Every time the shadow of the dragon swept over the hills and the earth, many descendants of the dragon's blood would be born on the earth, and the astrologers claimed that the next generation born under the shadow of the dragon would have magical powers, and this is the origin of the year of the dragon's shadow.

A thousand years later, the turquoise waters still wash the shores of the White City as they did a thousand years ago, and the sapphire-like sea foam floats on the sea, leaving undulating wet marks on the causeway of Antisque; The highest wave had reached the bottom of the leviathan, carved into the middle of the Long Causeway, where an iron ring marked the highest water level in the history of the White City, now rusted and weather-beaten.

Built in the days when Tarynk, Lord of the White City, forged his sword as a plowshare, and connected to the stone trestle that stretched out into the blue bay in the distance, where hundreds of ships of all shapes were moored, and the galleons of the Elven Court were in a league of their own—a long column of sails, bows bent like a saber—and this fleet had crossed the ocean from Elranta to this place in five groups.

On that day, the citizens of White City saw the heavily armed elven army disembark from these ships and head east, one after another, never to be seen since.

After a little more than a month and a half, Rand stood on the edge of the causeway once again and looked at the yellowed sail tops—the elves never returned, leaving only an empty fleet adrift in the bay like ghosts—not uncoveted by them, but all who dared to reach out were sternly warned by the Templar.

The smell of sea water soaks the cheeks with a damp scent.

His mind was full of doubts, why did the elves of Elranta come and where were they going?

The empty fleet adrift on the sea seemed to be silently speaking, and the whispers lingered like ghosts on the bay, making people feel chilled.

Rand suddenly felt the wind rise on the sea. A little chill on the forehead.

He pressed his forehead, and was slightly stunned in his heart, how could the wind blow from the sea at this time?

But the sea breeze immediately became frenzied, and the surface of the sea was dark and dreary, with waves of white lines rising on it. Strong winds blow across the bay. The flags on the top of the sailboats were hunting, the trees on the banks of the causeway were rattling, and his head was bowed, and Rand felt his hair flying, and quickly pressed his hat, and the wind immediately lifted the corners of his clothes, and he saw the sailboats in the distant harbor begin to shake one by one.

What's going on?

A few workers were shouting in the direction of the port, and their voices came from afar in the wind, as if they were complaining about the ghost weather. It is said that there is going to be a storm at sea. But his instinct as a sailor told him that this was by no means a prelude to a storm, not to mention that the rainy season had passed, and where did the storm come from above the still sea near autumn?

He raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly saw a few black dots appear on the skyline with different light and darkness.

The graceful creatures with flapping wings, they were huge and beautiful, as if every muscle on their huge bodies had a rhythm. The perfection and perfection of life are vividly displayed in them; When they spread their wings, it seems to cover the sky. The wind passes under their powerful wing membranes, whipping up waves on the surface of the sea and piercing through the clouds.

Once again, a great shadow swept over the earth, just as it had been in the past when it had dominated a qiē.

On this day, the dragons flew over Baicheng again.

……

Water droplets converge on the intertwined gray-white boulders, with a line of fluorescence at the edges. The interior reflects the magnificence of the interior of the temple; Dingdong, it dripped down from the dome and fell into the dark pool of sacred stones, rippling in circles on the surface of the water.

"Sage, the winner is already clear."

Asebantu XI was in darkness. He said in a low voice.

In the distance, several holy candles emitted a faint light, outlining his milky white satin robe, which hung down to the stone slabs on the ground, and the bottom seemed to be dyed with a dull layer of blue.

Ellanta's tower-like figure stood for a long time, her emerald eyes radiating a dull brilliance in the darkness, and her gaze passed beyond the terrace on the side of the Great Stone Sanctuary, where the mountains and the twilight of the forest under the sunset, the last rays of golden light were engulfed by heavy clouds, and the stars fell from the red and purple canopy, with a tragic color peculiar to this moment.

The light will not be below the horizon, and then it will be a long night.

After a while, she slowly spoke, "What do you see, Your Excellency Assebantu?" ”

"This is news from my students: the Silver Queen has joined forces with the undead of Madara, and on the seventeenth dawn an army of the undead set out from the Argen region, and on the twenty-first they were witnessed marching near Auvehin, and if I guessed correctly, the spirits of Madala have now arrived on the battlefield—"

"In the Evergreen Corridor, the armies of Goldmane Toquinine and Jogandigang are marching north day and night, and once they pass through the Gate of Arobagand, the strength of the Eastern Mez Cruz will reach more than half a hundred thousand."

Artebantu XI took out a piece of parchment from under the sleeve of his long robe, read it carefully, and handed it over.

But Elranta didn't pick it up.

"Have you heard of the Battle of Ekatos, Lord Asaibantu?" She asked, looking back at the latter.

Ding Dong――

Another drop of water fell into the pool.

