The far north of the continent, the city of oracles.

"My lord, there is news about the elves." With his white wings hanging obediently behind him, he knelt on one knee under the steps of the temple and said respectfully to Noras, the god of light.

On the throne, Noras, who had a hint of silver in his blond hair, looked at the man calmly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "How long has it been since that earth movement?" ”

"It's been half a year since I enlightened my lord."

Hearing this, Noras narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed lightly, and then asked in a pitiful tone, "How is the current situation of the elves?" ”

When the subordinate heard this, he immediately hesitated, and for a moment he couldn't figure out whether Noras wanted the elves to be good or bad.

Most of the celestial clans who are qualified to enter the temple of light to serve the gods know that they are gods, although they seem to have no desires and no desires, benevolence and compassion, and a common heart, but in fact they are deep in their minds and quite moody, although they have never shown fierce feelings, but when he looks at them with those cold and inorganic eyes, the biting coldness that seems to have fallen into the cold pool of the nine shadows is often unbearable for the celestials who are born with the attribute of light--it is simply not like looking at a living person.

Therefore, the celestials who served in the temple were extremely careful when facing Noras, for fear that if they said anything against the ears of the gods, they would be expelled from the temple and even the city of oracles by the gods.

The Celestial Clan who came to report the news this time was naturally one of them.

Deeply bowing his head and not daring to look directly at the face of the God of Light shrouded in holy light, the Celestial Clan carefully recalled the news reported by the Celestial Clan envoy who returned from Azeroth, and then reported back: "My lord, when the envoy of our clan arrived in Azeroth, it was completely closed, and the Misty Forest was completely different from before, and the antidote developed by our Clan had completely ineffective against the current poisonous fog in the Misty Forest, and the healing technique could not be used......"

"Didn't see the elves?" Noras's voice was calm.

The Heavenly Clan's face turned red, and a thin layer of sweat immediately oozed nervously from his forehead, and he replied stubbornly, "Yes." ”

Noras didn't seem surprised, nor did he see the slightest displeasure, and instead asked, "What's going on around you?" ”

"The nearby Terran villages, including the town where the moon and half stones were mined, were destroyed by the fleeing demonic beasts."

Speaking of this, a trace of solemnity appeared in the eyes of the Heavenly Clan, "My lord, the desert kingdom that appeared after the earth moved half a year ago seems to be related to the forces that have been interfering with the Temple of Light in recent years. ”

Noras had little interest in the problem, and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Let the humans figure it out themselves." ”

In this world, the only things that can really make Noras look at it are elves and dragons.

The orcs and dwarves, who were also classified among the five major races, seemed to him nothing more than a joke.

As for humans, they were no different from ants in his eyes, and if it weren't for the use of humans to gather the power of faith, Noras would not have been able to make this inferior race have any connection with him.

When he swept away the Celestials who wanted to speak and stopped, and Noras was the only one left in the entire temple, he finally moved his body slowly.

There was a "click" in the cracks of his bones, and he lowered his eyes to look at the palm, which was once smooth and elastic*, but now it gradually showed signs of aging and slackness.

This body also seems to have been used for decades.

Noras once had the same immortal body, eternal life, and immortal youth as Ansel, but since he discovered it, began to recognize the nature of this world, and began to have ambitions, he was no longer the king of the peaceful corner, he began to yearn for greater power, and a life that he could control for himself.

For this reason, even if he bears an eternal curse, he will not hesitate to do it.

As for Ansel, in fact, like him, he can't escape this fate.

It's just that he has already chosen to resist, and he is looking forward to what kind of choice Ansel will make.

The far east of the continent, the Dragon Domain.

"Don't talk about Azeroth, now you can't even get a little bit of the Misty Forest back!" Sticking out his corroded toes to the dragon king Donaldson, the dragon general Adams said angrily.

Yalian, who was already a young man in Donaldson's arms, turned his head in disgust and crashed into Donaldson's arms, Donaldson smiled and patted him on the ass to appease, but a trace of solemnity gradually appeared in his eyes, "In this way, something is indeed wrong with the elves." ”

Hearing this, Adams' face became more and more solemn, "Could it be the same as before, but the elves are tired of harassment from the outside world, so they closed Azeroth again?" After all, something similar has happened before. ”

"Although Azeroth was once closed, at that time, there would be a meeting of the five clans every hundred years, and you could still see the traces of the elves. Have you ever seen a trace of an elf on your trip this time? ”

"This," frowned and recalled for a long time, and Adams finally had to be deflated, "...... Not really. ”

Looking at the west of the continent, Donaldson's black-gold vertical pupils were filled with an unpredictable light that no one could understand, "In this world, the only thing that can cause the entire continent to move is the elven mother tree that is responsible for the elf race. ”

"The Tree of Life, you say?" Adams thought Donaldson was simply insane, otherwise how could he say such whimsical words, "With that Elven King here, how could there be a problem with the Tree of Life?" ”

"Elven King...... Ansel is indeed very strong, but in this world, there is no existence that can compete with him. Meaningfully glancing at Adams, and then looking to the west of the continent, a deep worry gradually appeared in Donaldson's eyes.

"The Tree of Life, that is not only the mother tree of the elves, but also the support of the entire continent."

And once something happens to the Tree of Life, the Elven King, as its owner, will only face a worse situation than they imagined.

Every time I think about this, Donaldson feels a strong sense of powerlessness over fate.

But, who let this be fate.

It was decided a long time ago that the fate of all of them.

All he could do was wait for that day to come.

Dillon Desert.

Since the earthquake six months ago, the "Sea of Death", which was originally used as a barrier for Dillon, has gradually lost its original power.

