Legend has it that in the distant Archean period, everything on earth spoke the same language, the language of the gods. With the birth of the second generation of gods, each species has its own language and script, but some special regions and cities, such as the night elf dungeon of Elysion and the solaris city of Almeida in the Emerald Forest, still use the original names given by the gods. Bratisteles is one of them, a tongue-wrenching and lengthy name that can be split into 'The Silver Land' and 'Heart', and is known as the abbreviated 'White Crowned Star' as the capital of an empire created by man. Not only because it is in the shape of a six-pointed star under the auspices of the six satellite cities, but also because it is indeed the brightest star in the crown of the King of God. Counting the surrounding farming households, the slaves working in the mines, and the three major legions defending the royal city, the total population of the entire imperial capital reached a terrifying 310,000, and Edgar, who was only counted in the villages and tens of thousands in the town, was only comparable to the city of Hohenheim, which was known as the city of mages.

According to the Continental Chronicles, at the height of the empire, the population of the imperial capital once exceeded 400,000. Link has always scoffed at this, believing that it is an exaggeration by historians and compilers of continental chronicles. In a medieval world where productivity was generally low, it was difficult to keep such a large city running on a daily basis, even with magic. When he rushed to the imperial capital with the blessing of divine arts, he was still deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.

Scattered dwellings, lavish aristocratic mansions, and temples are divided by white avenues that radiate in a cobweb, and the sprawling complex stretches to the other side of the horizon. For a moment, Link thought he was back on Earth, and although it was a different style, the dense architecture was no less dense than that of a modern big city, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as 'ocean'.

Link's most intuitive feeling and first impression of the city is the vibrancy. In his time. Human beings are shrouded in the shadow of death for many years, running for daily livelihoods, fearing the spirits of the undead who will break through the walls at any time, and life is depressing and dull, and there is no fun at all. Even in the new capital of Aiden, the streets are deserted. Occasionally, a few pedestrians were in a hurry. The imperial capital in front of him, the streets are full of traffic, vendors peddling goods7, adventurers peddled business, and clergy who preach and preach, a scene of prosperity and vigor.

This situation and this scene can be seen in a trance.

At this time, the princes had not completely divided the empire, and the nobility had not yet corrupted and degenerated to the point of hopelessness. Hohenheim has not remained neutral yet, humans and the undead should still have the ability to fight, how could the war that completely changed the course of history be lost?

While he was in a daze, the footsteps that had been behind him finally caught up.

"Your Excellency. "The radical druids, led by Jafar the Black Wolf, were half-kneeling behind Link.

The clergy do not bow down to non-believing gods, with the only exception being the children of nature. Before the loss of divine grace, the child of nature was the embodiment of the pillar in the material realm, and every word and deed was equivalent to the pillar itself. Bowing down to it is equivalent to bowing down to the pillar. It's not out of line with their behavior.

After waiting for a long time and not getting a response, Jafar couldn't hold back. The anxious gaze almost pierced Link's back.

After months together, the druids were well aware of the character of 'Befast', stubborn and stern. It is already self-determination to follow without the permission of the children of nature, and it is light to be reprimanded, but if the children of nature are punished, they will inevitably suffer from flesh and skin.

"I have a bad premonition. ”

Finally. The child of nature, who stood as still as a rock, spoke, but the meaning of his words stunned those who heard it. The clergy have more or less premonitions that transcend their instincts, and the children of nature are particularly prominent, and their premonitions are almost prophetic.

"What do you mean ......"

"Something big is about to happen. ”

So did you come to the imperial capital?

Even if he had doubts in his heart, Jafar didn't dare to say it. Unlike the really gentle Iris. Befast had an odd temper and was a little aggressive in his dealings with people, and he didn't want to be sent back to the Guardian for an inappropriate question.

"Didn't you call me the Punisher in private, and why did you follow me to the Imperial Capital?" Flashing back casually, Link's question made the druids shudder and their heads lowered.

"Because we don't like the war in the north. "Someone has to come forward, Jafar stepped forward, "The undead are getting stronger day by day, but humans are weakening their own combat power due to internal strife, and the Emerald Forest is ...... Two commanders have already been lost in a row. ”

The Emerald Forest, the forest where the glow elves used to live, is an endless primeval forest to the northeast of Horacio. What Link saw in the guardian of the Earth Illusion was already an emerald forest eroded by the undead, drained of its vitality and turned into an empty shell with an illusory appearance. It was there that he heard the story of the Glow Elves, Iris was the only remaining member of the royal family, his parents and nephews were both killed in battle, and he wondered if the two commanders Jafar had mentioned were among them.

"Does Iris know?"

A look of surprise flashed in Jafar's eyes, he had thought that Befast would not care about the people around him, and all along, he was like a stone, focusing only on his own business.

