As the largest city among the thirteen secular powers in the world of Olopa, Alexandria is like a huge fire plate at this time, fueled by living people and buildings in the city, and the sky-white flames are burning vigorously. And at this very moment, the leader of the Golden Dragon Clan, who caused this terrible destruction and massacre, and its leader, at least the former leader, Isabel, was standing on the top of a hill on the western outskirts of the city, letting the mountain wind stir her golden hair, and watching the destruction and slaughter below.

"Your Highness, I don't understand, you care so much about the lives and deaths of these human beings, why didn't you try your best to stop them before?" Shatarikis, who was standing behind him, asked, "Obviously, as long as you convince His Highness Grace, you can directly veto the decision you don't like, and the three elders have no way at all." ”

"I don't care if those humans are dead or alive. Isabel replied coldly, "As for turning humans into indentured slaves, that's even more of a fantasy, but the three elders and the group of followers around them are deeply trapped in such a dream. They will only be able to really come to their senses after hitting their heads and bleeding from their heads. ”

"Your Highness, I don't understand"

"Shatarikis, although you don't have many opportunities to come into contact with humans, you should know that humans are not as simple and weak as the group of guys from the Elder Sect imagined, and that cunning fairy dragon, since she dares to spread wild in the Golden Dragon Sanctuary, will she not be able to predict the upcoming revenge of the Golden Dragon Clan?"

"You mean, it's a trap?"

"That's right. It seems that this time, the Elder Sect will have to shed its skin if it doesn't die. ”

"I thought that the only person affected by humans was Her Highness Grace before her memories were erased. Shatarikis couldn't help but sigh, "Is this what humans often call 'killing with a knife'?"

"I just want the three elders to suffer a little. Otherwise, they really think that as long as they empty Grace, they can do whatever they want. Isabel raised her head and looked at the sea of clouds in the sky that was dyed gold, "But lesson is lesson, even if the Elders go astray, they are compatriots of the Golden Dragon Clan after all, and I will not sit idly by and watch them lose their lives here." ”

Isabel's words suddenly brightened Shataricis's heart, and he took a step forward and made a request that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Your Highness, do you want to send a hand to the elders at the right time? Even so, I want to ......"

"No!" Before Shatarikis could finish speaking, Isabel flatly rejected him.

"Your Highness......"

"I know what I want to do. Two thousand years ago, you were deceived and fooled by that fairy dragon, so much so that you made a big mistake and became a thorn in your heart that you could not get rid of. You want to kill her with your own hands to wash away your 2,000-year-old shame. I understand this feeling very well, but in this matter, we must not take direct action, otherwise we will not be able to achieve the greatest effect of teaching the three elders a lesson. ”

"Your Highness Isabel, I have been following you for more than three thousand years, and I don't know what the strategy is, nor what to calculate, but I know that it is not feasible for you to borrow two humans. If even the Elders can't cope with a situation, what can just two humans do?"

"Shatarikis, I asked you to protect Ray three times, and you don't seem to understand the meaning of letting you do this. ”

"I ......"

"Didn't you notice that you were secretly following them around, and I knew the first time I met their eyes, and they were bound to be the future of the world. ”

Death is rife throughout Alexandria at the time of its destruction, but there is an inconspicuous angle in the city that is protected by powerful illusions and is a completely safe area.

It was an old warehouse four or five blocks east of the palace, originally used to store war rations and blankets for the Imperial Army, but the contents were emptied and abandoned a few years ago.

The invisible illusion enchantment shrouded the warehouse around and above it, and the dragons roared through the sky, oblivious to the warehouse, not a single fireball falling on the old wooden roof of the warehouse, and due to the unique location of the warehouse, the raging fire of the surrounding buildings did not spread here.

If the illusion enchantment can fool the dragons, it will definitely be able to fool the humans. The panicked inhabitants fled in all directions, scurrying around the old warehouse, but no one ran into the warehouse for refuge, with the exception of the very few who knew about the existence of the illusionary barrier from the beginning, of course.

In the empty old warehouse, the ruler of the Empire, Empress Ipeya, was now sitting on the only wooden chair, her hands folded on her knees, her eyes closed, and she was silently contemplating, as if the roars and screams outside were non-existent. The three Fernández sisters stood guard beside the Empress in their different positions, Nanokai stood upright in front of Ipeia, Sasha applied her nail polish casually, and only the furry Milari remained quiet and paced back and forth.

