If the memory of this life is not wrong, Finn remembers that the current time is 460 in the Quaternary period, a year before the cataclysm. A year later, the cosmic magic well will erupt with an unprecedented terrifying eruption of magical power, and from then on, the great demon tide will descend on the continent of Ferdia, and the world will be turned upside down.

As a legendary player who was known as the No. 1 Paladin in the whole server in his previous life, it was not too difficult for Finn to spend a year preparing for the upcoming cataclysm.

As things stand, Finn's biggest trouble is his identity - he's a death row inmate!

Two days earlier, in the wilderness on the border of the Farentan Empire, Fein was accidentally involved in a cultist capture incident, and was mistaken for a cultist who was supposed to be captured, and was subsequently arrested on charges of heresy, and was pulled by a group of imperial soldiers in a wagon to a military fortress called Ork early the next morning to be executed.

In short, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was later condemned to death as a cultist.

"Hey, boy, what crime have you committed?"

Suddenly, Finn heard another man in the carriage call out to him, and he turned to look at the man.

Excluding the soldiers in the front row of the carriage, there were four people in the carriage carrying the prisoners—a middle-aged man with a beard, an old man with a dark complexion, a dark-haired girl, and Finn himself.

It was the middle-aged man with a beard who spoke to Finn.

"I ......" Seeing that the other party was staring at him, Finn didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Glens, you idiot, you're scaring him."

Just as he was thinking about how to respond to the middle-aged man's words, the dark-skinned old man on the side suddenly scolded the middle-aged man.

"Excuse me, young man. Let me briefly explain that we are all death row inmates who are about to be dragged to the execution ground, and you were still unconscious when you were loaded into this carriage, so you may not know what is going on. Stopping the bearded man who was staring at Finn, the old man turned to look at Finn and said, "Now, we want to know about you, can you please tell us your name and charges?" ”

"I ...... My name is Fein, and I'm accused of heresy. Finn replied to the old man, "Of course, I have been wronged, and I am not a heretic at all. ”

"Oh, that's unfortunate." The bearded man on the side expressed sympathy.

"What about you?"

"Me? My name is Glens and I'm a thief and I've been caught stealing. The bearded man named Glens shrugged.

"Stealing?" Finn was stunned when he heard this, "You were sentenced to death for this?" ”

"yes, that's all there is to it." Glens smiled wryly, "If I had to say it, I think I might have stolen something I shouldn't have stolen, broken a taboo that I didn't know about." ”

"What about you, old man?" Finn looked at the old man.

"Don't call me sir. My name is Foto, just call me by name. The old man named Foto waved his hand and said, "Also, I am a warrior of Lord Magdaru, and I am accused of being a rebel. ”

"Rebels?"

"Why, you don't know?"

"Oh no, I know, I didn't react just now." Fein quickly explained.

Rebels, if the term "rebels" appeared in the territory of the Faentan Empire in the year 460 of the Quaternary Age, then the so-called rebels undoubtedly refer to Magdaru and his men.

Grand Duke Magdaru, the duke lord of the Grey Fir Empire, was considered a rebel by the Faentan Empire because he declared that the Grey Fir Principality would no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Faentan Empire on the grounds of improper royal blood.

As a soldier of the rebel leader, it is natural that the old Foto was captured and sentenced to death.

"What about her?" Having learned the story of Glens and Old Ferto, Finn looked sideways at the fourth man in the carriage - the dark-haired girl who was curled up alone and silent with her head buried in her head.

"You'd better not get involved with her." Old Foto suddenly lowered his voice and said, "She's a witch. ”

"Witch?"

"It's the witch that the temple often mentions." Glens took over and said, "The kind that deserves to be burned at the stake." ”

As soon as Glens's words fell, the black-haired girl seemed to sense that someone was watching her, so she raised her head slightly, and then turned her head sideways, and a pair of empty jet-black pupils just met Finn's gaze.

The girl's eyes were like an abyss, and Finn was stared at as if he had met something terrifying.

……

Time flies by on the road.

At dusk, the line between heaven and mountain was dyed orange by the setting sun, and Finn and his party finally arrived at the military fortress called Ork before nightfall, and passed through the gates of the military fortress to a clearing in the stronghold.

"Oh, damn it, you must have made a mistake!" The moment the carriage stopped, Glens turned his head and saw an executioner with a giant axe, and immediately exclaimed in fright, "I just stole the book, you must have made a mistake!" My crime should not be a capital offense! ”

"Shut up, the empire will not wronged any of its people, you deserve it!" An officer-like man stood by the carriage and scolded Glens, while ordering the soldiers to escort Finn and the others out of the carriage one by one.

"Damn, they don't listen to me at all." Escorted from the carriage by the shoulders of two soldiers, Glens hung his head in frustration and whispered to Finn and Old Foto beside him.

"Hehe, you expect this group of imperial dogs to understand human speech? Don't be silly. Old Foto sneered.

"But I just stole a book." Glens was still not reconciled.

"Forget it, Glens." Finn shook his head and lowered his voice to comfort Glens, "Calm down, maybe a monster will attack here in a while, and then we can take advantage of the chaos to escape." ”

"Haha, that's exactly what I said." After listening to Finn's joking reassurance, Glens finally regained a little calm, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

However, in the next second, he suddenly couldn't laugh.

"What's wrong, Glens?"

"Finn, is this what you're talking about?"

"Huh?"

Glens looked at the sky with a blank expression, and Finn followed his line of sight, then saw a black shadow flying in the distance.

The shadow approached, growing in size until it took on the appearance of a dragon.

"Lying ...... Trough. Finn looked at the dragon shadow coming from afar, and suddenly remembered a rumor from his past life.

In the previous life, when Finn was a player, he opened a post on the forum.

He remembered that a man who had been drinking too much had posted on the forums that the copy was a military fortress built on the border of the Faentan Empire, and that it had been destroyed by a dragon attack before the cataclysm.

In that catastrophe, all the soldiers in the fortress were killed by the dragons, and after the Great Tide descended, a powerful necromancer arrived, and the ruins of the military fortress were transformed into a team of undead creatures wandering around.

Unexpectedly, this rumor turned out to be true!

As Finn and Glens saw the dragon, the rest of the fortress soon noticed the uninvited guest.

The black dragon flapped its wings and flew through the air over a four-meter-high stone wall before landing on the roof of a watchtower.

After that, the dragon prostrate on the tower erupted into an earth-shattering roar, and a spout of flames fell from the sky.

The scene spiraled out of control in an instant.

"Dragon!"

"We've been attacked by dragons!"

"Defense!"

"Quick, get everyone organized!"

Under the urgent command of the officers, the soldiers in the fortress took out their longbows and arrows to counterattack, and at the same time shouted and shouted gibberish words and ran back and forth to dodge, and for a while they had no time to pay attention to the four prisoners who were still in the fortress at this time.

After recovering from the deafening roar of the dragon, Finn gritted his teeth and looked around, and found that the entire military fortress had been turned upside down by the dragon hovering over the fortress, and Glens and Old Ferto had long since lost sight of where they had gone.

For a split second, a tremendous sense of realism knocked Finn into a daze, and Finn's brain almost crashed.

Then, he controlled his balance and stood firm, and suddenly found that the black-haired girl who had been accused of being a witch was still in place.

The two of them looked at each other.

“……”

“……”

Silence of the Mystery.

Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds.

"You, don't you run away?"

After a while, the girl tilted her head and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Run! How can you not run away?! ”

When the girl asked this, Finn immediately reacted.

Then, he quickly glanced around, and immediately picked a direction and ran, the unknown girl following closely behind him......
