【Chapter 7】Above the Undercurrent, Section 1

In the end, what happened to the Temple of Glory did not continue to be hidden. The black walls of the Northland fell silent in the Queen's City. Maritia's timely appearance banished Della's remnant, which only stopped the fear from spreading, but the darkness of that moment of dying was engraved on the hearts of everyone in the square.

In this trial, although almost all the Ultimate Mentors were dispatched, and even Maritia was involved in the rescue, more than 300 people still died in the Jedi Illusion. Claude and others, who followed Maritia through the portal back to Queen City, were also the last survivors.

There are many people who strayed into the Northlands through the Jedi Illusion starting point, but those people died without exception, and the heavy snow of the Northlands could easily hide the traces of their existence in a matter of moments. Among them, it also includes a character like Luo Nai, the ultimate mentor.

The bodies of Lornay and O'Grey were brought out of the snow by Maritia, and Claude and the others who followed behind them had sad faces. Terami and the others have all returned to the square, and they have each rescued more than a dozen people. They were tired, serious, and unwilling to be overlooked.

Ice Blue lowers her arm and stops casting. After Maritia entered the Northlands, Jedi Mirage regained control. Ice Blue dispersed the crystal ball for viewing when the Black Wall appeared, and in fact, when Saqqara appeared, she wanted to do so, but Diana stopped her.

The loss of control of the Northlands surprised the envoy from Atlantis, which took place in a more remote wasteland than the Northern Fortress, and to this day, Diana has not figured out the source of the many attacks on the Northern Fortress.

The crowd of onlookers could no longer get excited, and the crowd watched in silence as Maritia moved.

Maritia beckoned to Terami and the others.

"Didn't find any more candidates?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, my Queen. I didn't expect this to happen......" Terami lowered his head to look at the ground, and the body that lay on the ground belonged to Lonai made him avoid his gaze again.

"No one expects bad luck to come, but we have to face it. Maritia reached out and touched the chin of the man in front of her, lifting it slightly, "Please don't bow your head, there are more things that we are not allowed to bow our heads." There is no doubt that the sleeping darkness has begun to awaken, and the Eastern Continent must unite once again. ”

Terami looked into Marittia's eyes, and from those eyes he could clearly see Dela's spirit, the boundless black walls.

"The World-Destroying Demon...... Can't you really wipe her out completely?" Terami still had a glimmer of hope.

But Maritia's silence announced the worst outcome, and the sunny city of the Queen seemed to be covered in dark clouds. That's the demon who nearly destroyed the world in the last era, and who can count on to keep her out of this era, an adversary that even Maretia can't destroy. At that moment, all good things were instantly desolate.

Maritia raised her right arm and opened her right hand to the sky. A huge transparent ball of light volleyed into the air, and in this sphere, the evil of the Northland was unobstructed.

The crowd erupted in panic, the toddlers stopped laughing, the gamblers had no time to care about the gold coins in their hands, and even the dwarves, who were only concerned with wealth and craftsmanship, stopped their work.

"All the inhabitants of the Queen's City, please be quiet. Maritia walked slowly to the middle of the square, "What I'm going to announce now is not only about the heirs of this generation, but also about the Temple of Glory, the entire Queen City, and even the entire Eastern Continent. I'd love to hide it from you, and if I can buy more time, then I'll do what I said. It's just a pity that I can't. I am not strong enough to do all of this on my own, so I must tell you that I must tell you everything I know. ”

"Your Majesty!" said Xiu Bodu, who thought it was not a good time.

With a wave of her hand, Maritia motioned for Xiubodu to remain quiet, and continued, "I wanted to cover up this matter, but there was an opponent that even the Glory Temple could not contend with. But I can't. Our young test takers have fought valiantly against evil, and many have even paid with their lives. I must report their bravery to you in its entirety...... I hope that the soul of the hero will live forever, and the deceased will rest in peace. ”

The voices of crying came one after another from the lonely and silent crowd, and it was the families of the deceased. They look forward to it, but reality is always colder than desire.

Maritia raised her hand again, and the white petals fell from the sky, like snow falling from the clear sky, colorful but desolate.

"The radiance of the goddess Jana will light your way home, rest in peace. ”

Maritia closed her eyes slightly, clasped her hands into fists in front of her chest, and prayed for the blessings of the innocent creatures who had unfortunately died.

One, two...... More and more people followed Maritia in prayer, and the flying white petals slowly fell to the ground until it covered the ground with a thick layer of snow.

Evelyn put her arm around Claude's shoulders and gently stroked his head with her right hand, allowing him to lean quietly into her arms.

Her eyes were like water, and the spired tower in front of her was like the spire of the king of Atlantis, which reminded Evelyn of Angelina's being tied to the cross, and the internal friction in the palace was nothing more than the loosening of the entire Eastern Continent Alliance.

Evelyn shook her head slightly, and she hugged Claude tighter, as if she was about to lose the boy in her arms if she relaxed a little.

The so-called destined fate of the king is to think about the sake of all living beings?

Evelyn thought to herself.

She didn't dare to think narrowly that what Maritia was saying at this moment was just for her, just to reiterate how important Claude's identity was to the Primordial Realm. But the myriad tear-stained sad faces were so shocking at the moment, that Evelyn had admitted from the bottom of her heart that fragile life always needed a strong support, and the whole world was so big.

