The turmoil in the temple seemed to be sealed into history in the blink of an eye...
When the mage recalled that battle again, nearly a month had passed in Canaan. Although the sun could not penetrate into the underground of the Netherworld, as time passed, the Book of Seasons on the earth must have been opened again.
Chapter of summer.
It was a day when we met. Xiao Fen could not help but remember the sparkling waves on the shore of the Star Lake and the sailing Vogelding Waves. However, as time went by, this memory was always filled with melancholy.
After hundreds of suns rising and setting, the wheel of time has returned to its starting point.
Maya, the dark elf girl who had a dream, could not even find her body when cleaning up the battlefield that day. And that day, Xue never spoke again, and Fidelo's eyes became empty. Although Yun Na was as usual
She was calm, but Xiao Fen still found some sadness in the depths of her red eyes. Maya was symbolically buried on the east bank of the Black Lake. The dwarf master said that one day he would find a quiet place for her on the earth.
The place to settle should be surrounded by streams and birch trees, with a dream-green canopy and skylarks singing softly on the branches.
On the day of the burial, Xue muttered something. When Xiao Fen asked again, she just smiled and said in a quiet tone: "This is the secret between Xue and Maya. The only thing that cannot be said to her is
Burn what you said."
The mage stared at the position of Xue's eyes, and the exquisite eyepatch was like a barrier: "I'm just worried about you." He hesitated. "This world is just..." Isn't it." A gentle smile appeared on Xue's face, "
And the goddess also said that the road of snow does not stop here."
on the other hand--
Leborina, who was abandoned by the goddess, did not end well. Although her pink eyes still showed deep unwillingness until the last moment, nothing could be saved. Snow coldly inserted the black sacrificial dagger into her.
The heart of the earth cut off this old drow woman's last hope of survival. The fire of vengeance spurted out from the hilt of the sword, and then turned her body into ashes.
The ensuing problem was the reorganization of the temple; although Xue was exhausted, she still had to transition this period smoothly. In the following days, the girl showed determination and strength that she had never had before. Everything about
Preparations for the upcoming family battle seem to be going on in an orderly manner.
Qiqi said goodbye to everyone on the third day after that incident. Regarding this girl, Xiao Fen had no idea what she was thinking. He only remembered that he had a brief conversation with him alone the day before she left.
During the conversation, Qiqi said in a determined tone: "Everything I did was to make you owe me more." That tone of voice that allowed no room for questioning or refutation made Xiao Fen feel a little creepy.
Yun Na and the Frog Prince go in and out of places where players gather every day, spreading her carefully crafted rumors among the crowd. The female mage is well prepared. She can stir up the troubled waters of Latres. This careful plan
The plan was not only designed to involve a life-and-death struggle between the First Family and the Fourth Family, but also included the subsequent riots, so as to create an opportunity for everyone to escape. In her free time, she sat alone in the corner of the lobby of the Raven Inn
, letting the dim light of the crystal lamp reflect the calmness in his eyes, while contemplating the feasibility of the entire plan over and over again.
In the past, these were the scope of Xiao Fen’s work. Now, Palin.”
The person the female mage was talking to sat directly opposite her. The latter had been staring into her eyes in this posture for nearly an hour. This rude behavior began to make her a little intolerable. But Xiao Fen had no intention of it.
Consciously, and not intending to answer, she still raised her chin with both hands, letting her piercing gaze penetrate the deep shadows under the hood and fall on Yun Na's blood-like eyes. A trace of anger;
She placed her hands flat on the rough wooden table, lowered her eyelids and said, "What are you doing?" The tools were taken away, and Xiao Fen showed a little disappointment on his face, "I have a plan and I want to hear your opinion." Hmm.
?". The power of the temple was cut off, or returned to Snow's control. We regard this strength as one. Between an increase and a decrease, the Zavier family has two times more strength than the Brunbud family.
Even though there was a strength gap between them originally, after this change, the Zavier family is now more than a star and a half stronger than the nominal first family of Brunbud in terms of absolute strength."
As the mage spoke, he raised his right hand with his middle finger, index finger and ring finger to draw a circle in the void; at the same time, he recited a few simple spells. Two balls of light floated out of thin air on the table - the ball of light on the left.
