The Kingdom of Shuen Zhelai is a coastal state located on the southeastern side of the Far South continent.

Unlike the landlocked Scarlet, the kingdom of Shuen Jelai had an unusually rich coastline, so it was also a country that started out as a fisherman.

The country's coat of arms is a ferocious finless shark, and the name of the country itself means white sail.

After a year, Nancy has returned to the royal city of her country.

The atmosphere in the royal city was as solemn as Nancy had expected, and Nancy walked through the streets of the royal city and scanned around.

She was slightly relieved that she hadn't seen the banners of the Far Southern Empire or the Duchy of Leslota around the royal city.

This shows that in the course of the year... The Far Southern Empire did not occupy her country.

Nancy followed the route she remembered and returned to the court, and after identifying herself, the soldiers escorted her into the king's palace.

In the main hall, Nancy finally met her father, Maurice III, the current ruler of the kingdom of Shuen Zhelai.

"Nancy! Blessed by the gods, you're really back safely! ”

When Maurice III saw his daughter appear safe and sound, he was so excited that he stepped forward and gently hugged his daughter.

Unlike Scarlet, the king of the kingdom of Seun Zhelai was an infatuated man who had only married one queen in his lifetime, the mother of Nancy and her other three older brothers.

It's a pity that the queen died after giving birth to Nancy, so Nancy has been Maurice III since birth... Or the pearl of the entire kingdom of Xiuen Zhelai.

If it weren't for the tight fronts at the time of the war with the Far South Empire a year earlier, Maurice III would not have sent this daughter to Scarré as an envoy.

When the Scarley Bloodcrystal Plague broke out, Maurice III sent troops from the front line to Scarley several times to find Nancy's traces, but unfortunately the Bloodcrystal Plague turned Scalley into a dangerous hunting ground, where the Bloodcrystal Beasts were hunters and humans were the prey.

"Father, what about the alliance between the Far Southern Empire and the Duchy of Leslota?"

Nancy didn't have time to reminisce about the situation at the front, remembering that when she left a year ago, the coastal cities of the kingdom of Shuenzhelai had been attacked by a fleet from the Far South.

"They retired half a year ago." Maurice III gave a development that Nancy did not expect: "The Duchy of Leslotta is no match for us without the help of the Far South, so we repelled their army. ”

"That Far South withdraws? Why? ”

Nancy didn't show any joy, if she remembered correctly, the battle situation at the front was that the coalition forces in the Far South had an absolute advantage, and they should have won the war but chose to withdraw their troops?

"Bloodcrystal." Morris uttered a word in a deep voice that frightened him for almost a year, "The wanton aggression of the Far Southern Empire has finally been punished by the gods, and according to the information gathered by our spies, the southern wilderness of the Far Southern Empire began to wreak havoc on the Blood Crystal Beast half a year ago. ”

"Those monsters again?"

Nancy's body tensed up when she heard the word, and she had also been a victim of the Bloodcrystal Beast during her year in Scarley.

The soldiers who had followed her to Scarley a year earlier had all died tragically at the hands of the Bloodcrystal, but only Nancy and the old butler survived with a little luck and identity.

The years in Scalley seemed like a nightmare to Nancy, but the end of the nightmare gave her a nice dream.

"What is the current state of the Far Southern Empire?" Nancy immediately asked about her father.

She is very entangled now, if the Far Southern Empire has been under the Blood Crystal Beast disaster, then the Xiuen Zhelai Kingdom will be able to get rid of the shadow of war, but the Blood Crystal Beasts have devoured the Far Southern Empire... Then the country will not face the shadow of 'war'.

The entire Far South Continent will become a hell on earth, and the soldiers of the Far South can at least talk, but those Blood Crystal Beasts are monsters that feed on humans.

"The information that the spies recently told me is that they have established a defensive line in the Southern Wilderness and are still fighting the Blood Crystal." Maurice III said.

"Did you stick to it?" Nancy breathed a sigh of relief again when she heard this.

