"There is only a limit to the support that Einfast can give us, and I don't think that if Celeste really uses all the power of the Western Continent to attack us, they will be able to put all their national strength into battle. And Tytalia's national strength is too weak, and at most it can only play a certain diversion role. ”

"That.... Would you like to bring back General Gru and the elite troops of the Sandface Mountains? The base there should have begun, but..."

"The rest of the troops don't need it, just let him come back alone. Cedros nodded.

"Alone?"

"Yes, just one person. A cold light flashed in Cetellos' eyes.

"Looks like he's having a good time, well, forget it. Morrill nodded thoughtfully.

"Unexpected...... Gru is actually your adopted son......" Asa struggled to overlap the image of the red-haired woman with the image of Gru in his mind, and it seemed that he could indeed find some commonality. It's not the appearance, it's the kind of unique temperament that other people, or other human beings, and other creatures will never have. Asa was extremely surprised and a little relieved that only this dragon could cultivate a man as strong as Gru.

Back in the forests of Tula, Jessica, who was kneeling at Gru, uttered the phrase "Messenger of Moriel". However, Jessica didn't say much later, and Asa didn't ask any questions, and it wasn't until this time that Morrill learned about it from his own mouth.

"Strange to say, it was more than twenty or thirty years ago, when I was suddenly awakened by strange magical fluctuations in a long sleep...... It was the vibration of the highest level of space magic, and then a baby appeared in front of me. I don't know which guy actually used an incomplete space-time transfer on a baby. Even in the old elven days, it was a forbidden technique. ”

"He probably came out of an affair between elves and humans. The combination of a noble elf and a lowly human is indeed an unforgivable felony in the Elven Empire. You know, in the infinite river of time and space, this coordinate just recessed around me, which is really a strange coincidence. What is it called...... Fate? No. What is that word called?...... Coincidence? Isn't it right...... It seems to be called "fate". I remember that a golden dragon told me about the word earth, and it had a very interesting meaning. Kindness...... It's also possible that someone I knew before wanted to entrust him to me, but I have no way of knowing who it is. ”

The scattered gold coins and various treasures had been restored under Moriel's two or three spells, and they had been piled up into a small mountain of gold, burying the altar of dragon blood that sealed her soul and life force underneath. Moriel, on the other hand, had reverted to the original form of the huge black dragon lying on top of this golden mountain, although the humanoid state was more flexible, but it seemed that she was more relaxed in this state.

Asa crossed his knees on the ground. Look up at the behemoth beast above the golden mountain. According to the experience of old guys like Asa and Sandru. Morrill is both a self-description and a self-reminiscence. Although her conjured human form does not seem to be old, and it is difficult to measure whether she is "old" or not, her lifespan of a thousand times that exceeds that of a human must have far more experiences than humans to chew on.

"He didn't even consult with me and ran away with the old man Cedrus. Do you think I'm going to let him out? It's a fate of his own choosing, and I have no right to interfere with it, and I don't want to interfere with it. It's just a little boring every few years......"

Asa listened quietly to Moriel's words before he spoke, "Alright, now you know everything you want to know." Can you tell me you want to know something?"

Morriel's giant dragon head nodded, and said, "It's about the Dark Star, right? My agreement with Archibald is not to give this to the Necronomical Guild who inherits him, so I can tell you something." ”

Asa sighed, touched a few joints on his body that were still painful, and said, "Before that, what I want to know is why the passage that Archibald deliberately left behind is actually a road to death. ”

"It's a very simple question, and it's natural that he thinks such a person deserves to die. ”

"Why damn it?"

"To be able to complete the meditation technique that he left behind, that is, it is possible for this person to pick up the dark star, how can such a person not be damned? It's not just Archibald who thinks he deserves to die. Even I think he deserves to die, which is a rare consensus we have. It's just that things are a little unexpected, and it's actually you weird little guy who came. ”

"Archibald...... Didn't you always want to pull out the dark star?"

"How could he have thought of pulling that damn sword? He's a nasty guy, but he's not crazy enough to kill himself and destroy the world by the way. ”

"What the hell is this......" Asa only felt dizzy the more he asked.

