The wind was soaked in the smell of gunsmoke, the flames seemed to remain in the sky, and the torn clouds were scattered in the sky like burning cotton wool, and an ominous golden light was revealed behind the clouds, diffusing to the four fields.

Tulaman's silver hair glistened in the sunlight, and he smiled slightly: "They didn't try to hide it at first, but you know that it's a bad thing for wizards, who like to play with words, play tricks, and have fun. ”

"Because it shows that they are far smarter than mortals, but unfortunately no one wants to be fools, so I'm in a particularly bad mood right now."

"Don't worry, you can go to their trouble, William and I will have your back. To be honest, Daurus had a much worse temper than you did, and you were nowhere near as good as your grandfather, Brando. ”

Brando was unmoved. "Lord Tulaman, what role did the Bugas play in the Emperor's Majesty and the Dragon's Sword back then, and what exactly do you plan to do?"

The light brown eyes reflected the silver sails, and the floating fleet was like a fish in the air, shuttling through the airport, and at least the Cruz port officials were not wrong - the port of Rune could not afford this huge fleet, and it is conceivable that the port would not be able to regain its former state long after the war.

But this is a matter that only the locals need to worry about, at least for now, not even the Count of Orcons himself has had the heart to think about it.

Tulaman was silent for a moment.

"You're right," he replied, "and it's a long story." It is true that the wizards played a modest role back then, but we have to start with the great battle in the Alkashi Mountains. ”

Tulaman raised his hand and drew a silver rune, 'Giseet'. The rune means night, and a transparent ripple hangs over the two of them, blocking out the sounds around them. "I won't go into the details of that battle, I'm sure you've heard countless versions, but the story that followed was very different from what was circulating outside, and the warring sides found something in Arka."

"Something to do with the Dark Dragon."

Not surprised that Brando would have guessed this, Tulaman nodded, "In fact, what they found was the battlefield of the final battle. ”

"The battlefield of the last battle? Only the dragon and Quevar (the Silver Elves) were involved in the final battle. It turned out that the battlefield was really in Arka. Brando was finally slightly moved.

"You know about the Last Battlefield?"

"You know, the Four Sages defeated the Dark Dragon in the final battle, and the battlefield is said to hold countless secrets." Brando knew better about the history of the Battle of the Brigade Mage, which came from Elaine's mouth and still seems to be vividly remembered: "The battlefield of the last battle has no record after the Battle of the Sages, as if it had mysteriously disappeared - the only person who knew it. The Silver Elves retreated to the forest. Dragons no longer appear on the earth, and what remains is the wizards, the Buga. ”

He looked up at Tulaman. "The Silver Alliance monitors what happens on the land, and mortals are able to get close to Arka and find the final battlefield, and it's hard to believe that it wasn't at the behest of one party."

The Turaman Shrine looked at Brando with complexity, the four sages defeated the dark dragon, and there were countless secrets behind it, and in order to keep these secrets, the only two silver clans and dragons who participated in the battle back then could not escape from the world.

"How do you know these secrets? Bub? ”

"There are some clues to the legend, and there are speculations. I've had experiences you can't imagine, just as I reappeared as a Knight of the Highlands," replied Brando, half-truthfully, "I know more than the Bugas imagined." ”

"I can see that," Turaman sighed, his wise gaze swept over Brando's side face: Daurus's grandson was very similar to him when he was younger, which made Tulaman seem to see the man appear in front of him again, but unfortunately mortal life was too short after all, he seemed to recall the past in Eruin's youth: "Now it seems that William has the most pertinent evaluation of you, and the eyes of others are still under the shadow of Daurus, but you have already walked out." ”

It's not just himself who comes out, Brando thought to himself, this is more like a coincidence, when Sophie's transcendent soul appears in a whole world mentality, the fusion of the souls of the two people is like an opportunity, allowing them to support each other out of the shadow of the past, long after a dream under the golden tree, he is no longer the young man who can only hesitate in front of the sword that belongs to the past.

"William admires you very much, neither he nor I approve of the council's plan, but I am glad to see it, the old fellow thinks you can do more, and I am not as confident as he is in this, but I have to admit that until I meet you again today, I must say that I have probably looked away and made a bet that I must lose."

