The believers of the savior and the ancestors of the Acate family are rivals who have fought life and death since the second era. In the crisis of the collapse of the ancient Austin Empire, the fallen were disappeared, and the Alder clan was divided into seven, but in reality Neither party has disappeared in history since then.
The main line of the Alder family turned into Akat who went to the religious country to seek refuge, and the Fallen gradually appeared as the human world developed again. In fact, hundreds of years ago, Roy was in the troubled times before and after the alien war. It is their active period.
Roy and Layton, this pair can be said to be the strongest of the younger generation at the time, and they are quite sympathetic, but after starting a parade together, they naturally have a fight with the fallen.
"You should have been targeted. Things are a bit troublesome. It's hard to let go of being bitten by them."
"Bite? This is a talk of experience?"
"Well, Roy's investigation seemed to have severely irritated them back then, leading us to be hunted down and almost killed several times, but luckily we defeated the enemy in the end."
Thinking back to the difficult journey when he was young, the white-haired old man couldn't help sighing, and because of this he had a deep impression of the fallen, and Roja was secretly surprised when he heard the experience of the two.
Roy and Layton, one has countless lives, the other is physically strong enough to be almost indestructible, both of them can be said to be the chosen sons of that era, allowing them to encounter multiple dangers. This shows that the strength of the enemy is probably better than It is more powerful than expected.
The black-haired boy was secretly guarded in his heart, and in front of him, the white-haired old man asked a strange question after thinking for a long time.
"Are there anyone else in this generation of Akats' Awakeners?"
"Hey? No, I'm the only one, what's the matter?" Website m. .
"It's nothing, it's okay if you are alone, otherwise, according to their style, they may start with other people who have the blood of the Acate family."
"!"
Leyton seemed to say this with peace of mind, but Roja’s golden pupils suddenly shrank when he heard the old man’s words. Roja did not have any brothers or sisters, but the Acate family’s blood didn’t have to be surnamed Akat.
Thinking of the girl with black hair and purple eyes and cold face, strong worries could not help but rise from the heart of the young man. Although as the Austin Empire and the [kingdom] origins are hidden, Lilian may not be discovered very much, but from Judging from the fact that the Fallen have long been enemies with the Acate family, no one knows what peculiar means they will have.
"Then what should be done is done, and I almost have to go back."
While Roja was thinking, the thunder on the tall old man's body gradually extinguished, and the muscles that seemed to stretch the clothes also contracted, and seeing Layton like this, Roja hurriedly expressed gratitude.
Although Roja is now seriously injured because of the old man, this is nothing compared to the fact that Layton has kept Acate’s belongings for hundreds of years at the risk of being spotted by the fallen, but for the young representative Thanks to the Akate family, Layton himself didn't think he had done anything important.
"I just fulfilled the agreement back then, but I didn't expect that it took so many years for the next Awakened in your family to appear, but fortunately, there was no accident, and your strength was enough to take over smoothly."
"If you have any other questions, you can come to Nishizawa to lead me, but I won't need to fight next time."
The white-haired old man Yun Danfeng waved his hand gently. After leaving this sentence, he hurriedly left again. Looking at the flickering thunder light in the distance, Luo Ya couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and peace of mind.
Obviously, Layton’s last words stated that he would not cut off contact with the Acate family because of the completion of Roy’s commission that year, but was willing to re-establish contact, whether it was because of a former close friend or because of Roja’s strength. His recognition is a good thing for the Acate family.
The legendary characters of Source Level 1 turned enemies into friends. This unexpected ending can be said to be a pleasant surprise for the black-haired teenager. After the crisis was resolved, Roja's body was finally unable to support it, and he was able to rebuild it with the help of Alisa. Go back to the forest.
-------------------------------------------------- ---
After a whole night of recovery, the black-haired boy's physical condition was generally stabilized, and on the other side, according to the investigating soldiers, the Nishizawa Army showed signs of retreat.
Roja is not surprised at this point. In fact, when Leighton’s figure appeared on the front line, the Austin Empire’s plan was basically bankrupt. After all, no one would think that the Nishizawa Army with source level 1 combat effectiveness would Aid is needed, and if troops are sent, the actions of the Austin Empire will also turn into naked aggression, and the nations such as Rose, who are waiting for the opportunity at that time, will have a reason to intervene.
Roja, who has a lot of affairs, is not interested in this kind of power game between big powers, but what worries him is whether Layton's actions will offend the Aqiman family, but after thinking about it carefully, this matter is for this. A legendary figure does not seem to be a big deal. It is more in line with the position of a jihadist hero to say that he has come forward to stop it.
