In the small and crowded grocery store of Enleco's house, Fianna wandered around doing nothing. It was hard for her to imagine that there was such a dull and monotonous lifestyle in the world, let alone that Enleco could endure it so far.
But thinking about it in reverse, Fianna suddenly understood why the elves would decline.
In addition to the fact that these guys don't know how to create, it seems that every elf is an idle guy with nothing to do.
What's ridiculous is that humans still think that elves are a hard-working, kind and harmonious race. These guys are just extremely diligent when moving their favorite things. One elf can easily move a surprisingly large number of items.
Fianna felt very bored, but she didn't want to go back to the small and low bedroom. Now she finally understood why Enleco was so short and delicate.
That bedroom is really too short. It would be very inconvenient if it grows too tall. And although people don't rely on light as much as plants, they will also suffer from stunted growth if they are always kept in that room that looks like a storage room.
Fianna felt that she had nowhere to go, and she didn't want to go outside. She didn't like to be the object of public viewing.
In fact, Sophie's benefactor's curious ways made her quite disgusted.
In the Kingdom of Kaoqi, when a celebrity appears in public, he will be immediately surrounded by everyone. It is roughly the same in Laiding, except that the people of Laiding will politely clear the way for the celebrity.
But Sophien people are completely different. They will never gather around you as if it is rude or too barbaric, but they will secretly stare at you from windows, street corners, and behind flower beds with voyeuristic eyes.
This inexplicable custom made Fianna, who was once a member of the Controller organization, feel uncomfortable all over.
She glanced at the guys standing outside who were secretly staring at her through the window of the grocery store, and then glanced at the travelers who were sitting nearby and drinking tea, but glanced at her from time to time. .
A feeling of powerlessness came to Fianna's heart.
She really couldn't bear it anymore, maybe it would be better to stay with this crazy girl Xiling.
Fianna knew exactly where Xi Ling was.
Last night, while lying on the bed, Xi Ling kept guessing what Enleco and Chris would do when they were lying on the same bed.
This boring guy suddenly guessed that Enleco would "make" Chris unable to get out of bed the next day (Xiling herself had experienced this several times, and she had all brought it upon herself). After a while, she guessed that Enleco definitely didn't have the guts to sleep on the floor, or Chris tore open the space and threw him in (Fianna guessed that the latter was more likely).
So early in the morning she got into the bedroom where Enleco and Chris slept last night to collect clues.
Fianna reluctantly discovered that it was a pity that Xi Ling gave up her career as a controller. This guy was naturally cunning and liked to spy on other people's private parts. There was really no one more suitable to be a controller than her.
Quietly entering the bedroom, Fianna saw Xi Ling standing blankly in front of the dressing table, holding a necklace in her hand.
"What's wrong?" Fianna took a look behind Xi Ling.
She recognized that this necklace should originally belong to Xi Ling, because she often saw Xi Ling wearing this necklace, of course, those were very formal occasions. This necklace was very expensive, and the hanging chain was made of extremely Carefully crafted from rare cloud gold, the pendant hanging at the top of the necklace is an extremely pure fire diamond. The emblem of the Roland family is carved into the interior of the fire diamond using exquisite air-permeability techniques.
"I remember that you didn't take this necklace with you when you escaped from the headquarters. Could it be that the organization already knew that we had returned to Enleco's hometown? Did Todd send it here on purpose? Is this a warning?" Fei Anna immediately thought of countless possibilities, and her mind was spinning rapidly as she immediately thought of countermeasures.
"No, this is not my necklace. There are four such necklaces in the Roland family. The center of the family emblem engraved on the pendant of my necklace is a lotus, which represents the hot summer, and this necklace is engraved with It's a chrysanthemum, representing the bleak autumn wind." Xiling said seriously.
"What does this mean?" Fianna felt a little confused. She didn't know much about the Roland family, but she was absolutely certain that no one in the organization would make such a serious mistake.
Xiling frowned and said, "For the Roland family, these four necklaces have a special meaning. They are often used to arrange the order of the descendants of the Roland family."
"Only four, it's not enough." Fianna interjected.