It was originally very big, but Xiao Fen moved his fingertips and split half of it into the ball of light on the right. The contrast was immediately reversed.
Xiao Fen smiled slightly: "But the first family of Brunbud has the full support of mercenaries and players, so the strength has been rebalanced." He re-made the two balls of light into the same size. The plan is that both sides will suffer, and then there will be
There is a chance to escape from here. Oh, thanks to that green-skinned goblin, I have to admit that the little guy has the talent to spread rumors." No, I found a new force for the Brumbud family. The Faceless Man,
That's what the residents of the underground call them. They have strength and ambition, which is good, but they are a little smarter. So it took me a lot of effort." The underground bandits of the Duzagen dwarves, you persuaded them to join Brunbud.
The camp?" Yun Na said the force represented by that name without hesitation, and she frowned. "Do you know what you are doing?" The light ball beside her became much larger, "They are numerous, and
Powerful. In this way, the advantage of the first family becomes obvious again. "Are you deliberately causing trouble?"
The female mage was silent for a while, "But these bandits are so ruthless. How did you do it?" It's not as magical as you think, but it's just that I am affectionate and interested in you. I just set up a line." Yun Na still said.
Maintaining the reserve that a girl should have, she only turned the second half of her sentence into a knowing smile. "Then what?" Ah. You can't rely on the captain for everything. This is a bad habit."
Naturally, Yun Na would not argue with Xiao Fen. She thought about it carefully and said: "You mean that the next situation will not be as chaotic as expected, and will more forces need to be involved? But in a hurry.
Where can I find the strength to continue to build this balance? I don't quite agree with your plan, Palin." She paused and imitated Xiao Fen's tone and said, "Especially since you didn't discuss it with us in advance. This is a bad habit."
Wouldn’t it be on the war carriage of the Weir family? "This is not in line with the rules of Drow society at all. Those small families will not agree, and I think even the Zavier family itself will not agree." Not Drow, and neither is Xue.
, why do we need to conform to the rules of these guys? Just let the will of the goddess guide them, and let Xue tell them that this is the instruction of the goddess. Given the interests, I believe the Zavier family will not object. As for a few small
The family cannot help them object!" This and what Leborina did..." A finger shook in front of Yun Na, "It's not a fabrication, you don't have to worry at all, this is exactly what Siskena did.
will."
The mage closed his eyelids and nodded slightly. He remembered what Xue told him about what Siskena had said to her, and seemed to find some hidden meaning in it. Then he smiled slightly and was already satisfied with this action.
He has a plan in mind. "The result of the battle will be that both sides will suffer losses, and before it ends, the Falconlanders will cause riots outside the city as agreed; at the same time, they will also announce the fact that the Zavier family united with other families to attack the First Family, Xue
Then some high-ranking priests who control the temple come out to confirm. What kind of uproar will this cause? What kind of chaos will it cause? "What you are doing. Palin, your plan is very vicious." "Planning of the escape route."
He tapped the table with his long fingers. Fen breathed a sigh of relief and was silent for a moment. Suddenly he said nonsensically: "In the depths of his blood-like eyes, apart from the ice-like calmness, he seemed to see something else...
…”
Yun Na was startled for a moment. Her beautiful pupils shrank slightly. "What do you want to say?" Did you deliberately keep the distance too far? This will make me, the captain, feel that the team is unstable. " Yun Na said.
His eyes turned to the other side.
A hurried shout interrupted the conversation between the two mages. The sound was a bit harsh. Although it was short, it still made people feel noisy. The guy with this voice was the goblin, and this guy was twisting his messy...
Pockets containing various spellcasting materials rushed in from the outside. A robe full of dirt, coupled with his fluffy mess, looked more like a beggar than a warlock. And this panicked guy brought the two mages
received an unexpected news: Fidelius wanted to see them.
