Ai Suyan raised the musket in his hand and looked at it carefully with a happy expression.

"Well, the shiny body of the gun, the delicate lines, this is the product of technology, and if this powerful machine continues to develop, what will it mean for mankind?" he thought to himself, "and the lonely life in the secret room for several years could not be imagined to have changed because of the arrival of a pirate." ”

Peterch looked at him with a smile: "What are you thinking?"

"I'm just wondering, what does your so-called 'return of war' mean to me?" Ai Suyan reacted instantly, and then said with a calm expression.

"Please pay attention to the color of your own pupils. The pirate replied, "A grown male with such eyes on the continent will not run away when faced with a call for war, just like your countless heroic ancestors. ”

"Are you saying that now, I'm going to follow in their footsteps?" asked Essyan rhetorically.

"Of course, you can say that, otherwise why would you learn swords, just to be handsome, or is it something else that has nothing to do with honor?" Petucci's tone was slightly wavering, but generally calm and soft.

"You seem to know about my family, the hidden one, but why have you kept hiding it?" asked Asuyan, curious.

"In fact, as early as nine years ago in the winter, when the Golden-tailed Comet crossed the night sky of Denneleo for the first time in the new century, our people once disguised themselves as merchants and quietly infiltrated the interior of the Silverwing's royal capital, 'Xingyu', and witnessed the destruction and cruelty there. ”

That night, the flames of the sky suddenly ignited and illuminated the dark sky, melting the pale snow. People fled in all directions, like fanatics who had lost their faith, blood and tears intertwined with the light of swords and swords, and the continuous calamity was accompanied by blazing fire, turning the entire city, including the suburbs, into a terrifying hell like Shura. ”

Strangely, however, King Assel, who had long claimed to be the guardian of the people forever, never showed up. ”

That's really my father's name... Ai Suyan thought in silence: Did he not show up at that time because he was already powerless?

After the incident, more than half of the buildings in the majestic Star City were completely destroyed, and the merchants and tourists who had been traveling in the past were scattered like birds and beasts, and the nobleman Reddick declared that all the legitimate heirs to the throne, including the king, had been burned to the fire, and soon after, he succeeded to the throne with the highest claim. Peterch continued leisurely.

It doesn't contradict what Master said, these well-informed pirates really seem to have intervened in this matter at some point... Ai Suyan remained silent and calmly analyzed: I was still a child at that time, but with Redick alone, could he really have a way to completely destroy the Lockedan family, which had been passed down from generation to generation with the blood of glory?

Peterch seemed to sense the deep meaning behind Ai Suyan's silence, so he gently reached out and patted the prince on the back: "Don't be too sad, because since the moment I met you, at least we know that the blood of the King of Glory has not been broken. So from beginning to end, this matter is nothing more than a conspiracy to hide the head and the tail. ”

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Pirate from afar. Ai Suyan said gratefully.

"But having said that, for a while, all the races and kingdoms on the continent were convinced of this so-called accident, until a few months later, inside the ruined Silver Wing Palace, a shocking incident occurred... Forehead... It is the strange event of King Reddick illegally withholding all the foreign envoys attending the enthronement ceremony and forming an alliance with the enemy of the kingdoms: the kingdom of Khastan. ”

Kingdom of Hastan... I see. What a blatant ambition. Ai Suyan thought: If no one had investigated this matter all along, then as Master said, the tens of millions of people in the Silverwing Kingdom had unconsciously spent a full nine years in the hands of thugs and betrayers...

It seems that if you want to reorganize the mountains and rivers, you must face the trials and confusions of this group of demons...

"Reddick has blatantly violated human principles, such as the threatening practice of detaining emissaries, and has extracted a great deal of precious wealth from the continents, especially the Holy Wing Empire. However, even at this point, a year later, they were only able to release the emissary, and later launched a war against the Holy Wing Empire. ”

"They united the forces of Hastan and declared that they would fight for an evil god 'Sirius', who at least seemed unknown to us, and the slogan 'Even if you conquer the end of the world, let the victory and glory of Hastan and the Silver Wing be passed on through the ages' has become the slogan of their fierce battle. ”

"Although the countries of the mainland are deeply puzzled by the betrayal of Silver Wing, they don't know why, and they only have the only option left to fight to the death with the conscription corps..."

