Everyone passed through the wooden platform at the entrance of the hotel. The air-exposed wooden boards made a squeaking sound, like a door that had not been oiled for many years. The bright bonfire on the stone platform not far away has now been extinguished, and no one has the intention to take care of it, leaving only a mess.

Walking up the steps, the boiler inside the gate was emitting a dark red light from the window, making a whirlwind sound. A small monster stood listlessly next to the crystal ore, holding his knees and pecking his head and dozing.

The miscellaneous witch was still in place, but she lowered her head and no longer shook her rusty arms to greet every guest entering the hotel. She just didn't move, and a hole was cracked in the record crystal.

I don't know when the puppet broke, but no one cared about it. Tianlan looked at the empty shell and couldn't help but feel sad, "I didn't look like this last time I came." She murmured to herself.

But the last time they came, it was more than a year ago.

"Hello, Mr. Shayek." Fang Yu saw the hunched figure standing in the dark in the hall, and suddenly understood who Princess Brian said was waiting for them here.

"Hello, young man." Shayek replied slowly in a hoarse voice.

This old housekeeper had a more bent waist than when they saw him last time. I don’t know if it was an illusion caused by the shadows. The wrinkles on his face also deepened a lot, which always gave people a feeling that it seemed that the other party had grown much older again during this period.

Princess Brian's low voice came from his ears: "It was this person who looked at us from behind the window. I don't know what your relationship is with him."

Fang Yu turned around, but saw the elf princess with a hood hanging on her face, facing forward motionlessly, and she didn't seem to have spoken, and she didn't know how she sent the voice over.

Then he turned around and spoke to the old housekeeper: "Mr. Shayek, we are here to find the master of this place, the one you follow. You should know that he asked us to go to the Southern Class for something, and now we have brought back both the things and the results."

He paused, "But we got news from the Black Goat Chamber when we were in Iron Reef Bay that he and Mr. Lucius were no longer in this place, is that true?"

Shayek walked out of the shadow, and the fire in the furnace reflected the old face.

He quietly looked at everyone with gray, glittering dim silver eyes, and then answered: "You have made a mistake, young man, master, he has sold this place to your people, and now this place no longer belongs to us."

He slowly turned his back and made a gesture of invitation, "But I know what you are here. Actually, I have been waiting for you here for quite some time. Please follow me."

The old butler walked forward first and walked towards the corridor in that direction.

Fang Zhu looked at each other and hurriedly chased after him.

The pale moonlight shone through the windows on one side of the wall and sprinkled on the mottled wooden floor of the corridor. The interlaced light and shadow were constantly changing on Shayek who was slowly moving forward.

The old housekeeper suddenly said again: "You may have seen that this place is very different from when you came a long time ago. People and things are no longer the same as before. The dwarves and small monsters who stayed here also left and scattered. Now only my old bones are left to look at this place. For this reason, they are willing to give me a little salary..."

He turned his head and looked out the window. The silver moonlight seemed to fall in deep eyes, darkness, like two doors. Shayek's voice was a little quiet: "... Now the darkness lurks on this land, and some things are back to the world - as you have seen, death and desolation are returning to this world."

This is not the first time Fang Ling has heard such a description.

But what he saw and heard along the way made him realize all this more deeply - especially the battle not long ago.

But he still didn't quite understand how to make this originally lively place look like this in one year.

"So, Mr. Shayek, what happened here? Did the attack on Charter City just bring such a big change? I have learned about that war from some people, where they resisted the invasion of the dragon beast."

Shayek stopped and replied, "I noticed the movement outside just now, but the dragon beasts you killed are actually just the weaker ones among those things."

That was exactly what Fang Yu was concerned about.

"But how did they come here from Charter City?"

"Since that attack, many things have happened. The dragon's minions grew from the darkness and appeared everywhere in Taren. Not only this place, from Elpahin to Port Gula, you can see this all the way."

"First there were dragon beasts, then the population on the villages and towns disappeared inexplicably, then the whole villages and the entire towns disappeared. But more importantly, something new appeared in the dark-"

The old housekeeper's voice was neither fast nor slow, but it seemed like a tone of voice coincided with it, and it moved secretly in the darkness and spread silently. But if you listen carefully, it was just an echo in the corridor.

Even so, it was enough to make people stand upright. Tianlan couldn't help swallowing and asked, "...what new?"

"...That are shadows, those puppets that are blinded by eternal life and controlled by dragons. Because you have never seen them, my master has only seen similar descriptions in some ancient books, but they are indeed back... to accompany the dragon..."

The moonlight outside the window fell on the swamp, a bright white area, like a layer of ice.

"Is that the Dragon's Claw?" she asked tremblingly.

