Emperor Grantodi had a romantic life, leaving behind countless heirs. Among these princes and princesses, the only ones who truly have the right to inherit are the sons and daughters of Queen Ophelia, among whom the Silver Queen is the Queen's.
The third daughter is deeply loved by His Majesty and the Queen. In the south of Warnd under the rule of the Temple of Fire, there are countless princesses in dozens of large and small countries. If these princesses are compared to the stars in the night sky, then
Among the billions of stars, there are always one or two that are the most dazzling, just like the nun princess Magdal and Eruin’s pearl Griffin, which Brando is familiar with, but in Six
Ten years ago, the night sky of that era belonged to only one person.
That is the Silver Princess, Constance——
Constance can be said to be one of those people who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. As the daughter of Emperor Grantotti and Queen Ophelia, she has an extremely noble background. As she grows up day by day, her beauty
Gradually word spread outside the empire, even as far away as St. Osor where the wind elves live, in Farnzan in the north, and in the ten-city area ruled by free mercenaries and merchants, people are discussing this man.
Her Royal Highness the princess of the Cruz people. Moreover, Constance is also an apocalypse. When she was born, she possessed part of the silver bloodline - this is also the origin of the title of princess. In her girlhood, Master Gerut, the chief palace wizard of the Cruz Empire
It was asserted that she would become the most outstanding wizard in the future empire. Just like the scholar girl Shiduo, Constance's outstanding talent quickly attracted the attention of the Buga people. Adjani, the wizard leader of the Silver Society,
Her Majesty the Queen once taught her as a girl for quite some time.
But these alone are not enough to make her the successor of the empire. Don't forget that she also has two brothers. Although the eldest son of Emperor Grantu was injured in the Northern War, he has been suffering from constant injuries since then. At the age of twenty-seven,
He died young, but his second son was talented, intelligent, and as gentle as his elder brother. He also had the support of the prime minister. From every aspect, he was the best candidate to succeed. For Granto
For the emperor, the best choice is to let his second son inherit the throne. Let his youngest daughter Constance become the court mage or enter the Temple of Fire. For the royal family, this is undoubtedly the best of both worlds.
Brando knew that there had been such a big deviation in the final development of things - the Silver Queen finally took over the throne from the Emperor, and some earth-shattering accidents must have happened - these accidents were obviously the war in Alkhash
happened above.
He asked: "What exactly did they encounter there? And what does it have to do with my grandfather? Is the trial of my grandfather an attempt to cover up the truth?"
"Don't be anxious, take your time, little guy. They passed through the fog, guess what they saw there." Tullaman looked at Brando with interest: "They found the inheritance of the Dark Dragon."
"The inheritance of the Dark Dragon?" Brando was startled and shook his hands guiltily. In today's Warnd, those who have anything to do with the Dark Dragon are basically like street rats. Look at the witches
Their situation is understandable. They were just suspected by the world of having an affair with the Dragon of Darkness. And the former servants of the Dragon of Darkness, the Miner people, were expelled from the civilized world and disappeared into the great glacier.
For thousands of years, the last person in the human world with Miner blood was the Grand Knight Dobde of the Knights of Gresius six hundred years ago. He was found to have a quarter of the Miner blood.
Burned at the stake, that dark era makes people shudder even just thinking about it.
Although it is not as strict as it was hundreds of years ago. However, the Silver Queen will never inherit the crown because she has obtained the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. Not to mention the throne, there is a greater possibility that it will be treated as an ulterior scandal by the royal family.
Imprisoned forever. But the development of history is strangely contrary to common sense. At least everyone in the world knows who the supreme emperor Cruz is now.
"It was that person's inheritance. When Constance discovered them, they were sealed in two broken crystals."
"Two broken crystals?" Brando's heart beat much faster. Isn't this the soul gem?
Tullaman nodded: "There has been a legend among the mountain people who have lived in Wallachi for a long time: It is said that before the decisive battle, the Dark Dragon sealed part of its soul mark in a gray gem.
The Gray Gem was discovered by a team of explorers in the Great Valley of the White Mountains. It was called the Crown of Gray Valley. The Crown of Gray Valley was artificially divided into several parts after the final battle. The person who divided the gem was Conrad.
The legendary craftsman who had a quarter of the blood of mountain people completed this work in a valley in Walaqi. Many mountain people were captured and used as coolies. Most of them were killed afterwards, but
There are still a few people who survived, so this legend has been passed down orally by the surviving people and has been passed down to this day."
"And what Constance discovered were two of the Crown of Ashenvale that was split into six. The Min'er people call these broken crystals soul gems."
Brando stood there, silent, and continued to ask for a long time: "What then?"
