"Today, Moren introduced me to a merchant from the Usain Empire, named Ilva, who looks shrewd, but has a similar personality to me. ”

At dinner, Ilva spoke of the civil strife in the Bolt Empire, which began as a conflict of ideas between the old and new parties, and it is said that at a party, a certain Grand Duke and the prince of the royal family had a dispute over this topic, and the prince accidentally wounded the Grand Duke, and the nobles of the entire empire began to show their inclination in an uproar, and escalated from insulting to attacking each other, and finally evolved into more and more uncontrollable. ”

"That's why Ilva left his homeland, passed through Caesar's Empire, went to the Capital of Chaos, and finally came to our country. ”

"Melun and I think it's a bit of a rumor, it's ridiculous that a prince and a grand duke can be so irrational at a banquet. ”

"Ilva seemed a little upset to see the attitude of me and Morun, and then he said something to us......"

This was the end of the first page, and Leon did not expect to see such a diary and memoir-like text at the beginning, so he turned to the second page with curiosity, and continued to read.

"Omen of Sunset?" may seem like a name that has never been heard of, but Ilva says that in the northwest of the continent, in the direction of the Bolt Empire, the Omen of Sunset is a terrifying and mysterious organization, and that the members of the Omen of Sunset are rumored to have played a key role in the civil strife of the Bolt Empire. ”

"The Omen of Sunset believes in eternal darkness, but it is not like an organization of the Dark Realm. And there is also a difference between their eternal darkness and the source of the dark kingdom, the power of darkness. However, what is different, Ilva can't say. This made me laugh at this for a long time. ”

"Eternal darkness...... I think it should symbolize war and death, i.e. the nature of the Omen of the Twilight is a warmonger, much like the Dark Realms, who aspire to plunge entire continents into disputes in order to spread their ideas or expand their territory. ”

Ilva later said a lot, but the topic of the omen of sunset was of more interest to me. According to his description, the strength of this organization is indeed quite terrifying, if not located at the westernmost point of the continent. Instead, on the eastern side, then it is likely to affect the kingdom of Sver, in which case it will be very troublesome. ”

"But we can't take it lightly, and we've been in the era of development for many years. A lot of similar organizations are popping up all over the place. It spreads like a cancer. To tell you the truth, after listening to Ilva's description, I always felt that their nature should be worse than those creatures in the dark country, the dark creatures are just cruel and warlike, and they are like a group of crazy people, a group of evil and crazy aliens who want to subvert the entire human civilization! For the sake of the people, we can't leave any room for them to live!"

"I asked Ilva how to judge a member of the Omen of Sunset. He didn't know, but he told me that the Omen of Sunset was the equivalent of a leader standing on high ground, and that there was another organization under it that was responsible for specific matters, and that was the 'Claws of Twilight'. ”

"Ridiculous, there are branches of the evil organization? and...... Sunset, dusk, and dusk? Do they really think they can drag the whole continent into the so-called eternal darkness?

Leon shook his head slightly at the optimism revealed in his grandfather's words, and he flipped through a few pages, and suddenly turned back again, looking at the words "claws of dusk" again.

He had a familiar feeling about the title, and after thinking about it for a long time, his eyes lit up - as if he had heard of "Claws of Dusk" from Kaka's mouth, and at that time he was still in the City of Chaos, and had just experienced a major battle of the undead invasion.

At the end of the battle, there was a conversation between the female speaker who returned in time and the super strong man who appeared in mid-air, mentioning a mysterious sect, they didn't call it by name, and they seemed quite scruples, and later when Leon asked about Kaka, the level-leveler said several names with disdain, including the Dark Cultist, the Revival Society, and this Dusk Claw.

"The claws of dusk are the ones that make Miss Krystal jealous, so isn't the omen of sunset even more terrifying?"

With this in mind, Leon continued to look backwards.

It seems that this merchant named Ilva has been in the kingdom of Sver for a long time, and he gets along well with Darren and several of Darren's friends, and he also gave Darren a lot of ideas for the construction of the castle at Campbell Manor.

In the middle, Darren once asked Ilva about the Paw of Dusk, and seeing that his new friend was so interested, Ilva also revealed what he knew, including how to identify the marks of the members of the Paw of Dusk, but it was not explained in detail in Darren's account, which made the young man feel depressed. However, he always felt that this thing would appear later, so he honestly read it carefully, and refused to let go of any of the records.

