[Jedi, my dear friend and teacher:

It's been half a year since the last correspondence, and I can't wait to share with you what I've seen and heard in Yongxing City over the past three months. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

[A chapter on anti-theft is used as a precursor to the repetition. 】

Following your advice and methods, I have passed what you call "battlefield withdrawal", and I can now sleep in my bed, and I no longer subconsciously draw my sword when I hear the footsteps behind me, and the sound of the blacksmith striking iron will no longer put me in a state of tension.

My father arranged for me to enter the Guard Hall and work under his old classmates from the Military Academy—have you ever heard of Lord Lobik Dilla the "Horse Slayer"?

With your superb sword skills (don't get me wrong, I'm praising you, not boasting) and the rare finishing power (this is boasting), I became a Second Class Guard Officer and City Defense Patrol Captain at the beginning of my career - although I knew in my heart that I was able to get this position more because of the surname Karabiyan.

You won't believe what I've been through in just three months, there have been so many accidents that I have to straighten out one by one.

As I mentioned before, the stars are an old and decaying nation, and the past as a relic of the empire is no longer a glory but more of a burden.

It is hard to imagine that in a place like the royal capital, there are so many entanglements and shady scenes of administrative power in the guard hall alone, and the efficiency and effectiveness of the police are so low that it is simply unbearable, not to mention the common people, so that the order and life functions of the streets in several areas of the royal capital are actually maintained by the gangs, because for them, the channels of the gangs are faster, better, more reliable and convenient than the official ones.

By chance, I got an eyeliner inside the Brotherhood of the Dark Streets. It was in this context that I intervened in the desperate struggle between the two gangsters of Xingchen in the royal capital - and once again refreshed my perception of the unofficial characters of the gangsters.

Regardless of the countless mortal and super-level masters (there are several Adept Warriors, each of whom is qualified to take a place in the Stardust Force of the Legendary Wings), there is only one thing that is very important to me - remember what you told me about the swordsmen who turned their backs on the original Sword Heart and the mission of the Tower of End?

As you mentioned, their swords have been reduced to pure weapons of killing, and their finishing power has been transformed into the purest force of death, not unlike the scourge that their ancestors once swore to death.

Nearly a hundred years have passed, but I'm sure I've met a Terminator outside the tower, or what you call a Calamity Swordsman.

In the face of that kind of furious and murderous finishing power, even the "Glory of the Stars" that I am proud of is no match at all. When that power invaded me, it was ...... I couldn't help but wonder: what kind of madman could endure such a finishing force flowing through his body?

If it weren't for the unexpected help, what you would have received now might be my funeral obituary.

In short, I have seen the ending power where killing intent and rage coexist.

The swordsman was from the Blood Vials, yes, the gang that the two scourges had founded at the end of the reign of Mindis III a hundred years ago - one of them is said to have disappeared in the royal capital, and I suspect it was the wrath of the kingdom himself, who else in the royal capital could come close to those scourges besides him and the bow?

Curiosity led me to read a lot of classics during my recuperation, and I also read a lot of forbidden books and records of the Alert Hall in my father's face, and I was surprised to discover the following facts: In the hundred years since the establishment of the Blood Vial Gang, mysterious super-level swordsmen of all colors have appeared in it seventeen times, and the lethality and destructive power they show are by no means comparable to those of ordinary super-level finishing swordsmen, but they are similar to the swordsman I met - it seems that the calamity swordsman I encountered is not an isolated case that suddenly appeared.

Another reasoning is that those two Calamities secretly founded the Star Blood Vial Gang a hundred years ago, and the "Sword of Calamity" line also betrayed the Tower of Ending a hundred years ago and established the Sword of Ending inheritance outside the tower - are the two really unrelated?

What worries me even more is that for a hundred years, the Tower of the End really didn't know about the relationship between the Outer Tower Inheritance and the Star Blood Vial Gang, why did we never turn a blind eye?

Anyway, Jedi, dear teacher, I feel that the answer lies in the truth that Crassus and his followers turned their backs on the Tower of the End back then. I need to get back to the Tower of the End as soon as possible, and I need to ask you to give me access to the Inheritor's tome.

That's the end of the Blood Vials, but the other gang is no less than that: my eyeliner tells me that the rise of the Brotherhood in the Streets is very strange, that the Scarlet Years were their beginnings, that they were just a bunch of mercenaries and adventurers who were trying to survive (although they were very powerful), and that they were only in their early teens, and that they had already eroded half a star of the underworld, and were reaching out to the Exeter and Commath Alliance.

