Time has passed, and it has been twenty years in the blink of an eye.

In the past twenty years, Baal's footsteps have spread almost all over the Phantom Continent. From the southernmost Dark Seas to the Devil's Gate in the Arctic Cold, he has competed with the Giants and befriended the Dwarves and Elves. Even on his journey to the Bitter Cold, he befriended a legendary Ice Dragon!

Successfully challenge the 75 mazes.

Defeat the Three Giant Kings.

......

The mythical deeds of the Demon Apostle - Bill are widely sung by all the bards on the continent!

Just over five years ago, Baal used the endless wealth and otherworldly items obtained from the labyrinth to quickly pull together a team of giants, dwarves, elves, humans, and other races. It took less than half a year to capture the Dragon Shield Kingdom located in the snowy ice field and establish the Leicester Empire named after him.

More than four years have passed since then.

The Leicester Empire soon rose to prominence with its advanced metal smelting and forging technology and powerful military power. Successively defeated the surrounding six countries, including Green Deer and Mamule, and ruled the entire snowy ice field, becoming an emerging military power on the continent.

......

In the middle of the snowy ice field, the city of ice and snow.

This city, which originally belonged to the Dragon Shield Kingdom, has now become the capital of the Leicester Empire.

Over the past few years, the Ice City has become more and more prosperous, and its scale has increased by dozens of times that of before. On the huge city wall tens of meters high around the city, a powerful guardian magic array is arranged, which not only makes the city wall itself extremely strong, but also makes the four seasons in the city like spring.

Surrounded by snow and ice, the city is full of flowers and trees.

And because of this.

The City of Ice and Snow is now also known as the City of Miracles!

As soon as the day dawned, the Green Avenue in front of the palace in the north of the city was already busy. Vendors from all over the country set up roadside stalls selling vegetables, fruits and handicrafts brought in from the south. On the wide streets, you can see elves and dwarves, and occasionally giants seven or eight meters tall walk by.

"Have you heard, the Empire intends to attack the kingdom of Kulm to the south?"

"It seems that the rumors are correct, His Majesty seems to really want to unify the continent."

"Well, Your Majesty has conquered the seven countries of the Snowy Region one after another in the past few years, and I heard that the seven or eight countries in the south have formed a military alliance, and this battle is not easy to fight." A few young nobles on the side of the road were talking while walking, after the establishment of the Leicester Empire, in order to stabilize his rule, Baal used iron-blooded means to almost eradicate all the old aristocratic forces that were originally entrenched in various countries, which also gave many young people a chance to get ahead.

Whew~, whew~

The sound of a howling wind came from afar.

In the eastern sky, a small blue dot was rapidly approaching the palace. When I got closer, I realized that this was actually an ice-blue dragon with a length of more than 30 meters, fangs, claws and huge bat wings!

The dragon skimmed over the streets and soon flew into the palace.

The pedestrians on the street also looked up and talked a lot, but there was not the slightest look of panic on their faces, and they were obviously accustomed to this situation.

"Why did this damn dragon come back again, do you want to steal gold coins again?" At the gate of the palace, Illya, who was already the Minister of Finance of the Empire at this time, looked up at the dragon in the air with an unkind face. Behind her, she was followed by six female guards with large shoulders and round waists.

Although twenty years have passed.

But the years have left little mark on Illya's face.

She even looked younger and prettier than she did twenty years ago. This is also thanks to the Dark Forge and the Vitality Earrings of the Goddess of Life, the transcendent equipment that Baal bestowed upon Illya.

"No, we need to go over and have a look. Otherwise, with His Majesty's generous personality, perhaps the dragon would have been allowed to take the gold coins. Illya looked at the ice dragon that had flown into the palace hall, and hurriedly led people over.

.......

The entrance to the main hall of the Royal Palace.

Bang!

The ice dragon folded its wings and landed, and then ignored the somewhat flustered guards at the entrance of the hall, Shi Shiran walked into the hall, and a crisp and excited female voice came out of the mouth of the ice dragon: "Bill, Bill, are you there?" ”

"Miss Ruby, you wait first, Your Majesty, he is not here now."

At the entrance of the hall, a strong black man in armor and a beard on his face hurriedly ran in and stopped in front of the ice dragon. Looking at the shattered ground under the dragon's feet, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, fortunately the dragon didn't run around in the hall.

"Not here? So where did he go? Ruby looked down at the black man.

"It's not dawn yet, Your Majesty should still be sleeping." Black and strong Han Dao.

"Oh, then I'll go find him myself." Ruby's eyes rolled, as if she had thought of something, and even turned to leave. But as soon as he turned around, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Ruby, you're here."

