The sunlight shining down from the shining sea brings the warmth of winter.

Arnold lay lazily on the deck, basking in the sun.

The earth, which had not seen sunlight for three days, came again on the morning of the fourth day!

It seems that the war on the Void Ocean has made a new breakthrough, and the Dark Alliance has retreated.

And the war of Neptune Harbor was completely over by the time Arnold woke up, and all that remained was the pacification of the kingdom.

Although Valoren is in turmoil all over the world at the moment, in Adelaide, there is a rare peace.

The orcs retreated, the undead retreated, and the demons were destroyed.

It's a pity that in this battle, except for Carl and Donald who were seriously injured, the rest of the people in the Holy Hill Discussion all fell.

"The river is like a tide

Unthinkable

Your beauty

Soft fragrant wine

Rising solitary leaves

......

Sensational gave a hug

The candle flame gave the burning"

"You squirm lazily

You laugh in the wind

There is a taste of rosemary

Coquettish with a minty flavor

Send me a signal of love

Elegant like a cat

Verdant bay

Memories rain

Unthinkable

My tomorrow

.......

I can't imagine such a heartbeat

Everything you want

Your lipstick is bright and flattering

A confident pride

What a subtle omen, the atmosphere

Because I love you I know"

......

"Well, the smell of love. ”

Arnold squinted his eyes and fell into a certain rhythm with this "green love song", which was a feeling of happiness and love.

A group of islanders from the archipelago throw an open-air party on the deck.

"Come with us, sir. "An islander in hula had the audacity to pull Arnold up.

Although Arnold changed into a civilian costume, he still betrayed him with a luxurious fabric, not to mention that he had an indescribable sense of attraction to the enthusiastic islander girl.

Arnold couldn't refuse, so he got up and had a bold and hot dance with this group of happy islander girls.

"Hahahaha. ”

The laughter and laughter spread far away from the ship's armor, attracting the crew members, who were still depressed because of the events of a few days ago, and now they were assimilated when they encountered such a party.

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've laughed so unscrupulously. Arnold wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.

It's not that he's tired, the sage's body is already different, but in order to feel their joy, he retracted all his power, leaving only a trace of the power of the source.

"This simple happiness can't be lost. Arnold sighed, took a huge glass of liquor from the waiter, and gulped it into his mouth.

"Ha, cool!" Arnold let out a long sigh. Refreshed.

"Sir, you just danced fantastic, my name is Anne, and I live at No. 17 on the third floor. Anne gently brushed Arnold's shirtless chest muscles, and chuckled, quietly leaving an ambiguous word in his ear.

"Arnold, I didn't expect you to be so popular. ”

Arnold looked at Lydia who appeared beside him and smiled awkwardly: "Maybe it's an unintentional attraction from my extraordinary temperament, I tried my best to shrink." ”

"This time you can finally see your mother. But are you sure the key to defeating the darkness lies in the royal capital of St. Ives?"

Lydia was dressed in a cool outfit, revealing two white arms, which made Arnold's eyes a little confused.

"I'm sure it's not only the Mother Goddess who guides, but also the blessings of the former King of the Green Dragon, as I told you, and St. Ives. ”

"I think it all started in Adelaide, so Adelaide must be hiding some secret. And all this is in the royal capital of Saint-Ives, I must go. ”

"Arnold, then you know why the darkness has suddenly receded, Afra told me that the power of the gods has long since been exhausted, and it is impossible to stop the army of darkness. ”

"It's the prophecy of Mother God. Darkness is everywhere, and they must have known this prophecy, and without the certainty of victory, they chose to go first and retreat. Until we find the key to the final throne before we do. ”

Arnold looked at the joyful crowd in the distance, and the belief in his heart was even stronger.

"I'm in charge of all this. ”

"Arnold?" Lydia said with a hint of mischievousness.

"Huh?" Arnold looked at her quizzically.

"In the evening, go to me, I have some magical questions for you. After Lydia said this, her face was a little red unconsciously, and she took a few steps away from Arnold nervously, "I, I'll go pour some more wine." ”

"At night. Arnold's face was also a little ruddy, and he didn't know what he thought, and his eyes were a little excited.

※※※

Half a month later, the royal capital of St. Ives.

"Wow, that's a lot of people. Arnold was amazed at the population of the royal capital, Saint-Ives, which had reached the point of being crowded.

Lydia smirked, "Today is Adelaide's annual sacred sword festival. There will be people from all over the continent coming. ”

"Holy Sword Sacrifice?" Arnold is now very sensitive to the word 'Holy Sword'.

"Yes. Lydia sat in the carriage and smiled as Arnold explained, "Do you see the building in the center of the royal capital, St. Ives? The Holy Sword Festival was held there. ”

"The Holy Sword Sacrifice is the trial of the sword, and it is said that those who pass the trial of the sword will receive the true holy sword. ”

"Trial of the Sword. "Arnold kind of understands why there are so many people, Holy Sword, that's a great thing.

