In the year 331 of the new calendar, the year of the beginning of the catastrophe, in the Twilight Mountains of Aldrich's Western Regions, endless undead spirits rose from the abyss that had been calm for hundreds of years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info they obeyed the orders of the demons, and traveled with the demons, bringing the plague and the slaughter that symbolized death to the city of the sun, to Gohrin, to Belle, and finally to the whole of Therland.

Angus led three thousand knights to brave the heavy rain to climb a hill, this team was opened by a banner embroidered with the sun and the cross sword, the knights were dressed in armor, gray mounts, they were the famous [Knights of the Sun] of the Kingdom of Thorland, Angus was the deputy head of this knighthood.

He stood on the hill of Horse, looking down on the land of Belle, which had been ravaged by the undead, and the green fields had been scorched by the flames of war and melted into the gray sky. The old town was in ruins, the bones were buried in the ruins, the howling mountain wind was mixed with the desperate cries of the refugees, and the undead in the town of Belle were cheering loudly.

Overhead, the sky thundered and rained, and behind him came the neighing of horses, and it was the captain of his personal guard who led several knights to escort a caravan full of wounded men who had fled from the town of Belle, most of them the powerful and wealthy people of the town, among them the retired knight of Thran, Lord Bass.

"I'm sorry, Bass, we're late. Angus rode his horse to the carriage, and he looked apologetically at the knight, who was older than himself. Bas used to be his excellent subordinate, because he was too old to kill the enemy with a sword, so he retired to Belle to recuperate, but he didn't expect to catch up with this undead catastrophe.

The undead invaded very quickly, and when Angus led the knights of Thrand to come to their aid, Belle had already been captured by the undead, and he could only watch as the ancient town was burned and destroyed. The number of undead is too much, and he alone can't fight against these three thousand knights, all he can do is to rescue the escaped refugees and lead them back to Thran, after all, after the undead break through Belley, the sword is directly aimed at the Thran Kingdom.

"Don't say that, sir, these are the brutes who have long since died!" Bas clenched his fists, his muscles bulging and his face turned blue, he saw with his own eyes the brutal slaughter of the people of Baile, but could do nothing.

"I swear by the sword in my hand, they will pay for it!" Angus promised, "Prince Kyle has gathered an army of fifty thousand men on the border, and if the undead invade the border, they will not return." ”

"Is it Prince Kyle himself leading the army?" Buzz recalls the end of his knighthood, when Prince Kyle had just entered the Knights of the Sun as an adult, and all the knights respected and loved him. Not because of his royal status, but because of his unique charisma, he is as warm as the sun.

He is incomparably excellent, has a wise mind, and has the best martial arts, and people say that he is the resurrection of the great knight King Therland, and all the knights are willing to be born and die for him, and people call him "the sun of Therland." ”

"The sun of Thran is going to shine brightest this time!" said Buzz's eyes, eager to return to his high-spirited age, follow Prince Kyle, and fight the undead with his sword.

But there is no going back, he is old, he is full of old diseases, and he is no longer the warrior he was back then. He would be out of breath now for even the slightest walk, let alone fight for his life on the battlefield.

"By the way, is this the boy you said you were talking about?" Angus noticed Rune lying on Bass's lap, he was so tired, the Followers Knights had been busy all day, and now he was exhausted and went into his dreams, and he was snoring slightly.

"His name is Lune, and it's because he came to tell us that so many of us fled. Looking at the sleeping Rune, Bas had a kind smile on his face, the boy had finally passed his test, and from Rune he seemed to see himself in his youth, as fearless and firm as he convicted.

"His dream was to be a knight of Thran. ”

"I think he'll make it happen, he'll be a real knight!"

......

"Hey, Veblen, get up for me!" the girl pinched the soft flesh of the boy's cheek and kneaded it into various shapes.

Wiblen reluctantly opened one eye, glanced at his enemy, ignored it, turned his head and continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.

Seeing that Veblen ignored herself, the girl's eyes rolled and she turned around and shouted, "Lord Asteul, you see that he only knows how to sleep lazily, and he can't help at all!"

