Even if she said this, she still didn't say it. Ariel still didn't know what this saint wanted to do.

However, these words she said did not make Ariel feel disgusted. After all, this woman does not seem to be hostile now, and her current dress does not show any ability to carry weapons. In comparison, she is

The maid next to her, wrapped up and down, looked even more terrifying.

"If I can create a better world, then of course it is my duty to do so. But...can you stop asking riddles? Tell me what you want to do?"

There was a smile in the eyes of the saint, and she nodded slightly, looking at Ariel as if she agreed very much, and said: "It doesn't matter what I want to do. What's important is that you agree with me, Duke."

I understand my thoughts and agree that the world deserves better values. However, if I just explain it in this way, you may think that it all seems so rhetorical and meaningless. Then, I might as well give you something.

Honest opinions.”

Ariel frowned: "Say."

At that moment, the saint girl still showed a smile in her eyes, and then what she said suddenly made Ariel feel a little anxious.

"You may think that the current situation in Hanhai City is fully under your control. But I still want to remind you that since the Blue Bay royal family has decided to completely tear up the agreement with you, this means that he has already made this decision.

Preparation for a war.”

"What the Blue Bay Empire has prepared is not something else, but

It is an existence that you may not have imagined."

"That's a...demon."

"A demon whose whole body is burning with fierce flames, who has returned from hell and wants to drag the world into lava purgatory again."

At that moment, Ariel was stunned.

She stayed in the distance silently, and after a long time, she turned her head and looked in the direction of Hanhai City.

Nowadays, the morning fog has dispersed slightly. Although it is still far away from Hanhai City, the faint red color emanating from the sky in the distance seems to have fully explained something...

Magic is a talent.

Since ancient times, the affinity of magic elements has been regarded as a blessing from God. It is an innate blessing that only those lucky ones who are paid attention to by the God of Light can be lucky enough to receive.

I am very lucky to have received this blessing since I was a child. From a very young age, I understood that the power I possess will bring changes to my future.

That was when I was five years old, and I was playing hide-and-seek with my playmates in the village.

None of them can compare to me, because I have always looked taller than my peers since I was a child. Maybe this is also a blessing from the elements? At least, at that time, when I was hiding behind a haystack, I patiently played hide and seek.

At that moment, the flame of luck burst out from my palm.

That day, no one in the village blamed me for burning more than a dozen haystacks.

They all thought it was because I was too young and couldn't control my strength.

But what they didn't know was that the first three of them were accidentally lit by me.

The reason why those haystacks behind burned was because I wanted to see how high the flames I controlled could reach, and whether these flames could reach the sun in the sky, and be brighter than the light of the God of Light.

of dazzling.

That was the first time I started to remember. From the beginning of my memory, magic has been integrated into it like my blood. It is impossible for me to leave my magic, let alone accept any other life.

From that time on, people in the village began to be afraid of me...or rather, they respected me and were afraid of me at the same time.

My parents were naturally very happy. A child with powerful magical power was born in a poor farmer's family, which meant that our family could rely on me to live a completely different life than before.

In fact, this is exactly what happened.

Not long after, people from the Magic Association came to our village, and after learning about my situation, they picked me up. Before leaving, they gave my parents a large sum of money.

For my parents, this is not money from selling their children. Because they will spend the rest of their lives sucking blood from me, they just used the money to buy some clothes and rent a house.

He took a carriage and followed me to the capital, a capital city that all farmers could envy, and then rented a house on the edge of the city, where I have been living as a student companion ever since.

I can see that my mother doesn't like life in the country very much, especially after she enjoys the prosperity and portability in the city, she has no idea about her own life.

The fact that he was born in a rural area is something that is kept secret.

Although my father did not reach this point, he began to buy a complete set of city people's clothes and began to imitate the way people in the city spoke. Later, he even felt that he was more superior, watching how the nobles in the city behaved.

Talk to civilians and imitate them.

As for my one brother, two younger brothers and one younger sister, they also highly praised me as an outstanding child under the education of their parents. They all looked at me with admiring eyes. I was not used to that kind of eyes at first.

