After that, Nimf also rushed over with the others. The cruel scene in front of them shocked the girls. Although Charmander's' Time Reversal 'could heal wounds on a living person, it couldn't bring the dead back to life. Therefore, the elves who died because of the goblins' atrocities naturally couldn't come back to life.
Since the girls in his party had arrived, Fangzheng naturally left the elves to them to take care of. After all, these elves were still naked. As a man, even if he wanted to help, he didn't know where to start. It was better to leave it to the girls. Meanwhile, Fangzheng began to search the entire cave, trying to find some clues.
But unfortunately, after searching for half a day, Fangzheng still couldn't find anything in the cave. This was very normal. Goblins were a retarded race that couldn't even understand 1 + 1 = 2. Who would be stupid enough to give them orders through letters!
In the entire cave, apart from the corpses of the goblins, there were some spoils of war and leftover bones that the goblins had peeled off from the elves and other victims ….. In the end, Fangzheng returned empty-handed.
"Did you find anything? Mr. Fangzheng? "
When Fangzheng walked out of the cave, Fina hurriedly approached him and asked. However, Fangzheng shook his head.
"Only some junk and elves' stuff. I didn't find anything useful."
Speaking until here, Fangzheng glanced at Nimf. Sensing Fangzheng's gaze, Nimf closed her eyes to sense the surroundings, then shook her head slightly at Fangzheng.
There was nothing nearby.
Receiving Nimf's answer, Fangzheng nodded. He wasn't a fool. After learning from the elf girl that there was another mastermind behind these goblins, he let Nimf activate the full frequency radar search mode to prevent the dark shadow from turning around and killing them. But now it seemed like this problem wasn't a problem for the time being.
So the next question was, what exactly was that black shadow?
To be honest, Fangzheng was not completely clueless about this.
According to the Elf maiden, they suddenly fainted after seeing the shadow. There were a few High Tier Spells in the Illusion Department that could achieve this effect, but Fangzheng had given up on illusions because he specialized in prophecy, so he couldn't determine it for a while. But if he were to judge, then Fangzheng was more inclined to another result.
According to the elf girls, before they fainted, they felt a great and almost uncontrollable fear. In Fangzheng's memories, there was only one way to achieve such a situation other than Dharma spells. In fact, even Fangzheng himself could do it.
Dragon Might.
As a young dragon, if Fangzheng were to fully unleash his dragon's might in front of the mortals in the Fire Dragon World, they would also suffer the same symptoms as the elves. They would faint or even have a mental breakdown due to excessive fear. But the problem was that it was a world without any magic, and those people were just ordinary mortals. The elves in the Origin World had even better magic resistance than humans. Although they were not as nearly immune to magic as the dwarves, they were still not something that ordinary dragon's might could deal with.
If the other party was really a dragon that could make the elves, who had high magic resistance, fall into a coma in less than a single encounter, then it would definitely not be an ordinary dragon. It might not even be an adult dragon, but …
Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this now.
Fangzheng shook his head and put aside the thoughts in his mind. He had not seen the dragons of this world yet. Although he had learned some things about these dragons from the books in the White Tower, they were just records. In fact, the dragons of the Origin World rarely appeared in front of mortals. They would occasionally take human form and act together with adventurers, or quietly observe the rise and fall of a country from the side. Of course, there were also some evil dragons that would faithfully play the role they were supposed to play …
"How are the elves?"
"They're very tired, and they've suffered a great mental blow. I've cast a calming divine spell on them. At least … at least they can rest well for the time being."
At this point, Fina's expression was a little gloomy. Although everything had been settled by Fangzheng when they arrived, these girls were not fools. Just by looking at the appearance of the elves and the miserable state of the dead elves, they could guess what had happened here.
"Also, I found something very strange … The magic in these elves … seems to be …"
At this point, Fina did not seem to know how to explain.
