In the northeast corner of the continent, near the coastline, there is a lone peak that towers into the sky, and I think it has stood there proudly since ancient times, like a sharp sword into the sky.

In the evening, under the light of the setting sun, the shadow of Lone Peak was cast on the sea of mist, like a sharp sword qi, splitting the mist that permeated the sea and extending to the depths of the sea.

On the summit platform with a radius of only 100 meters, there was an old man with hair like snow sitting cross-legged, quietly watching the ebb and flow of the sea of mist not far away.

For some reason, what should have been a picturesque landscape is filled with a sense of gloom, and even though the sun is still warm, it makes those who see it feel an unbearable chill.

Behind the old man, there was a sudden sharp whistling sound in the distance, as if something had pierced the air and was flying in this direction at high speed.

The speed of the coming object was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it flew behind the old man, and plunged straight into the ground ten meters away from him, and it was the Divine Sword Mingyue Fenghua who abandoned Sword!

"You're back!" it seems that Sword ......" The old man let out a deep sigh without looking back, not surprised by the arrival of the bright moon and the grace of the moon, as if he had returned from the moon and saw the end of Ward.

The bright moon Fenghua let out a buzzing sword sound, from which you could feel the obvious sense of excitement, as if the wanderer who had not returned home for a long time had finally returned to his parents.

"Marshal Sebastin, why don't you show up when you're already here? The old man didn't continue to pay attention to the bright moon and said, still sitting there without moving.

Behind the old man, not far from the bright moon, after a burst of space distortion, a long figure stepped out of the void. The person who came was dressed in a straight royal blue military uniform and wore it on his body, which was extraordinarily fitting and looked heroic, as if he was born a soldier.

"Is it already the Mithril Sanctuary, and it seems that you have improved more than I could have imagined. After sensing the spatial fluctuations around Sebastian, the old man sighed softly. The ability to use the power of space shows that he is not not even stepping into the Sanctuary as rumored, but a genuine Mithril Sanctuary.

Sebastian bowed slightly at the figure of the old man: "Teacher, long time no see!"

The old man's face showed a look of great nostalgia: "Teacher! We don't seem to have seen each other since you became the Marshal of the Empire, nor have we heard you call me a teacher to your face. I didn't expect to hear this title again, but you and I would have to meet each other. ”

As soon as the old man came up, he broke Sebastian's true intention, but Sebastian didn't have half an embarrassed look on his face, although the old man was not wrong, but he didn't bother to justify anything for those false names.

"Teacher, you should know that I don't actually want to make such a choice, but the current situation is already very critical, and if you are willful in the way, I am afraid that the entire continent will fall into crisis. Sebastian calmly looked at the old man's tall back, once upon a time, this strong back was regarded by the people of the whole empire as the ultimate reliance that could be trusted, but with the development of the times, no one expected that this reliance would become a stumbling block affecting the safety of the entire continent.

"Do you want to convince me? or are you accusing me of my choices, my philosophy?" the old man turned slowly, the sun shining on his wrinkled and furrowed face, and it was none other than the Lost Sword Saint Ophoras.

"Teacher, the times are different, and your concept can no longer continue to protect this empire and this continent!" Sebastian said very solemnly. He knew this was his last chance to convince Ophoras.

"My philosophy?" Ophoras chuckled and asked, "What do you think my philosophy is?"

Sebastian took a deep breath, he knew that this was a test for Offiras, and he had to answer cautiously: "Do you think that the strong people of the Holy Domain are the source of chaos, if there is no strong person of the Holy Land, even if the war breaks out on the continent again, it will only be a problem of scabies, and you can raise your hand to calm it down." Therefore, after the Great War of All Races, in order to protect the empire established by the Terran Race and prevent the tragedy from repeating, you chose to strangle the threat in the cradle, so you forcibly suppressed the new powerhouses of the continent and prevented them from advancing to the Holy Domain. ”

"Yes, my idea was also recognized by several other strong people at the beginning, so over the years, they have never questioned me because of this, and let me do whatever I want. Ophelas replied proudly.

"Teacher, I don't believe that with your wisdom, you can't see that this is a thankless job, why don't several other strong people do it themselves, but want to push you out as a bird? Don't you know how many people are dissatisfied with you because of your strong suppression?" Sebastian asked incomprehensibly.

"Of course I do. "But I put forward this idea, and I don't feel comfortable handing it over to others, so I have the responsibility to implement it myself in order not to let others distort this concept in the process of implementation." ”

"Then you don't care about the resentment of those you suppress?" Sebastian bewildered.

"I'm a dignified Lost Sword Saint, the guardian of the Empire, and I don't need to think about other people's opinions at all for any decision I make, if anyone has any dissatisfaction, just come to me with a sword and talk!" Offiras replied domineeringly. The momentum on his body then skyrocketed, bursting out with palpitating coercion, and the sea of mist seemed to feel the pride in his chest, and began to roll violently.

“...... Teacher, your determination to protect your ideals is admirable, but this is not wise. Sebastian was silent for a long time, then said disapprovingly.

"One day they will understand my painstaking efforts, and as for those who are obsessed, they have already been solved by my own hands, and there is no need to worry about anything. I, Ophelas, have done my own thing all my life, and I have never cared about other people's opinions!" Ophelas's arrogant answer made Sebastian vaguely see the majesty of a generation of sword saints when the sword swept the continent.

"Teacher, maybe you were right in your insistence, but unfortunately the successor you chose is not a qualified guardian, just a qualified stand-in. Sebastian said regretfully.

"It seems that you already know about Sword guarding the continent in my place. Ophelas said unsurprisingly. He knew that with Sebastian's wisdom, it was almost impossible to hide this from him.

"You left all the affairs of the imperial capital to Sword, who appeared as you, and ran here to recuperate. If it weren't for Mingyue Fenghua taking the initiative to find the Lord this time, I'm afraid I still wouldn't be able to see your face. Sebastian's eyes flashed with anger, if Ophelas had been sitting in the imperial capital instead of hiding from the world, maybe the situation would not have been so bad.