The Blood Vials have the prestige of the magicians, and they are also the product of collusion with the nobles and bureaucrats, and what is the reason for the rise of the Brotherhood in the Dark Street?

Speaking of which, I would like to ask: have you ever heard of such a name as "Black Sword"?

Legend has it that he is the leader of the Brotherhood of the Dark Streets, with advanced swordsmanship and realm, others say that he is the most dangerous king of killers who is good at hiding, and there are even reports from the Alert Department that his sword is some kind of cursed artifact with unfathomable power, but there is only one thing that is unmistakable: he is a master of the Extreme Realm. Over the past decade, a Knight of the Rim and a Warrior of the Arc have both been suspected to have died at his hands - both of them were present at the time of the incident.

Despite the sheer size of the gap between the Arctic masters, I can't help but wonder: killing two Arctic masters at the same time - could there really be such a powerful swordsman outside of the sight of the Tower of End? I also suspected that he was the descendant of the Sword of Calamity, but he was also a member of the Brotherhood of the Streets who was hostile to the Blood Vials.

The bigger thing, what happened yesterday in the Kingdom of the Stars was the meeting - you may have received a summons from the crow - the Kingdom of the Stars has an orthodox heir, not a wealthy nobleman, not a side branch of the royal family, but a living prince named Tails Bright Star. I know that you were a classmate of Prince Horace, the Sword of Light, but I don't know what you think of Bright Star, and I witnessed the new second prince behind my father, and although he was only seven years old, I can only say that Bright Star is worthy of the royal family.

But it didn't come at a good time, and the Bright Star Royal Family was facing rare pressure - the Exeter Mission was assassinated in the stars.

Yes, Jedi, my dear friend and teacher, I smell the smell of war again, and it seems to my father that the conflict between the dragon and the stars is inevitable, no matter how good he mediates.

I'm sorry. Teacher.

The Tower of Ending, the swordsman and knight's light, who have worked hard to preserve the future of humanity with their extraordinary power and fight against calamity with the power of the end, will once again rise up with their swords and fight to the death on the battlefield for their respective countries.

If war breaks out, I can only pray to the goddess of the setting sun that I will not meet Chloesi and Missadun, and I can't help but shudder at the thought of the days in the Tower of the End, and the thought of plunging the sword into each other's hearts.

Also, Miranda is in her third year at the Broken Dragon Fortress and is honorably serving under the Stronghold Flower, but this also means that if war breaks out, she will be the first to face blood.

In addition, I also met Raphael at the National Council, who was working in the Kingdom Secret Department and was also dedicating his strength to the country.

But believe me, teacher, your worries will not come true, from the service to the duty, I have seen a lot, but the reality will not change me, and the ideals of me and the other two will never change-especially me, after experiencing the most brutal battlefield, I deeply feel the preciousness of life, and after seeing the ugliness of the kingdom, I am more eager for the arrival of change - we will one day use our own strength to rebuild this dying country.

I wish you all the best and pursue Chartier-sensei as soon as possible!

Also: The stars have entered winter, and it will snow soon in Yongxing City, I wonder what the weather is like over there?

―――――― your faithful friend and student, Cohen Karabiyan

――――――On the morning of December 18, 672 in the end of the calendar, at home]

Before the lights went out, Cohen stopped his pen, looked at it for a long time, and sighed.

The blonde-haired vigilante hesitated, but he erased the sentence "He is working in the secret department of the kingdom, and he is also dedicating his strength to this country", and rewrote "I will write to you after further confirmation of his current situation".

He got up from his desk and forgot to glance out the window of his manor.

At six o'clock in the morning, the visibility on the streets was quite high, and even so early, there were still many aristocratic servants running back and forth - especially at the moment when major events at home and abroad were frequent recently.

As soon as he thought of this, Cohen shook his head: the kingdom has an heir, but it has also caused the confrontation between the royal family and the noble lords at the national meeting yesterday - how to solve the conflict with Exter?

He didn't think that the Duke of Nanpustria, who had experienced such humiliation, would still respond to the king's call without hesitation, the stingy lords of the Western Wilderness did not look like noble gentlemen who went to the national disaster together, and the fat duke of the East China Sea was even more stingy and famous, leaving only the unexpected Duke of the Blade Leader and the South Shore Collar Iris, who was on the verge of rebellion, but they could not quench their thirst.

