After cruising through the city, the carriage finally returned to the gates of the War College.

Anne slowly stepped out of the carriage, and the wedding was about to enter its most important stage.

The lens of the celestial magic reflection crystal screen followed Anne every step of the way.

When she was about to enter the depths of the War College at the end, she seemed to faintly turn her head to look into the distance, and she was ......

Waiting for someone?

"It's almost time to go, right?"

In the tavern, a thin pot of wine has bottomed out.

It seemed that he was still immersed in the huge screen in the sky, and the black-robed man who took the girl's last glance was after a while before he said, "Well, it's time to go, otherwise, it's really too late." ”

At the same time, similar scenes continue to take place in many corners of the city:

On the tall old clock tower, the clown with his face covered in messy oil paint played with the dagger in his hand, and slowly walked downstairs under the complicated and inexplicable eyes of the girl behind him.

In the dark alleyway, terrifying creatures like giant praying mantises exuding a crazy aura were looking at the huge magical reflection crystal screen in the sky, and let out a low roar of pain.

It seems to say, "I don't want ......"

In the complex alleyways of Beicheng District, a rotten door was pushed open with great force and determination by a furry hand.

Behind this hand, a little girl with a double ponytail waved her hand expectantly and said, "Come back early, you must rescue that sister." ”

It was still an unknown tavern, and the man who had been sitting quietly in the corner of the tavern for a long time slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, it was as if the air was filled with the smell of murderous intent.

It's like, a killing machine, has been restarted.

He stood up. Picked up, two strange and murderous long axes.

On the street, in the whole city, in all the key parts of the city defense, in the surging crowd, there are men with faces covered with brawl scars approaching. Their eyes were fanatical, as if they were doing something incomparably holy.

Outside the city, on the plains near the vast and imposing walls of the War College, countless dark shadows loomed.

Farther away, in the war canal that connected to the moat, on the perennially calm water, there was a deep undercurrent flowing at this time.

At last. Again, the window that opened only one gap.

Behind the window, Lucian looked at the huge screen in the sky again, silent.

"You can go, you're free." The man from before reappeared, and he said to Lucian, "You've paid off what you owe me, and the rest is ours." ”

"You say......" Lucian didn't move. He hesitated and asked. "Will Hammerstone come?"

"I don't know."

"What if, he comes?"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The camera followed the entire wedding honor guard slowly into the War College, and finally, came to the destination of this wedding.

The center of the entire continent, the heart of the War College, is made entirely of rune white dolomite. Hall of Justice.

The final ceremony of the wedding will take place here, and the giant magic reflection crystals in the sky will be live-streamed.

In front of the tall steps of the Hall of Justice, the witnesses of this wedding, that is, the most powerful people on this continent, have all arrived.

The Triumvirate of the Supreme Council. Representatives of the Seven City-States, as well as Anne's parents, the Mystic Warlock Gregory. Hasta and Amoline, the Shadow Witch, stood on it, as if looking down on the beings.

Except, of course, Anne's parents.

Anne slowly descended to the bottom of the huge staircase and looked up at her parents.

They were watching her, too.

Until this moment, a trace of irrepressible sadness finally surged up on her little face without joy or sorrow.

This sadness even directly infected the entire camera, making the people of the whole city feel this, despair.

Even if the two hosts sensed that something was wrong and tried to change the topic, they couldn't weaken it in the slightest.

It wasn't until the whole camera announced that because he was about to enter the Hall of Justice and wanted to avoid something, he temporarily shut down for a few minutes that he finally eased up a bit.

But the last shot is fixed on Anne's little face looking at the sky.

People can't forget it.

She seems, looking at someone.

Komori, you will come and save me, right?

"Grandma's, I'm really angry." In the crowd, this time, the little man with only a pair of pale blue eyes wrapped around his body finally spoke everyone's heart.

After seeing the scene just now, everyone sensed that something was wrong.

Some of the people who were already dissatisfied with Anne's marriage to Jericho suddenly cursed in a low voice.

"Alright, it's almost time, let's get ready to do it." This time, the figure who looked lonely even when standing in the noisy crowd no longer hit the little man, and he said what the little man liked to hear the most.

"Okay!" The little man was so excited that he almost somersaulted, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people, his behavior like this was really suspicious.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When the whole city is cheering crazy for this peerless wedding, the undercurrent is surging.

There seems to be an undercurrent that has nothing to do with this marriage, a real undercurrent, that is flowing under the city.

"So, Ashram, rejected us?" The voice that had been in the sky all along, this time, went underground.

"Well, he said, he still has one more promise that has not been fulfilled, however, he told me that ......" The other voice, which had never appeared anywhere, but should only appear in the darkest rooms, said slowly, "Today, the War College will be a mess." ”

"Isn't that to be expected?" The even more inhuman voice that had once appeared in the sky also sounded, "Bronnard, we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

"Now is not the time to catch up." The man known as Bronn Lannid continued slowly, "When the people from Dismason come, we'll do it." ”

"Dismason ......," the more inhuman voice said disdainfully, "this traitor...... I'm ......."

"Oh, I said newcomer, for the old-timers, are you like this, in the dark, saying bad things about others?" At this moment, a voice that seemed a little frivolous, but full of deceit, interrupted him, "What's your name?" Cassadine, or Malzaha? ”

Immediately after, a figure exuding a dark green aura slowly walked out.

And if Lucian was here, he would have screamed.

Because this man is the hammerstone that carries an old lantern everywhere to collect other people's souls.

But he used it, someone else's voice that he could never have heard. (To be continued......)
