97. Before the Empire of Thorns
Before the Holy War, the Flat Continent was divided into two pieces by the Eye of the Dead Sea.
One is from the former Thorn Empire, and the other is from the south

"Good, both of them are there. The woman in white with gold threads floated in the air, looking at the sea of fire in the distance.
"I'm going to solve these two hidden dangers. Futespar took a deep breath and closed her eyes and scratched at the sky, as if something had all converged on her, making her feel empowered.
Futespar grasped the staff topped with a blue gem and disappeared in place.
"Futespa!" Lycia felt her celestial spirit cover being pressed down with a force, and when she looked up in disagreement, she saw that the empty-eyed Futespa was aiming the tip of her sapphire staff at her forehead.
Lycia suddenly felt that she could no longer hear the roar and the sound of flames scorching objects, and the color in her eyes faded.
Futespar's hollow eyes kept staring at Lycia.
Lycia felt a tyrannical aura engulf her body, and her newly developed godhead was torn apart little by little.
"Even you want to be a god?" Futespar spun the staff in his hand in a circle.
Unable to move or think, Lycia was violently suppressed.
She then fell to the ground, and the mutated monsters that had used heraldic stones stepped on her.
Dimitri's heraldic power has been depleted.
All of his guards were killed.
Futespar pulled out a golden sword and, in the remnant sun, swung it and stabbed at Lycia's arched back.
"You too will die by this sword. Futespa swooped down.
"I won't allow it!" a stacking roar rang out behind Lycia, a vast dark vortex buffering Futespa's onslaught.
"Lycia, my child. Lycia, who had lost her senses, suddenly heard a very gentle whisper, as if she was being held in her arms by a pair of soft white arms.
She felt like a little baby being held in her arms, and was there anyone in this world who really loved herself for free?
Lycia struggled to open her eyes to see who it was.
"Lycia, it's Mommy. With blue eyes filled with unreserved love, Lycia felt that this person resembled herself, and she wore a pearl hair ornament.
"My little Lycia, do you want to see a trick?" the woman held her in one hand, and with the other she took out a brass wand and waved it lightly in the air.
In the air appeared blooming flowers and falling petals.
Lycia felt happy and warm, and she giggled, hoping to please the gentle woman.
She wanted to indulge in it.
Lycia felt a quivering kiss fall between her brows, and then white light and red petals bloomed before her eyes.
"Mom. Lycia muttered.
The brass wand in his pocket floated out, and white light and petals emerged from the tip of the wand, surrounding Lycia and blocking Futespa's last sword.
"Strength. Lycia opened her eyes, and all her senses returned to her body.
The ancient pages floated in the air, turning a few pages, and Lycia read the only line she understood.
"Help me and repay you in the future. ”
The pages turned, and ancient power gathered from the book into Lycia's body.
The silver Selene was trembling, and so was the rubble on the ground.
Dimitri landed at the top of the castle and saw Lycia in the encirclement, he couldn't help, and she didn't need anyone's help, and Dimitri realized this with dismay.
The Eye of the Dead Sea is full of waves.
"Judgment!" Lycia spread a pair of membrane wings behind her back, she was at the same height as Futespar.
Selene let out a battle hum, and the silver light and Futespar tugged back and forth, creating several small explosions in the air.
Lycia didn't seem to be inferior, but she couldn't catch Futespa.
"You only have a thousandth of his strength, do you really think you can survive my hands?" a smile appeared on Futespa's lips.
One thousandth, Lycia also knows that her strength cannot surpass that of Kaguya Knight, but only one thousandth of his.
The golden greatsword pressed against Lycia's head, and the power contained in it made Lycia not have the strength to continue to stand upright.
She held up the silver ring of thorns above her head.
Lycia saw in her godhead that a large number of threads had gathered into Futespa's body from all over the place.
That's the power of faith, the power that comes from believers.
Accumulate a lot of power and put it on the giant sword to destroy it.
"Energy. "The old language evokes the sapphire in Lycia's bag.
The power in the sapphire sustains Lycia and allows her to continue her stalemate with the greatsword.
