Gaiden: The False Future I

Divine mercy is a continental magic system that Meng Dun has conceived for a long, long time, and the first divine mercy, and now the full-time mage lord, are all stories in the background.

The full-time mage lord may be the last book in this series, and Meng Dun's original plan was to be a trilogy, but the reality of the miserable results made Meng Dun have to temporarily give up the idea of a trilogy, but the story conceived during the university still wants to present it to everyone, as an extra, as a parallel world story that undertakes the two books of the full-time mage lord and divine mercy, yes, there is a story about the Holy See.

β€”β€”

β€”β€”

The Anaheim Mountains are surrounded by thick clouds all year round, and no one can see the scenery from the top of the mountain, nor know which god is enshrined on the top of the mountain, only that it is the place of hope for all life on the continent......

The bright sun shines through the thick clouds on the earth, and the mood of the people is as enthusiastic as this sunshine, and the long-term haze seems to have never appeared, and happy expressions can be seen everywhere, because, having won the war, they have finally escaped the suffering of war. Carrying gifts for the God of Hope, they flocked to the temple beneath Mount Anaheim to offer their truest blessings, chanting in unison, "Long live Anaheim, long live the God of Hope!"

Yes, this is Anaheim, the highest region on the continent of Divine Mercy, and once the highest faith of humans, elves, and Rentdammers on the continent......

......

"Captain, it's really lively today, the temple is even more splendid!"

A young man in yellow-green armor looked at the crowd and said excitedly and expectantly.

It's the gateway to the Anaheim Mountains, Axis Pass, right next to the Temple of Hope.

The believers who came here kept walking through here, and above this was a forbidden area, and only those who had been summoned by the God Emperor could go up.

The young man in armor was part of the defenders, and the army that guarded such a key position was undoubtedly the elite of the temple, the Order of the Holy See.

The Anaheim Mountains they were guarding were a huge residential complex, home to most of the temples and the homes of the chief priests.

Once, once, once upon a time, this was the political center of the continent, with the only imperial city in the entire Divine Mercy Continent, even the kings and princes of the entire continent had to come here on time to listen to the teachings of God.

The Imperial City was under the Temple, and the Catholics and Locals were under the Imperial City, and Mount Anaheim formed three distinct staircases, and the Papal Knights were stationed at the Axis Pass between the Imperial City and the Temple.

After all, there is a boundary between God and man......

......

"It's time to celebrate today!"

The captain suddenly burst into words, and turned to stare at the Temple of Hope, his face grim.

"If his army hadn't been broken up and reorganized, how could he have come to such an important knightly order. ”

The young man muttered unhappily, it was obvious that he was not convinced by the captain who suddenly appeared, if it wasn't for the death of the former captain in the war, which turn would get him!

Just as he was thinking about it, someone slapped him the shoulder, so scared that he almost fell, and when he looked back, it was a knight who was also a newcomer, and now the vice-captain.

He didn't expect to be heard just now, and asked in a panic, "What are you doing?"

"This is a temple powerhouse, and it is strength rather than luck that can get here," the man said in a deep voice, with a serious expression, "Remember, in this meritocracy of Anaheim, only strength can prove everything, and this is the current time of crisis!"

The young man nodded, and said a soft "um", as unhappy as he was in his voice.

The vice-captain frowned, sighed, and secretly said in his heart, Thiago, Thiago, is it worth it to pick up a life in a deathmatch. Losing a comrade-in-arms and carrying a burden that you can't let go of for the rest of your life, that's not all, suspicion is the most terrible, enough to drive an upright person crazy.

And now, the great exploits are covered up, the suspicious eyes are everywhere, and even the unknown young knight next to him can casually question, is the battle of Anaheim a gain or a loss?

The Battle of Anaheim, the Battle of the Miracle of God Bless Anaheim.

The Papal Knights of Anaheim defeated the Alliance's 300,000 enemy forces with 50,000 men, and damaged more than half of the enemy army at the cost of 10,000......

It's a pity that this miraculous achievement is only known to the people at the top of the temple except for those who witnessed it, and no one can say the reason for keeping it secret.

