Overlord Garserik! Two thousand years ago, he was the only ruler who unified the entire continent and was crowned 'Emperor'. All kings were his slaves, and all nations prostrated before him. The Og people were driven out of the mainland and fled to the wild lands of the north. Even the barbarian warriors who claimed to be invincible in Felictok had to kneel down to the overlord in exchange for the right to survive.
Surrender or die! This is the iron rule promulgated by Overlord Garserik.
Compared with countless achievements and epic legendary experiences, the topic that countless scholars are talking about is the terrible decree issued during the reign of the Overlord. After unifying the continent, Overlord Garserik did not impose financial taxes like other fatuous kings. , extremely luxurious, and did not waste manpower on building large buildings that highlight status. Relatively speaking, Overlord Garserik's powerful iron-fisted methods and policies have brought prosperous economy and commerce to his empire, and he has also established a loyal cavalry to protect the territory of this huge empire.
But now this historical giant has been described as a devil worshiper, a blasphemer, the incarnation of disaster and other negative images in today's Holy City and the Holy See. Overlord Garserik has always been regarded as such by both parties. It is a taboo topic. Anyone who dares to question the Holy City and the Holy See will be tried as a heretic.
The reason why such a situation has arisen, that the two largest and mutually hostile religious forces on this continent are simultaneously regarded as great enemies to guard against, is because of the only terrifying decree issued by Overlord Garserik two thousand years ago. The decree is that Overlord Garserik does not allow any religious forces to appear in his empire!
―Garserik
All the churches and temples were destroyed by the order of Overlord Galceric, and all the monks and priests were driven out. They had only two choices: either to blaspheme the gods they believed in, or to 'return' to the gods through countless bloody tortures. around. At that time, the Holy City and the Holy See simply could not have the same terrible influence as they do now. Under the suppression of Overlord Garserik, they could only hide in the darkness like mice and linger on.
This decree to suppress religion lasted until the death of the overlord. According to later statistics, more than hundreds of thousands of clergy and believers were killed. The most terrifying thing in all records was that the Holy City at that time After the Saint Rosalie, who possesses level 19 magic, was captured by Overlord Galceric, facing Rosalie's anger, the Overlord just ordered the construction of a high tower and piled up the corpses of all the dead clergy in the Holy City. On the high tower, Saint Rosalie was tortured for several months and then erected on a wooden stake at the top of the high tower, and preached that the gods she believed in should have a good look at it┉┉
Overlord Garserik is the first king to dare to declare war on the gods!
The era of fanaticism came to an end with the death of Overlord Garserik. After the death of Overlord Garserik, who left no descendants, the throne was inherited by his adopted daughter, who also created the first female emperor on the continent. Birth! No matter how powerful the empire is, it will eventually come to an end. After 700 years of rule, the overlord's empire has failed to produce anyone who is qualified for the throne. The incompetent descendants have deviated from the original rules set by the overlord, harsh governance and heavy taxes. The failure caused turmoil throughout the empire. After all, areas dissatisfied with the empire's rule revolted one after another, and a protracted war finally broke out.
In the early days of the war, the rebels gained a brief advantage and were violently suppressed. Perhaps the descendants of the Overlord were incompetent, but at least they knew that strong force was irreplaceable to support their luxurious lives. Although the local army Already corrupted in the struggle for power, the imperial guards left behind by the central overlord still live up to their ferocity and prestige during the Heng Shao Continent period. However, while violence and fear make people surrender, they also bring more resistance. The Legal Alliance in the southern section established the Tower of Sage under the leadership of Hillia, who is known as the Star Mage, and cooperated with the Holy City and the Holy See. United together as the largest stronghold to oppose the empire and support the rebel army┉┉
"No matter how powerful an emperor is who betrays the people, he will eventually be exhausted. The fall of the central capital announced the end of the era created by Overlord Garserik. Each district of the powerful empire became independent one after another, finally forming today's situation. ". The old magician sat on a chair with his eyes closed and muttered to himself.
"Yes! Teacher Faron, but it is said that when the capital of the empire fell, a huge earthquake suddenly occurred and the 'Tower of Blasphemy' was buried underground. I don't know if this is true."
After hearing his student's words, the old magician slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Who knows, anyway, both the Holy City and the Holy See claimed that it was the anger of the gods against the overlord Garserik's blasphemy, and it was a witness to the miracle. It’s like taking all the credit for yourself.”
