On the second day, in the black-toned Kamanda, which had always been good at silence, with a loud bang, a door on the other side of the Duchy of Ansendil, which was not often opened, was opened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In front of this door, there is a huge circular platform, the history of the circular platform is the same as that of the city, like the giant stone gate of Xinghui University, made of hard boulders, and behind this circular platform is the lake.

People gathered outside the door to watch the magicians come out from one side, all wearing cloaks and hoods covering their faces.

Until they surrounded half of the stone platform - that's when the "main character" appeared.

A young man in a dark blue coat came into view—behind him, a young boy.

No cheers, no applause - the populace of the Duchy of Ansendir had become accustomed to the atmosphere, or rather, in their minds, the festival was not what it meant.

When Ed and Luxenda reached the Round, Christie walked out with two magicians in red cloaks - Christie was dressed in an elaborate gown today.

She is the host today.

This is one of the traditions of the Duchy of Ansendil, simple, crisp - above all, they celebrate something that is not pleasant or moving, but - a source of pain.

"We have come here since the time of despair, and our lives are like poor people floating here, but God, please have mercy on us, please fix our lives in this corner." Christie raised her hand, and in the quiet environment, her voice was clearly heard in everyone's ears.

It's starting to snow - it's not uncommon for the Duchy of Ansendir in this location to snow this season.

Ed stood on the round platform, looked up thoughtfully, glanced at the snow falling, and then turned his head to look at Luxenda, who had nothing in his hand, and Luxenda holding a sword, and he looked guarded at this time, as if trying to get away from Ed as best he could.

How did you participate in this festival so obediently, and you need to participate in it with yourself...... Christie's words, do they work?

"The bravest of representatives, symbolizing the beginning of it all, our lives are tied in two places - please bear witness to our determination. Don't leave us! ”

At this point, Chris's eulogy ended, and Ed saw the magicians gathered on one side step forward, chanting aloud spells from time away, and two magicians behind Christie stepped out—one of them, holding a scroll in his hand.

In front of the round platform, the magician knelt down and raised his hands in the air.

Another magician took the scroll from his hand, and then, unfolding!

At that moment, people held their breath.

Whoa!

In the middle of the lake, a huge head suddenly appeared!

It was a monster with vertical eyes, with rugged skin like stones, and horns on its head—a dragon that looked very similar to Fafjnir's, if Fettnay had been here—and was known as the "Tempter of the Gods" in the lake of the Duchy of Ansendil.

Every five years, the ruler of the Duchy of Ansendir needs to slay the monsters.

It wasn't real, maybe just some kind of illusion spell, but as one of the oldest spells, it still gave people a shock and a real threat.

The rulers of each generation of the Duchy of Ansendir have been men who can be called powerful magicians - in large part because of the monsters of this festival.

The monster spotted Ed and Luxenda on the round platform and roared angrily - it opened its mouth and poked its head out to devour the two young men on the round platform - !

Ed was silent for a moment, then leaped to his feet, dodging a claw attack, and then he moved on the monster's back - people thought his movements were extremely leisurely, but in fact, as he stepped on the monster, a dark blue light flashed from his side.

"Roar!" There is anger and pain in the roar - it is clear that this illusion can no longer be called an illusion, and it needs to be overcome with the power of complete truth.

Ed's pace was still relaxed, and his demeanor didn't change in the slightest.

The monster was seen glowing with a dark blue light, and its roar was an expression of Eddard's strengths - people thought that Ed was just a magician, but his skills as a warrior were not inferior to others, and even far superior.

Seeing such a picture, Christie frowned, she couldn't allow Ed to do all this so easily.

She made a few gestures, and the two magicians in red cloaks suddenly understood something, and a complex pattern faintly appeared under their feet.

Boom!

Ed suddenly felt his body sink, and the monster took the opportunity to jerk his head and throw him down—and the young man fell into the lake!

People whispered - for Ed seemed to have lost his breath after falling into the lake.

Christie's expression became more and more ugly - Ed couldn't just be defeated.

And the monster also sank into the water after Ed fell into the water. No one knows when it will appear.

The calm lasted for a long time, and it was so long that it felt a little uneasy.

Bang!

Suddenly, a huge splash exploded on the surface of the water, even higher than the city walls, and a white splash of water covered the area with a curtain of mist—all of which paused for a moment, and then under the curtain of water, people began to block the mist with their hands—while Christie stared intently at what was happening on the field.

When the people had regained their attention to the round platform after the utter coolness had passed, a figure had appeared there, and a slender figure had reappeared, drenched with water, and black hair sticking to his pale face.

There was calm behind him, a mere inconspicuous wound on his leg that showed that he had fought monsters.

Unexpectedly......

Christie's eyes narrowed.

"Do it." She whispered.

The magicians raised their hands at the command, and the red threads were woven into a cage that enveloped the entire round table!

Ed looked up slowly, not surprised.

No wonder...... Scold.

He tried to raise his hand, but suddenly he found that one of his hands was wrapped in a red thread, and at the same time, a man was lunging towards him!

"Ahh Luxenda said in a loud voice, his sword piercing through Ed accurately!

The civilians all showed shocked expressions, and Christie was already about to breathe a sigh of relief, but her eyes suddenly widened: "No! Stop him! ”

Only to see, Ed's unrestrained hand was raised, and the black vortex quickly formed - Christie never thought that Ed's control of magic had reached such a point.

A smile crossed Eddard's face, and the vortex pulled him in, the sword falling to the ground, the last sound he heard before he lost consciousness.