At least, will the first battle be carried by the North itself and the royal family?

Stars, what a country like a hydra—Cohen thought.

But then he thought that the hydra Quilica had been killed by the human hero, the founding monarch of Exter, Necaru Aix, and his heart was even more gloomy.

The sound of horses' hooves rang out the window on the avenue.

A group of knights rode out of a mansion dedicated to entertaining foreign nobles.

But the rhythm with which they mastered their horses, and the strength with which they struck them, were different from those of the knights of the stars.

The cavalry of the stars is controlled, and the rhythm is harmonious between rides, the rhythm is stable, and the whip horse is just right.

But this team of knights has a fierce rhythm and a very heavy whip horse, but the pace is uniform and the discipline is awe-inspiring.

It's a bit like the knights of the North.

Wait a minute.

Cohen's pupils shrank suddenly!

He saw the banner of the knights.

"Bump!"

Cohen slammed the window open!

He poked out, trying to see the flag.

That side...... A flag in a hue that is incompatible with the Kingdom of Stars.

Red-edged and black-bottomed, the flag is a roaring red dragon.

The dragon's claws are hideous, the dragon's wings are wide open, and the dragon's eyes are pure black.

It's really a rugged and ferocious style.

The blonde-haired vigilante was slightly stunned.

They--Did they arrive in the early hours of last night?

Instead of stopping them at the gates of the city and letting them rest in the inn outside the city, they let them in?

Is it what Your Majesty means?

Suddenly, a chill appeared on his face, and Cohen shrank for a while!

Cohen reached out and touched it, and felt a piece of sparkle on his face.

The vigilante officer was stunned.

He stretched out his hand and picked up the second and third pieces outside the window.

White stars fall from the sky.

It's snowing.

Cohen took a deep breath and looked at the sky.

Winter is here.

――――――――――

Early morning.

He woke up from the hard, hard stone bedboard characteristic of the Fuxing Palace.

He slid off the bed and unsurprisingly stepped onto the same cold stone floor.

It seems even colder than yesterday.

Tails felt that yesterday's self was like living in a dream.

He stepped on the star-blue carpet with Gilbert from the Hall of the Stars yesterday afternoon, no longer caring about the continued quarrel between the king and the lord behind him.

The aristocrats, bureaucrats, and populace on either side saluted him.

Nicknamed "Your Highness".

His Highness Tails.

"Are you hallucinating with excitement?"

Tails snapped to his senses and looked up to see Jenny.

The mature and charming court lady was leaning against the stone gate with her arms folded, looking at him quietly,

"No, no. ”

The traverser replied lightly.

"I just think it's a little unreal. ”

"Also at a loss. ”

Ji Ni looked at him and snorted softly: "Of course, you were just a small person in the past, and now you are a prince, Prince Tails, the second prince of the stars." ”

"No, it's not that simple. Tails sighed, smiled wryly, buttoned up his shirt, and grabbed his coat.

"In the past, I only had to think about how to survive. ”

"Start today. ”

"What I'm thinking about is how to live. ”

Tails replied silently, buttoning the last button of the belt.

Jenny frowned, then raised another eyebrow.

Another star—she said secretly.

Pathetic star.

Tails fastened his leather boots, but the phrase reappeared in his mind:

Fight for the stars, die for the stars, and...... Born for the stars. 】

Am I really ready?

He paused, and re-buckled the sheathed JC dagger to the belt at his waist.

"Are you ready, Your Highness?" a familiar voice came from outside the door.

Gilbert's figure appeared in the doorway, his face unusually solemn.

Ginny sighed and gave way to the former foreign secretary.

Gilbert took off his hat and saluted Genie and said to Tails, "I beg your pardon for disturbing your sleep the next day, Your Highness, but ...... Please speed up your freshening. ”

Tails looked puzzled.

Gilbert took a deep breath: "Here they are, Your Highness. ”

"Your Majesty wants you to stand by his side and meet those people with him. ”

"Those people?" Tails wondered.

But he reacted immediately.

The traverser looked back at Gilbert with the same solemnity.

"Yes, those people. ”

Kilber nodded his head, pursed his lips, hesitated but finally firmly, and spat out a word:

"Exeters. (To be continued.) )