Thiago, the third squad leader of the Holy See Knights, can only be regarded as a squad leader to be exact.

Because the Holy See Knights are not a real army at all, they do not belong to the Anaheim Army, with a total of less than 10,000 people, and as for the 50,000 mentioned, they are actually friendly troops, and because they are commanded by the head of the Holy See Knights, they are regarded as the Holy See Knights.

As for the commander of the Anaheim Warband, the officers who escaped from the battle were still often seen during the war, not to mention that they were ordered to return to the imperial capital. After the end of the war, the remaining thousands of men were reorganized into different units, and the original troop of the Papal Order disappeared.

Thus, Thiago, a man with bronzed skin and a resolute expression, entered the new Order of the Holy See as a squad leader.

Now Thiago stared quietly at the top of the mountain in the distance, the previous conversation couldn't hide from him who had the power of the Sky Knight, and the similar experience made him know what the vice-captain was trying to say, but he didn't mind, because the vice-captain was not the original team of the Holy See Knights after all, and he didn't understand the agreement between them, so he just muttered "She, is it okay......"

At the top of the mountain, a palace decorated with a large number of soul crystals was reflecting a brilliant golden light.

The golden light, which symbolizes the supreme power of the continent such as divine power, shines on everything, and it is the light of the sun.

He drove the golden chariot through the sky, overlooking the beautiful palace below.

This massive body is made of golden soul crystals, and the windows are cleverly placed on all sides, made of openwork silver crystal.

From the gate, walk through the order from east to west, and you will find that the patterns on the windows depict the first generation of God Emperors-

The story of the posthumous god emperor of Shuin Neumann and his establishment of his rule.

The front of the palace faces east, and there are seven gates, and the gates are dozens of meters high with tedious carvings, and there are faint scars in the middle and lower parts. Thirty-six giant pillars are distributed all around, holding up the roof steadily, and there are eighteen prisms on each giant column, the top of the column is decorated with sun patterns, and the bottom of the column is decorated with moon patterns.

Xiu settled the golden cart in mid-air, jumped down, and landed steadily in front of the main entrance of the Temple of Hope. The temple guard in front of the door was startled by the man who had fallen from the sky.

The guard fixed his gaze on a tall and burly man, with short blond hair shining with the sun's rays, a wide forehead, a high nose, and brown eyes that seemed to glow with a faint golden light. The golden-red robe is embroidered with dazzling sun patterns.

The guards recognized the Fire Soul in front of them, the messenger representing the last will of the First God Emperor Shuin Neumann on the Continent of Divine Mercy.

Soul Person, the power of soul energy on the Divine Mercy Continent, and as the honorific title of the First God Emperor's cultivation envoy, several soul people also symbolize the strong in a certain attribute.

It replaced Gaia, the god of the earth, Athena, the goddess of war, Victor, the god of light, and Hess, the god of judgment, who were believed in by the people on the continent before.

The Soul Man is not a true God, the Soul Man is not eternal, and the person who has the power to replace the Soul One existsβ€”the God Emperor, the God of Hope, of Anaheim.

And the current God Emperor is the Third God Emperor Rodel, a man who sent his father, the Second God Emperor, to hell and replaced him directly as the Third God Emperor......

......

The guards knew about the Fire Soul and hurriedly bowed and invited him into the temple.

Xiu nodded with a sunny smile in return, and after just a few steps, he stepped back and said, "You guys are very fresh." ”

"We're new here. The non-commissioned officer at the head replied.

"What about the previous ones?" asked Xiu.

"Mostly sacrificed. The palace guard replied.

"Really?" Xiu frowned, "What, even the temple garrison is on the battlefield in the border war, and the war hasn't threatened the temple yet, right?"

"The temple garrison has only been guarding the temple recently, and it turns out that they are only guarding the imperial capital below. The non-commissioned officer replied

"What about the original?"

"It was sent by His Excellency the Wind Soul, it seems to be the Order of the Holy See. ”

"It's the Order of the Holy See again. Xiu said softly.

"Is there something wrong?" asked the sergeant.

"Nothing. Xiu said and entered the main hall.

There is no need for any lighting, the hall is extremely bright, and the crystal roof reflects the sunlight and flashes brilliant light patterns.

