Since the end of the Great War of the Holy City in 1688 in the Age of Light, the world of the three continents of Olopa has entered a subtle situation.

The destruction of the Holy City was undoubtedly a major blow to the Central Church of the Holy Light Cult. Although the Central Church was later reinvigorated by the efforts of William, Felizak and others, and new Holy Cities were rebuilt in other cities of Holy Pope Island, the influence and control of the Central Church were not as strong as before, at least for the secular powers.

As for the remnants of the Truth Society, like King Harun, who survived without participating in the Battle of the Holy City, they had to abandon everything they had because of their identities, and left the three continents of Olopa, and traveled across the ocean to the barren Demon Continent to establish a new country of their own. In the Old World, there was no place for the remnants of these Truth Societies, and they had to find another way out of the New World.

With the decline of the Central Church, the idea of governance, which was originally based on the teachings of the Central Church, was greatly questioned. Beginning with the claim that "commoners also have the right to have surnames", the unbreakable barrier between the commoners and the aristocracy has been greatly impacted, similar to the revolution of the former French Yale Empire, which swept almost all human countries like a tidal wave. Beginning with the outbreak of the Revolution in the Kingdom of Sealand in 1690 during the Age of Light, the three continents of Olopa entered what was later called the "Age of the Great Revolution". In some countries, the former royal families, local lords, and old nobles were overthrown by the land, but others chose to compromise and share power with the leaders of the revolutionary army. In this context, new forms of government such as constitutional monarchy, republican parliament, and so on were born.

The era of the Great Revolution lasted for a total of 45 years, and when the flames of revolution were burning at their highest, an unexpected incident came to an abrupt end.

In the year 1735 of the Age of Light, without warning, a tsunami swept almost all the coastal areas of Olopa, followed by a large-scale invasion of the Poseidon Clan, which opened the prelude to a new round of Poseidon War. In the face of a common enemy, all nations and races had to join forces again to resist, including the aggressive revolutionary army and the recalcitrant old nobles, all of whom had to put aside their previous suspicions and resist the invasion of the Poseidon Clan.

This Poseidon War lasted for 12 years, not only humans, but also dragons, two elves, dwarves, and orcs all joined the coalition one after another, and finally the Olopa coalition army drove all the Poseidon tribes who invaded the continent back to the sea after paying a heavy price.

It is said that in this Poseidon War, a legendary hero was born on the side of the continental alliance. She is a white-clothed blonde, light magic attainment of a very high attainment, under the peerless face, is unparalleled absolute strength, if it is not for her to hit many strong people of the Seagod Clan, the mainland alliance force to enter the counteroffensive stage may have to be delayed for a few years, at that time, the mainland may not know what to be destroyed.

But a legend is a legend, and after the war, the powerful and beautiful heroine disappeared, and no one could find her, leaving no trace of her existence except for the oral accounts of a few eyewitnesses - so that later historians have to wonder if such a miraculous heroine was nothing more than a lie concocted by the top brass of the Continental Coalition at that time to encourage morale.

After the end of the Poseidon War, although small conflicts still occurred from time to time, no new large-scale wars broke out for the time being, and the three continents of Olopa entered a relatively stable stage of reconstruction and recovery.

......

Autumn of the Bright Age 1778, evening.

Serre Village.

After decades of reconstruction, this small village, once in ruins, has been restored to its former life.

The wheat harvest is abundant, the adults are busy and happy, and the children are running around happily, a peaceful scene.

Since the village of Searle has produced several famous people, the villagers proudly use "Searle" as their surname.

On the hill behind the village is a church that is not grandiose, but not imposing, and behind it, there is a large cemetery. Under the tombstones, large and small, there are many souls of the old people who have returned to their hometowns.

In the middle of the cemetery was a wheelchair, on which sat an emaciated, shriveled figure. When I got closer, it was a weathered old woman, with a wrinkled face, yellow skin, and a withered appearance, who was leaning on the back of a wheelchair and falling asleep, and if it weren't for the gentle swaying of a strand of white hair in front of her nose, one might think that she had been dead for a long time.