"The fertility efficiency of the descendants of the Roland family has never been improved, and it seems that the shortage of resources has only occurred twice." Xiling shook her head and said.
"Then according to what you said, the original owner of this necklace should be your long-missing aunt." Fianna finally understood the reason for Xi Ling's surprise.
"My aunt, the second daughter of the Roland family did not disappear, but defected, at least from the information it seems so." Xiling said slowly: "The organization just started investigating this matter not long ago. I heard that my My aunt has been found, and she also has a son. The person who told me the news also said that my cousin has been recruited into the organization, you should understand what that means."
Fianna nodded. She had always had a deep understanding of the organization's practices. In fact, she was originally one of the elite controllers who strictly adhered to these principles.
"Is this a clear warning? Your aunt who has been defecting for twenty years was eventually captured by the organization, so we are not immune to it either?" Fianna asked with a frown. She was concerned about the organization's methods. Know very clearly.
"The easiest way is to ask Todd directly. He is the person in charge of the organization's contact point here. He should know the details, and he should also be a suitable negotiator. My mother wants me as her daughter. No matter how ruthless she is, there is always a trace of family affection. If she knows that I have controlled Enleco, and that guy has promised to help when necessary, it seems unreasonable for the organization to continue to pursue us. "Xiling shrugged her shoulders and said pretending to be relaxed, but she also knew very well that people in the organization rarely care about family ties, because after being in it for a long time, they either become cold-blooded or can't bear the terrible pressure. Completely depressed by the melancholy atmosphere.
The only thing that Xi Ling can use as a bargaining chip, apart from the infinitely valuable treasure Enleco, is the blood of the Roland family flowing in her body. The Kingdom of Leiding has a pathological obsession with the reproduction and continuation of this blood, and even It has reached the edge of madness, and it is all because of that ancient prophecy.
Just as Xi Ling and Fianna were thinking hard and looking for a solution, suddenly Enleco's father walked in, holding an old and damaged saddle in his hand.
Seeing Xiling holding the necklace in her hand and playing with it, Enleco's father snatched the necklace away. His expression was a little flustered, completely different from his usual unhurried look.
As if he knew something was wrong, Enleco's father smiled apologetically at the stunned Xi Ling, and said softly: "I'm sorry to scare you, but this necklace is the only one I care about besides Enleco. It is one of the only two souvenirs left to me by Enleco’s mother.”
Enleco's father didn't notice that before he said this, Xiling was still a little stunned by the sudden fright. When he finished speaking, both Xiling and Fianna seemed to be frozen instantly. Generally, he stood there stiffly and motionless, with his mouth open so much that he could never close it.
Looking at Enleco's father's affectionate look, Xi Ling and Fianna were absolutely certain that there was no hypocrisy in it.
But this is too hard to believe.
Almost at the same time, the only reasonable explanation popped into their minds.
Xiling suddenly remembered what the old housekeeper said to her when she was at the headquarters.
The old housekeeper told himself at that time that the organization had found the second daughter of the Roland family. She was now living an ordinary life, and she had a son who was about the same age as himself. The organization had already transferred the blood heir who also had the blood of the Roland family. Got it in the headquarters.
"And I see that person often." Xiling murmured to herself. Now she finally understood who the old housekeeper was referring to. No wonder she reviewed all the newly recruited members in the headquarters. But no one was found who met the conditions.
The blood heir was not recruited at all, but captured into the headquarters, and the one who lured him into the trap was himself - another blood heir of the Roland family.
Fianna also guessed this possibility. The reason why she didn't connect this matter with Enleco just now was just because her thoughts were all focused on the organization. What's more, she combined this matter with Enleco. It is obviously unbelievable that Co. is involved.
But now it seems that there is only one explanation for everything.
Fianna stared blankly at her closest friend.
Xi Ling also looked at Fianna blankly.
This news was indeed too surprising for both of them. Enleco was actually Xi Ling's cousin. He actually had the blood of the Roland family flowing in his body. He was also a descendant of the Roland family and was also affected by the evil. The curse of the ancestor Hades, Helis.
