"Light is the mortal enemy of darkness, and the murmur of the undead is the most terrifying spell on the Eternal Continent, but fortunately, they have been exiled. ”

The Revelation of Light, chapter 3, on the Gospel of Woe

It records all the heresies and darkness from ancient times to the present, including the infamous guys such as "Monarch of the Night", "Bloodthirsty Werewolf" and "King of Dry Bones", and the sharp spearhead of such a sentence in it is aimed at a group of people who have disappeared from the continent.

Once upon a time, there was a magical element on the Eternal Continent that was different from the basic elements of the Seven Systems, called 'Death'.

This kind of black-gray elf belonging to the heaven and earth once made one of the most powerful forces on the continent, the Holy See of Light, talk about it, and fear to avoid it, and in the eyes of the world, necromancers who can control this unpredictable power mean horror and evil, they are always wearing pitch-black robes, and their faces are as thin as skeletons, like the mysterious controllers behind the marionettes.

A bard once used the analogy that if the seven-line elemental magician was to seven rum flavors with different flavors, then necromancy was the legendary demon's forbidden liquor, Bloody Mary, gloomy and mellow, with a mythical overtones, exposed in the light of the setting sun, even though that existence was long gone.

That was a strong stroke in the chronicle of the mainland.

In a certain era of an era, a slaughter bloomed in the face of the rising sun, countless knights who were as hot as the sun died, their corpses turned into a place of blood, countless priests abandoned their crosses forever and followed their beliefs, all the powerful legends of the Eternal Continent disappeared on that day, the ancient four great academies were suspended, the four empires smelled the sound of joy, and some legendary families with epic myths closed their doors

The source of all sin will be severely punished in the Pure Land.

The plains of Meritan were once a field of greenery, flowers blooming in the morning glow, a little dew hanging on the verdant grass, from a distance it looked like a piece of jade dotted with pure gold and amber, after that day, blood flowed on the green earth, and among the clusters of flowers lay corpses, sword symbolizing glory and staff symbolizing wisdom scattered all over the place, some broken, some broken, some turned to ashes, this beautiful land, as if in an instant experienced a protracted war, full of devastation, corpses like mountains。

Except for those who are qualified to communicate with the gods, no living beings know what happened on that day, but history always has an account for his children, so under the negotiation of the four empires, that day is called the 'Death of the Dead'.

"It's an interesting story, much more interesting than the boring admonitions in Elder Cathedral. ”

Li Laifu closed the dark book in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were full of warm smiles, just like the aged rum brewed by the old Viscount Goulett himself, at his age, showing such a smile would only make people feel weird.

The sun shone through the mountains of yellowed books into the old attic, and the dust rose in the sunlight, they were not elves, but no one could deprive them of the right to fly, and Li Laifu did not bother to pay attention to the noise outside, especially when he heard the noble knight Ryan roaring. After expelling the ominous man', he felt even more bored about the place outside the attic, for he had been shouting for several days, and still no one paid attention to him, shaking his head and smiling, the seven-year-old simply continued to flip through the mysterious book in his hand.

"What would have happened if the book had been seen by the priests at Elder Cathedral?"

Li Laifu's eyebrows suddenly raised: "It is estimated that they will tie me to the cross and burn me to death, anyway, they haven't done it for so many years, it's that they haven't done it all these years." ”

No longer bothering with these unimportant questions, Li Laifu had to prepare to leave here, because he heard the magnetic voice of the old butler Troy, and without thinking too much, the old fox must have fooled the silly and silly Ryan to patrol with a smile on his face.

Standing up, then sitting down again, Li Laifu propped his chin with his left hand and made a pensive expression.

Footsteps began to sound, and the forged silver thick-soled boots pounded on the ground, and the old butler drew closer and closer to the attic.

"Squeak"

The old-fashioned door panel did not disappoint Li Laifu, and this time it still insisted on not giving up on itself and falling down. I really don't know what kind of strength this plank has kept it going for so many years, and its seniority in this mansion is estimated to be even older than that of the old viscount.

His eyes and thoughts were taken away from the door, and sure enough, the old butler Troy was already standing outside the door, squinting and smiling at Lord Max Emery.

"Little Emery, I heard that something interesting happened during my absence, and you got something strange, didn't you?"

Troy asked with a smile, the dark robe seemed to cover everything about him, not only his body, but also his soul, this time he didn't have any polite words, but said his intentions straight to the point, as a not very ordinary housekeeper, he has realized that what happened this time may not be a simple thing.