So this vast empire located on the Dillon Desert was exposed to the eyes of all races on the entire continent for the first time in such an unguarded situation.

"Your Majesty, all the teams have been assembled!" The imperial general, dressed in silver armor and riding on a war horse, stood majestically at the front of the palace square, reporting loudly to His Majesty the king, who was looking down on the palace city.

In the center of the palace wall, Leon raised his right hand cleanly when he heard this, and with such a simple movement, the square where tens of thousands of people gathered was silent for an instant, so quiet that only the deliberately suppressed breathing of the soldiers could be heard.

"As the first emperor to unify the entire Dillon Desert, I, Leon Cross, have always been deeply proud of it! But now, I'm going to put that pride in the hands of each and every one of you! ”

"Soldiers of the Empire! This desert is the land that gave birth to us! And our only home! You are the last barrier of the Empire! It is the last hope of countless brothers and sisters, parents and relatives! ”

"Now, I ask you - would you like to fight for the ground beneath your feet?!"

"Defend the homeland to the death - !!"

"Fighting for the Empire - !!!"

"It's only been half a year, and Leon's skills in fooling people are almost full." Shocked by the shouts of the soldiers, Cyril, who was standing behind Leon, couldn't help but whisper to Noah.

When Noah heard this, he didn't say anything, but only glanced at Cyril helplessly, and his eyes signaled him not to dismantle Leon's platform at this time.

Cyril has never been a man who does not know what is important, and it is certainly impossible to make trouble in such a time of mobilization.

When his eyes fell on the mages and mercenaries in the army, his eyes finally showed a trace of unbearable, "Many of them are even students......

"'The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband' - this is what Mr. Jade's book says."

"yes." At the mention of Master, Cyrilden was a little lost, "It's been half a year since Master disappeared, and there is no news of him yet, Noah, do you think he will ......?"

The more he talked, the more frightened he became, and by the end, Cyril's face turned white.

When Noah heard this, he couldn't help but be silent.

Although he wanted to comfort Cyril, he was so weak that he vomited blood before Jade's disappearance, which was really not optimistic.

However, seeing that Cyril's eyes were red, Noah finally couldn't help but comfort: "In your eyes, the jade is so fragile? ”

"How could Master have anything to do with the word 'vulnerable'?!" Cyril immediately glared and retorted.

"So, since he's so strong, we have to believe in him." Touching Cyril's head, seeing that he pursed his lips, Noah persuaded again: "Didn't Leon also say that before the opening of the Demon Martial Academy, Jade's whereabouts have always been very mysterious, and it is normal not to appear once in a few years. ”

"That being said, but since I came to Dillon, I haven't seen my teacher for so long......"

When Noah heard this, he finally couldn't help but sigh in his heart - this is the reason why he couldn't help but want to provoke him every time he faced Jade: obviously he was Cyril's serious lover, but he always felt that in Cyril's heart, Jade, as his master, was probably the one who occupied the first place in his heart.

However, Jade's attitude towards Cyril is completely the same as that towards other apprentices, and obviously has no ambiguous thoughts about Cyril, so that Noah can't find a reason to have a seizure.

Although he was a little jealous of Cyril's attention to jadeite, Noah was not completely incomprehensible about this, because when he occasionally looked at himself, Noah would be a little afraid to delve into the true feelings of jadeite in his heart.

From the first time he saw Jade, he knew that such a person who should not have been stored in the world at all would definitely not really belong to someone.

Therefore, even if Jade's appearance, strength, and personality make people unable to find a flaw, Noah never allows himself to take a step beyond Lei Chi.

The kind of stable and long-lasting love when he was with Cyril is the truth he is pursuing.

Jadeite is more like a mirage in the desert, even if it is always reflected in the eye, it will never get closer.

Of course, it doesn't make any sense to say this qiē now.

Leon's words to the warriors, although there is a suspicion of back-hitting, after all, those countries outside the desert, most of the current actions are limited to understanding and testing.

However, Leon, who has the ambition to unify the entire desert, has never been a king.

Those humans outside the desert who regard mages as heretics and devils will not give Dillon, who is committed to training mages, any chance to argue.

Therefore, instead of waiting for the humans outside the desert to be fully prepared, it is better for Dillon to take the initiative to attack first, and perhaps let those ignorant humans who have been relying on the Celestial Clan to survive take a good look at how powerful the humans who are good at using their own strength can be!

So, unlike Cyril's immediate concerns, Noah, like Leon, had the same expectation for the war that was about to begin—expecting a new and completely different world to take shape in their hands.

In the forty years of God's favor, Leon Cross, the Emperor of Dillon, who was called the "King of Men" by later generations, officially launched a general attack on the human kingdom under the protection of the Temple of Light, and in only half a year, he conquered more than a dozen neighboring countries such as Tours, Fello, Scanddar, and Ululier, and incorporated them all into Dillon's territory, and since then, Dillon has become the human kingdom with the most extensive territory on the mainland.

In the forty-fourth year of the gods' reign, the Temple of Light integrated all the human nations under it and officially declared war on the Dillon Empire.

In the same year, Andy, the new Pope of the Central Temple, announced to the entire continent that the Temple of Light had secretly captured demonic beasts and indulged in its crimes of attacking humans in the hundreds of years since its establishment, and bitterly affirmed the Temple's numerous sins of fooling mankind, demagoguery, and slaughtering countless innocent mages.

As soon as these words came out, the human world was in an uproar.

Later, the new Pope Andy officially defected from the Temple of Light, and his subordinates originally belonged to the Knights Templar, and under the leadership of the regiment leader Armand, they went to the Dillon Empire with Andy, becoming another backbone of the Dillon Empire's foreign wars.

The influence of the Temple of Light in the human kingdom on the mainland has been declining since then.
