Every year on the last day of April, the seven-string crescent moon of the Norland continent will be high in the night sky at the same time, and it is said that this day is the moment that changes the fate of people in the year, so it is also called the day of destiny.

Fateful Day is a festival in many countries on the continent, and it is also a common festival for many sub-intelligent tribes. Tribes that mainly worship witches, such as gnolls, snake people, goblins, etc., regard this day as the most important day. Strangely, the races that have lived in underground caverns for many years, such as cavemen, fish-men and Nagas who live underwater, also value the day of fate, although some of them may not see the moon once a year.

Legend has it that on the day of fate, the gods would listen to the voices of the believers, or send spokesmen, or even avatars to walk in the world to listen to the wishes of the believers. The devout will be rewarded, while the unbelievers will receive nothing. However, those powerhouses who have crossed the plane know very well that legends are just legends.

But on the fateful day of this year, the fate of many people did change from this.

In the midst of a spectacular assault, piercing, and counter-siege campaign, Ellie's Constructed Knight finally appears on the battlefield to face off against the Constructed Knight of the Neo and Solam families. Twenty against eighteen, Solam and Neo still have the advantage, although the advantage is small. However, the result of the decisive battle was that Ellie Jie completely annihilated the coalition's team of constructed knights at the cost of the loss of five constructed knights!

This was the decisive battle of the battle, Viscount Elliejie's army, with the Constructed Knight as the vanguard, like an extremely sharp cone, fiercely cut through the coalition line, tearing a hole in the defense line forged by the torrent of steel, the wounds quickly deepened and expanded, and finally the entire battle completely collapsed. With thousands of prisoners captured and nearly 1,000 cavalry of all types, Solam officially announced his withdrawal from the war, while Neo's envoy for peace talks was quickly dispatched at the end of the battle.

There are old rules between the military aristocracy, and the outcome of the peace talks has actually been determined by the previous battle situation. Marquis Neo will lose up to a third of his realm in exchange for peace for the next ten years. Ellie, on the other hand, owns all the land lost by the vanquished. The fruitful results of this harvest will allow her to have enough legal territory to be given the title of Count Ellie Jie by the will of the Holy Alliance Emperor.

The war between the Constructed Knights was the result of victory, but people talked more about the disparity in battle power. For some time to come, there will be speculation about who the mysterious constructor behind Ellie will be, at least he should be far above the level of Santa Cruz, who has been famous for decades.

On the southwestern front of the Holy Alliance, Ellie will be a central topic for a long time. But on the continent-wide level, more people are talking about Gordon, Gordon Akmund. Gordon chose to officially enter the capital of the Holy Alliance, the miracle city of the continent, Faust, at noon on the day of fate.

The road to Faust has always been paved with steel and blood, and many forces will obstruct it in the open and in the dark, and even some big families simply send people to intercept and kill them naked/naked. This is the tradition of the Holy Alliance, and it is also the rule set by the first emperor. Families that do not have the ability to break through the blockade and interception are not qualified to gain a foothold in Faust at all. And in the process of a family's entry into Faust, attacks on their territory are legal.

For a hundred years, behind the glory of every guy's successful entry into Faust, there is a road dyed red by roses and blood. However, people often only remember the successful ones, but forget that more families have completely disappeared on this road.

One of the reasons why Gordon's decision turned the continent in the spotlight was that perhaps Akmund as a whole was qualified to challenge Faust, but Akmund was never united. As the patriarch, Gordon represented only himself. Moreover, Gordon rose too fast, and in the eyes of the old aristocracy, Yan Zòng lacked foundation. Essence is not an empty word, on the contrary, it means secret private planes, mountains of wealth, dozens of constructed knights, well-equipped armies, and talents that can support expansion. The sum of this qiē is called the foundation. The foundation depends on time and is accumulated year after year.

This is why the nouveau riche rises so fast and falls so quickly. There is no doubt that Gordon Akmund was an upstart, and one of the stupidest of them.

In front of Gordon Acmund, the road to Faust was not smooth. However, instead of mobilizing a large army from all planes to break through the blockade with all his might like the previous successful families, he ordered all the planes, including the native army, to be stationed in place to prevent other families from taking advantage of the fire. He didn't even use the patriarch's authority to ask the rest of the Akmund family to cooperate.

When Gordon Akmund set out on his journey, he had only thirteen of his Constructed Knights by his side.

At noon on Fateful Day, Gordon Akmund appeared punctually in front of the gates of Faust, and the entire Holy Alliance was shaken.

This was the first time that the Akmund family set foot in Faust, and it also meant that from this day on, Akmund officially became one of the most prominent families on the continent.

And Fateful Day was also a special day for Richard. Because at eleven o'clock in the evening, he will be summoned by the legendary mage. He instinctively felt that this would be a very special meeting.

Night falls on the magnificent ice floe bay, and on this special night, the deep blue is already lit up.

A smoky blue magical glow spilled out from the lines of the majestic tower, rising upwards. From afar, it looks like a magnificent and mysterious blue crystal tower stands at the end of the floating ice bay. Thousands of bonfires burned in the clearing around Deep Blue, and from the upper floors of the Magic Tower, it looked like stars in the night sky. As if they didn't feel the bitterness of the spring cold, people gathered around the campfire, singing, dancing, drinking spirits, and admiring the spectacle of the dark blue illumination that only happens once a year.

Most of them are people living in the marginal areas, and the dark blue is the shelter they rely on for their livelihood and their spiritual support. The day this magic tower stands in the north, their pride will thicken.

And on this night of revelry, the upper layer of the dark blue has long been silent. The Grand Magus had seen many grander celebrations, and they had long since become indifferent. For them, the vast magical world is no longer endless, and they no longer need to rely on the carnival of celebrations and festivals to anesthetize themselves and find sustenance.

The appointed time has come.

In front of Richard, the massive magic golem pushed open two heavy steel gates, revealing the staircase that spiraled upwards behind it.

The gate is still towering in line with the aesthetics of the dark blue upper class, but the heavy steel surface has not been treated in any way, revealing a strong red ochre color and weathered lines, full of primitive beauty, reminiscent of the origin of this metal, and the savage scenery in the depths of the ruined and desperate wasteland.

The stairs are delicate and delicate, and the whole body shines with a faint light. At first glance, I don't think there's anything special about it, but if you look at it, you will immediately feel dizzy and confused, so that you can't make out the original material of the staircase, and every sculpture on the handrail is a masterpiece of art, which is more and more intoxicating under the faint light. The height of the stairs made Richard even more dizzy, this was already the uppermost area of the dark blue, and further up, it was Su Hailun's real private area, and even the great mages were not qualified to enter.

Does the Legendary Mage want to meet him in the private area?