"Is the Holy Sword Tower built by our kingdom?" Arnold looked at the tower and found that with his strength, he couldn't see the top.

"No, that's a relic of the Asgardian era. ”

"Asgard, the hero of the ancestors, Asgard?" Arnold said, surprised.

"Yes. The royal capital of St. Ives was once the capital of heaven in that era, the distant pinnacle of the holy land, the city gate was closed, and only the ruler of the world could open it. ”

"Isn't that the ruler of the mortal world? ”

"Yes. ”

With Lydia's introduction, Arnold and the others gradually traveled with the carriage and gradually approached the royal palace in Adelaide.

"Go, your mother is in that mage tower. Lydia pointed to a mage tower in a remote corner of the palace, "I've already told Your Majesty. And it was also approved by Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Princess Sylvia returned to the royal capital ahead of schedule in order to stabilize the stability of the royal capital. There is also the old king of Adelaide who died half a month ago, and the new king is the crybaby Emmanuelle.

"Now the eldest princess can enter and leave this palace at any time, but, alas. Lydia sighed, "The eldest princess seems to have a knot in her heart, and after knowing that her brother died, she chose not to leave the mage tower for the rest of her life. We persuaded us, but it didn't work. She's your mother and should listen to you. ”

After the night on the ship, Lydia became more intimate with Arnold.

"Hmm. Arnold nodded, shook his head a little nervously, looked at his dress, and made sure that there was no problem before striding towards the mage tower.

“......”

The process of Arnold's recognition of his mother was surprisingly simple, and before Arnold could explain, he was embraced by the beautiful woman in front of him, who was still in his thirties.

This was followed by whispered weeping, tears of joy in rebuilding loved ones.

Arnold didn't go anywhere that night, and obediently accompanied his mother to tell his own experience at the Mage's Tower.

"Lydia, I've seen that girl, it's a nice girl. You have to cherish people. ”

"Yes, Mother. Arnold nodded heavily.

※※※

On the plateau of Karasu, the sun is slowly sinking above the horizon.

"Master, this is the Storm Sword. Black Dragon-Augustin half-knelt on the ground, holding the holy sword in both hands, holding it high. "You've done a good job. I also found the key. Valoren, you blocked me 4 times, and this time, you will definitely not be able to stop me again. In the darkness, the golden vertical eyes were indifferent and merciless, and let out a silent sneer.

※※※

"Trial of the Sword!"

Arnold stood in front of the Holy Sword Tower, standing with his hands in his hands.

After returning from the Elemental Sea, Arnold began to search for the location of the final throne. It wasn't until he came to St. Ives, the capital of King Adelaide, that he was truly sure that the final throne arranged by the Mother Goddess of Creation was in this holy sword tower.

And he is the key that really unlocks the throne.

Arnold shook his head and stepped into the Holy Sword Tower without hesitation.

The moment Arnold stepped into the Holy Sword Tower, the entire Holy Sword Tower suddenly shook, and all the people who were trying to practice in the tower were ejected.

Then the entire body of the Holy Sword Tower began to be illusory and disappeared into the world of everyone.

Before people had time to exclaim because of the changes in the Holy Sword Tower, they found that the sun in the sky had suddenly disappeared, and the earth had fallen into total darkness.

In the year 1818 of the Nantes calendar, the first day of the festival.

Everyone in the entire Valoren world found that the sky had lost the sun, and the moon, and all light.

Everyone raised their heads to look at the night sky destined to be extraordinary, and a sword tower made of gold appeared in the night.

"Here we go. ”

In the void of Valoren, the gods from the eleven kingdoms of God descended one after another, and quietly appeared above the boundaries of Valoren in the sky.

The stars in the sky seem to reflect the light of an era.

But in the darkness -

Deborah was already visible, and she silently watched the battle of the ages. Behind her, in a distant era, it was once given a special name - Gaia.

The meaning of the earth's existence is to protect the birth of life.

And that's where all hope lies.

The golden-red sky was already faintly dark.

Arnold stepped lightly on the earth, and opposite him was a majestic mountain, which was not as high as the peak, like an endless peak.

He knew that the final throne was there, at the top of this mountain.

This is his trial, his sword trial.

Step by step, Arnold began to embark on the mountaineering path.

It was as if the road had no end and no meaning.

As he stepped up the stairs, the wind stopped and the water was still. Only the sound of his breathing was so clearly audible.

The sword tower made of gold began to slowly decompose, only the sky could not see the sky, and half of it began to become fiery red, as if burning with golden flames, and above the layers of clouds, the fiery red light was reflected, and the burning meteors pierced the sky little by little.

In the other half of the sky, the stars are rising, and those majestic, brilliant and magnificent constellations are revealed one by one on the light purple canopy. The stars are changing their light with each other, and in the light and deep night, a constellation of kings is gradually emerging in people's field of vision.

The light dispelled the darkness, a spectacle of countless time—like the flame of dawn.
