Gawain was not a hot-blooded young man, nor did he take the impending war with naïve and naïve thoughts - so even when he realized the actions of the Death of All Things, he did not have the slightest idea of calling for peace with his blood.

After figuring out the cause and effect of the incident, Gawain realized that although this civil war was expected by the Society of All Things, it was by no means something that a cult group like the Society of All Things would promote—it was an inevitable product of historical trends, just as the war between Ansu and Typhon was bound to break out.

Francis II fell, and it was the high bishop of the Society of the Dead who killed him, and the mastermind was his son, but the old king did not just die at the hands of these two people, his death was the result of the joint game and advancement of several forces.

Edmund needed his death, not only because he needed a reason to start a civil war, but also because the prince wanted to eliminate the biggest "compromiser" in the royal family, and use the king's death to arouse the righteous indignation of the domestic nobility to the greatest extent, so as to gain the authority to raise troops in the shortest possible time;

The Duke of the East needed him to die, because the Duke's allegiance was never to the king, but to Prince Edmund, or a "Moen royal family" who could return to the era of the First Dynasty;

Emperor Typhon also needed him to die, because Typhon needed a civil war in Ansu, and Gawain was almost certain that Typhon would quietly watch Ansu's civil war after that until the ancient kingdom fell apart completely;

The Wild family in the North, the Duchess Victoria Wild, does she also need the king to die? Francis II is the most difficult king to control since the establishment of the Second Dynasty, although this king seems to be stoic and compromised, but under his forbearance is extreme tenacity and cunning, he has spent nearly forty years to break free from the control of the Wild family, does the Wild family also want to change to a more obedient king? For example, Welsh Moen......

Many sharp knives were stuck in Francis II's body, and all things would die, only slightly pushing the sharp knives of this dynasty.

So the second civil war of Ansu was as inevitable as the Ansu-Typhon War, but the difference was that the latter had been postponed, and the former was a foregone conclusion at the moment of the fall of Francis II.

The blood shed by the king must be paid for with the blood of the whole kingdom, and anyone's appeal, appeal, campaign, and revelation of the truth are pale and powerless, even if Gawain, the "old ancestor", speaks, it is impossible for anyone to listen at this time, in fact, even if some people listen, they will deliberately pretend not to hear.

In the Shadow Laboratory, the personnel who remained here are still putting some finishing touches.

Tyr put away his sea demon form and summoned a large water ball to begin cleaning up the disgusting wreckage left behind by Clement's death, while Thorderling and his Iron Rangers began to set up lights throughout the Shadow Proving Ground - these warriors experienced the mental impact of Tyr's sea demon form, and almost everyone passed more than three san checks, at this time they were all full of energy and high morale, and even their work efficiency was more than doubled... …

Gao Wen and Amber came to the center of the Shadow Experiment Field, looking at the circular pit on the platform, Gao Wen thought: "In other words, in the corresponding position of the Shadow Realm, there is an unstable rift here, when someone activates the Shadow Seal Ring in the current world, that unstable rift will open a spatial passage in the current world and summon the Shadow Dwellers over?" ”

"That's how I judge," Amber nodded, "but that spatial rift is obviously very unstable, and if the shadow dwellers pass through, it will cause the passage to collapse quickly. ”

“…… The Shadow Seal Ring is a relic of the Ancient Gondor Empire, and this Shadow Experimental Field is also a creation of the Ancient Gondor Empire, there must be a connection between them......" Gawain looked around the huge cavern with a thoughtful look on his face, "Even in the Gondor period, human beings did not study the Shadow Realm very deeply, at most to the extent that they could open a small 'alien space warehouse' in the Shadow Realm and store some important items in it, but scholars have never had a clear conclusion about the nature of the Shadow Realm and the reasons for its formation. ”

"This must be the place where they studied the nature of the Shadow Realm," Amber said, shaking her head, "This pit is a fixed portal built back then, and the Shadow Seal Ring was a tool used by the researchers back then to 'open doors'?" ”

"Perhaps...... But I'm more curious about why these studies are being conducted in the 'Fortress of Disobedience'," Gawain voiced his doubts, "The purpose of this fortress is to find a way out of the demon tide for humanity, is it...... The Gondor scholars of the time thought that one of the ways out was the Shadow Realm? ”

Amber blinked and thought for a moment, and shook her head, "I don't know about this - although I can enter the Shadow Realm, I don't know if the Shadow Realm will be affected by the Demon Tide." ”

"Can you communicate with the Shadow Dwellers?" Gawain asked, looking curiously into Amber's eyes.