"It seems … that it's all used up. It's as if they collectively released a huge magic spell. Half of the reason they're so tired now is because they've exhausted their magic power. But I've asked the elven lady, and she's very sure that she and the others haven't released any magic today. "
"Oh? There's such a thing? "
Hearing this, Fangzheng frowned, but he did not say anything else.
"Anyway, let's go and take a look first."
At this moment, the elves had been moved out of the cave by the young ladies. With the help of Funa and the others, the elves had changed into ordinary robes and boots. These were also the supplies that the young ladies brought with them when they went out. Fortunately, the elves' bodies were slimmer than humans, so these clothes could still be worn.
At this moment, the elves were leaning against the tree trunks, falling into a quiet sleep.
There were also a few elves covered in white cloth and placed on the other side of the river. They were the ones who had been brutally killed by the goblins. At this moment, Fangzheng saw the three elven girls he rescued from the cave kneeling in front of the corpses and praying in a low voice. He could even faintly hear their sobbing.
"I think I can understand their sorrow."
Fina held her scepter and stood quietly beside Fangzheng. She gazed at the scene not far away with a complicated expression.
"I've had a similar experience. It was just an ordinary patrol, saying goodbye to my friends and doing the same work as usual. But suddenly, I was separated by heaven and earth …. In comparison, it was easier to accept death on the battlefield with the cultists. After all, everyone was mentally prepared for it. But now ….. "
Fina did not continue, but Fangzheng understood what she meant. It was like in modern times, if you were killed by a stray bullet on a chaotic battlefield, it would not be surprising at all. But if you went out to buy groceries and accidentally got involved in a car accident, your friends and family would find it hard to accept this fact.
"Why?"
At that moment, Katie's voice came from the side. Although she was hidden as usual, Fangzheng and Fina could hear the sadness and doubt in Katie's voice.
"Why are those evil monsters allowed to exist in this world? Isn't the Goddess of Order a good god? Why would she allow such monsters to exist in the world of Order? "
"This ….."
Faced with Katie's question, Fina opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not say anything. Instead, Fangzheng squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
"Order doesn't differentiate between good and evil. In fact, nothing is destined to do anything when it's born. Angels and demons are part of Order, and so are we humans. But there are also good and bad humans. Wolves were cunning, sinister, and ferocious animals. To rabbits, they were no different from demons. These goblins are the same. They are evil and as annoying as rats in the gutter, but they are still part of this world …. "
"Then ….. how do we differentiate between good and bad?"
"It's simple."
Faced with Katie's question, Fangzheng's lips curled up slightly.
"That depends on your own choice."
"My own ….. choice?"
"That's right. Just like humans, no one says that humans are good people from birth. You can be a good person, or you can be a villain. You can be an assassin who kills people like flies, or you can be a priest who saves the world. You can be lustful, or you can work hard. You can choose to fight for Order, or learn from the evil cultists and become a lackey of Chaos. It's your own choice, your own decision. The Order doesn't restrict your will. Even if you are born the same way, and have the same foundation, you will still have different outcomes. "
Speaking till here, Fangzheng spread his arms apart.
"It's the same for those Goblins. They chose this path, so their fate is to be destroyed by humans one day, just like what I've done. I also chose this path, that's why I killed those goblins to save the victims. If I choose to be a selfish person, I can pretend that I didn't see anything and avoid trouble. I can just turn around and leave, ignoring the fate of those elves. They might be tortured to death by those goblins, or they might be saved by their companions. These are all choices. Yours, mine, everyone's choices. That's life. "
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Katie fell into silence. Fina gripped her scepter tightly, then lifted her head and looked at Fangzheng.
His eyes were filled with a certain kind of resolute will.
"Then, Mr Fangzheng, what if you make the wrong choice?"
"There are no wrong choices in this world. Some people dream of saving the world, some just want to watch the world burn. Right and wrong isn't the main point. What others think is right, perhaps you don't think so. Similarly, what you think is right, may be meaningless to others. "
Facing Fina's question, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