"No wonder that guy is so unlucky. He must not know his life experience." Fianna murmured to herself.
Now it was Enleco's father's turn to stand by and be stunned. He didn't know what the two girls were mumbling to themselves. They were all things he couldn't understand.
…
The grocery store closed early just after it opened. For Enleco's father, whose life is as fixed and accurate as an hourglass, this is a unique thing. Even if his son who was traveling yesterday suddenly returned home, the father would not wait until After sending away the last customer, he closed the door of the shop.
Enleco's father sat silently in the living room, holding the necklace tightly in his hand. The dim light made him look older.
Xi Ling and Fianna sat in front of him, both of them silent.
"Felistina, is this her real name?" Enleco's father asked with a wry smile. He never expected that his beloved wife would hide so many unknown secrets.
Xi Ling and Fianna did not answer because they knew very well that Enleco's father did not need their answer. He already knew that everything they just said was completely true.
"I originally thought that the Magic Emperor and the Twelve Heroes of Victory Day had already become ancient legends, but I didn't expect that the ancient legends would actually be involved with me." Enleco's father said with a wry smile.
"Your wife, has my aunt never mentioned anything about her to you?" Xiling asked. Her purpose of asking was not so much out of concern as to satisfy curiosity.
"She never mentioned it, and I never asked, because I knew it was a past she didn't want to recall again. I knew exactly what she had been avoiding, because she often woke up from her sleep and was sad until dawn. She never takes off her veil in front of outsiders, and rarely goes out." Enleco's father said with a sigh.
"Enleco said that Todd was the one to preside over your marriage." Xi Ling asked. This was the strangest thing to her. It was impossible for Todd not to know Felistina's identity.
"Todd can be said to be my only friend in this town. He also introduced my wife to live in my home. At that time, other hotels in the town did not welcome my wife." Enleco's father said slowly said.
"Don't you think it's strange? Todd can let guests stay overnight in the shop he runs. Why doesn't he do such a good thing?" Xi Ling asked further, but she already had the answer herself.
In fact, the organization has never trusted Todd. Although he has no obvious signs of betrayal, it is an undeniable fact that the work efficiency of the Sophie Kingdom has always been low.
If it weren't for the extreme shortage of manpower after the Great Purge, and the fact that the Kingdom of Sophie had not taken any major measures, this conservative country would be crawling slowly like a snail, living a monotonous life, and responding to external affairs. Not very positive. Because of this, the Kingdom of Leiding hardly believed that Sophie could be a threat. It was precisely because of such an incompetent Todd that he was not replaced.
Now it seems that Todd, like many people in the organization, is tired of the oppressive and unbearable atmosphere of the organization. Xiling also knows that her aunt and Todd are similar people, and as a member of the Roland family As a member of the public, the pressure is obviously much greater than that of people working on the front line like Todd.
However, Xiling did not tell Enleko's father about Todd's true identity. According to the current situation, Todd should be able to become their ally, because he had already betrayed the organization twenty years ago. thing, and Todd himself should know that the organization has noticed this matter.
"Maybe Todd, like my wife, is also a member of the organization you just mentioned." Enleco's father said with a wry smile.
This answer surprised Xi Ling and Fianna.
"Although I never asked about my wife's background, living together would always expose some flaws inadvertently. At that time, I felt that my wife and Todd knew each other, but they deliberately pretended to be extremely indifferent to each other. Strange, and Todd doesn't look like an ordinary shop owner, he doesn't seem to care about making money, or even losing money," Enleco's father said slowly.
"When did you start to doubt him?" Xiling asked, her curiosity taking over again.
"A long time ago, he didn't have much time when he moved to this town." Enleco's father said: "I remember asking him at the time why he ran the business in such a loss-making way, and he told me that he Waiting for someone."
Xi Ling and Fianna looked at each other. They felt more and more that Todd was a bit unbelievable. It was understandable that he wanted to betray the organization, but exposing his identity did not seem to be something that members of the organization would do.
"Did he say who he was waiting for?" Xiling asked.
"No, but I guess that person is my wife, right?" Enleco's father asked with a wry smile.