"If you don't approve of it, why are you happy to see it happen?"

"Because William thinks that you are extraordinary, that you have experiences that are different from anyone else, that you can do things that adults can't, that there are things that neither I, nor him, nor His Excellency could accomplish, but William thinks you may be able to do it."

"I, how can I do it?" Brando was slightly stunned, and his heart sank, there seemed to be something in this evaluation, what does it mean to be different from anyone's experience, does it mean that the other party has seen something. It sounds a bit ridiculous, but for William. Pister - Standing at the pinnacle of power, in the eyes of the few who can use magic to see the future, it does not seem absolutely impossible.

But what does this have to do with the ancestor Ek?

Brando frowned, vaguely feeling that he had grasped something, but he was still in a misty labyrinth, and could only occasionally peek at the corner of the truth.

"Do you want me to be a proxy and go to war with the Empire?" He suddenly remembered what the Wind Elves had done back then, and that was how the Elven Delilah dynasty had promised the Elder Eke that the Buga had sent a fleet with great fanfare. Do you want to repeat the story of the previous dynasty?

"You're thinking too much, little one."

"Isn't it?"

"You can rest assured that war with the Empire will take place. It is neither good nor necessary for us. ”

"There has to be a reason for that."

"I've already mentioned the reason before."

"So, is it related to the Arka battle?"

Tulaman nodded slowly: "Yes, our topic is a little off, and that battle is the theme. ”

Brando glanced around, and Tulaman's enchantment spell still divided the inside and outside into two worlds, completely isolating the sound. He suddenly felt a little amused by his suspicions, how could the spell of the master of the Mythril Castle fail in advance, and he already had a vague feeling that the next conversation might not be so simple.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Lord Tulaman. ”

"I can only say that you guessed half right."

"Half?"

"Because no one had ever done anything to cover up the battlefield of the last battle, the space in the Arka region was not precarious, and that place disappeared without a trace after the last battle. Fall into the void. Or swallowed by the sea of magic, the entire space was engulfed in the energy of the noise, and after several successive large earthquakes in the Alkash Mountains, the terrain of the entire region has been completely changed, and no one knows where the battlefield is buried. ”

"Gone?"

This answer was also unexpected by Brando.

"Not all, it wasn't an ordinary earthquake, it was a spatial turbulence formed by the destruction of solid laws and order, and the laws of chaos created a strange area in Arka. Common sense does not apply there, in fact, for thousands of years. The battlefield of the final battle appeared under the noses of the world several times, like a ghost, suddenly appearing and disappearing without a trace. On one occasion, it was discovered by an exiled Miner clan, and on another occasion, a descendant of ancient dwarves broke into the area. ”

Tulaman replied slowly, his voice undulating, but the description of things was strange: "There were several flashes after that, but none of them were known to the world, and in order to monitor its tracks, the Bugas built numerous observation points in this fissure zone. ”

"Wait, you're talking about this rift zone? Could there be other crack zones? ”

"Naturally, our world is whole, and once a crack appears in the law of Tiamat, it is bound to produce a chain reaction, in fact this fissure belt points south to a certain area of Anzeruta, where strange things often happen, and gives birth to large black forests, and further south is the ring of trade winds, and to the north is the great glacier, forming a standard arc, this line is too long to be observed even by the ability of the Bujia, and it can only be speculated if the circle has a center, It should be on the great plains of the East, the great plains of the people of gold and silver, who wandered in the thorny wilderness before the age of chaos. In addition to this, there are smaller fissures beyond this main fissure zone, such as the Dead Frost Forest, as you know it. ”

Bran was silent for a long time, even counting his experience in the game, it was the first time he had heard such sensational news, and if the respected scholar hadn't lied to him, the information had already revealed something that the legends in the game that only existed in the background were most likely true. And Brando already knew that Tulaman might not be lying, because there was no need for the other party to use such a lie that would obviously be exposed, not to mention that some of his experiences had faintly confirmed some of the content.

