"Long gone, Honorable Ferryman, may the aurora of the eternal night bless you forever. ”

The moonlit bighorn reindeer greeted his ally with a slight forehead, his gaze shifted to the Grand Knight of Virtue, and the phantom of the exquisite shining armor loomed, never breaking through the boundaries to condense the entity.

Originally, he planned to give him a blessing to help him ascend, but with his own efforts to achieve a breakthrough in the cycle of the source of virtue, even as an immortal who was with nature, he looked at Aldrich Triss with approval.

"Chosen Ones of Holiday Island, welcome you to the secret place of the lake, where all your questions are answered. ”

"The ontology with the prophetic priesthood foresaw the Force storm that shook the order of the divine power in the long river of fate, and opened a dream bridge between the real and the unreal, connecting the real world in the Whispering Forest. ”

"The friendship of the Brown Bear family is the key and the credential of Friends of Nature, allowing you to enter the holiday island at the right time to wake us up from our slumber. ”

"It's a pity that of the four immortals who swore at the beginning, only me and the ferryman still exist, and the other two have been exhausted and fallen into eternal silence and cannot be recovered. ”

"Festive celebrations and fairy tales are my source, nightmares and mischiefs are the ferryman's roots, and there are two trees, two worlds, which one do you want to inherit in order to achieve balance?"

Pumpkin Jack, who had been silent, changed into a dark evening dress: "Respected His Royal Highness the Reindeer King, he is just a mortal, I am afraid that he cannot shoulder the burden of the world, even if it is an extremely small plane, it is a fragment of the kingdom of God." ”

"Just a manager, you should be able to bear it. Dear Ferryman, do not despise this young Chosen One, even in the past era, it is extremely rare for a great knight of virtue to live twice as wonderful a life in a short period of time. ”

Pumpkin Jack in Evening Dress had long known Aldrich Triss's potential, and when he first met in Oaktown, he was a shallow down-and-out knight who could be seen through at a glance, and at best had a good salary and a well-paid public office.

Now, even from the perspective of an immortal, you can see that Aldrich Tris has an astonishing concentration of aura that is closely related to the realm of order such as justice and goodness, not only through the real world and the secret realm in the forest, but also radiating in all directions.

"Paine's labyrinth tree, the son of the forest of love and romance, is good at the rhythm of nature, in this age when marriage is contaminated with too much money and too much exchange of interests, the melodious sounds of heaven are resounded by the machine, and the roar of thunder is out of tune, even if you are a great knight of virtue, you can't bear it, or choose the guardian of the grotesque festival. ”

The Reindeer King pondered for a moment and nodded softly in acquiescence, "At a time when people's hearts are driven by money and greed, and the traditions of the past are gradually forgotten, there is still a young man who adheres to the knightly virtues of the idyllic era, sticks to his inner rules and good knowledge and is promoted to the rank of Grand Knight, due to the rarity, it is indeed a bit incredible. ”

The horns of his roots slowly faded, decomposing into thousands of tiny points of light like fireflies, which gradually coalesced into a fist-sized silver moon.

"The rules of the real world are changing all the time, and it's hard to seize the fleeting opportunity to grasp the laws related to order and become a legend, but in the secret realm, you can get our permission to touch it slightly. ”

Aldrich Triss stood up and silently accepted the silver moon of the Reindeer King, and the looming shadow of the Eight Virtues instantly condensed into a physical entity, starting with the heroic banner of the Golden Fleece, the Argonauts, and the eight-piece suit covering the whole body turned from a shining silver white to a dazzling golden yellow.

"I saw the strings of the law woven by the warp and weft, the invisible driving force that keeps everything running, and the truth of nature...... Hmm!"

In a brief moment, the reindeer king opened a window into his mind, and Aldrich was able to get a glimpse of all the rules of the secret realm in the forest and the central holiday island, and the Grotesque Festival was indeed the perfect world for him.

The Grand Knight of Virtue turned and walked into the tree, which was only a few dead branches, and the tree was covered with green leaves, like a perch for breeding a Chimera, and a faint vibration was heard.

The Reindeer King and Pumpkin Jack looked at each other and smiled, "Everything is three! After turbulent years, the basic balance has finally been reached, and the four festival worlds have begun to merge." ”

"The Chosen One has your grace and has a Heroic Pact in My World, and now he has mastered and managed the Grotesque Festival in our expectations, and the benefits have been taken by him. ”

The Reindeer King paused slightly, calming the shaking of the holiday island: "There is nothing you and I can do about this, he is the key person, and it is beyond my expectation that he can obtain the thunder hammer of the enemy of the giants." Perhaps Aldrich Tris has received the attention of the other immortals, and in just a few months away from the continent of West, in the wasteland of frost and fire, the shadow of the Odin god system may be favored by the father of all beings who is accustomed to keeping a back hand on the High Throne. ”

Pumpkin Jack is silent, both demigods and the limits of what the real world can accommodate, and the once high immortal may fall into eternal sleep and not be able to recover.

