In the hall of Rose Manor, Butler Bertram hugged Kate and asked: "Where is Master Steven? Is he okay?"
Kate and Mrs. Beth kissed each other and replied: "Steven should be on his way through the Glen Mountains now. He is fine and will be back in a few months!"
After seeing that the housekeeper and Beth were obviously relieved, Kate added: "This is the companion Steven and I met on the journey. Let me introduce it to you! This is Jane...this is Blake.
.....”
Jane and Blake took turns to come forward to greet the butler and Beth. After learning that several people had not had dinner yet, Butler Berendt ordered the servants to prepare dinner quickly, and the deserted Rose Manor began to become lively...
............
At this time, Steven's situation deep in the Glen Mountains was not as good as Kate expected!
Two thoughts competed to control his spiritual world, and his brain was confused and confused by the memories and information from another world...
............
As the sun sets, in the cemetery behind the church, a tall figure leads two small figures. In front of them are three tombstones that have just been erected. They have been standing in front of the tombstones for a long time! The setting sun is about to sink into the horizon.
The tall figure turned to the small figure holding the hand and said: "Little Kate, you can live with Steven from now on! Your parents are temporarily away from home, and they are with Steven's mother! From now on
From now on, you two are brothers!...Let's go! Let's go home!"...

"I'm sorry! Lin Xiang! It's not easy for my parents to raise me! How could I not listen to them! I don't want to lose you! ...I really don't want to! But there is no way! I will do it for you
Blessings and prayers! Please don’t lose hope! I love you forever!…”
............
The two memories were described in two languages. One moment he felt that he was Lin Xiang, and the next moment he felt that he was Steven. Gradually, he completely lost himself...

At the end of April 2137 in the Bright Calendar, the Miracle Valley in the middle of the Kagard Mountains.
This flat and straight valley bisects the majestic Kagade Mountains!
It connects the Principality of Slade, the capital of the Northern and Southern Alliance, and the Principality of Livingston in the north. Most of the exchanges between the Northern and Southern Alliance are carried out from this highway called the Avenue of Light in the valley.
The steam train railway connecting the north and the south under construction is about to be completed. All this seems to indicate that human civilization is entering a new peak!
However, what is even more eye-catching are the representatives of religion, history and culture on both sides of the middle section of Miracle Valley: St. Lawrence City and the Glorious Cathedral on the hillside opposite it! This is also the general residence of the Glorious Holy Cult.
According to legend, it was the Holy Lord of Glory who opened up the Miracle Valley. He split the Kargard Mountains with one sword, allowing humans to easily cross the mountains and carry out trade and cultural exchanges on the Grant Continent, thus giving birth to the civilization that existed hundreds of years ago.
The pinnacle of human civilization: the Rhine Empire, the pinnacle of glory that unified the continent.
The Glory Cathedral consists of dense spire buildings surrounding the main lobby spire, which is the tallest in the center and is like the main peak. It shines with golden light. At this time, the church bell rang. The bell was majestic and melodious, echoing in the valley. The bell on the west peak
The sunset is about to set over the mountains.
The peak more than ten kilometers behind the Glorious Cathedral is the main peak of the Kagard Mountains: Nominastine Peak. This peak with an altitude of more than 8,000 meters is covered with snow all year round. At this time, the setting sun reflects on the snow-covered peaks.
The white snow-capped mountains are dyed golden, and the shadow cast by the setting sun slowly moves from the golden cathedral to the main peak behind it. Time is displayed here in a way that transcends the ordinary.
David Conrad pulled out his white horse Alice from the stables of the military camp next to St. Lawrence City. He hung the knight's shield behind his back on the hook on the side of the horse. He turned on the horse and flicked the reins. The white horse neighed happily.
, spread his hooves and rushed towards the entrance of the military camp, leaving the acolyte who delivered the message far behind.
Soon the horse jumped out of the barracks. Conard returned the salute to the knight at the door with his fists pressed to his chest, and then he rode towards the glorious cathedral on the other side of the valley.
Conard is 50 years old this year. Although the short hair on his head is completely white, his spirit is still full and determined. His body is very strong due to years of continuous training. At this time, he has arrived at the foot of the hillside on horseback.
Beside the square.
Turning over and dismounting, he led Liz around from the square into the side entrance of the cathedral, tied the horse to the stable and hurried to the side hall of the cathedral.
Conard walked quickly along the wide marble corridor. Every ten meters on the outer wall of the long corridor, there was a tall and narrow glass window with gold and blue window grilles on it. The setting sun from the outer window filtered in, and the slanted
Long shadows of light fell on the white marble floor. After crossing the light and shadow, he finally came to a hall at the end of the corridor.
The four walls of the hall, except for the windows, were covered with bookshelves, filled with books. Standing at the wooden table in the middle of the hall was a middle-aged deacon wearing a round hat. When he saw Conrad, he bent down and offered a hand.
He made a cross with his chest, and Conard also returned a cross. The aide stood up straight and said: "Commander Conard, Elder Alexander is waiting for you! Please follow me."
He turned around and led Conrad into a wooden door in the middle of the bookshelf.
After opening the door, there is a study room of dozens of square meters. Behind the desk is also a bookshelf covering the wall, filled with books.
An old man in a round hat was sitting behind the desk, holding a quill pen and writing on a letter. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he raised his head and glanced at the two people who came in from above the glasses under his nose. A middle-aged deacon.
After bowing to him, he turned around and exited the room. After writing the last few strokes, the old man put down the quill in his hand.
"Conrad! I'm afraid you have to lead a team to go there this time! It's about the legendary staff!" Elder Alexander said.
"Oh! Where did it appear?" asked Conrad.
"It can only be said that it may appear there! It is not certain yet, but in view of its importance, we cannot ignore any chance of getting it! The Elders Council unanimously decided that you will lead the team to the ancient ruins deep in the Seren Desert.
, According to the prophecies in the scriptures, if nothing unexpected happens, it should, maybe, appear in that ruins!" Elder Alexander stood up and said.
Conard said: "Okay! When should I set off?"
"Let's set off tomorrow! You can choose the knights of the Knights to form a small team. This is a letter to Bishop Fela of the Principality of Fortis. You can bring it to him by the way. If you need help, you can also tell him. Lord Fela
The church will do its best to help you!" Elder Alexander sealed the letter on the table, stamped it with ink pads, and handed it to Conrad.
"Ask for other necessary information from Assistant Sander after you go out. He will be outside."
After saluting Elder Alexander, Conrad took the envelope and exited the study. He got the mission order, map and other information from the aide Sander, and then he left the cathedral side hall along the corridor.
After taking out the white horse from the stable, he walked around the square. At this time, the sunset had already set among the mountains. Several circles of gas lamps were lit around the square. After Conrad walked out of the square, he rode on the white horse and headed towards his home in St. Lawrence City.
