My Player 2

Chapter 269 Self-Defense
Unlike the situation in the first round, the panel scanned by this guy is an NPC.

Seeing that no one joined the battle immediately, the "Thief God" pointed at the stake behind him and said:
"Is this how you protect the fire of humanity? Burn a few people for fun?"

Seeing the village chief greet the outsiders, the villagers who had been hiding finally dared to show their heads and peek from behind the stone houses.

Megan Douglas spread his hands and asked the two to look at the village behind him, and said to the scholar who obviously knew a little bit:

"The humus lake outside the cave is extremely poisonous and it is impossible to grow food. The only thing the more than 100 people in the village can rely on is the mushrooms outside."

"For thousands of years, generation after generation, I have fed tens of thousands of people with them."

“Can you imagine how difficult this is?”

[Xiu Jie] took a half step back and hid behind the "Thief God" before responding:
"You burn a young girl every year? That's simply impossible."

How could he get enough fertility to feed a hundred people for a year just by burning a young girl? Even if he had the means to burn her soul, it would not be enough.

This guy must be lying.

[Xiu Jie] thinks that this guy has other ways to feed the villagers, and the evil things he did in the village were just to create undead that suited him.

Seeing this, Megan Douglas shook her head slightly and actually started to explain.

“The concept of [Virgin] can transform the female soul into a force related to fertility, so that they can be used to nourish the earth.”

"A soul with a [Noble Heart] can carry a spiritual force far beyond that of an ordinary person."

"As for the [Admirers], the villagers' admiration, jealousy, desire... all the thoughts projected onto their souls will become the power accumulated in their souls."

"I nurtured those girls, and from the moment they were born, I used their souls to accumulate power, and eventually fed that power back to the village."

"The power of the spirit can actually be transformed into matter. How great is this..."

Halfway through his boasting, Megan Douglas realized that he had lost his composure, and immediately changed his expression, saying regretfully:
"I thought humans were extinct, otherwise they wouldn't have resorted to such extreme measures."

"I know this is unethical."

"Should I sacrifice one person to save a hundred and preserve the hope of mankind, or should I watch everyone die for the sake of my own reputation?"

"I hope you can understand."

The 'Thief God' is used to drawing his weapon at the moment of attack, so at this moment his hands are empty, but he always remains ready for battle.

He tilted his head slightly, motioned for the other party to look at the two teenagers, and asked:

"What's going on with these two kids?"

Megan Douglas stared into the eyes of the "Thief God" and said with a clear conscience:

“They rejected the village’s philosophy and insisted on leaving, so I had no choice but to agree.”

"Please understand that there is not much food in the village. Before they set off, I gave them precious dried earthworm meat."

"Of course, I am responsible for this. In order to preserve the flame of civilization, I provided the villagers with basic education. That's why they have their own ideas and plan to leave here."

"If I had treated them as fools and raised them like animals, this wouldn't have happened. But in order to protect civilization..."

“Ah—” Megan Douglas sighed, “You two, I have no intention of becoming your enemy. I am willing to return to the city with you and return to the embrace of civilization.”

"If there is a trial, I only ask for a chance to defend myself."

The village chief was very humble and the two seemed unable to find a reason to refuse.

[Xiu Jie] nodded slightly, not agreeing with this guy's self-excuse, but thinking about the feasibility of the technology.

He had read the interview with the "God of Creation" by the academy and knew that spiritual power was the key to becoming a "God". The so-called "divine power" was a kind of spiritual power that mortals could not use.

This guy's burning ritual transformed the divine power that only "God" and "priests" could use into fertility for the mushroom forest.

This is a step from 0 to 1.

You know, the essence of the "divine magic" in the academy is nothing more than using magic power to imitate the effects of divine magic.

It's like using "lighter" instead of "fire-starting technique".

[Megan Douglas] This guy is a true genius.

It is not difficult to imagine that if he were brought back to the Thirteen Cities Alliance, there would be no so-called trial at all. He would be snatched away by the Magic Academy at the first opportunity, and after deliberation, he would receive the top funding and support, and could even open up a new school.

By then, perhaps countless people will be eager to join his school and share in the benefits of his research results.

As the person who brought him back, the benefits he could gain from it...

Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.

"We are from the Thirteen Cities Alliance, which is a large city with tens of millions of people." The 'Thief God's' tone was much more relaxed. "He and I wandered around the world just to find survivors and bring them all back to the alliance."

"You'd better not resist and come back to the alliance with us. If you can defend yourself successfully, you may even be able to join the magic academy."

Megan Douglas looked delighted and said excitedly, "That's great, I can leave with you anytime!"

Seeing that the other party did not resist, "Thief God" breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand to "Xiu Jie" and said:
"Since there is no danger, return my teleportation scroll to me."

"Your teleportation scroll?" [Xiu Jie] was stunned, not understanding how this thing became his.

The 'Thief God' took the initiative and urged: "I just lent it to you. I bought it at a high price. Don't even think about stealing my things again!"

After all, they had been companions for 4 days, so Xiu Jie immediately understood what he meant. He pouted and said "How stingy", and reluctantly returned the large teleportation scroll to this guy.

This scroll can transport people up to 300 kilometers away, and the materials used to make it are extremely rare.

[Megan Douglas] smiled as she looked at the magic scroll in the hands of the "Thief God", wondering what she was thinking.

The rest is easy.

The "Thief God" wants to take all the villagers away. Although he has to cross a poisonous pool, he has a lot of magic scrolls on him, so taking these people away is not a problem.

Xiu Jie followed Megan Douglas and introduced him to the magic academy as a college student.

At such a close distance, if Megan wanted to, she could kill Xiujie at any time.

But he really meant no harm.

This guy was really interested in the academy and asked a lot of details. Xiu Jie answered all of them one by one. After all, he really lived there for 3 years.

The more she asked, the hotter Megan Douglas became.

The details cannot be faked, and he can now be sure that there is a prosperous civilization behind these two guys, and there is a magic academy.

"Hey, Xiujie, the return trip will probably take a week, is there anything——"

The busy "Thief God" who was helping the villagers pack their luggage came over and suddenly grabbed Megan Douglas's shoulder.

With a flash of white light, the two were teleported to a place 300 kilometers away.

Xiu Jie looked at the two people who disappeared, shrugged his shoulders, and said to himself, "As expected."