"Then eat him at noon. "The demon is very simple.

Hearing this, Veblen jumped up, glared at the girl, and flattered the demon with a flattering face, "Wise and martial Lord Astul, Wiblen has heard of your brave deeds since he was a child, and the gods have lost their color compared to your great power, my yearning for you is incomparable, and my loyalty to you can be learned, you must not listen to this woman's slander, if there is anything that needs to be served, just give orders, and you will definitely go to the soup and die in the next place." ”

"Hahaha, what you said is very good, Lord Ben is very optimistic about you. Wibrun's compliment was clearly of great use to the demon, "Now that you're resting, get up and hurry, the magic tower of Azuran is about to open." ”

"It's... Be. ”

After seeing that the demon didn't care, Veblen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the girl who was shaking goosebumps and wanted to vomit, and he threatened in a low voice: "Maysus, one day I will clean you up!"

"What a ruthless person, not long ago my sister screamed and made love, and now she turns her face and doesn't recognize anyone, are you still obsessed with the cute prank of the beautiful girl?" the girl burst into tears, "You can't blame me, if you were smarter at the time, you wouldn't have been fooled easily." ”

"You're right, it's all because I'm not smart enough, it's just Maysus, I hope you can stay smart!"

"Men are so stingy, but they can't be liked by girls. Seeing that Veblen was indifferent, Maysus smiled and stretched his face to Veblen, "Am I not pretty?"

"Pretty, you're prettier than all the girls I've ever seen, but none of them are as vicious as you!"

"Who makes the family too lonely, the demon Astu is so ugly, people can't hold it when they see such a handsome boy as you. Maysus leaned against Vebron and said with a sense of reason.

"That's why you dragged me into the water?" said Veblen, angrily, as he pushed the girl away. Oh my God, I just got the Demon Dao Seal, and I was dreaming of a bright future, but I was unexpectedly doused by the girl with a basin of water and disappeared without a trace. Now that he can't practice magic for the time being, not to mention, he has to accompany the girl to put herself in danger, and he can't wait to strangle her to death.

"But don't people say that beautiful women do the right thing, and even if they do wrong, they can be easily forgiven?" said Maysus, pointing his finger to his lips, looking like he was beautiful and reasonable.

"I'm so completely convinced, your skin is unbelievably thick. Vebron looked at the girl in amazement, and he was willing to bow down to the degree of brazenness.

The girl in front of her claimed to be the princess of the western kingdom, called Maysus, she was kidnapped by the demon Astor on the way to the north to attend the feast, Astor threatened her to help her do something to let her go, in desperation, Matesus could only agree, so she followed Astor north all the way, and now it has been a long time.

Astu is a high demon in hell, second only to the existence of the Seven Sovereigns, I heard that he offended one of the Seven Sovereigns of Hell, the demon king Azuran, in order to avoid Azuran's revenge, he wants to defect to another demon king Balor, in order to be able to get Balor's protection.

Legend has it that Balor had an eye that was tightly closed, and that his eye was full of sin and that he would suffer intensely every day, and that if it was opened, whoever it was looked at would die instantly.

Astor knew that there was a treasure that could heal Balor's eye, and that treasure was hidden in the magic tower of Azuran. The Tower of Demons is the exclusive abode of the Demon Kings, and they are erratic, sometimes in hell and sometimes in the physical realm. Estor expected that the Azuran Tower would soon appear in Menos, on the northern border, and Astor wanted to steal the treasure and give it to Balor as a gift for his defection.

But he didn't dare to do it himself, powerful creatures would be detected by Azuran if they broke into the magic tower, and only weak humans could not alarm the monsters inside, and he needed such help.

Maythus is the first helper that Astor found, he kidnapped the girl in order for her to steal the treasure for herself, and after meeting Vebron by chance, the reason why he didn't eat the boy's soul was because Astor had another thought: Meythus is just a girl after all, and he doesn't know whether he is reliable or unreliable, and the magic tower is dangerous and abnormal, if there is an accident, everything will be wasted.

