When Evelyn woke up again the next morning, the sun was shining outside her window. With a heavy knock on the door, images of Iseka loomed in her memory.

Under the messy clothes, the dragon mark on the abdomen is very eye-catching. Evelyn tried to move, her limbs as if they had been tugged over, and every movement was accompanied by soreness. On the wrist, dark marks also confirm that everything in the memory did happen.

"Evelyn, are you up?"

The man outside the door was Tellamy.

"Yes...... Ahem, yes, wait a minute. ”

Evelyn noticed her slightly hoarse voice, and hurriedly cleared her throat in response to the person outside the door, and with the sound of distant footsteps outside the door, Terami should have gone downstairs and waited.

Evelyn stood up, and the moment she straightened up, a burst of heat erupted in her abdomen, causing her legs to go limp, and her knees to bend slightly.

"What's that like?" Evelyn leaned onto the bed, slowly leaning back to her feet. Because of the heat, even breathing became rapid, and my chest rose and fell in an unreasonable amplitude. She tried to wipe the mark off with her hands, but to no avail.

"This bastard...... What did you do to me?" Evelyn cursed in a low voice.

The Prophet's overwhelming strength left a heavy shadow on Evelyn's heart, and even though she had the strength to surpass the Guardians of the Silver Wing, she was still like a powerless child in front of the Prophet. She hurriedly straightened her clothes, took out her gloves and put them on to cover the black marks on her wrists, and then double-examined her body to make sure nothing was missed before leaving the room.

Seeing Evelyn coming downstairs, Tellami beckoned, "Morning, today is a rare day." ”

"Hmm...... You...... Did you sleep well last night?" Evelyn didn't bother to focus on anything else, still haunting what had happened before.

"Ah...... It's not bad, it was very quiet last night, maybe the blizzard stopped in the night. Tellami replied with a smile.

Evelyn nodded in a trance and replied, "Oh...... Okay, that's good. ”

"You...... How could you think of it......" Between the words, Terami seemed to avoid the gaze of the elf beside him, and his face seemed to be smiling.

"Let's go. Evelyn interrupted.

The other side.

The White Stone Hall of Atlantis.

A man in a black-on-bottom, red-trimmed robe reclined on a dragoon throne.

Regent Carl Chazelin. He stepped on the edge of the throne with one foot and rested his head comfortably on one hand. His face was obscured by a golden armor mask, and his slightly closed eyes were faintly visible through the hollow gaps.

"Lord Karl. The dragon knight Barnett bowed and continued, "The army has been deployed, from the town to the village, as long as the territory is populated, it has completed absolute control. As for that Frozen Lake Town...... At your request, all garrisons have been temporarily evacuated, and the people of Queen's City are expected to arrive today. ”

"Excuse me, my dragon knight general. Carl said slowly.

"Willing to play for the Alliance. ”

Barnett saluted again and stepped back slowly. In the process, he couldn't help but glance back at the man on the throne behind him, and at some point, he began to show people in a mask. But he didn't dare to think more, according to Carl's plan, within half a year, the common currency of the Eastern Continent has been completely abandoned within the territory of Atlantis City, which also means that the first phase of the "Dragoon Alliance" plan has been officially completed.

In the process, as Karl points out, there were many villages and towns that resisted, but as he commanded, Barnett completely wiped those places off the map by force.

The only thing that puzzled Barnett was that the army of Atlantis had been sent except for the escort, and there was only an army of less than 500 men stationed in the huge city of Atlantis. You must know that behind the royal city is the winter snow mountain, and the number of troops in the northern fortress that is not close will be only a thousand. At this turbulent juncture, although the Northern Fortress is unusually calm, the potential danger remains.

As soon as Barnett stepped out of the main entrance of the main hall, Diana's passing made him more worried—the female officer who had been stationed in the Northern Fortress all year round appeared here, could the Northland be so peaceful?

"Diana?" Barnett, who had always been outspoken and suspicious, casually stopped the woman.

Diana gave a military salute as usual, and replied, "General, what do you command?"

Barnett was stunned, realizing that the army exclusive to the regent was not under his jurisdiction, and suddenly felt like a fish in his throat, and disguised: "Oh...... Recent...... How's the Northern Fortress going?"

Diana smiled and said, "General Lao is worried, there is nothing abnormal. ”

"No?" Barnett asked again.

"Yes. Diana said calmly.

