In the blink of an eye, fourteen years have passed.

The passage of time is fair and ruthless. The cruel era made the people of the old century strong and tough. For them who have experienced too much despair, there are not many things in life worth fearing and retreating from.

Precisely because the people are so powerful, the new generation can enjoy a tense but peaceful atmosphere. This kind of rhythm of life is much better than that of more than ten years ago.

Many things have changed.

First of all, the new batch of human beings who have grown up have not experienced the terror of evil gods!

In the past fourteen years, the Xavier Empire's deeds of killing the "Endless Prowler" have given mankind great confidence! Moliwes was the first to respond to the call, forming a huge army and stabilizing the anchor point in reality.

Under the strategic influence, the endless stream of evil spirits disappeared almost overnight - most of them hid in Hiss, which was also the only safe place in human territory.

The second thing is that Marshal Xavier was officially crowned emperor. His internal guards had terrifying magical power and persistently hunted down evil spirits, which played the greatest role in stabilizing the situation and people's hearts!

The old gods are dead, and the sin beasts naturally bear the brunt. The stable anchor point of reality has a destructive restraint effect on them for some reason, melting like snowflakes when exposed to sunlight, as if their essence is illusory and their true nature is not here at all.

The concept of "Dream World" has also been proposed by a few anthropologists, but failed to attract attention. They believe that there must be an illusory space above reality, which is the bridge connecting infinite parallel worlds and the source of all magic in this world.

.

········Unknowingly, most of the existences that brought disaster to mankind have disappeared on the fingers of one hand.

The clown is dead, the Thousand-Handed Man was eaten by Chen Ke, the blood god Kurami is still alive, it is rare for the evil beasts to be purged, and the evil demons are huddled in the space created by the Space Toad Clan. Looking at the map, large areas of land have been destroyed

recover.

In just a dozen years, mankind has achieved prosperity beyond the past.

Because they have obtained something that does not belong to this era, that is knowledge.

By stabilizing the reality anchor and purging the curse, the Red Knight's situation stabilized. He revealed an ancient secret method. It was with the help of that cruel training that humans could embark on the extraordinary path in the past.

However, even this method can only bring humans to a level of panic!

If you want to go further, you need to eat the flesh and blood of the evil god.

"Human beings are different from evil gods. We cannot feel those illusory beliefs and can only react ambiguously. But for evil gods, how to absorb and use the emotion of fear and beliefs is completely engraved in the instinct!"

Eating the flesh and blood of the evil god can save a lot of time in accumulating faith. It can also complete the missing characteristics of human beings and achieve myths with the body of a 'demigod'.

"Incomplete humans...if peace really comes, we may be the ones who bring disaster." The emperor of Xiver said softly.

"After all, we know how to rule our own kind better than the evil gods."

Evil God?

There has been no evil god here for a long time, and even evil spirits are rare legends. Through the research and improvement of evil beast cells, the human cell strengthening potion Type III was finally successfully produced!

No obvious side effects! Heritable! Outstanding results!

(Note: The main person in charge of this project is Edward, whose body and brain still remember this knowledge... When he was in Paradise City, Augustus had studied clown cells and created terrible potions.

)

Edward used this in exchange for a promise never to bother him and money to do anything.

Without the evil god, people became bolder in exploring the wilderness, and trade between countries resumed. Although it was not as prosperous as before, it was at least frequent.

A mercenary team is heading to the Dragon Rock Kingdom. They want to make corrections at an external mining site invested by Rem Project, which is also a small market in the wilderness.

Along the way where batches of slaves, savages, subjugated people and hyenas were trafficked, the ecological circle gradually formed was reasonable as it existed. The laws of any country could not control it. Backward and barren places had their own rules.

What the mercenaries have to do is to do as little as possible, the guns will protect themselves, that's all.

"Falcon, go look ahead and ask the old man how much the toll is?"

Among the mercenaries, a young face came out and advanced in the wind and sand. After a while, he came back with five fingers raised on both hands.

The index finger, thumb of his left hand, and the little finger and ring finger of his right hand were cut off. His throat was severely injured and he could not speak. He could only use body language, so he was naturally quite lonely.

"50 Taal, that's reasonable." The mercenary captain nodded and shouted behind him to count the number of people.

A head costs fifty tal. In the wilderness, people can also be clearly priced. There is nothing that cannot be sold. In fact, it is the same everywhere, but the people here are more naked and honest.

After paying tens of thousands of taars, the money can only stay for one night. If it exceeds the time limit, trouble will naturally come to your door.

After entering the mining site, the tense nerves of the mercenaries suddenly relaxed, and the team dispersed loosely. Before leaving, a careless guy shouted: "Boss, remember to come to us, and we will ask you to do it for free!"

"

The mercenary captain laughed and scolded: "Fuck you, you want to trick me into paying the bill again? I'll break your third leg sooner or later!"

Some excessive quarrels are seen by the mercenaries as just friendly jokes between each other. They are all warriors who trust their companions with their lives, and are desperadoes who are not surprised to die no matter when.

The mercenary captain calmly watched their figures disappear, "Falcon, help me find someone."

"Yes, Lord Solomon!"

Falcon waited for a while, and when he saw that the mercenary captain did not respond, he asked cautiously: "Who...are you looking for?"

"Our employer has something to give to him."

"Things? But didn't you say you wanted to complete the mission in Lei Wenqing's territory?"

"Falcon, haven't you noticed along the way, from the locust plague in Rosenberg to the poisonous gas leak outside the Crimson Forest? Wherever we go, disasters happen."

"Someone is trying to kill us. The route planning is secretive. I deliberately changed the route several times for this reason. The thing being escorted this time is very dangerous, and it is worthy for some people to make such an attempt."

"Who is it?"

"All the big shots we can't imagine. Okay, don't go into details, go to a higher place and tell me, where is the contact person?"

Falcon solemnly said with respect and admiration: "Yes!"

"Captain Solomon Gavin!"

He turned around and left, and Solomon heard a deep laughter coming from behind. An old man was sitting on the roadside. Every grain of sand here was smoother than his skin.

"You are rescuing that kid, mercenary. I never thought that someone who did such evil things could have such unnecessary kindness."

Solomon walked up to him and squatted down, "If seeking profit is considered a bad deed, it would be too ironic and ridiculous. You are not qualified to say such a thing. Where is my reward?"

"I know where your reward is, where are your things?"

"Not on me."

The old man, whose whole body exuded a rotten smell, laughed hoarsely again, "This lie is not clever, mercenary, give me the thing."

Solomon's expression darkened, and his eyes were extremely terrifying. In the noisy market like a busy city, there was a chill around him due to murderous intent: "Are you threatening me?"

"The emperor's inner guard has found the oasis where you stayed last time. This information was given three days ago. In other words, it won't be surprising if he catches up anytime."

"······"

"We don't have time to delay each other anymore, do we?"

Solomon agreed: "Indeed, then one hand pays the money and the other hand delivers the goods."
