【Holy Alliance, December 13, 478, 6 p.m., Shukoku, Maple Leaf Port, Cabinet Room】

Theodore sat gloomily at the head of the cabinet, and the empty and luxurious conference room was the center of the politics of the Holy Alliance. Just three months ago, representatives of the Cabinet of the Seven met here to adopt a proposal for military action on the island. Since then, the representatives of the Seven Cabinets have not appeared here at the same time. The representative of the Fog Cabinet, Mesfield, the inheritor of the Ancient Spirit Weapon of the Fog Country, Leng Mi, and the representative of the Cabinet of the Sand Interior, Suo Lingji, left Maple Leaf Harbor on the day of the passage of the Thunder Island Operation and never returned. Judging from the current situation, the Sand Country and the Fog Country are already determined to break away from the Seven Nations Alliance. In addition, Toynbee Ross, the representative of the Dragon Kingdom, resigned from his position as the representative of the Cabinet a month and a half after that cabinet meeting, and the new representative of the Cabinet of the Dragon Kingdom has not yet been determined. Qiu Luo, the representative of the Snow Country, is also the Minister of State of the Snow Country, and immediately returned to the capital Shengwang City on the same day. The only cabinet representatives left in Maple Leaf Harbor were Tai Sabei, the representative of the Beast Kingdom, Yun Qing, the representative of the Ning Kingdom, and Puso, the representative of the Tree Country.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Holy Alliance, there was a rule that a cabinet meeting could not be held without the presence of more than half of the cabinet members. This center, which symbolized the supreme status and power of the Alliance, was suddenly eclipsed, and although Yunqing, Taisabe, and Puso were all in Maple Leaf Harbor, they rarely came here.

Theodore let out a long sigh, the situation of the Holy Alliance had gotten worse and worse since the Battle of Ray Island, the various countries were suspicious of each other, and the trust that had been completely shattered. When he was a representative of the Tree Country, he wanted to save the declining alliance by himself, he was a very ambitious man, he wanted to make the alliance great again, and unite all countries out of the shadow of the tragic Battle of Thunder Island.

But one person can't change everything after all, and after he was re-elected as the head of the cabinet, the situation of the alliance falling apart did not change, but worsened. Operation Thunder Island became the collapse of the alliance*** -

He's always blamed himself, though he knew it wasn't his fault that the league got to where it is today. No one would blame an old man for the current situation of the Alliance, but as the head of the Holy Alliance's cabinet for thirty consecutive years, he always felt that he had an unshirkable responsibility.

Bang bang bang –

After a quick knock on the door, a gentle woman's voice came from outside the conference room door.

"Is Mr. Theodore in there?"

Theodore, who was sitting in the lead position of the alliance, subconsciously stood up and said, "Please come in-" The voice was not loud, and he was not sure if the people outside could hear clearly, and if he couldn't hear clearly, he would say it again.

"Thank you-" The woman gently pushed open the door, wearing a ** Shuguo military uniform, this person was the only female general in the Shuguo Wind Chime.

"General Wind Chime, in two hours it will be assembly time, you are the commander of the army of the Thunder Island Operation Tree Country, what are you doing here?"

Wind Chime smiled, and her dark green military uniform couldn't hide her alluring face, "Doesn't Mr. Theodore welcome me?"

Theodore shook his head and said, "Of course you're welcome, but you should have more important things to do now, and it's better to take the time to see me, an old man, to count the army - you are the general of the Shuguo, and you should put the battle and the soldiers first." ”

"I did this two days ago, and after visiting you, I'm going to go to Port 1 to participate in the organization of the army. Wind Chimes walked into the cabinet hall, followed by two men. On the left is a warrior in heavy armor and carrying a heavy sword forged from alloy on his back. On the right is a young ranger in a green robe with a sword hanging from his waist and long hair covering half of his eyes. Wind Chimes brushed the long pink hair under the brim of his hat, and his perfect body was hidden in the puffy military uniform. It is worthy of a woman who will be unforgettable for a lifetime at a glance, and even Theodore, who is in her seventies, is attracted by her beauty.

"Mr. Theodore, you should know both of them!" said Wind Chime, squinting his eyes.

"Of course, the one on the right of the general is His Excellency Hua Ze, the inheritor of the Tree Country, he is a very good young man, and only he and the two inheritors of the cold fan will participate in all the cabinet meetings - the inheritor of the Phantom Dragon Bone Bow, known as the Hand of the Firmament, this Thunder Island operation can finally see your strength. ”

Hua Ze humbly saluted: "Mr. Theodore has won the award, you have worked hard for the Tree Country and the Alliance for many years, and you are an example to everyone. ”

Theodore looked at the heavily armed warrior to the left of the wind chime, paused, and sighed, "I really don't know who this heavily armored warrior is, but if my guess is right, it should be the man of the Hall of Wisdom—"

The warrior put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "In the Xia Nai Hall of Wisdom Mu Linsen, it is a pleasure to meet Mr. Theodore. ”

"Mu Linsen!" Theodore said in surprise, "The thirteen strongest people in the Hall of Wisdom?"

