War, it brings death, it brings destruction, but it also brings more opportunities and more hope. As the saying goes, heroes come out of troubled times, and that's the truth. Apparently Renon gave up the opportunity, and he chose to withdraw.

Erica looked at the graduation certificate in Ruinon's hand in confusion and said, "I thought you would choose to go to the Royal Military Department to sign up......"

"This ...... I have my own plans. Ruinon scratched the back of his head and said.

"Yes!" Konstantin said as he narrowed his eyes at Renon for a moment, "and while I want you to join me and Erica in this battle, I respect your choice. ”

"Sister Erica has joined the army too!"

"According to the document issued by the military department, cadets of military academies who have reached the age of sixteen must join the army. But I'll sign up even if I'm not old enough!"

"Rainon, the military situation is urgent, and I, Erica, and Anne Field are going to report to the northeastern border of Kevin Las, and you and Mopra are the only two people in the house. You don't want to give him too much trouble. Konstantin leaned down and told Rainon, "Contact me through the communication brazier in my study, and you will use it, right?"

"Hmm!" Renon nodded.

"Hurry up, Anne, it's time to go. Konstantin shouted up to the second floor.

"It's coming!" Anne hurried down the stairs with a large bag on her back, as a series of hurried footsteps rang from the ceiling with a silver bell-like voice.

"We're going to war, not going on an outing, what are we carrying so many things for?" Konstantin asked with a frown.

"It's our woman's stuff. After Anne finished speaking, she ignored Konstantin and said to Erica, "Erica, this is yours...... And do my sister a favor? ”

"Okay!" Erica happily took a bunch of packages and stuffed them into the spatial ring. Konstantin shook his head.

Konstantin's huge room was occupied by five people, and now three at once seemed even more deserted and empty. Mopra was not in the house most of the time, and could only be seen dragging his translucent body back and forth while cleaning. Konstantin left without locking the door of his study, and the door to the alchemy room was left blank for Renon to study on his own.

"Space Magic and Time Magic...... Artifact...... Tears of Frost ...... "In Constantine's alchemy room, Renon muttered some vague words and wandered his gaze back and forth on the bookshelf, when suddenly he turned to the bookshelf on the left and said, "Nightmare, have you found a book on space magic?"

"There are books on space magic, but they are only simple records, and I don't know as much as I do. The sound of nightmares wafted back and forth in the circular laboratory.

"Is there a history book? Regardless of the official history or wild history, as long as it is a book that records the past, it can be a legend of gods and ghosts, absurd and weird, or anything. ”

"Uh......" Nightmare on the other side shook his black head and purple eyes roamed back and forth on the bookshelves, "I said, why am I trying to help you find books?"

"If you don't pay the rent, then replace it with labor!"

"Damn!"

"Rely on it! Find it quickly!"

"Ruinon ......"

"What?" asked Renon casually, pulling out a dusty old book from the shelf, flipping through a few pages.

"You should come and see this ......," Nightmare said to Renon with a thick black cover on his back.

"What kind of book is this?" Renon picked up the heavy book in both hands, and found that there was not a word on the black cover, except dust.

"It's hard to say, it's more of a notebook than a book, open it and take a look, it should have what you need. ”

Ronon sat on the floor, put the thick black book on the ground, and blew on it. "Ahem!" he coughed as the dust choked, "Is this a bookshelf or a dust shelf?" Rynon grumbled as he flipped the first page.

It was a very old book, the pages had been stripped and stacked on top of each other, the sallow paper smelling thick musty, and the scribbled handwriting had become indistinct with the erosion of time. Ruinon picked up a relatively clear page, and swiped his fingers across the paper to make out word by word:

I've been wandering around a black land for eight days,

It's a dark forest, how wild, how treacherous, everything is lifeless, travel is difficult,

I can't put it into words, it's creepy to think about.

Although this painful ordeal is not as tragic as the loss of life;

But such aimless wandering,

Let me abandon the right way, and I don't know where to go,

......

Ruinon asked Nightmare suspiciously, "Is this the manuscript of a wandering poet?"

"I don't know how to do it, I don't know much about your human culture. If you look at this one, you must be very interested in the content inside. Nightmare said, shaking her head.

Renon rubbed his sour eyes and looked carefully at the piece of paper handed over by Nightmare:

I came to a magnificent castle,

Shabby, gloomy, dead silence,

Surrounded by gray clouds, someone called my name in a gloomy voice,

The sudden call made the fear in my heart unsettled,

Close to the castle, the gates are open,

I lifted up my eyes and looked around......

"I couldn't read it clearly, and the rest of the handwriting was illegible. Renon looked up and rubbed his sour eyes again and said, "There's nothing that interests me." ”

"Do you think the description of this text sounds familiar?"

"Phantom Palace. Rinon replied without thinking.

