While Levi was sleeping peacefully in the depths of the White City vault, time passed like flowing water.

The situation on the continent of Corell has also changed, and various wonderful and boring epic legends have been staged:

In 1340 A.D., with the intervention of Cormier's army, a four-year dispute between Sambia and the Byronists finally came to an end.

One of them, the 'Elven Ranger' named Elevyn and the 'Shield Dwarf Warrior' named Leviathan, shined in this war, and the Ranger who shot at least 100 mid-to-high-level evil cultists of the Worship Dragon Sect in a row is suspected of breaking through the legendary boundary on the battlefield and awakening the [Rival Buster] specialty.

What no one knew was that not only him, but also the 'Shield Dwarf' who kept spreading noise on the battlefield was also promoted the following year, and there was not much surprise that he awakened the [Legendary Tenacity Barrier].

In the year 1345 of the Valley calendar, under the banner of Isabella and led by the legendary warrior Sgard, Eskow completely wiped out the Bedai barbarians and orcs entrenched along the entire Essi Road.

In the same year, the green dragon druid 'Egg' sat for three days and four nights under the 1.09 million ginkgo trees he planted in the Northeast Shelterbelt, and became a legend, and I don't know if this huge forest that has dyed one-third of the Ainook Desert green has also touched the mother earth goddess Fontia, 'Egg' actually awakened the extremely rare druid specialty of [Emerald Dream].

In 1347 in the Vale calendar, on the night when Vasa's reign of less than ten years before he signed the alliance treaty with the orcs, he was assassinated under the escort of ten thousand armies, and half of the tent was stained red with blood.

That night, the black dragon 'Li Weiwu' looked at the starry sky from the Great Glacier, silently leaped into the ranks of the legendary Wanderer Assassins, and awakened the [Shadow Master] specialty.

In 1348 in the valley calendar, the eleventh year after the death of Alemander IV, the intensity of the Tassel civil war reached its peak, and the elven tribes in the northern Verdas Forest marched south, ending the protracted civil war of Tassel in one fell swoop, retaking their homeland and rebuilding the elven kingdom.

Among them was a military advisor who was revered by the elves named Lucifer.

That year was also the 'legend' that belonged to the counterattack of this moon elf.

Even because of this great victory after thousands of years, it has won the attention and appreciation of the elven main god Kerelon.

At this point, many beings still don't know that this Moon Elf, who has devoted himself to the great cause of the Elven Nation, is a three-sided spy who believes in Corellon on the surface and secretly serves Rose but is actually loyal to Levi.

In the year 1352 of the valley calendar, the white dragon bard 'Li Weine' successfully escaped from prison and spread all the way to the north of Corell.

On the eve of several splits coming to arrest him, this white dragon sang in one fell swoop about the 40,000 troops of the Saarbarians who had gone out to fight against the Saar barbarians in Santilburg, and the death was more and more bizarre one by one.

The fame of [Wings of Madness] immediately spread across the continent of Corell.

At this point, the No. 9 split, the third-to-last promotion legend, awakened a strange specialty called the diametrically contradictory [Silent Void].

If it weren't for Levi being asleep, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to help but check one or two.

In the year 1356 of the Valley Calendar, the Red Dragon 'Livier', who was in the bottomless abyss, finally achieved the legendary achievement of 'Hundred Wins Champion' in the Death Arena after defeating a challenge from a legendary tyrant from the Alien Plane with an absolutely crushing attitude.

On that day, all the demons watched as the Red Dragon Tyrant, who had crushed the challenger to the ground, dragged the 'dry bones of the giant' from the throne of the Death Arena and smashed it into shattered dust, and then sat down on it himself, bathing in the surrender of thousands of demons.

It's just that it may surprise Levi a little that the legendary specialty that Levier promoted to is not [Legendary Battle Fury], but...

[Endless Anger]: No one can drag me into the abyss of death until my anger is vented!

At the end of the year 1357 in the Vale calendar, the fallen god Moandor was once again awakened by the cultists, and Correll Laumoheim could only go to the 'banishment' again, but this time there was no 'other Levi' to intervene in advance, and the situation was more serious than that of Moonshadow Island, but it did not have any impact on the distant Northlands.

