The dilapidated laboratory, the ground littered with corpses, and the weak and tragic Gold Fairies. Codori and the others were speechless for a while.
Did they deserve to be treated like this?
Codori didn't know either. The Gold Fairies were consumables, weapons to protect everyone. Others had always regarded them as special secret weapons. Weapons were weapons. Should a weapon have its own thoughts and thoughts?
They had never thought about these questions, nor did they have the time to think about them, because they would always fight, fight, and fight again.
Fangzheng stretched out his hand. Soon, a beam of holy light descended from the sky and fell on the injured Gold Fairies, quickly healing their wounds.
"Let's go. Let's get out of here."
Fangzheng hooked his finger, then leaped out of the hole again. As for the Golden Fairies, they were stored in bubbles and left with Fangzheng. Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other, then hurriedly followed.
When the four of them left the castle with the Gold Fairies, they immediately saw several Airships surrounding them above the castle.
"What are you trying to do? Wing Guards! "
The voice coming from the speaker sounded exasperated.
"This is Elspeth's capital. You're trespassing …"
"Ignore him."
Fangzheng didn't even look at the Airship. He left with the other Gold Fairies. Codori and the other two followed behind him in silence. They didn't have to follow them. After all, Fangzheng had just said that he would be back soon. But now, not only did they come for nothing, but they were also involved in a troublesome situation. Although the three of them didn't know much about politics, they knew that invading another country at will and wreaking havoc in the capital would definitely bring serious consequences.
But … what was done was done. It was useless to regret.
When Fangzheng and the others returned to their Airship, the Lizard officer and the others also came to the deck.
"What happened?"
Asked the Lizard officer solemnly when he saw Fangzheng and the others descend from the sky with a few Gold Fairies.
"Elspeth has violated the treaty!"
Codori was obviously very angry, not only because Elspeth had violated the treaty, but also because of the treatment of her people.
"They secretly imprisoned the Gold Fairies and even did some bad things to them!"
Codori wasn't sure what those people were up to, but based on what she saw, it was enough for her to give a reasonable answer.
Although strictly speaking, this answer was not reliable.
"So what did you do?"
"We didn't do anything."
Asya was much smarter than Codori in this regard, and she quickly waved her hand.
"That lad was much faster than us. When we got there, he directly broke through the capital of Elspeth and rushed in to rescue the people.... Ugh.... of course, he also killed a few people...."
"Who is it?"
The lizard officer puckered his brows.
"A few pig-headed …"
"Are they nobles of Elspeth?"
The Lizard officer felt a headache coming on. He turned around, but Fangzheng and Nefran had no intention of paying attention to him. The Gold Fairies had been suffering from the torture of the experiments, so their bodies were already very weak. Fangzheng first put them on the deck and let them have a good rest. Then, he took out his terminal and began to scan them one by one. He applied holy light to those who needed it, and medical glue to those who needed it.
Seeing this, the Lizard officer, who was about to walk over, stopped. He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.
"Let's move forward according to the original plan."
The Wing Guard airship kept a few Gold Fairies and continued to move forward. The Gold Fairies seemed to have been traumatized by the previous inhumane experiments. They had been hiding in their cabins, not daring to go out. They only relaxed a little when Fangzheng and Nefran appeared.
Although the Gold Fairies had a weak concept of death, it did not mean that they did not know pain. Even if they could not die and were not afraid of death, they would still feel fear when a group of people fiddled around with them on the experiment table.
To be honest, Codori and Asya were also very unfamiliar with this situation. They did not know what to do. Fangzheng, on the other hand, was very calm. He was like an attending doctor. When he had time, he would go around the cabins and chat with the Gold Fairies. It did not take long for him to pacify the Gold Fairies.
As for Nefran … She followed behind Fangzheng like a puppy. She did not care about this little bit of trouble at all.
"You seem to be very good at this kind of thing?"
Codori could not help but ask after watching from the side a few times. Fangzheng nodded.
"Of course. I've been to many worlds and seen all kinds of things. In fact, there used to be a world very similar to your world. "
"Oh? Is that so? "
When Asya and Nefran heard this, they also came over.
"Yes. That world is similar to yours. It's almost destroyed. Of course, it's also because the humans asked for it. They gave birth to monsters called Protozoa … The specific mechanism is very complicated, so it doesn't matter if you treat these monsters as beasts. The humans in that world used a kind of stone slab to prevent the Protozoa from invading the city …. "
As he spoke, Fangzheng opened his personal terminal and showed them the information of the Dark World.
When the Fairy soldiers heard that the stone slab could stop the Protozoa from approaching, they could not help but show some envy.
"If only we had something like that here," Codori sighed.
Kedori couldn't help but sigh. The people of this world built floating islands because most beasts couldn't fly. But there were exceptions. For example, the sixth beast could spread its seeds into the air with the wind. Once it reached the floating island, it would immediately hatch. This was also an enemy that the Fairy soldiers often had to face.
If this world had a stone slab that could stop the beasts from approaching, the Fairy soldiers would have a much easier time.
