11 Clue Concatenation

When Milo, Erin, and Nightfinch regained consciousness from the white light, they all thought that they had experienced a long time, until Klan explained to them that "time in memory is faster than time in reality", and they realized that they had only been in place for a moment, not even as long as a meal. Even after recovering from the effects of the white light and memories, the trio were still shocked by what they had seen, and they couldn't wait to share what they had seen.

"Let's talk about them one by one, we still have a lot of time." Koran prepared pen and paper and began to record everyone's narratives.

At dinnertime, the four of them shared everything they saw in the memory of the wind chime, and everyone tried their best to say everything they saw, heard and all kinds of details, and Kelan also wrote one manuscript after another, and the four of them entered a state of concentration and selflessness.

"I'll deliver dinner." One of the guards left the meal at the door, and after the four of them thanked them, he added: "Captain Allen has sent two sailors along the way to check on us, saying that they are idle on the beach, and reminding us to go back as far as possible before we run out of supplies." ”

After the soldier left, Milo brought the food to the group, but no one reached for it, because everyone was paying attention to the memory information that had just been sorted out.

"First of all, it is necessary to confirm the time of these four memories to sort them out, and the order is very important." Kolan said first, and the three of them agreed. This sort is not a very difficult task, especially the fragments of memories that Milo and Erin see, which are clearly the scene on the day and night of the decisive battle of the "Battle of the Black Gate" - the dragon appears in the battle, and the night is the father and daughter meet.

"It can be seen that the statement that a dragon appeared on the day of the decisive battle of the 'Battle of the Black Gate' can be confirmed to be accurate." Melo said to Koran, who nodded slightly—she had searched all over the place for clues and traveled about the matter, and now she finally felt a little comforted and worthy.

"Hey, and the ancestors of the little Irene family, what a brave and commendable person." Klan also lamented to Erin that although Erin was not a member of the Akayi family, she was still proud of the family that adopted her.

"Amazing people!" "The pride of the Akayi family." Nightfinch and Milo also added, and Erin's heart was pounding.

Kelan opened his book "The Rise and Fall of the Split Sun" and said: "The decisive battle of the 'Battle of the Black Gate' took place in 1244, the same year when the coup d'état broke out, according to the memory I saw 'around forty years', the wind chime and the dying King Lane met in 1284, which is consistent with the record in the official history, so the time of this memory is determined." After saying that, Kran fell into thought for a moment, as the wind chime said, Kran saw this memory is very strange, many of King Lane's words on his deathbed are of unknown meaning, and two names are mentioned - Umi Stream and House Luku.

"I know that 'Flow' is the surname of the royal family of the Dragonon Empire," said Erin, who knew a little about the Dragonon Empire, such as the vine armor she used to wear, where it came from, "but the surname 'Luku'...... I don't really know. ”

"Could it be from Aube?" Nightsparrow guessed that she turned her gaze to Kolan, hoping to get confirmation from her well-informed.

"Well, that's right." "'Lüku' was once the surname of the royal family of the Aube Empire, and Haus Lüku was the most influential monarch in the history of the Aube Empire. ”

"Ever? Did the Aube royal family change their surname? Or was it usurped? Milo asked, not knowing much about the history of foreign countries.

"Neither," Koran immediately denied, "Obey allowed women to inherit the throne, and the royal family name changed because of her husband's surname. ”

"Oh-" The other three suddenly realized, they remembered that there was a queen in the Aube Empire.

"As for Umi Liu," Kran continued, "as Irene said, he was indeed a member of the royal family of the Dragongon Empire, and a prince, and there are not many records in the annals, the only thing that is known is that he died for offending the Wanyuan Sect. ”

"Offending the Wanyuan Sect? Where does this begin? As a member of the Ten Thousand Dollar Sect, Erin wanted to know why.

Kelan pondered for a moment and said: "There is no record of the specific situation in history, only mentioning that Umi Liu, who was originally the heir to the throne, was later persecuted by many followers for weakening the power of the Wanyuan Sect in the country, and then was exiled, and has not been heard from since, and it is said that he was finally killed by the assassins of the Wanyuan Sect. ”

"Wanyuan Sect has done such a despicable thing?" Erin said with some nervousness.

Night Sparrow took over: "No one's hands are clean in a power struggle. ”

Kelan nodded in acquiescence and said, "Hey, haven't you also been to the Golden City (Port of Parsima in Dragon, the largest port in the world), and you must have an impression of the statue of the god of all sources, which is not only a symbol of faith, but also a proof of power." ”

A series of words had a huge impact on Erin, she stared at the ground with a dull gaze, her expression was slightly embarrassed, as a religious believer, she really couldn't accept such a statement, but it was not a slander, but a fact, she felt uncomfortable, but speechless, she had to endure it.

