When a new day comes, the city that should be noisy and lively reveals a sense of desolation and gloom.

The streets, which should have been full of green, have now turned to scorched black, retributing to the fact that there had been a scuffle not long ago.

Tonali stared at the ruins in front of him, the broken walls, the scattered corpses, the blood that had long since congealed, piercing and bloody.

A corpse dressed in full body armor and long since dead of breath collapsed in a pool of blood.

The traces of the desperate battles of the large number of guards around them seemed to be close at hand, but they could not protect the middle-aged man in the center after all, and escaped from this melee.

"Father's ......"

Tonali's body trembled slightly and walked towards the corpse of Viscount Ulysses, his eyes were red, but not a single tear flowed, and his whole person exuded a thick despair.

Francis's eyes were even more deadly silent, but he still walked to the corpse first, checking whether there was any danger.

In any case, the Ulysses family could no longer afford to lose Tonali, the only one of their direct bloodlines.

Tonali moved very slowly, as if he would fall at any moment, and the short distance of more than twenty meters was a long walk.

"Lord Viscount......"

Francis muttered as he stood up from Ulysses' corpse, his chest rising and falling violently.

Slowly glancing at the lost Tonali, Francis immediately cheered up and made a slashing motion at the more than twenty dead family members who were scattered around him at this time, with confused faces.

"Check around, those of unknown origin, kill!"

The dead soldiers instantly regained their indifference, repeated Francis's movements in unison, and then immediately scattered in all directions, searching the surroundings.

Francis saw his men scattering, and then he walked to Tonali, who had stopped at this time, and said in a low tone,

"The other side may not have gone far, and the prevention work must be done sufficiently. ”

Tonali didn't answer, but knelt down in front of his father's corpse and slowly lifted his helmet.

Under the battle helmet, the face of the old Viscount Ulysses was covered with blood, and his usual stern and cold expression was calm at this time.

"Young master......" Francis opened his mouth several times, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Tonali slowly picked up his father's body and walked all the way down the street, straight in the direction of the port.

Because he vaguely remembers that his father said a word to him when he was very young.

"My dream was to be a navigator......

Along the way, a large number of dead soldiers and guards of the Ulysses family hid in the shadows, silently guarding and watching Tonali.

They all knew that in the near future, Tonali would be their young patriarch.

The road was not too close, and even though Tonali's hands were already cramping halfway through, he was still reluctant to let Francis take over.

"I hope to finally be in the escort once the father. ”

Tonali's voice trembled slightly, but there was more determination in his eyes than ever before.

It wasn't until he reached the port that Tonali ordered the guards who followed him to pick up some wood.

"Cremation on the spot, burial at sea. ”

Tonali spoke.

Around, a middle-aged senior guard immediately stood up, and stopped with a panicked face,

"Young master, this is not in accordance with the etiquette system, the body of the patriarch should be sent back to the family territory for burial!"

Tonali turned his head, the cold light in his eyes was refreshing, and his whole body exuded a gloomy aura.

"Second Uncle has been really busy all these years. ”

The middle-aged guard's face changed drastically, and his eyes were full of horror, but he heard Tonali's voice slowly sound again.

"From today on, I don't care about the past, but if I find something after today......"

Tonali's voice grew louder and louder, and at the end, almost in a roaring manner, he yelled at the guards around him whose faces changed,

"Tell your master that from this day forward, there will only be one voice in the Ulysses family!"

Francis fell as the words fell, and the first one stood up, got down on one knee, and said aloud,

"I will follow to the death!"

Most of the surrounding guards, along with Francis's oath of allegiance, immediately stood up, and even some of the warriors who had been hiding in the darkness all the time appeared and appeared around Tonali!

Their movements were simple but neat, like Francis, and they fell to one knee and began to swear their loyalty!

"I will follow !! to the death"

On the port, it was full of strong oaths for a while!

Some of the few guards who had always hesitated, when they saw the scene in front of them, immediately changed their previous hesitation and began to follow suit.

Most of these people are guards with their own strong imprints, they know it, and Tonali knows it even better.

Tonali watched the scene in front of him silently, but he didn't have an immediate attack.

The current situation is not yet the time to clean up the family.

The fire is gathered and the torches are lit.

Tonali stood in front of the raging fire, silent.

After more than an hour, the fire was finally extinguished, and Tonali took matters into his own hands and gathered the ashes of the old Viscount Ulysses into a shrine.