"However, after the collapse of the Overlord's empire, Star Master Hillia discovered something astonishing during her investigation." Having said this, the old magician carefully opened the wooden box and took out a small golden box. After carefully chanting a spell to remove the magic lock on the box, the old magician opened the small box.
This is~~! The moment the box was opened, Gretel, who was mainly using water magic, immediately noticed that huge water element fluctuations were spreading out of the box. In less than a few seconds, the density of water elements in the entire room increased several times. . When the old magician completely opened the box, an ornament made of blue crystal appeared in front of Gretel's eyes.
Gretel looked at the ornament in surprise. Its unique shape seemed to be some kind of symbolic emblem. The strength of the huge water elemental aura emanating from it even surpasses that of a 16th-level magician herself. Grete bets that if a magic apprentice can be lucky enough to carry this ornament on his body, he can borrow the elemental power emanating from the ornament. They can easily defeat their own master.
The old magician took out the ornament, touched it, felt the elemental breath on it, and said, "Do you know, my child, this ornament is a relic passed down by the star mage Sillia, and it was found in the secret room of Overlord Garserik. Found, the entire ornament is not made of any metal or material but is a pure condensation of water elements."
Water element condensate! ? Something handed down from the era of the Overlord by the Star Mage Hillia! ? Maybe the old magician's tone was too plain, but Grete was extremely shocked. As a level 16 magician, she could also use elements to condense some items, but after a week or so at most, the items condensed with elements would slowly disappear. Disintegrate and disappear, an ornament condensed from elements that have been preserved for thousands of years during the Overlord Period. How much power is needed to do this? Not to mention this charm exudes so much power!
"This┉┉How is this possible┉┉such a huge power┉┉unless there are only gods." For a moment, Grete felt that what the teacher brought out destroyed her previous concept of magic in an instant.
"Yeah, unless it's a god, this is something even I can't do." The old magician looked at the ornament in his hand, shook his head and said, "And according to the information you gave me, the elemental fluctuations caused by the recent snowstorm in the Mist Forest are very similar to this ornament."
After saying this, the old magician sighed, put down the ornaments, and took out another shabby ancient book. A few words could still be seen clearly on the broken pages. After placing the book on the table, the old magician continued: "This book The book is one of the last diaries left behind by Hillia, and it contains some amazing facts."
Having said that, the old magician once again took out the last thing from the box, an old and broken flag! There are three black sword patterns embroidered in the middle of the blue base material and black pattern, and above the sword pattern is a white dragon head. Gretel recognized what this flag represented. This flag was planted on all the land on this continent two thousand years ago. It was the symbol of the Perlas Empire of Overlord Garserik!
"Child, did you notice the dragon's head on this flag?" The old magician pointed with his finger.
Gretel nodded, but he still didn't understand what the teacher meant. Although dragons are considered to be terrible beasts and monsters by the world, they are also symbols of strength and power. Many countries and families on the mainland have dragon patterns on their flags. . Is there anything unusual about Overlord Garserik's flag
"It is rumored that during the period when Overlord Garserik conquered the unified continent, there were many battles in which countless military strategists could not believe it. In these battles, the overlord's army, which was originally at a disadvantage, incredibly defeated its opponents. According to Hilley According to the records of Asia, there were rumors at that time that a giant dragon had appeared during the war to assist Overlord Garserik’s army in winning victory.”
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became calm. Grete had completely understood that her home country of Saxony might be going through a storm more terrifying than a blizzard! The old magician stood up and patted his student on the shoulder and said: "Child! The changes in the Mist Forest this time may not be as simple as you think. If it weren't for the fact that the Tower of Sages is now at the most critical moment for internal reform, I really want to go to the Mist Forest immediately and see what secrets are hidden in the Yanold Mountains, the deepest part of the forest."
"Teacher Faron"! Grete looked at her teacher happily.
"I will keep this secret for you and block those reformists when the time comes"! The old magician said seriously: "If you want to investigate the Forest of Mist, you'd better act quickly, because I received some bad news."
Gretel was shocked and asked quickly: "What's the news? Teacher Faron."
"There was a riot in the eastern Kingdom of Karut. Many elves abandoned their homes and fled. The slave traders in the Kingdom of Karut and the free cities sent troops and mercenaries to capture them. The worst thing was that the elves The direction of escape happens to be the forest of mist."