Yun Na and Xiao Fen looked at each other. Fidelo had disappeared since that day's battle. He didn't even appear on the day of Maya's burial. Whenever they asked about Falcon and the dwarf, the former always remained silent, while the latter just
He asked with a worried expression. He glanced at Xiao Fen with that eye and seemed to have a bad look on his face. He quickly swallowed the disrespectful words back in his stomach, "Well, it's that guy. He actually put the sword on my neck! Captain, you are
Look, he actually put his sword on my neck and said to me: You, go find that mage, I have something for him! Borado is on top. He didn't take us seriously at all!" He tilted his head.
He pointed at his neck and yelled, seeming to be trying his best to find any traces from it.
Xiao Fen frowned and said.
At this time, the goblin's little eyes widened, and he grabbed Xiao Fen, who suddenly stood up, "Wait a minute, captain, you must teach that bastard a lesson. Show him some color, we are not easy to mess with!"
"But the mage gave him a sharp look, and the guy immediately fell silent. Delo has something to give us."
When Xiao Fen turned all his attention to the many cumbersome events in the underground; within the same time plane, far away from the underground world - the south of Oras, the far south and the eastern and even the wilderness of the extreme north.
, some important or subtle events are happening at the same time, and the threads of fate begin to extend, and pulse quietly with the world.
This is the pulse of Canaan, majestic and irresistible.
In the south of Orath, the chaos caused by the mysterious religion continues or even expands. Players and NPCs wearing the robes of the Hand of Despair are spreading to the north. They have established an army of fallen knights and secret star priests. This army quickly
He defeated the armies of several lords in the south and merged the original owner's lords into his own power; now the turmoil in the entire southern territory has gradually evolved into a riot, or in other words, a planned subversion.
At the end of spring, the joint conquest launched by the fourteen lords was defeated in the Battle of Manyuan. More than 80,000 players participated in this battle. They were neatly dressed in Hands of Despair robes and faced the regular NPC army.
After several days of fierce offensive, the opponent was completely defeated. This victory also made the voices supporting the change in the south gradually grow louder in the Canaan Forum.
Half a month later, news came out from Dragon City that the seven lords were preparing to establish a southern border defense alliance, and Canaan players were in an uproar——
Central Aulas. In other words, compared to the turbulent situation in the south, this place seems particularly quiet and peaceful. It can almost be called a paradise on earth. But because of this, it has become a battlefield for the strongest players in Aulas...
Although the Bloody Slayer has the title of the oldest Southern Conference, its life is not comfortable under the suppression of the Dark Leaf, which is recognized by Dragon City; another force, the Southern Alliance - many small guilds in the south are fighting against the giant guilds
The product of the combination also occupies the vast area of Xingchen Lake and the upper reaches of the Grass River. Although it is still slightly inferior to the first two in terms of strength, it must not be underestimated. These three player forces are engaged in the area around Dragon City.
Countless guild wars. As for the private conflicts, there were countless more. Several fierce battles even affected the towns under the jurisdiction of the Dragon City lord, which made the Dragon City senior officials furious.
After summer, the remaining forces of the original Northern War Horn also entered this fertile land, and the situation began to become more chaotic.
In addition to the troubles caused by players, the sequelae of the First Civil War also plagued a fertile land. The large number of war refugees pouring into the north never received enough attention. Hunger caused a large number of people to fall, and the plague began.
Spreading in the countryside, the disease threatens more people's lives, and the refugees who are forced into desperation begin to take extreme paths.
Undercurrents are surging beneath the seemingly calm surface, and dangerous signals have been quietly sent out, or perhaps all that is needed now is just a small fuse.
In the north of Oras, a strange army swept across the entire ice field. Those legendary terrifying creatures that only walked at night crossed the Zansu Plateau controlled by the barbarians and gradually controlled most of the Winter Wall Peninsula; the twelve surrounding the Eye of Order
The town fell almost overnight. Although the mages of the Eye of Order were still resisting, a large number of player refugees were already migrating south. The bad news was confirmed by this group of players. A huge orc army did not know how to use it.
Somehow, we crossed the Leiyun Mountains and are now heading south along the Suzan Plateau.
But it’s not just orcs. The terrifying legends spread among players describe many long-extinct creatures in Canaan. In fact, some rumors even mention undead creatures; winter wolves in the Seven Mountains are also gathering, but
Very few people realize this.