Li Laifu blinked his eyes, reluctant to return to reality from the state of a contemplative, stood up, he took a black book in his hand and shook it a few times at the old butler, and said: "Senior, this is what I got, maybe you will be very interested in it, but I can't show you, because you came in without knocking, which disturbed my thinking and study." ”

The old butler touched his chin with interest, and said in a tone of helplessness: "If little Emery insists on this, I am not reluctant, I believe you will not make some uncertain decisions, but I also want to ask, where did that strange person go?"

The strange person can only be the beggar who emits a special smell with a crystal ball in his arms.

"Gone, Uncle Silver Knight was thrown on his heels, and it seems that he doesn't even know where to throw the long sword. ”

Li Laifu replied nonchalantly, and by the way, he mocked the noble knight who had been clamoring for him to get out of the way.

After all, it's not a mockery, because that's the case, as a silver knight, Ryan couldn't hold up on the beggar's hand for a round and was put down, although he gave the perfect explanation of 'a noble knight can't stand the disgusting smell on his body', but it still can't change the result of his failure, and Li Laifu can be sure that if the so-called beggar wants to kill this noble knight, it's very simple, really simple.

After hearing Li Laifu's answer, the old housekeeper smiled helplessly, his eyes looking at Li Laifu were very pure, without the slightest weirdness and calculation, Li Laifu, who was a man in two lives, was also very clear, because there were only three people in this world who were willing to stare at him with this kind of eyes.

But he couldn't change his decision, because his name was Lee Laifu and not Max Emery.

"Come with me somewhere, little Emory. ”

The old butler suddenly walked up to Li Laifu's side and patted his head lightly with his big rough hand.

"I'll take you to a place to see, otherwise you may not have a chance in the future. ”

Li Laifu was stunned, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart, then nodded, picked up the black book, followed the footsteps of the old housekeeper, and left his own small world

"Give yourself some time each day, ask yourself, and then figure out what's in the ridiculous heads of the big guys, but first let go of your plans and foresight, because even the gods of light don't know what will happen to you. ”

The fourth head of the Max family stared back at the moment before he died, Holding the hand of a descendant and saying this, what he didn't expect was that these words were also recorded on his stone statues, in addition to being admired and remembered by the successive heads of Max's family every day, he also suffered from some small nobles from time to time to criticize, and occasionally happened to encounter one or two idle flies that landed on his head to solve some physiological problems, in short, Max Faro is a wise man who knows the prophet, because he once said: The gods of light don't know what will happen to you next.

As a tragic figure, Max Faro has a glorious past behind him, and countless hymns and tributes come like locusts, buzzing in the magnificent castle, and he himself has no time to appreciate it, because he has to face the loneliness of the glorious past.

As recounted in the "Tustin Epic": the broad back of the splendor of wisdom cannot hide the arrival of ignorance, which has been like this since ancient times, there is no immortality, the times are like this, the civilization is like this, and the rules are like this.

The year he succeeded was a turning point for the Max family, the high duke's throne collapsed into a mess of rubble, he was unfortunate enough to become a sin lamb, the Knight of Light of Eld Cathedral held a burning sword, as brutal as the barren orc wolf rider in the Northern Wasteland, plundered Max's castle wealth and heritage, Max's golden double sword coat of arms was like a plague at that time, the last duke in the history of the Max family reluctantly took off a gorgeous dress, and the three seventh-order demonic beast crystal nuclei inlaid on it were also taken alive by the Tustin royal family as a precious property, as a knight nobleman who did nothingHe suffered the deadliest blow and infamy, but the truth may not be the same as what he sees.

An old butler, dressed in a black robe, led the seven-year-old child to the huge statue.

"Trojan, who is this?"

Li Laifu asked softly, he didn't dare to say too much, although he was confused, he was afraid of waking up the sleeping giant.

A gut told him that this was a hero who had returned to the earth.

The old housekeeper was silent, and Li Laifu glanced at him quietly, and vaguely saw the little glint in the old man's eyes.

Suddenly, Troy took Li Laifu's left hand and pointed to the huge statue tremblingly.

"Little Emery, remember, this is the fourth king of the Max family, Max Faro, a man who will carry on the past"

The old butler's words paused, and his smile faded, replaced by a pair of eyes that were full of determination. Three words came out of his dry lips.

"Protesters. ”
