"Chronologically, this should be the last message you'll ever receive." The King of the Sand Thieves thought for a moment and said to his two children. Hannah slowly lowered her gun, "Not a phantom this time?"

"It's not a phantom, it's a message from His Excellency the Sand Pirate King. Jonah confirmed.

Danny Stewart snapped open his eyes, "Dead Daddy?"

"Danny Boy!" laughed the director of the madhouse, "I know that Elvish language has no problem with you at all, you kid has a talent for languages since he was a child, are you interested in becoming a linguist in the future?"

"Dead Daddy, you're not dead, when are you going to come with us to see the fireworks on the water......" Danny muttered deliriously. The astrologer apprentice looked left and right, and ran to the knapsack through the stationary man in black to take out the first-aid medicine, but the rucksack was frozen not only in time, but also in space, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move a bit.

The Sand Thief King's eyes became serious, "Now as a reward for you, I will tell you where you came from, and then, Hannah, Danny, you must make a choice. By the way, once the search for my legacy is initiated, the shadow of the undead will be firmly chasing after you, and those things without wisdom will not cause you much trouble, - you should know that the dagger 'Blood Dragon' is an enchanted weapon, and the 'Soul Burning' circle on it can deal direct damage to the enemy's soul, which is the best weapon against the undead of Yagu. ”

Jonah knelt next to Danny, listening and helping him plug his wounds. I don't know if it's because of the change in time scale, or if the blood in his body is about to dry up, the wound on Danny's back is just slowly oozing blood.

"The blood tornado is not in our hands, Dad. Hannah sighed.

"There are five to eight teams of Yagu undead roaming the endless sea of sand, and if you say that you are a team, you are just an undead manipulator. Those madmen sacrificed their lives, turned themselves into half-human, half-undead strange things, gained amazing strength and vitality, but lost the ability to think. The King of the Sand Thieves smacked his lips, "Don't talk about that." I will only tell you the story of the 33 Zawi people. ”

"Dead Daddy, Dead Daddy, Hannah, can you see that?" Danny exclaimed, dumbfounded. Hannah walked over to her brother and crouched down, holding his cold palm, "Yes, Danny." Stop talking, and I'll heal you, and then beat you up again as punishment for your reckless behavior. ”

"Universal calendar year 2290. The apparition of the head of the Stuart family began to recount the past, and the three young men closed their mouths in unison. Hannah picked up a large sapphire and put it in Danny's palm, and the boy of the Stuart family immediately looked satisfied and stopped humming.

"In the year 2290 of the Universal Calendar, the Zawi Empire began an unknown war. The war will not be recorded by any historical sources, nor will there be any eyewitnesses, so theoretically, it does not exist. Grand Duke Jelizavitan, who was supported by the Senate of the Zawi Empire, staged a coup d'état in the name of 'Kuang Zheng' in an attempt to overthrow the royal power, and his supporters included Prime Minister Delen Barnabas, Deputy Commander of the First Central Army, Count Barouch, and Grand Knight Isaacchios, Commander of the Golden Hammer Legion. ”

Hearing a few familiar names, Jonah couldn't help but look up at the King of the Sand Thieves, for fear of missing every byte of this secret. As he had just said, it was true that the coup d'état had not been circulated in any form, and it was not recorded in any of the texts read by the astrologer's apprentices, nor was it ever mentioned by the teacher Koshava.

"Emperor Maximilian II immediately mobilized his troops to quell the rebellion, and in addition to the guards of the royal city, which were directly under his control, there were also Field Marshal Fein Stewart, commander of the Raven Corps, Langdon Schmidt, commander of the Broken Spear Cavalry, Commander of the Rapid Action Force 'Broken Spear Cavalry', and Countess Rhea Biyanka, Minister of the Interior. The King of the Sand Thieves calmly spoke the names of his old companions, names familiar to the Stuart siblings.

Hannah's expression was unfazed, and Jonah could not tell the joy or sorrow on her face, but the astrologer's apprentice had already understood when he heard this, that the thirty-three Zawi were the victims of the coup, the overthrown royalists, the losing side of a non-existent war.

"Everybody says the Imperial Navy is a stupid idea. "No one thinks there is any point in building warships in the narrow veins of the Zawi Empire and the closed Lake of Gizel except Emperor Maximilian II, and these super-battleships with a length of four hundred feet, five masts, eighty cannons, and five hundred broadside soldiers can only swim in the inner lake to show off the majesty of the empire to the Zawi people." However, His Majesty the Emperor has told me that he has a grand goal, which is to one day sail the battleship along the river all the way east, and finally sail on the 'Sea of Divine Blessing', to find the holy site at the center of the world, and to find evidence of the existence of Razi, the god of war and blacksmiths. ”

"Hey, Lord God Luta bless......" Danny chuckled, and Jonah quickly grabbed a handful of pearls and shoved them into his hand, quieting the delirious guy.

