Sword of Daybreaker

In the dark red velvet room on the top floor of the palace, Prince Nash and Benadido in the mirror seemed to be thinking about their own affairs. After an unknown period of time, Prince Nash, who was wearing a black robe and was tall and thin, broke first. Silence: "There are only two of us here, frankly speaking-do you think I am a qualified manager?"

"You shouldn’t ask me about this—you know, I have been set to be an forever loyal and trustful manager of Violet from the beginning of my birth. I will not question your decision, nor will I have any doubts about the kingdom of Violet. It turns into confusion," Bernadette's expression on her face became serious. She stood dignifiedly in the mirror, answering Nash Nalt’s question as meticulously as she did when she first woke up, "This is my existence. Foundation."

"Is there a life goal set at the beginning of the birth... In fact, in this respect, we are all the same," Prince Nash listened to the answer of the man in the mirror, and suddenly a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face. "We were born in this world. On, from the very beginning, I have set my own identities and responsibilities, farmers, merchants, craftsmen, scholars, nobles, warriors... and me, the "Prince of the Secret Law". You are right, we don’t have to deal with Violet. Doubts arise in operation. It is a tightly-fitted machine. At the beginning of its birth, the rules of operation were set. As a part of the machine, we can rotate it at our own position."

Today's Prince Nash seems to be more sentimental than usual. Benadido in the mirror just looked at him quietly, with no surprises in his eyes-this is a very normal phenomenon, because today is a "day of prayer", sleeping The Lord will release His breath from the dream, listen to and respond to the voices of the people, and in the days when the Lord is closest to the world, those "chosen ones" who are closest to the Lord will inevitably be affected. , Either become sentimental, or become suspicious, or hear or see many things that don't exist in the world. Compared with those who have been talking about them for several days, Prince Nash's reaction is already mild.

She waited quietly for Nash Nalt to return to normal, and then saw the other party walk to the desk with an arc surface. He picked up an opened letter from the desk and looked carefully on it. Moving, with seriousness and thought in his expression, this made Bena Dido couldn't help being a little curious: "Letter? You seem to have read that letter for a long time. This is not common...Where did it come from?"

   "From the Cecil Empire," Prince Nash raised the letter in his hand, "The giant in the alliance."

  "Diplomats handed out letters? This is not the first time," Bernadette blinked, "I have never seen you so caring before."

"Because this letter was written by Gawain Cecil himself," Prince Nash's expression became a little serious, and he slowly put the letter back on the table as he said, "It looks like... that person The energetic and long-sighted human ruler finally has time to devote more energy to us, and he is curious about our closed country."

Benadido’s expression was finally surprised. She seemed to want to poke her head to see the content of the letter-of course it was not successful. She could only ask aloud: "The human pioneer who came back from the dead is in the letter. What did it say?"

"In addition to the ceremonial greetings and the topic of inviting to join the route around the continent, he also mentioned... about the problem of the wizards of Loren continent traveling in the Violet Kingdom," Prince Nash said with a weird expression, "I. At first he thought he was referring to those mages who were apprentices in the city of a thousand towers, but it didn't look like that. He was referring to ordinary wanderers. He asked the Violet Kingdom if such wandering mages were allowed to enter the city of a thousand towers... …I feel very strange."

"...Why did he suddenly pay attention to this matter?" Benadido frowned, "And speaking of the travel wizard... the hinterland of the Violet Kingdom has always forbidden outsiders to enter, this matter is not a secret, as the head of a country, How could he think of intervening in this matter himself?"

"He didn't say it clearly in the letter, but I thought of the news from the spies sent to Beigang and Winter County a few days ago," Prince Nash said lightly. "The spies said that the Wilde family in the north of Loren suddenly started investigating something. Very old information. In some of the more public information, they saw a name called'Modil Wilde'..."

  Benadedo frowned slightly: "Modil Wilde... I seem to have an impression? Wait a minute... I will check the library."