Milo noticed Erin's predicament, put his hand on her shoulder, and stole the conversation to divert the topic: "Then this Umi Liu, Haus Luku, and the two brothers Ab Royer and Ryan Royer, plus the great magician Para Dax...... Are they all people of the same age and the same age? ”

Hearing Milo's question, Kelan suddenly raised his head and said, "Hey, that's a good question!" Then she did the math for a moment, "They are very close in age!" Milo, I didn't expect you to notice this, that's great. ”

Nightfinch was puzzled and asked, "How...... How is it 'too good'? Their age is close, what does it mean? ”

Kelan motioned to the night sparrow to wait, thought for a moment again, and smiled joyfully: "In their time, there was a legend about a knowledgeable hermit in the desert of despair, and many princes and nobles came to him to study...... We can speculate that the two young princes, the Roye brothers, from the kingdom of Spellet, the young princes Umi and Haus, from Dragon and Aube, and Pala Dax, who had not yet become a great magician, gathered to study under the hermit...... Doesn't that prove why King Lane was able to pronounce the name of his companion when he was dying! The more Kelan spoke, the more excited she became, she seemed to have found the key to open the door to the truth, "I have checked a lot of historical sources, but none of them mention that these people visited each other, so the legend of the hermit is true. Imagine that these people may discover the cruel truth of the 'curse of the stars' in the process of apprenticeship, and then work together to avoid the 'harvest' after returning to China...... Really, this would also explain why Para Dax and Albert Royer had a lot of unreasonable actions......" The excited Koran explained to the trio, although Irene and Nightfinch still had some things they didn't understand, but they also basically understood what Koran called "the legend of the hermit".

"Kelan, these are just speculations, right?" Erin asked with some hesitation, her mood was not as low as she had just been.

"Well, it's all just speculation," Kelan replied, she didn't lose her mind from excitement, "after all, there are many things that can't be explained for the time being: for example, who is Feng Chime's father?" Why did he say that only himself, Para and Wind Chime could become dragons? Why are the two brothers, Ryan and Albert, so different in their way of governing? …… These are all unanswerable for the time being. ”

Night Sparrow suddenly snatched it and said, "There is another one, if the legend about the hermit is true, then there will always be some traces, where did they learn from the hermit?" Melo laughed and pointed to the Nightsparrow at his feet.

"Here?!" Nightsparrow finally realizes this.

"Hey, this is it." Kelan also reminded.

It seems that a lot of speculation has been explained.

"And what clues do we have next?" Nightsparrow asked.

"The clue is the dragon! Let's go find him. Koran replied, "Night Sparrow, the place where you remember the meeting between the Wind Chimes and the dragon is definitely halfway island, which is confirmed by the words of the wind chimes and their father when they met at the Black Gate, 'Come to halfway to find me.'" And in terms of time, Milo, when do you think that memory happened? ”

Milo thought for a moment and said, "It should have been after the Battle of Windwalk, Nightsparrow didn't hear the wind chimes say, 'Someone recently mentioned the Curse of the Stars to me', I think that person is me, it should make sense." ”

Nightsparrow nodded, and then asked, "What if you get to halfway to the island?" We can't make the sound of a dragon, so how can we call the dragon to meet us? ”

"Hey, that's a good question!" Koran said appreciatively, then pulled out a spell stone from his pocket, which Nightfinch noticed was the one used to summon the wind chimes at the Ryx's altar.

"Oh!" "I see, the sound of the spell stone summoning the wind chimes is the same as the sound of the wind chimes calling the dragon!" I said, "Why is it so familiar!" Can...... But so what? Even if we know what a dragon is called from the words carved into the spell stone, we can't make a dragon's roar, which humans can't make, do you know who can become a dragon? This was indeed a problem, and even Milo and Erin looked at Klan, waiting for her response, because Klan was still in full shape.

"Our friends, the Green Dragon Mercenaries, they can help us." Kelan replied, this answer surprised the three of them, "The Green Dragon Mercenary Organization is in my hometown of the Duchy of Komet, they have a 'Horn Spell Stone', which is said to be able to transform human voices into dragon roars, I just need to go back to them and borrow them, and we can go to Midway Island to call the dragon." The three nodded in unison.

"I see!" Milo said, clapping his hands at the same time, "It seems that our investigation here can be over, let's leave tomorrow and go back, and when we get to the ship, we will discuss the next step." ”

"Hey, I agree." "Hmm." "Uh...... All right. There was a consensus.

"It's not early, hurry up and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow." Milo said, escorting Erin and Nightfinch back to the resting room, the moment he walked out of the door, he suddenly felt a burning gaze behind him, he suddenly turned around, only to see that Kelan was still stacking up a few stacks of books, continuing to look through the historical materials. "Delusion?" Milo scratched her head and left with Erin. It was still early to rest, and Milo found Erin again and comforted her not to pay special attention to the Wanyuan Sect, which made Erin feel a little relieved.

Melo returned to the room of the four murals, looking at the mixture of peace and killing, recalling the clues and speculations that Kelan had just mentioned, and suddenly noticed an indescribable aura, which was hidden in the joy of Kolan's breakthrough, although it was not obvious, but it was still there—repression. Not only the four of them, but also the guards outside, and perhaps even the sailors on the seashore, were all so puzzled by the mystery of this desert. And now they are one step closer to the truth they have been seeking, and the repression that comes with it is slowly being exposed. Melo fears that this negativity may explode at some point, and that she must lead the group out of here quickly.

And while reading the historical materials, Kelan is also reminiscing about the words of the wind chimes - "Melo Ente Coman may have done very evil things". Regarding the encounter and conversation with the wind chime in his memory, Koran didn't say a word about it to the others.

The next day, early in the morning of April 17, Milo ordered the guards to pack their bags and prepare to evacuate to the seaside.

As the team was about to leave, a frightened shout suddenly came from the dark building—
