A millennium ago.

In front of the great kingdom of Elrios...... In the invincible Pierre, to be exact? Before King Elrios, all the kingdoms could only tremble and bow down before King Elrios.

To the north is the autonomous district of Erios; The Okadian League was completely crippled, and it seemed that it could no longer hold its head up; The tribesmen of the Quartet pay tribute year after year, just to ensure a peaceful sleep. Elrios' treasury is filled with treasures from around the world, ranging from elven and dwarven artifacts to relics from before the Cloud Age.

Pierre? Erios' younger brother Emir? Elrios did his best to support his brother. Pierre? Elrios' greed is as never-ending as strength, Emir? Elrios could only find a way to take the evil things that were difficult to hide on himself.

Emir secretly rejoiced that his brother seemed to be obsessed with keeping the Elrios family alive for generations, and most of the time he was willing to make a gesture to the unknown people.

The good emir did not know...... Pierre was just waiting for an assistant who would one day help him leave the world of Seerland. Pierre is aware of the existence of the Time Calamity, and his research has achieved great results, even if there is no road marker, it is possible for a very small number of individuals to complete the cosmic journey. He trusts that his descendants will do it for him.

Pierre doesn't care about anyone. All he had to do was flee on his own.

Elrios grew older. In order to keep his family's rule forever, the King of Mages began his own arrangement.

Clearly, he carved a vast circle across the territory of Elrios's core land, and imprisoned the awake five-colored dragon kings on the walls of the pure white city, hoping that they would one day submit to the kingdom. Even the pope of the Holy See was replaced by him with his own henchman.

Secretly, he developed the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds", an intelligent machine that guards his family and kingdom in the shadows. In the end, he even allowed half of his soul to enter the sea of clouds, permanently changing the rules of the sea of clouds.

The third major system "secret ritual" in addition to arcane and divine arts was artificially created in this way. As long as the Legendary Spellcaster crafts a certain arcane spell, he or she can create a magic weapon called the "Secret Ritual Weapon", which gives the user equal or even better combat power than the arcane caster of the same level. Elrios hopes that these precious weapons will be in the possession of those of his blood in the future, and will become the armaunts of the kingdom.

Crafting the Ritual was harder than Elrios had imagined. It's just that half of the soul creation ritual system is completed, Pierre? Elrios himself became unusually weak. The curse of aging, which had been slowed down by him, began to spiral out of control at an irrepressible rate.

Feeling that his time was running out, Pierre was determined to fall into a deep slumber as soon as possible. He killed his brother Emir and all his descendants with his own hands, and then ceased self-consciousness beneath the Pure White City, sealing his time forever.

……

Pierre married six wives, but had few children, all of whom were mediocre. Each of the children had the ambition to believe that they would succeed to the throne after Pierre's death. Pierre uses various secret methods to empower each child, and uses the magic of confusion to order them not to kill each other.

But when it comes to secret weapons, Pierre hides how they are made. At present, the number of his descendants is far from enough, and he needs to be the family to spread out, and after there are enough candidates for the secret ritual warriors, it is worth casting more secret ritual weapons.

On the day Pierre sealed himself, the city of pure white set off a bloody storm. Even the Pope, who was originally absolutely loyal to Pierre, lifted the confusing ban imposed on him by Pierre at this moment and began to secretly add fuel to the fire. He skillfully threaded the needle and gathered all the legendary spellcasters of the cloud world who were not loyal to the kingdom.

The descendants of Elrios have no power, but they are easily fooled in front of true legendary spellcasters. The ban on confusion in their minds was lifted, and almost immediately the struggle for power began.

The "Hand of the Sea of Clouds" is tired of coping, it only knows how to protect Pierre's descendants as a whole, and is helpless against the killing between them.

Decades after Pierre's death, his direct descendants became completely extinct. In the end, the kingdom had to be succeeded by Pierre's collateral relatives, who claimed to be direct descendants of Pierre. Thanks to the confusing genealogy, this fact was discovered much later.

Nobody knows...... Pierre also had a child alive on earth.

She was not born to Pierre's six wives, but was the product of the ** master's venting on the maid. She was only seven years old when Pierre sealed herself, and Pierre did not give her much strength. Without the slightest attention, she narrowly escaped the first wave of the most brutal killings.

Nine years after Pierre's death, the tribesmen of the south rebelled against the kingdom's rule and conquered many cities in the south of the kingdom, plundering some nobles, including Pierre's youngest daughter. Because of her beauty and intelligence, several tribes even quarreled over her belonging, and in the end, one of the most powerful leaders of the tribes became her husband.

