The sunset hung obliquely, the remnants of the clouds hung high, and the blood-red sun reflected the crescent moon quietly emerging in the distance as ominous, and the originally verdant grassland was forced to put on a blood-colored coat. The flickering flames danced with the breeze, enchanting and gorgeous, and the smoke seemed to be attached to the land here, unwilling to dissipate for a long time.

Broken armor, broken weapons, broken banners, corpses in the wilderness, and the city in the distance, standing above the vast grassland, lonely and eerie. It's a city at war, and whether it's first sight or not, Moon can easily come to that conclusion.

Habitually, Moon's gaze followed the prairie to the great city. At the same time as the gates were wide open, silence was the only thing Moon felt at this time. It was as if the war had drained the city of all its life force, plunging it into an unsettling silence. Even though I knew it wasn't, the suffocating stillness couldn't be erased from my mind.

At the city gate, a high platform that protrudes from the surrounding female wall, a man stands still, his hands behind his back, his long hair fluttering in the breeze. Moon had thought for a time that the man was the embodiment of the city, standing proudly in the dead silence of all things, looking down on the world.

Following the man's gaze, there was a dazzling figure standing in the blood-colored grassland in the distance, even though Moon couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but the long hair on the back of his head and the giant sword that went deep into the earth still implanted the sassy and upright impression in Moon Moon's mind.

"!@#!¥......%¥......" The woman's voice was slightly neutral, and although Moon had memorized her pronunciation perfectly, he didn't understand what she was talking about. Judging by the tone and expression, it feels like saying good morning. Yes, Moon couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but he could feel, feel the woman's expression.

"!@#!@#¥¥@......&%......" Similarly, the man's words Moon couldn't understand, and his low, slightly magnetic voice seemed to be magical and intoxicating.

For some reason, Moon could clearly see the man's face, his long unrestrained black hair was casually scattered, his ordinary appearance was slightly stiff, his messy beard and vicissitudes of life showed a little sadness, he was only wearing brocade clothes and no armor, and several scars on his chest were clearly visible.

"!#%&*(*&())(*&......?" The woman smiled, casually and kindly, listening to what the tone was asking.

“...... ￥%...... ¥%@#......" Behind the man's steady, deep voice was the madness that Moon had seen countless times.

The conversation between the two continued, Moon silently counting in his mind, he had already remembered the conversation between the two without understanding it. Three, two, one!

The man's right hand was slowly raised to his chest, looking at it as if admiring a work of art, and even though he had experienced it countless times, Moon was still so excited that he couldn't help himself!

With a hideous face, he popped his blood-stained eyeballs, slowly stuffed them into his mouth, and stared at the woman with one eye, full of mockery. A series of notes came out of the man's mouth, simple and mellow, mysterious and dignified.

Heaven and earth seemed to be driven by musical notes, and the feeling of silence was shattered in an instant, and the rage continued. The blood-colored sunset is in the middle of the sky, the newborn crescent moon stands in a lonely city, the blood color contrasts with the thunder, and the red sun competes with the bright moon.

The remaining remnant clouds rotated at great speed, condensing into a thunder eye intertwined with electricity and light, like a thunder waterfall of crime and punishment, like a vast thunder snake waiting for an opportunity, unknowable and unpredictable.

The man's hollow left eye was strangely condensed and plump. The whites of the eyes of the darkness of destruction, the red pupils of the battle. The gaze that seemed to come from hell locked on to the woman in the distance.

In the loud noise, the thunder eye could not bear it, and the net of the thunder snake, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, wanted to choose things and devour, and came from the sky, vowing to devour the man!

In the sneer, the thunder net with the power of heaven and earth has not been established. Silently dissipated over the man, and he didn't even look up. Thunder Eyes spun wildly, as if he was extremely anxious.

The man's left hand grasped in the air, and after the light pattern flickered, the black giant bow appeared out of thin air, and the stringless giant bow showed destruction with its posture.

The man's right eye was closed, and his left eye was not able to, but he really didn't want to, and he still looked at it quietly. He took a step forward, his right hand in the air, and the black arrow, just under the swirling thunder eye, flashed with devouring darkness, pointing straight into the distance, straight towards her. At this moment, he looked at everything, and at this moment, his killing intent was awe-inspiring.

Devouring, extinguishing, under the power of rage, is Moon's longing gaze! It is a thirst for power that has been seen countless times and has never diminished. It is also a rejection of oneself.

Woman in the distance. At this time, she was smiling, and the smile couldn't tell whether it was happiness, or relief, or even joy, or bitterness?

The silver-white armor accompanied the ups and downs of the earth, and finally, she pulled up the giant sword in front of her, and under the slashing of the void, the sword light shone brightly, bringing up the earth in front of the city, the sword ditch, and the bottomless. Light is an extension of the sword, and the momentum arises because of her.

Holding the sword in both hands, the giant sword pointed to the sky, and the sword light turned into a shape, straight into the clouds. Moon has already witnessed this scene countless times, the end of the sword in the clouds, the sound of peaceful birds, what is it?