Then, they saw the existence of the Cursed Children and what happened to them.
The three of them fell silent. The fate of the Cursed Children was very similar to that of the Protozoa in this world, but even worse. After all, the Protozoa were still protected, but the Cursed Children ….. had completely become the enemy of that world.
"How are the children now?"
Nefran suddenly asked after Fangzheng finished playing the short introduction. Fangzheng shrugged.
"Most of them are currently in the Tendo Temple. They're living a rather peaceful and lively life. If you want to see it, I'll bring you back to the Tendo Temple after everything is over to experience it for yourself. "
"So ….. you want us to be like them?"
"More or less. If you can live a better life, why sacrifice yourself? Of course, it's mainly up to you. "
With that said, Fangzheng swept his gaze at the trio.
"Aren't you fighting with your lives here to protect the little girls in the warehouse?"
"Well ….."
The three of them were taken aback by Fangzheng's question. Fangzheng chuckled.
"In the movies I've watched before, there's a line that I like very much: 'I didn't have a choice in the past, but now I want to be a good person' …. I think this line is very suitable for you. You didn't have a choice in the past, but now ….. you can think about it carefully. Think about what kind of person you want to be and what kind of happiness you want. "
"Our happiness ….."
Codori fell into silence while Asya furrowed her brows in deep thought.
"Ahem."
At that moment, they suddenly heard a cough. They turned around and saw the Lizard officer standing in the corridor, looking at them solemnly.
"We just received an order. It's an emergency."
Hearing the Lizard officer's words, Codori, Nefran and Asya's expressions immediately turned serious.
According to the Lizard officer, they originally planned to go to the second island, but on the way, they received a report that the salvage team heading to the surface was attacked by beasts. Although they successfully repelled the beasts, the airship was seriously damaged and could not be repaired. Since they were on this route and were the closest to the crashed salvage team, and the only three demon elite soldiers were also here, the senior members of the Wing Guard Army ordered them to go to the rescue.
The so-called salvage team was also a kind of hard work. Every once in a while, the people on the floating island would go to the surface and salvage some things from the human ruins. The holy sword that Codori and the others used was salvaged from the ruins, which was why it was called a relic weapon. The work of the salvage team was hard and dangerous. After all, the surface was different from the floating island. Although none of the Seventeen Beasts could fly except for the sixth beast, the surface had become their territory because of that.
If they encountered one of the Seventeen Beasts, it would be very dangerous.
There was also a tradition in the salvage team, which was that no more than seven people could enter the ruins at a time, or else they would definitely die.
Of course, Fangzheng did not know where this tradition came from … Of course, he was just listening to it.
Soon, the airship changed its target and began to descend. Soon, a withered yellow land appeared in front of them.
The land was already dead.
Fangzheng could tell at a glance that there was only a desert left. There was only a desert left on this piece of land. There was no grass, no water, no trees, and almost all traces of life had disappeared. There was only dead silence everywhere.
This place was even worse than the Land of Chaos in the main world. Although it was also corroded by Chaos, there were still trees and water there.
But this place … was like a corpse with dried flesh and no skin. Not even a fly was willing to take a bite out of it. Only the last bones were buried in the sand.
And those ruins were the last bones left behind.
Fangzheng stood on the deck and looked down at the land below. An airship had crashed on the ground, broken into two. Beside it was a tidied up campsite. Not far away were the ruins of a human city covered in sand. Most of them had been weathered away, and the remaining parts were in ruins. It looked like the remains of an archaeological team that had just excavated them.
Soon, the people on the airship met up with the salvage team and quickly moved the injured and supplies away. At the same time, Fangzheng met two other Fairy soldiers, Lan Duoluke and Noft.
"Long time no see, Lan Duoluke. It's good to see you safe and sound."
"You too."
The one named Lan Duoluke was a quiet girl in a long blue dress with dark blue hair that was different from Codori's. Noft, on the other hand, was a girl with short pink hair who looked like a tomboy.
"By the way, this is …"
As she spoke, Lan Duolu turned her head and looked at Fangzheng with a cautious and sizing gaze.
"My name is Fangzheng. I'm currently in charge of the Fairy Warehouse."
Fangzheng nodded at the two. Lan Duoluke frowned when she heard Fangzheng's answer.
"Wuzheng, are you a Flesh-Eater too?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the tomboy Noft instantly became spirited.
"Are you Nicoran's husband?"
"Of course not!"
Before Fangzheng could answer, Codori couldn't help but retort. Fangzheng just laughed.
"I'm a human."
"Huh?"
Both of them were taken aback when they heard Fangzheng's answer.
"Human? What kind of joke is this? "
"Although I'm a human, I'm not a human from your world."
With that said, Fangzheng turned his head again and looked at the ruins in front of him.
"And … it seems that I've found something good."
In fact, the moment he stepped on the ground, Fangzheng felt an aura similar to the Goddess of Order.
It was obvious that the Order Node he was looking for was here.