In the years that followed, she bore her husband a son, who soon became the chief's wife. She gradually adapted to life here, but did not tell her husband that she was the daughter of King Elrios. And in the records of the Kingdom of Elrios, this illegitimate daughter, who cannot be included in the family tree, has long since died in the war.

Decades later, when Pierre's descendants withered, the ten original secret weapons sealed by Pierre, together with the secret method of casting the secret weapons, automatically lifted the seal at the time set by Pierre. In Pierre's vision, there were enough of his own people at this time, and soon one of the best people would feel the existence of the secret weapon and conclude a contract with it. The first contractor will also receive the method of making secret ritual weapons and the method of performing contract trials.

But at this time, the White City was ...... No one is qualified for the favor of the Secret Ritual Weapon anymore.

Until one day, a heroic tribal leader named Grexia came to the White City to participate in the alliance, and he was the first to feel the call from the secret weapon "Heavenly Dome".

The Secret Weapon will always be in the hands of Pierre's descendants. Forever.

Knowing everything, Glexia planned an attack and took away the secret weapon sealed in the White City. Soon, the secret ritual weapons that had been sealed throughout Elrios were also taken away by the tribesmen.

Greccia already had a wife and many children at this time, and Greccia's younger siblings were also numerous. Soon, his younger brother became the owner of the sharpshooter "Tianyi". Under Greccia's arrangement, they desperately gave birth, and did everything to expand Greccia's mother's bloodline.

The "Hand of the Sea of Clouds" did not say a word about this. There was no reason for him to cut off the old master's remaining bloodline, and there was no reason for him to help Glexia attack the kingdom.

Under the development of the Mystic Warriors, the tribal alliance led by Grecia swept across half the continent. After the birth of the legendary Mystic Warriors, they were almost unstoppable. After the first legendary arcane spellcaster belonging to the tribesmen also appeared, statehood became a priority.

Greccia did not divulge her mother's ancestry. With his tribe as the center, and the other six tribes that married him as auxiliaries, Glexia was finally crowned emperor in his later years, to show that his people would never submit to the northern kingdom.

And that kingdom ...... Soon it will be renamed the French State. And the loose Okadian Alliance, which was formed in order to resist Elrios, gradually became a unified federation.

In her heart, Grecia has always felt sorry for his wife. Originally, he only had this one wife, but after getting the secret of the heavenly dome, he took six concubines in one go. Therefore, when his subordinates had the first legendary caster capable of crafting a new Esoteric weapon, he began to build a Esoteric Weapon for his wife, the "World of Light", which was only hers.

However, Grecia's wife did not wait for this day. Shortly after Greccia's mother died, his wife died peacefully. The elderly Grecia often holds the "Bright World" in his hands, reminiscing about the people he loves.

The legendary spellcaster who created the "World of Light" has never created the "World of Light", a secret weapon comparable to the "Heavenly Dome" forged by Elrios himself. Later, the heirs of the empire opened up a hidden ancestral land in the belly of Phoenix Mountain, so that the emperors of the past dynasties could know this dusty history.

For thousands of years, there have been countless people with a little "Errios blood".

But none of them were the sons and daughters of Elrios.

People only know ...... The great Elrios is gone!

-------------------

Inside the belly of Phoenix Mountain.

Compared to the elaborate secret space of the White City, it maintains a rugged cave style. Only the great golden furnace, under the arcane light summoned by the maiden, tells the history of the early years of the empire.

For millennia, every legendary arcane spellcaster and mystical warrior who has qualified to enter here has worked hard to perfect it.

"That's the beginning." Dimi muttered to himself.

There is no noble origin. There is no indelible glory. For a long time, the empire stood here......

There must be a reason for everything. Even what seems to have no reason has a hidden origin.

Even if this origin...... It's just a coincidence of fate playing tricks.

"Destiny," the girl looked up at the majestic Secret Ritual Furnace, "but in this universe, there is no Destiny in the first place. ”

How many coincidences? How many people have unknown adventures?

However, the three great powers stand here, not by illusory luck.

"People say that fate is impermanent, but only people can hold the impermanence of fate in their hands." The girl said.

"Now is the time for us to overcome fate," Dimi nodded, "let's go." Nothing worth looking at here again. ”

"It's time to prepare for the final showdown."

After saying that, the two left the hidden cave in the belly of the mountain side by side. Not surprisingly, there will never be any new secret weapons here.

The arcane light goes out, and the cavern returns to darkness forever.

And in the world outside the cave, the sun is still shining. 8)