Feng Chime said: "This time, the Tree Country did not send a Wisdom Hall Warrior, and Mu Linsen only participated in this operation as my personal guard. Mu Linsen is a master of the Eleventh Vein Sect, and among the 250,000 coalition troops, there are very few people other than the inheritor who are his opponents. ”

"It seems that His Highness Tsinami is imperative on the operation of Thunder Island. Theodore stepped out of the seat of the alliance merchant and walked in front of the wind chime, a burst of floral fragrance hit him, and said with a sense of disappointment: "I guess you all know the situation of the alliance - this operation Thunder Island is likely to be the last straw that crushes the entire alliance." ”

Wind Chimes looked around, a place that only cabinet representatives could enter, and which should have been sacred and majestic, but now it seemed so desolate that only a gray-haired old man remained here.

"Mr. Theodore, the collapse of the Holy Alliance is not due to Operation Thunder Island, its roots are the Battle of Thunder Island a hundred years ago. Wind Chime said: "One million of the strongest elites from the Seven Kingdoms died in one night, and the alliance blames all the blame on [Thunder Fang], what happened a hundred years ago, is there an ulterior secret." Let's be honest, the purpose of our visit is to ask you to tell us the truth about the battle in the Thunder Island Sea a hundred years ago. ”

Theodore was a little dazed, slightly stunned, his mouth seemed to be muttering something, his eyes stared at the high ceiling with empty eyes, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

Hanazawa frowned and asked, "Mr. Theodore, is the Battle of Thunder Island a hundred years ago really boring?"

Mu Linsen subconsciously reached out and grasped the hilt of the heavy sword on his back, just in case someone launched an attack on the wind chime. But he believed that in front of himself and the inheritor Hua Ze, no one had been able to hurt the wind chime, even the first warrior of the alliance, Gu Monroe.

Theodore shook his head and seemed to be a little restless, and sat down in the seat next to him, panting for breath, and for a moment it was difficult to speak.

"What's going on?" asked Hanazawa, who was the most powerful psychic of the three, and only he could know about this strange sight.

Hua Ze tried to use his spiritual power to probe Theodore's whole body, and found that there was nothing abnormal, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Theodore is very healthy, and it doesn't look like he is being restrained by spiritual magic. ”

"Could it be mind control?" Mu Linsen asked coldly, "The Temple of Wisdom, the Sword of Kings, and Calagon will all use this method to control people's minds. ”

"No way. Hua Ze shook his head and said, "Mind control will leave a corresponding mind control spirit array in the recipient's body, and I didn't find any abnormalities in Mr. Theodore. ”

"So, isn't this mind control?" asked Feng Chime, although she was also a powerhouse who opened eleven veins, her knowledge of spiritual arts was far inferior to that of Mu Linsen and Hua Ze, and she could only pin her hopes on them.

"It shouldn't be mind control. Hanazawa muttered.

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Theodore sat in his chair for a while with a terrible headache, and could barely speak. Just when everyone was in a hurry, Mu Linsen suddenly said: "There is another possibility. ”

"What?"

"The caster's spiritual power is much higher than that of Lord Hanazawa, so you won't notice it at all when you examine Theodore. Mu Linsen said, "But this possibility is very slim, His Excellency Hua Ze is the inheritor of the ancient spirit weapon, even the strongest warrior Gu Monro can't do it to such an extent, this is almost a thought seal——"

Wind Chimes and Hanazawa's eyes widened and they were silent. If what Mu Linsen said was true, then there was still a spirit magician in the world who was far more powerful than the inheritor of the ancient spirit weapon, what was his identity? Why did he refuse to show his face for a long time? What did the Battle of Thunder Island a hundred years ago have to do with him? What was his purpose?

Nothing is known.

At this moment, Mu Linsen said another sentence that alerted the two, "There is another possibility - forced amnestics." ”

"This is impossible, forced amnestics can greatly damage a person's consciousness, and in the long term cause schizophrenia, which Mr. Theodore has been normal so far. "He is the spiritual leader of the Holy Alliance, and if the amnestics are erased, the friends around him will also find out." ”

"But what if the spiritual power of the person who erases his memories is far above Your Excellency?"

Hua Ze took a step back, it all made sense-