The dilapidated fortress of the gods will never be able to withstand another war. Players in the north have to gather at the Pearl of the North. They are determined to defeat their opponents in a battle on the ice sheet and defeat them once and for all. Now, on the Canaan Forum
All eyes are focused here.
And in this increasingly dangerous situation, some unnoticed events are also happening.
Dragon City. Gravedigger Street——
It’s not too late, late spring has just passed, and the warm wind of early summer has just blown along the Grass River. For the residents of the City of Dragons, the ordinary year of year oo3 has just begun, and the days are over.
There are no changes, no different from previous years. But there are more patrolling troops on the streets, and the expressions of the nobles also have a hint of uneasiness; the hands of shadows have added more people, and there are always vigilant eyes hidden between the shadows of the buildings, north and south.
The intensity of the war on the other side has finally affected this peaceful central region.
Soth still wore the long black sword that he had used for a long time. His loose cloak hid his entire body in the shadows. The brim of his hat also covered his eyes, which were a pair of eyes burning with red flames. He deliberately wiped the metal gloves
It made a crackling sound, as if he was killing this boring time, or expressing his impatience. It took a lot of time, and there was a tendency to take pleasure in it." A hollow and hoarse voice came from under his helmet.
Floating out, it sounded a bit scary to others, but Soth himself had long been accustomed to this terrifying tone, "I'm thinking of teaching you a lesson."
The black-armored knight next to Soth immediately lowered his head respectfully. This is an NPC knight and his deputy. "Lord, I respect your power and swear allegiance to you and the Lord. So please believe me, I
I will never do anything against your will. "Are you really that kind of NPC with high AI?" Soth asked in a sarcastic tone.
The knight buried his head and did not answer.
However, at this moment, a figure appeared in front of him without warning. The person who came was a mage. He was wearing a purple robe, and the hood was rarely pulled up. He revealed a smiling face full of sunshine. This was a young man.
, ten years old, with clear eyes. According to Soth, he is the purest kind of lamb. Some little trouble. I'm late." The young man smiled apologetically at him. But if
If you don’t want to waste more time, you’d better come up with the evidence as soon as possible.”
The young man blinked. He was a little uncomfortable with Soth's way of talking. "Evidence?" He took out a large book two palms wide from his backpack. The book had a bright red title page and an inlaid inlaid on the front.
A huge eyeball. In fact, the eyeball is still moving slightly. Leader of the organization, nice to meet you." Question, now you are ready to pack your things and follow me to the south. The weather here is terrible... Oh, I am
Said, this place will soon become a less safe place. "Wait for someone." Magic Melody frowned, "My agreement with him." Well, before that, you'd better think about the power you will get.
As well as the prestige of the being who signed the contract with you, I think it is not too late to make a decision." There was a hint of sarcasm in Soth's words, but the magic melody did not notice it. The deeper he got, "Let me
Think about it, okay?" After saying these words, the young man turned his head and looked towards the north with a meaningful look. Related."
At the same time, in a dilapidated village in the south of Oras——
The peace in the Southern Territory has long been broken. Ever since a mysterious sect emerged in this land, the smoke of war has never stopped. Players have been more or less affected, and the content of conversations between people in the market is often inseparable from this mysterious sect.
organization; and more players directly threw themselves under the eagle flag with the emblem of the Hand of Despair. In the city or the countryside, the army composed of players and NPCs was advancing to the north.
But there are also a few special beings, and Andre and his team are one of them. In fact, before the war began, this group of like-minded partners got a mission with a long twist, which consumed a lot of their time.
, so that they have no intention to care about those wars or mysterious religions.
Now, Andre leads his team to the end of this mission. Now, they need to talk to a key figure in this mission. That is a mage. Although he lives in this humble mountain village, he has
Possessing extremely powerful power...
The candlelight in the simple wooden house is dim, and the old furniture makes the interior style look decadent; but there are a large number of books piled up in the small space, as well as many valuable alchemy equipment. You want to witness the power;
So you have found this place." A middle-aged mage wearing a black patterned robe sat indifferently in front of the group of friends and said in a tone as plain as boiled water. The mage standing in his team was named Kesa
Master Di has long, naturally curly hair. Although he is a little thin, his eyes are bright and lively.