"A deeper than that, they are silent. Mortals have spent hundreds of years finally winning a war, but they have not eliminated the dark believers, and the true immortals have been walking between you and me."

Shayek paused: "Master asked you to go south, you should have seen something."

Fang Yu couldn't help but think of the wanderer.

But was Tang De's grandfather considered an immortal?

The other party is indeed walking in this world with many identities, and he even suspects that it is the other party's first identity.

It's like no one knows what happened in the Rutgersle family in that frozen world.

"You mean, there is more than one such existence?" Fang Yu suddenly shuddered.

Idus's experience and hearing made him still feel scared when he thinks about it. If Karatu and Donde had not been investigating this matter, the wanderer might have succeeded.

Shayek turned around, his face as pale and gloomy ghost under the moonlight, and pointed to this place: "Do you still remember what I said to you? It was also here at that time."

There are bad omens hidden under the shadows, and only those who are about to die can see the dragon wings in the shadows-

This sentence made Fang Yu stunned for a moment.

He stopped and looked at each other with the others. They defeated the Phantom of Nico Polas in the South, drove away the Wanderers, completed the agreement between Yoshud and Evelil, and completely eliminated the threat of the Dragon Golden Eyes.

He hasn't forgotten that the Dragon's Golden Eyes actually contains the power of the Dragon King Livgard.

It was just that they defeated the Dragon King Livgard, and Nico Polas, transformed by Ms. Misu, still exists in this world.

That's the beginning of everything.

Tianlan couldn't help asking: "Didn't Mazac and Mr. Lucius have set out to find Nico Polas? With Galapeya here, Nico Polas has also lost the power of the Dragon Golden Eyes. They should have a great chance of winning, right?"

But Shayek did not answer, and the long silence made people feel a little depressed.

The depressing atmosphere is like the suffocation of this conversation.

Because they had already walked to the gate at the end of the corridor, behind it was the Dragon Corner Hall, and the missing corner of Nico Polas had once hung there, and now there was only a cloud of darkness left in the hall.

Fang Ling remembered that there were two servants here wearing glossy robes to open the door for passing passengers.

But at this moment, the door was closed and there was no one. Shayek walked to that place, pressed his hand on the door, and pushed open it with difficulty. In the 'creaking' sound that elongated the tone, dust rushed over, causing everyone to cough in a low voice.

The bright and warm hall in my impression, the bright flames in the fireplace, neat tables and chairs, shiny copper tubes, the brisk echoing bells, the nutmeg and grilled cheese in the air all disappeared like an illusion.

Behind the door is a gray world, with tables and chairs piled together, covered with a white cloth, and covered with dust, spider webs - only an open box is placed on a few tables put together.

When he got closer, Fang Zhu saw the depression inside, which was exactly the shape of a sword.

Shayek then stopped.

"...The master and Lucius have indeed set out to the north to find the whereabouts of the dragon witch Nico Polas. They may succeed, but they may fail, after all, we have not experienced that era."

"So many generations before I was born, the concept of the dark dragon was only an abstract symbol in the minds of each generation. It even had the alarmist words that the enemy of the past will return... and that slender horn proved that they once existed..."

"What happens if they succeed?" Tianlan asked, "What happens if they fail?"

“Nothing changed.”

"How is that possible!?"

"...For the shadow of the dragon wing is just a bad omen, and the real threat lies under the shadow of death. Everything you see in this trip is nothing more than their appearance, and more importantly, what is under that appearance."

"What's under the appearance?"

Fang Yu suddenly interrupted the two of them and said, "Those things, including dragon beasts, are they all descendants of Nico Polas?"

Shayek shook his head.

Sky Lan was a little surprised, "But weren't they brought by Nico Polas?"

"Maybe, but not necessarily. Even if it is not Nico Polas, there will be other things - the shadow of the dragon wing is just a bad omen, which is a sign of the return of the former enemy. The former enemy is not necessarily the dark dragon - the black dragon flame, but a symbol of destruction."

"If the enemy of the Swearing Guardian clan was not the Dark Dragon, what would it be?"

"The dark dragon is the fate of the oath guardian clan."

Shayek's eyes fell on Fang Zhu: "But for those who see the shadow of the dragon wings, it may not be like this..."

Fang Yu's heart moved slightly.

Shayek continued: "Lucius does not want outsiders to be involved, that is him, and the grudge between my master and Nico Polas. But my master thinks you will definitely return to this place, so I will wait for you here."

Tianlan looked at the others and asked, "Mr. Mazak, do you have anything to leave for us?"

The old housekeeper's voice was a little hoarse.

"He asked me to tell you that your mission has come to an end."

She was stunned for a moment and opened her mouth slightly.

On the side, Fang Zhu looked not surprised.

