The midday heat was not a major disaster for the inhabitants of the eastern mountain basins.

The narrow Sacred Dragon Mountains, which stretch from south to north, form the entire eastern mountainous region and are more distinctive than the entire continent – Philo is one of the small towns nestled in the mountains.

In terms of planting, the inhabitants who live here are not good at it, and the annual food production is barely enough to feed a small population, but a little carelessness can easily lead to famine.

However, it is not possible to take advantage of the so-called southern and western improvements, whether it is farming or draining the water from the soil that often stagnates.

One of the reasons for this is probably the lack of awareness of the people here.

This is true throughout the eastern mountains.

Even though this is the birthplace and hometown of the Holy Dragon, the huge mountains and overly rugged mountain roads are irreparable barriers that separate villages from village to village, and also from the rest of the east.

Before the development of the alchemy apparatus, they enjoyed a life that seemed peaceful to them and mediocre to the people of the other ministries...... After the development of alchemical apparatus......

Nothing has changed either.

......

That day.

"Little girl, don't touch my trellis!

A villager came back from the field and sat down on a chair in front of the house, holding in his hand a cigarette peculiar to the east—the stalk of which was a hollow straw that could be picked up in the mountains—something that seemed tasteless elsewhere, but the villager enjoyed it, exhaled, and pointed to the child who wanted to slip under his nose into the small trellis behind the house.

"Be careful what I tell your parents—"

When the little girl heard this, she immediately stopped, turned back in annoyance, and couldn't help it. He was telling the truth, and if this man had sued his parents, she would have nowhere else to run—where else could she go but this village, which could not be walked out of a hundred steps?

"It's too much, can't I just run out?" she exclaimed.

"Philo's people don't need to live outside. "The villagers speak like everyone else – it seems to be a tradition in the village.

"You're lying. Obviously my parents secretly said that a person left!"

"But he'll never come back. We have to stand where we are and speak. ”

...... What a pointless conversation.

- Like the people of the entire eastern mountains, they are closed to contentment, and the Holy Dragon has never interfered with anyone's will, for it is not a ruler.

"Hey, what's that?" the little girl frowned, and had to give up her prank, but when she turned her head, her voice screamed, "Why is the sun black!"

"Black sun!what's that?!" the villager opened his closed eyes and was about to laugh at the idle girl, "little girl—you ......"

But the sun really turned black.

——

In the sky, the blue sky is still the same, but there is already a faint ominous smell - the sun hanging high is not to be seen directly, and forcing it to look at it will only burn people's eyes.

But it turned black.

When the little girl saw it, it seemed to still maintain some dazzling traces, but soon, black like a prey-eating prey, quickly swallowed the sun one bite at a time, and the sky was overshadowed, and the clouds shrouded it, like a huge whirlpool on the sea in a storm, rolling up an unsettling picture in the vast ocean of the sky—

What happened?

——

Later, the day of the Misty Moon of 1527 was called the "Time of Turmoil."

It was a disaster.

Blood began to spread from the middle, darkness began to envelop the land from the east, and the devil destroyed the pillars of people's faith and raged all the way to the south, destroying one home after another.

But in the end it stopped.

No one knows why it started, and no one knows why it ended.

......

"Philo ......," Jolina muttered to herself, compared to the shock of the others, she was not sensitive to the name of the place.

Rumors, the devil's hometown.

People have suffered physical and mental calamities because of the devil until now.

"Our family...... Oh, it's not just our family, other families also have this tradition, spying on Philo's birth. Heidi whispered beside her - by magic, it was possible to keep quiet and not be heard by others.

- Why do you have to pass the note when you do this?

The complaint in Jolina's heart flashed away, followed by puzzlement: "Why?"

"They are worried that there will be the next ...... Devil. ”

No one knew that a subverted continent would come out of a calm and closed village.

"......" Jolina frowned.

——

Not long ago, the observers in Philo brought back the news that a Philo woman who had forcibly married into the next village had disappeared.

"They should destroy Philo once and for all. ”

"It's the land of the devil—it's the soil that breeds sin, and all we have to do is destroy it!"

"No matter how many people the devil has killed, we must be merciful at this moment. ”

"Look, something happened again, right?!"

......

"They...... Neurotic. Jolina frowned.

Heidi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "What do you say?"

Fortunately, Jolina didn't say this, and if anyone but her heard it, she was afraid that she would become a bloody member of these passionate family councils.

"Philo is a gift—doesn't that seem to be a difficult thing to understand?, and Ironia never looked at the man's origin when she chose Santa Fes, right?" asked Jolina.

"Well, that's what I said. ”

"That gifted person is stimulated to become a necromancer, which proves that everyone in Philo is in danger?"

"It seems to be ......"

"How are these guys spying on those poor melon-eating people?!"

“...... When it's dangerous, I probably even stare at the toilet. ”

"???? too much!"

......

"I know what you mean, it seems a little unfair to treat Philo's people like this, but you also know how great the disaster was in the first place. Heidi probably understood what Jolina meant.

Jolina shook her head: "They are not here to prevent the disaster from happening again, but to take revenge." ”

Revenge on the place where there was a gifted man, and that gifted person, after becoming Santa Fes, lived up to the expectation of being an instrument of profit, and caused a disaster that harmed their great interests.

Sometimes people panic about thousands of deaths.

And after the disaster subsides, it will seem to be reasonable, but it will be returned to the things related to it exponentially.

"What's more, the degree of closure in the eastern mountainous areas is ...... It's always been the location of the Dark ShadowClan's activities, right?"