"That's very possible. My aunt is an inspector of the organization." Xiling murmured to herself.
"Okay, your family is reunited. How does it feel that Xi Ling suddenly found a cousin?" Fianna pretended to be relaxed and joked aside, but the sense of loss in her heart was really hard to put into words.
In fact, she was the only one of all people who really had feelings for Enleco, but Fianna found that the relationship between her and Enleco had unknowingly become the most alienated.
If Chris really had to put herself in the position of Enleco's wife, Fianna doubted whether she would have the courage to fight with that crazy and powerful witch.
And now Xiling has become Enleco's cousin inexplicably (although she always calls herself a cousin), and their blood relationship makes them inseparable.
Fianna felt extremely lost for a moment, and a sense of powerlessness emerged from the bottom of her heart.
"It's unexpected, but it's also fun. Bullying that guy will become a natural thing in the future, but thinking about it, the relationship between him and me is really bad." Xiling said with a frown.
"Don't worry, there is no relationship between cousins." Fianna forced a smile.
"That's right." Xiling nodded solemnly: "I suddenly remembered that Enleco should change his surname to Roland. This is our family's rule."
Fianna shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly and said, "I don't think he cares much, because this guy never pays attention to his last name."
"However, I think it's better not to tell him about this first, lest he be too surprised and it will affect his health." Xi Ling said while shaking her head.
"You don't want to see him freed from that curse." Fianna could see through Xi Ling's bad intentions at a glance.
This time it was Enleco's father who was standing beside him, dumbfounded. He really couldn't imagine how his wife could have such a vicious niece.
…
The most lively place in the small town of Severna is the Forest Goblin Bar. Because it has pure flavored wine and the advantage of being able to get credit at any time, it has become the most attractive place in the town.
Today, because the rumored Little Forbidden Mage returned to his hometown, many people came here from Xin Na just to admire the majestic appearance of the Little Forbidden Mage.
In fact, there are even rumors that the other three companions of the little Forbidden Mage will rush here from the capital Sophien this afternoon. The four super magic apprentices have finally gathered together. This is definitely an exciting thing.
Everyone who came was waiting to watch this scene, and the town was as lively as if it were a festival.
There was a person sitting quietly in a private seat on the second floor of the Fairy Forest Bar. Her face was beautiful but covered with a thick veil.
She has been sitting here waiting for a long time, but she did not show any impatience at all.
After a while, a burst of cheers suddenly came from downstairs, followed by a series of clinking sounds of cups.
As the noise rang out, there were steady footsteps on the stairs. After a while, Todd appeared in front of her, holding a basket made of metal wires in his hand, with a bottle of red wine in the basket.
Seeing Todd come in, the woman drew a perfect circle in the air with her index finger, and immediately the noisy and noisy sound disappeared without a trace.
"You actually used this method to escape." The woman smiled and said.
"It doesn't matter how much money I lose anyway," Todd said with a shrug.
"Are you here to execute me this time?" Todd sat down opposite the woman and asked calmly, without any panic or fear in his expression.
"It's not very clear. That person asked me to act according to the situation, maybe I can keep you alive." The woman said with a smile.
"I can finally leave this depressing job behind. Do you remember how many years we have been doing this?" Todd asked with a frown.
"As of today, you are exactly sixty years old, and I am only thirty-five years old," the woman said.
"Sixty years - I didn't expect that sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye." Todd sighed and said, "I don't know what is happening to our daughter now."
"An idiot accidentally touched her ear." The woman did not answer directly.
"Oh - what an unfortunate thing. The idiot you are talking about cannot be Feili's son." Todd asked with a frown.
"Who else but him?" the woman said disapprovingly.
"The Great Elder did not foretell this matter to us." Todd shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"There are still many things that have not been predicted." The woman said slowly, her expression seemed to be recalling a long past, with a trace of hesitation and melancholy, but it eventually turned into indifference.
"That's right, sometimes it's not interesting to know the future." Todd sighed: "Just like at that time, I knew that the carriage would turn over into the ravine, but I couldn't stop it."
