Chapter 9: The King's Recovery
Three years ago.
The French kingdom of Elrios, the deepest part of the underground vaults of Thales, the pure white city.
"Palamedes ......," said Corbrian, the Lord of the Crown, hesitantly, "...... Are we really going to do that? ”
He thought he was ready, but when it came to the end, he was still a little hesitant.
"This universe is coming to an end, and time will come to an end in the entire astral plane," said Mr. Palamedes, "and we need the most powerful mage ever seen in the Cloud Age to help us." There's his time magic and shuttle magic...... Maybe there's a glimmer of a chance to survive in the dead. ”
"I wonder what the expressions of Vane and François will be." Corbrian, the Lord of the Crown, said.
"Dig deeper into the study of the sea of clouds to this point and 'restore the truth', and there is still a glimmer of hope for the future of Nicholas among the current legendary mages, besides me," the Black Lord Palamedes laughed, looking at his good friend, "Corbrian, unless the living one appears in front of them...... Do you think they'll believe the story I'm telling? ”
"Actually, you can also choose to make your research results public."
The relationship with them has become so stiff, isn't it because you have been too maverick over the years? Kirbley said reassuringly. We're all saddened by the death of your wife, but we don't need to turn the Black Floating City into an independent city-state that won't allow us members of the Mage Council to step down, right?
"When they're done, they don't know how much time they'll waste," Mr. Palamedes shook his head, "and you'll be enough for me." Unleash the legendary gentleman...... His mind alone is more than all the others. ”
It sounds like I'm being despised too, the Lord of the Crown.
But...... The Lord of the Crowns also admitted that Palamedes was telling the truth.
In the catastrophe of "The End of Time", save Elrios and save the world of Seerland, and the great mage who created Elrios is the best choice.
……
Every legendary mage belonging to Elrios knows it. The Kingdom of Elrios was founded, and when the first king, the great Elrios, "died", he left three major cards for his country.
First, the guardian circle that runs through the land.
Second, the five dragon kings who are located in the "time prison" and are destined to be enslaved one day.
And, finally, the most secret hole cards.
The seal froze its own time, sleeping in the deepest part of the Pure White City...... King Elrios, himself.
The curse of aging engraved in the soul deepens with time, and the sea of clouds can easily cast the magic of time. For 2,000 years, there have been countless legendary mages who have contemplated "time banning", but no one has been able to perfect the legendary magic that has stagnated their own time, except for Elrios himself.
When the kingdom of Elrios collapsed, almost all of the known descendants of Elrios were wiped out, and not even a mage with the ability to awaken the old ancestor could be found. The French Power Kingdom is established, and there will be no legendary mage who is idle to wake up the old guy who is in the "time seal" underground.
The existence of Elrios himself is a secret known only to the legendary mages of Elrios. Even the chiefs of the Council of Mages of Elrios have the right to conceal the existence of Elrios himself from his colleagues who are judged to be "too ambitious" and "unstable" according to their own judgment.
On the throne of the white jade, Pierre Erios, the ancestor of Erios, sat quietly.
He wasn't the white-bearded old mage that Corbrian had imagined, but the appearance of a black-haired boy. He was only fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a spotless white robe, and sat motionless like a statue, not feeling any breath.
"Let's get started." Palamedes took a deep breath.
The two of them have already placed a blockade around the jade throne.
Although it is in one room, when the two legendary mages join forces, it is like a net of heaven and earth.
……
Elrios' fingers twitched slightly.
Then, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Lord Elrios!" Palamedes and Corbrian bowed at the same time, showing respect for the pioneer.
And Elrios sat upright on the jade throne, ignoring the two people in front of him.
"The Aging of the Soul...... One more point. He said softly.
……
Far away.
Ionia, the leader of the Hand of the Sea of Clouds, is admonishing the new members of the Hand of the Sea of Clouds.
Suddenly—
He looked frightened, and then disappeared directly, leaving behind a group of bewildered newcomers of the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds".
……
"What's wrong, Tianyi?" Emperor Dietford III looked at the Secret Spear in his hand.
The "Celestial Sphere" let out a strange roar.
He didn't know that at this time, his wife Lichenda and his friend Hywell's secret weapons were the same.
The stronger the Mystic Warrior, the stronger the Mystic Weapon. The divine weapons in the hands of the three legendary mystical warriors were already powerful enough to generate induction......
Something happened.
But there is no real intelligent secret weapon, and it can't tell the owner what happened.
……
Even though he looks young, Elrios' soul is still an old man in the truest sense of the word.
"A thousand...... More than nine hundred years. It's been a long time. ”
The impact of thousands of years on Elrios in his self-sealing is that his soul has aged for only about a year.
You don't need to perceive the outside world, just look at the state of your soul...... Erios would be able to know how much time had passed since the outside.
There are still 10 to 20 years to go.
Enough is enough.
It's just that...... The person who woke him up was not the person he expected......
……
"Lord Elrios......" Seeing that Elrios completely ignored him, Corbrian was a little anxious.
"Get on your knees." Elrios said suddenly.
Palamedes and Corbrian froze.
"Yu forgives you for the sin of calling Yu 'Your Excellency,'" said Erios casually, "and now, before your King Your Majesty, kneel. ”
Corbrian frowned. Is it true that the historical record of Elios, who is gentle and upright, and who is sympathetic to his subjects, has he slept for too long and is waking up for thousands of years?
"Your Majesty," said Corbrian, the probability...... Also in his and Palamedes' plans, "You once said, 'The glory of the bloodline will be lost, but only the power of wisdom will endure.'" ”
This sentence is a maxim inscribed by Erios himself on the gates of the pure white city.
Palamedes and Corbrian had consulted, and the wise Elrios had long understood that the bloodline of the dynasty could not last forever, even if he was dissatisfied with the fall of the kingdom...... In the current catastrophe, he will not be an enemy of the current Elrios.
Maybe he chose to sleep in order to wait for a genius comparable to himself to be born, so that they could break the shackles of the end of time together.
As expected of Palamedes and Corbrian...... Elrios looked stunned.
And then...... He just laughed.
