Volume 1 The Beginning Chapter 8 Darkness and Light

March 27. Far north, a cold wind blows. On top of the ancient ice field, several Coral Horn reindeer are being chased by Nether Wolves.

A traveler braves the snow, following a faint ray of sunshine. When the sun reaches the peaks of the ice, the cold wind howls and blows away the snowflakes. As a result, the mountain peaks shimmer like a mirror. If you look closely, there is also a city with crystal clear ice, and after the wind, the black mist that evaporates is terrifying, as if to warn passers-by not to approach - this is where the king of the Demon Dragon Empire lives.

As the traveler approached, two tall knights with blood-colored spears appeared before him.

"Get out of the way!" said the traveler. The majesty of his voice caused the two knights in black armor to bend back.

The gates of Ice Crystal City opened, and the torches in the stone passages lit up one by one under the manipulation of magic. And what about the traveler? He took off his damp black cloak and put it in his bosom. He was dressed in dazzling gold-colored armor and had a pitch-black sword hanging from his waist. The hilt of the sword was carved with a dragon, its eyes glowing red with anger, but its owner was bright-eyed and steadfast.

"Are you coming? "A sound that could tear through the cold wind and make the ancient ice fields tremble, and the palace in the city shook with it. The voice of the person taking a nap has an uncomfortable feeling, and even makes people think that it is not a human voice.

If the voice of the man in the golden armor just now made people feel majestic, then this person's voice made people feel even more like the king. There is a cruel and ruthless sense in this voice, and ordinary people will tremble and even run for their lives when they hear it.

Walk through the gardens of the city and you'll find the palace. Ritsu walked on the corridor of the main hall. Beneath his feet was a blood-red carpet leading to the throne. On the armrests of the throne are two skeletons with rubies in their eyes that appear to be dripping blood. The throne is made of the bones of the vanquished, and a gilded line on the back of the chair reads: "Bryson Helles Levy, Creator of the God of Order."

At this time, there were three royal black-clothed people gathered in the palace, as well as other city lords. They were deliberating things.

A man in black armor sat on a throne, but his eyes glowed red. His face was grim, but his complexion was different from that of a normal person, and he was not pale through the light. "You've traveled for a long time, so you must have seen and heard about the dragon god. Now, you tell me. Kyle Austin asked. At this time, his voice was low, but it was enough to shock the body and mind of his subordinates.

"Yes. "Ritsu Mayne fell to one knee with his waist straight, without losing his majesty.

"Get up, stand up!" Kyle said.

"During my travels, I heard some news about returning travelers. They are ready to move, participating in a series of activities of the Revival Legion, including the Terran elite from all over the world. But there is no news from the dragon god yet, please forgive your majesty. Ritsu said.

"Are they the stinking children of the City of Miracles? They are nothing but remnants of the City of Miracles. It seems that the Terrans have become cowardly enough to survive on children. On the right side of the red carpet, a black-clothed man in front of the emperor with a black dragon giant axe sarcastically said. Opposite him was an even stranger black-clad Imperial Front, with a servant with him.

"Haha. A few days ago, Lord Kaida had Nightfall Stalker deliver news of the dragon god. As soon as he finished speaking, the speaker took out a boiling potion from the bone wrap around his waist. He poured it into his mouth, and green bubbles came out of his mouth.

"Kill, kill!" shouted the orderly servant next to him, jumping and snatching the empty bottle with a few drops of potion left. He licked his head up, looking a little fluttery, and the pointed ears on either side of his head swayed happily.

Hearing the word "put to death," R. Mayne fell to one knee again. The carpet was made a sound directly from his weight.

"Quiet," said Kyle, "my brother never listens to his own orders. Send a secret order for the Wind Shadow Demon Sword to continue its quest for the whereabouts of the Dragon God. As for Lil Mayne, you'll continue to be responsible for finding the stronghold of the Rebel Legion. He stood, broadsword wrapped in black mist in both hands. At this point, the slave swallowed the empty bottle he had been licking out of fear, making his round eyes even more hideous, and he hiccuped.

The wind blew through the ice sheets, becoming warm, accompanied by another ray of sunlight breaking in from above the dense forest. It's an ancient jungle.

A carriage dragged the magic light through the magic circle. Later, the ancient temple gradually emerged in the light and embellishment, an ancient structure made of huge rocks. The symbol above the building is a soaring dove, surrounded by olive branches and leaves. This sacred and solemn place is the secret stronghold of the Revival Corps.

"Is Lady Auraya Daisy there?" Andrew jumped off the carriage and looked at the entrance of the ancient temple, feeling a little happy, "Today is another beautiful day, and there is still a date waiting for you." ”

"Mr. Kronos, who are you dating here, and which girl is you targeting?" the woman swayed gracefully and appeared at the gate of the ancient temple. She is the commander of the Revival Corps and the current head of the Knights Templar. However, the name of this commander comes from the mouth of like-minded partners.

"Hello, Lady Auraya Daisy, it was a nice afternoon. Return to the traveler at your service, no matter when and where, will be sure to fulfill the promise. Andrew said.

