When I walked out of the ruins, it was dusk.

"Why don't you rush in now?"

"We didn't say no rushing in. ”

"I mean, why not now! not now! not right away!"

"Adair, calm down. Lucy is inside, do you think you can do better than Lucy?"

"I know she's in there, but aren't you, can't you all do better than Lucy combined?"

"Magic is not addition and subtraction, Adair. If you don't get the hang of it, no matter how many people get in, it's a result. We need a little time. ”

"But you've wasted days!"

"Yes, a few days, do we have to crack the technology that Krimatha has been working on for tens of thousands of years in a few days? We're just over a hundred lichs, and it's probably hundreds of thousands of humans who designed these things. Do you think it's feasible?"

"What should we do then?" shouted Adair, as he was about to blow up, "you are lichs, and you can't even solve the human stuff?" He ......"

Before he finished speaking, it had come to an abrupt end. Because Adair turned back. He saw Jones faintly peeking out of the pit of the ruins.

Yes, half. It's just dusk, not night. Adair was to wear the Silvermoon Armor, and Jones and Dora's Silvermoon Armor had been lost in the ruins.

The two men looked at each other, and the lichs in a circle were stunned.

"You...... Why did you come out?"

"Can't I come out?" Jones asked.

Nearby, Dora and Andrew also poked their heads out.

Well, and Lucy, who has become a spirit state: "Please help me find a new pair of bones, thank you." The old one is broken. This time, help me find a taller one, but the hand bones should not be too thick. I don't like thick hand bones. ”

"Okay......" William stepped back and walked away.

"And us. Help us bring two pairs of well-fitting Silver Moon Armor. We have to get out. Jones added.

"Do as you command, Lord of the Castle. The wood elf standing aside bowed gracefully, and then hurried away.

"Damn. Adair sat down and laughed slowly, "I thought something had happened to you." Scared the hell out of me. How did you get in so many times and come out?"

"Because something really happened. Jones said.

"What's wrong?" Artel quickly got up from the ground, then quickly stepped into the dark tunnel, and hugged Jones: "It's okay, it's okay." Really scared to death. If something happens to you, I don't even know what to do. ”

"What's the deal?" Jones lamented, "If something happens to me, you have to move on." Snake City is ten thousand times more important than Jones Delakella. ”

"Brother, I don't think so. Letting go of the hand that hugged Jones, Adair said seriously, "I don't think Snake City is as important as you. Really, without Mega Snake City, we can build another one. To lose you is to lose my dear brother. ”

"Aren't there Belle them?" Jones smiled helplessly.

"That's different. At least, not exactly. Adair spread his hands.

Soon, the Silver Moon Armor was delivered. Both Jones and Dora put on their armor and walked out of the tunnel.

However, the sun had already set, and there was only a little dim red on the horizon, which didn't seem to be much needed.

Along with Jones out of the tunnel were Lucy, Andrew, Turus, and, of course, Adair, who had just squeezed into the tunnel.

The eyes of all the lichs fell on the two unfamiliar faces of Andrew and Turu.

"Jones. The lich Erin asked softly, "These two are ......?"

Jones glanced back at the trembling Andrew, smiled and said, "Grab it." ”

All of a sudden, everyone present froze. Andrew and Turu's faces turned green.

"Arrest both of them. Jones repeated his words.

Suddenly, a large number of dwarves, elves, and bloodclans wearing silver moon armor rushed forward, crushing Andrew and Turu to the ground.

"You can't do this!You can't do this!Jones!We have an agreement! We have an agreement! You are breaking a promise!" Andrew, who was crushed to the ground, struggled desperately, shouting.

"No, I'm not breaking my promise. Instead, I faithfully fulfilled the promise. Half-crouching beside Andrew, who was crushed by the dead, Jones said with a blank face: "Have you forgotten? Now we have to move on to the second half of the agreement, which is not defined. Who exactly should the things brought out of the ruins of Klima belong to?"

