There are five continents in this world, and thirteen empires are scattered all over the continent, and it is said that there have been gods in this world, but they are only legends. But the existence of the nine races seems to make people believe that there is a god in this world.

The world's largest continent, the Gert Continent, is located in the center of this world, and the four powerful countries are scattered in this rich land, and today is extremely busy and lively for the main empire, the Sea Pattern Empire, their old emperor Huros recently announced his abdication, and the new throne is inherited by his youngest son Tianyi. Tomorrow is the much-anticipated succession ceremony, people are busy preparing, the whole palace is revealing a busy atmosphere, people are immersed in joy, but they don't know that there is a wave of people in this festive scene.

The sun swayed on the ground through the spots of light of the plane trees, and the drunken afternoon did not dampen the enthusiasm for the next day's ceremony, and in this lively atmosphere, no one noticed the two men in black who were hurrying down the street, and they hurried to a side road at the back of the palace with their heads bowed. The tall camphor shaded the scorching afternoon sun, and two black shadows loomed.

"Why hasn't Helin come yet? It's already past the appointed time!"

"Dich, what are you anxious about, Helin is probably entangled in important matters and can't get out"

"Meishi, if you say that this time it really happens, what benefits can our brothers get?"

"Of course, you don't have to think about the benefits, I'm afraid that Helin will cross the river and tear down the bridge, kill people and kill people, in short, keep an eye on everything, do you hear?"

"Understood, I'm ready for the road ahead. ”

"That's good, do everything according to Ha Lin's orders. The corners of Meishi's mouth hooked a strange amplitude, "I'm afraid that this time the sea pattern city is in a catastrophe." ”

"Hmph!" Dish snorted coldly, "The incident five years ago has already left hatred for Lord Chongyuan, but the poor Emperor Haiwen didn't know that he actually handed over the military power to Lord Chongyuan, just this time, we have a coalition of internal and external, so many people have been dispatched, the soldiers of Haiwen have already been bought by Lord Chongyuan, and Hurose will eventually die......"

The palace not far away looked unusually dazzling in the sunlight, the sea stripe flag swayed and waved, and the servants in the back garden of the palace were busy and methodically making final preparations. The vermilion floor in the hall was wiped clearly, and the maid was discussing the new king of tomorrow in her spare time, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces, but as time passed, a disaster was spreading.

'Knock knock!'

"Prince Tianyi, the emperor has something to order, please go over"

"Okay, got it, you go down first. “

Tianyi, as the little prince of the Sea Stripe Empire, should not be the heir to this heavy throne by him, but this is the decision of Emperor Huros, and no one can shake it. The eldest prince Pan and the second prince Takuya didn't seem to have much reaction to this decision, and there was no dissatisfaction with this decision in the eyes of the two of them, which also made Huros strange for a while, but due to the advent of the ceremony, Huros slowly put his focus on Tianyi.

'Knock knock' on Hurose's door.

"Come in, come in. ”

"Father, you're looking for me. Tianyi bowed and said.

"O heaven, come here to my father, and my father has a few words to say to you. Hurose slowed down and said softly to Tianyi, "Tian'er, are you a little confused about your father's decision, why did he choose you to inherit this throne." ”

Tianyi's dark brown eyes couldn't see the slightest change, and he lowered his head and said, "The child is a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the eldest brother seems to be the best candidate for this position." ”

"No, you're wrong, although Pan, as a big brother, is also very reliable and has a lot of brains, but the ultra-purity of the bloodline is not something that anyone can have......" Hurose sighed heavily.

"......"

"Tian'er, don't question your father's decision, Seawen City seems to be calm, but in fact, the waves are turbulent, this era is not peaceful......"

"Father, what do you mean by that?" Tianyi frowned.

Hurose sat up straight on the bed, "Okay, my God, don't think about it, my father is old, I'll wait to give you this position tomorrow, my father is really tired, he took over this position from your grandfather, and it's been thirty-four years to sit down, you know, I spoil you the most on weekdays, and now that you've grown up, it's time to find out some answers for yourself...... Father can't tell you much now, every word I say inside this palace can be a disaster, the less you know, the better, in a word, there may be something wrong with Seawen City. ”

"Father, what...... What's going on......" Before Tianyi finished speaking, Hurose waved his hand, "Oh my God, I'm tired and need to rest, you go back to the room first and ask Takema about tomorrow's ceremony." ”

Tianyi took a deep breath when he saw this, and when he saw Huros say this, his heart was full of confusion and doubts for a while, but he didn't ask, and it was better not to ask if he shouldn't know, and then Tianyi gently exited the room.

Walking out of the door, Tianyi did not go to look for Takema, but turned around and walked into the depths of the corridor. Tianyi's figure skimmed past the doors decorated with expensive wood and ornaments, and stopped in front of a dark green door.

Tianyi took out a key from his waist and gently lifted the dusty lock on the door, Tianyi lowered his head and thought about it, but still inserted the key into the lock, and with a slight turn, he opened the lock that was about to rust.