At the beginning of 1358 in the valley calendar, as a stand-in for Levi who stayed behind to deal with government affairs after he fell asleep, the silver dragon mage 'Levi', who was buried in a pile of case papers, suddenly raised his head and rarely showed a bookish smile.

Iggy behind him seemed to look back as if he was aware of it, and congratulated:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the last legend has finally been completed. ”

The other priests who heard the news were also shocked, and then fell into a sea of dragon's farts in ecstasy.

Levi felt the specialty called [Extreme Super Demon], but he smiled humbly and said:

"I haven't had time to be promoted yet, and it's a shame that I still lack the legendary expertise of the Warlock profession after all. ”

This old Versailles declaration choked on all the legal professionals present, even if they were used to licking dogs, they couldn't withstand such a critical attack!

The heart said Nima, their group of people may not even peep into the gate of the legend in this life, and their boss has been crushed back and forth on this threshold ten times in a row, and the threshold is about to be crushed!

Why is this talking about human language?

On the contrary, Igsh has long been accustomed to the temperament of his own boss, and said very calmly:

"We're already working on prosthetic modification and bloodline editing, and maybe in our lifetime, we can realize what you call a cyber dragon between machine and creature, and maybe become a warlock. ”

"I hope so. ”

Levi sighed, then asked:

"How's it going?"

"It's business as usual, rest assured. Eagle responded.

"That's good... In this way, at least the citizens can live a peaceful winter feast again. ”

Yes, it's the annual feast of the East again.

Just as he did twenty years ago, Minas still remembers the streets and alleys full of magic lights, the trees full of gifts and sweets, and the sky full of brilliant fireworks.

Merely... A lot of things, after all, are different.

At least there are fewer smiles on people's faces.

The will of a kingdom or even a city-state can be felt by the people who live in it.

Since nineteen years ago, Zeellandia has relaxed its conscription requirements.

If this were normal, people would have fallen into a carnival.

Because unlike other city-states, the benefits of joining the army in Zeellandia are simply from birth to earth...

Well, it's not like you can sign up for the military from birth... Rather, as long as you join the army in Zeelandia, if you unfortunately die in battle, then your descendants will be able to enjoy a fully covered life education until they reach adulthood.

In addition, the pension is really generous enough, so many people don't mind, and can even be said to rush to sell themselves to the government.

In just twenty years, the army of the city of Minas Stiris alone has tripled to a staggering 150,000.

You must know that Cormier, far south of the Great Desert of Ainook, has less than 500,000 permanent troops.

But it was a vast kingdom with a population of over 10 million, and Minas Stiris was just a free city-state in the Northlands.

If it was placed in Jishui City, the most prosperous city in the Northland seventy-six years ago, it would be equivalent to one soldier among the four people, and the other three people needed to bear his expenses.

And even today, for Zelandia, which now has a population of nearly two million, this number is still a heavy burden.

I am afraid that in the entire Northland, only the prosperous economy of Minas Stiris can support the huge consumption and logistics of such an army.

And even so, the people living in the Northland can clearly feel it.

Nineteen years ago, when the cities of the Northland announced the contraction or even closure of their treaty ports except for Moonshadow Island, the economy of the entire Northland, which had taken off, began to shrink at a rate visible to the naked eye.

It is impossible for the small population of the Northlands to absorb the huge industrial capacity of the Northlands.

Had it not been for Zelandia's timely opening of the small dimensional trade to Batow's Hell and to other safe planes, the slowdown of goods in this market would have only worsened.

The shrinking of the market will inevitably lead to overcapacity, and even with the repeated subsidies and macroeconomic control of domestic factories, workers and citizens can clearly feel that they have less and less money in their pockets.

Business in restaurants and even in the service industry was even more depressed.

For example, in the 'Axe and Helmet' tavern at this moment, the daughter-in-law of Iron Hammer looked at the few tables of guests in her tavern with a sad face, and sighed:

"How long do you think this situation will continue, if it continues like this, I'm afraid our tavern won't even be able to break even. ”

She didn't say the word 'bankruptcy' and felt taboo.