Amber spread her hands: "If you think that two people talking to each other in their dreams can be called 'communication', then I can even communicate with them." ”

"I see......," Gawain shook his head with a smile, "but then again, what kind of being are the Shadow Dwellers?" Do they have a society of their own? Are they 'elemental creatures' of the Shadow family? ”

Many shadow researchers are aware of the existence of the Shadow Dwellers, and even Gawain Cecil, who is not a magician, knows some secrets about the Shadow Dwellers because of his knowledge, but as Gawain knows, everyone only knows about the "secrets", the Shadow Dwellers, a special creature with a human form but obviously different from humans, is a mystery to all scholars, due to its strong aggressiveness and the weirdness of the Shadow Realm itself, no one has ever succeeded in establishing communication with the Shadow Dwellers, And since the Shadow Dwellers cannot survive in the present world for long, no one has ever succeeded in "capturing" them.

Hearing Gawain's question, Amber put her hand under her chin and thought about it for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know, but I suspect they are at least civilized - they are all clothed!" ”

Gawain couldn't help but glance at Amber when he heard this answer: "You have a reason for this, but what you say is the same as not saying it—aren't you called the Shadow Master?" I thought you knew at least more about the Shadow Realm than I did. ”

Amber crossed her waist and shook her heart: "That's why it's said to be 'title'!" ”

Gawain: "......"

Is this elven shame really shameless when he admits such a thing?

Looking at Amber's look of not being ashamed but proud, Gawain could only pout his lips, and then glanced up and down at the half-elf in front of him: "Then again...... Have you ever wondered if you have anything to do with this Shadow Experiment Field? ”

Talking about her background, Amber put away the hippie smile on her face, and she quietly glanced at the round pit: "I don't know...... Although I thought about this when I saw that spatial rift, when I saw Francis II use the Shadow Seal Ring to open the spatial rift...... But I don't have a clue. After all, my parents, whom I had never even met, had just left me a ring, and who knows what that ring meant, and what it really had to do with my background? Or is it just so that the person who picked me up can give me food for the sake of the ring? Even...... Maybe my parents were just two thieves, and the ring they stole it, picked it up, and put it on me, after all, the ring doesn't look very valuable when it's not activated......"

"Your adoptive father, and Pittman, don't they know anything about your origins?"

"Where do they go," Amber laughed, looking very relaxed, "My adoptive father was a thief, claiming to be the strongest stalker in the South, but he had never done anything but petty theft in his life, Uncle Pittman...... Needless to say, you all know that although you have some skills, your mind is full of tricks and abductions......"

"Pittman...... Thinking of the druid who had been messing around all day in the territory, but had actually not only cracked the secret of the Divine Power Inverter Array, but also led the establishment of the entire alchemy industry project, and seemed to have a lot of occult knowledge, Gawain shook his head, "He's not simple. ”

"Lord, the lighting point has been set up - we can only set so much first, and we don't have enough magic net units to carry."

Galderlin's debriefing interrupts Gawain's conversation with Amber: although in private the High Ranger and Gawain would refer to him as old friends, Solderlin insisted on addressing Gawain as "Lord" when it came to business.

Gao Wen glanced around the huge cave, and saw that the section of the road from the entrance of the cave to the central platform was set up with lighting, and there were also temporary magic crystal lamps in some drier areas, he nodded slightly: "Let's evacuate first, and then organize another exploration team to inspect the entire cave." All return. ”

The next day, the pre-war mobilization meeting led by Cecil was held as scheduled.

Looking at the heads of various departments standing in front of him, Gawain did not hide anything, and said bluntly: "Everyone, Ansu will face a war - King Francis II was killed last night. ”

He had hesitated to tell this astonishing information so early, but before the meeting, he had made up his mind.

This was a meeting that only the heads of the various departments of the government department could attend, and each of the participants decided the operation of some of the main functions of Cecil's society, so it was reasonable that they were all qualified to know this information, and secondly, the reason why Gawain asked Hety to convene this meeting in advance was because he had seen the fire in the fortress of the Wind the night before, and heard the information brought by Amber, and he had gathered these people on the premise that he knew that the king had been assassinated, and finally, Gawain also felt that it was time for everyone to know the future direction.

Although almost all the high-level officials in the government hall knew that Cecil's huge social machine would not be at the foot of the dark mountains, this layer of window paper still had to be pierced.

Sure enough, Gawain's words directly caused an uproar in the conference hall.

Even the two knights, Byron and Philip, who had known about the situation last night, showed a solemn appearance.

Because until this moment, they dare to believe that this thing is true.

"I know what you're asking," Gawain raised a hand, and the scene fell silent as he continued, "It's not the Typhonites who did it—it's the cultists of the Society of the End of All Things, and Prince Edmund, who is in collusion with the cultists. And I have every reason to believe that the Duke of the East is also in the middle of it! ”