Asabantu XI raised his head in bewilderment, and the light and shade of candlelight deepened the wrinkles on his face, one by one, as if a knife had carved an axe:

"Is there still a variable, Sage?"

"But...... Even if the eldest son of the emperor can deal with the White Army,...... In the face of the army of Qiaogendigang, they also found it difficult to continue...... Unless......" He replied with some hesitation, "unless you intervene, Lord Sage." ”

"I will not interfere, Your Excellency Assebantu, I have already made it clear."

"In that case...... I'm afraid it's hard for them to ......" Asabantu XI frowned deeply and shook his head repeatedly: "Lord Sage,...... Not everyone is the Lord of Fire, a miracle like the Battle of Ekatos,...... It is precisely because it is impossible to accomplish that it can be called a miracle. ”

"But miracles are hard to reproduce—"

Elranta didn't contradict him.

The last ray of golden light had sunk below the horizon, a deep twilight, with boundless loneliness. The wind blew in the night. The clouds moved slowly south along the ridgeline in the sky, and the moonlight soon poured down, giving the Calendula Mountains a silvery white color.

"I feel a throbbing that Ordphis, the Blade of Fire, has been reborn into this world, and has chosen its Promised One—"

Asabantu XI was shocked, and he looked up impressively: "Lord Sage." This......? ”

"Every era has heroes," Elranta replied softly, "and the era is called an era precisely because it replaces the past, and if you simply repeat the past, you will not get an answer." ”

"The Bugas are paying off their debts, and in the midst of the jihad, they really shouldn't have intervened, and now they have to repay the favor that someone took on for them sixty years ago." She looked back. A rare smile appeared on his resolute countenance: "The wind is blowing, Your Excellency Assebantu, do you feel it?" ”

Outside the Rock Sanctuary, the wind was getting stronger, the trees made a frantic noise, and countless blades were rolled up and flew into the sky, forming a torrent. Flying all over the sky.

Some of the leaves were even rolled up onto the terrace and scattered all over the church. Several monks hurried to run and close the door.

But it was at this time that the door behind the sanctuary was pushed open with a thud.

"Dragon—"

"Teacher, Sage-sage, it's the dragons!"

……

"Duroma, Anlek, Karasu, many places have reported the sighting of dragons."

"The dragons are acting unusually. Is something out of the ordinary? ”

"One more thing, Your Highness Princess, we need an explanation-"

Princess Griffiin finally looked up from the pile of papers, her brow furrowed slightly, and her silver eyes were gentle and resolute with an imperceptible look of worry. Looking at the nobleman standing in front of him, the people of the Noning family, and behind him stood the Grand Duke Goran-Elson, and maybe someone else?

She opened her mouth lightly and asked, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you just said, please say it again?" ”

The princess's voice was not high.

But it made the perilla hall of Fort Onevido fall silent for a while, and the nobles, large and small, seemed to realize something, and stopped talking tacitly, and looked in this direction, some people looked suspicious, some people looked like a good show, and all kinds of faces with different expressions were intertwined with each other, and the light was strange, like a grotesque picture.

The nobleman did not care about Griffiin's identity at all, and walked out of the crowd with pride, triumphantly took out a letter from his bosom, and placed it in front of Griffiin.

"Your Highness," he replied with the letter on his finger, "this is the report of the fronts of Buchi, Castella Gold, and the Karassen Plateau in recent days, and it is evident that the spirits of the Empire and the undead of Madara are hoarding armies on the border, ready to move. ”

Princess Griffiin looked the other man in the eye, and out of the corner of the other's eye, she saw many people, including the envoys of the Grand Duke Goran Elson, the nobles of the north, her grandfather, the Grand Duke Vieiro, and even members of the royal party, and she saw Macaro and others in the crowd. The men were the first to avoid her gaze, but soon greeted them calmly—

She clenched her fist secretly.

"There's also a report here, Your Highness Princess," the nobleman replied unhurriedly, "and it says that the Cruz have united with Madara, and that Madala has sent tens of thousands of undead to fight in the East Mez region, and that the legions of Jorgandegon and Goldmane Toquinine, loyal to the Silver Queen, have also passed through the Gate of Arobion, and the fall of the eldest son of the Cruz is imminent—"

"I know the report," said Princess Griffine, whose face darkened, "what kind of explanation do you want to hear?" ”

"Your Highness Princess," said the envoy of the Grand Duke Goran-Elson, "Eruin is a small country, and it is impossible for him to survive under the attack of Madara and the Empire, and a small country should have a way of survival. In recent days, the Earl you have supported you has stirred up trouble in the Empire, defying all persuasions, and now that your bold and bold plans are about to fail, should you give us an account? ”

Princess Griffiin was silent, since the start of the war in Fatan Harbor, the warring two sides have used magic to block all magic transmissions in the area, and in the past half a month, there has been no news from the battlefield.