As the Tarring of the dark court and as the curator of the "Great Library", Benadido holds most of the "memory" of the entire Violet Kingdom. She knows what the mages who travel abroad know, and also Knowing the history and endless secrets of this country, and almost at the same time as her voice fell, this powerful man-made soul had found Modil Wilde's name in the large library.

"I found... an ancient man six hundred years ago, who was once the master of the Wilde family-but he seems to be more keen on adventures and travels than he is a human nobleman," in the mirror, Bernadette The room behind her turned into an extremely wide library. Countless bookshelves and quaint collections of books were stacked behind her, circling and arranged, and a large book (decorative) appeared in her hand. Pretending to read the above text, he nodded and said, "There are records showing that he even tried to find the secret route of Gawain Cecil in the past and the clues to the origin of the silver elf... Let me see what is written at the end of the record. , Ah, there is—

"This great adventurer disappeared during his last adventure. Records indicate that he briefly appeared in the north of the moss woods during his last journey, and is still continuing to move north. That is the last trace he left in the world. …At that time, his disappearance caused a great disturbance in Anzu. The Wilde family and the Anzu royal family mobilized half of the country to find their duke, and the search operation covered almost the entire northern continent. The result was of course nothing. And that large-scale operation also attracted the attention of spies, so relevant information was also sent back to the Violet Kingdom."

Benedetto's words fell, closed the book, and the large library behind her returned to the original room. She nodded to Prince Nash in front of the mirror: "This is all the information. It seems that the Cecilians are suspicious. Their great adventurer who disappeared that year came to our side by'touring'?"

Prince Nash’s brows were not stretched at all, but he wrinkled even more. The expression on his face became more and more confused: "Then I can't understand it-an ancient person who disappeared six hundred years ago, how come Cecil suddenly remembered To find his clues? And also put the search target on us?"

  Benadedo thought about it carefully, and said seriously: "Because they react slowly?"

   Prince Nash: "...I'm not kidding."

Seeing the serious expression on Nash’s face, Benadido in the mirror also put away the joking thoughts. After a short period of thought, she broke the silence: “It seems that the incident did not take the big adventurer Mo Dir's disappearance ended--to this day, there may have been some new changes in the affairs of the'ancient man', and this change is so great that the rulers of the Cecil Empire have to personally intervene..."

"The new change...Is another resurrection of the dead?" Prince Nash used a plain and casual tone, but his eyes were more serious than before. After a moment of hesitation, he still couldn't help looking at the person in the mirror to confirm Once again, "Retrieve your library-did the human mage named Modil really visit Violet? The Cecils value this matter so much, they shouldn’t just let it go. judgment……"

"I've searched it when I was'joking' with you, Nash," Bernadette shook his head, and said regretfully, "Unfortunately, that great adventurer really never came back then—you It should be known that no one can hide from my eyes when approaching the hinterland of Violet. Under the gaze of "Eye of Night", everything in the city of a thousand towers and the surrounding area will be recorded in the 10,000-volume collection of the Great Library. ."

"No one can hide from the eyes of the night..." Prince Nash murmured softly, and then stepped from the desk to the bay window at the end of the room. Through the pure crystal glass, he overlooked the thousand towers. Afterwards, he looked over the ancient and stacked urban area below, over the high walls of the city of a thousand towers, and looked at the lush forest outside the city that seemed to be endless.

In the hinterland of the Violet Kingdom, there is no road connection between the cities, and the city of a thousand towers is also surrounded by dense forests with no dead ends. The various areas are full of forests and fog that cannot be reached and passed. For the outsiders who are not invited , Even if they really have some ability to recognize the way in the forest and the fog, they will not be able to pass through those barriers to reach the city of a thousand towers.

Because the "path" does not exist at all-in the real "horizon", the cities are filled with huge voids that cannot be crossed from the present world. The so-called forests and fog are only curtains created to cover those voids, just like drama The sceneries and obstructions on the stage are similar, concealing the rotating gears and mechanisms under the stage.

  How could there be a "human traveling mage" who passed through those forests and fog and got lost in the city of a thousand towers?