In fact, in the warehouse, there are not only four of them. On the beam from which the rollers are hung, sits a male figure. Prince Harun, the "Riverman", with his back against the wall, his left foot hanging in the air, his right foot bowed over the beam, held a small dagger with lines carved into the shaft of his arrow.

As soon as the Golden Dragons' attack began, Empress Ipeia quietly left her convoy while the others were drawn to the dragons. She took off her gorgeous costume, changed into the clothes of ordinary civilian women, and hurried to this old warehouse blessed with illusion enchantment, where she met with the three sisters and Prince Harlan as agreed in advance. In this catastrophe, anyone can die, but a few of them cannot.

Suddenly, a purple light appeared from the center of the warehouse. A young woman in purple clothes and purple hair showed her graceful figure and beautiful appearance more and more clearly in the purple light.

"Fudilokaya, where have you been?" Ipeia slowly opened her eyes, she got up from her chair and walked towards the beauty in purple.

"You and I have re-established a contract and can feel exactly where I am. Do you trust me?" the fairy dragon in human form, Fudilokaya, questioned Ipeia in turn.

"No, I'm just worried that you're going to run into a golden dragon outside. "Ipeya's mind was spinning fast.

Fudilokaya knew that Ipeia was not right, and she didn't dismantle Ipeia, but just sighed secretly. After waiting for more than 3,000 years, she concluded the contract again, and she knew that her contractor's heart had changed, and she had become distrustful of even her dragon partner, which made Fudilokaya feel a little cold.

However, Fudilokaya didn't dwell on this topic for too long, and she directly explained her intentions: "Now the time is ripe, we can move on to the next stage." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was not Iperia who reacted first, but Prince Harun, who was sitting on the beam, who immediately stopped his work and pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation of the women below.

"I see. Ipeia seemed to sense Prince Harun's movements, and she didn't say much, but responded simply.

Then, Vederokaya nodded, and her body faded before disappearing into thin air.

After Fudilokaya had completely disappeared, Ipeiya raised her head and said to the prince on the beam, "Your Highness Harun, don't you want to know what the next stage of the plan is?"

"Haha. Prince Harun chuckled dryly.

In the manner of hanging the golden bell upside down, he hooked his feet to the beam, hung his body upside down, reached out and grabbed the roller, and slid down the four- or five-meter-high beam to Ipeia with the pull of the rope.

Julian was alone running through the burning streets.

From time to time, screaming "fire men" rushed out of the burning buildings on both sides of the road. Julian flawlessly rescued these people, and even if he could save one or two, he would not be able to settle them. After all, this is not outside the city.

......

Dozens of minutes ago, Julian and Owen worked together to save a little girl from the gate of the North City, but looking at the little girl's burned and disfigured face, they knew how difficult it would be to save one more person.

"Let's go our separate ways. After hypnotizing the little girl with telekinesis, making her forget the pain of her burns in her deep sleep, Owen offered his advice, "Julian, you go in first and find your Empress there, if she's really the key." I took the kid to safety and went to find where Ray was. ”

"Good. So how do we converge?"

Owen shoved a tarot card into his hand.

......

Now, after separating from Owen, Julian has become more isolated. He didn't know where Ipeya was, but he knew that Ipeia must still be alive and hiding somewhere in Alexandria, and the only place Julian could think of was the palace. Although the main hall of the palace had collapsed from a distance, Julian persevered through the four blocks of fire, desperately approaching in the direction where the palace was located.

Suddenly, Julian saw that in the area east of the palace, a purple beam of light suddenly rushed into the sky, blooming into a brilliant purple giant flower above the unscrupulous golden dragons.

In the purple light, Julian recognized the familiar and unfamiliar corridor: the fairy dragon, a strange dragon with butterfly wings and purple scales.

How so?

Now Julian finally realizes that the scene before him is familiar: the burning Alexander, the golden dragons that destroy the city, the inhabitants in classical costumes, the mysterious purple dragon......

It was a few months ago, in the ruins of the city underground, Julian and Ipeya were attacked by unknown spirits together, and in his sleep, Julian saw the scene.

Julian had always thought that what he had seen in his dream was the tragic history of the city, but now Julian realized that the dream was not a repetition of the past, but a foreshadowing of the future.