Suddenly, the space fluctuated slightly, and a figure appeared behind Ruby, it was Baal. Compared with twenty years ago, he has not changed much, he is still dressed in black, but he is more mature, and he looks like an ordinary young man.

"Bill!" Ruby turned, a look of joy in her eyes.

"I remember two months ago, didn't you say that you were going back to sleep in the ice cave at Jianjiao Peak, why did you come back so soon?" Baal was a little puzzled, the dragons in this world are far less powerful than the Rand world, and at most they are equivalent to the leader unit of the Rand world.

Of course.

Compared to the ordinary people in the fantasy world, this is already overwhelmingly powerful.

In the Fantasy World, dragons like Ruby have a dormant period every once in a while. They need to dormant to regain their depleted mana, and if they don't, their strength will gradually weaken or even die.

"Originally, I was going to hibernat, but something strange happened at the Demon Gate, so I wanted to come back and ask you to send someone to investigate. And on the way back, I killed a strange creature and got a transcendent item that I was going to exchange for some gold with you. At the mention of the gold coin, Ruby's eyebrows fluttered.

"Transcendental items, shall I take a look?" Balton became intrigued.

"Look, this is it."

A scale under Ruby's neck opened, and a black hedron the size of an egg flew out of it, "This hedron contains a huge amount of dark energy, I think, fifty, no... One million gold coins is a very reasonable price. ”

After speaking, he looked at Baal with burning eyes.

Grabbing the falling spar in his hand, Bal's face moved, and he said, "You're right, there is indeed a huge amount of dark energy in it, but these energies seem to be a little weird. ”

That's when it happened.

Footsteps sounded outside the temple gate, and Illya's angry voice followed: "Ruby, you hateful dragon thief, you stole those gold coins from the warehouse last time, right?" Now I dare to come back! ”

Followed by.

And Illya led them into the temple.

"Hmph, stupid female creature, you are insulting a noble and great dragon, I ask you to apologize immediately!" Ruby raised her head and stared at the diminutive figure below.

Just when one person and one dragon are facing each other.

Ahead.

Barr's eyes were bloodshot red.

In his right hand, black tentacles stretched out from the surface of the hedrons, and a huge and evil dark energy continued to flow into his body. In the blink of an eye, dense black-red scales appeared on his face, and the right hand holding the hedron turned into a beast-like claw, and a powerful and evil aura permeated.

"Your Majesty!" Illya's face changed dramatically.

"Bill, what's wrong with you?!" Ruby turned her head to see that her face was also anxious, Baal was her only friend.

As soon as the two spoke, they fell.

Bang!

Barr's right hand was released, and the black hedron in his hand fell to the ground. At the same time, the blood in his eyes began to fade, the scales on his body slowly disappeared, and his breath returned to normal.

"It's such a strange thing, the law information contained in it is extremely huge, several times more than other transcendent items. But these law information are extremely evil and violent, and even with my spiritual power, they are even affected. Barr looked at the black hedron on the ground.

"Your Majesty."

"Bill, are you alright?" Illya and Ruby both looked over.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Barr smiled slightly, then looked up at Ruby and said, "Ruby, where did you find this strange spar?" ”

"It's near the Devil's Gate." Ruby said, "After I killed a strange creature, I found this black hedron inside it. Bill, is this hedron something bad? ”

"Devil's Gate?" Baal's heart moved, he had been to the Extreme Cold Lands, and he had also seen the Demon Gate. The black gate that seemed to be embedded in the void was so strange that even he couldn't parse it.

"You said there was something wrong with the Demon Gate, what's going on?" Ballian asked.

"When I was returning to Jianjiao Peak two months ago, I passed by the extremely cold land, and I stumbled upon the Demon Gate trembling, and the ice and snow on the ground had turned a strange black, and I found that strange creature there." Ruby said, "By the way, that creature is very strong, and if it weren't for the dark forging method you taught me, I might not be its opponent." ”

"Looks like we'll have to go over there." Baldau.

"By the way, Bill, you just promised me the gold—" Ruby looked expectant.

"When did Your Majesty promise you?" Illya said angrily.

"Alright, Illya, this hedron will be useful to me, so give Ruby the gold." Barr smiled, he was nothing more than a passerby to the world. He didn't pay attention to these things outside his body.

In the afternoon.

Baal temporarily handed over the affairs of the empire to his appointed prime minister, the Elf King of the Forest, Eubisis. Together with Ruby, he set off for the Bitter Cold. He had a hunch that these black hedrons were very important to him.