  Prince Nash smiled and shook his head, pacing back to the desk, Benedetto in the mirror asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

"Basic etiquette and respect are necessary. I will write a reply first," Prince Nash said casually while reaching for the pen and paper beside him. Then he hesitated and added, "In addition, I decided to accept Part of the invitation from the'Alliance' allowed the peripheral cities of the Violet Kingdom to join the alliance's circum-continental route in the form of an'independent trading city'.

  Benadedo's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise: "Didn't you always have no interest in that route around the mainland?"

"Who said I'm not interested?" Nash raised an eyebrow, "I'm just not interested in the so-called'trade', but for the changes in the situation in the Loren continent...I have always been very interested. And our Lord Gang I gave an order to maintain our involvement in the mainland of Loren. At this time, I let some peripheral cities join the route around the mainland. Obviously, there are good reasons."

  ……

As the dusk approached, the sky light slanted into the study room covered with blue velvet carpet. The sunlight cast bright spots on a metal decoration on the edge of the desk. Gawain stopped reviewing the documents and looked up. Xiang Amber, who is standing opposite to him: "Count the time, Victoria should be approaching the eternal storm sea area by now, right?"

"Almost, after all, she flew directly over, much faster than the ship," Amber said casually, his eyes rolled, and an untuned expression appeared on his face, "Hey, you said, that ice cube face is really What kind of expression will it look like after seeing my ancestors? If that Modil was really Modil Wilde six hundred years ago..."

"I don't know, and I'm too lazy to guess. I only know that Victoria is a calm person. She won't knock on the coffin of the ancients like you." Gawain glanced at the half-elf, and then turned around. "The'door' project Is there any new news coming from there?"

"Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the progress is very fast," Amber replied immediately. "The energy part we are responsible for is mature technology, and Carmel personally supervises it. Basically, it only needs to complete the construction of the facility step by step. Yes, as for the Typhons...the "door opening" technology they have at hand seems to be very mature, and even many portal components are finished products that have been built in their country and sent directly to the fort for installation. According to Kamai According to Er, Typhon people are very confident in this matter, and they have shown full sincerity and enthusiasm for work..."

"Their technology should have been mature," Gawain smiled, nodded and said, "After all, it is the ready-made knowledge that the Augustus family obtained directly from the Eye of God, I am afraid that even the blueprint has been stolen directly. If it weren’t for the basic energy part that couldn’t be skipped, they might even be able to open the door without our help.”

   "It's true, after all, there are ready-made..." Amber nodded, but when she was halfway through her words, she looked out the window of the study room in amazement, "Ah, why are they here?"

Before she finished speaking, Gawain had already sensed the presence of breath. He turned his head and looked at the wide French window, while two figures about the size of a dog flew awkwardly and staggered in the air—they were two beautiful The blue wyrmlings with fine scales and bright eyes, they flew from the direction of Embassy Street, and after an unfamiliar deceleration, they slammed into the small platform outside the French window with almost crashing momentum. Gao Wen had only time to "hey" With one sound, two "bangs" were heard before and after. One young dragon hit the window frame and the other hit the platform.

  This needs to be replaced by an ordinary human, at least with a second-degree disability.

However, the two young dragons only panicked, and quickly recovered from their small dizziness. They scrambled to their feet, shoved to the front of the glass, stared at the Amber and Gao in the room. Wen's big eyes met his small eyes, then he raised his head unanimously, and started smashing the window sash with his hard nose.

"Hey, how come these two little guys are here again... and in just a few days, they can fly all the way from the embassy?" Gao Wen said in surprise, and then he realized that it was not very strong. The window may not be able to withstand the evil of the two young dragons, so I quickly got up to open the window, "Hey, stop, stop, don't bump, don't bump, I'll open the window for you..."

Amber stared at this scene, and suddenly reacted: "Hey! You are also walking through the windows, why do you treat them so differently from me! And you didn't set up shields for all windows before. Huh? Why is it gone?"