The dragon's groan suddenly sounded, and Dimitri couldn't stand it anymore.
"Awakened blood?" said Futespar to Dimitrius with a look. "But like her, you're still too young. ”
Just when Lycia and Dimitrili were about to lose their support, a huge black vortex appeared in the sky, and the clouds gave way.
Lycia was swept into the maelstrom of the sky.
Dimitorius looked at the sky with his sword, he was already scarred, and the force that had supported him had disappeared with Lycia leaving.
Dimitrili fell to the ground.
Futespa glanced at the black vortex that slowly closed in the air, and then looked down at Dimitri, surrounded by mutants, with a pitying gaze.
"As long as it's not an immortal golden dragon. She put away the golden greatsword that hung upside down in the sky. Then he will surely die. ”
However, the dragon sigil that surrounds Dimitorius just proves that it is the immortal golden dragon.
Reluctance and anger welled up in Futespa's eyes, and she controlled the flow of power within herself.
*
Lycia knew that she was being 'rescued' into the black vortex, and she relaxed and floated with the vortex.
"That's cruel!" Lycia felt a lot of noise in her ears.
"yes, Kaguya, that's so ruthless. ”
"She's so young, she's just been born. ”
Lycia still couldn't open her eyes, but the idea of being born was a little too much.
"Isn't it, it's still a little baby, Kaguya is so ruthless, I want to cry. ”
The rhetoric is becoming more and more exaggerated.
Lycia sensed that it was the Twelve Horsemen circling her, so she was in the Eye of the Dead Sea.
"Whew. ”
She even heard a shrill howl.
"Kaguya actually gave her a bunch of useless things to her child like this, just expecting her to complete her mission?"
Lycia thought that she might be related to the Kagura Knight, but she never thought that she was the Knight Kalei's child.
"She probably doesn't know who she is. ”
"Yes, I don't know, I still think I'm the one chosen by fate!"
Lycia's body and mind slowly recovered.
She slowly opened her blue eyes and blinked several times.
She saw twelve middle-aged men in shabby armor, surrounding her, and she didn't say a word since she opened her eyes.
"You, hello. Lycia said hello timidly.
Then I heard the sound of clattering iron pieces joining each other.
"Say it first!" said the man with a suit of rust-red armor stuck at his waist and pointing to the black armor. "We've been talking about it for a long time. ”
Lycia got up and sat down in the middle of the twelve knights, looking around and overhead.
It was dark and swarthy everywhere, but the faces and armor of the knights could be clearly seen, and there seemed to be a few shriveled horses in the distance.
"Ahem. The black-armored knight took a step forward. "Hello, little friend, I am a friend of your father, and I have met you several times. ”
Lycia nodded. "I remember you, but then you didn't come. ”
"Ah, because your power has changed, and you've become the same as Kaguya. The knights chattered, acquiescing to Lycia's acceptance of her father's knight of Kaguya.
Lycia felt a little happy and satisfied, and she felt the kindness and love of the twelve knights for her.
"It's the same with the woman who wants to kill you, she's actually your aunt, in a sense. The knight said.
"Auntie, Futespa?" cried Lycia in disbelief.
"Not by that name, right? Olivier, I don't remember calling it by that name. "The shortest of the knights was also dressed in black armor.
"Fontespa? I haven't heard of that name. "The knight's face was dark, and his nostrils turned outward, and his nostrils moved twice as he spoke.
Lycia found herself sitting up, and the bulging stone bed had become a stone bench, and she lowered her legs just enough to step on the ground.
"Did she say the one who killed the Knight Knight in the past?" Lycia didn't call the Knight Knight her father.
"yes, perhaps, she's a lot like the scent of floating gold. The knight said. "Why don't you call Kaguya Daddy, hahaha I knew little Lycia wouldn't admit Kaguya. ”
Lycia's face was full of helplessness, she really couldn't accept what they said for the time being.
Cranda Campbell and Kaguya Knight, how did these two get together?