Xiu didn't appreciate the beautiful light streaks, and looked around, as if he was looking for something. Walking through groups of chatting people with crystal cups, he found his purpose.

A large man leaned against an inconspicuous corner. I saw that his black hair and black eyes, his expressionless face revealed tenacity, fortitude, and his beard made him look tired and disappointed, and the well-fitting leather armor could not hide his well-developed muscles. With a glass of red wine in his right hand, he drank it casually, his eyes passing through the dancers whirling around the dance floor, locking on Xiu who was walking towards him.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for so many days, brother, you are still so depressed. Xiu was used to joking, and greeted the big man casually.

"Hmph!" the big man ignored the cultivation and lowered his head and took a sip of wine.

"Don't be so ruthless, if you win a big battle, you should laugh anyway. "I've long been accustomed to the indifference of the big man, and Xiu can't give up.

I didn't see Dahan's increasingly gloomy face, Xiu still looked casual, and suddenly he pinched Dahan's cheeks with both hands, and pulled out an ugly smile with force, regardless of Dahan's desire to kill, nodded with satisfaction, "This is like my good brother." You love to laugh when you are young, the bigger and gloomy it is, what's the matter, the soul of the earth should be enough, and the soul of punishment has changed?"

The big man, no, it should be Sam, the soul of the earth, shook his body in displeasure, got rid of his brother's shackles, drank the wine in his hand, handed it to the nearby maid, glared fiercely at this cheerful, playful, and half-brother who grew up together, and replied helplessly, "The battle is over." ”

"Please, I've talked so much, you just give me such a sentence!" Seeing Sam turn his head again and unwilling to deal with himself, Xiu hurriedly changed his words, "Yes, yes, this fight is very good, so that the war between gods and demons, which has to be fought for several years every time, will end in a few months, as the commander-in-chief of the front, you have made a lot of contributions, and you will definitely be rewarded." ”

"A lot of people died. Sam said in a lukewarm tone.

"There is no immortal in war. Xiu had an expression that didn't care about himself.

"There are a lot of them that don't damn them. Sam was irritated by Xiu's nonchalant, grabbed Xiu's collar, and roared, "It's ....... above."

Xiu Gu didn't struggle, and quickly covered Sam's mouth, interrupting him, "Anaheim, right?"

Sam's eyes widened suddenly, and he glared at Xiu in disbelief and said, "You know! Then you still don't care so much, you still ......"

After a while, he put down the repair, trimmed his clothes, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and said, "I have heard that 50,000 men have been abandoned from above, and they have bought time to retreat to the fortress of sighs." These 50,000 people are pitiful, betrayed by their own empire. But isn't it okay, it only takes 10,000 people to destroy the enemy's main force, which directly prompts us to achieve the final victory, that commander must be a genius, even the Wind Soul is probably not comparable to him, although he disobeys the order, he will definitely be rewarded heavily, he ......"

Seeing his brother's face getting darker and darker, Xiu asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, did I say something wrong?"

"You're right," Sam looked away from his brother as if to discover something, but found nothing, so he withdrew his gaze and continued, "Do you know who the conductor is?"

"I guess it's the right-hand man of the Wind Soul Domon. Xiu said uncertainly.

"No, it's a little sister. Sam calmly dropped a bombshell and sneered at the reaction of the person in front of him.

"Are you kidding?!" Xiu finally put away his trademark smile and became serious.

"What do you say?"

A solemn bell rang in the temple, and the attendants quickly retreated, and the people in the temple hurriedly gathered their expressions, sorted out their clothes, and waited in line, as if some important person was about to appear.

In the solemn bell, a golden light flashed, and a crystal platform appeared directly west of the main hall.

On the stage, a man dressed in black sat on the throne, with no trace of emotion in his pure black eyes, and his seemingly casual movements carried the spirit of being proud of the world, needless to say, it was the God Emperor - the third God Emperor Rodel. He ignored the salute and shook the hand of a sexy and bewitching woman beside him as if soothingly.

