Starfall 841, April 15th, North Moldavia, Great Ajax Mountains.

The original Great Ajax Mountains were surrounded by lush boreal black forests, where countless monsters and dragon beasts lived. It was a paradise for adventurers and explorers, and it was also the origin of the Kuroshio that all surrounding territories needed to be on guard against. The Black Forest Fortress of the Declif family is located on the edge of the Moldavia Territory and the mountains, which was once the dividing line between civilization and wilderness.

But now, since the lords of Moldavia advanced to the legend, exterminated the monsters, and purified the central black forest, the black forest in the far north has also begun to gradually wither, leaving only a piece in the center of the mountain range that is no longer alienated. But it is still extremely lush and can breed many magical beasts. The Black Forest Fortress on the edge of the mountain range no longer needs to guard against the black tide in the past. It has almost become a large trading city, handling many adventurers from the mountains day and night. The precious ores and Warcraft materials produced.

The family cemetery of the Radcliffe family is located on a mountain in the edge area. The legendary lord completed the long-standing mission of the family. He invited the ancestors from the invisible space and time, and let them They can once again look at the world that they sacrificed their lives to protect.

Perhaps it is because of this that the base of the mountain where the Radcliffe family cemetery is located gradually turned into a cemetery. Many adventurers who died accidentally and soldiers who died due to the black tide were buried there. Here, more people are proud to be buried here after death... Soon, this place became a large stretch of tombs, and the local municipal council began to build walls and send tomb guards to inspect , as if acquiescing to this.

call-

The wind blew across the low hillside, causing ripples in the pine trees. Ivan Makarov looked up at the tall coniferous trees not far away, then silently lowered his head and looked at the tombstone in front of him.

[Edward Makarov]

[SF775~SF837]

The tombstone is made of black iron rock, and next to it, there are two tombstones with the same shape.

[Andrei Makarov]

[SF802~SF832]

[Xina Makarov]

[SF807~SF832]

Beside Ivan, Amira Makarov was wearing a black formal dress and she was praying with her eyes closed in front of the tombstone. Naturally, as mages, the two of them did not specifically believe in God, but at this time, there was nothing left to do except pray.

The brief worship ceremony ended quickly. Ivan slowly squatted in front of the tombstones of his father, mother, and grandfather. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out for a while. After a long time, this A gold-level mage with platinum hair said leisurely: "Grandpa, parents, nine years have passed. I have become a member of the Royal Mage Association and work in the 'Giant Magic Armor Design Department'. Compared with you, The hunter and mage I was set out to be, I have more than fulfilled my mission.”

"Grandpa, it's a pity that you didn't survive that winter, didn't see my graduation, and didn't see me shine during the assessment... You even specifically asked Mrs. Deni to conceal the news of her death to avoid disturbing us... This is really It shouldn’t be, not seeing you for the last time is my biggest regret.”

After speaking, Ivan was a little distracted, but soon, this spellcaster who had traveled through multiple different worlds and had an extremely firm mind recovered. He turned his head and looked at the two tombstones next to him. He said with a smile: "Father, mother, Moldavia... No, there are no five-color dragons in the entire Mycroft world. And the dragon heads around Moldavia have either been wiped out or become slaves. beast."

"Although the first thing was done by Lord Lord, it can't be regarded as my revenge for you, but the next thing was done by me, Amira, Fina and Nick together. We spent a Within a month, we killed all the dangerous dragon heads. Oh, by the way, our team even raised a white dragon as a mount. That is the race that was the culprit who planned the dragon disaster and killed you!

"Now that things have happened, I can finally say that I have avenged you."

When he said this, there was no tremor in Ivan's tone, because there was no need. He is a successful person. He successfully avenged his parents and fulfilled his grandfather's wish. As a child who survived the dragon disaster, this former hunter's son knew that he had done everything to the best of his ability. He had no reason to be cowardly. There is no reason to feel inferior. He should calmly and proudly tell his deceased relatives about his achievements, and they will definitely be proud of him.

On the other side, Amira, who was praying, opened her eyes. She also stood up and held her brother's hand. The female mage stared at the tombstone in front of her. She also whispered to them with pride: "Tomorrow, me and Ivan, as well as the other members of the team, will be stationed on the Empire's first 'Dreadnought-class Void Battleship' as 'ship mage'."