"So you're hiding here. Your grandchildren and great-grandchildren are looking for you everywhere and are almost crazy. ”

Behind the wheelchair, the voice of a young woman like a warbler fluttering in the air, adding a touch of life to the desolate, gloomy cemetery.

The old woman's eyelids trembled slightly, and she didn't want to open them completely, but she knew who was coming, and said in a slow, subtle tone: "Find, talk to an old friend, and fall asleep unconsciously." ”

"Then you can't sleep here, you'll catch a cold. The young woman's voice behind her sounded again, and a shadow came. As she sounds, she is a young girl in her early 20s, with blonde hair and white clothes, peerless beauty, and a graceful figure - just like she did back then.

Sophia came to the wheelchair and gently put a blanket over the old woman's knee.

"You...... I don't know, when you get older, it's easy to sleep. At all times, you can fall asleep. The old woman replied slowly.

"I'll push you back. The juniors are waiting for you, a century-old man, to preside over the harvest festival. With that, Sophia walked to the back of her wheelchair and was about to push it.

"Wait. Let me ...... again Let me talk to them again. Ischenova patted Sophia's hand.

Hearing this, Sophia also nodded slightly and took a step back.

She looked around at the tombstones, tears in her beautiful eyes, her jade hands like white fat clenched together, and decades of memories came to her heart like a river and a sea......

Joika, whose life ended in the late Revolutionary War era, was alone when he was able to get out the big stuff by the time he sent out the important information, and the bounty hunter legend had already shed his blood.

Cassius and Ray fell in the fierce Poseidon War, Cassius detonated his own magic power to use the forbidden magic "Absolute Zero", and thousands of Poseidon army perished, and he himself was shattered into ice slag, and his bones were gone, while Ray was one against five in the battle with the Sea Dragon Legion, and finally dragged to the arrival of the Golden Dragon reinforcements at the cost of his life, and his body was brought back to the Golden Dragon Sanctuary by the Golden Dragon Empress Grace.

Since neither brother left a body, their tombstones are nothing more than burial mounds.

Lyle embarked on the path of academic research, and if it weren't for the accident of that magic experiment, he would probably have lived to an advanced age.

As for Dani and Alice, the two of them were able to die a good death. Dani lived to be 72 years old, and Alice lived to be 76 years old, and both of them wanted to bury their bones in the village of Searle on their deathbeds. Although this place is quite foreign to them, it is a seclusion for their best friends, and even after death, they still want to stay with Sophia and be with her.

Finally, Sophia's gaze rested on a blank tombstone. Again, there were no bodies underneath the tomb, except for half a handkerchief and a holy sword. The tombstone was erected by Sophia's own hands, but there was no epitaph engraved on it, and probably until now, she still does not want to believe that the owner of the tombstone has left her.

I obviously said that I would accompany me to watch the sunset every day. You liar......

The scenes of the past echoed in my heart, until I was fixed on the figure who resolutely stopped in front of me and smiled back.

Hot tears dripped down Sophia's pink cheeks.

Feeling the temperature of her tears, Ischenova slowly raised her head, glanced at Sophia, and couldn't help but shake her head. At this time, Ischenova, who was more than 100 years old, was still clear in her heart, she knew what Sophia's obsession was, and after so many years, she did not let go at all. By Ishnova's age, she had already seen through life and death, but what about Sophia, who would never be able to reach Ishnova's feelings.

Now, Ishennova may be able to talk to Sophia, but in a little while, maybe she will be with the guys underground...... Alas, forget it, I don't want to do so much, so let's talk a few more words with Sophia while I still have a few breaths.

To live forever is to watch the people around you keep leaving.

The immortal body, the gift given to Sophia by the Seraphic Angel Uriel back then was really a curse.