"You're a grocery store, and you're doing a good job. How's it going, has the letter arrived?" teased Auraya Daisy. Her right hand was pinching her thin waist, while her left hand was resting on the sword at her waist.

"God knows...... Joining the grocery guild also has to work for the returned travelers, and people like me who are at the bottom of society are also forced by life. Andrew said these words in a calm tone.

Soon, one of the shooters found half a cart of groceries in addition to the letters. His leather shoes look particularly lightweight. He jumped from his hiding place above the forest, landed steadily, paid his respects to Andrew, and walked to the back of the carriage. When he lifted the curtain, the smell of fish pierced his mouth and nose.

"What a heavy fishy smell, what kind of ...... is this" The archer peeled off the covered cloth, a little excited, "Oh my God, this is the sword shark of Hunter Swamp Town." ”

"Hey, lad. It's an authentic specialty, and there are some other gifts. But don't touch that package," Andrew Kronos took a puff of his pipe and looked at Olaya with a smile, "that's a gift for this beautiful lady." ”

Oraya, of course, knew that Andrew was just joking. "Did you hear anything?" she said solemnly.

"Knights of Merit and Knights of the Snow King? Maybe it's true, as rumored to be, that they're out of nowhere. Or their fate is as bad as the rest of the Knights. Andrew shook his head.

"It's disappointing. Aolaya frowned.

While they were talking, the shooter touched another small sealed wooden barrel and opened it, the white cane sugar excited him.

"It's not easy to get these things. A delicate female voice came. She is the younger sister of Auraya Daisy, and has the same shoulder-length brown hair as Auraya, but is not as handsome as Auraya, and has a mole on the right side of her face near her chin. Although her voice sounded a little wonderful, her figure was in stark contrast to her sister's, as strong as a man, and she was also the commander of the Heavy Shield Regiment. However, they are not sisters.

"Haha, it turned out to be Andrew Kronos, I thought it was a young man who accosted the commander," Silver Hunt, the head of the Wizards' Order, also came to check on this month's supplies, "Mr. Kronos is getting younger and younger. "Dressed in a suit of silver armor engraved with magic charms and a white cotton cloak, this handsome man was a sociable son of a rich family. The spell on the armor is used against the Order. His weapon is a magic gun called "Demon Slayer", which is said to have been created using ancient Shennuo technology from the Age of the Gods, which is an heirloom of the Hunter family.

"Ah, you are Silver Hunter Silver-Hunter, the noble son of the Hunt family. It was a great day to meet you here. Andrew complimented. He bowed in respect.

The soldiers of the Revival Corps were busy carrying goods. The people who had been chatting happily looked worried, and then followed Auraya Daisy into the depths of the ancient temple.

A woman with silky white hair on her sideburns looked at the mirror image in front of her, her cheeks were delicate. "The power of the barrier is weakening, and I can feel a powerful dark force approaching. Enchantments cannot resist pure dark magic. She said. Then, she grabbed the vine staff with an immortal flower on the top. She recited another incantation, "Time is like an arrow, and all things are reincarnated, and I pray that everything in this place will be dissipated in the jungle." "When someone passes by, everything in front of them has never changed, it is still a dense forest, there is no trace of an ancient temple, no sound of no one speaking, no indentation of a carriage, and it seems that everything has never appeared in memory, more like an illusion.

As the sun stained the sky a blood-red color, a branch stretched out into the middle of the road swayed. A sleeping young man fell from a tree branch. He woke up suddenly.

"Ah...... ......Where are you, dear friend," he shouted, standing up in confusion. The wine bag in his hand was firmly caught.

A few people passed vaguely on the way. They are frightened by the fall of a drunken person, but they all only say one word: "Whose drunkard is ......" and then they all cover their noses and walk away. There is only one exception.

"yes, where are you?" said a passer-by, also looking at the sunset. He was dressed in gray armor and carried a somewhat torn shield with a scarred flaming sword between the shield.

"Master, look at this dirty, smelly drunk......" Pike said to Cada as he ran to the front.

"Pike...... Hurry," Kaeda was in a hurry to get to Redcliff City, "get out of this boring swamp town. ”

In the crowd, Kaida Austin rubs shoulders with the owner of the Flaming Sword.

"What is that? Why do you suddenly feel so cold, but who is emitting this terrible magic?" the young man with the flaming sword on his back stopped. He turned around and looked around, looking around at the people passing by.

On the outskirts of Redleaf, Glori is busy cutting wood to make money. "Ahh He accidentally stepped on a piece of wood under his feet, slipped and missed the log on the stake with his axe. At this moment, he slashed his axe steadily at the stone on the side of the stake. "It just fell into the river. It's great, today's salary is in vain...... I'm going to starve at night. He said.

"The sun sets, the moon rises, and light and darkness are constantly intertwined, but there is a real adventure for some people. Glori opened the biography of the dragon god, read the message of the book, and put it aside. So, he jumped into the river and fumbled for an axe, then looked at the sun that was about to set. "I'm going to try to live, Yvette Stephanie. Now, that's the real beginning!" he said.
