Chapter 20: Their Wishes(1/2)

"Gorgon, is it that hard to just change the trajectory of life a little?"

The quiet mountainside hut was originally a place where hunters were supplying and resting before entering the mountain, or the last resting place for adventurers who went into the mountains to collect herbs and hunt monsters in winter.

However, due to the Dragon Ball War, almost all ordinary people have moved to cities and areas further south. There may be many people in Maia City, but the villages in the north have already fled, so these no one has become the best hidden places.

At this time, the wandering wizard Evelyn was sitting next to the fire in the middle of the hut.

The lady who originally had thick lenses took off the glasses that were just for disguise. She squinted her light purple snake eyes and watched the fire beating blankly, and couldn't help but murmur.

"The Dragon Ball War is such a terrible thing... The real battle is so difficult..."

Although the side facing the fire is warm and comfortable, the female mage's back is only cold and harsh. She stretched out her hand and adjusted the position of the firewood. Her tone was filled with fear and helplessness: "The feeling of being killed as long as you get close... is really terrifying..."

At this moment, she couldn't help but recall the situation before that she was almost shot directly by an arrow from outside the sky just to investigate the situation.

Although I was prepared for changing my position with an ice crystal substitute and was not directly hit, the subsequent battle between Zhuzhou and Yemengard made Evelyn, who was already a little confident, immediately doubted the possibility of winning.

It seems that neither I nor Gorgon... Is it impossible for anyone to beat me?

No, no, not only no one can beat the other party, it seems that by relying solely on the summoner, you can beat your own set alone!

She recognized Mikhail, the most powerful bounty hunter in the empire. The opponent's record included not limited to the fact that one person wiped out the twenty-seven rebellious villages entrenched in the western mountains, and killed eleven giant sea snakes on the eastern coast alone. He even took the order to assassinate the military and political minister Conasimir, scaring the big man who ranks one of the top of the empire to retract into the house of the imperial capital, and has not dared to leave the imperial capital until now.

Can you really live for two days when you face such a character?

This kind of suspicious thought was just looming at the beginning, but when all the Dragon Ball holders gathered on the banks of the Bullfrozen Lake, Evelyn, who had also wanted to show up, was afraid to retreat and dared not step forward.

Others are the Dragon Destroying Yemengard, the Dragon of God-killing Dragon Zhuzhou, Yinglong, who also fought against the master of the soldiers, as well as the famous dragon and snake in various myths and legends, even including a feathered snake god at the main god level.

But she said that Gorgon is not weak, but even if he is not strong, even if he counts various epic legends, the origin of Gorgon is nothing more than one of the giant spirits born to Gaia, who was eventually killed by the female war god Athena and became the other party's shield and armor.

Faced with those gods who kill gods and destroy the world at any time, and even themselves are the source of all things, a main god...

How to say it? It's a bit like a superpower battle. The enemies are time stopping, time rewinding, and time deleting, while their own ability is to control the stairs.

No matter what I think, it is too exaggerated... But what is even more exaggerated is that the feathered snake god was killed and left the field a few seconds before the battle began. The subsequent battle between the other three dragons and snakes collapsed the entire Bullish Lake, and the magma even spilled into an area more than ten kilometers away.

If Gorgon hadn't suggested that she could find an opportunity to sneak attack the Dragon Ball holders who had ended the battle, Evelyn wanted to throw the Dragon Ball and return to her hometown to be a mediocre scholar.

But even so, the sneak attack was not successful. The subsequent war between Zhuzhou and Yinglong made her not even have the chance to have the next chance.

The scenes of the two dragons fighting each other made Evelyn's legs even weaker... The violent actions of tearing open flesh and blood, stabbing each other with bones, breaking the dragon's horns, crushing the ribs, and extremely ferocious face and every move made Evelyn feel fear.

Until Zhuzhou broke off his body and left, and Yinglong was injured by Zhuzhou's self-explosion of five labors and seven things, Evelyn had no courage to go and pick up the bargain.

She felt that even Ying Long, who was seriously injured so much that he only breathed a breath, was enough to easily kill her weak self.

It is precisely because of this that Evelyn finally understood why her teacher said that she was not suitable to be a mage.

The female mage couldn't help but bit her lower lip and recalled the past.

"The mage is not a profession sitting in the back. You must learn to judge the situation calmly, conceive the most efficient plan in the shortest time, and then perform it with absolutely no mistakes!"

In the serious university, the one-eyed teacher who survived the Southern Elf War more than a decade ago declared the basic qualities of the profession of mage in a cold tone.

When he walked to a nervous and slightly trembling female student, his eyes suddenly became disgusted, and his tone also turned into fierce anger.