Since the Third Age, the Northland has never stopped in turmoil, and the Northern Fortress alone has been the scene of three major wars. A large part of the reason why Atlantis maintains an army of 10,000 people all year round is because of the existence of alien races in the Northlands, and this situation has been improved for the first time after the third expedition, that is, after Karl's personal conquest.

On that expedition, Cal was joined by another dragon knight, Zorn, and since then, Zorn has been in the Valley of Nightglow for many years, and has not set foot in Atlantis City for nearly a decade.

"If it's all right, I'll go first, and Master Karl summons me. Diana saw that Barnett was silent, and said. Before the venerable dragon knight could reply, Diana turned to leave.

Diana's arrogant attitude caused Barnett's deep displeasure, but he did not pursue it further, and no one in the regent's line could not help but give three points. As a dragon knight, he naturally can't be involved with an assassination force, and in Barnett's eyes, it is always an honor to fight with real swords and defeat opponents openly.

"Lord Karl. Diana saluted on one knee.

Seeing that Diana had arrived, Karl motioned for everyone to stay away, and only the two of them were left in the huge hall before he spoke, "I heard that the people of the Queen City are about to arrive. ”

"Yes. ”

"One of those two is Evelyn?"

"Yes. I've confirmed again that she's here. ”

Karl leaned deeper on the throne, as if thoughtful—it was just Diana's guess based on what she knew about Karl, after all, the face was covered by a mask, and she couldn't be sure what the man's expression was.

"She already knows about the remnants, huh?" Karl said again.

"Yes, as you commanded. It's just that...... Why did you reveal this to her?" asked Diana, looking down.

A gloomy laugh came from Karl's mouth, Diana didn't know why, but the regent couldn't stop laughing, which made her raise her head slightly to peek at one or two.

"You don't have to know. Karl's voice was unusually low, "Also, how did the task assigned to you go?"

"Yes, yes. As you know, the elven kingdoms and dwarven kingdoms that exist in name only do not respond to our requests, and in addition, the seven main cities of the Eastern Continent, General Zorn and the representatives of the queen city of Nightglow Valley have not yet arrived. Yesterday I conveyed your intentions to those people, and I have taken care of those who do not want to join the alliance. Diana said.

"Hehe, only a Coral City idiot would be stubborn enough to go against my will, right?" Karl chuckled, clearly confident in Atlantis' military power.

"Yes. I executed their supreme commander on the spot. Diana said.

"Good. When the people of the Queen City arrive, inform them that the official meeting will begin tomorrow. Tonight, I need to give Evelyn a little time...... She'll need it. Cal moved his neck slightly, adding, "If she can't find the dungeon, give her some hints." I was ...... to the look she had when she saw my masterpiece Looking forward to ......"

Diana nodded in response, and she spied on Carl again curiously, curious about what he was talking about.

"Lord Karl...... You...... What did you do to the elf?" asked Diana, trembling.

Karl's movements froze instantly, and although he didn't see his expression, his head was clearly turned to look directly at the woman in front of him. His voice became very cold, and he said word by word: "Don't talk too much about things that shouldn't be asked." ”

Diana hurriedly lowered her head again, waiting quietly for the Lord Regent to divert his attention. The many direct missions made it clear to her how violent the temper of the Digan was, and when Emilia was captured years ago, Carl had cut off the elf's hands and feet on the spot. You know, at that time, Emilia was still the commander of the Silver Wing.

Karl stood up and walked slowly down the steps. Diana's heart trembled with the sound of each step trampling the steps. It wasn't until Carl walked up to her that the man leaned over and half-crouched, and Diana could hear his breathing clearly.

"Baby, you're my bravest subordinate, do you believe me?" Karl's slightly hoarse voice clung to the ear of the woman who was lying on the ground.

"Yes! Yes," Diana said hurriedly.

She heard Carl's cold chuckle, accompanied by a "look up", and Carl's gold-armored hand was already holding her chin upwards slightly.

Diana didn't dare to resist, until her face was raised to the level of the man in front of her, and under the golden mask, a pair of bloodshot eyes could be seen, one red and one basket, exuding abyssal fear.

Looking directly at those eyes, even the killer who walked with the killing clearly felt a hellish chill, Diana looked at the man in front of her in a daze, she trembled slightly, she couldn't escape his eyes, and his voice seemed to be in her ears, as if lingering in her mind:

"Don't be afraid, as long as you are obedient, I will share this powerful power with you...... The changemakers have come, and the era of hypocrisy is coming to an end......"