"Nancy, you should not have sympathy for your enemies, God has a reason to send this punishment down on them." Maurice III seized the opportunity to educate his daughter.

"Blood Crystal Beast is not a punishment from a god at all! They are pure scourges! ”

Nancy retorted to her father, who seemed to her to be good at everything, but too much to believe in gods and luck and the like.

As a result, there are at least five religions from all over the world in the kingdom of Shuen, and thankfully, each of these religions is in a state of open and secret fighting, so the power in this country is not as great as that of those mono-religious countries.

"I know that Scarley's Blood Crystal Beast Plague has left a very deep shadow on you, but you must have been a god if you survived..."

"Father! I have one thing to tell you. ”

Nancy interrupted Maurice III, and she walked briskly towards the palace hall.

"What's the matter? Word of Scarley's disappearance? Maybe they survived God's test..."

Maurice III had only recently learned that Scarley's Blood Crystal was extinct, and he was about to send his men to find Nancy, when Nancy himself returned.

So Maurice III thinks today is definitely a day to celebrate!

"It's not like the Blood Crystal Beast is gone! They are exterminated! ”

Nancy's hands rested on a long table in the center of the palace, on which lay a huge map of the Far South continent, on which Scarley's borders were pitifully small, almost one-fifth of what they had been a year earlier.

"Elimination? No way! ”

Before Maurice III could speak, a knight in the palace shouted in surprise.

Nancy glanced at the knight, if she remembered correctly, it should be Canther, the first knight of Scarley, why this prince Canther appeared here, Nancy was in no mood to guess.

"Can a father get everyone to leave? I have something to discuss with you. ”

Nancy put the backpack she was carrying behind her on the table, and the old butler who followed Nancy into the hall also put his huge backpack on the table at Nancy's signal.

"Stand down, everybody, and Mr. Canthe, please calm down."

Maurice III heeded Nancy's advice, and he really needed to ask his daughter what had happened to Scarley that year.

Kanther wanted to ask something, but the soldiers around him stopped him, and after making a gesture to leave, he clenched his fists and had no choice but to leave the hall with the other ministers.

"Nancy, you said that the Blood Crystal Beast was destroyed... What's going on? After confirming that everyone had left the hall, Maurice III asked his daughter, "Scarley's Blood Crystal Beast plague is so serious that unless the gods themselves intervene... No one will be able to stop it at all. ”

"What if God really intervened to stop it?" Nancy recalls seeing the fires and explosions in the royal city of Scarre that night, and if she had been a loyal believer, she would probably have thought it was a power that only a god could do.

"You saw the deity of the gods?" When Maurice III heard this answer, he immediately asked with some excitement: "Which god saved you?" The god of fire, or the god of thunder? Or is it the god of souls? Did that God give you any gifts? ”

"Gifts? Indeed there is. "In Nancy's eyes, the concept of God is 'omniscient, omnipotent', 'absolutely invincible'.

Those people fit this trait well, and they were able to seal the influence of humanity on a piece of paper, and with just two lenses, they could lift the curse on their eyes.

But Nancy understands that they are human beings like herself, not gods... They did it all on their own!

"Father, if there is an opportunity now that you can touch the papal texts that only gods can do, would you be willing to try it?" Nancy asked.

"Papal texts? Which religion? "Maurice III believes in quite a few gods, he basically believes in any god, and he is quite religious.

"In the seventh part of the book of the God of Souls, the Elegy for Life, God heals the wounds of those who have broken their arms and connects them with their broken arms." Nancy recounts the stories she read to herself as a child: "In the third stanza of the sixth chapter of the Forge's book, Burning Steel, the Forged God's life-giving steel, it was turned into a great ship and galloped across the sea, and the flames roaring from its mouth burned its enemies. ”

"You... Have you been blessed by so many gods? "Maurice III clearly misunderstood what Nancy meant.

"The people I met weren't gods, but they had many legendary or godlike abilities." Nancy whispered.
