldly asked him questions that they had not yet figured out.