"There is no way. The future must not be changed arbitrarily. Haven't we learned enough lessons?" the woman said in a heavy tone.
"In addition to handling my affairs this time, the Great Elder must have given you other tasks." Todd's expression suddenly became solemn.
"Yes, I took a trip to Keqin Island, met with the patriarch there, and brought him the great elder's prediction." The woman said.
"Did the trip to Caichen Island go well?" Todd asked.
"It went quite smoothly. The elves on Keqin Island have lived quite harmoniously with humans. It is not very difficult for them to completely integrate into human society. The patriarch has told all the elves on the island the prophecy, and there is no Causing shock and dissatisfaction," the woman said softly.
"The number of half-elves will be much greater than it is now. It seems that the bottleneck is the people with the blood of the goblins. We can't let Feili's son work hard alone." Todd said with a smile.
"Now it seems that people with the blood of the elves have the same troubles as the elves. They mate with other races, and their fertility is very problematic. However, people with the blood of the elves can easily get the elves pregnant, with a high success rate. Astonishing," the woman said.
"Then the key lies in the child born to your other daughter and Feili's son." Todd asked.
"Does this bother you?" the woman asked.
"The process of humanization also gave me the negative emotions of human beings. To be honest, I did mind it a little. Fortunately, everything has passed." Todd said.
"Yes, everything is over, and I will return to Songling soon." The woman said with a smile. She glanced at Todd with a charming look. This was obviously not an emotion shared by the elves.
"Has your successor been chosen?" Todd asked.
"There is no successor, because it is no longer needed. The role of the Controller Organization is about to end, and soon this depressing thing will cease to exist." The woman said calmly.
"Is this a prophecy given to you by the great elder?" Todd asked.
"Yes, this is the prelude to a new era for mankind," the woman said.
Todd smiled and put the bottle of red wine in his hand on the table and said with a smile: "Let's use this to celebrate the arrival of that new era."
"I would rather celebrate that this depressing job is coming to an end. After drinking, I will 'kill' you. You can choose a place to do it in the guest room at the back. Or should we go outside to find a grove with dense plants, just like we did in Songling Bell?" The woman glanced at her charmingly again.
Todd sighed and shook his head and said: "I think it is impossible for you to return to your original appearance. You have been too deeply affected by humans."
Todd waved his hand gently as he spoke, and another barrier completely isolated the seating area from the outside world, turning it into a world that was harmonious, warm, and full of beautiful colors.
…
At the other end of the town, Most turned his head and stared at the magical fluctuations that suddenly spread out.
"There is a humanized elf living in this town, and his purpose seems to be not much different from mine." Victor said calmly.
"No, it's two of them. They are doing something interesting." Most said excitedly, raising his eyebrows.
Victor obviously knew something about the evil preferences of the chief elder of the demon clan, so he did not appear extremely surprised.
"I really want to know what the guy who chose you as his agent wants to do? Now I find that he doesn't seem to be the only agent." Most turned around and asked.
"We are each doing our own work. I am not interested in the final result. The guy you mentioned did not tell me his true intentions, and I do not intend to make wild guesses." Victor said disapprovingly. said.
"Then tell me what you know and why that guy wants to negotiate with me?" Most said, it transformed into a chair and sat down leisurely opposite Victor.
"I think you should have realized that you can no longer be regarded as an innocent demon. At least even the gods cannot deny your other identity." Victor glanced at the ancient monster and said slowly.
"Does the God Clan plan to accept me as one of them?" Most said with a chuckle.
"You have created an order for yourself, and this order does not originally exist for the gods. There is no need for them to admit it. You should know for yourself what you are, at least not a demon with chaos as its origin."
"And because of the order you created, and the series of changes brought about by this new order, the gods realized that the order they represented was not the only and absolute existence in this universe, because the order in this universe In addition to order, there is also chaos and other rules." Victor said calmly.
"How did that guy explain the war between gods and demons? Didn't he want to purify mankind?" Most said disapprovingly.
