In a dense and deep forest, there is an old lime tree.

Next to the old lime tree, there is a bottomless pool.

The waterhole has a dark surface, like a black gem without blemish.

An ordinary-looking frog crouched by the waterhole.

The surface of the pond reflected its appearance, and its two protruding eyes showed a thick color of horror.

"Ah, quack, if it's a nightmare, quack, let me wake up quickly. Croak. The frog actually spoke, and his tone was full of sorrow.

"Father...... Quack, Henry...... Where are you? Where is this? The frog looked around helplessly, with a deep look of pain.

"How can I become an adult again? quack quack ......"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the forest.

The talking frog was startled, and a natural jump, like an innate instinct, jumped into the waterhole and lurked beside the aquatic plants.

Along with the footsteps, there is also a light nursery rhyme.

"The child born on Monday is very good-looking;"

"A child born on Tuesday is full of joy and joy;"

"A child born on Wednesday has more sorrow;"

"A child born on Thursday is far away from the place where he was born;"

"Children born on Friday know how to love and give;"

"Children born on Saturday have to work hard to earn a living;"

"A child born on Sunday is upright and wise, kind and happy!"

Hearing this, the talking frog looked out through the gap in the water and saw a girl who looked as bright as the sun, with a jewel-embellished laurel on her head, wearing a royal blue duplex court dress, and holding a round golden ball in her hand, approaching the waterhole.

The frog's protruding eyes were full of shock, not only because of the girl's flawless beauty, but more importantly, as the girl approached, the talking frog felt that some of the shackles on his body were loosening.

The frog fell into deep thought for a moment: just getting close would have this effect, if it came closer......

The girl who was as bright as the sun did not notice the existence of the frog, yes, who would pay attention to an ordinary frog hiding before it spoke.

The girl came straight to the old lime tree, sat down beside the waterhole, and then began to play with the little golden ball by herself.

The little golden ball is not big, less than the size of a palm, and a little bigger than a duck egg.

She tosses the little golden ball into the air and catches it with her hand.

Although it was just a simple game, the girl had a lot of fun, with a big smile on her face, and she suddenly suppressed the flowers and beautiful scenery around her.

Suddenly, when the little golden ball fell from the air across a parabola, the little girl reached out to catch it, but because of a misjudgment, the little golden ball did not fall into her hand, but fell to the ground, and then rolled into the pool.

The little girl's two big blazing eyes stared intently at the little golden ball, but the golden ball suddenly drowned in the pool.

The waterhole is so deep that you can't see it all at a glance.

The little girl was overwhelmed and panicked, and she burst into tears when she saw this.

The thought that the little golden ball would never come back, that she would lose the little golden ball forever, made the little girl cry louder and sadder.

And at this time, the strange frog who secretly approached the little girl, after feeling that the shackles on his body had loosened a few more times, suddenly ignited a flame of hope in his heart.

The witch apprentice who let it go didn't tell it how to break the spell.

But it seems to see a glimmer of life in the little girl.

The talking frog made a sudden decision in his heart, and jumped out, "Quack......"

The Kingdom of Louis, whose land area resembles a horse's hoof, is a country where the people believe in the Lord of Light.

The Alva family, who rule this kingdom, have always been devout followers of the Lord of Light.

Under the influence of the Alva family, the whole country is full of churches of the Lord of Light, as well as the emblem of the Lord of Light, so the soldiers of this country have the title of guardians, the Holy Book in one hand, the cross sword in the other, and the spirit of religious fearlessness.

They believe that fighting for the Lord of Light will enter the kingdom of the Lord of Light and bathe in the glory of the Lord of Light after death.

Because of this fanatical belief, the Kingdom of Louis can also rank among the large and small countries in the entire continent, and it is a sharp spear in the hands of the Church of the Lord of Light, and it is also one of the main sources of soldiers in the Eastern Crusade.

All along, the Alva family has had the ambition of expanding outwards and promoting the faith of the Lord of Light, wanting to change the name of the Kingdom of Louis to the Empire of St. Louis.

It's just that it is blocked by many factors in reality, and there are some high-ranking people within the Church of the Lord of Light, and they don't want the power of the Louis Kingdom to expand.

Of course, more importantly, the Kingdom of Louis was a belligerent nation, but not a wealthy one.

Behind the war is a huge amount of money.

If the war is won, it is okay, but what I am most afraid of is falling into a stalemate, which is the bottomless pit.

Coupled with other constraints, several countries around the Kingdom of Louis have faintly formed a fragile balance.

In fact, this balance is everywhere on the whole continent, and as long as the time is right, every owner of the land is keen to increase the land under his name in various ways.

This means more wealth.

Barona, the capital of the Kingdom of Louis, is a fortress city with a vast area and rugged architecture.

In the heart of the capital is Isvan Palace.

The building is magnificent, and the layout of the Isfan Palace is tightly coordinated, and the architectural style of the flat-roofed form is adopted, which looks upright and majestic.

At the top of the outer wall of the palace, there are lifelike marble statues, all of which are the works of the masters, and the statues are either saints of the Church of the Lord of Light or kings of the kingdom of Louis.

But who would have thought that 300 years ago, the place where the majestic Isfan Palace was located, was a swamp and wild forest that everyone avoided?

At the beginning, the Alva family was just a small knight family, and was not looked down upon by the real nobles, the Alva family was divided into this territory, relying on the pious belief in the Lord of the Holy Light, and the achievements obtained by sacrificing life and death, several generations of hard work and marriage, finally sat on the throne of the lord of the kingdom of Louis.

Time is indeed the greatest miracle.

After a little disguise, he followed the flow of people and walked into this kind of city with traces of history, and finally stayed in a hotel called the Eagle Hotel, and looked at the ordinary people who came and went outside, with a tired face, and thought with emotion in his heart.