"Before His Majesty's grand goal was realized, the war began, and my battleship became the most terrifying weapon of war, -- who else dares to say that the Imperial Navy is a joke? After just three days of fierce fighting, the rebels and us formed a battle situation of confrontation across Lake Kizel, several attacks by the First Central Army and the Golden Hammer were repulsed by the heavy artillery fire of the battleships, and the large-scale fire magic of the battle caster sank two battleships, but our side killed the head of the caster, The seventh-level Grand Magician, Menakmaher, made them lose the ability to raid again. The King of the Sand Thieves looked proud, and there was a rain of fire in his eyes that had fluttered in his eyes.

"Menacmach, the head of the Battle Spellcaster, I've seen him, he's still alive, but now he's only a fifth-level archmage. Jonah was puzzled, he was impressed by the red-robed mage he had seen in the Miracle Meadow that could levitate in the air, it didn't look like a dead man anyway.

The former Imperial Marshal, of course, did not answer his question, "After a whole week of stalemate, His Majesty the Emperor and the Grand Duke of Jelizavitan reached an armistice, and under the mediation of the Senate, began talks on the issue of differences. You need to know the reasons for the rebels to go to war. From the day the 'Red Brotherhood' was born, the Zavi Empire has been a loyal apostle of the Brotherhood, from the time of Heinrich I until the reign of His Majesty Maximilian II, the Zavi Empire has carried out the mission of the Brotherhood and fulfilled the promise of the Red Two-Headed Bird. It can be seen from the coat of arms of the Maximilian family that the coat of arms of the royal family is centered on the two-headed bird. ”

The Stuart siblings did not react in particular, nor did they notice that the astrologer's apprentice's body stiffened. Red two-headed bird. Jonah's fingers trembled slightly, and the light of the illuminated star array fluctuated in light and dark.

"The 'Red Brotherhood' is a very mysterious organization, no one knows who founded it, how it operates, and what terrible resources it has, not even His Majesty the Emperor himself has met the current head of the Brotherhood, only the Western Continent agent of the Brotherhood's president during the ceremony. The King of the Sand Thieves shook his head, as if feeling a little funny, "A few years ago, the Red Brotherhood issued a message announcing that the 'blood of heresy' had descended on the world, and the Brotherhood's highest course of action since then is to find those who possess the blood of heresy and eradicate them in order to maintain the stability and purity of the world. ”

No one made a sound, and only the voice of the Admiral echoed in the treasure cave that froze time and space.

"Soon after His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, an extremely tragic investigation campaign was launched in accordance with the instructions of the Brotherhood. All the subjects of the Zavi Empire were swept away, and since the accuracy of detecting the magic circle was not high, the Red Owl Brotherhood instructed that all those who reacted to the magic circle should be executed. Within two years, nearly 50,000 Zawi had died on charges of heresy. At that time, not only the Zavi Empire, but also the kingdoms of St. Borun and Bazelar joined this evil campaign, and the entire Western Continent was plunged into a bloody storm. The Sand Thief King's voice was gloomy, "After that, His Majesty the Emperor began to waver in his heart, and became suspicious of the purpose and methods of the Red Brotherhood. Eventually, His Majesty the Merciful Emperor decided to withdraw the Zawi Empire from the Brotherhood organization, submitting the proposal to the Senate in preparation for an official announcement at the Brotherhood's Full Moon ceremony the following year. This move angered the die-hard faction within the empire, and Grand Duke Jerizavitan, himself a staunch member of the Brotherhood and a high-ranking member of the Council of the Western Continent, resolutely opposed His Majesty's decision, which eventually led to a civil war. ”

The seventeen-year-old boy immediately remembered the memories that seemed real and illusory, the sunny hillsides of Saint-Boren, the soldiers with swords and the departed smiles of his mother......

"The Senate discourages His Majesty the Emperor from taking a long-term view and not rushing to withdraw from the Red Brotherhood. In the spirit of benevolence to his people, His Majesty Maximilian II relented and offered to promise not to withdraw from the Brotherhood during his reign, as long as Grand Duke Jelizavitan withdrew his soldiers and relinquished the First Central Army and the Golden Hammer. Speaking of this, the admiral slapped himself fiercely: "Grand Duke Jerizavitan agreed, and within three days, the rebels retreated thirty miles, and the Grand Knight Isachios personally came to the royal city to apologize, and everything seemed to be going in the best direction...... Damn, how can we trust the words of those bastard bitch-bitched politicians...... At this time, the Prime Minister Delen Barnabas secretly used the national treasury reserves and spent 300,000 gold coins to invite a man, an extremely terrifying fellow......"

"You guessed it. The King of the Sand Thieves paused, "He has brought in the King of Assassins." ”
