These books with ancient secrets were thrown into the basement by those fools, but the ancient academy treats ancient books as garbage, what a great irony, if I don't do anything, we will become slaves or even die, I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to die with those stupid people! It's sad that people still think that they will have a peaceful life, am I the only one who sees the truth in these ancient books, I am going to leave these ancient books here, waiting for someone as prescient as me to discover these secrets, I must act, it will be too late!

- "Lin Jie's Notes"

He had returned to the familiar royal city, with its white walls and magnificent palaces, but there was no one left here, for he believed that by the time he had left five hundred years ago, it had fallen apart, or he would have slaughtered everyone he saw until it was done. The place he wanted to flee from was his destination, and he was one of the people he hated at the beginning. Now, he has abandoned his original name and completed his mission with his dark legion, carrying the name of Tanatos, the Lord of the Plague.

The thick door of the council hall was pushed open, and the stairs in front of the hall were filled with his own soldiers, black armor, soldiers wearing hideous helmets, and he walked in alone, looking at the throne before him, and the king still sat in his human form, but long dead.

"What does great power mean to a small human being?"

Tanatos slowly walked to the throne, wanting to enjoy the comfort of sarcasm.

"Man will eventually die, only the shadow of darkness will remain, the sun will fall, only darkness will be eternal,"

Behind the door came a thin, wobbly figure, speaking an ancient prophecy, dressed in ill-fitting robes, with no face visible, only arms shriveled like withered branches, pointing to the king's body on the throne, "Everything is old, everything is a miserable failure, do you see the crown, shining, still shining that is the crown of the sage, I can regain my strength when I get it, go to Tanatos!"

Tanatos walked to the throne, took the crown, and suddenly drew his magic sword, Doomsday Frost, and destroyed the old king's body and throne with a sword.

"How dare you do this to my father, I will only let you take the crown!" the robed man coughed violently, as if he was about to exhaust his own life, and he fell to the ground, his body trembling.

"Prince Oran, the crown has already been obtained, why should you be so angry with a dead man," said Tanatos, with a smile in his tone.

"The Wingless King asked you to assist me, but you are disobeying me, don't you want to live?!" The thin body, but still has the strength to roar, "Without me, you can't unlock the secret of the Crown of the Sage, only Winter's bloodline can control the power of this crown, do you want to betray me?" Although his body was extremely weak, the prince tried his best to show a hint of a leader.

Raising the Doomsday Frost in his hand, Tanatos walked towards Prince Oran, "It seems that you are still an idiot, but you are doing well, then, you can die." ”

"Put down the sword, kill me, and you won't get the power of the crown," Prince Oran gasped violently, he was even more surprised in horror, he looked at the blade that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly felt suffocated, "Don't kill me, I'm Winter's last bloodline, I can't die, don't kill me!"

"Winter's bloodline, you're not alone, look at who I am!" Thanatos retracted his sword from his sheath, took off his dragon-shaped helmet, exposed his face, and grabbed Prince Oran's neck with one hand, his body like a dead wood looked like it was about to shatter, and he was speechless, or he was so shocked that he couldn't realize that life was slowly draining away.

Like throwing a piece of paper, he threw the dying Prince Oran to the ground, and while watching him slowly die, he took the sage's crown with him, "This world is mine, not theirs, and certainly not yours." ”

Prince Oran left this world with an incredible and permanent mystery, and the residual breath seemed to exhale a name, and that name was a great mystery.

"Don't go to her, O...... Many....... ”

Tanatos miscalculated, he should not have killed Prince Oran immediately, because the crown on his head did not have any effect, nor did he feel great power, everything was irreparable, he misunderstood the meaning of Winter's bloodline, and everything went off track perfectly.

"How do I explain to the Wingless King," Tanatos pondered, "Orlan won't let me go to her, there is one more person in this world who knows this secret, and that is another Winter bloodline, Princess Shuyi-Elsa, Oran, you are really stupid." After planning in his heart, Tanatos walked out of the council hall and led several of his subordinates down the long staircase towards the sage spirit temple in the southernmost part of the royal city, "Maybe there is one last person in this spirit temple." ”

As Tanatos said, there is still the last person in this royal city in the temple of the sage, Charlotte the Martyr, who is the priest of the main god Ang and Yi, she is determined to serve the main god for the rest of her life, and in the face of the decline of the royal city and the death of the old king, she cannot and cannot redeem them, she can only guard the temple of the sage with her own body and pray for the dead. Charlotte was praying at the altar in the temple when darkness pushed open the door and brought light to the dark room. The ugly-looking soldiers surrounded her and killed her at the slightest movement. But the picture suddenly froze, and Charlotte was still whispering the scriptures, as if he didn't care about the dark soldiers looming over him. One of the soldiers drew his long sword, black all over and of extremely poor workmanship, walked up to the priestess and raised his sword, as he had killed countless unarmed villagers and captives, without mercy or hesitation.

This time it was different, he didn't notice that Charlotte, though a priest, was dressed in the armor of the royal guard, and had a rapier on his left hand, and before the sword in his hand fell, the swiftly unsheathed rapier ended his dirty and vile life. Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers rushed forward and prepared to deal with their opponents like the knights they had killed before, but this time they were wrong. In a flash of lightning, seven dark soldiers fell to the ground. The remaining soldiers could only retreat, knowing that they could not win.

The tension was suddenly broken by an untimely applause from the Demon King, Tanatos, "The swordsmanship of the royal guards is indeed excellent, but a butcher with blood on his hands can pray, even pray for those you have killed, take off your mask of hypocrisy, you are just like us." ”

These words hit Charlotte's weakness, in order to atone for her sins, she decided to serve the Lord God and pray for those who died, just as Charlotte lost his mind, one of Tanatos' generals saw the opportunity to knock Charlotte's sword away with a soldier's black sword, and then pointed the tip of the sword to her throat, and a disgusting voice came from her mouth: "Knight Tucker Ramos challenges you!"

Charlotte found that her opponent did not take the opportunity to end her life and seemed to want to duel her, a man who was either extremely conceited or extremely stupid, because she believed that her swordsmanship would not lose to anyone. And when the duel began, she realized that her opponent's swordsmanship was not below her, and the guy with the disgusting voice seemed to be getting braver and braver the more she fought.

Just as her opponent showed a flaw, she stabbed with a sword, and she fell into the trap of the black knight Tucker, who unleashed a deadly attack with his left armour without a sword, and quickly slashed Charlotte's sword-wielding left hand with the black sword. The victory and defeat have been decided, and Charlotte may not escape death.

"Where is Rolsa, if you say it, you can consider sparing your life". Tanatos approached Charlotte.

"The glory of the Lord God, the sun full of radiance, gives me the power to drive away darkness and be merciful. ”

Charlotte's golden armor shone with the most terrifying light of the dark, through this holy art, Charlotte quickly fled from the temple, suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her back, the plague lord's three darts interrupted her spell, fortunately she had escaped from the encirclement, she still had the strength to leave!

Tanatos motioned not to use a bow and arrow, "She will take me to Rolsa." ”