Petqi turned his spiritual eyes and glanced at Ai Suyan with an imperceptible meaning: "But now, I think that the truth finally has hope of being revealed. His expression was hard to see, and Ai Suyan bowed his head and remained silent.

"In the past seven years, the glory and reputation of the countries of the mainland have remained the same, but only the border between the Silver Wing and the Holy Wing has been full of wars and turmoil. ”

"Four years ago, the last fortress of the Holy Wing Empire fell in the 'Defending Heights', and it didn't take long for the soldiers of the Silverwing Kingdom to flood across the treacherous Dreadnought Mountains until they reached the only 'Fortress City', one of the legendary four major military fortresses of the Holy Wing, the only one guarding the northern gateway to the Land of Plenty. ”

Such news instantly spread to all directions of the continent, and people predicted that the Holy Wing Empire was about to be in disaster, but the Holy Wing Emperor Arthur Pandria only snorted with a cold expression, and then, under the strong recommendation of the Imperial Parliament, officially sent General Tuaraf, one of the three major marshals of the Empire, to the north, and the accompanying soldiers included at least half of the elite of the Imperial Infantry Cavalry Regiment. In addition to this, he instructed Jean, the Empire's most astute and capable Chancellor of the Exchequer, to personally preside over the long supply lines from the rear to the front. ”

"So, after that, will the Holy Wing Empire be victorious?" asked Asuyan curiously and with concern.

Peterch shook his head slightly, his strength slightly exhausted after a long speech: "Uh... I'm not on the front lines, and I don't know much about the battle. However, once the fortress city is lost, the land of abundance in the rear will spread to war, and I think the emperor himself will not sit idly by and watch the most fertile territory of the empire be ruthlessly ravaged by war. ”

"So, they made the Fortress impregnable?" asked Essusian continued to ask curiously.

"It seems so. Peterch groaned and said, " To this day, the strong walls of the fortress city have never fallen to the enemy, and the long-term siege war has multiplied the losses of both sides, and now, according to informed sources, just recently, another reinforcement on the Silver Wing side has crossed the border to the front line, and it is expected that the fortified city will be successfully captured next year, which makes some courtiers within the Holy Wing Court anxious and confused: they believe that the empire urgently needs to send more troops to the front, but they are denied and blocked by the imperial council, they say that doing so will soon be financially tight, and all courtiers must trust the strength of the warriors themselves。 ”

Ai Suyan couldn't help but sigh in surprise, "Could it be that the council wants to watch the Land of Abundance lost?"

The reason for this is unknown, but the fact that the empire's finances have been unable to make ends meet in recent years is also obvious to all, and after weighing it repeatedly, the emperor still made the decision to settle the situation. ”

Peter Qi let out a long sigh: "Now that the internal wars of the human countries have gathered millions of troops, and countless empty treasures are also at our fingertips, you and I can only live here and use our imagination to make up for the void of reality..."

Ai Suyan smiled: "Indeed, the current Sword God Secret Room has gradually become no longer novel. ”

Petch walked out of the hall and into the wilderness, took a deep breath, and then stretched his waist refreshed, and lay quietly on the grassy ground, and Essyan's side soon followed.

The breeze was gentle, and the standing prince's hair flew on his forehead, and he looked at the pirate with a blank face, while Peterch was boredly rummaging through the dirt in his hands, and looked lazily at the eternally clear sky overhead.

"Time has passed, and we will soon return to the outside world, is there anything you would like to ask before that?His Royal Highness Prince Lockdan?" Petch asked with a sudden long breath, and then asked with a pretended lightheartedness.

"Not for you, but. Essyan paused and replied, "All my confusions when I was a child have been answered by Master Morton, and his current location happens to be in the heart of the land of abundance that has been affected by the war. Then his sky-blue eyes suddenly looked ahead: "If I have the chance, I want to confirm his safety." ”

"Oh, interestingly, it seems that you are not only kind-hearted, but also loyal. But after that, what about your choice? is it right for you to be a prince?" said Petch, frowning slightly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"War is coming, and after that, my fate will burn alight..."

Ai Suyan said softly and calmly.
