The time is unknown

In the middle of the ocean, there is an island that is not even marked on the most precise map of the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe island is only a few hundred square kilometers in circumference.

The highest point of the island is a cliff. From there you can see the whole island in its entirety. At this time, a woman who looked to be about thirty years old was standing on the cliff. She has long blond hair in a shawl, wears a pale blue dress, and is barefoot. There was no expression on the woman's face, and she seemed to be waiting for something to be ruffled by the strong sea breeze.

In this way, the woman stood there from the moment the sun rose in the early morning, until the afternoon.

A spatial rift suddenly appeared in the sky 200 meters in front of the woman, and the rift gradually turned into a hollow. Through the hollow, you can see the purple starry sky.

A small yellow ball of light slowly flew out of the hole and flew straight towards the woman. In an instant, the void vanished as if it had never existed. It seems that this small ball of light was specially delivered.

The woman stretched out her hands, and the small ball of light slowly landed in her palm. She covered the small ball of light with both hands and pressed it to her chest, tears welling up in her eyes.

The woman's lips trembled slightly, "Eπξчл."

The woman continued to hold the small ball of light and slowly walked down the cliff step by step, through a forest. In front of her are small tombstones. But if you look at it from the air, the woman is still in a forest.

She slowly walked to a tombstone that had been prepared, and slowly sent a small ball of light into the tombstone. Subsequently, she used a carving knife to engrave on the tombstone: Suanna.

After the carving, the woman raised her head and looked at the hundreds of small tombstones, and once again she couldn't stop crying......

Emperor Edward Fire (1492 in the continental calendar) Capricorn 6th

My fleet has been at sea for 5 whole months, and now there are only 3 of the 7 ships left at the time of departure.

I misrepresented my current cruising distance. For five months, I told the sailors that we had sailed only a little more than 1,000 kilometers from the coastline. In fact, we are more than 3,000 nautical miles off the coastline. If only they knew that rebellion was inevitable.

On this endless sea, there is not even a single seabird to be seen except water and water. The only thing that can keep me is that the fortune teller on board has been telling me for the past few days that there will be a surprise soon. She's been with me for 4 years and hasn't had a single hit

The crew was also exhausted, some were already despairing, and the atmosphere was rapidly becoming too great. I'm afraid that when I wake up tomorrow, I'll be left alone in the fleet.

Edward III Emperor Dark Emperor Karma 7th

This morning it was reported that there was one less ship in the fleet. It is also an important supply ship for storing grain and winter supplies. After hearing the bad news, two crew members have committed suicide in their own rooms.

According to the second officer's inference, according to the current situation, our grain can only last for four days at most. I had to order a curtailment of food rations again. Now even I'm starting to despair.

But at noon, the watchtower reported the good news that land had been spotted on the starboard side. This is the best news I've heard in five months. Thanks to the soothsayer, for the prophecy. Lady Luck is still there for us and praises her.

That evening, we had a small banquet.

Edward III Dark Emperor Capricorn 9th

After two days of sailing, we finally reached this land that had never been recorded on the charts. Not only does this place have plants and animals that we have never seen before, abundant water and food, but it is also full of dangers. But we all have to try to survive, to return to our homeland, and to put this land on the map of the country.

Well, the sailors have made a new discovery. Now every new discovery brings us great excitement.

The above is an excerpt from the last days of the "Voyage Diary of the Grand Duke of Duolun - The Discovery of the New World" of the Kingdom of Jiameng.

One night five years later, there was not a single star in the dark night sky, only a blood-red first quarter moon hanging in the sky, giving the earth a strange red glow.

A dilapidated manor 20 miles north of the capital city of the Kingdom of Jiameng welcomed groups of special guests. They arrived one after another, and there were no insignia on the carriages, and even the servants were specially cleaned of the carriages on the road.

The manor's remaining attendants guided the guests to the basement. The dimly lit basement was filthy, smelling of mildew, waterlogged floors, and collapsing walls. Rats and cockroaches are everywhere. And the entire basement looks like it's going to collapse at any moment. But the men didn't care, and were led by the acolytes with torches to the room at the end of the corridor.

In the middle of the room was a small round table with a divination crystal ball on it. On the ground around the table, a pale golden magic array could be faintly seen. But the soothsayer sitting behind the table was not human, but a woman with a pair of crooked goat horns on her head, a pair of bat-like black wings behind her back, and feet like goat's hooves. Only a few people know that this is a succubus---- a creature from the abyss.

When the last participant arrived, the attendant closed the door.

"Your Majesty, you can begin. ”

Then, the pale golden magic array on the ground began to light up, and the entire soundproof barrier spread throughout the room, preventing any information from leaking out.

