The quiet moonlight spread thinly in the corner of the stone house, and although the moonlight curled up in a small place, it still struggled to make a final battle with the darkness, and the two sides fought with ripples.

In the dark corner of the stone house, Deanna could only hear her heart pounding rapidly.

The black spar in the old man's hand is the item he has been looking for for ten years? Is this the steel of sin that can only be born from Noval? If the old man has it? Could it be that he has been to Noval?!

"Been there!" the old man seemed to read Deanna's thoughts, and sighed. "If there were ifs, I'd rather never use it myself, and I would never have heard of that ominous place in my life. You've been looking for Norval just to give someone someone a lifespan! That person should be the current empress of the Mu Empire, known as the Lord of the Sky - Dalia O. Narayana. Is she dying now?"

"Who are you?!" Deanna put her hands on the silver seven-stringed harp quietly, and did not deny what the old man said, but played the tune calmly.

"Why do you know these secrets? Now the only thing you're doing and trying to do is definitely kill me, to keep the secret. And then snatch this stone, won't you?" the old man stared at Deanna's fingers that kept beating on the lyre, then shook his head, and tossed the black steel in his hand a few times.

"You've inherited a lot of that woman's appearance, but you don't seem to have inherited her intelligence! The old man said with disdain. "Even if that woman came over in her heyday, she might not dare to confront me head-on, with you now, if you learn the Requiem, you won't have a chance to put your ideas into practice, let alone a mere requiem!"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Deanna's face was expressionless, only her white hands fluttered deftly on the strings. The song was beautiful but with the call of death, and the deadly notes poured from her fingers like a torrent around the old man.

"Oh, so confident?!Since I'm just a dead man in your eyes, can I ask you one more question?" the old man looked down at the black hedron in his hand, and his tone had a magic that no one could refuse. Deanna nodded her head subconsciously, but her fingers beat faster on the strings.

"When I'm dead, will you kill the children who come in later?" the old man looked at Deanna earnestly, a little blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The hand on the harp shook, and Deanna asked herself in the depths of her heart, really, really with that child...... Thinking of the little boy with those clean eyes, preventing himself from entering the desert, looking at himself in the desert, even if his legs were trembling but still not flinching, when his grandfather wanted to hurt himself, he only ate a little, even though he was hungry, so that I, an outsider, could be fed.

Originally, he thought that everything was fine, but his grandfather knew too much, because what he knew would trigger a bloodshed-coup d'état, which would affect the foundation of the empire, and he had to take action to erase this dangerous factor. But the little boy doesn't know anything, he is innocent.

Can I really do it?

"No! I'll tell him that I killed you and give him a chance to get revenge. Deanna's fingers on the strings finally stopped, shook her head and replied. There was a trace of blood hanging from the corner of the old man's mouth, and he stood there without moving. "Have you stopped breathing? Maybe you didn't hear it, but I remember the promise I made. ”

"Thank you for your hypocrisy, but alas, you don't have a chance to fulfill your promise!"

As soon as the words fell, the old man disappeared in front of Deanna out of thin air, and before even the sense of crisis rose, a sharp pain and suffocation came from her neck in the next second.

"You...... How...... ......" Deanna grasped the old man's big withered hand with both hands, and struggled desperately. Before, he was just an old man on the verge of death, and he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die under the attack of Requiem, why did he burst out with strength far more than himself at this time? Is it really as he said, that he is not on the same level as him at all?!

The old man was still as light as before, and his eyes drifted through the window into the depths of the night. It was as if he was holding a neck that was not human, and he was twisting a dying young beast. "If you don't have Requiem, don't try to hurt me in the slightest, as for me just now, I just relapsed from an old injury. Do you really think you can make me burp?"

"Hey, isn't the woman standing there coming out yet, she's going to die if she doesn't come out!" said the force in her hand, and Deanna's struggle became bigger and smaller, and the fear of death had eaten away at the nerves of her entire body. I don't want to die! My mind is slowly ossifying, and the darkness that comes from nowhere is coming like a tide, and the moment of eternal sleep is coming. Grandma, I'm sorry, I didn't finish your mission.

"Alas, Mo Xuan, I haven't seen him for 60 years, I didn't expect this kind of scene when we met again......" A figure floated into the stone house like a ghost, and at the same time, Deanna in the old man's hand was snatched up by the figure and held in his arms.

Expose your back to the old man, and let her white right hand rest against Deanna's chest. After passing through a pure force of light, Deanna, who was breathing weakly, quickly returned to normal, but fell asleep with a pale face.

"Sure enough, you are pretending to be dead! Let your descendants find something to continue their lives for themselves, while you hide in the shadows, what is your style! Should I call you Ram at this moment? Or the supreme lord of the sky? My honorable emperor!" the old man put his hands behind his back, and his tone was fiercely mocking.

"No matter what status and title I have now, I am still the Dalia of 60 years ago, the Daria who fought with everyone!" came her voice like a sand apple in the darkness, elegant and noble.