"My brother is here to confirm how many 'giant magic energy combat units' can be loaded on the battleship, and to design a type of magic energy armor that can be matched with the battleship, while I am responsible for the operation of the energy system. Although, as a recent graduate, The reason why we can enter such an important department must be because we are the Lord’s disciples, but if we are not good enough, we will never be able to board the ship.”

Nine years have passed.

The former hunter's son and daughter have become the most elite golden mages in the entire world. They can board the Dreadnought-class battleship, which represents the crystallization of civilization and technology in the Starfall Era, and contribute their share to the future of civilization - and what supports them to overcome many difficulties and obstacles and reach this point is the expectations of their relatives. And the most severe self-discipline.

The gentle mountain breeze passed by, and the fragrant air made people feel relaxed and happy. The brother and sister lowered their heads together and closed their eyes in front of the tombstones of all their relatives.

"Please be proud of us."

A similar scene happened in the world of Kronos.

Lisa, the dragon girl, stood in the monitoring station outside the world, staring at her hometown. Behind her, the Fire Demon Syndicate and the smaller clone No. 1 looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"I said, Lisa, are you really not going to take a look?"

After pondering for a long time, the Syndicate asked cautiously: "Tomorrow is the time for us, as testers, to board the Dreadnought-class battleship - if we don't go back and take a look now, it will probably take a long time before we can come back again."

"Zizzi, zizizi, zizizizi!" No. 1 also nodded in agreement and made a sound of agreement.

In response, the dragon girl turned around and showed a faint hint. Lisa said with a relaxed expression: "No, thank you."

"The reason why I don't want to go back is simply because I'm afraid... I'm a little afraid. If I go back, it will be difficult to return to the teleportation circle within the specified time. This is the test quota we finally obtained on board the ship. , it’s a pity to waste it.”

“…”

The Syndicate could hear the loneliness behind the girl's smile even if they only used their ears to listen without using their eyes. Of course he understands and understands why... Lisa is unwilling to go back. The reason is naturally part of the reason she said before, she is afraid of wasting time, but more importantly, I am afraid that she does not want to face the familiar person again, but without her parents and acquaintance. human world.

Every time she returns to the world of Kronos, the time Lisa spends in her hometown becomes shorter and shorter. This is not because she hates her hometown, but because she likes her hometown too much. She is too greedy for the wind, the taste of her hometown, and her hometown. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, so Lisa, who has a more ambitious goal, must fight against this desire more firmly.

Until she succeeds, until she can change the entire world like her teacher and the Dragon God, and completely turn the ignorant compatriots into civilization, she must be patient, and then with this patient heart, she will become stronger.

However, the Syndicate stepped forward and grabbed Lisa's hand, which seemed to be about to turn back.

"Okay, don't be verbose here."

The former Balrog said forcefully, and he led Lisa, who was a little overwhelmed, towards the transmission channel leading to the world of Kronos: "Then if you want to go back and have a look, then go back and have a look. Obviously, board the Fearless Class Battleship is a very happy thing, why don’t you go back and report to your parents?”

"And, Lisa, if you're afraid that you can't help but want to stay, and you're afraid of losing to your own desires... isn't it still me?"

Standing in the teleportation array with the dragon girl, Syndicate smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, I will always be by your side to remind you."

"… Um."

Starfall 841, April 15th, on the Bander Plateau, southeast of the Void Battleship Dockyard, on an extremely wide flat plateau.

Groups of imperial mages were running around on the plateau covered with runes and steel infrastructure. They were in small groups, staring nervously at each light curtain. They seemed to be analyzing data and simulating experiments, while the wearers of the magic energy armor for construction The construction team is busy digging channels on the vast plateau and redrawing the runes.

However, at this time, a huge part of the project was completed. The mage and the engineering team were just testing and correcting the prepared magic circle, so although the atmosphere was tense, it was not very busy.

"What do you think, Nostradamus?"