Almost immediately, he subconsciously remembered something even more creepy, in the middle of the game, a player had studied the whereabouts of the haunting disgraced people of the Dead Frost Forest, those who had lost their memories, identities, and even themselves - between humans and souls, who were always in long queues, advancing through the forest, luring more ignorant souls to join them, and these disgraced would enter the Sea of Light on some coast north of the Death Frost Forest. The direction in which they are heading always seems to be a huge arc tangent to the northern coastline of Eruin.

Players have racked their brains to study this enigmatic route, but in the end, nothing has been found, and it is only attributed to the bad taste of the game designer.

However, at this moment, a new possibility inexorably appeared in Brando's mind.

Those who have lost their name. It was along the rift in Tulaman's mouth that they were moving forward, but what kind of force, what kind of reason drove them to do such a thing. What is it that makes these people lost?

The thought of those pale-skinned, empty-eyed, and dazed trekkers made Brando shudder. He suddenly remembered the Viscount Tester he had met in Pragus, and it was probably the same people who had taken him, but he didn't understand the situation at all. The opportunity was missed.

It took a while for Brando to force himself to throw these thoughts out of his mind, and he barely digested the news. He looked up at Tulaman, sweat on his forehead.

And that's just the beginning—

"So...... The two sides of the battle in the Alkasha Mountains that year...... Mistakenly on the final battlefield? ”

"It's still halfway through, and we've strayed into the final battle, or rather, it's ghosting us. At that time, he commanded the Flame Sanctuary coalition forces. None other than your grandfather. I, as his deputy, immediately felt the severity of the problem, and our opponents, the wind elves, were also capable people, and we quickly decided on a truce, intending to withdraw from the battlefield under the coordination of the Buga envoys. Tulaman replied slowly, as if recalling the circumstances of that day, and Brando could have imagined an ancient battlefield, silently appearing between the two armies in the mist. What an eerie scene it was.

"What happened next?" He asked, knowing that if it was true that the two sides involved in the war had peacefully exited the battlefield, as Tulaman had said. I'm afraid there weren't as many things as it came after.

"We made a mistake, in fact an oversight."

"Negligence?"

"You said before that mortals were able to get close to Arka and find the final battlefield at the behest of one party, and I said you guessed half right. And the other half is, it is, but it's not the Bugas who are secretly making the move-"

“…… It's a dragon. ”

"Dragons?" Brando was taken aback.

Tulaman raised his head and glanced at the sky silently: "Like the Miner people, the dragon has golden blood flowing in its body, and in the battle of the Sages, not all dragons are on the side of the four sages, you should know about it." ”

Brando knows this, dragons are still divided into good and evil, the source is the rupture from the era of the Sage's War, but no one knows why, why dragons fight side by side with mortals, just as few people can understand the sacred covenant between the Bugats, Quival and mortals, why would the generation of silver and gold abandon their era and fight for the mortal era?

It's really because of a promise from the Azure Knight, for that prophesied mortal era.

Not necessarily, I'm afraid

"One of the dragons is Odin, a staunch ally of the dark dragon."

"You mean the Seven Extremes Dragon King, the evil dragon Futhea."

"It is precisely after the end of the War of the Sages, as the fate of the loser, that Futhea Kath was sealed under the Great Glacier by the joint efforts of Wynloth and Theoskraz."

Brando knows the latter two famous names, the former is the previous generation of dragon kings, known as the almost god-like Wwenloth, the overlord of the sky, and the latter is the famous heroic dragon, who later played an important role in helping humanity defend against the invasion of twilight in the wolf plague. But he didn't speak, but continued to listen to Tulaman: "However, the fall of Fusia did not eradicate the dragon's ambitions, and in fact there are still some dragons who are obsessed with the previous era to operate in the human world secretly, and because of my negligence, the three are named Obsdean, Atakasha, and ...... Gwendoline's dragons have infiltrated the coalition and have been lurking for years with the Empire's previous emperors, accompanying her as royal knights in the Holy War...... You already know who they are. ”

"Her Royal Highness the Princess...... It's ......"

Brando only felt that his mind was buzzing, and several important clues were like lightning in the night, drawing bright electric lights in his thoughts, and in the darkness, the truth seemed to have surfaced.

"You guessed it right, her name is Constance, the flower of the princess, the pearl of the emperor's majesty."

…… (To be continued......)