On the contrary, the hammer looked at it, "Isn't there still a municipal subsidy? At least in this year, I don't know how many people's extravagant expectations are to be able to guard a restaurant with such peace of mind, not to starve or freeze, do you know? I heard that on the side of the Silver Moon Federation, another large tannery has closed down this year, and most of those who build a nest with paper shells on the street are laid-off workers who have come from there to beg for a living. ”

The daughter-in-law of the hammer immediately fell silent.

Anyone who is afraid of comparison, listening to his own hammer is rare to analyze with himself, it seems that his own life has been calculated.

They were even more proud that at least their son had a stable job at the Golem Workshop in Zeellandia.

The only thing that worries them a little is that at this juncture, all military-related industries are overly busy.

No, my son just came back for a winter feast and rushed back overnight, saying that there was still an urgent debugging task that could not be completed.

As busy as his son, there are also those old friends of Hammer.

In previous years, although it was not as rare as it was twenty years ago, at least a few people would get together every once in a while.

This year, only Herbert had a hot meal with Hammer on the way during his inspection, and he didn't even drink wine, saying that he was worried about drinking and making mistakes.

The hammer daughter-in-law sighed, went back to the back kitchen and had a long meal, and then came out with a big bucket and ran out.

"Where are you going this freezing day!" Hammer was immediately startled and got up to stop her.

But the hammer daughter-in-law shook the bucket full of clean food in his hand and said:

"Well, it's a waste to keep the extra ingredients, so I'll take them and share them with the refugees. ”

Seeing that he was the daughter-in-law of the Iron Hen who wished that an egg could be broken into two in the past, Iron Hammer was actually rare to have kindness, and he also raised his hand with a smile, and said in a serious tone:

"Go, go, slow down, slippery. ”

This is just that the hammer daughter-in-law came back much faster than he expected, and when he saw the daughter-in-law carrying the empty bucket, she asked with a solemn face:

"Hammer, you say... Who are we guarding against with so many soldiers in Zeelandia?"

Although she doesn't know much about a female dwarf, it seems that there is no hostile force in the entire Northland that is worthy of a war.

Hammer replied nonchalantly as he looked at the newspaper:

"Maybe it's the undead of the South, maybe it's the Orcs of the North... Who knows. ”

He paused, and suddenly said a little strangely, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"When I first went to distribute food to the refugees, I suddenly saw a lot of dragon knights rushing out of the barracks, which was terrifying. ”

When Iron Hammer heard this, he only felt that a basin of cold water had been poured on him in winter, and he raised his head in disbelief and asked:

"You... Say what?"

Before his daughter-in-law could answer, the streets outside the tavern resounded with the sound of armoured vehicles, magic motorcycles, and infantry footsteps as they passed.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"They're all assembling towards the East Gate, and it's... Is there going to be a war?"

The guests who were originally dining in the restaurant didn't have the heart to eat when they saw this battle, and they all leaned on the windowsill and watched with pale faces.

The daughter-in-law couldn't help but run to the door of the restaurant, her eyes stunned.

At this time, she suddenly heard the sound of heavy footsteps behind her, and looked back in amazement, and saw that her husband had put on the old armor that had been shelved in the warehouse for half a century, and walked towards her with an axe and a hammer.

"Take good care of the house and wait for me to come back. ”

Before she could come to her senses, the hammer was about to burst out of the door.

The hammer daughter-in-law, who didn't react until this time, hugged him from behind, and suddenly cried bitterly:

"No, you come back to me! You've been retired for years, where are you going!"

"I'm sorry... This time, things may not be the same, and the city-state... Need me. ”

He was constrained by the same non-disclosure agreement he had made twenty years ago, and he couldn't confide in his family about that possibility.

As he spoke, he cruelly took his daughter-in-law's two hands around his waist and slowly broke them apart, rushed into the torrent of the army without looking back, and rushed towards the east gate without hesitation.

In the night sky in that direction, you can already see the faint rising fire in the sky and the thick smell of grass and wood ash.

It was the pungent smell of the burning of the stubble left over from the endless countryside.

"No... You're back... I'm scared!"

In front of the tavern, only one female dwarf was left kneeling helplessly on the snow, wailing and crying bitterly.

Fear, born of the unknown... Also afraid of losing.