In the center of all the mages and construction teams, the legendary mage Barnier was processing the runes flying like a waterfall in the light screen in front of him, while smiling at the frowning face of a legendary mage in the light screen on the other side. He said: "Are you feeling nervous? Tomorrow is the day when the super battleship you have been planning for a long time will be launched into the sky. Are you feeling a little uneasy?"

"I have nothing to be nervous about."

In this regard, Nostradamus, who was sitting on the observation throne and controlling the Skynet system, was dismissive: "I am not responsible for it. This is entirely what Israel ordered to study and build."

"Hmph, it can only be said that His Majesty, the future God of Power and Justice, is really too far-sighted."

In this regard, Barnier just sneered. He looked at the light curtain in front of him, shook his head and said: "The total length of the entire ship, not including the bow, is more than a kilometer. Even with the energy suspension system running, the total weight is more than three meters. One million tons, this unimaginable behemoth, is enough to build dozens of normal void battleships - and the fleet flagship you designed did not even consider the function of cruising around the world. From beginning to end, it is completely It’s used to fight for the right to the void.”

"Seriously, this thing can only be built in a place like Vanguard Fortress that is originally located in the void. Without Joshua, this Dreadnought-class battleship cannot even fly through the world barrier. In this way, even the so-called transcendent Ordinary legendary-level destructive power cannot be 'laid into the water', so it is of no use."

On the other side of the screen, the old mage shrugged indifferently: "But Barnier, we have Joshua after all, don't we?"

"You're right." Without any rebuttal, Barnier continued to control the runes in front of him, and he said with a smile: "So I said, in this way, this is not a failed design, but a long-term vision. "

"Ah, here he comes!"

As the rune master's voice sounded, he closed the light curtain in front of him, and it seemed that it was because of this move that the vast flat plateau suddenly lit up with seven-color magical rainbow light.

All the mages and engineering teams who had been running on the plateau to detect the status of magic circles and runes immediately evacuated after seeing the rainbow light that appeared during the exercise. As they evacuated, streaks of light shone brightly. Shining runes began to appear on the outermost layer of the rainbow light.

It can be seen that the colorful light that covers almost half of the Benert Plateau forms an extremely regular 'circle' on the ground, and the appearance of the shining runes is like a domino appearing on the outermost side of the circular formation. Dominoes - Soon, dominoes fill all areas of the circle.

Then, the dominoes collapsed, and one shining rune after another was activated by Barnier's power and connected in series. Suddenly, an extremely huge energy was pulled out from the depths of the earth by this huge rune array and merged into the array. , and at this moment, a dazzling white beam of light suddenly burst out. It was like an inverted meteor, speeding towards the end of the world and the top of the sky!

Barnier raised his head and stared at this bright pulling light beam with a smile - all the runes have been set, all the foundations have been laid, and even the energy system has been activated by him to draw the earth's core energy from the foundation of the world. Filling, the old mage's work has been completed. Next, you need to wait for the strongest, fastest, and largest construction team members in the world to enter.

In fact, Barnier didn't have to wait long.

Boom—boom—

Along with the sound of something extremely heavy and slowly approaching, a shadow suddenly appeared on the sky.

The clouds began to move upward unnaturally, and the dust and gravel on the ground began to fly upward against gravity.

Seeing this shadow, all the mages and construction team members present, except for Barnier, all swallowed their saliva - of course not because of fear, but because of awe of the existence behind the shadow, precisely because of knowing The shadow is not the enemy, so they admire the greatness of this power.

After a moment, the shadows stopped.

At this time, it seemed that even the light of the sun was dimmed a little, and it seemed that more of the light was absorbed by the huge shadow.

And the next moment, accompanied by a sound that made everyone's hearts stop, an extremely heavy knock sounded at the top of the sky. A huge shock wave spread in a ring shape, causing the sky to shake and the clouds to scatter.

At this time, whether it was Barnier or Nostradamus, all the legendary strong men and gods who were paying attention to the Bander Plateau saw the scene that happened at the end of the sky.

—The world barrier has a crack.

And a giant bony hand made entirely of steel, extremely huge, extremely slender, more like some kind of metal strip than an arm, followed the tractor beam emitted by Barnier, and penetrated into Mike Rowe's body. Within the husband’s world.

Then, that's it.

Gently, he pressed it on the giant magic circle on the Bander Plateau.