After returning, Roja put on his gloves again, and carefully studied the crystals that have been passed down from generation to generation by the awakened people of the Akats family, and discovered that the ring in it may have a history far earlier than the second era, but whether it is its owner or belonging Even the knowledgeable Altasia said that he had never seen it before.
For this, Roja feels normal. After all, the ring is a kind of personal belongings. It is impossible to take out a witch king and recognize it. However, to the boy’s surprise, the problem of the material is that the ancient gods are not the same. Roja was equally unsure, Petra suggested to open the crystal and let her inspect it, but Roja rejected it after considering it.
What Roja wants to know most now is not the origin of this ring, but its meaning. Although he knows that it should be a catalyst for historical fragments, what is the use of just a catalyst? The ancient gods that may be encountered when entering the historical fragments either have their holy relics on their bodies, or are random, and have nothing to do with the historical fragments, or can you gain something just by entering
In addition, there is no explanation for the time of use of this item. The difficulty of the historical fragments varies. If you enter when the strength is low, it will be very dangerous. Although Roy said that at least he must be able to damage Layton to keep this crystal. , But Layton's strength itself is a variable. If so, Roja should have just reached the target.
Moreover, this crystal has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is an important thing related to the Acate family. It is really puzzling. Is the fate of a family so fragile
"My elder brother, you... are you getting smaller?"
"Hey?"
Behind the frowning and contemplative Roja, the silver-haired girl came over with a teacup in her hand, her red eyes staring intently at Roja on the chair as if time had gone back two years, but after hearing Alyssa’s words, black The boy with hair also reacted, raising his arms and he found that his clothes were a lot bigger and his hair was a little longer.
"Oh, really? But this time the effect is relatively light, and it shouldn't last long."
The black-haired boy felt his body and said that because of the early time when Layton stopped, Roja’s [Eclipse Breath] skills did not last long, and the side effects of the limitations on thinking ability did not occur. Time has gone back only for about one or two years. Generally speaking, it is not a big problem. Instead, bone fractures and internal bleeding have become more serious.
The black-haired boy didn't care about it, and continued to think about the secret of the crystal, but on the other side, the silver-haired girl was already flushed, and her breathing was a little quick.
This is the elder brother who is the same age as me!
Looking at the young man in front of him, Alisha was extremely excited. In the girl's eyes, Roja, whose body time had fallen back, was a limited-time collector's edition. Unlike last time, Roja is the only one beside her.
"My elder brother, can you please stand up?"
"Huh? It can be, but what exactly are you going to do?"
Hearing Alisha's request, Roja got up from the chair, and the girl put the tea cup in her hand aside, walked to the boy's back and stood upright against Roja.
"... or the older brother is taller."
"So you care about this? In that case, you were much taller than me last time."
"It's not fair to have different ages, but I actually saw my underage brother again, hum."
Thinking of the girl here, the corners of her mouth were happily curled up. The black-haired teenager began to poke Roya's cheek lightly with his fingers. Roya sighed helplessly without paying too much attention to Alyssa's rare prank. It's better to say that he had anticipated this when he broke the vows of the past and used [Breath of Eclipse] again.
Degraded version of Roja, old toy man.
Feeling Alisa's excitement and closeness, the black-haired boy did not stop speaking. After all, the girl had really worked too hard during this time.
Having gone through the war and also been on the battlefield as a commander, this situation is impossible without pressure. In the short period of time when the body is slightly smaller, it would be good if Alisa can release the accumulated pressure. .
The boy who was thinking this way was rubbed against her cheek by Alisha, and as the two got close, Roja also thought of a question.
At that time, surrounded by [Breath of Eclipse], how did Alisa get in? Normally, ordinary transfer spells should not be able to break through the wind of dusk.
"Huh? Brother sir?"
"... No, it's nothing."
Facing the girl with her little head tilted and her face in doubt, Roja was silent for a moment, shook her head and said with a smile, suppressing the question.
Forget it, it's not an important thing, it doesn't hurt to be stronger, it's better to say that the stronger the better, instead of thinking about this, it is better to think about this heirloom.
Stroking the quaint box, Luo Ya sighed and continued his research. After Leyton and Luo Ya talked, the war entered a timeout.
On the day of the arrival of Roja’s reinforcements, Nishizawa’s army pulled back and pulled away. Then the two sides died down. This kind of day when both the enemy and the enemy were immobile continued for two days. During the period, there was no communication between the two sides, but they seemed to have a strong heart. In three days, emergency military information came from the front line, which also marked the end of the war.
The city of Edgar was breached.
When the long-awaited news was spread to the front lines, the camp was almost naturally noisy. The soldiers talked about waiting for the news from the headquarters, and the black-haired teenager in the camp was reading the battle report.