The woman sitting beside the God Emperor was dressed in a floor-striking long skirt that made her skin as beautiful and dignified as a pearl and jade, her delicate face with a smile made people feel like a spring breeze, her waist-length hair was casual but not messy, and her gold and silver hair ornaments shimmered like stars.

It is not difficult to guess from the intimate actions of the God Emperor that she is the Queen of God - Lilith. She looked around the hall, as if greeting everyone, and as if she was looking for something, and the anxiety hidden in her sweet smile deepened.

"See the God Emperor!" the crowd shouted.

"No courtesy. The Third God Emperor Rodell lightly returned the salute, restrained all his casualness, and stood up.

"I am a wise god, and under the command of my god, I have achieved an effective victory in just a few months!"

I don't know who took the lead, and for a while, "The God Emperor is wise!"

"The Divine Emperor's martial arts are unparalleled in the world!"

......

And so on and so forth, flattery poured in.

The Third God Emperor Roder listened to this praise quietly, and Lilith's brow furrowed involuntarily.

The third god emperor Rodel waved his hand, and the noise disappeared immediately, he slowly scanned the entire hall, his eyes paused in a corner intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhengse said-

"Today, we are here to celebrate victory," his voice was loud but clear to everyone, "in this war, Anaheim will finally unite and fight the enemy together......

The God Emperor's words were not finished, and there was a "click".

It's the sound of crystal cups dropping.

Lilith's heart tightened suddenly, and her worried look was completely exposed, and she turned to the corner where the voice came from, the corner where the Third God Emperor Roddell had stopped for a while.

"Who!" the guards rushed in.

"Hmph, what an Anaheim unity!"

Qingli's voice was as pleasant as a silver bell, and her cold tone made people creepy. The owner of the voice, a petite figure, appeared in front of the people.

Lilith couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up to say something, but was stopped by the third god, Emperor Rodel. He took Lilith's hand, met her night-deep eyes, and whispered, "Trust me. ”

Lilith looked back at the seemingly emotionless eyes of the Third God Emperor Rodel, sat back on the throne with a complicated expression, and silently watched him swing back the soldier and face the person in the corner.

In the silent hall, the footsteps of uninvited guests are particularly clear.

He, no, it was her, from the voice, slowly walked towards the center of the hall. The sun shone down on her, and she could be seen wearing a unique suit of armor without any insignia - the normal Anaheim system was armor green, and her body was dark red, a red after blood had congealed.

She didn't wear a helmet, her tan hair was messily draped over her shoulders, I don't know if it was because of her clothes, her face was a little unusually red, and her weak body seemed to be weak, but her steps were extremely firm.

She walked to the center of the hall and stood still in the unique posture of a knight, staring at the Third God Emperor Roder with her eyes that resembled the Third God Emperor Rod. What kind of eyes are that, there is deep pain, anger, a faint confusion, a deep despair, and a deep hatred!

The strong hatred made the third god Emperor Roder move his body weakly, avoiding the sharp gaze, cleared his throat, covered up his embarrassment, and said, "Salis, it is very rude to interrupt others, as a princess, you should pay attention to etiquette. ”

Saris, the youngest daughter of the Third God Emperor Rodl - Saris Rodl.

"Unreasonable?"

Sarice scanned everyone's expressions, some were confused, some were suddenly enlightened, some were slightly angry, some were purely watching the excitement, and the silence of the hall had long been replaced by whispering.

Grim smiled contemptuously and continued, "Is it ceremonial to take innocent lives at will?"

"Presumptuous!"

The Third God Emperor Luo Der obviously didn't expect that his youngest daughter, who was usually the most well-behaved and considerate, would actually confront him in public, and he didn't react for a while, and Jia Long, the Water Soul who was standing at the forefront of the team, scolded.

Jialong, the Water Soul Bearer, one of the last two younger brothers of the God Emperor, has aqua blue hair as his biggest signature.

At this time, he walked out of the queue, came to Sharis, and said loudly, "Sharis, what are you talking about, if it weren't for the wisdom and greatness of the God Emperor and his strategizing, how could our army win the war in such a short time and at such a small cost. ”

"Wise and great, strategizing?" said Sarali, gritting her teeth, "a victory built on the corpses of countless innocents, a victory soaked in the blood of innocents." A ......"