"Evelyn! You are talking about you. You are still pretty good at exams. You will lose the chain of Ice Crystal Phantom as soon as you arrive in the actual combat class. It takes you five seconds to cast such a simple life-saving spell? For such a long time, it's enough for those pointed ears to rush over and chop you into more than a dozen pieces of meat!"

"But, but..."

At that time, the female mage grabbed the notes in her hand, and she wanted to refute it. For example, the monsters in actual combat were so scary. You should know that the creatures she had seen since she was a child, except humans, were the largest black-backed dogs raised by her neighbors. It was normal to be scared when she saw such a terrifying creature for the first time?

For example, the sun was too big on the day of the actual combat class, and her eyes were blurred. The magic was mobilized several times, otherwise she would be the slowest and could complete the casting within one second...

However, even she herself couldn't say these reasons, and what is the difference between being too hard and being too soft? Whether it is her hideous face or environment, these are part of the actual combat.

But even so, the female mage is still a little aggrieved... The Elf War has ended for more than ten or twenty years, so why do you still have to use wartime requirements to ask them? Isn’t the mage a profession for studying magic? Especially since the industrialization of magic energy has been so prosperous recently, she can be a magic energy engineer instead of a military tactic.

With such unwillingness, after the course, the female mage was taken into the office by the silent teacher.

She originally thought she would be scolded, but the serious and cold one-eyed man in class spoke up and asked her to sit down and served a cup of hot milk.

"Evelyn...Your grades are indeed good."

Sitting opposite Evelyn, the man raised his head and looked at the at a loss-watching female mage. He took a sip of tea and said tiredly: "But you are really not suitable for this profession."

"I can see that you are resistant to actual combat classes... Do you think war has nothing to do with you? No, child, if war comes, it will have something to do with all of us. Everyone in this school will be forced to be recruited and sent to the front line. By then, only one person will die in a school, and that is not a strange thing."

This former teacher, who was a student, said to Evelyn in an intriguing and bitter tone: "Do you really think that this kind of mage school for the common people is to educate the kind of 'strategic magic engineer' who can build an industrial production line from beginning to end? That is all nobles and wealthy people are qualified to learn. Schools like ours are 'spoke casters' with combat magic functions. Of course, they will also cultivate some knowledge of magic engineering, but that is because there are also various alchemy equipment on the battlefield."

"We all have to go to the front line after all. Now there are no elves, and there are dwarves in a few years. Without dwarves, we will still go fishing people. As long as the population of the empire cannot decline, the war will not stop for a moment. As long as the system of this world is not innovated, the war will never change..."

"Oh, why do I tell you this? You haven't experienced war, so how can you understand... But Evelyn, I can see that you have the talent to learn magic, but you were born in the wrong era, in this world full of war and chaos... you can't survive."

Said this, the one-eyed man closed his eyes, took a breath, and said solemnly: "Give up this profession."

"Exit school."

In the eyes of Evelyn being at a loss and subconsciously pinching the corner of her skirt, he turned his head and stopped looking at her female student, and then continued coldly: "I have applied for the program for you, and I'll be ready to drop out. The school will refund the tuition fee and will also collect your internship mage qualification certificate... Go home and be an ordinary person."

At least in this way, as an ordinary person, you can survive.

"As long as I give up the Dragon Ball and stop continuing, I can go back and be an ordinary person."

Memories and reality intertwined. The former teacher's voice, whether it was a cold or gentle voice, eventually overlapped with Evelyn's own voice.

In the mountain hut in the north, the wandering mage muttered to herself, and her tone was full of loss: "In the end, the teacher was not wrong... I used to think that the teacher was extremely disappointed with me, but now it seems... he is really for my own good."

Because of the war, the war never ends.

At this time, Evelyn was really thinking about how to give up, give up the Dragon Ball, give up the opportunity to change her destiny, give up everything given by the Dragon Ball, turn her head and become an ordinary person.

However, she still felt a little unwilling.

Acknowledge your mediocrity, admit your incompetence, admit that you are wrong, and the path you want to take will not work.

How could you feel willing to admit it all...!

And just as this unwillingness echoed in the soul, a hoarse female voice sounded from behind the female mage.

"My Summoner."

The phantom of the snake's hair appeared behind Evelyn, and the giant's words with some contempt and contempt also came out.

"With your qualities, it is impossible to become a hero."

"If you don't have enough hard power, you can attack sneakily, and you are not proficient in combat skills, then you can play tricks. If you can't beat them, you can poison them, you can pretend to be an alliance, and then back-sting... Heroes are not synonyms for perfection, and not all heroes are powerful. In the face of difficulties and strong enemies, they will use small tricks at least in my world, and this is the case."

"But when you encounter difficulties, the first thing you think is to escape and deny, and even unwilling to admit reality... Evelyn, you do not have the courage and belief, want to change your destiny, but do not have the awareness of giving your life for it. How could you get the chance to win in this battlefield of fighting for each other's wishes?"