The man still didn't move, even though the thunder eyes on his head were already turning wildly, and the thunder was intertwined, was he impatient? Was he angry? He still didn't move, why? He was calm on the outside, like the arrow that was gaining momentum, deep and desperate. The breath of destruction hangs over the whole city, destroying the heavens, destroying the earth, destroying itself, destroying her.

The woman still did not move, the sword light of the sky-high sword was dazzling in all directions, the grass and trees under the withered feet were growing wildly, and the flowers were in full bloom. Flowers bloom, leaves fall, and the cycle repeats. Sunrise, sunset, alternate.

Moon suffered a cardiac arrest, and in an instant, the thunder eye was still, and the seven-colored thunder descended like a dragon for nine days, and swooped down. Thunder did not appear. Some are just the determination to destroy that anyone can feel.

The color thunder devoured the man, and the man's right eye opened violently in the thunder light. The arrows burst out of the string in a roar, with a cry of despair, with a devouring silence. Wherever the arrows passed, the grass and trees turned to ashes, the corpses turned to dust, the air burned silently, and the light inevitably died. Why, why is this all-devouring darkness, the darkness of greed, so dazzling?

Where the arrow passes, the void shatters, all things perish, dust to dust, and earth to earth.

The melodious chirp disappeared, and the giant sword slashed down in the air with lightning speed, and the blade of light pierced through everything, and the blade of light also cut through the space, if the only salvation in the darkness, breaking the silence and breaking the void. Accompanied by the light blade of the giant sword, the sword qi burst out from the woman's body like a flock of scattered birds, little by little, drop by drop, cutting the earth under the city.

Eventually, the arrow meets the sword, and finally, between heaven and earth, between him and her. Only stillness.

The heavens have not collapsed, and the earth has not cracked. The blade of light shatters the black arrow and pierces it straight into the heart. Like a dragon thunder, in silence, the man has passed away, and the lonely city is gone.

The bottomless pit may still prove the traces of the existence of the man and the lonely city.

On the grassland, the flowers are falling. She stood there for a long time. The shadow sprinkled on the ground, slender.

A little bit of blood reflects her difficulty. But where does the hollowness in the chest take the heart?

At this time, she was smiling, and the smile couldn't tell whether it was happiness, or relief, or even joy, or bitterness?

The clouds are gone, and the sun is setting. Lei Yin, the moon returns to the east.

The golden light of the Dao pierced through the remnant clouds, moistening the earth, soothing the living beings, and enveloping her.

She smiled and looked up into the distance, as if relieved, as if fulfilled.

Moon suffered a sharp pain in his chest, and everything went dark. Only the red pupils, like a hellish gaze, lingered for a long time.

He doesn't understand, and he still doesn't.

"Master, you're awake. With this pleasant greeting, Moon slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him was the starry sky he was familiar with, a full moon in the midst of the stars. In the dim magical light, she, his exclusive maid and ---, Roxia Al Holleman, looked at her with a smile.

She helped Moon to his feet, and wiped the sweat from his head with her handkerchief, gently running it down his back.

"Looks like you're having that dream again?" Luo Xia's tone was always so gentle, revealing the care of a mature woman.

"Yes, I...?" Moon still felt a little embarrassed, even after going through it many times.

"Well, as always, shouting strange language that isn't elven, not our demon language, dancing and babbling, sweating profusely. Luo Xia calmly recounted the situation that had made Moon lose face, and the corners of her mouth smiled.

"Ahem, well, all I can say is me?"

"Yes, it deserves to be a young master. ”

"............" Moon sighed, giving up the idea of recovering his image with Luo Xia, there is no way, after all, it has been thirty years, and he almost always has this dream.

After thinking about it, Moon struggled to roll off the luxurious bed, and sorted out and dressed under the service of Luo Xia and several maids.

The maids were busy with their care, and he looked at himself in the mirror of the stone in a daze, with purple eyes, purple skin, long purple hair, a slender body, and a pair of pointed ears, a standard dark elf. Why is that dream so strange? Why is it all humans? You know, your own people have been driven down by humans.

Luo Xia looks very much like humans, but their demon race is like that, except for the red pupils, there is no difference between them and humans, speaking of which, why does Luo Xia always put her long hair in a bun, Moon likes long hair.

"Alright, young master. As Moon was in his thoughts, Luo Xia shoved a vanilla-containing leaf into his mouth. "Lord Duke is in the council chamber. After speaking, Luo Xia lifted her glasses and stood by the door of the bedroom.

"Say, should I make myself stronger?" Moon walked towards the door, his gaze still resting on the stone mirror, "I always feel like this, a little......well, weak?" Why did he ask, because he thought of the human man in his dream.

"Now the production and supply of the Imperial Demon Element is still very limited, although the young master can make more people not worry about food", Luo Xia smiled, "Not to mention the physique of the dark elf itself, with the physical fitness of the young master, it seems that he can't withstand my punch now or after he grows stronger." ”

"I think you have a point. I also think I should send you back to your demon clan. Moon pursed his lips and struggled to save face.

"If the young master can do it, he did it fifty years ago, so why wait until now, although I am quite willing, Lord Duke...."

