On the outskirts of the pure white city.

On a small hill in the middle of nowhere.

"Listen, Victoria," Lizzie struggled to keep her composure, pressed against the tip of the cold umbrella of the "Bright World" against the back of her neck, "You ......"

"Don't be impatient, Your Excellency," said the girl, "lazily, "I won't hurt you." When the 'Eternal Blood' arrives, I will let you go. ”

The leaders of the French powers rarely resorted to high-handed tactics. There are even some people, in the face of the orders of the legendary mage, who still do things from their own ideas.

After all...... Whether it is the stern Lord of the Blue Sky or the generous Lord of the Stars...... It is rare to hear of them using punishment to punish ordinary people.

Like this one...... The girl who followed Lijie and was about to wait for the "Eternal Blood" to appear ran into such a group of people.

I don't know where I heard the news, but after coaxing away the original soldiers, these people wanted to take Lijie away by themselves.

The girl estimated that they might be "hardliners" who were dissatisfied with the easy release of hostages by the French state, and that the French power country was rare.

But...... It doesn't matter anymore. If Lijie is really taken away by them, I am afraid that it will take a lot of work to find the "eternal blood".

Fortunately, I also have an emergency plan. In other words, for young girls, this is originally a safer and more feasible plan.

Three times five divided by two knocked down those who didn't have long eyes, and the girl herself controlled Lijie.

However, after all that, she had no intention of sending Lijie directly to the original location.

Just let yourself ...... Let's be reckless for a while.

……

So, there is the scene just now.

In the name of "escort", the girl "invited" Lijie here.

As a place to fight with another self, this hill couldn't be better. As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but rocks and sparse weeds.

There will be no idle people waiting to disturb you.

It's just that...... Even if you are in a hurry, use this method......

"What are you looking for him?" Lijie stared at the girl's eyes.

At first, Lijie thought that the girl, like the gang just now, was dissatisfied with the French Powers' decision to release her, or that she wanted to vent her hatred for Okard by lynching her. But she soon understands that the other party's real target is not herself, she is just a bait to lure the target into a trap.

Her target is Wei. The "eternal blood" of Okard and the Holy See.

Li Jie now regrets very much why she didn't hide her relationship with Wei. Now, he has become Wei's weakness.

"You disobeyed orders," Lijie took a deep breath, "do you understand?" ...... like this"

"It doesn't do me any good?" The girl asked calmly.

"You'll be stripped of your military power and get out of this war," Lizzie advised, "and it's too late to turn back." ”

She stared into the girl's eyes. "The Bright World", rumored to be a female warrior full of brightness...... Why would she ......

"I'm not a soldier in the first place," the girl pouted, "and I'm not interested in leading soldiers into battle." ”

"Then you should at least have a sense of warrior glory!" Li Jie glared at the girl angrily, if it weren't for the invisible invisible handcuffs on her wrists, she would have wanted to punch the girl in the face on the spot, "I actually relied on this kind of indiscriminate means!" ”

Wei Jun will never lose to you, Lijie meditated.

"Wei is not a warrior either." The girl said softly.

"How do you know his last name ......?" Lijie was surprised. Those who know the surname "Eternal Blood" should only be able to do so with the Speaker!

The girl was silent.

I'm sorry, the girl thought to herself. It's true...... I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt Lijie here.

But it can't be explained yet.

It's not time to explain.

"He's coming." Suddenly, the girl said.

……

If possible, Wei would like to use the "Eagle Eye Technique" and the "Eye of Chaos" to directly snipe the girl's head from a distance. The layers of defensive magic that interfered with ranged attacks in the vicinity forced him to abandon the attempt.

The enemy was very close to Lijie, and he didn't dare to blow the entire hill away with a wide range of attacks at once.

In the end, Wei had no choice.

He could only use arcane magic to summon a levitating shield that surrounded him on three sides, and approached the girl's place from the front.

The right hand that held the Secret Rite Musket "Eye of Chaos" tightly, and the palm of his hand was slightly sweaty. As soon as the situation changes, attack immediately.

"Wei!" Seeing Wei in a white robe and wearing a mask slowly approaching, Li Jie shouted.

