First of all, the fief of Duke Carter, the weakest and least popular of the parliamentary family, was called the Grey Fir Domain, which was Caltan during the city-state.

To this day, there are people who have not given up this title, because the city of Cartan has been a transportation artery since ancient times, and today it is located at the crossroads of three empires, which can be described as a golden place. The largest warehouse and trading center in the Cape of Cairn is located in the city of Caltan, and the Carter family pays a large amount of taxes every year to ensure his prestige as a parliamentary family.

At the same time, keeping brown slaves in captivity is a habit that only people in Cartan have, and there happens to be a tall brown slave in the Moon Creek Manor.

Going back a little further, during the city-state period, the lord of the city of Caltan, Archduke Elisifer, had a feud with the Septins for taking his wife, and after his death, the Septins broke through the city gates, but found no trace of his wife and daughter, and the people went to the empty palace and left only clues to the endless sea.

Then, there are the songs and legends that Mr. Za heard when he was younger: the sailors found the wreckage of what appeared to be a Cartan ship in the Endless Sea, and then died one after another because the barnacles were infected with a curse - in fact, they could not stand the brand, but a ballad came from their mouths:

"Grouper, grouper

Fifteen-month-old grouper

Broken fishing nets, broken fishing nets

Broken fishing nets that hide the sun

Blind, blind

A stupid fisherman who is afraid of the sun

Run, run

Fifteen months of grouper"

Implicit in this is a metaphor for the magic net and Ikali, and it is not a ballad that ordinary sailors and fishermen can make.

Combined with what Mu Yan knew, the reason why the blonde Lady Elysifer and her daughter took refuge in the Endless Sea was probably because they were bewitched by Calypsos with the pure white ball, so the two parties made a deal to exchange the pure white ball for the blessing of the sea god. When the blonde arrives at the Endless Sea, she finds herself deceived and imprisoned, which causes the sailors to send a distress signal to try to find a brave man to save them.

The above is the first half of the story, and it is also the information that Mu Yan learned from Luokan, about the past of the Pure White Ball, and the connection between Moon Creek Manor and the people of Caltan.

The second half is the future. It's what he's learned from the game and what he's changed to this part of the history.

In the game, the first information about the White Orb came from the Brotherhood, but that happened in the Dusk Age, which is after 777 A.D. And the specific content is that the Brotherhood is ordered to go to the Endless Sea to find the Pure White Orb - the man sent to the Seven Seas goes under the pseudonym Slark.

There are now clues that Slark is Fello, the founder of the Brotherhood, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Jialan, which explains why such an outstanding prince is not known by most people in the game - he went incognito to the Endless Sea, where he died.

But why did he go?

That's the crux of the matter.

To solve this problem, a brainstorming process is necessary.

First of all, what exactly is a pure white ball?

We already know that it is a large orb of experience that can make a person rise from level 1 to level 90 and become a being comparable to the gods of Iso, Ral, Garton, and more, so it is full of allure to these gods.

Secondly, there is the assumption that it must be taken as a fact: the ball of pure white is currently in the hands of Calypso, the god of the sea, and that it was brought by the former mistress of the city of Caltan, the blonde Lady Elysifer, and her daughter.

With these two points, radiating thoughts around you, it's easy to think of another force desperate for the Pure White Orb, Ikali, and her divine servants Asu and Ral.

In the game, not long after the outbreak of the War of Faith, which symbolizes the Garden Rebellion, Izu travels to the Endless Sea to find Calypso, with whom he begins a battle to determine the ownership of the "Lord of the Waters" - that is, the purpose of his trip is not to capture the Orb of Pure White, but to kill Calypso after "losing the Orb of Pure White".

So the question is, where did the pure white ball go before this?

Combined with the intel about Slark, it's not hard to guess that it was stolen by the human thief. Because of the loss of this experience orb, Calypso was defeated by Iso, the Lord of the Inland Currents, even on his home turf, so that the believers of Nanami were later unable to receive the blessing of the Mother Goddess and suffered heavy casualties, and finally all converted to Isu and abandoned Calypso. Under such a vicious circle, the god of the sea, who betrayed Ikali, also ended up tragically.

It is clear, then, that Slark's theft has a strong purpose - either he is a follower of Ys, or there is some kind of deal between them, otherwise the two things would not appear to be so coincidental.

However, with Mu Yan's understanding of Philo, it is impossible for this guy to become a believer. He was a rather assertive young man, but anyone who had his own ideas would not become a believer and believed in the power given by God - not to mention that he was already dissatisfied with the tower and the mage's overshadowing of the imperial power, and it was impossible for him to fall to the tower now.