"Tsk. Moon pouted again. He sometimes wondered why this woman could say such hateful things with a kind face and a soft tone! But he couldn't beat her! She wouldn't give him face! Hmmm?

Luo Xia didn't continue to hit Moon, turned around and knocked three times on the heavy door, and the black door slowly opened. The dim magic lamp in the corridor shone in, setting off the tall figure standing in the doorway.

"Bone Dance, promise me that you don't usually put down your face armor, it's easy to make me so nervous that I can't go to see my father. Moon raised his head slightly as he spoke, no way, the person in front of him was nearly a head taller than him.

(nods) The man known as Bone Dance didn't speak, but nodded, God knows how Moon was sure that the person in the full armor was nodding. After a slight metallic grind, the visor was pulled up, revealing a slightly pale, but standard Dark Elf female face before Moon's eyes.

"Council Chamber. The voice of the bone dance is neutral and soft, and a little soft, just like the word wind in her name of the bone dance, like a breeze around the ears, which makes people feel comfortable to listen to. However, she is a bit of a treasure trolder!

"Ahem!" Moon coughed deliberately, "Father, how's he?"

Bone Dance smiled and didn't speak, just shook her head.

"It's over, it's over, it's miserable. Moon blinked, turned back to Luo Xia and said, "Or, if you knock me out, you just say that I was too vegetable when I exercised me, and I was beaten unconscious?"

"I think I can try it, what do I think about Bone Dance?"

(shakes head)"

"Hey, elf man, big husband, one elf does things and one elf does! what's the big deal!" Seeing Gu Wu shaking his head, Moon thought about it, since he couldn't run away sooner or later, then just order, at most he would be scolded. So he raised his head and strode in the direction of the castle chamber. In this way, relying on the courage given to him by stepping on, Moon finally moved outside the council chamber.

"Well, my father is still in a meeting inside!I'd better come back later!" Moon didn't know who he was talking to, whether it was Luo Xia, or Bone Dance, or a few of the guards who were obviously waiting for him.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency has nothing to do at this time, and ordered our Highness to arrive, so we will directly invite His Highness in. ”

".....'s life is difficult. Can you not tear it down?"

"Your Highness, please. ”

Reluctantly, Moon was brought to the absolute grand chamber of the castle. There was a man sitting on the jewel chair, his long hair that should have been dark purple was now silver-white, and the slightly folded wrinkles were full of vicissitudes, and the majestic magic fluctuations were felt by everyone except Moon, he was the Archmage of the Bright Night, the Grand Duke of the Black Yao Empire, and Storm Black, who was in charge of a quarter of the empire's territory. The owner of the Stormwind Lord, the lord of Stormwind, the father of Moon Black.

"Sit down. Duke Stone, who was holding his chin with one hand and looking at the papers, said casually, without raising his eyes to look at Moon who was a little cowering.

"Let's talk about it. What's the situation. After a long silence, until Moon was sitting on an itchy ass, Storm finally spoke again.

"It's nothing, it's just that when my father sent a letter to the council before, I added a letter of my own application, applying to participate in the Butterfly Trial. ”

"Oh, it seems that you have studied all the institutions of the empire?"

"Well, that's pretty clear. ”

"Then you think I'm doing too much?"

"No, I know my father is doing it for my good, but I don't want to continue to be a moth. Moon put away his joking attitude and looked up at Stone, who was sitting not far away, and did not back down.

"Do you know the dangers of the Butterfly Trial?" Stone's tone remained calm, and he finally put the book down and looked at Moon not far away.

"I know, I know, that if I come back alive, I will have the opportunity to choose my fiefdom. ”

"So, you've already chosen?"

"Yes, it's already chosen, it's the deep blue forest in the country. ”

"I've already helped you build a city there, and it's no different from your fiefdom. ”

"Father, even though everyone in the Empire and the Imperial Council acquiesced, there were still many inconveniences without a formal canonization. And if someone has a heart to poke things out and make a big deal, your situation..."

"You should know that since I support you, I don't care about anything else. ”

"Yes, because you don't care, I care more. ”

"......." Storm looked at Moon, not speaking for a long time.

"Father!" Moon paused, his face slightly ashamed

"I'm 99 years old, and I'm going to be a hundred!" Moon paused again, "I can't resonate with the elements, I don't have a talent for bows and arrows, if it weren't for your children, I'd probably be a farmer, and then survive until I'm 100 years old, either turn into a butterfly or be banished." But since my reincarnation skills are not bad, and I am grateful that you have never disliked me, then I still want to do something so that I will not be used as material to ridicule you. ”

In silence, the two fathers and sons just looked at each other silently.

"Huh. For a long time, Storm smiled, who was silent, "Since it is a foregone conclusion now, so be it." In three months, you will be 100 years old. Generally speaking, the size of your team cannot exceed 10 people, so think carefully about who to take with you. With that, Storm stood up and prepared to leave the chamber.

"By the way, you can't bring those people. With that, Storm left the chamber with his escort.

Moon looked in the direction Storm had left, silent for a long time, in a daze.

"Young Master, are you going over there?" Luo Xia's gentle voice sounded in her ears.

"Well, go over and have a look. Moon, who came back to his senses, nodded slightly.
