Act IX
The War of the Crowns, held in Isrul, the land of the dead, is a duel centered on the three major forces and five families, each of which summons the most famous heroes in history as heroic spirits through the magic of the Farran Fortress, and fights each other to determine the winner.

The victorious will receive a ten-year ownership of the Fort Francis, a fortress that has existed since ancient times, and which hides many secrets and treasures, and even after thousands of years of exploration, new discoveries can still be made.
The summoned Heroic Spirits will gain access to the goddess's abode and ascend to the throne of the gods after victory.
That's pretty much what Rosen knows about the War for the Crown.
As for the distinction of ranks and the embodiment of strength of some heroic spirits, as well as all kinds of surrounding information, Rosen is also well aware, on the whole, the so-called crown war is more like a ritual, and it seems that only in this way can the door of the French fortress be opened.
Langton may have entered the war just to prove himself, and Rosen was not unfamiliar with the so-called goddess's abode, he just wanted to visit the fortress of Fran.
Now, Rosen and Langton are standing in front of a huge stone door.
The gray door frame is written in ancient characters with unknown sentences, showing a mysterious and majestic appearance, and the other end of the door reflects the scenery of the world like a mirror, which is said to be the effect of teleportation magic.
"So, is this the portal to the battlefield?"
Rosen looked up, the door was standing silently on the ground, there were no special buildings around it, and somehow, he suddenly thought of the portal on the edge of the capital of sin, and the two were unexpectedly similar in some way.
"Yes, since the battle of the Heroic Spirits has the potential to affect others, the Crown War is generally fought in this half-plane, which is said to be a region that was destroyed before the Holy War, with complex terrain and a certain number of beasts and monsters. ”
Over the course of three days, Langton collected a great deal of information about the Crown War.
Most of these materials were written by their ancestors who participated in the Crown War, and they cover almost every aspect of the half-plane, and are extremely valuable reference materials for Langton.
However, similar information is naturally available in the other four families, so it is not that Langton will be much ahead of others because of this, it can only be said that he will not fall behind in intelligence.
"What about the other summoners?"
Rosen looked around, and there was no one else except a few of Tigris' men who were in charge of guiding them here, not even Langton's father.
"They should have passed through more than one other portal, to prevent the combatants from encountering each other in the first place. ”
Langton touched the ring on his left hand, which was a storage ring, which contained some items that could be used, and the Ludwig family's support for Langton was all condensed in this ring.
"Then let's go, too. ”
Lawson confirmed his status, the ability of the assassin rank has been fully integrated into his body, and Lawson can even sense a huge magic force that is providing power to him from the void, the only difference between him and other heroic spirits is probably that he is not affected by the contract with the summoner.
In addition to revealing their identity, this brand also has a special power, which can give three absolute orders to the Heroic Spirits, which is also a restriction added after some evil Heroic Spirits directly ignore the rules and slaughter ordinary humans in the early Crown Wars.
The two of them walked up to the mirror and stretched out their hands to touch the mirror, only to find that it was as rippling as the surface of the water.
Sticking his fingers out, Langton felt a chilling sensation coming from his fingertips, making him shiver.
As long as you step through this door, then it means that you will participate in this crown war, and it means that you will hand over your life to the heroic spirits around you, and after that, there is no way back.
If it's really like what Karen says, this should be the place where Langton abstained.
But did he give up here after painstakingly studying the summoning ritual of the Crown War, and finding a gap in this intricately structured spell?
He swallowed and looked at the skeleton swordsman beside him.
Lawson had never seen any strong winds and waves, and this level of teleportation circle was not a problem at all, he stretched out his finger, probed the flow of magic a little, and confirmed that there was no danger, before speaking to Langton.
"Let's go. ”
At the same time, he patted Langton on the shoulder.
"Hmm. ”
Langton nodded, as if he had made a decision, and stepped through the door.
Then, the world in front of me changed suddenly.
......
Tower of Sinners.
This tower, located in the south of Isrul, is not used very often.
This is a tower built specifically for the War of the Crown, where the half-plane that serves as a battlefield can be connected, so that Tigris, as the presiding officer, can control the entire situation and avoid some accidents.
At the same time, there are also a few silent elders sitting here, they are representatives of the five major families and other powerful people, through the magic projection, they can observe the battle situation of their own family's descendants in time, and they are also monitoring whether other families are cheating.
Through the projection spell, Tigris saw the scene when Langton and Rosen entered the battlefield.
"The Sixth Man, does this portend anything?"
As a lich, he naturally learned some prophetic spells, but no matter how he divined, he couldn't know in advance what happened during the crown war and its final result, which was not only the uncertainty of the future itself, but also the interference of "that thing" that governed the crown war.
However, in any case, the appearance of the sixth summoner and the arrival of so many powerful Heroic Spirits have added many variables to this crown war, and he, as the host, must be more careful.
The spectators were mobilizing their projection spells to observe the condition of the participants they cared about.
The war has just begun, and generally speaking, at this time, most summoners will choose a suitable location and set up a defensive circle as their stronghold
Tigris observed the movements of the six at the same time, but just as he noticed that Langton's behavior seemed to be somewhat different from that of the other five, and he wanted to take a closer look, the picture suddenly distorted, and then fell into a silent darkness.
"What's wrong?"
Immediately there was a commotion among the spectators.
"What's the situation?"
Tigris immediately summoned his magic to find out if the connection between the half-plane and the Tower of Sinners was normal.
But soon, he discovers something he has never seen before.
That is, the thousand-year-long connection between the half-plane and the Tower of Sinners was actually broken.