Five years ago, when the Grand Duke of Doren discovered the New World, the court soothsayer Kena, the succubus lady, told King Edward of Gaemon that the gate of doom was about to open and that the whole world would be destroyed in ten to thirty years.

The succubus's magical prophecy helped Edward survive several annihilations from a weak frontier principality to a powerful power that could compete with the three empires of today. Therefore, he was convinced of this prophecy.

Edward also asked for the method of solving it many times, but Kena told him that the Red Moon Day would be the best time for divination in five years. And today is the Red Moon Day.

Those who came were cronies of the royal family, people who held the lifeblood of the country: the Grand Duke of Toron, his nephew Philus, the regent Pulido, the Supreme Marshal Barado, the archbishop Samir, the first prime minister, Fernandus, and the chief alchemist Mattok.

The crystal ball gradually bloomed with dazzling light, and the twenty eyes, risking blindness, stared at the light emitted by the crystal ball without blinking. In the light, a piece of parchment with handwriting gradually appeared, which was clearly a loan contract. The borrower is Ulys, the amount of the loan is 1,000 gold coins, and the creditor is Philus.

Everyone present turned their heads to look at Philus, the nephew of the Grand Duke of Toron, who was also a lord, administering a territory of more than 1,000 square kilometers to the east of the capital, including Toronton, an important port of the Kingdom of Jiamon, which was only a three-hour drive from the capital.

At this time, Phyllus looked at a daze, you all look at me, and I look at who to go. What's more, the payment time is still two months later.

Everyone also noticed this, and did not continue to investigate.

"Master, this is ......," Edward asked.

"I can only see one breakthrough point now. As he spoke, the succubus bit his finger and smeared his own blood on the crystal ball. The crystal ball shines brightly again. In the light, a huge golden eye suddenly appeared, and the erect pupils stared at everyone tightly.

The succubus immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground. The crystal ball, which lost control of its owner, exploded with a "snap", splashing debris all over the ground, and even stabbed the left shoulder of First Prime Minister Fernand. But it took a few minutes for the golden eyes to slowly disappear.

The chief alchemist, Mattok, immediately poured expensive healing potions on the succubus, and Samir also wanted to go up to heal him, but the light healing technique would only have the opposite effect on the abyssal creatures. None of the people present knew how to heal the water system.

It took a long time for Kena to come to her senses.

"Sorry, ahem...... , Your Majesty, I failed. ”

"It's okay, take care of yourself. Hurt the soul again this time?" "If the advanced divination technique fails, the caster will be severely repulsed by the soul. Especially the blood sacrifice level forbidden technique that uses his own blood.

"A small injury, for us abyssal creatures, this small soul injury is nothing. ”

Edward was silent, the last time the soul was slightly injured, the succubus had been cultivating for two years, during which the death row prisoners in the kingdom were used to repair her soul, and even privately purchased the souls of many poor people who were about to die of illness. It was also a loss that her soul was strong, and she was replaced by an ordinary soothsayer, and her soul dissipated in the morning.

Moving on to get back to business.

"Phyrus, looks like you know that Ulys? ”

"Back to Your Majesty. This man is an ore supplier in the town of Loyan, and an old friend. The ore he supplies is of very high quality and the price is very good. Since the abandonment of Luoyan Town, his family has disbanded, and they are the only ones who remain in the town. Five years ago, his wife disappeared after giving birth to his second daughter. His whereabouts are unknown. ”

"Has he been spending a lot of money lately?"

"I heard that his second son and daughter suddenly disappeared a few months ago. They were all dying when they were found. The second son was quickly rescued and is now able to move normally. But the young girl's life was not in danger, but she was in a coma all the time. As a father, he sought medical treatment all over the country. And his family has plummeted since the dissolution of the family, almost making ends meet. ”

"Your Majesty, this information is enough to show that there is a good chance that Ullis will borrow money from Lord Philus in two months. "It was the regent Prido.

Everyone present agreed with him.

"Do you want to stop this deal?"

"Against. Succubus and Philus said almost at the same time.

"Your Majesty, it is uncertain whether this contract is the cause of this catastrophe or the hope of stopping it. But my gut tells me it's hope. Kena didn't wait for Edward to ask before giving her reasons.

Edward glanced at Phyllus, "Has that guy named Ullis helped you many times?

"Yes, Your Majesty. Philus bowed his head and said,

Edward walked up and down the room, "Go down the road." By the way, clean up here and don't let people see it. ”

"Yes. ”

That night, the manor was on fire, and the next day the entire manor was reduced to ruins.