But later, I gradually got used to it. Because from the moment I had the affinity with the magic element, I knew that they belonged to different species. I belong to a higher-order existence, and their only way to deal with higher-order existences is

All you can do is look at me with such admiration.

I don't hate this kind of life, I even enjoy it.

Under the arrangement of the Magic Association, I entered Lao Teng Shu Academy to learn how to better control the power in my body.

I learned how to control magic, how to create brighter, hotter flames.

My efforts paid off. At that time... no, even in the entire magic department at that time, until I graduated, there was no flame magician with more superb talents than me. If it is not limited to flame magic,

Then I believe that among all other types of magicians, I should be able to rank in a certain position.

I am proud of my flame. This is my talent and the proof that I am different. Until I studied in school until my senior year, I felt that

Gradually, I came up with a more arrogant idea.

That was the beginning of practicing my memory. Hidden behind that haystack, the moment I released the flame for the first time, I wondered if my flame could be hotter than the sun? Could I create something comparable to the God of Light?

flame?

This is arrogance, and arrogance will naturally bring some lessons.

I am very grateful, because that lesson came just in time, allowing me to deeply appreciate that the self-righteous flame in my body was actually just a small candle after all.

At that time, I came into contact with the God of Light, and because of my interest, I went to listen to several sermons from the Holy See of Light.

There was nothing special about all this until one day, I won the title of Senjun due to a magic competition in the academy, so I got a chance to meet the saint.

That time, I truly understood the greatness of the God of Light.

It was the Saint, and she made me know that the great God was only blessing me, a little human being, in such a distant place, far beyond the reach of heaven and earth, in the deep darkness of chaos.

Among them, only the light is working hard to tear through the sky, trying hard to extend its gifts to the world where I live, and bring his gentle rewards to all of us.

At that time, I understood that the affinity of magic elements in my body came from the gift of the God of Light. It was the God of Light who allowed the power of fire to enter my body, allowing me to become so unique.

From that moment on, I understood.

My flame cannot be greater than the grace of the God of Light. The more intensely I burn and want to emit more heat, then

It will only make my insignificance and ignorance more apparent.

The truly appropriate direction should be to use my flames to highlight the greatness of the God of Light. At night when the God of Light leaves, I can also use my flames to continue to promote the grace of the God of Light.

A small fire is, after all, just a small fire.

But knowing this is enough for me to savor a lifetime.

After graduation, the Magic Association asked me to go back and join the association.

But at that time, what I wanted to do was to join the Church of Light and devote my life to the God of Light.

It is a pity that the priests of the Holy See of Light must be affinity with the light element. It seems that only those with this affinity for magic can better understand the blessing and instructions of the God of Light.

The saint told me that it doesn't matter, everything doesn't matter.

As long as I have God's grace in my heart, then even in the Magic Association, I can continue to serve the God of Light with my heart. But on the outside, I need to pretend not to care about the God of Light for the time being.

Only in this way can I get more peace.

This kind of life continues, I have no dissatisfaction in my heart, only my faith becomes stronger little by little as time goes by.

Originally, I thought that this kind of life would last forever. I might work as an excellent flame magician for a hundred years, and then retire with a glorious identity. I have even thought about it, after I die

After that, I do not want to elementalize my body and return to the elements according to the tradition of magicians. Instead, I hope to be buried in the ground according to the ceremony of the Holy See, holding a book in my hand, and let everyone know that after I leave this world

I buried this

The secret of life.

This kind of life may be boring? But I am already satisfied.

However, things soon changed.

Some people, some things, made some things that should have been agreed upon... changed.

Element machine, what is this?

Why is it that the thing called the "cannon" created by this thing can release flames that are easily comparable to the best flame magician like me? It is even sometimes more powerful?

I can't understand it, let alone understand it.

Aren't magicians supposed to be the greatest beings in the world?

Aren't people who have affinity with magic elements the ones chosen by this world?

Since I was chosen by God, why would I be surpassed by such a crude thing that has no grace from God at all?

Then, one incomprehensible thing came out one after another.
To be continued...