"Evelyn, join the Sanctuary of Glory! Queen City needs you, and everyone here needs you. ”

Standing in front of Evelyn was Xiu Bodu. The Lonellan man had a sincere gaze and a sincere tone.

The people around the square were still praying, but the man couldn't bear it, and immediately wanted to get a positive answer, and he was as eager as he could. They didn't even know each other, Evelyn only knew that the man was prominent, nothing more.

Claude couldn't help but look up at the elf behind him, the handsome face, the pair of red pupils trembling slightly, glowing with complex light.

"I ...... I'm just a Ranger......" Evelyn chose to avoid the pleading gaze.

"But you're also a Demon Swordsman!" Maritia smiled, "let go of being a Wanderer and become a Demon Swordsman again." With the temple of glory as a harbor, you understand what it means. She motioned for the elven messenger beside her to fetch a white outfit, which belonged to the ultimate master of the Glory Temple.

Evelyn was a little surprised, as Maritia said, if she became the ultimate teacher, she would be able to protect Claude at all times, and the Temple of Glory and the Queen City would become a more powerful haven, which was far from her ability to compare. But at the same time, she also has the same concerns as always, King Eklin's only son will be the sweets and sweets of the entire Eastern Continent, and the purpose of the Queen City may not be simple.

The idea was quickly dismissed by Evelyn herself. Perhaps Nightglow Valley and Carl will continue to play the role of Little Eklin, but the Temple of Glory, which has witnessed the events of Dela, and the Queen City, which hosts many races, cannot turn a blind eye to this. Here, the desire for power is always so nihilistic. Wonder what a stupid decision they must have been.

"But I'm ......" Evelyn thought for a long time, and finally shook her head with a wry smile, although the identity of the blood elf was not known to everyone, it was a "stain" that she did not want to mention.

"You know my situation, Mistress Maridia. Evelyn said calmly.

"My Queen, this is ......" Terami watched for a long time, wondering how much Maritia and Xiubodu were looking forward to the red-haired elf's joining. At this juncture, Maritia personally invited a "stranger" to become the ultimate mentor, and was also called the "magic swordsman", which shows that the elf is extraordinary.

"One of the founders of the Silver Wing, the former queen of Atlantis' bodyguard. Diana paced and said slowly.

"She's ..... Silverwing Guard?" Terami sighed.

Not only Tellamy, but even Evelyn was shocked by Diana's actions.

Silver Wing Guard, this title is not unresounding in the Eastern Continent. It was the highest combat power under the so-called Dragon Knight, and this beautiful red-haired elf was actually the founder of that combat force.

Evelyn turned her gaze to the smiling woman standing on the side, she didn't understand why Diana had moved. Ten years ago, Evelyn was wanted throughout Atlantis, and as the head of the Night Grave Organization, Diana should not want to get rid of her all the time. But things are always unexpected, and the seemingly ill-intentioned spooky character doesn't reveal these unknown pasts in public.

"Don't thank me, Atlantis City is the gateway of the Winter Snow Mountains to the major cities of the Eastern Continent. If the demon who wielded the terrifying power to destroy the world was truly resurrected, without the help of Queen City, even Atlantis, with its dragon knights, would be difficult to contend with. Diana straightened her leather cuffs as if nothing had happened, and her plump lips did not utter harsh words.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just announcing the decisions that the City of Kings should make on behalf of Atlantis City. Diana added, "I mean, it's fitting that a magic swordsman with the strength of a Silver Wing Guardian would be the ultimate mentor. You don't want to go back anyway, do you?"

"So, what is your decision?" said Xiu Bodu again.

In a few words, adoration appeared on the faces of Claude and Lucian, who had never known that Evelyn, who was usually taciturn, was like this. Excited, Claude clasped Evelyn's arm tightly and said, "Agree, agree!"

Evelyn finally nodded, and Claude excitedly took the costume belonging to the ultimate master of the Glory Temple from the elven messenger. The soft white robe was held in his hand, the only reason he could put his sorrow aside for now.

"From now on, then, you are the ultimate mentor of the Holy Eagle Academy. Tellami clenched his right hand into a fist on his left chest, a smile on his grim face.

Maritia nodded to Evelyn with a smile on her face, then faced the crowd again.

"Ladies of the Queen City, no matter what evil forces await us in the road ahead, the Temple of Glory will always be a barrier for everyone. Allow me to introduce you to the new ultimate mentor, Evelyn Starlight. She will inherit the will of Luo Nai, and go hand in hand with the Glory Temple, the Queen City, and the Eastern Continent!"

The crowd noticed the sword-wielding elf, and many of them had tears on their faces and were shocked, but Evelyn could clearly see the light of hope rising above those faces.

The Temple of Glory is the spiritual pillar of the inhabitants of the Queen City, and she is among them at this moment. It's not a day to celebrate, but it's the most appropriate.

Evelyn nodded to the crowd, her gaze finally resting on the boy beside her.

"Claude ......," she said softly.

"Huh?"

The boy looked up at the elf who called his name, apparently still reveling in the surprise of surprise. Evelyn shook her head slightly with a smile, stroked his hair, and said, "It's nothing." May the light be eternal......"

"Anjimi Lablish, Dianon. ”

Claude held the soft white clothes, and his smile bloomed like the morning sun.