The acquaintance with Ilva should be that Darren has just received the fiefdom and became the earl of the field, and from this time he can be regarded as really entering the kingdom politics, but the old earl does not like to participate in the banquets between those nobles, and only attends formal occasions, and spends the rest of his time running his own territory in Campbell.

And three years later, something happened.

When Darren had to attend a grand banquet, on a very fortuitous occasion, he saw a necklace peeking out of the open neckline of an earl, and this part happened to have a distinct feature, almost exactly as Ilva had described it to him.

It's the identity symbol of the Claws of Dusk!

The old earl was shocked, but he was so experienced that he did not startle the snake, but quietly endured it until the end of the banquet, and immediately contacted his friends when he returned, and told them of the discovery.

Most of Darren's friends are from the military, or nobles with similar temperaments, and there are few people who can reach the height of an earl except him, but this does not prevent them from being loyal to the kingdom, so after getting the news, they decided to report to the authorities as soon as they got the news and eliminate this cultist hidden in the kingdom.

Only Darren was qualified to do this, and he did not hesitate to do so, and that afternoon he went to see the Minister of War, whom he had met several times, and told him the origin of the Claws of Dusk and his discovery.

The Minister of War took him very seriously, and took him with him to the King of Swell, and after a secret discussion, a group of soldiers set out from the palace to "invite" the suspected Earl of Bambrovt in the name of the king's business.

However, at the very moment when the soldiers departed, a fire broke out in the villa of the Count of Bambrovt, and by the time the fire was extinguished, nothing of value was left in the ruins, and the only dozen or so skeletons could not be identified at all, and it was impossible to distinguish whether the Count himself was among them.

The fire attracted the attention of the nobles of the royal capital, but fortunately, the royal family covered up the matter in other names, but whether the disappeared count was a member of the "Claws of Dusk", and his life and death became a mystery.

After that, the kingdom secretly investigated the matter, but nothing was found, so many people involved thought that the death of Earl Bambrov was a "coincidence", and they were skeptical about the danger of the "Claws of Dusk", and some even thought that it was just a small organization, and Darren's words were just a deliberate exaggeration of the danger and grandstanding, so the investigation was terminated after half a year.

But Darren didn't think so, and he thought that it must have been the hidden comrades who had informed the Earl of Bambrov that had allowed him to attract attention with fire at the most critical moment, and then concealed his tracks, continuing their untold machinations in the kingdom of Sver. And Darren didn't care about the incomprehensible and ridiculed eyes of others, and began to investigate on his own, for which he used his already small relationship, and it took several years to investigate.

Because the old earl had always been firm in his belief that once an organization like the "Claws of Dusk" paid attention to the kingdom of Sver, there was a high chance that something would happen in the future that would affect the kingdom's safety, and he could not tolerate such a thing.

However, he did not expect to encounter so many obstacles in the course of the investigation.

The first is the capital, although the Earl of Darren is brave and good at fighting, and has won countless battles in his life, he is not a territorial talent who is good at planning and management, so although he stabilized the situation in Campbell and allowed the people in the territory to be self-sufficient, the economy has never been able to develop, and the funds in his hands have never been rich. The manpower and material resources consumed to investigate such a mysterious organization are a bottomless pit, but Darren has persevered, so much so that by the time of his death, he had not even repaid the loan from the border guard.

The second is the disregard of the high-level, at first the Minister of War was more supportive, but after a year and a half, no problems were found, and gradually no longer paid attention to it, as for the princes and princes of the royal family...... They have long forgotten about it and turned their attention to other aspects. Therefore, the old earl's investigation can use very few resources, and the progress can be imagined.

In addition, there were different voices among his friends, some began to persuade him not to be too stubborn, and some silently stayed away from the old earl because of the instructions of the higher-ups, but Darren remained unmoved.

However, it was not only hindered, and soon, danger also appeared around him.

In the third month of the investigation, Ilva's body was found in a culvert near the Wangdu business district, and after an investigation by the security department, the cause of death was that Ilva had offended an underground force in his business activities, so he suffered merciless revenge.

There is nothing wrong with this result, and Darren can only regret the loss of this friend.

In the fifth month, two of his friends, middle- and lower-ranking officers in the army, were killed in a thug attack during a border mission.

In the sixth month, a baron fell while practicing swordsmanship, only to be stabbed in the throat by a bouncing sword.

It may have been a coincidence that these things were put together individually, but they happened intensively over the course of several months, giving Darren a chill. (To be continued......)