The middle-aged mage pursed his lips and said nothing. He only raised his right hand and moved it slowly forward. The candlelight on the table suddenly drifted backwards, as if it was being strangled by an invisible big hand, and within a moment it exploded into a ball.
Dazzling sparks, and then the candlelight completely dimmed.
At that moment, everyone in Andre's team seemed to be suppressed to breathe, and the sudden suffocation even made them feel dizzy for a moment. How much?" The ranger who finally escaped from the heavy pressure looked pale. Young.
Andre claimed to be fearless, just as the bards sang: The heart is flying freely, in the forest or on the grass, moving forward indomitably!, but in the face of this oppressive force, he still had to lower his high head.
The middle-aged mage stared at the ranger with an unhappy face, seeming to find some malicious pleasure in the young man's embarrassment. He forced out a smile and nodded slowly. Kesa suddenly said decisively, and the candlelight dimmed in the room.
Reflecting his firm eyes, there seemed to be two blazing flames burning there.
The mage's cold words made Andre shiver. At this moment, he was actually a little afraid of his companion, and there seemed to be an element of uneasiness hidden in his fiery eyes.
The middle-aged mage raised his head and looked at Kesar with his sallow eyes. His skinny palms hidden under his rolled sleeves were tangled with veins and sometimes trembled nervously. He seemed a little excited. "Are you thirsty for power? But the road is long and difficult.
Death is also around, and you must first learn to face fear. Otherwise it will destroy your confidence."
Ksar's eyes never flinched, but Andre first asked carefully: "So, how to overcome this fear?" In many places, in order to pursue strength and explore ways to overcome fear, I have escaped death time and time again during my travels.
, and also left countless commemorative marks..." The middle-aged mage said as he stretched out his dead branch-like arms from his rolled sleeves to show everyone those terrible wounds, "But in the end, when I had strong power, I
Now I was wrong!"
The mage was silent for a moment, and then returned to his original calm tone: "The unknown exists in our hearts, and this is the source of fear." After saying this, he raised his head and asked, "Do you understand?"
Andre frowned, but the young mage's eyes sparkled...
The midsummer of Olas may imply life and vitality, but this year's summer lurks an element of instability. In the netherworld, a place where the sun can never reach, those carefully choreographed dramas are like those who planned them.
The chaos unfolded as expected. The chaos started from the fight between two families, and like a huge whirlpool, it gradually involved more and more forces, and finally even exceeded the imagination of the planners.
It was the bloody April of Latres. Countless lives disappeared quietly in this city. Half of the city was paralyzed in this turmoil. From this day on, this dark elf city will never regain its former glory. Will you check it?
Is it because we did it?" The goblin's unique voice echoed in the underground tunnel. It was a crow's mouth." Xiao Fen interrupted him mercilessly.
Yun Na was half leaning on a stalactite, with a hint of cunning in her blood-red eyes, "That is a perfect plan, no one will find out, from the moment the Zavier family was wiped out by the third family, this will
It is destined to become a secret forever." She glanced at the goblin again: "Unless someone talks too much, of course." She said calmly, just the tone of her voice and the corner of her eye made the goblin give up the idea of going out to publicize their glorious deeds.
Xue did not speak. She held the wooden necklace in her hand and buried her head as if thinking about something. Xiao Fen also cast his eyes on the necklace, recalling the scene that day in his mind...
In fact, he didn't actually see Fidlow that day. When he and Yunna arrived at the agreed place, he only saw the player named Falcon. The short and fat dwarf master seemed not to be there either. Falcon used his usual sharp eyes.
After sizing him up, he didn't seem to want to take the initiative to speak.
Falcon nodded, and then shook his head. "You." Falcon spread out his palms, revealing an exquisite cat-shaped wood carving necklace. The ornament made of a tree, she likes it very much." Falcon paused, "Of course this is just
A fake, you know, she didn't leave anything behind."
Xiao Fen narrowed his eyes: "What Federo means is, is he willing to forgive us?" Naturally, neither will her brother. Is this what he wants me to say to you..." Thoughts flowed,
The mage closed his eyes gently, "Thank you, Maya." He silently printed these words in his heart.