"That guy never considered himself the leader of the gods, nor did he think that he was creating an era or guiding the era in the right way. He just thought that all he did was to allow the wheel of time to pass where it was meant to be. It's just on the passing track." Victor said, scratching his forehead as he spoke. He is a messenger, but he himself may not believe everything the God of Wisdom said. In fact, he does not believe in the God of Wisdom. The devotee of God, the God of Wisdom is actually his wife.
"According to that guy, the war between gods and demons should have happened in the first place?" Most said with a curl of his lips.
"This does not seem to be his original intention. What should happen is not the war between gods and demons itself, but the gods, demons and dragons completely disappear from the world, allowing new races to multiply, develop and occupy the world. However, that guy knows very well , the demons will never believe this reason, let alone do what he said for this reason. Of course, the dragon will not either." Victor said with a smile.
"What is that guy going to do now?" Most asked.
"I only know that a new era is about to begin. In the old era, magical power was more used for destruction. Before the war between gods and demons, although magical power was also used in large quantities for destruction, it was not used for creation. There are many, especially in the initial stage, but the species left in this world after the war between gods and demons seem to have suddenly completely forgotten this ability." Victor explained.
"He can directly control an agent to do all this and regain the power of creation." Again Most said disapprovingly.
"That guy has already tried, but failed. Although it was very ideal at the beginning, everything still collapsed in the end, and the power created was still used for destruction. So you cannot rely on the power of one person." Vic Say more.
"He plans to create a race?" Most could roughly guess every step of his old rival's plan.
"It's not just a race, it also includes an idea, a society. It not only has order, but also tolerates chaos. It uses humans, who currently seem to have the most vitality and development potential, as a medium to blend into the blood of the elves and goblins. , a new race created." Victor said.
"Isn't that guy worried that this new race with powerful power will also follow the old failed path?" Most asked.
"No, because the most powerful group of guys among them, most likely to cause disputes, have a common and most suitable leader, one who is neither completely bound by order nor complete chaos, and most importantly, for A guide who never gets tired of everything in this world, but also a restrainer,” Victor said with a smile.
"Is this a compliment, or what?" Most asked with a frown.
"It's true," Victor said.
"Tell me the future that guy sees, and then I will consider whether to take over this mess." Most said confidently.
"You should know that it is difficult to accurately predict the future. There are many unexpected situations that will change the future. Otherwise, that guy would not have sent so many agents to ensure that the future proceeds in the established direction. Fortunately, our work is very leisurely. For example, I just spend most of my time eating and drinking, and the only thing I need to do is to arrive here at a certain moment and make your soul contractor my disciple." Victor shrugged.
"Will things change in the future?" Most asked.
"Changes have already happened, because of a willful guy, there is a new branch of the upcoming race, a branch that although not very numerous, is far more powerful than other individuals." Victor said .
"Is it that dragon? But it's quite interesting!" Most said excitedly.
"Except for this branch, other parts should not have changed. Tell us and listen." Most said.
"You should be able to guess the general situation. With the mixing of elves, goblins and humans, new races will appear, but before that, new social forms will appear first. Haven't you already sown seeds in Stryer County? If there is a fire, that small spark that seems very small now will soon turn into a fire that is difficult to extinguish, and this fire will completely destroy everything."
"That new society will be more stable and prosperous than now. The power of destruction will no longer be important, but the power of creation will be more needed. New magic systems will be created, and they will no longer be distinguished by the nature of magic energy. , but look at their uses, magic will be used in many places, and the magician will be more like a technician, scholar, or inventor, rather than a powerful weapon."
"The City in the Sky will be rebuilt, but not as a fortress and fortress. The same new gods will appear. They will be different from the gods in the past. They will not be creators and guides, but only maintainers and Observer." Victor said calmly.
Most looked at the guy with eternal life in front of him with interest, and asked: "So, you should be one of the new gods."
"This is a boring job. It's a pity that the decision-making power is not in my hands." Victor shrugged helplessly again.
"From the perspective of the new gods, I am not very optimistic about the future that that guy said, but it is indeed very interesting. However, I do not intend to accept that guy's proposal. I am absolutely not responsible for the future he said. , I only plan to keep an eye on those toys that belong to me. That’s all." Most said.
