The Twilight Valley, where the yellow sand meets the abundant water and grass of the Parnia Coast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The two uplifted mountains extend longitudinally and parallelly, blocking both the storms from the Coral Sea in the east and the wild sand from the desert in the west, giving the narrow valley between the two mountains a peculiar climatic environment: the hot desert winds and ocean currents climb along the twin mountain ranges, colliding at high altitudes to form convection, bringing abundant precipitation to the valley, and it is rainy for at least half of the year, with no obvious change of seasons.

The Twilight Valley is more than 2,000 miles deep from south to north, and there are more than 800 magic crystal mines in total, half of which are controlled by the Naraku Order, and the rest are the property of the royal family of Parnia. In fact, there are still a large number of proven magic crystal veins in the middle of the valley, and neither the Parnia nor the Naro Order want to give up the wealth in front of them, and the middle of the valley will inevitably become a Shura field where the forces of the two sides collide fiercely, and there are constant conflicts throughout the year. The valley that was once densely forested is now a wilderness, with bones and rusty swords and shards of armor in the grass, a military fortress of the Parnia on one side, and a dead and undead position on the other.

The headquarters of the Naraku Order was located near the front line, and the negative energy emitted by the hundred-foot-tall black tower formed a cold mist around it, making the tower loom like a mirage. It was only on a rare clear day, when the midday sun shone down on the valley, that the tower could be seen through the thinning fog - like a great dagger plunging into the earth. Seeing this peculiar shape, it is not difficult to understand why this mysterious structure was named "Dagger Tower".

However, few people know that the dagger tower is actually divided into two parts, the lower half of the building, including the base of the tower, is the daily living and sacrificial place of the high priests, and the middle of the tower is a huge platform, on which is the symbol of the strong force of the Naraku Order. This artifact-class battleship, which had just returned from the astral plane not long ago, was moored to the dagger tower at this moment, and the huge hull formed the upper part of the dagger tower.

In the bridge hall of the "Naluo Empty Mother", a slender girl in a black dress is pacing back and forth. Whenever she walked by the hidden door of the conference room, she would stop for a moment, observing the movement in the room through the crack in the door.

There was a magical enchantment in the room, and Tamara couldn't hear what was being said, but by observing the changes in the expressions of the participants, she could guess that there had been no breakthrough in the morning's negotiations.

The three people present at the meeting represent the Order of Nara, Parnia, and the Marquis of Canaan, all stakeholders in the Twilight Valley.

Representing the Naraku Order was a white-haired man in a blood-colored robe, with a slender figure and fair skin, and a delicate face like a girl, who would surely amaze people with his beauty if he changed into women's clothes.

Representatives of Parnia and the Marquis of Canaan did not visit the dagger tower in person, but magically projected their own images into the venue. Parnia's representative was the lord's wife, Theodora Vlad, a half-vampire lady dressed in purple court attire and looking strikingly similar to the feminine man opposite her, representing the Order of Naraku.

At the other end of the triangular seat was a representative of the Marquis of Canaan in a black leather cloak, with a half-frightened face under the lowered hood, a head resembling an octopus, and four slippery and soft purple tentacles extending from its mouth, and the pupils could not be seen in the sunken eye sockets, like two bottomless wells.

Tamara paced pretentiously, and after a long time, she heard the sound of movement in the conference room, and quickly turned to look at the door.

"Uncle Theodosi, the meeting is over?"

"It's over." The beautiful man with white hair and red clothes walked out of the conference room slowly, with a wry smile on the corner of his lips, "I still don't understand, why don't you talk to Theodora and Yitzhak yourself, and you have to let me come forward?" You should know that I don't have the patience to bargain, and even more so that you are the only one qualified to represent the Order of Naraku in the Pope's absence. ”

"Uncle Theodosi, I know you don't like to get involved in this kind of intrigue, but I can't help it, my father is still accumulating strength in the life box to prepare for resurrection, and my qualifications are too shallow, and the negotiation with Lady Theodora and Mr. Izshak does not carry enough weight, and I have lost my momentum before I can speak; So I want you to come forward, so as not to be underestimated by those two big people. Tamara replied with a smile.

"That's all?" Theodosius looked at her suspiciously, "If that's the case, the Skin Planter, the Cancer Mage, or the Soul Eater can all come forward for you, why did you choose me to do this chore?" ”

Tamara knew that she couldn't be fooled, so she stuck out her tongue and pretended to be cute, "Uncle Theodosi, although those three are also high priests in the Order, they each have their own problems, either they have a bad image, or they are crazy, or they have a short temper, only you are handsome and dashing and personable, and you are the most suitable for such an occasion, not to mention that you and the lord's wife of Parnia are brothers and sisters after all, and they know the character and temper of that lady best, which is a favorable condition in the negotiation." ”

"I knew it!" Theodosius glared at her angrily, "You are a lot smarter, but unfortunately you used it in the wrong place, I have no brother-sister relationship with Theodora Vlad for a long time, there is only hatred, she will not give me face, and I will not give in to her." ”

"It's a shame." Tamara shrugged and sighed.

Born in the royal family of Parnia, Saiodosius was originally the first in line to the throne of the previous lord, but he died in the battle against the Naraku Order twenty years ago, and his soul was imprisoned by the black-robed Otro with the "Soul Binding" technique in a blood-soaked underworld gem.

Soon after, news of his death returned to Parnia, where Priest Vijes tried to cast a spell to resurrect him, but failed to do so, and finally had to admit that his soul had been destroyed and could no longer be brought back to the world by divine magic, so the inheritance fell to his sister Theodora, who gave up the throne to her husband Carol.

When news reached the Twilight Valley after Carol's death, Carol succeeded him as Lord of Parnia, and the Black Robe immediately decided to free the soul of Theodosius, who was imprisoned in the gem, and resurrected him with divine magic, sending him back to Parnia to compete for the throne. When Theodosius returned to his homeland after a few years, he was not welcomed as expected, and people seemed to have forgotten about him, and when Theodosius asked to take back the throne that should have belonged to him, he was immediately rejected by most of the half-vampire nobles, and even his sister Theodora publicly stated that her husband Carol had proven to be a wise lord, and that Theodosius should no longer stir up disputes over this matter.

Theodosius sees his sister's attitude as a betrayal, but he has no strong supporters in Parnia, no one to support him in reclaiming the throne, and it seems that people have forgotten that he died to protect the country, and that returning to them a man who has already been considered dead will only cause trouble.

Unable to accept this indifferent reality and believing that he had been treated unjustly, Theodosius angrily left Parnia, joined the Black Robe, and renounced his old beliefs in favor of Naraku, the god of death. With the help of the Black Robe, Theodosius relived the mysterious experience of death and resurrection, and felt the charm of blood magic, and advanced to the "Blood Spirit Master".