She turned her gaze to Antitina, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, who didn't speak, only nodded slightly at her.

For some reason, my heart warmed slightly.

Settle down. She glanced coldly at everyone present and spoke, "The Earl's actions are just and reasonable, for Eruin must protect its people, and for that reason it will not bow down to any bandit force, whether it is an empire or an undead!" Count Tonigal defeated the Empire once, and I'm sure he will stop the Empire this time as well. I would like to tell you a fact-"

"That's what Maesta Martha once taught us that righteousness must prevail."

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping.

It was almost a rivalry, and the air was so tense that you could almost see it.

The envoy sneered.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you can't win a battle with your mouth, the empire is united with Madara, the undead have tens of thousands of troops in the Argen region, plus the powerful White Legion, please tell me, how will the empire fail? Take 10,000 steps back. Even if it was a fluke, our Lord Count Toniger won the battle with the blessing of Lord Martha, but what was he going to do with Toquinen's lionmen and the army of Jogandigan? ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile very lightly: "Of course, maybe our Lord Earl will kill the enemy with his mind and brag about destroying hundreds of thousands of troops?" After all, Martha-sama said that justice doesn't fail—"

There was a low chuckle from the crowd.

Duke Vieiro sighed. He also shook his head and said, "Griffith, stubbornness is not the quality that a good superior should have. Although you are not the king of Eruin, you represent the face of the royal family, and what you said before was too naïve. ”

Princess Griffi's face was cold and she turned her gaze to Macaro.

Makaro frowned and said, "...... Your Royal Highness, don't be too pretentious. ”

Princess Griffiin had a look of disappointment on her face, and said disdainfully, "That's it. You've been waiting for this moment for a long time. ”

"Your Royal Highness, you should say that we have given you and your Earl enough opportunities, but you have to disappoint us too much."

"What a disappointment—"

With a click, the main entrance to the Shiso Hall of Fort Onevido was pushed open, and it was Buned, Grand Master of the Highland Knights, who entered. He was followed by seven or eight young Highland knights. Bunid looked around with a sneer: "The most disappointing thing is that it is not the once glorious royal party that saved Eruin, but a nameless junior, some people are jealous and crazy behind their backs, but they are afraid that they will be swallowed up by the fire of jealousy." ”

Almost everyone in the royal party present in the hall, including Macaro, changed their faces, only Overwell was still as usual, only frowning slightly, after all, being ridiculed by such a name, anyone could not help it.

"Bunyd, are you crazy!" Immediately, some young people from the royal party couldn't help but want to step forward, but they were immediately pulled back by others.

What are you kidding, this is the king of the highland knights who is known as the 'resting one', one of the top powerhouses of the few civilized elements in Eruin, and ordinary people don't bring shame on themselves when they go up?

Bneid didn't even look at these clowns, but went straight to Princess Griffiin, knelt down on one knee and gave a solemn knightly salute, and said, "Your Highness Princess, I have good news for you. ”

Princess Griffiin was slightly stunned.

The head of the knight had already taken out a scroll of official documents from his bosom, handed it over with both hands, and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Mehotofen has won a great victory, in the middle of last month, Count Tonigel defeated the White Army in the Battle of Port Fatan, completely annihilated the army of the undead of Madara, and then set up an ambush to defeat the combined forces of Goldmane Toquinine and Qiaogandigang, as of the 7th of this month, the entire territory of East Mez has been recovered and incorporated into the control of the eldest son of the Emperor. ”

There was a deathly silence in the hall.

"It can't be!" The envoy of the Grand Duke Goran-Elson rebuked loudly: "This is a lie about the military situation!" ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Princess Griffiin frowned, even she couldn't believe it, three battles and a knick, could it be that the armies of the Empire, Madara, Tokunen, and Jogandigan were made of wood? Although she has no doubt that Brando can create a miracle, there are only so many people in Port Fatan, and it is remarkable that she can maintain the stalemate.

Bunid smiled slightly, turned around and explained to everyone: "After defeating the White Legion, Count Tonigel persuaded the Commander of the White Legion, Duke Ambunar, to surrender, and with this information advantage, he blocked the news. At this time, the combined forces of Goldmane Torquinine and Jogandegang had no idea, and they passed through the Evergreen Walkway as originally planned, only to fall headlong into the ambush circle of Lord Earl, Count Tonigel almost wiped out the army of Lion Man and Jogendigan in Arrobigon Canyon with the help of terrain advantages, and completed the battle in one battle. ”

"What about the Dragon Queen? How could he possibly deal with a three-headed dragon? The envoy screamed.

But Bunid didn't bother to look at him at all, and he turned back and nodded to Princess Griffine.

Princess Griffiin was stunned, a complicated look flashed in her gentle silver eyes, and she hesitated for a moment before gently picking up the paperwork.

Outside the palace, it was just after noon, and among the floating lights, there was a dragon shadow floating and sweeping.