In addition, he recognized the Demon Dao Seal in Vebrun's soul, and mistakenly thought that this boy was a descendant of Scamman, and there was a descendant of the seventy-two families as insurance, and the probability of success would naturally increase greatly, so with this idea, he simply let the two of them go together to steal the treasure of Azuran for themselves.

As the residence of the king of hell, the living cannot enter the Azuran Magic Tower, so the demon turned the two into "dead people", not really killed the two, but used a magical means: human beings have a body and a soul, the soul is hidden in the body, the outer is the body, and the inner is the soul, which is the so-called "outside and inside".

What Astu did was to rebel from this state of appearance and inside, to from the inside to the surface, the soul became external, the body became internal, from a living person to the state of the soul, relying on this soul state The two of them can successfully enter the magic tower.

This move can be regarded as a miserable loss to Veblen, who originally wanted to take advantage of this period to secretly learn one of the three major magic of the Scaman family, the "Mirror Illusion". This is a wonderful magic to save your life and escape, the principle is somewhat similar to the image of a plane mirror, as long as there is a relatively smooth object that can reflect its own appearance, such as a mirror, a lake, an ice cube, etc., the use of this magic can make the real and virtual displacement positions, the real person is hidden in the mirror, and the virtual body is projected to reality.

Great magic can only be performed by great magicians above the temple level, but there are some exceptions to the great magic inherited by the family, as long as he has the Demon Dao Seal, Veblen can use this bug to use it when he is still a rookie. At that time, even if he faced the high-ranking demon Astu, he would be able to escape.

It's a pity that the premise of almost all magic is to use the body as a carrier, and now it's okay, Astu has turned his body into a soul, and the soul has become a body, and all the magic theories he has mastered have been subverted, and he can't even absorb the most basic magic power, let alone want to perform great magic.

In desperation, Vebron could only follow Maysus and the demon Astul all the way north, they are now in a state of souls, and they naturally do not walk the path of the living, but belong to the dead to walk the path of the underworld. The only characteristic of the underworld road is that it is dark, and the surrounding area is dark and dreary, and it is impossible to see where the sky is and where the ground is, and I don't know where the east, west, north, south, up and down, left and right.

It was through Astor that they could know the exact location of the moment, crossing Mount Perole, passing through the Yunhai Customs and Miklepogo, and finally arriving at the northern border of the Aldrich continent - Fangmenos. The journey seemed far away, but for them it was only a few days to complete, and the underworld road was not good at anything, only one thing - fast.

Fangmenos, meaning a great fortress that will never fall, was built at the foot of Mount Sosmapo and was the frontier of humanity's fight against the dryads. To say that this side of Menos deserves the reputation of an unbreakable fortress, since the establishment of this frontier fortress, after eight hundred years of ups and downs, blocking countless invasions of the tree spirits, it has never fallen.

Fangmenos was built at the end of Mount Sosmabo, and it was facing the sea of tree spirits. The forest sea is so big and boundless that it stretches from the northwest to the northeast of Aldrich, and it is far away from the entire northern country.

This mountain is none other than Mount Sosmapo, which acts as a natural barrier to resist the invasion of the Treants. The Sosmapo Mountains stretch along the unbroken fortress of Fangmenos in the northeast to the Rohan steppe in the northwest, and there is a gap on the way, which is now the Great Fortress of Ulvas.

The two fortresses of Fangmenos and Ulvas are the front line of the northern kingdom's resistance to the invasion of the dryads. If the dryads want to invade the human realm, they naturally can't cross Mount Sosmapo, and the only way to do so is through the attacking side Menos or Urvas. Twenty years ago, the kingdom of Scaman fell because of the fall of Urvas.

On this day, outside the city of Menos, a thick fog arose in the forest at the foot of Mount Sosmapo, and if you enter the forest at this time, you can see the shadow of a building faintly in the fog, which is the magic tower of Azuran. The Tower has seven floors, and unlike ordinary buildings, it is buried underground except for the first floor, which is actually above ground.

With the appearance of the magic tower, Wiblem and his party also happened to come here.