Even though he said this, Gorgon's snake hair gently stroked Evelyn's head, monster, Gorgon, and stared at himself with his eyes on his snake hair, who was very excited at the summoning place, but now he is extremely decadent.

She said bluntly: "But, Evelyn, I have seen many heroes and gods. They may be dazzling on the surface, but in fact they all have their own shortcomings. On the other hand, you may not have the qualifications to become great people."

“But, you still have something you are good at.

For example, it is hard to imagine that your ice magic is so skillful at a young age. Except for the first time you were discovered, when you peek at the dragons in battle, they all knew nothing about it. Indeed, you are not far away from actual combat, but if you really plan completely, with your and my strength, you may not be able to cause damage to those high-ranking dragons and demons, or severely damage them."

Although he was a monster, Gorgon's words were very rational. Under the comfort of this earthly spirit born to Earth Mother, although Evelyn still had self-doubt in her eyes, she gradually felt a sense of ruthlessness in her heart.

"Yes...even if you are defeated and die, you can't do this..."

She murmured to herself in such a low voice, but her tone gradually became calm: "As an ordinary person, I went back to my hometown and passed mediocre life, and then died... If I die like this, I might still die in the hands of the dragon, and it is more like a 'magic'."

"And my specialty..."

Thinking about this question, Evelyn was a little confused at first, but soon, she seemed to think of something, and her expression was a little enlightened, and the light purple snake eyes began to flash with light that could make all creatures petrified.

In this world, everyone has their own stories, their own lives, and their own ways of thinking.

However, everyone cannot understand each other, cannot respect each other, and cannot even understand each other at all.

Not to mention class and class, race and race.

The priest Matvey, who was flew in the air in the north, flew through mountains and peaks. His eyes swept across large areas of empty villages and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Even if you pay attention, it will affect ordinary people. The losses caused by migration in winter are really immeasurable... I don't know how many families will become extremely poor, and their hometown will be razed to the ground by our battle..."

It was not out of hypocrisy, but the real feeling of empathy. The priest briefly closed his eyes, then opened them again, and turned firm: "But fortunately, as long as a while ago, you will no longer have to worry about such trivial matters."

Soon, Matvey arrived at the Hunter's Lodge outside a mountainous area.

That is, the location of a dragon ball holder.

"Surrender, Evelyn."

Standing high above the sky, looking down at the small wooden house beneath him, he said, his tone calm and uninterrupted: "Don't be surprised why I know your name, because your dragon ball is what we give you, no matter how hard you hide, it is useless. I can find your place at any time."

He issued a notice of persuasion to surrender directly. Although the injuries on his body have not yet healed and Yinglong is not completely physical, Matve is very confident that not to mention Gorgon's magic eyes correspond to high-level dragon blood such as the Dragon and himself. The existence effect of extremely high resistance will be discounted. He knows Evelyn and Gorgon's power even beyond their own.

Even the other party would go to the north because of the inducement he and the second prince jointly carried out. After all, if the Dragon Ball War wants to begin, one person must hold one dragon ball. If they hold multiple dragon balls, they will naturally give these extra dragon balls to those who are talented and able to summon dragons but have no combat ability.

This way, they can easily regain these dragon balls.

According to Matvey's guess, Evelyn should have been frightened by the tragic dragon war at this time... In fact, the tragic degree of this war was beyond his own expectations. Both Zhuzhou and Yemengard were extremely difficult and would be overturned by accident. Fortunately, these two sides now withdrew and the other suffered heavy damage. They all had a high chance of withdrawing from the stage of the Dragon Ball battle. In addition to Gorgon, only Favner on Vika was left.

On Favner's side, Kumore will deal with it. Although the demon dragon is immortal, Leviathan's pure power is better than all magical weapons and weapons. When neither side has any special abilities, it is only a matter of time before the giant beast defeats the demon dragon.

As long as you recycle this dragon ball, all dragon balls will be recycled by them except for Zhuzhou who was hiding severely.

Victory and success of the plan are only one step away.

Thinking of this, Matvey couldn't help but feel excited in his heart and planned the plan for more than ten years. Now he is finally about to succeed. From then on, he can complete his ideal world.

However, for some reason, there was no meaning of replying in the hut in the mountain.

Whether it was persuading surrender or intimidation, Evelyn did not speak out no matter what Matve said.

Although the priest was extremely patient, he did not just talk or not. So after sighing, he raised his hand and began to condense a huge power that could break a mountain with the light yellow dragon that appeared behind him.

However, just as he and Ying Long began to mobilize the power of the celestial phenomena, Matve White Dragon immediately sensed something was wrong.
To be continued...