"It is impossible to live without death in war, and for warriors, dying on the battlefield is the best way to realize their value, and the horse leather shroud is the highest honor for warriors. Garon interrupted Saris.

"They are innocent, as long as the command is right, the casualties can be reduced to even less, they should not be sent to death without knowing anything, this command is wrong, this is just a fluke victory, this ......"

"This is indeed not a complete victory, according to the original plan, let 50,000 people drag the enemy's main force on the front line, and the rest of the troops will go around the enemy's rear from the Fortress of Sighs, on the one hand, form a flanking attack to destroy the main force, on the other hand, open the road to smash the Yellow Dragon, and attack the enemy's hinterland, I believe that the glory of Anaheim will shine on the entire Divine Mercy Continent again!"

"And now, a permanent barrier has been laid on the main road between Anaheim and the outside world," and before the words fell, the hall seemed to explode, after all, this was the first time since the end of the war that the battle of Anaheim had been discussed.

Ignoring the noisy chatter, Jia Long continued, "Although the main force of the enemy was eliminated with minimal casualties, it also blocked the main path of our army's attack on the alliance, so that Hades had a chance to breathe, and they will definitely make a comeback, and at that time, I am afraid that the losses will not be made up by a few Holy See Knights, is it, the captain of the Holy See Knights?"

It seems that someone has recited the silence magic, and the envoys are suddenly silenced, and the people who don't know the inside story look at Sharisy with an incredible expression, and the expression of the knowing is that it is in great trouble.

"I, I ......" Sarice couldn't find any words to refute.

"Then again, the permanent enchantment array, this is the most difficult magic that represents the forbidden spell of the dark attribute space-time system, there shouldn't be many people in the temple," Jia Long saw Salith's uneasiness, although she was a junior, she was a courtier when she entered the court, and she would not let her go because of her young age.

He circled around Salith, and every word went straight to her heart.

"To lay such a large enchantment at one time, there must be hundreds of people who have at least the power of a magister or more to cast spells at the same time, then a solid enchantment with life as the medium requires the lives of hundreds of high-level mages, although I admire that you can find so many mages in such a short period of time and make them willing to sacrifice their lives, but they are all rare talents, if they follow the original plan, they can make greater contributions in more places and save more people. And now, it has been wasted so casually by you, who doesn't cherish life?"

"Well, that, that, no, no, no, no, no......"

Somehow, Shalith couldn't organize a word of protest, let alone reveal the truth as she had hoped, and her already red face became even redder.

Jia Long looked at Shalith's embarrassed appearance with satisfaction, and said in a very low voice that could be heard by the whole audience, and said in Shalis's ear, "Ah yes, I almost forgot, you seem to have come back safely, so many people have died, and you with the strongest magic have returned, could it be that you used your power to order others to die, but you escaped from the battle?"

"No, no, no, no, I don't, I don't. Salith could only repeat this weak rebuttal.

"Oh?" Jia Long's expression remained unchanged, but there was a shallow smile in his eyes.

"I'm hurt. Shalith argued.

"Oh?" said Jialong's smile widened, "Hurt? How do I know you didn't kill yourself to save your life and escaped in the name of being injured." ”

"I'm not ......," Sharisy shook her head in pain.

Without giving her a chance to defend herself, Jia Long said sharply, "Resist the order, flee from the battle, Saris Rodel, the leader of the Holy See Knight team, what do you say you should be guilty of!"

"No, no, it's not like that......"

"Someone, hand over this big-talking deserter to the arbitration tribunal!"

The guards who had just retreated rushed into the main hall again, and they who knew the identity of Shalith looked at the God Emperor and the Water Soul at a loss, not knowing what to do, and Shalith still just shook her head vigorously.

"What are you doing in a daze!"

"Who let you in!"

The exact opposite orders of the God Emperor and the Water Soul were issued at the same time, and the guards hurriedly stepped aside when they saw the God Emperor speak, waiting to see what happened.

"God Emperor, the courtiers are not wrong, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and Princess Sharisy Rodell deserves to be taken to the arbitration tribunal for trial!"

The Third God Emperor Rodell was silent.