Looking at Asa's expression, Morriel let out a burst of laughter that shook the cavern. "I'll tell you from the beginning. Brat. It seems that what you have always thought is far from the real truth, and what I have told you is enough to surprise you. She paused. Looking at Asa with a strange smile, he said, "Let me tell you an interesting detail first." Do you think that sword hilt was really broken by the last acting guildmaster you said? Don't dream, the dark star is condensed with all the dead and dark aura of this continent for thousands of years, it is the soul power of countless people, even Archibald does not have the courage to break it. The hilt of the sword had long since been broken, but Archibald had barely attached it to it. No one has dared to pull it out for hundreds of years. That's what I broke it off. It was I who went to the Shadow Vortex Mountains five hundred years ago to find the sword and destroy it, but was stopped by Archibald and his friends. ”

"What? Why?"

Morrill looked at Asa's surprised face with interest and spoke slowly. "Let me tell you from the beginning. Brat. You're the only one on the continent right now who knows that. ”

"At least in the history I know, there is no record of when the Black Star appeared. I don't know how long ago, I don't know if it was naturally generated or if it was deliberately done by some race, a large mountain range in the southernmost part of the continent is in the shape of a magic array, and the mountain range is connected to the breath of the entire continent, whether it is elves, people, or other intelligent races, the spirit and slight magic left behind after death are driven by the leylines to gather in that mountain range, and these breaths are highly condensed at a point in this mountain range, and it becomes a sword. ”

"In my time, the elves of the Elven Empire had actually noticed the power of this thing. They also understood the danger of this thing, and deliberately devised a series of protection methods to prevent people from touching the sword. But then the elves began to clash with us dragons and titans because of their infinite expansion. After a few great battles, an elven king finally came up with the idea that he could use the incredible power of this thing against us. That fool, that thing that was born of countless dead thoughts, how could it be used by a living being? The special magic protection made by hundreds of elven masters* did not have the slightest effect, and the elven king who held the sword became an undead monster. ”

"Elves, people, not even dragons and titans can resist the power of this sword. That's the power of the whole continent. Countless creatures have been killed and become controlled puppets of the undead. Eventually, all of our remaining races have banded together to wipe out the undead Elven King in one fell swoop. But when the army gathered near the Central Mountains, on top of the elven city in the Central Mountains, the Undead Elven King unleashed a spell attached to the Dark Star. ”

"Before that, we dragon feet, elven masters, thought that our magic had reached the pinnacle. But when this magic is released from this sword, we realize how small we are, how ridiculous we are. ”

"Countless rain of flames and meteors fell from the sky, and great earthquakes trembled and lava erupted. The Central Mountain Range was originally the center of the continent's leylines, and the sword's death and dark aura spread everywhere along the leylines. A castle adrift in the sky. The city on the ground, everything was ruined, and it was like the end of the world. ”

"The Blade of Doom, that's the name of the sword at the time. ”

"Only we dragons have suffered the least from this catastrophe. I was the only one who was seriously injured at the time, and the rest of the clan had to help me seal me into the ground with magic and wait for me to recover. More than 500 years ago, when I woke up again, I found that none of my people were gone. The Elven Empire, the Titans are no longer to be found. Instead, it was the once inferior humans who became the masters of the ground. I incarnated* to find out that the history of your human race is only a few thousand years, and no one knows anything about the Blade of Doom and the catastrophe. ”

"Then I thought of going to the mountain range where the Doomsday Blade was born, but I was surprised to find that the Doomsday Blade was actually standing there again, and there were still a few magicians living there. I want to destroy the Blade of Doom, but they want to stop it, and the one at the head is Akibald. Although they were already strong among humans, how could their declining magic skills be compared to those of the Elven Empire back then...... I defeated them, intending to destroy the Doomsday Blade. ”

"But what I didn't expect was that my attack with all my might only broke the hilt of my sword, and the dark aura that erupted in an instant swept me half to death. The elven woman among them actually took the opportunity to use the magic soul extraction of the ancient elf* master, and sealed me together with Archibald. ”

"Actually, the reason why they stopped me is very simple, if the Doomsday Blade, the pitch-black star in their mouths, is really completely destroyed, although the power of the dark aura emitted is much smaller than that doomsday catastrophe, it is enough to kill all the people of the small half of the continent. ”
