When spring came again, Richard suddenly found that he was fifteen years old.

Fifteen years old, on the Norland continent, means adulthood. Richard is now an Rank 8 mage, and has learned all of the Tier 1 standard builds. On the other hand, Reilly has also been promoted to level nine, and last night he made his first second-order structure.

On the eve of Fateful Day, Richard and Reilly sat together, drinking tea made by Irene. Like old friends who have known each other for decades, they experience each other's feelings in silent communication.

Richard didn't make any comments about his past, only recalled all the important things, and Reilly didn't make any comments about his past, his eyes were already on the future.

When the first rays of morning light burst out of the sea, Richard said, "It's time for me to leave the deep blue." ”

"Me too. Reilly nodded, then said, "Do you have any plans?"

Richard shook his head and said, "I haven't decided yet, maybe I'm going to participate in the plane war." ”

"Count me in?"

"Cooperation?"

"Cooperation!"

The two men reached out at the same time and held them tightly together.

After the moon sank into the horizon, the fateful day came, and I don't know how many people's fates were changed on this day this year.

Early in the morning, Richard walked out of the deep blue with a few luggage and companions.

The team traveled several miles east to a branch of the Hengdong Mountains, and then set foot on the road of the Holy Alliance Empire. This junction was once the place where Richard said goodbye to the mountains and the sea, and the avenue was wide enough for four carriages to run side by side. One end of the road winds north with the mountains, and the other leads to the heart of the Holy Alliance.

Ricarle stopped his horse and looked back. At the end of the line of sight, the imposing outbuildings of Deep Blue were hidden in the mist, with only the magnificent spires looming among the clouds.

What was left in Deep Blue was not only his five years of life, but also countless precious memories and more than 20 million debts. In the final period, Richard sold the Magic Pattern Construct to Black Gold, earning more than six million gold coins to pay off part of his "debt". He treats the "Joy of Sue Helen" he has received as a debt, and is ready to pay it back to the legendary mage in the future. The gray dwarf didn't understand the boy's insistence, but he welcomed his approach.

However, even if Richard repays all his "debts" in the future, the "joy" worth more than 30 million yuan will always be the most precious treasure in his heart.

The Akmund family sent three knights to meet Richard, led by Mordred, the head of the Thirteen Knights of Gordon. The knight was dressed in a heavy black armor that looked a little old, covered with dense scars, and it was impossible to imagine how many life-and-death battles this armor had accompanied its master. The head of a devil was carved into the chest of the heavy armor, and countless slash marks destroyed it beyond recognition, but added a hideous smell to it.

Mordred rode an extremely majestic warhorse, half a meter taller than an ordinary warhorse, and it was covered in a heavy black vest with more than a dozen protruding spikes proving that this vest was more than just a defense. On the left rear side of the war horse hung a two-handed giant sword, which was a meter longer than the ordinary horse chopping sword, and it was much thicker. This murder weapon weighs more than 100 kilograms, and it has the power of opening mountains and cracking rocks with a few random swings.

"It seems that you are doing well in Deep Blue, and you have your own team. Seeing Richard's team, Mordred smiled.

Richard pointed to the two women behind him and said, "They are my followers, Erin and Minnie. ”

"And what about him?" asked Mordred, looking at Reilly with interest.

Richard hesitated for a moment and said, "His name is Reilly, and he is my partner. After a pause, he added, "And a real constructor." ”

Mordred's face changed, each constructor is the object of competition from the major giants, even if it is a quasi-constructor, it means a squad of constructor knights in ten years. For anyone in a position of power, this is a temptation that cannot be refused. And Richard said that Reilly is a real constructor, which means he can make second-order constructs!

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Reilly. I am Mordred, a knight under Lord Gordon. He nodded at Reilly and said.

Reilly made a mage salute and said, "I'm glad to meet you, mighty knight, too. ”

The two teenagers urged their mounts to run parallel to Mordred, and the knight looked at Richard's horse and then at Reilly's Kodomon, and said approvingly, "Good mount." ”

Richard rode a tall ironclad horse, only a lap smaller than Mordred's, and it looked a little uneasy, but it was still under Richard's control, alongside the other two mounts. And Reilly's Kodomon didn't react at all, and walked forward on his own.

In Mordred's opinion, any mount that can get close to his "lava" without collapsing to the ground is a good mount. You know, in countless evenly matched battles, it was Lava who was the first to inflict heavy damage or even kill the enemy's mount, allowing Mordred to return victorious. This war horse, which had bitten and kicked many powerful creatures to death, exuded a thick smell of blood all over its body, just like its owner.

Richard sat on the body of the ironclad horse, and seemed to have no sense of the bloody aura of Mordred's body, which made the latter very satisfied.

Erin and Minnie were terrified of Mordred and followed from a distance, their ironclad horses refusing to go even closer to the lava.