"Following the instructions of the Grand Druid, without your consent, I did not inform Ires about this. Although he was born as a prince, he is a druid of the pillar of the earth at the moment, and everything is based on the pillar. ”

Link sighed inwardly. Irees may not really be unaware that elves are born with the ability to communicate with nature, and even if they are not told by their companions, they can still learn about the war situation in the north from other sources. Only a few times they made eye contact, and they all saw the hidden sorrow in Irees's eyes. Regardless of the relationship between the commander and the glow elf royal family, since even the commander of the elf allies was killed in battle, the human side would not be much better, and this trip to the imperial capital was really necessary.

Link was somewhat displeased with the news that Jafar had just revealed. The druids were afraid of his interference in the world, and even concealed such an important matter as the death of the front-line commander.

Seeing that the Son of Nature continued to use the White Deer Avatar to advance towards the imperial capital, Jafar was shocked: "What are you doing here?"

He thought that even if he wanted to intervene in the world, he would cover it up a little, instead of coming directly as a child of nature.

"The words of those who have no status carry no weight. The voice was still in the air, and the white deer's four hooves were lightly tapped, and it had turned into a small black dot in the eyes of the druids.

"What should I do?"

"Direct intervention, I'm afraid it's ......"

"Jafar, what do you think?"

Although they are radicals, the druids do not want the children of nature to fall like this, and still count on him to change the tide of the war in the north.

"What else, keep up!" Jafar gritted his teeth, "the avatar is still there, and he hasn't lost his favor yet." ”

In the winter of 878 in the imperial calendar, Befast appeared for the second time in the records of the Continental Chronicles and the chronicles of various ethnic groups, when he entered the imperial capital - Bratisteles through the main gate in the form of a white deer.

At noon, the West White Gate of the Imperial Capital, named after the color of the four elements, welcomed a visitor who caused a sensation. The passing caravans stopped one after another, watching in amazement as the 'Legend of Apotheosis' walked towards the city gate.

"A deer?"

"Isn't this stupid? If you don't stay in the mountains and forests and run to the city, isn't this looking for death?"

"Dawn is above, am I right?"

"Oh...... This was the first time in my life that I had witnessed a miracle. ”

The guards defending the city looked at each other in a chatter, not knowing what to do next.

Emperor Du is no longer than other places, and he is not allowed to enter the city at all without a name tag and certificate that can prove his identity. But give them a thousand dares not to stop the white deer incarnated by the pillar, just let it in, and it is contrary to the duty of guards, just when they are in a dilemma, seeing that the white deer is getting closer and closer, and is almost at the gate of the city, a rapid sound of horses' hooves comes from the city. Everyone followed the prestige, but they were all pierced by the sudden appearance of golden light.

"Apostle of the Pillars of the Earth, why did you come to Bratistrals!" the visitor shouted, successfully stopping the white deer's steps.

The young knight was dressed in the holy armor of the Church of the Dawn, polished to the surface of a mirror, and the smooth metal refracted the sunlight, and the whole person was as dazzling as a divine presence.

Julian, I really didn't expect our past 'first encounter' to be like this.

The handsome knight who was like a god was none other than the former High Priest of Dawn who had taken refuge in Death and transformed into a Lord of the Undead, Julian.

For a moment, Link was murderous, but then quickly calmed down.

Even if it is the use of killing Julian, changing history does not mean that fate will be reversed. What's more, he can travel through time and space thanks to the gift of the morning light, and if the law senses the direct intervention of the first generation, it may bring the future to an even more dangerous situation.

Link didn't dare to take this risk, and in the future, Dawn was forcibly cut off from the material world by the law because of the revelation of sending him back to the past. Dawn and the Cult of Dawn are indispensable forces in the fight against the undead, and now is the critical stage of the Northern Campaign, if anything is wrong at this juncture......

The last bit of killing intent faded from his heart, and Link lifted his incarnation and appeared as a human to face Yurian, who was still just a Knight of the Dawn. Although he was much shorter than Julian on horseback, his momentum surpassed that of the future Death Lord, who was just a hairy boy at the time.

This change caused discussions in the originally quiet West White City Gate.

"People?"

"How did Bailu become a human?"

"This generation of children of nature is of human origin?"

There were many people in the crowd who knew about the Children of Nature, but more often than not, the flat-headed people who had never seen or knew the incarnation of the Pillar of Earth. Not far away, the exclamations spread from far to near, and the onlookers scattered in all directions, revealing the culprits that caused the panic - a pack of wolves, and then turned into human beings in another wave of surprise.

Julian looked displeased and questioned loudly: "This is the imperial capital, and it is the jurisdiction of Dawn!"

"I have an oracle to see the High Priest. "Furui Wubo's tone, 'Befast', which looked more cold than Link's original appearance, said lines that Julian couldn't refuse.

Seeing that the onlookers were gathering more and more, and knowing that the Children of Nature and the Druid could not continue to block the city gates and cause more chaos, Julian could only dismount and lead them on foot to the Holy See where the High Priest was located. (To be continued.) )