'Crunch, crunch' Tianyi pushed open the heavy wooden door, and a musty smell of many years rushed towards him, Tianyi ignored it, and walked in gently to close the door.

Looking around, it was pitch black, the curtains blocked the sun, Tianyi walked to the window with his senses, opened the curtains that had not been opened for a long time, and the harsh afternoon sun shone in. The facilities are simple but exquisite, with several portraits of young girls hanging on the pale blue walls, and a thin layer of dust on the huge bed. Tianyi turned and walked to the bedside table, picked up a small sculpture, blew the dust off it with his mouth, and lowered his head in thought.

"Sister, are you okay in heaven...... My father talked to me today, but it made me even more worried, this succession ceremony seems unusual, sister, what should I do......" said a line of tears flowing down the young man's fair face.

At this time, on the Wutong Road not far from the palace, a middle-aged man in a gray robe looked around.

"Who?" the middle-aged man vigilantly touched his waist with his hand.

"Is it Lord Harin? It's me, Dich. "Two men in black came out from behind the tree.

"Have you all arranged it?" said Ha Lin, pulling out a scroll from his pocket.

"It's been arranged, just waiting for your news. Mei Shibi replied respectfully.

"That's good, this scroll has all the plans for the action, according to the arrangement. ”

"Understood. ”

"Nothing must go wrong tomorrow, or you and I will die. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the strongest assassin in Howling Moon City is absolutely foolproof. Dish smirked.

The corners of Helin's mouth curved, "That's good, tomorrow is Hurose's death, after so many years of preparation, I finally didn't let that old thing Hurose find any clues, after the ceremony, you will wait to enjoy countless glory, hahaha." ”

After saying that, Ha Lin and the man in black retreated in different directions, and the Wutong Road returned to its former tranquility, as if nothing had happened here.

In the blink of an eye, the sun set in the western mountains, the sky gradually darkened, and looking down from the top of the highest mountain range of the sea, the Karentesli Mountain, the lights were lit up one after another, and the lights of thousands of homes were on.

On the eve of this grand ceremony, the people in the city of Sea Pattern changed their usual tranquility and were still lively, and children were running and jumping happily on the streets, which was a very happy time for these innocent children

The palace was already crowded with people, and the banquet on the eve of the ceremony was filled with the rich people of the city and envoys from other countries and even the mainland. This succession ceremony has already caused a sensation in the world, and people are talking about why the old Sea Pattern Emperor suddenly announced his abdication, and it is really a bit ridiculous that the most powerful Sea Pattern country on this continent should be handed over to his little prince who has just come of age to govern. The banquet halls of the palace are filled with beautiful music, people raise wine glasses to expand their networks with each other, and young men and girls talk and laugh in groups. Their elders smiled and introduced their juniors to the others, and their expressions all revealed pride, after all, most of these young boys and girls were princes and princesses from various countries, and some even came to pull the red thread to promote a marriage. However, the strange thing is that the old emperor Hurose only said a few polite words and then disappeared, and there were still many soldiers guarding in such a relaxed atmosphere, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuation on their faces.

In the secret room away from the banquet hall, there were four soldiers in armor waiting for something, they were standing at the four corners of a rectangular stone platform, their faces were cold, and the candles and candles in the four corners of the stone platform jumped and jumped, reflecting their faces, and the small secret room actually made people a little breathless.

'Click'

With a sound, the door of the secret room slowly opened, and Hurose walked in coldly.

"Emperor!" the four soldiers bowed and roared.

"Okay, don't have so many rules with me, I'm here today, I guess you all know something in your hearts. Hurose said slowly.

The four armored soldiers were silent.

"Nudosi, Sorens, West, East, you four have followed me for so many years, and you have guarded this secret room for so many years, you must be a little tired. Hurose walked around the stone platform, and finally stroked the cold stone platform and said.

"Emperor, what are you ......," a soldier said sharply, raising his head.

"Don't worry about it, I think you have misunderstood, this sword has been sealed in the dust for too long, and it is time for him to come out and see the light. After saying that, Hurose pressed the switch on the side of the stone platform, and the stone platform suddenly vibrate, and then a rectangular surface sank in the center of the stone platform.

"Four Guards!"

"In!"

"Unsealing"

After saying that, the four soldiers each took out a dark black gem, and put the gem into the grooves at the four corners of the stone platform, and just as it fit perfectly, a dark blue light emitted from the central depression, and it was fleeting, and then a copper-green box rose.

Hurose stepped forward, took the box in his hand and said slowly: "Tomorrow's ceremony, you will be made public again, I don't know how much commotion it will cause, the Sea Tattoo Kingdom has been silent for so long, there are always some people who are ready to move in the dark......"

"Emperor, you mean ...... tomorrow," one of the guards exclaimed.

"I'm just suspicious, Nu Duosi, this sword, guarded by you, will become Tianyi's sword from tomorrow, understand?" Hurose looked blank.

"Emperor, don't worry, our four guards will swear to defend the Tianyi Prince. Nu Duosi roared with a determined gaze.

Hurose slowly put the box in the groove and walked out, middle-aged, his back looked a little lonely and old.