The harbor was long deserted of ships, and Tonali walked to the end of the dock and threw the shrine out into the sea.

In the process, only Francis, along with two of Tonali's trusted bodyguards, followed him closely.

The sea breeze swept through the sea, startling a wave.

"It's Kane, isn't it?" said Tonali suddenly.

Francis nodded lightly, then shook his head again,

"No, according to the information I have received, there must be quite a few people involved, including the defected Bishop of Halma, Ruskin. ”

Tonali was silent for a long time before continuing,

"Take care of Halma's affairs first, and you can arrange it...... The arrangements for these years can also be started. ”

Francis was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "But there are some problems, and they are still ......."

"No, we can't wait any longer. Tonali interrupted, "Do you think that those members of the family did not interfere in this matter?"

Francis's body shook, his expression changed several times, and finally turned into anger.

Tonali's expression was indifferent, and he could no longer look at the appearance of the once prodigal form, and the whole person was filled with a deep feeling.

"I had already noticed some of their moves, but I didn't expect them to actually join forces with Kane, and my father knew about it. ”

Tonali paused, the gloom on his face became a little colder, and said slowly,

"From now on, all the trusted forces of the family will move to Halma, don't they want to be in the territory? Give them to them, and when I have cleaned up the mess of Halma, I will settle them one by one. ”

Francis looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated face, the future head of the family, who was a little strange.

Once upon a time, this young man still looked like a gentleman, but now he felt depressed.

Quietly looking at Tonali's back looking at the sea, Francis suddenly had the illusion that he could not see the direction of the road ahead......

But he knew that from this day on, the history of the Ulysses family would be rewritten......

And the patriarch who wrote this new history has become the young man in front of him.

Collateral, branch, clan, conspiracy, power struggle...... All this will be broken in the near future.

......

Six hundred kilometers north of Halma, in the harbor of a small city.

Robert carefully escorted Elizabeth off the ship, and at the same time handed the rest of the balance to the robber-like man.

Mario is still dressed in short sleeves, with strong muscles in the sun, exuding a violent beauty.

It's just that at this time, the joy on his face completely broke his temperament and added a little joy.

"If there is such a thing in the future, feel free to look for me!"

Mario grinned.

He had never seen such a good amount of money in his life!

Robert nodded, answered casually, and then led everyone towards the city.

They will all spend the next few days here until Halma returns to normal.

At this time, on the outskirts of Halmar to the north, near a location in the forest.

Gao Fodri was carrying his bags and marching quickly.

......

"You say, what is the Aum God of Truth planning this time?"

Hundreds of kilometers away from Halma, on an airship that was slowly taking off, Chen Guang sat by the window as always, frowning.

On the other side, Zapatar's face was still a little pale, and he shook his head when he heard the words,

"There are still five years to go before the war in the South, and it is not like their style to do it at this time. ”

Chen Guang nodded thoughtfully, and then sighed: "It's a pity that this time, I didn't see the person from last time. ”

Zapatar was puzzled: "I've seen him too, but I didn't find anything special. ”

Chenguang smiled and took out something from his golden bracelet, and in an instant, Zapatar's face changed drastically!

"Queen, it's finally for you??"

Chenguang chuckled noncommittally, which was an answer, but his hand kept playing with the things he took out of the bracelet.

It was a blue gem the size of a Rubik's cube.

On it, a one-eyed man was moving back and forth from inside the gem, like a living thing.

And this gem, which Andu also knows, is named ......

The Eye of Truth.

......

In the dense jungle, a caravan is slowly passing through it, and bursts of laughter can be heard from time to time.

Several young guards, surrounded by a beautiful girl, were surrounding a young man in white robes, constantly asking about something.

"You say, the griffons of the north, are they really that scary?"

"In the Endless Mountain Range, I heard that there are still ancient giants living, is it true!?"

"That Mukla, did you end up with the princess?"

"And the ...... to the South"

With a helpless smile on the young man's face, he kept waving his hand to signal everyone not to worry, but it didn't play a role in the scene at this time.

"How many of you, are you annoying?"

The girl frowned slightly, with a little coquettishness, and glared angrily at the guards around her.

Then, the girl turned to the white-robed young man in a serious manner......

"Come one by one, line up in order, I'll go first!"

On the face of the white-robed young man, the helplessness became a little deeper.
