It is now the seventy-first year of the Holy Calendar, and ten years have passed since the last war between orcs and humans, and the Cretan Empire has fallen apart, and the Cretan Kingdom, known as the Bronze Dynasty, has collapsed once as a powerful dynasty that has been inherited for nearly two hundred years, causing the re-division of the entire Zhongzhou, and the huge land is in the ownerless zone.

Eight years after the Holy Maiden returned to the kingdom of God, Pope Hodep, who had no talent, but who had grown the Church of Light to the most powerful point in a thousand or hundreds of years, also responded to God's call and left the world.

The powerful King of the Golden Rose, the king died in battle on the Sumeron Plain of the Cretan Empire, the kingdom of Mara has only one young queen, the headquarters itself is full of contradictions, and other countries are even more unable to send troops to Zhongzhou.

The great nobles of the entire Zhongzhou have become self-reliant and completely entered the era of chaos, and for hundreds of years, because of the slave trade, exile, and gradually multiply in Zhongzhou, the orc clan has also established its own power here, plus some orc tribes who have migrated here from the opportunity on the Red River Plain, the entire Zhongzhou has become a mixed zone of humans, orcs, and half-orcs.

Under the frequent wars, there are also various atmospheres different from the human country and the orc country, a large number of orc caravans and human caravans trade here, and the entire Zhongzhou has become a buffer zone between humans and orcs, and the boundary between humans and orcs has become blurred here.

Here, you can see orcs and humans living together, half-orcs doing business on the human streets, human nobles hiring orcs as guards, and orc tribes hiring human scholars as staff, which has never been seen before.

And the Orc Holy Seville Empire, just like the contract signed with humans ten years ago, has never invaded the human realm again, and peace has descended on the earth.

In Sakya City, the capital of the Holy Sevier Empire, inside the royal palace, Verdanti wore a wide blue burqa, and the crown tied her golden hair, and outside the wide palace, there were a large number of guards standing on top of each other, and inside the hall were many Sun Church priests wearing sacrificial robes.

Within several layers of curtains, a woman who was extremely weak was already dying, this was a werewolf woman, with burgundy hair and red wolf ears, about forty or fifty years old, it was the original werewolf princess April, and Verdanti's still youthful face was different, her face and eyebrows had begun to wrinkle, but it could still be seen that she was once a beauty who was also a country and city.

For a woman, especially a beautiful woman, old age and decay are the most terrifying things in the world, especially when she sees herself aging a little bit, but the face of the person she loves has never changed in the slightest, which is simply the biggest punishment for her.

Especially when she gave birth to Del Medi, although there was no problem with the witchcraft of the pigman wizard Uruk, this kind of witchcraft that violated the rules still caused damage to her body, so that her physical lifespan was greatly attenuated, and Uruk also told her about this problem, but she still insisted.

This kind of problem that hurts the origin, even the healing techniques of the church and ordinary wizards cannot be treated, and the conventional methods do not work, and Aprile has been hiding this problem, until now, it is too late and irreparable, and Aprili refuses to plead with those wizards against her faith.

Verdanti lay on the edge of the bed, holding April's hand, her thin shoulders were constantly shaking, looking helpless and sad, but Aprili was very calm, as if she had let go of everything.

"Alright, Verdanti, don't be sad, it's good, isn't it? I'm in my fifties, and ordinary people shouldn't be at my age, entering aging and slowly stepping into death! ”

April touched Verdante's face, as if trying to see her beautiful face, her fingers brushed over her golden and somewhat dazzling hair, a pair of lion-like flashing pupils, which were constantly shrinking at the moment, looked at her stunned, and suddenly smiled.

"Everyone will come to the end of their lives, I am afraid of getting old, beautiful people, should die while beauty is still alive, I am happy, Verdanti!"

Verdante finally couldn't help it, and couldn't hold back her tears: "April, thank you!" ”

"Thank you for supporting me all these years, thank you for everything you have done for me, thank you, thank you very much!"

Verdan grabbed April's hand, and Aprile propped herself up, pressed against Verdanti's face, and kissed Verdanti's lips, just like when Verdanti stubbornly brought her back to the kingdom of Enguido on the Amos Ice Field, she also kissed Verdanti like this.

Everything is like a cycle that begins and ends here.

"Thank you too, thank the gods, I am in love with a son of God!"

With that, as if she had lost all her strength, April let go of her clenched hand and fell on the pillow.

Verdante's head was pressed against the bed, the crown on her head fell, her silky blonde hair spread out, and her face, which had been stubborn and majestic, suddenly became soft and weak.

At this time, the priests of the Church of the Sun, who were waiting outside, rang the bell that represented the journey to heaven, chanted the eulogy from the Sun Bible, prayed that April's soul would ascend to heaven, and a large number of knights who guarded the place knelt on one knee together.

At this time, there was a commotion in the corridor outside, and the sound of hurried footsteps rushed to the door from that instant, and pushed the door of the room open, but what I saw was this scene.

Dressed in armor and holding a helmet, Del Medi had just returned from the border, but he didn't expect to see this scene, and in an instant the helmet fell to the ground, and his blonde hair was the same as that of Vildanti, but it was longer and his face was more like that of his mother.

At this moment, Del Medi fell to his knees all of a sudden, grabbing his hair in pain: "Why don't you wait for me to come back, why don't you wait for me to come back!" ”

Del Medi was in a state of remorse, pain and bewilderment, but suddenly he raised his head and looked at Verdanti: "Why, why didn't you save her!" ”

Verdanti said angrily: "This is your mother's choice, and what do I use to save her, this is the fate of mortals, everyone's fate, you and me, and everyone, even the Holy Maiden and the Pope of the Church of Light cannot escape the rules." ”

Del Medidi's excited and beautiful face turned red: "But you are the lion king Will, you are the son of the gods, how can there be anything you can't do, how can there be your ......"

Verdanti said weakly, "I can't do it, and this is her request!" ”

Del Medi wiped the tears from his face, watched Virdanti take out the long sword at his waist and point it at Verdanti, and immediately saw a large number of guards surrounding him, Virdanti stretched out his hand to stop them, and looked at Del Medi quietly.

"Lion King Will, I hate you!"

The longing and resentment of Virdanti from childhood exploded at this moment, and Del Medi slammed the door away.