Turaman smiled slightly and changed the topic: "Everyone in the world knows that Odin, the dragon of darkness, is the source of all evil and a tyrant. However, mortals' jealousy of the Min'er people and their coveting of the tyrant's power have never stopped for a moment.
Why are people so keen on finding the battlefield for the last battle? Because it is said that the Dark Dragon left behind the inheritance of the Min'er people - the only inheritance of golden blood after the dragon clan since the mortal era.
On that battlefield."
"The Dragon of Darkness left the inheritance of the Min'er people on the battlefield of the final battle?" Brando frowned: "How could anyone believe such ridiculous rumors? If Odin left that inheritance on the battlefield, four people would
How can a sage remain indifferent? Besides, aren’t there people of silver participating in the war?”
"You think this reason sounds ridiculous," Tullaman smiled and asked Brando: "In fact, it is not the case. There is a reason why this kind of rumor spreads. For thousands of years, people have tried their best to
They tried their best to search for the glorious inheritance of the Min'er people, but found nothing. The only place left was the battlefield of the final battle. However, the four sages remained tight-lipped about the outcome of the final battle after the Battle of the Saints.
.Even the people of Silver have sworn a sacred covenant with their hands to stick to a certain secret. In fact, everyone in the world knows what that secret is about."
"The inheritance of the Dark Dragon is too sensitive. If you want to get it, it will be difficult for the world to bypass the justice of the Saint's War, but the knowledge and civilization of the Min'er people are not the same. Constance is an imperial princess, so naturally
Knowing this, in fact, her goal was the latter from the beginning. If the empire can inherit the golden civilization, it will definitely be superior to Saint Osor and Faenzan, and it will also be able to make the imperial power superior to the Temple of Fire.
Constance knows very well that since the inheritance of the Dark Dragon is here, then that rumor is probably true, and the inheritance of the Miner people is also here."
"But she also knew that it would be unrealistic for her and Gwendolyn to completely search the entire battlefield -" Tullaman paused: "Of course. At that time, she didn't know what Gwendolyn and the others were.
Naturally, all she could think of to find out her true identity was me and Darus, your grandfather. At that time, your grandfather was the marshal of the Flame Temple Alliance, and Constance was your grandfather's deputy. In fact, she was just a deputy.
One of them, after all, has to command such a large coalition. It is impossible for your grandfather to have only one capable general. At that time, he had several more important deputies, one of whom was Marshal Darren Hill of the Principality of Antobra, and the other one was me.
.”
Darren Hill, this is the first time Brando has heard of this name. However, most of the top leaders of the coalition are held by the best and outstanding soldiers from various countries designated by the Temple of Fire. I am afraid that this marshal was also from the Principality of Antobra.
An extraordinary person. When he mentioned this small country located in the southeast of the Cruz Empire, the first thing he could think of was the nun and princess.
Thinking of Magdal's pure appearance like a goddess and her firm and kind heart, Brando couldn't help but feel dazed. Such an outstanding princess is naturally worthy of being sought after by the world, even the Temple of Flame is no exception, but
How many people know that there may be an inhuman soul hidden in the body of Her Royal Highness the Princess?
He shook his head and threw this idea out of his mind, and listened to Tulaman continue: "After she returned to the coalition forces, she immediately ordered your grandfather as the imperial princess to send an army into the final battlefield to find information about the Miner people.
Inheritance. But Constance is a very shrewd woman. Even when she was the princess of the empire, her extraordinary wisdom had already emerged. She knew about my relationship with the Buga people, so she privately begged me not to reveal this secret to
Silver Society, she also knows very well the feelings that Darus and I have towards Eruin, so she made an oath that if one day the empire gets the inheritance of the golden civilization and stands on top of the world, it will definitely make Eruin gain permanent and real power.
Independence, the oath she swore in the name of Gilt, the Flame King, the ancestor of the Cruz people, is naturally true and trustworthy, so your grandfather and I were impressed from the beginning."
Having said this, Turaman sighed: "This is because I know very well that this little princess of the empire has an outstanding mind, is rational and clear-headed, and will never covet the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. And the inheritance of the golden civilization, for Bu
It’s not a taboo for Canadians. The torch of civilization is passed down from generation to generation. In fact, it’s something we like to see, so I agreed to it for your grandfather.”
"Where is my grandfather?" Brando couldn't help asking.
This question made the elder of the Silver Alliance standing in front of him twitch his snow-white eyebrows, look at him a little strangely and reply: "Little guy, your grandfather was young, powerful and handsome at that time, and he had great prestige in the Temple of Fire.
Gradually, Emperor Grantodi even intended to let him join the empire, and he also accepted the position of marshal, but he was rejected by the old guy with the stubbornness and pride unique to the Eruin people." Although it was true.
