"Hey, recruit, get me some water!" said Sir Adolph Hoyle, lying in a hammock in his tent at camp Laconia, to Sam, who had just passed by the curtain and had finished throwing out the garbage. He knew www.biquge.info that this was a desert town, that there was no water nearby, that the nearest oasis was miles away, and that there was still water left in the camp, but he still called Sam like this, after all, he could only show his status as a knight, even if he was a bought knight.

"Hey, Sir has a mission for you!" Roy chimed in and shouted at Sam, who was usually unhappy with Sir Hoyle's arrogance, but having Sam as a presence that could also be used by him gave him a chance to make up for the dignity he had lost in front of Jazz.

"But...... Where is the water here......" Sam said tremblingly, it was unlucky enough to be transferred to such a place not long after he became a recruit, and he didn't have the courage to disobey the commander's orders.

"No, you don't know how to look for it!" scolded Sir Hoyle, scolding this kid from time to time for being a repertoire in these boring days.

"Yes, Lord Sir......," Sam muttered quietly, cursing in his heart that Hoyle would not die well, but he obediently set out to find water. Sam didn't know how long he had been in the desert, or maybe not at all, for he had no concept of time at all, whether the hot and dry weather had interfered with his judgment, or whether he had no time to care about time because he was thinking about the damned sir's death, and when he finally found an oasis, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"I found it!" said Sam, and jumped into the pool, which was too hot to stand, and Sir Hoyle didn't say what he wanted water for, even if he had taken a bath in it, he wouldn't have known. Thinking so, Sam began to close his eyes and enjoy the rare coolness, but it didn't take long for the coolness to suddenly turn into a biting cold, as if ice needles had pierced his pores.

"How is this ......" Sam shivered with cold, he felt this feeling familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had experienced it, "This is obviously in the desert, how does it feel like falling into an ice cave......" Sam just thought of the word "ice cave" when he saw ice floes appear on the water surface in front of him, and the colder and colder pool water made him feel bad, and just as he was about to climb out, he felt something pick his head, and he was almost dragged out of the pool and flew into the air.

"Help, what the hell is going on!" Sam shouted in mid-air in panic, but there was no figure around. He glanced up and saw a large blood-red claw and a pair of bat-like wings—he finally remembered where he had seen it—when Vassilian was on his ship for Miller and was attacked by demons.

"Is it a dream?" just as the thought crossed Sam's mind when he felt the thing that was holding him throw him down, and he saw the sand-covered ground get closer and closer to him...... Before he hit the ground, his eyes suddenly went dark, and then he found himself sitting up in a simple and airy tent with a cold sweat on his face, and the cold sweat on his body that was scared from his dreams was about to be blown into ice particles by the cold wind.

This is the humble camp of Vasilian's remaining 10,000 warriors without the leading knights, and the warriors have set up a simple camp by the sea using the remaining materials, although they don't know what happened, they are still waiting for news from the vanguard, but there has been no response.

It's been a day since they got here somehow.

Sam remembered that the day before, after the Knights had left with a thousand vanguards, the warriors had set up camp by the sea, but before they could fully set up the makeshift camp, a strong white light enveloped them. Sam remembers that he had passed out and was here when he woke up. Everything here seemed to be very similar to the seaside where they had been before, except that there was no camp they had set up, and the trees by the sea seemed to be a little different. Could it be that the white light has turned the camp that has not yet been built? Sam was so suspicious, but now he waited for a day and did not see any response from the vanguard, which made him feel that he was afraid that he was taken to some demon world by the white light, but fortunately he had not encountered any demons so far. Instead of being battled against demons, let's go back to Laconia and do some errands for the damned Sir Hoyle.

Sam shivered as he stepped out of the tent and shook off the half-formed ice particles from his body. Because the tent was so shabby, he slept all night in his armor and cloak, perhaps the feeling in the cold and biting dream was actually the real feeling of his own body. Then he noticed a warrior on the edge of the camp, who he seemed to have seen before the fleet set sail, and Lord York had given orders to the captains of the various ships, and if he could be distinguished by the position of the station, he should have been the captain of the second warship, and Lord York seemed to have spoken to him additionally. But he hadn't seen him since the fleet set sail, and only today did he get a second chance. The captain of the No. 1 warship he was in front of his eyes was pierced through the chest by the monster's claws, and now he is still afraid to think about it. And then the captain was the boy named Regulus who had gone from being a recruit like him to a commander overnight. It seems that the captain of the second ship has much better luck than their old captain. Sam thought to himself.

Curious about what he was standing there for, Sam sneaked up from behind, and he noticed a man coming towards him from the opposite direction. Fearing that he would be discovered, he hid behind a large rock, and when the man approached, he noticed that this man was none other than Lord Gaca, the lieutenant of Lord York of their first warship. Sam remembers that since encountering the half-orc-type demon, since the arrival of Chief Marshall, he had rarely seen Lord Ghaka on the ship, and had only seen him once when he landed before. Why did Master Gaca come from outside the camp, and what did he do? These were the questions that made Sam want to stay in hiding.

"Ghaka, how are you ...... Is this your doing?" asked the captain of the second ship.