"That guy only wants you to do this, and that guy promises that your toy will be fun, which can be seen from their ancestors." Victor said with a smile.
…
In the distance, Enleco couldn't help but shivered, and he suddenly felt an ominous sign.
The feeling was extremely strange, as if it was a curse from the gods in heaven.
He looked up at the sky. The sky was cloudless and clear. The weather was extremely good. It was obviously not the weather that made him feel cold and melancholy.
In fact, the prairie in Montita made him feel very comfortable. Although it was early spring and the temperature was the lowest of the year, there was no feeling of cold in Montita. It was full of spring.
When Enleco was a child, he heard travelers talk about Montita being a place like spring all year round. The warm wind from the ocean blows the land in winter. Although the violent hurricanes in summer always bring destruction and destruction, they also bring There is a hint of coolness, which is a benefit that other countries will never enjoy.
Because of this, the grasslands of Montita are always lush and lush. However, such a good place with spring all year round has always been shrouded in barbarism and ignorance. While other countries on the continent have been prosperous and developed for thousands of years, this place is still It is a desolate prairie.
Both the previous powerful countries and the later Magic Empire have set foot on this fertile land. They brought conquests and the desire to make this place prosperous, but no one was able to succeed.
This vast expanse of fertile soil is not just lush pasture.
Summer hurricanes turned the efforts of those brave pioneers into deep disappointment.
Locusts appear in swarms and cover the sky like dark clouds. They are a disaster that the pioneers hate because they always appear when the harvest is about to happen.
What is more terrifying than the locust plague is undoubtedly the prairie wolves that are as numerous as the locusts, but their target is not crops but people. They have become a real nightmare on this land.
No matter how powerful the brave man is, he would rather face a ferocious and exposed dragon (of course it is just a sub-dragon) than see himself surrounded by a pack of wolves that cover the grassland in darkness.
What's more, there are legends of heart-devouring monsters circulating on the grassland, which are the ultimate nightmare.
Groups of brave pioneers came to this land, and the luckiest among them were able to return to their hometown alive. As they returned, the horrific scene of Montita was widely circulated.
In fact, for centuries, Montita was considered a cursed land that no one wanted to set foot on.
However, Montita is not uninhabited. It originally had a small number of indigenous residents who had strong vitality, and some of the pioneers also successfully survived on this land. They are naturally the best and strongest, and their bloodline is integrated into the local people.
Despite their tenacious and tenacious character, and although the Montitas are all excellent warriors, this land remains barren and in decline.
Until a great magician came to this land.
Various legends about this magician are inconsistent. Some say that he was one of the magic emperors of the magic empire at that time, while others say that he was a messenger from heaven.
But one thing is absolutely certain, that is, the great magician brought an amazingly large army.
It was as if a million-strong army from heaven swept across this desolate land, but he was not trying to conquer. What his army destroyed was only the most feared and terrifying pack of wolves that could not be eradicated in the first place.
After completing this feat, the great magician suddenly disappeared, and Montita became a desirable land from then on.
However, the fear of the past still stops people from moving forward. Montita is still desolate, but it is no longer lonely, and it is gradually becoming full of life.
The magician who created such a miracle has been respected and worshiped by the Montita people for generations. The Montita people respectfully call him Hori, which means "holy one" in the Montita language.
After the "Saint" suddenly disappeared, those Montita people who had followed the "Saint" elected the most wise leader to serve as the ruler of this land. The world has forgotten this original grassland. The name of the leader is only a title - Sant, which means "saint" in the Montita language.
From then on, the Montita people called the ruler they were most in contact with Sant.
However, this honorific title is so lofty that only five people have held this title in the past thousand years.
Two of them naturally had nothing to say. As characters among the Twelve Heroes who overthrew the Magic Empire, they had already become part of myths and legends.
Enleco has heard before that the most powerful warrior among the Twelve Heroes is not Kaoqi's Sword Master, nor Leiding's Blood Axe, but Montita's Swordsman.
The Kingdom of Sophie has never spread the word about the heroes from other countries among the Twelve Heroes, but the Kingdom of Montita is the only exception.