"Lijie." Wei said in a low voice.

He looked at the girl behind Lijie: "And you...... You win. Now here I am. ”

He still underestimated another Earth visitor, Wei thought resentfully. Obviously, he has tried his best to hide his identity, but the opponent not only realizes who he is, but also forces himself to show up by holding Lijie hostage.

The maiden did not speak.

She looked at the man in front of her.

Short black hair, dark eyes like a dormant volcano suppressed anger.

This is Wei Yuanhe.

Another "me" in the world.

Forget most of the experiences on Earth, another parallel to yourself in this world.

“…… It's ironic. ”

The girl had also imagined a face-to-face confrontation with her other self. More than once she wondered how she would have felt: was it jealousy? Sadness? Or anger?

However, when this moment really came, the girl's heart was unprecedentedly calm.

The strong emotions before have gradually faded away at this time.

In addition to the mere sense of familiarity, the "self" standing in front of him seems to be another person who has nothing to do with him.

The memories and experiences of both sides are completely different. I'm afraid that no matter what, I can't go back to the state of having only one Wei Yuanhe.

……

"Let go of Lijie." Wei spoke. The girl in dark red armor held Lijie hostage with the "Bright World", and her long golden hair danced in the wind.

"If you're going to blow the whole manor away with the same attack as last time," said the maiden, "I promise you, you won't be spared yourself." ”

"I wouldn't do that," Wei said, and he also felt a sense of déjà vu from the girl, "We're just...... Need to talk. ”

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

Meanwhile.

In an oasis in the Great Okad Desert.

The inhabitants of Floating Sand City are slowly leaving the city from one side of the city. An hour earlier, they had been ordered that all of them must leave immediately, carrying only the bare minimum of possessions.

Fusha City will be temporarily conscripted for military use. All civilians and civilians must obey immediately and unconditionally.

His Excellency the Great Speaker will compensate them for their losses.

The vast majority of people silently obeyed orders. The very few people who cared about their family property saw the undead guards roaming the streets, and they also dismissed the idea of resisting.

The top of a mage tower.

"Speaker," Admiral Armstrong bowed to Speaker Nicholas, "and the evacuation of the people will be over in five minutes." Please instruct. ”

Nicholas nodded slowly.

"The time has come."

……

Nine hundred years ago.

In the middle of the continent surrounded by mountains, in an underground cave.

An elderly man with messy hair, a hooked nose, and a light gray robe sat on a high place, overlooking the nearly 100 people kneeling below.

There are nearly 100 men and women, old and young, all dressed in rags, but there is a resolute color between their eyebrows. Silence enveloped the entire cavern.

"I'll give you one last chance," the old man on the high ground stood up, "Anyone who wants to quit, stand up now, and I'll let him go." ”

No one spoke.

The old man nodded slightly. There is no way he could let anyone who knew the secret get out of his plan alive.

It couldn't be better now.

He pointed to a young man kneeling in the corner, "Tell me." Your name. ”

"The owner of my name is dead," replied the boy calmly, "and now I am only a living corpse, your eyes, your tools. ”

The old man looked satisfied.

"From this day forward, you of the past will 'die,'" the old man's voice echoed through the dark cavern, "and you will begin a new life in Elrios with a new name and identity. You will be soldiers, officials, or merchants, but wherever you are, I will be the only one...... Okade is your true master. ”

The old man paused.

"You will each lie dormant and struggle and wait until My command comes. I grant you permission to entrust your mission to those you trust most before you die, for there are those who will not receive any orders until they die. You are the blades of Okad, and only I have the right to unsheath you. If I die...... and you will be subject to my offspring. ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

"Remember, your only mission is to wait for my will. You are the one you play until I give you orders," the old man turned his gaze to the previous boy, "tell me, what would you do if you became an officer in Elrios and your superiors asked you to kill me?" ”

"Unless you ask me to betray," replied the boy respectfully, "I will take your life." ”

"Very well," said the old man, "just do it." Go ahead and climb to the top at all costs. In this way, you can realize the value of your tools...... Ahem! ”

The old man suddenly coughed violently. Time is running out for himself, he thought. The damage caused by Erios was worse than expected.