Saying this, the old man's wrinkled face couldn't help but flash a hint of praise and appreciation. This was his old friend and the backbone of the Eruin people. However, the pride was quickly replaced by loneliness, and he shook his head.
He shook his head and said: "Girls have admired heroes and knights since ancient times, and an outstanding woman like Princess Constance naturally has her eyes set higher than the top. Under the rule of the entire Flame Temple, who can give her a high look is probably
It’s just your grandfather.”
Brando almost spat out a mouthful of water. He was so shocked that he couldn't help but blurt out: "You mean my grandfather and Her Majesty the Queen..." The words got stuck behind the word "she", leaving him to let his imagination run wild.
Rich, could not believe that his grandfather almost became the man of the Silver Queen. And that woman now rules the mountains from the Khazer Plateau in the west, to the Field of Clover in the east, to Amman in the south, and in the north
The master of such a vast area as the Elranta Sea, the supreme ruler of the empire, and the emperor of the Cruz people.
Although sometimes the reality was more absurd than the most bizarre chivalric novel, this was still too outrageous, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
Tullaman nodded solemnly: "Although this love affair has never surfaced, the relationship between your grandfather and Her Royal Highness the Princess was actually an open secret within the coalition at that time, so your grandfather was involved in both public and private affairs.
Promise, Your Highness the Princess."
"What we didn't expect was that two days after the incident, an unexpected turn took place for all of us. No one expected that. That very night, the news quietly spread and spread to the people of St. Osol.
In the ears of the elves and the Faenzan people, by the time we reacted, the whole thing was completely messed up. In order to get ahead of us, the Faenzan and the wind elves took the lead in sending troops into the final battle, regardless of the opposition of the Buga people.
The battlefield. Because of this incident, Her Royal Highness the Princess was extremely disappointed with your grandfather. That night, I, your grandfather, and Gwendolyn were the only three people who knew the secret.
, there is no opportunity, no time to deliver the news, and I am half of the blood of the Silver People, and I have no such motive. After ruling it out, only your grandfather is the most suspect."
Brando did not interrupt. But he also knew in his heart that if he were the first person to suspect in that environment, he would definitely be his grandfather. If he were in another position, and he was in his grandfather's position, he might also consider
The news spread. If personal emotional factors are excluded, for Eruin, the best situation on the continent should be that St. Osor, Faenzan and the Cruz Empire restrain each other and maintain the balance of power. In this way, Eruin is like this
Only a small country has a chance to survive. Although the oath sworn by the Silver Queen is true and trustworthy, it is only her oath after all. Not to mention that she was not the emperor of the empire at that time. Even if she was, after a hundred years, she would not be the emperor of the empire.
Woolen cloth?
Therefore, the best way is to spread the news, muddy the water, let the Buga people intervene, and make everyone lose the opportunity.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Is it really my grandfather..."
"Of course not." Tullaman shook his head categorically: "Who is your grandfather? How could he be double-dealing in front of his woman? He is an upright hero. Even if there are legitimate reasons, he does not bother to use these conspiracies. But then
At that time, Her Royal Highness the Princess could not listen to his explanation at all. She directly exercised the imperial princess's power of supervision over the coalition forces, deprived your grandfather of his command rights, put him under house arrest, and then led the army into the final battlefield."
The old man sighed: "Actually, with your grandfather's prestige at the time, it was very easy to oppose Constance. Although she nominally had the hidden identity of Supervisory Army, after all, there were not only Cruz people in the coalition, not to mention just relying on
It is unjustifiable to deprive the marshal of the coalition forces of his military power on suspicion. It is a pity that your grandfather was unwilling to fall out with Her Royal Highness the Princess, which also led to the subsequent tragedy."
"The tragedy that followed?" Brando couldn't help but frown and asked cautiously. He only knew that his grandfather was tried by the Temple of Fire, and Her Royal Highness the Princess inherited the throne soon after that.
It seems that Gwendolyn and the other three-headed dragons were expelled from the dragon clan and banished to the underground of Jorgandigan, and ordered not to set foot in Warnd. But what exactly happened, although there are different opinions, there is still no conclusion.
Legend has it that his grandfather was attacked from behind when he was deep in the Alkhash Mountains. Whether this was due to the persecution and conspiracy of the temple or some other reason is unknown.
"You should have guessed it. Now it seems that it was actually Gwendolyn and the three of them who passed on the news. As the princess's servants, they naturally had no chance, no motive or reason. However, as dragons, their
Their behavior is understandable. They tempted Constance to find the inheritance of the Miner people, but their real purpose was actually the soul gem left by the Dark Dragon. Now that they had found the fragment of the Crown of Ashenvale, what should they do?