This is entirely because of the great magician Cecelia. Queen Montita has successfully won the praise of almost everyone. The only exception may be the eldest princess in front of her, but Enleco guessed Chrissy may be the exact opposite of Cecelia. She may be frightened and disgusted by everyone who knows her (of course, this idea only flashed in Enleco's mind, because of that contract, as long as it appeared in his mind Chris will learn about the thoughts that are not good for Chris, which is the thing that makes Enleco feel most helpless.)
The people of Montita are so full of respect and love for Her Majesty the Queen that they put the title of Sant on her head, which is a unique thing in the Kingdom of Montita.
A woman, not a king but with the title of Saint.
Enleco used to be full of admiration and yearning for this legendary great wizard, but now he hopes not to have the chance to see her, because he can't predict what will happen when Chris and Cecilia meet.
However, he was certain that it would not be as simple as just rubbing out some sparks.
Enleco quickly dispelled this idea. He didn't even want to think about the horror of being caught in this storm. Chrissy alone was enough to trouble him.
"You're in trouble. I think you should take some exercise." Suddenly, Chrissy's voice came from beside her.
Enleco looked up and saw dust rising from the sky in the distance.
"What is that? A sandstorm?" Enleco asked in confusion. It really looked like a sandstorm he had seen in the desert.
Kris didn't answer. She screamed, and a clear spring shot out from the soil, and the clear spring turned into a crystal ice disk.
A horrifying scene was clearly revealed in the center of the ice tray.
The black pack of wolves covered most of the grassland. This was Montita's most terrifying nightmare.
Although the saint once caused the wolves to become extinct for a time, this tenacious species obviously did not become extinct because of this. Over the centuries, they gradually recovered their strength.
Fortunately, the wolves are no longer as unscrupulous and large in number as before, and the Montita people who have become stronger are no longer helpless against the wolf plague, but the wolf plague still changes the mood of all people living on the grassland.
"Fortunately they can't fly." Enleco said with a shrug.
"Do you only know how to run away? I actually taught such a weak disciple." Chris squinted at Enleco and said disapprovingly: "Aren't you good at a forbidden spell called 'Blood Curse'? ? Let’s show it and see.”
Enleco quickly shook his head and said: "That kind of magic requires me to pay a lot of blood to maintain it. If I don't do it well, I will die. Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is far stronger than me. How can I dare to do anything in front of you?"
Enleco quickly showed off his previous flattery skills. To be honest, while he was flattering Chris, he was thinking about that weird smell. Who is he now? husband? Absolutely impossible, student? It's a bit like a waiter and a jester? Although I don't want to admit it, this seems to be the most appropriate description.
"My strength is not very effective in dealing with this kind of situation. Don't you admit that you are my most useful tool and property? Help me get rid of those wolves." Chrissy said easily.
Enleco looked helplessly at Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was standing aside and watching, and he glanced at the dust in the sky in the distance.
Suddenly a thought arose in his heart. Apart from all kinds of strange forbidden spells, wasn't the necromancy magic he was best at learning from Trode
There must be many animal carcasses on this prairie. He had seen an astonishing number of them in the wilderness of Strayer County.
Gently chanting the mantra that was full of the breath of death, as the mantra was chanted, the bones of various animals crawled out of the earth one after another.
Chris looked at everything in front of her coldly. When she saw the mountains and fields full of Bai Sensen's bones, she frowned and said displeasedly: "Can't you make it look better? You must make me feel it." Do you have to be very uncomfortable to show what you are capable of?"
Chrissy's words shocked Enleco, because for him there was nothing more terrifying than making Chrissy feel unhappy.
Almost without even thinking, as his mind turned, those white skeletons and bones were immediately covered with a layer of golden armor, and each of them seemed to be a majestic warrior and general.
Although this is just an illusion, it does look much more comfortable.
"It's not bad, you're quite smart." Chris praised, and now Enleco finally felt relieved. He commanded the group of divine soldiers who looked like heaven to kill the wolves.
The two plumes of smoke merged together, and the howling sound spread throughout the wilderness.