I'm afraid that most of the people here can't wait for their own words to give them orders. In the future, it will be their children and grandchildren who will command them......

"Each and every one of you has a blood feud with Elrios," the old man's voice suddenly rose high, "try to live." Survive until the day of revenge against Elrios. ”

There was silence in the cavern. There was a fire burning in everyone's eyes.

"You are the wedge that destroys Elrios. If you die, you must pass on this contract and let your successors continue the mission. The world will understand...... Our will is stronger than that of Elrios. Eventually, Elrios will pay the price for his arrogance. ”

No matter how long it takes.

As long as I wait for the torch to pass on.

Someday, revenge on Elrios will be completed.

But how long will that be?

Ten years, twenty years, or ...... A hundred years?

"Elrios made the Okad League kneel at his feet in disgrace. But it must be me Okad who will destroy Elrios. ”

Even if I can't see that day.

Even if there are people living in the world now, none of them can see that day.

But that day will come.

The legendary spell "Chains of Loyalty" is activated.

……

Nicholas?? Speaker Okad closed his eyes.

He had never tried to fully invoke the legendary spells left by his ancestors. This spell will allow him to track down all the people who made a covenant with the Ancestors...... their heirs. If they had abandoned their duties in the long course of history, or had been utterly impossible to be loyal to him, he would not have been able to sense their presence.

It has been more than 900 years since the day of the covenant. This is far beyond the expectations of our ancestors.

Except for the very few people who contacted them in advance, will there be other contracts that will be passed on? Will anyone else, in response to the call of Okad's descendants, wield a blade of destruction at Elrios?

Even if only one person has persevered until now. Let me take a look.

[Take Nicholas?? In the name of Okade, respond to my request...... Ocard's blades. 】

A unique Legendary Spell activation. Nicholas's powerful spiritual power suddenly covered the entire cloud world.

Then, he looked surprised.

Very few in the Five-Nation Alliance. Part of it in the Empire. Most in Errios. There were more than fifty points of light in total, and in Nicholas's world of consciousness, bright sparks flickered.

……

In the Elrios army on the border. A general looked up at the sky.

……

One of the twenty-eight towers of the blue ocean in the pure white city. A young female mage, her eyes suddenly shining with a strange light.

……

In the imperial palace of the imperial capital. A middle-aged man suddenly showed a playful look.

……

Nicholas smiled.

[The time for revenge has come. It's time for a funeral for Elrios. 】

He opened his eyes. In front of him are Okad's generals, as well as Mr. King, the prison master, and a black-robed man with a goatee, the supreme leader of the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds".

That is, the legendary spellcasters who follow him, or who are allied with him.

"Let's get started."

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

The city of pure white.

Traynor and Luke run down the hallway.

"Damn." Treno scolded in a rare way.

Luke's lockbox is finally unlocked. But there is a military situation hidden among them, which is not urgent, but must be reported immediately.

"Legendary Legacy of Loyalty......," Luke muttered, "the killer move left by the original Ocad." ”

"This spell doesn't just allow Okad's head of the house to contact his spies," Traynor said, "As long as the 'inheritance' is carried out, the memories of the previous inheritors will have an effect on the heirs." Unless the lineage is severed, there is a high probability that the inheritor will be loyal from generation to generation......"

"For more than 900 years, it would be good that there are ten inheritances that have persisted until now." Luke reassured.

"That's scary, too. Maybe in this pure white city, there are Okad's people. ”

"Indeed......" Luke scratched his bird's nest-like hair.

"Principals, they're still in a meeting," Traynaud said anxiously, "and I can't reach out to them." Luckily, we still have time. ”

Rumble!

On the distant horizon, an earth-shattering loud bang sounded.

The earth trembled slightly. Then, the tremor grew stronger.

"What's wrong?" Luke held his hand against the wall.

"Earthquake?" Treyno was stunned, "No...... There will be no earthquakes in the pure white city—"

"Look at that!" A clerk shouted pointing out the window, his voice twisted from extreme panic.

Luke and Traynor also looked out the window. Their faces changed instantly.

"This ...... No way! ”