A group of dwarves and elves, plus some bloods, maybe Andrew still has the ability to deal with it. But if there is still a group of lichs around him, and he dares to make a move, it is to seek death. Helpless, Andrew, who was sweating profusely, had no choice but to whisper: "Let it go...... Let me go, and I can be your right-hand man, really. I can help you research the secrets of Krimasha. You...... You're going to need someone like me. I know Krimasha very well and have been preparing for it for many years. ”

"I can't make you my right-hand man, never. Because I don't want a right-hand man who can betray me at any moment. Your spirit of contract still despises me. Andrew. Jones patted Andrew's muddy face lightly, and then slowly stood up: "I need you to help me study what Kerry Mathali brought out, but I'll lock you up directly." On the one hand, it is to allow you to concentrate on your research, and on the other hand, it is to make it impossible for you to continue trading with the Queen. At the same time, it is also to allow you to better fulfill another agreement. The first two agreements are for a limited time, and you will work hard to win back your freedom for yourself. In the latter, the agreement is indefinite. If you don't keep it a secret, even if he doesn't make a move on you, I'll do it for you. Do you agree?"

Who that "he" was, whether it was the Lich or Adair, was confused and couldn't figure out the situation. However, Andrew, who can make Jones, who frees slaves every day, angry and deprived of his freedom, will certainly not be a good person. Everyone was not interested in getting to know it, and they all quietly looked at Andrew who was crushed to the ground.

Andrew kept struggling: "No...... You can't do that, you can't. There's still room for cooperation, isn't there? Maybe we can do it another way and unify our interests. In that case, you won't have to fear my betrayal. ”

"I'm sorry, but I think it's in our mutual interest that the proposed approach to cooperation is the best. Also, I'm not asking for your opinion. Jones stood up and said casually, "Take it away." ”

"Yes!" a few dwarves carried Andrew and Turru on their shoulders.

"No! You can't do this! You can't do this! I'm a former member of the Knights of the Silver Moon, and your adoptive father, Gray, has already pardoned me! You can't do this to me!"

Obviously, no one listens to these words.

"Master Jones, he's too cunning, Dora go and arrange it lest he run away. With that, Dora hurriedly followed.

"What exactly did you encounter inside?" asked Adair in a whisper.

"Nothing, it's all gone. It was a great trip. Jones replied with a smile.

With that, Jones took one last look at the ruins and turned to leave.

Others followed.

......

The wind was blowing gently.

At sunset, the ancient woods sway gently in the wind.

The last rays of sunlight slowly faded from the horizon, and the endless night covered the land.

Nocturnal animals continue their lives quietly and silently. As if nothing had happened, nothing had happened.

The snow piled up on the needles slowly tilted and fell. Like a splash of water on a winter day.

At night, the snow and ice slowly melted, and the grass grew next to the cleared gap, gradually filling the gap again.

With the departure of Jones and his party, the land has once again returned to its former appearance. Continue to sleep, burying the secret of Krimasha from 10,000 years ago, waiting for the dawn to come.

Will the dawn come?

Maybe, maybe not, who knows?

But isn't that what life is all about?

Nothing is taken for granted, nothing is impossible, and nothing is predestined, everything is in flux.

In a world full of uncertainties, no matter who you are, you need to use your own hands to create your own path.

When it is a person who forges his own path, that person is the protagonist. And when it is a nation to forge its own path, this nation is also the protagonist.

We have no way of knowing whether they will succeed or not.

However, when countless people are all towards the same goal, one after the other, even at the expense of their own lives, they are destined to burst out with great power after all, and all living beings in this world will be blinded by it.

Krimatha, who disappeared 10,000 years ago, never fell.

......

Silver Moon five years.

It has been an ordinary year in the turbulent times. Compared with the first year of the silver moon, the second year of the silver month, the third year of the silver month, and the fourth year of the silver month, the fifth year of the silver month is often a year that historians inadvertently skip.

Why?