Tianlan couldn't help but say, "Conneco Polas, Ms. Misu..."

Shayek interrupted her calmly, "From the moment when he drank the blood of the demon dragon, the fate of the oath guardian clan was destined. We had cut those monsters under the sword, and now they returned from the depths of our bloodlines, but everything started from this, and everything ended from this-"

"The former holders of Galapea, their descendants and descendants, their ancestors have made achievements, and their descendants will also end their long-cherished wishes at this moment."

He looked at everyone with faint gray eyes: "A thousand years after the Giant War, the history of the Oath Guardian clan has ended, and the history of this era has just begun. Leave this place and leave far away..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "You have completed the task entrusted to you by my master, but your journey is far from over."

"From now on, everything here will have nothing to do with you. And you will see this land born from the sea of ​​clouds and end under the sea of ​​fire."

The old butler's deep eyes finally stopped on Fang Yu.

"Young man, do you understand what I mean?"

Fang Zhuge nodded slightly.

"But I did not expect that so many things would happen here during the time we went south."

He looked around and replied in a low voice, saying that Hongye had never told them some things. Of course, maybe even she herself might not know.

Shayek replied slowly, "You must have never heard of these things in the south, because of the news that the Prime Minister of the Kaurin people suppressed. In fact, your people have been involved. Not long ago, a group of young people were investigating the matter, and they were still here for a while."

Just as the two of them asked and answered each other, a page of screen slowly unfolded in front of Fang Yu, and the world event line above had obvious changes.

‘The Dragon Witch’s incident line changes—’

‘The third disaster star incident has more branches listed in the offline directory—’

...

When we returned to the boat, everyone's mood changed slightly.

Fang Zhu turned around and looked at the distance of the forest from the side of the boat. Behind the fog was the light of the wind lamp. It faintly penetrated the shadows of the trees.

The swamp looked endless under the moonlight. On the flat horizon, there was a wetland as bright as a mirror. There were a little sparks in that direction, reflecting the stars in the sky.

This may be the direction for travelers to rest.

"Have the mission been completed?" Luo Hao pulled everyone up from the gangway one by one and asked.

Fang Zhuge nodded slightly.

"Have the stuff been returned?"

"No," Alisa replied, "as a reward, it's handed over to us."

"It means there is no other reward?"

Everyone was slightly stunned, as if this was true, but they forgot to care at that time.

Luo Hao looked at the expressions of everyone, was stunned, shook his head and said, "If there is no, there will be no, in fact, you have a lot of benefits along the way. There are some tasks like this in Aitalia, including the rewards in the process of the mission."

Is that true?

Alisa nodded gently, but seemed a little silent for a moment.

It is difficult for her to tell the difference at this moment. Is this really just a high-dimensional informatization world, or does it really exist?

The owner of the hotel left nothing for them, and even Lynn Lucius left them at least a badge, but the words Shayek told them were enough to answer all their efforts in the past year.

That sentence has always been very simple-

Don't forget the dead enemy.

It is not the dark dragon that makes a comeback, and there is a real ominous sign hidden under the shadow of the dragon's wings.

That is the light of the Star of Disaster.

Mazak asked them to go all the way south to find the past of the Dragon Golden Eye, perhaps not just to help them eliminate the threat of the Dragon King Livgard, because the Giant War is a story of an era that has passed.

They have been buried under the dust of history with the oath keeper. The last grudge between Nico Polas and Galapea wrote the ending chapter of this story.

And then, the beginning of a new era.

Unlike the disaster star faced by the Noumerlin elves, they still have no way of knowing the name of the shining demon star in the sky, but it has truly come to this world and will surely set off a storm.

Fang Zhu looked up at the dark night sky. In the southern sky, stars with six stars were shining with red and weird light.

And they still cannot know what the future Aitalia will face.

As for Tianlan, the little girl was silently looking at the dark distance in the fog, as if she felt an emotion she had never experienced before.

That was the task they had been carrying out since the beginning, and it finally came to an end today. But she felt an empty feeling in her heart, what they had changed, and it seemed that nothing had changed.

She looked at Luo Yu beside her and couldn't help but lean gently on the other person's shoulder.

"Luo Yu, do you think Mr. Mazak and others can defeat Nico Polas?"

Luo Yu lowered his head and looked at the poet lady who was snuggling up to him.

He thought silently for a moment and nodded.

Everything they do may have some effect in the end.

The past of Galappea, a thousand years ago, a hundred years ago, thirty years ago, and today, everything will eventually change from Idos to Dorifin. Perhaps, I hope, in a better direction.

"Where will we go next?" Luo Hao asked in his voice on the other side of the deck.

“Gula Port.”

Fang Ling replied: "Next we go to Gula Port."