"What"? When Gretel heard the news, she ignored etiquette for a moment: "How could this happen? I must inform His Majesty the King about this immediately."
"I have only received the news in the past few days. It seems that the Kingdom of Karut does not want the Holy City to know about this, and the elves are probably planning to cross the Mist Forest when the summer blizzard stops." The old magician pinched his beard and thought uneasily.
Gretel shook her head and said sadly: "They can't cross the forest, they will all freeze to death in the snowstorm."
========================================
"How's your arm doing now Hagen". Major Alex, who was soaking in the large bathhouse, asked Hagen beside him.
Hagen moved the joints of his left arm and said easily: "The Lord God has helped me dispel the remaining frost power, and now there is no problem."
After speaking, Hagen retracted his body into the hot water, relaxing and enjoying the comfort brought by the bath. Recalling today's battle, Hagen was still a little frightened. The god's suit was broken and was still repairing itself. The power of the main god was really terrifying. The result of the five of us joining forces was that they even touched each other's bodies.
"I didn't expect that the power difference between us and the Lord God is so big." Hagen raised his head and closed his eyes slightly and said to himself.
"yes"! Major Alex couldn't help but echoed.
During dinner time, Yalin had already come to the restaurant in advance to redeem a table of exquisite dishes, because he was so happy today! After the previous battle with Major Alex and the others, I was surprised to find that everyone had been promoted to a level. Now Major Alex has reached lv5, Hagen lv3, Miriya lv4, and Suzaku Shumu and Claferrigg have reached level 5. There is no upgrade, but I have gained a lot of experience, and there is still a little more to upgrade.
Everyone including Caster Medea arrived at meal time. Schneizel didn't come and Yalin didn't plan to let him join him for the time being. As a noble son of the royal family, Schneizel was not in the habit of eating from a big pot. This meal was Asian. Lin always ate with everyone in advance, and then had to have a meal alone with Schneizel, which showed his aura as 'Your Majesty'.
Just as everyone was preparing to eat, a figure walked into the busy restaurant and looked around. Yalin noticed it immediately and smiled happily and waved to her: "We are all here, Feili"!
The person with long silver hair and an appearance like a delicate porcelain doll is none other than Philly Rose, one of the heroines in the anime "Steel Shell City Reggios"! In fact, after selecting Philly Rose through the random summoning of special characters as rewards, Yalin was a little bit at a loss because he had never watched this anime before. At first, he thought it was Philly, the character of Sanwu. Yalin only chose After using the wrong treatment policy and almost getting kicked several times, Yalin had to make up for the anime in the summoning system and finally figured out Feili's character. It turned out that Feili, who seemed to be a three-no, was actually a pseudo-three-no character. , is good at telekinesis operations, using the petal-shaped 'bary crystal gold steel' staff in his hand to create scales that fly out, and collects a wide range of information through the scales and can share it with his companions through telekinesis abilities.
It can be said to be a very strong investigative ability! However, due to the manipulation of telekinesis that limits the transmission of her emotions, Feili has never been good at getting along with others. Except for Yalin, who wanted to use Feili's telekinesis ability more widely and let her visit Medea in the research department from time to time. Apart from using her mind power, Feili likes to be alone a lot of the time.
"Oh! This is really rare!"
Seeing that the usually taciturn Feili actually came out to eat with everyone, Medea seemed very happy. She couldn't help but take Feli's hand and bring her to the chair next to her and motioned her to sit down. Everyone looked at Medea. The look in her eyes showed that it was true, and it seemed that everyone knew that Medea was very fond of cute girls.
Shumu Suzaku held his chopsticks and said with a smile: "We are all good friends, so there is no need to be so nervous."
"Don't be so nervous, cute little Feili. Just get used to eating with everyone," Medea said, lining Feili's shoulders.
Feili looked a little embarrassed for a moment and looked at everyone present and Yalin, and finally sat down after seeing Yalin give her a reassuring look.

Yalin quietly opened the summoning system and looked at Feili's information. When he saw the favorability score, Yalin was stunned for a long time. One day he took a look at her underwear and the favorability score increased by 8 points to intimacy~~ What the hell? What is the setting for selling meat in the palace? Panda, come out and explain it to me.
(PS: It’s really hard to describe Feili’s character. I’ve read the anime and manga several times but still feel like I haven’t captured her character. By the way, I’m taking leave in advance to attend my brother’s wedding ceremony on October 1st, so I’ll stop here. One more day!)