The shaking of the cypress and the dead tree gradually became uncontrollable, and the reindeer king and pumpkin jack had to return to their respective worlds to stabilize the situation.

As the four worlds tend to merge, the withered tree in the East, with its cracked bark, gradually comes to life, and it seems that the green leaves of the grotesque tree have been transferred to its neighbors.

Constantly merging, communicating, renewing, and breeding, the two immortal demigods silently maintain the laws of the holiday island, waiting for the great knight of virtue in the rudiments of the condensation realm, the administrator of the grotesque festival, to appear.

Aldrich Triss did not disappoint them, and after a wonderful experience in the world of the Reindeer King and Pumpkin Jack, the key thread now became the key to merge everything and quickly emerge from the three trees.

For the first time, the hexagonal gate of the cypress tree was pushed open, revealing a celebratory knight wearing a hooded red cloak and carrying a bag on his shoulder, with a joyful smile on his face, a condensed doppelganger of the reindeer king's earthly agent.

The Blighted Tree walked directly out of the Death Knight holding a jack-o-lantern, busy with the undead version of the Industrial Revolution, trying to combine supernatural power with military manufacturing, and was forcibly summoned with a blank face.

The Grotesque Tree walked out of the clown costume, but wore a crown on his head, holding the scepter and the code of virtue in his body, and the clothes and accessories seemed to be inadvertently overturned by the dye plate, and as a result of the indiscriminate smearing, the symbol of the crown, the scepter, the code and the black knight appeared on the Virtue Knight, which was particularly absurd and full of laughter.

The two immortal demigods reappeared, bowing slightly to Aldrich Tris, and the reindeer king asked, "Please choose the basic attributes of the grotesque world." ”

The well-prepared manager immediately responded: "Connected by dreams, it is a grand playground that can be entered by every ordinary person who wants to temporarily get rid of the boring and boring life and relax physically and mentally." Humor and burlesque will guide everyone and lead them to create small joys in their daily lives. ”

"In the real world, I would indirectly exert my influence to make the festival popular in the city-states of the Western and Turkish Customs Union, in the name of stimulating consumption and invigorating commercial trade, which should not be a problem. ”

A series of brand-new terms blurted out along with the words of the Virtue Knight, but fortunately, the two immortal demigods possessed wisdom unimaginable to mortals, and it took a moment of thought to understand the meaning of these new words.

Pumpkin Jack grinned, "I knew he could do it, but I didn't expect it to be so good, and it took ten years of accumulation to sign a contract for this." ”

The reindeer king paused heavily, and the core of the island rose with golden antlers, a seat entwined with withered vines, a chessboard-like barrier of black steel and white iron, and an empty emerald jade seat.

"After all the worlds are merged, they will be handed over to you to manage, after all, you have enough qualifications now. ”

After saying goodbye, the king of the reindeer quietly dispersed, turning into countless moonlight and cypresses, and the snow on the top of the tree did not disperse after repeated vibrations.

"That's because he once had the winter priesthood, and he didn't expect to give up so easily before the turmoil came, but he won the opportunity to recover. Thanks to His guidance, I was able to escape the catastrophe of the collapse of the divine order and recover again in the unrecognizable present. ”

Aldrich Triss bowed slightly, watching Pumpkin Jack, the former ferryman, disappear and slowly take his seat.

The rudimentary realm condensed by touching the law gradually spread around his body, re-erecting order for obscurantism, gradually clarifying the confusion of the human heart, slowly precipitating impurities, removing the rotten foci, and appearing in his right hand as the lock of the oath.

"The hand of justice?"

With the strength of a human legend who was now only one step away from a demigod, Aldrich immediately understood that the realm of order had touched Tyr, who had once stood at the pinnacle of great divine power, thanks to the relationship between the eight virtues.

The silver healing hand of the thumb, the witness of the oath of the index finger, and the eternal punishment of the middle finger are very different from the theocratic weapons of the legendary god of justice.

"Maybe it's just a prototype, and it's not completely perfect. It's a pity that it can only be manifested in the secret realm, and it is impossible to bring it to the real world. ”

Thinking of this, Aldrich Triss stretched out his hands to the thunderhammer at the top of the cypress tree, and after a long silence he responded, buzzing and flying without wings, falling into the hands of the Virtue Knight.

The voice of the Reindeer King resounded over the hammer, "Whoever possesses the Eight Virtues can wield the Thunder Hammer, and you are his heir and owner." ”

Everything that is familiar has changed, the only thing that remains unchanged is Aldrich Triss's heart, even in the past years of depression, after entering the city, he has gradually consolidated his foundation from the bottom to the top, and there is no lack of blood and killing, which has not made him fade and change, and slide into the abyss.

When the morning sun had just risen from the distant eastern sky, and the bright spring light shone through the window on Aldrich's face, he quietly woke up from his dream, sat up slowly, felt that something was wrong with his right hand, looked down to check, and found the familiar short-handled hammer lying quietly on the bed, and Tris couldn't help but smile.