Because they only know that Jones Dedracula, the lord of Giant Snake City and the knight of Hydra, personally sent the blood elves, and they only know that the red ghast Angel Ann enrolled in the Blood Elf Magic Academy this year, but they don't know what happened in the underground ruins that no one knows about on the border of Gustav, and what kind of agreement there was.

As for Andrew Ann's entry into the Giant Serpent City, they don't even know.

In the second month of the fifth year of Silvermoon, after a week's stay, Jones Delacula, the lord of Megasnake City, led his delegation members out of Lorgosianny. Unlike when he came, when he left, the Blood Elf Queen personally saw him off and held a grand farewell event.

In the farewell crowd was also the figure of Angel Ann. He participated in the event as an apprentice in magic. There were so many magic apprentices who participated, and almost the entire Academy of Magic apprentices went. I mean, Angel Ann at this point is a backdrop.

Of course, he didn't mind. In fact, he's still struggling with how to juggle the magic academy with his parents. His teacher, the sorcerer Amos, offered Angel a modest part-time job as a deputy in his lab. The benefit is the freedom to use his laboratory. This can be regarded as a temporary solution to Angel's money problem. It makes him look like he's actually working.

Of course, it's only temporary, and no one can guarantee how long this secret will last, including the devil who follows Angel.

In April, the Blood Elves made a formal agreement with Mega Snake City to provide Mega Snake City with a huge amount of Mordo ore that they desperately needed.

In May, Erin, the Lich of Serpent City, announced that she had made great progress in the development of magic items. They have created magical items that allow ordinary humans to have the power of top human magicians, and in the future, they will develop more powerful and convenient magical items. Crucially, these magic items are still very cheap. It's cheap enough to make the already lame human magicians doubt their lives.

In August, on the Eloy Peninsula, Arthur, King of the Fides Kingdom, who supported the Holy See of the Holy Light of Bones, took the lead in using armed magical forces to encircle and suppress the rebel forces controlled by Hell in the realm, and won a decisive victory, killing the leader.

In the following September, October, and November, the core forces of the human forces that supported the White Bone Holy Light Holy See, including the Duchy of Beshir, the Kingdom of Isaac, the Kingdom of Allen, and the Duchy of Burt all showed their newly formed magic legions.

The power of human beings has been elevated in an epoch-making way. In addition to enabling the forces that supported the White Bone Holy Light Holy Light to get rid of the original extremely passive situation in the chaotic situation on the mainland, it also made the originally wavering lords begin to tend to support the White Bone Holy Light Holy See.

After all, what could be more reliable than power in one's own hands? The lords craved direct power, and as for heaven and hell, they were in a state of confusion.

In a way, Jones's approach gave them more headaches than Gray's.

Do they have the power to give their lords in exchange for their loyalty? Of course, but wouldn't that be a pre-Quaternary predicament? a route they had long abandoned.

It's not easy to get back on the path of being rejected by yourself, especially for the angels and demons, a race that has experienced all history firsthand.

In December, Jones convened an important meeting in the City of Mega Serpent. The participants were lords of nations. As Jones proposed, they would begin to build a new trade and political landscape, trying to create a new virtuous circle and forge a new kind of alliance.

At the same time, with Jones's support, the Giant Snake City School of Magic was officially established, recruiting students from the entire continent.

Former Secretary General of the Lich Council and current member of the Council of the Holy See of the White Light, Ekleon the Lich became the first head of the Academy of Magic. Not...... Probably the only dean. Anyway, as long as he doesn't retire voluntarily, the dean will always be him.

At Jones's request, he gave eighty percent of the quota to humans who barely studied magic, and divided the quota among the nations. After being isolated for 10,000 years, humanity has finally stepped into the temple of magic again.

In fact, this point even caused strong opposition from the residents of Giant Snake City, after all, there are almost no humans among the residents of Giant Snake City. And Jones was reluctant to explain anything. Of course, Jones has enough prestige that he can quell such small questions of public opinion, even if he doesn't explain anything.

At this point, Giant Snake City, or the Lord of Giant Snake City, Jones Deracula, the Hydra Knight, has established himself on the entire Celtes continent.