"Haha......" The old man looked crazy, laughing so much that tears flowed out, and muddy tears covered his old face.

"When did you become so shameless? Could it be that being a bullshit can only make your face thicker?" the old man smiled as his face became distorted and hideous, and the crimson mass burst out of his body. The ground beneath his feet had been scorched by the crimson force, and the air around him had been scorched to the point of boiling by the force.

Mo Xuan...... I know that no matter what, I can't get away with my mistakes. You could have easily killed me before. It's okay now, but I really can't die now!If I die, this empire will fall apart, and many people will die in this transformation......" Daria put Deanna behind her, and the white light force enveloped the two of their bodies in it, confronting Mo Xian's crimson force.

"Can't die? You can't die? Agata deserves to die?Yegufreel is dead?They can all die, why can't you die!?Do you really think you're the emperor?" Mo Xuan was furious, and the crimson mass seemed to sense his anger, and suddenly rose again, immediately spreading towards Daria.

When the two different textures are entangled and blended, there is no sound, only a halo of light from time to time at the junction. The objects in the stone house were immediately covered by the halo and immediately turned into fine yellow sand, except for the thick wooden cane that the old man threw away, which was made of no material, and was not affected by the halo in the slightest, and lay quietly on the ground.

"You take this thing and get out of here with this little girl!" Mo Xuan suddenly withdrew his hand and threw the black steel to the ground. He lowered his head and picked up his thick wooden cane, waved his hand, and gave the order to evict the customer. But how can that posture look like a fly......

Daria, who had expected countless results, was stunned, she didn't expect Mo Xuan, who was still gritting her teeth just now, to do such an inconsequential thing. In fact, at this time, Daria wanted to ask him, "Is your mental condition okay?" and she didn't have time to withdraw the mass that flocked to the old man, so she forcibly changed direction and guided her out of the window. The white force immediately flew into the sky, and suddenly a strong white light burst out above the town, and the light was even more dazzling than the midday sun in the town, which made the people who were still wandering around the town stunned and confused.

"I'm dying of old age, but at least I'm in good spirits. Thank you for your hypocritical concern!Also, stinky woman, get out of here!" Mo Xuan pointed to the window, "How to climb in, how to get out!"

"Why?" Daria clutched the black steel tightly in her hands, wondering what Mo Xuan was thinking.

"No, why, do I need to explain to you why? Just like you didn't hesitate to leave your loved ones in Noval, did I ask you why? And my grandson is about to open the door, and I don't want him to see you. Get out!"

After taking a deep look at Mo Xuan, Daria turned around and picked up Deanna, who was still unconscious on the ground. Disappear into the blurry moonlight under the window.

"Thank you! farewell, my beloved comrade-in-arms!" A sad goodbye came to Mo Xuan's ears, because both of them knew that this was the last time they would see each other in this life. But hatred cannot be dispelled at the moment of death, it is people who part, and hatred that does not go.

The old man looked out the window wordlessly, his heart indifferent. "Do you think that prolonging your life will stop this from happening? You can't stop the fate of the empire from falling apart! Anyone who has been to Norval will be cursed, and the more you value it, the more it will be torn apart! The proud eyes of Huster have long since gone blind, and of course this curse will be fulfilled on you, and your empire will be in the dust of history!"

......

A herd of camel caravans is moving rapidly in the Weeping Desert, and the supplies on the camels' backs are unloaded and empty. Even if the leader tore open his throat and shouted, and waved the whip in his hand high to hit the hunchback, it still did not help. Every camel is already foaming at the mouth, after all, they only have four hooves.

The howling storm lifted the yellow sand high, blowing the dunes as they migrated forward, chasing after the lowly microbes who were trying to flee for their lives in front of them.

Two years ago, Yoria, a small town on the edge of the desert, was hit by a once-in-a-century sandstorm, which swept through the town, burying the town's past prosperity under the yellow sand.

Most of the remaining people rebuilt their homes not far from the original site of the town, and every year they went to pay respects to their deceased relatives under the yellow sand.

Dusk fell, the blood-red sunset was constantly rolling and burning in the sky, and the people who worshiped their relatives had long since left. The living think about tomorrow, and the dead sleep endlessly.

The moon hung itself in the sky early, gazing at everything beneath her eyes.

On the ruins of the town stood a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a thick wooden stick erected in front of him, the only resting place for his loved ones.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving here tonight...... I want to travel around the outside world and find out what it's like to be outside of the desert. I've often heard bards say that the capital of the Mu Empire is very beautiful, and that there is a place called the Continent of Light outside of this continent that I want to see. You cherish yourself below, and I want to find my own way. Maybe this is the last time I'll see you, and maybe I'll die on the way, but I don't regret it. ”

There was a long silence after that, and when the moon rose to the highest point of the night, Mochen walked his own steps in the direction of the capital of the empire to Hiraniblah, and began his long journey.