From Deep Blue to Faust, the team traveled more than 15,000 kilometers and took a month.

That's right, this journey ends at Faust, the capital of the Holy Alliance, the legendary city of Faust on the continent of Norland.

For the nobles of the Holy Alliance, even if they successfully entered Faust, they had only just gotten their tickets to the Game of Thrones. There is still a long way to go if you want to truly become the top-level existence of human society.

Every upstart who successfully enters the City of Legends needs to face all kinds of overt and covert exclusion and attacks for a long time, and the Akmund family is no exception. However, Gordon's ability to send his most powerful knights to meet Richard, and the extravagance of bringing two Constructed Knights as his retinue only shows that he has managed to stabilize the situation.

In Reilly's view, this was good news, but in Richard's view, the news was mixed.

When they came to the gates of the legendary city, two statues 100 meters high attracted the attention of four young people. Richard, Erin, and Minnie were all shocked by the miracle, and Reilly had a strange sense of déjà vu.

(Warriors with greatswords stand guard on both sides of the gate...... This looks like the style of the Dark Door...... Could it be that this plane was once visited by the Burning Legion?!)

Thinking of this, Reilly's face was a little ugly.

The gate of the legendary city was wrapped with many iron chains, and a giant dragon head with a diameter of more than ten meters was hung at the top of the gate. The dragon's head was dark black, covered with sharp thorns and sharp horns, and it also had more than a dozen large and small eyes. At a glance, Reilly knew where it came from.

This is the proudest trophy of the first emperor of the Holy Alliance: the Abyss Demon Dragon Dara Moa. In his heyday, the same Charles the Great gathered millions of troops into the abyss and led his seven generals into the heartland, eventually cutting off Dalamoma's head!

Charles the Great died soon after that battle, and the dragon head of Dalamoa has been hanging here, inspiring generations of powerful men to go out into the infinite void and create their own legends.

Mordred led the group to the edge of the gate square and sent their mounts into the stable. He then took the teenagers to see a model of the City of Legends.

This model hovers above a giant magic crystal, revealing every detail of the City of Legends. Floating islands revolve around Faust, drawing a clear trajectory on the model. In the center of the model, a band of light containing seven colors lies above Faust, and seven slowly rotating moons are embellished on the bands of light, which is a miniature version of the seven-stringed moon.

According to the height of the trajectory, those floating islands can be divided into seven layers. One on the first floor, two on the second floor, three on the third floor, and so on. The higher the level, the larger the area, and the closer to the legendary city in the same level, the larger the island.

Mordred said: "The families that can stand in the legendary city all live on floating islands, and the location of floating islands represents the ranking of the families. Your father's territory is located on Floating Island 3 on the seventh level of orbit. ”

Richard thought for a moment and asked, "What's the point of rankings?"

"The rankings are very significant. First of all, it determines the number and time of each year that a family can enter the Eternal Dragon Palace, and in addition, the number of families that can exist in Faust is very limited, and every time a new family successfully settles in, the last family in line will be automatically cleared out of the City of Legends, and their place will be replaced by a new family. Therefore, whenever a new family marches on Faust, the last family in line will fight to the death, and the other families will also give some help. ”

Hearing his words, Richard quickly thought of a question: "However, doesn't this mean that the new family will immediately face the challenges of other families?"

Mordred nodded approvingly and said, "So, the next few years will be the most difficult period. ”

Richard frowned, pointed to the floating island of the Akmund family, and said, "But we are not the last. ”

"That's because we broke the two families when we first marched into Faust! Your father didn't want to get tangled with those guys, so he knocked down the third floating island. So that we can be quiet for a while. And that family also deserves to be unlucky, who let them put all the elite troops on the road of our expedition?

At this time, Reilly suddenly asked, "Which floating island does the royal family occupy?"

Mordred pointed to the fourth floating island on the fifth level of orbit and said, "His Majesty Philip's palace is here!"

"Ah!" said Richard, taken aback, "this is the fifth layer! Is there a more powerful family in Faust than the royal family?"

"Of course not! Otherwise, our great Majesty Philip would not be the Emperor. In fact, the floating islands above the fifth floor are closed, and the first three floating islands on the fifth floor are also closed. Mordred said.

"Isn't there anyone going to occupy them?"

"The floating islands are all sealed, and it is only possible to liberate them if enough sacrifices are made to the Eternal Dragon. ”

"What kind of sacrifice is to be offered, and what kind of reward is to be obtained?And is there any benefit to unsealing the floating islands, or is it just one more place to live?" Richard found that he had a lot more to know.

"Well, you'll soon know the purpose of the Eternal Dragon Temple. The scheduled time is almost up, so I'll take you to your father now! It's not a good habit to make adults wait. ”
