When Salde had killed the king in the main hall, Jack, who was trapped in the forbidden area below the center of the palace, noticed that the closed door had suddenly opened, so he took the stone in front of him with a strange light from the pedestal, put it in his pocket, and then walked weakly out of the door. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because of the limitation of his ability by the ore in his pocket, he could not use spiritual arts, and when he finally turned out of the underground labyrinth of the forbidden area, he found that the entire palace had surrendered. He went into the hall and was surprised to find the king dressed in Hissar's clothes, so he rushed forward to make an inquiry, but the "king" turned to him with a smile on his face and said, "It seems that you are all right, Jack." Jack noticed that the king was actually using Hissar's voice.

"......Who the hell are you?"

"Oh, it looks like my face has confused you, so you know!" he said, waving his hand in front of him, and his face changed back to its original appearance.

"Where's the king?" asked Jack.

"There," he said, gesturing to the faceless corpse lying under the throne, "Also, don't call me 'Hissar' anymore, the once cowardly and incompetent Hissar Delin is dead, and now I am Sald!"

"You ......" Looking at the person in front of him who called himself Salde's whole body exuded a cold breath, Jack began to realize that what the king had told him about Hisal before might be true, he didn't know how to deal with it, he suspected that he might be killed by him if he was not careful, his hand unconsciously clenched the thing in his pocket, he knew that he must not let Salde know about the existence of this thing at this moment, fortunately this thing has not shone since it was put in his pocket, otherwise it would be really difficult to hide. So he changed the subject and asked Salde, "What are you going to do next?"

"The next thing is to choose a new king," said Salde, and Jack knew he must want to be king himself, but what he said next was far beyond Jack's expectations—"I have thought that you are the only one who is best suited for this position." ”

"What?!I?!no, no, no, I'm not fit for this, I've always hated power and reputation, I just want to be free!" Jack refused with a wave of his hand, wondering what the hell was Salde up to, or if he hadn't completely gone bad?

"You've been helping me since I met you in Arelasin, and you're the only friend I'm now in Miller, so I trust you only and you are the only one who can be King of Miller!" said Salder sincerely.

"I ...... Well, I'll make you king for the time being, I promised before that I would help you change the status quo of this country, so please help you too. Jack didn't know what would happen if he rejected Salder again, he knew that Salde had a dark side, so it was better to provoke him as little as possible, and with the limit of his power from this thing in his pocket, he couldn't compete with Salde at all.

At this time, a Miller guard came in to report that the Vasilian warriors who had been under the control of the previous king had been captured, and asked what to do with Salde.

"All of them!" said Salde, coldly.

"What?!!How can you ...... And what about Roy? What did you do with Roy?" Jack exclaimed.

"Roy, he has been killed by me because his stubbornness has hindered my path. "All potential threats must be eliminated as soon as possible, Your Majesty, don't make it difficult for you!" said Salder as he changed back to the king's face, and the hole in his left eye stared at Jack, who looked at the black hole and felt as if he had fallen into it, and kept falling, never falling to the bottom.

"The first thing that will change Miller is to let us destroy the water source that controls the whole country!" said Salde, gesturing the guards to take him to the source of the water. Jack knew that he was just his puppet king, he had to get out of here as soon as possible, the farther away the better, he didn't want to be with this cruel demon anymore, he needed a chance to escape.

This opportunity is two years to wait.

Because Salder had been keeping a close eye on him as a puppet king for the past two years, he had no way to escape, but the ore that the previous king had used to control the crowd and create a black light that could wipe out a single person in an instant had not been discovered by Salder. After two years as a puppet king, he also had a certain understanding of Thalder's purpose, and he learned that Thalder's ultimate goal was to overthrow the gods of the Sanctuary and make himself the new god above the gods, but he knew that he still lacked power, so he had been searching for something with great power. Salde is now the archmage of Miller's kingdom, using the face of the previous king, for the sake of beauty, he wears an eyepatch on that terrifying left eye, since the king has never been out of the palace area, so no one knows that his face once belonged to the king, and the guards who witnessed him killing the king and taking his face in the main hall were all killed by him. Due to his quest for the power to reach the gods, he carried out a radical transformation of the entire Black Light Castle, he abolished the processing zone used to ensure economic trade, replaced it with a magic research area, and he also drove out the residents of the castle, slowly erasing the ministers who used to be in power in the royal palace, and replaced them with various mages he had cultivated, studying spells day and night. Finally, one day, he learned that there was a scroll containing ancient prophecies about the gods in Vasilian.

So he took a few mages with him and set out on his own journey to Vasilian to find the Prophecy Scroll. And Jack finally has a chance to escape from Salde's surveillance and start working on an escape plan. Although Salde is no longer in Miller when he goes to sea, there are still many cronies and mages that Salder has carefully cultivated in Miller to perform the duty of surveillance in his place, so Jack is doubly careful in his every move. He brought with him the small box that had been sealed several times, and the box contained the mysterious stone that he had not been able to figure out so far. He left the castle and ran into the forest beneath it, he knew that he could not go out to sea without a ship, and he could not swim back, but he could not continue to watch Salder continue to do evil in front of the puppet king for his plan to overthrow the gods, he had to find a way to escape, although for now he could only run aimlessly around the forest.

Jack walked intuitively in the forest, and unconsciously came to a cave, which he noticed was very old, surrounded by weeds and moss, and the outer walls of the cave also left traces of time. He walked into the cave and found that the walls of the cave were full of all kinds of strange words that he couldn't understand, but under the last line of words, he found a row of words that he could understand that were later added - "Go to the center of the circle, and use the spells of light-water-wind-light attribute in turn", these words also looked for a certain number of years, and an arrow was added below, he followed the arrow's pointing to find it, and sure enough, he found a circular circle drawn on the ground. He didn't know what the words meant, but now that there was no other way, he had to try everything he could to escape from here. So he followed the instructions of the text, stood in the center of the circle, and began to recite the incantation silently in his heart, when he had just finished reciting the last spell of the light attribute spell, he found that the circle suddenly emitted a strong light, stabbing his eyes from opening, and at the same time, he also felt that his body seemed to be sucked up by some kind of force, and then his eyes went black. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still in the cave.

"What the hell is the point of this thing......" he muttered to himself, only to realize that he was not in the same cave as before, there was no text on the wall of this cave, only the same circle on the ground.

"Could it be—" Jack ran out of the cave in ecstasy, and found himself in a dense forest, and he was sure that this was not Miller, because there were no trees that could not grow on the land of Miller in the cold zone, and this kind of tree was the most common in Vassilian, and the Death Forest not far from the city of Lori was said to have a large area of these trees. "Is this Vasilian's Forest of Death?"

Jack's suspicions were soon confirmed, as he saw a figure in a robed robe approaching him. I heard the blond man shout to him, "Who are you, and why are you in the depths of this forest of death?"

"You're ......" Jack looked at the mage in front of him, he felt a little familiar.

"Bennison Storm, Archbishop of the Vasilian Kingdom, is dressed so noblely, you must be some kind of nobleman, how did you get here through the mysteries of this forest?" asked Bennison, and then Jack noticed that he was still wearing the luxurious robe he wore when he was the puppet king, and had fled in such a hurry that he didn't have time to find another clothes to change into.

"You're the former archbishop who went to Miller for a spell exchange?" Jack suddenly forgot that he was in the world of eighteen years ago, he had heard about the former archbishop before, but he hadn't seen it.

"I'm the current archbishop, and we don't have any spell exchanges with Miller right now. Bennison wondered.