Are you willing to give up easily?"
"Earlier, they were on the same front as Her Royal Highness the Princess. However, now, Constance wants to control the situation and control everything within the scope that the empire can bear. From this moment on, their goals are in opposite directions. Therefore, Ge
Wendolin and the others immediately spread the news to muddy the waters first. Then they waited for an opportunity to seize the Soul Stone - their purpose was naturally for the legend about the return of the Dark Dragon in the Prophecy of Darkness."
At this point, Tullaman gave Brando a thoughtful look, which made him break into cold sweat before he continued:
"Originally, their conspiracy almost succeeded, but no one expected that the secrets on the battlefield of the final battle were far from as simple as they imagined." His voice became a little distant, as if he was recalling what happened at that time.
Everything: "When the Cruzes, Faenzans, and Wind Elves all entered the mist-shrouded battlefield, something terrible happened. The soldiers lost their minds one after another, as if they were controlled by invisible forces. At first, they
Fighting each other until there are fewer and fewer people who can still maintain their sanity... What's even more frightening is that this situation is spreading like a plague. It is no longer limited to the fog, even the coalition forces stationed outside the battlefield
The army has also begun to be affected."
"Things got out of hand. When the Bugas wanted to intervene, it was already a step too late. As the Bugis' liaison in the Cruz coalition, I naturally learned about the news at the first time. I knew at that moment
Trouble is coming - there is only one possibility in this situation right now, that is, there must be a huge seal on the final battlefield, and there is some kind of evil sealed underneath that we don't know about - and now, someone has touched this seal. We
We immediately informed the Silver Alliance headquarters. After searching in ancient books and dictating from some sages who survived the Battle of the Saints, we confirmed the news. The secret that the four sages kept silent about in the final battle was indeed related to this seal.
As for what this seal is, even the People of Silver have no record at all. There is only a written description describing the situation at that time..."
"That text was actually written in the appendix of the Holy Covenant, and it is described as follows: 'I, Elroy Mithril, in the name of the People of Silver, swear on the Holy Covenant, in the name of the four sages.
Under the witness, the Silver People will from now on shoulder the responsibility of monitoring the entire world and keep this secret until the prophecy is fulfilled.'"
"That prophecy?"
"The prophecy is also written at the end of the appendix, and it is described like this:"
‘XVI:THETOWER——
The lost moon takes away the light
XX:JUDGEMENT——
The light is lost.
XVII:THESTAR——
The Silver Generation was lost on the earth and marched forward in darkness and ignorance.
VIII:STRENGTH——
The chance encounter between the emperor and the fool.
IX:THEHERMIT——
The rusty clockwork is being reset.
XXI:THEWORLD——
The sword that changes destiny.
Half of the silver blood flows in his body, and Tullaman's memory is so good that he described the entire prophecy word for word. Brando couldn't help but feel horrified after hearing the entire prophecy, because he suddenly realized that he had seen this
Prophecy. When he first traveled to this world, in those consecutive dreams, he had witnessed the previous paragraph of this prophecy more than once.
"What exactly does this language describe?" He couldn't help but blurt out and asked.
But Turaman shook his head: "We don't know either. Elroy is the previous generation wizard leader of the Silver Society. Even he has never mentioned why the upper level in the appendix added such a paragraph, let alone he himself.
Lu Zhinian unfortunately died in an accident, and it is impossible for us to seek confirmation from him."
"Then what is sealed under the battlefield of the final battle?"
"It's... crystal," Turaman hesitated: "There is a majestic temple behind the mist. According to the description, the temple is sixty-six feet high, with both sides hidden in the mist. I don't know how tall it is.
It is wide, and it seems to be the place where the last battle took place. The damage in the temple is very serious, and in the center of the temple, a huge purple crystal is inserted diagonally among the ruins. The crystal seems to have fallen from the sky.
, inserted directly into the solid marble floor of the temple, causing the stone slabs and soil to arch, and half of the crystal's volume was buried underground. Anyone who comes close to the crystal will be assimilated by the crystal and become a monster..."
"Become a monster," Brando frowned, feeling something in his heart, and asked: "Become such a monster?"
Turaman patted the back of his neck lightly: "From here, sheets of crystalline horny matter will grow, and then the whole person will gradually be assimilated by the crystal, turning into a monster similar to half human and half crystal. At this time
He has completely lost his mind and has become like a wild beast, ferocious and murderous, and extremely hates the same kind of humans - or wind elves."
Crystallization disease——
Brando already understood what it was, and he couldn't help but immediately think of the crystallized monster he encountered in Ampelsel. There is only one thing that can cause crystallization disease, and that is the Saumir crystal.