"Then look at the last paragraph. ”

Ruinon's fingertips slid over the sallow paper and read: "The gray curtain swayed without wind,

Then a man looked at me through the curtain,

She was silent, barely making a sound.

I saw her alone in the dead castle,

He asked, 'Are you a human or a ghost?'

'I am a living man, past and present.

But the world does not approve of me and regards me as a demon......

He ...... He has met the legendary Phantom Empress?" Rynon's voice trembled and stammered with overly surprised.

"What's more important is this paragraph. "Nightmare stretched out her black fiery hooves and pointed," she said, "I am a woman who pursues love, born in a time of blindness;

Prolos of the Holy Mind spreads the divine will,

But let the times be full of hypocrisy and ignorance,

I'm a magician who pursues the truth,

I once told my husband the truth about the world......"

Hearing this, Ruinong's heart suddenly set off a monstrous wave. There have been several generations of popes in history who have had the surname Prolog...... The Truth of the World...... Linking it all up, Ronon came to an exciting conclusion: the Phantom Empress knew the truth of the world as well as the people of the Starmoko family!

"Then look at this page. Nightmare handed another page to Rainon.

"The day is leaving, and the sky is dark

All the creatures of the earth are about to fall asleep and wash away their weariness.

I was alone

Endure loneliness and pain in the silence of an ancient castle.

O all-powerful God, help me.

'God will not help you, because God never existed!'

An indifferent voice came from behind, as if it was a demon's call.

A stranger walked up to me.

I kept staring at the man,

He's not a ghost or a ghost,

But with the powerful magic of demons,

It has degraded me, it has driven me mad.

I lost my mind under his bewitchment,

He believed his crazy words and betrayed the creator God. ”

Rinon muttered to himself, puzzled, "Who is the stranger he is describing about? Could it be from the Stamoko family?"

"It's Konrad Starmoko, the greatest ancestor of your family. Nightmare blinked and said, "Look at this one again, although most of it is blurry, there is a thing mentioned here, a pendant. ”

"(Missing) a (missing) necklace for me,

Light blue as ice, white as frost,

Shaped like dewdrops, transformed into glass,

A hint of sadness permeates in the smoothness of dreams.

He told me it was called Frost Tears, and it was (missing)

...... (missing)"

"Tears of Frost! Tears ......of Frost with the artifact," Renon muttered to himself, as if he had gone back to that day five years ago, and mentioned the name in a trembling voice in his sleep. Suddenly, Ronon jumped up and grabbed Nightmare's neck and yelled, "Is there any?

"You calm down, there's nothing left to do. ”

"The handwriting underneath is illegible, are there any other passages related to Frost Tears?"

"At the moment, I haven't found out. ”

"Then look for ...... again," said Ruinon, plunging headlong into the sea of books.

As time passed, the scorching sun gradually set in the west, lazily resting his red face on the top of the mountain. In the circular alchemy laboratory, orange-red sunlight shines through the square windows, plastering the gray-black blue brick floor with a layer of pink.

"Ah......," said Rinon as he sat on the mountain of books, stretched, yawned, "so tired!

"What you're looking for is a hoodoo that the Holy See considers the source of evil, and it's good to be able to find that little. It is important to know that if he was in a country that believed in the Cult of the Illuminati, Arroyo Constantine would have been sentenced to death. Nightmare lay on the ground, bored, raised his head and said lazily.

"What about Kevin Russ?"

"It's okay for the time being. ”

"What does it mean to be okay for a while?"

Nightmare lazily raised his eyelids and said, "Do you think Kevin Las won this battle?"

"Of course it won! Because Grandpa Konstantin also participated in this war, and it must be fine to have him. ”

"Less naïve!"

"You mean you can't win?"

"Yes! Think about it, how many countries are there in the Western Union? There is a good saying: two fists are no match for four hands. No matter how strong Kevin Las's national strength is, even if there is Arroyo Constantine, how many countries can he fight against? Plus Kevin Las's two allies are the Triple Alliance, and what about the Western Alliance? Eleven countries! They also have top powerhouses, even if their individual strength is not as good as Constantine, but they will not be much worse, do you think Kevin Las has a chance of winning?"

The nightmare's words exploded like a thunderbolt on Ruinon's brain. Ruinon's eyes were wide and his gaze was glazed, and he asked in a mechanical tone, "How can this be?" Xuanqingguo, his hometown, his homeland was destroyed after the war, and now he has come to Kevin Lass his new home, and he is about to repeat the same mistakes......

"I didn't go with Grandpa Konstantin and Sister Erica...... I ......"

"What can you do if you go? Do you think it's your credit for defeating more than twenty griffon knights? Without the help of the flames, without Arroyo's strategy of stealing the air, you would have been fired by the griffin knights. Nightmare said angrily, "The soul inside you is right, the next step is to find the legendary artifact!

"Looks like we'll have to go to the Phantom Palace again......," said Ronon as he put away the three yellowed pages and turned to head out the door.