Unless he is controlled.

But if you think about the IQ of those people who are controlled by Ikali, can this brain still go to the sea to fish, ah no, touch the ball?

Apparently not.

So the only possibility is trading.

Isu coerced him with something so that he had to do it.

Until the Twilight Age of Slark's journey to the Endless Sea, the barrier above Jialan had always existed, so it was impossible for Isu to complete the transaction himself, most likely by someone else.

Who did you borrow?

This question seems to be clueless, but in fact it is not difficult to answer, after all, a major event happened before this, that is, in the year 776 of the Faith Calendar, Amacer entered the city of France by himself, stood out from the crowd of competitors, won the contest to recruit relatives, and returned with a beauty......

In the plot of the game, no one interfered with the beast tide in Imotru, no one flapped their wings desperately like Mu Yan in Falan City, and naturally no one interfered with the gods' solicitation of Amatsu and Idril.

There is no doubt that both of these men will be followers of Izu.

And Amacer appeared in such a high-profile manner, and was able to leave unscathed, most likely with the support of a tall tower......

In this way, things are strung together.

Amacer's purpose in coming to Blue City is not all about Idriel, he is also tasked with striking a deal with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Fellowo. And according to Philo's skills, most of them have to go through a period of training under the guidance of Amacer before they can become the assassin Slark who crosses the seven seas, otherwise any Sea Clan guard can kill him with a fork.

At this point, only the last piece of the puzzle remains.

What was it about Ikali that impressed Fello?

The answer was in that home visit, in the brother-in-law girl who was at home.

During the conversation that afternoon, Mu Yan shamelessly used some small means, such as a psychic suggestion spell without traces, and an active control of the temperature, which made Xilin feel her heart beating faster and flustered...... All in all, he managed to get a lot of useful information.

This includes Shireen's ambiguous, hidden and unspeakable emotions for Philo.

- In fact, this thing is already written in her story, but because the window paper is not pierced, the girl can cover it up in the name of "story".

As the so-called men chase women in the compartment mountain, and women chase men in the compartment yarn, this principle is basically applicable no matter where it is. What's more, whether it was the strong desire to survive shown by Philo at the king's birthday dinner that day, or the bond shown by the brother and sister at the entrance of the manor that afternoon, it far exceeded the emotions of ordinary brothers and sisters...... Mu Yan naturally had reason to believe in Shirin's status in Fello's mind.

In addition, although Shireen is reluctant to talk too much about that childhood, she also vaguely talks about her mother's fear of the "curse". This occult word immediately aroused Mu Yan's great interest, and he was surprised to find out that Shireen's mother was actually a Turing after he started to investigate...... Even more surprising was that her father had run a seaside along the southeast coast of Turing, so he traveled back and forth between the city of Caltan and the coast......

In other words, it is entirely possible that Shireen is a descendant of the sailors who were contaminated with the curse of the shipwreck, and the curse is not Shirin's mother's "paranoia", but it is true......

In this way, the answer is about to come out: Shireen is also tainted with that "curse", and it doesn't matter what it will look like later, whether she is asleep, turned into a monster, delirious, or needs to be soaked in water to survive properly, as long as she hangs her breath, Philo has a reason to step forward and agree to the deal for the safety of her sister, and go to the Endless Sea to find the Pure White Orb.

Again, this explains why the in-game leader of the "Brotherhood" is Desmon, not Fallo. During this period, there were no bloody battles such as betrayal, usurpation, etc., after all, this matter could only be completed by Fellor, who left on his own initiative and handed over the Brotherhood to Desmond.

Because of this, in the 20th year of the Dusk Calendar, after everything has settled, the player will find a grave in the backyard of Moon Creek Manor, which reads:

"Fallo's body rests here, and his soul sleeps in the depths of the sea."

At that time, Ferry was dead, dying for love, sleeping in the endless sea, and Moon Creek Manor happened to be one of his good memories, so there is such a tombstone......

At this point, every link of the story is strung together to form a logical story, and at first glance it is impossible to tell which is speculation and which is fact. But it also reflects its credibility from the side.

In this way, this Miss Shireen Carter has become a vital link.

Counting the time, the curse is about to explode, and no matter what trouble she is in, it can be understood as a distress signal from Lady Elysippor from the deep sea, no matter what, this signal cannot be known to the people of the Tower, otherwise it will be the starting point for them to break through the endless sea.

This is the biggest opportunity and initiative occupied by Mu Yan.
