"Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven... Whew, the thirty-seventh wildling in town. With a flick of his wrist, Evan dragged the last of the fainting wildlings to the center of town.

In the center of the town were thirty-six bruised and swollen savages, some covered in scars, some resounding of burning, some swollen like pigs' heads, floating in the air, tied to stumps like balloons, fluttering in the air in the breeze.

The inhabitants of Suntown have regained their freedom and are working to rebuild their homes, thanking Evan – who is now the town's hero. The stove was rebuilt, the decent thatched hut was soon erected, and the adults began to clean up the house that had been "destroyed" by the wild men, and the children gathered around Aven, begging for him to tell them stories about the outside and how he did these amazing things.

"Eat more vegetables and keep a righteous heart. Evan gagged the children with these words, and then began to tell them stories about Noze, the Secret Forest, and the giants of Iron Rock City.

Time flies, and it's night in the blink of an eye. The old blacksmith Born sat down next to Evan with a jug of wine, ready to have a drink with him.

"I'm leaving town tomorrow to clear everyone of potential threats out there before heading out to the west of the continent. By "potential threat," Evan refers to a number of wildlings and robbers active in the villages around Suntown.

"Let's have a drink first, I've hidden this pot of wine, and those savages will smash things as soon as they drink. The old blacksmith handed over a cup.

"The wizard named Fordeman, I've prepared a boat for him to leave Tansfog forever, and as for these wildlings, they are already at my disposal, and I will pick the stupidest and least threatening ones to help you rebuild this Sun Town. Evan tried to take a few sips, and found that his alcohol volume had increased by several orders of magnitude. He couldn't help but think back to the day when he escaped from the gap in space created by Eurynoma, and Bub wrapped himself and landed on a mountain range below Thanatos, making a soul contract.

Since that day, Bubu has taught Even how to draw spells on several traps, which are the crystallization of Sophia's wisdom that has taken hundreds of years to achieve in countless battles. But now Evan has only mastered a small half, and the coordination with Bubu is not tacit, which will take a certain amount of time to run. As long as they can reach the realm of soul blending, they will be able to rely on Bubu to find Leah's location at that time. Because according to Bubu, the area covered by the search will reach the "black" rating of the bounty hunter, that is, it will radiate the entire continent of Tansfog. That means that as long as Leah and them are alive, they will definitely be found, unless they meet Eurynomus who has been deliberately cut off from her breath.

"It's not peaceful out there now, Aven, you kid is unbelievably stronger, but you'd better keep a low profile. The old blacksmith interrupted Aven's thoughts.

"It's a little cold outside, master, let's go back to the house. After speaking, a spell pattern of counter-attacking traps appeared in his mind, controlling the elements flowing in the air, and erecting a light blue energy array around the bound wildlings.

On the way back to the house, he couldn't help but think of the monster again, known as the Dragon Slayer Golem and the highest masterpiece of the Five Witches of Kuishan. No one knows better than him that this will be the source of disaster for Tansfog, and that war and death will make it even more powerful.

......

The dungeons in Silvershield City seem to be relatively mild. It's well-lit, guarded and frequented, and the vast underground space is filled with people who once had heads and faces, but who had committed unforgivable crimes. In the deepest part of the dungeon, Mirana took Leah to meet Arigon, who was being held captive.

This cell is unique, with some spell patterns carved into the rock to suppress magical power, which can be said to have been specially made for Arigon. Of course, the prison uniform he wears is also customized.

"Uncle Arigon. Leah called, and the latter slowly looked up.

"Why are you here, about a month ago, I sensed a huge energy fluctuation above the surface, could it be that a meteorite fell near Silver Shield City?"

"No, it's not the energy of the meteorite, it's the Guardian Lord defending against the black spear that is enough to destroy the entire Silver Shield City. Mirana replied.

"Black spear, wasn't the black spear recovered by you people in Silver Shield City?" Alex said in horror.

"It wasn't recovered by us at all, as early as the First Age's "Battle of the Black Swamp", Altinis's whereabouts were unknown after throwing the black spear, and we searched the whole area at the landing point and couldn't find it, but we claimed to have found it to the outside world, in order to appease the people, and this matter was only known to us Holy Envoys and some scholars. Mirana explained.

"How's that going?" asked Alex.

"A new page has been covered in the book of prophecy, and the Fourth Age has begun..."

"How did it come to this, impossible, impossible!What about my people, my people, what about my agreement with the three generations!" Alexon interrupted Mirana's conversation, his expression suddenly becoming agitated. He knew what it meant for the opening of the Fourth Age.

"That's why I brought Leah here, Lord Guardian had already identified her as the one who was summoned by the Holy Shield, that is, the candidate for the fourth Holy Shield, but unlike the previous generations, it continued and succeeded for three eras, and the Blue Silver Holy Shield, known as the strongest shield in the continent, died when it came into contact with the strongest spear, the black spear, which also played a very big role in hindering and limiting her ability improvement. Milana said and stroked Leah's hair, then sighed, "Leah is still very confused about herself, Arigon, I hope you can talk to her and let her understand her mission......"

“...... I actually know a little bit about your agreement with Hera. Mirana left the cell with a group of dungeon guards.

"Fourth-generation Guardian of the Holy Shield, it seems that Neriff is right..."Alex looked at Leah and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Leah, I am afraid that your mission is far beyond your imagination, you must improve yourself as soon as possible and find the Holy Shield in your heart." ”

"Can't I live the life I want to live like everyone else?" In this city, apart from Cledoranf, Leah can only trust the kind uncle in front of her. The sudden training and mission was difficult for her to accept.

"I know it's going to be very difficult for you to accept this reality, but you have to be strong and have a future for the people you care about, so that we can make better memories......" Alex held the fence and his eyes were like torches, "...... This era needs you, it needs you to maintain, it needs you to protect, you have to be strong, promise me, okay......"

Arigon's attitude was very sincere, and even continued with some pleading: "It is not taboo to say, I am an Iskar, I care about the safety of my people and the entire relic forest, we never easily break into the outside world, and we will never allow others to endanger the environment on which we live, but the evil on the continent has never stopped......"

“...... That man, yes, that man, all of this is a conspiracy and trap designed by his own hands, he instigated my people, launched the Battle of Iron Rock City, and then laid a demagogic spell on some of my people, in order to save them, I had to compromise with him, and helped him destroy the idol of Noze according to the agreement, and started another war......"

“...... But in fact, he had no intention of removing the curse from Iskar in the first place, and his greed never ended, wanting to enslave us forever, so I ended up desperate and had to secretly come to Silver Shield City, ask the Guardian, and make a pact with her. ”

"What agreement?" I didn't expect that Arigon, who was usually unsmiling, would be burdened with so many heavy responsibilities.

"I am the leader of Iskar, and the three generations have promised to remove the curse from us and find out who is behind it, and as a condition, we Iscal will accept the outside world and put it under the jurisdiction of Silver Shield City. ”