"I don't understand, why does the Night Knight have children?" Lycia asked, puzzled, gesturing to herself. "And that kid is me? I can't take it. ”
"Hahaha. It's very simple, Kaguya married your mother, and your mother gave birth to you, it's very simple. ”
Kaguya said that when he met a beautiful girl, he fell in love. ”
"Yes, we were able to get in touch with Kaguya at that time, and even discussed going out to his wedding. ”
"But did the wedding take place in the end?"
。。。。
Lycia listened to the knights' discussion for several minutes before she could not resist interrupting.
"So my real father is really Kamen Knight?" Lycia said.
"Of course!" said twelve voices clamoringly.
"Understood. "Sure enough, it is not a simple identity, how can there be such a good thing in this world, it is simply chosen by God as the inheritor of the will.
So God also has a preference, a preference for His own daughters, a preference for the poor people He meets.
"Do you know the people on the other side?" asked Lycia, "have you seen all of them during the Holy War?" ”
The Twelve Horsemen looked at each other. "What jihad?"
"Oh! little Lycia is talking about the time when we were framed by Floating Gold. ”
"yes, yes. Little Lycia?"
Lycia's brain hurt from the noise, no one called her Little Lycia when she was so big, and at first she felt a little hot in front of her, as if she was pampered.
Listening to it too much will inevitably be a little numb.
"Well, yes. Lycia bowed her head maturely.
"The people on the other side are very weak people, they have no magic power, they can't perceive the resonance of all things, and they always arm themselves with the help of external objects. One of the knights commented.
Lycia thought that at that time, it should indeed be a person who was not worth mentioning for the knights.
"If it weren't for the fact that the floating gold framed us and made the thorns misjudge, they would have dragged the people on the other side into the Eye of the Dead Sea, but they would have dragged us in by mistake. She also stabbed Kaguya with a sword. One of the knights said resentfully.
Lycia listened with great interest to their account of the Holy War. "Did the Eye of the Dead Sea already exist? ”
"Yes, we cannot escape, only God can escape. ”
Lycia pointed to herself. "So can I?"
The twelve horsemen nodded in unison. "Of course you can, Kaguya was originally the only god who was still conscious, you are his child, of course you are a god. ”
"Isn't she a god?" Lycia thought of Futespa, who was clearly a godhead too.
"Floating Gold, she is a false god, originally a cloud next to the sun, stealing the divine power of the sun god who is no longer conscious, she is not worthy of being called a god!" the twelve knights were very angry at the mention of floating gold.
"Clouds?" Lycia thought of Futespa's abilities, floating, clouds, rain and thunder, all of which were related to clouds, so Futespa should be what they called floating gold.
"Cloud. The knights nodded, "She's also taken Kaguya's power, it's really sinister." ”
But in the end, he was punished. ”
Lycia asked curiously, "What retribution?"
"After Kaguya's death, the moon disappeared from the sky, and she was forcibly replaced by the moon. The knight said. "So the moon in the sky is golden, and it is not the moon, but a cloud of floating gold, which reflects the brilliance of the sun god. ”
It dawned on Lycia that this was the reason why the moon was golden.
"So. Lycia said word for word, "Maybe Fontespa is just a part of the floating gold?"
The knights nodded and applauded.
"It's really little Lycia, brilliant reasoning. ”
Lycia cleared her throat uncomfortably and said, "So the divine power she wanted in the end still didn't get it, and not only that, but the power of the Thorn Empire didn't belong to her, but to the owner of the Dragon Crest." ”
"Little Lycia is talking about the Dragon Rider. The knights discussed it again.
"Since that time, there has been no Kalaya, and those who have the power of things have begun to claim to be the masters of the continent. ”
"And the empire?"
"And you only tell your family to learn magic?"
"As Kaguya said last time, people were divided into two kinds, and they carved the mark of the former beast into their blood. ”
"Some people turn into monsters. ”
Lycia listened in a daze, she knew that the Empire of Thorns and the Holy War were long, long years ago, but listen to the knights.
At the time of the fall of the Kamen Knights, the Empire of Thorns was a completely different scene.
