The city-state of Nailo is located in the southwest of the Star River Continent, and was originally a coastal city belonging to the Kingdom of Medin. Once upon a time, the prosperity of the city-state of Nailo was unrivaled that of Olopa, the location of the seaside and the excellent deep-water port brought the city-state rich trade profits, the fertile arable land allowed it to be self-sufficient, and as an important naval base of the Kingdom of Medine at the time, the city-state enjoyed the priority of the royal family in all aspects, but the citizens of the city-state of Nailo were most proud of not the economic or military strength, but the lord family who managed the city-state.

The Moraison family is a talented family, and since the founding of the city-state of Nailo, the family has produced countless thinkers, famous ministers, good generals and other outstanding figures in Olopa.

However, the flowers are not as red as whooping days. The myth of the prosperity of the city-state of Nailo was abruptly ended one day a thousand years ago. The last lord of the castle was a young and promising paladin who was beloved by his people for his kindness and integrity, but, to borrow a proverb from the true kingdom of the Far East: "Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He." "In the end, it was this paladin city lord who dragged the extremely prosperous city-state of Nailo into a place of no return.

Today's city-state of Naelo has no merchant mariners, no clanging iron, no sailors training day and night, and no bustling crowd...... There is just a dead silence. Today's city-state of Nailo is synonymous with "horror" for the people of Olopa. No one would be bored enough to visit that cursed city, and in fact, even if someone were to go to Naello, they wouldn't make it. Because in the woods and seas on the outskirts of the city-state, an enchantment is laid that cannot be seen by the naked eye or perceived by magic, and anyone who approaches or enters the enchantment will be inexplicably lost, or forget the purpose of their arrival, or suddenly remember some "important thing" and return. In short, under the protection of that invisible barrier, no one has been able to approach or enter the city-state of Nailo for more than a thousand years, and no one knows what is going on in the city-state today, and any description of the city-state of Nailo today is only people's subjective speculation.

But there are always exceptions. The invisible barrier was not able to stop an outsider, and the vulture standing on the back of the boss's seat was able to successfully break through the barrier and reach the interior of the city-state of Nailo because it had the same magic power as the frequency and attributes of the barrier. However, this kind of thing doesn't happen very often, it has only happened twice in the last thousand years or so, and now it's the third time.

"Nothing to do in the Three Treasures, Lich King. The knight, who sat on the throne of the commander, said the first words in hundreds of years in a wooden voice.

Callowe, the Lich King, who was thousands of miles away, smiled and replied to the pool, "I just came to see you, little Jack. ”

"Don't beat around the bush, you're here for the bloodsucking prince's business. ”

"It seems that your news is not completely blocked. ”

"I'm not deaf or blind. ”

"That's fine. The Lich King put away his smile and ended his teasing, and said in a stern tone, "As you know, after the quarrel between Edward and his vampires a few days ago, the truth has finally surfaced. ”

"Hmph, so what?" replied the knight indifferently, "you did it on purpose, using the Vampire Prince as cannon fodder. ”

"Huh, little Jack, why do you think that? ”

"You and I are both from the Central Church, but Edward is not, and before that, he has never had direct contact with the Truth Society, so it can be said that he knows nothing about the information of the Truth Society. You knew that the vampire prince would take action against the Central Church, but you didn't report these intelligence to him, you deliberately sacrificed the vampire clan to lure out your old enemy Truth Society, I'm not wrong. ”

"What an interesting corollary. But you should also know Edward's temperament, and even if I tell you all that I know, do you think it will change the decision of the proud vampire king? No, it will happen, and the end result will be the same. ”

"He is worthy of being the heir of the Pope and can speak well. I know you've been secretly plotting to destroy the Truth Society for over 2,000 years, but that's your business, don't drag me into the water. ”

"Why did you refuse so simply, you were also a victim of the Truth Society, and you have enough reason to take revenge on that organization. ”

"I should bear the sins I have committed myself, and I will not pass the blame on others. ”

This has nothing to do with atonement or not. Since you and I have existed in the world in this form for thousands of years, we have obligations that we must bear. The complete destruction of the Truth Society is more important than any of our unbearable past combined. ”

"That's just what you think is an obligation, Lich King. Even if you are clever in your words, you can't change my decision. Yes, there was an alliance between the Isle of Death, the Blood Mountains, and the city-state of Nairlo, but it was only a non-aggression pact—at least that's what I thought. ”

"Ah...... I really didn't expect you to be so stubborn to this day. The Lich King sighed at the knight's attitude of having no room for manoeuvre.

The armor trembled slightly, and a small amount of dust fell.

"It's not helpful to say more. Come back, Lich King, and don't bother me again. "The knight gave the order to evict the guest.

The water of the pool ripples. The vulture's sight vanished, and when the water calmed down, only the reflection of the water remained as before.

The Lich King Callovan shook his head helplessly and summoned a black scythe......

After seeing his master come out of the spatial rift, the Lich King's deputy, the necromancer Gitylle, hurriedly greeted him.

"Lord Lich King, what is the outcome of the negotiation?"

"Failed. Little Jack still can't get out of the shadow of the sins of the past, he can't extricate himself, he won't join us. It seems that in this tough battle, we can only fight alone. ”

Githil was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't the strength of our Isle of Death enough to solve it alone? ”

"Your wife is underestimating your opponent, Githil. The truth will be far more powerful than you think, and if we can succeed on our own, I won't have to endure it for 2,000 years. In addition, you must not underestimate the Death Knight, although among the undead triumvirate, he has the least qualifications, but his strength is the strongest, and it is estimated that the strength of me and Edward may not be comparable to half of Little Jack. But that's not the most important thing. The city-state of Nairo has a mysterious fleet of ghosts, and that's what we can rely on to completely defeat the Truth - only if Little Jack agrees to join us, of course. "The Lich King has taught his men a lesson.

Recognizing his superficiality, Githil asked cautiously, "My lord, since the negotiations between us and the Death Knight have not been successful, should we postpone the operation?" ”

"Nope. Matters that are already on the agenda should not be put on hold. Even if Little Jack doesn't want to lend a hand, we have other cards to play. At this moment, the Lich King's face showed a faint sadness that was not easy to feel.

"Other hole cards?" asked Githil, unaware.

But the Lich King did not answer, and with his usual smile, he said, "Githil, go and call those two." ”