"Lord Jack, I can't hide anything from you! I am worthy of being the younger brother of Lord York, and my observation skills are not inferior in the slightest!" Gakka smiled at the man, who seemed to be called "Jack" and the younger brother of Lord York, and Sam was surprised by this information.

"Where the hell is this, what are you bringing us here for?

"You shouldn't ask 'where', you should ask 'when'. Gaca's face suddenly lost his smile, and he said seriously.

"What do you mean by that?"

"As you know, as the stewards of the core of the Church, you two brothers grew up under my nose, and although I stopped serving the Cross family ten years ago, I am still a member of the Church of Light. ”

"Getting to the point!" said Jack impatiently.

"This is not what the church meant, because my identity is not only as simple as a church member and your former steward, and this is indeed Miller, but it is Miller twenty years ago. ”

"What ?!!"

"I am the messenger of the god of time, the observer. ”

"Observer?

"I don't know if you've heard Lord York say about the Son of God, among the nine gods of the Sanctuary, the God King of the Earth, Sercius, and the God of Time, Kronos, do not have the Son of God. As a god who controls time, the god of time has a messenger in the mortal world who is different from the son of the god who comes once in a thousand years, that is, the observer. My mission is to watch everything unfold from the sidelines and make everything go according to the course of history. Gaca explained.

"Since your mission is only to observe the development of history, then why did you take us to twenty years ago?" Jack seemed to quickly accept the unbelievable fact, and Sam, who was eavesdropping on the sidelines, was already confused about the situation.

"I'm not doing anything to you, because what should have happened has already happened, just as our conversation has already happened. ”

"What has happened? We haven't talked before?" Jack also seemed to begin to understand what Gaka meant, and Gaca's words were always mysterious, as they had known since childhood.

"The shape of time does not come to an end in a straight line, we are now twenty years ago, and you at this time may still be playing in the mud in the yard of Cross's house, and you and I in the future have already had this conversation. ”

"You still haven't said why you're doing it. Jack's mind was full of questions, and he finally remembered how disgusted he had been with the butler's nagging.

"Oh, I thought you would be better than Master York, and you could easily understand the situation, but I didn't expect to fall into the torrent of the world, but it's a pity!" Ghaka seemed to have a hint of sarcasm in his words, which made Jack slightly unhappy.

"Less nonsense, to be clear!"

"To put it simply, your crossing is a historical necessity, because it is fate that you will have to make this crossing. ”

"So what we're going to happen is part of history, and it's already happening twenty years from now?" Jack asked.

"Yes, you've finally got the hang of it. Gaka laughed.

"And when are we going to get back to normal time?" said Jack as he thought of York, who knew he would be worried about his own safety, even though he had never mentioned his brother to the others, and that was to hide their origins, and to let the other knights know that they were descendants of the core of the Church that others hated and resented, and he didn't know what he would do with them. And if the world knew who they were, it would cause unnecessary trouble. It would have been York's duty to have affected the battle because he was constantly worried about him, not to mention that they now had less than a thousand warriors, so he was eager to return to him with his warriors as soon as possible, so that he could better fight the enemy.

"This is naturally after your mission is completed......" Gakka suddenly turned his back, seemingly unwilling to answer Jack's question head-on.

"What is our mission?"

"When the time comes, you'll know that you'll be heading towards Miller Center, and it's time for me to go back to my normal time trajectory, after all, as an observer, there are multiple times at the same time that I tend to disrupt time, and at this time I'm still a housekeeper in the Cross house. Gaca said.

"Are you free to travel through time, so you weren't teleported with us?"

"As I have already said, I will be here to speak to you because this conversation has already taken place, and what has happened cannot be changed, so when the light of Lord Kronus came, I knew that the time had come, so after you crossed over, I followed in your footsteps to twenty years ago, just to have this fateful conversation. And now I have to go back to 20 years later, because there is still someone who needs my guidance. ”

"Can you tell York about us when you get back and ask him not to worry too much?" asked Jack.

"I don't deliberately try to disturb the time, when the time comes, they will naturally know, you are all in Mill now, just twenty years apart, you can leave clues and marks on this island, if you can withstand the passage of twenty years without fading, they will naturally be able to find out. ”

"I see...... This is also a historical necessity, right? All the actions that we have started now have already happened. ”

"Master Jack, I'll take my leave, and you should have noticed the kid behind you, he'll be useful in this history. After Gaka finished speaking, a strong white light emanated from his body, gradually becoming transparent, and finally disappeared.

Sam hears Gaca's last words of "that kid" and knows that his whereabouts have been exposed, and is about to turn around and slip away, only to find Jack in front of him, with a smile that seems to be funny.

"Jay...... Jack ...... My lord, I ...... I didn't hear anything......" Sam stammered tremblingly.

"Oh, why would you call me 'Master Jack' if you didn't hear anything?" laughed Jack.

"Big ...... My lord, I ......."

"Okay, let's go, the warriors are still waiting for us to deliver the news, I don't know how much they can accept, let's talk to Roy first, I can save a lot of trouble with your help!" Jack pulled up Sam, who was so frightened that he was sitting on the ground, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "But I'm York's younger brother and the church affairs should be kept secret for me for the time being!"

"Yes...... Actually, I don't understand the church gods or anything......"

"Hahahaha, let's go!" Jack said, pushing Sam's back with one hand, and walking towards the camp together.