In the past few days when Alyssa and Roja fought against the Nishizawa army, the direction of the main battlefield has not been idle. Cartier, who is worried about the children, formulated a general offensive strategy after several trials. Before launching an offensive, the allied forces of the Church successfully found a breakthrough after a day and night of fierce fighting, and boarded the city of Edgar.
After part of the wall was lost, the morale of the defenders of Edgar City plummeted, and the defeat quickly began. The city gate was opened from the inside by the coalition forces in the early morning of the next day, and the Fortified City, once known as the fortress that never fell, fell completely. And with the city of Edgar being breached, this war mixed with the ambitions of the Austin Empire finally came to an end.
When Roja announced the news of the victory of the war, huge cheers rang out in the camp, and as the news spread, the Nishizawa army completely retired that afternoon.
Regarding the retreat of the Nishizawa Army, Roja and others did not say anything, but silently watched the floating flag looming in the distance on the hillside.
In any case, the two sides have fought before and have not signed an armistice agreement. From the official standpoint, they are clear enemies. Although I am grateful for Leyton Roja, the old man also said that he can go to him, but now this time The point is too sensitive, Roja's visit is likely to cause trouble to the other party.
Considering that the Aqiman family's plan has just been frustrated, it is better not to stir their sensitive nerves for the time being, and after the enemy left, the black-haired boy finally came home in a triumphant manner.
As the enemy retreats, Roja and Alisa also led the army away from the border. At this time, the boy’s injuries have not fully recovered, but fortunately the side effects of [Eclipse Breath] have passed, and in the disgusting war After that, it was time for Luo Ya to complete the purpose of this visit.
-------------------------------------------------- -----
A few days later, in the castle of the Eric family, the black-haired boy wandered through it. Cynthia and others, who were heavily armed around him, were alert. The identification of the cultists slowly opened the door to the tasting meeting of the largest cult organization in the country.
It is a world built in the mirror spell, the magic object relying on is the entire castle in the real world. With this huge magic object, the tasting will be able to construct a mirror world, and its entrances and exits are just a few in the castle. The mirror of the room.
The key positions in this old castle of the Eric family are all held by cultists, so there has been no publicity, but after entering several inquisitor teams through the mirror and confirming that there is no danger, Roja finally stepped in. This is a foreign land built by an old enemy.
At the beginning of the war, after the news of Brian's death came, the members of the tasting club scattered and fled. Now there is no one here, but it becomes more expansive.
The door of the warehouse where the funds was stored opened, the valuables in the curse storage room had been looted by the escaped cultists, and the list of items in the auction hall was scattered all over the place, but there was no interest in these Rojas.
No matter whether it is a stolen money or a bloody curse, Roja will only be unhappy. He came here for only one real purpose, and that is the trace of the [collector], but what Roja did not expect was that the search started at the very beginning In trouble—the [collector]’s room disappeared strangely.
As a spiritual leader who has never appeared in front of the public, the disappearance of the [collector] room almost cut off all clues. This is naturally unacceptable to Roja, but fortunately, the captured cultist confessed the approximate scope of his room. Vatican personnel then found traces of space spells there and began to try to restore them, but the results were not ideal.
"Master Loya, this cultist destroyed this place before leaving, plus the question of time, so..."
Listening to the words of the bishop beside him, the black-haired boy was silent while stroking the half-destroyed white statue, watching the empty room grow colder and colder.
Since the existence of this room itself was a product of space spells, almost everything was lost after the owner deliberately destroyed the space. Even after restoration, only the remains of tables and chairs and the remaining statues remain.
Obviously, the enemy is a cautious person. The wreckage of the table and chair is useless. The only clue is the statue. The scene created by this statue is also familiar to Roja. It was Noelle who met him in the sea of blood on the corpse mountain. The scene is only different from reality in that Luo Ya himself in the sculpture has also fallen.
"Sculpture prediction... hand it over to a sculpture appraiser, and try to find the creator."
"Yes."
After thinking about it for a long time, the black-haired teenager who gave the order softly sighed. Although it is only a half-ruined prophetic sculpture, the artwork will more or less have some personal characteristics. Although the possibility is small, according to the details of the carving technique, It is still possible to find a sculptor, which is the only clue about [collector] nowadays.
After checking the tasting headquarters, Roja left Edgar City, looking back at the war-torn city, the black-haired boy felt a lot.
Since the dramatic changes in the East Tuck Fortress, Roja's life has deviated from the normal track. The fateful battle with Brian and the secret prying of the fallen have made him vigilant like a cloud. The next war between nations The conspiracy made him even more unhappy, but fortunately, everything has passed and Roja's life will be back on track.
As if to shake off bad luck, the black-haired boy was silent for a moment, stroked the quaint box on his chest and turned and left.
