The star falls in 835, March 17, the imperial capital Sanshan Holy City, in the evening, light snow.

The new year comes, and passes by the flying white snow again. The streets of the imperial capital are silent. Apart from a few people who clean up the snow in front of the door, there are only the jingle of patrolling guards' armor colliding.

But unlike this quiet environment, in the first year when the dragon disaster ended and the sign of star fall first appeared, the whole world fell into a craze about "exploration".

Although ordinary civilians may not know it, all the high-ranking or powerful professionals can learn from the ruins located around the world and the classics hidden in the deepest part of the library that the entire Mycrov world is actually a civilization reborn from the wreckage after a doomsday. After the end of the era called "Glory", countless relics walked out of the shelter, staring blankly at this world that had already changed shape, and then fighting the endless wave of monsters and demons.

835 years have passed, and the ancestors who once fought for a piece of land for their tribesmen in the wilderness can be relieved to see that today's human beings once again occupy the majority of the world. Except for the vastness of the central black forest in which no one has explored, most of the land in this world is owned by humans, and other races are either incorporated into humans, or migrated to distant overseas, struggling in isolated islands or deep mountains.

When a mage was developed in Guantian Baita, he proudly declared that they had already known everything about the Mycrov continent. What humans need now is to explore the new world outside the void. This arrogant but passionate declaration was indeed approved by many people at that time, but now, the situation is very different from that time.

The underground world discovered in the Principality of Roman, the hiding places of the Five Colored Dragons overseas, and the ancient large-scale urban ruins found around the eastern plains. These novel discoveries all prove that the world is shrouded in many fogs. Not to mention anything else, the deep sea where fishmen live, and the underground cavity that even the dwarves have not explored are vast unknown areas.

The cross-world teleportation array actually has many shortcomings. It was hit by reality. The ambitious mages finally lowered their heads and had to admit this. Under this craze, many small countries have begun to conduct large-scale expansion and expansion movements towards the black forests and mountains around them. They have obtained a lot of resources because of the discovery of the underground world. The Roman Principality, which is now rapidly expanding and developing, is their example of trying to imitate. Other major forces are currently watching calmly, but privately sent many teams to explore. The Radcliff family was allowed to expand their territory towards the Great Aas Mountains. This is part of this temptation.

On the Central Commercial Avenue leading to the Morley Palace, a team of soldiers wearing black and blue light armor quickly walked through the downtown area. The well-made armor made no noise except the clanging sound caused by the foot armor hitting the ground. Many citizens and vendors focused their eyes on these soldiers, and then shrugged, lowered their heads, and stopped paying attention.

That was the queen's personal soldier.

In recent days, not only the queen, but many nobles living in the imperial capital often send their confidants back and forth to go back and forth, as if they were inquiring about some information. Logically speaking, this behavior would be fine if it was in their own territory, but it would be too far beyond the scope of the imperial capital. This is the city where His Majesty the Emperor lives. Even the queen must not let his personal guards come and go.

But for some reason, the emperor, who has always been majestic, said nothing. No, it is better to say that he has no reaction than nothing. This is particularly confusing to the people. However, the above will cover up the news, and there are naturally ways to inquire below. Those who have relatives and friends who work in Morley Palace have received some obscure news intermittently. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, one thing can be confirmed - since His Majesty the Emperor presided over the celebration in the New Year, no one has seen him in Morley Palace again.

——This is really amazing!

Anyone who heard the news exclaimed without exception. They all understood the seriousness of this matter and did not doubt the authenticity of the news.

You should know that the royal family of the Northern Empire is different from the kings of the traditional kingdoms of the West Mountain. Morley Palace is not a private residence for the royal family. It also has a royal court, an imperial library and various public facilities. As long as you are authorized, even ordinary citizens can enter. It is like the Imperial Library. It is open to the outside world for one or two days every year, and you can go in and read freely as long as you pay.

In addition, His Majesty the Emperor never lived in the deep palace. He often went to the streets alone to inspect and occasionally tasted folk snacks - this is almost the practice of the emperors of the Northern Empire. Almost all well-known restaurants in the imperial capital have slogans that a certain generation of emperors had eaten here. They never deliberately avoided the crowd, but wandered around according to their preferences.

If it is normal for ordinary people to not see the emperor for several months, but even the attendants in the palace cannot see the emperor in the Morley Palace for several months, it only means that if His Majesty was either seriously injured, he could only be ill in the deep palace, or His Majesty had not returned for a long time.

Everyone tends to be the latter one.

Perhaps it is precisely because His Majesty the Emperor has not returned for several months that the queen and the nobles can't help but start to inquire about the news? The mysterious disappearance of the lord of a country is really a result of being able to hide it for three months. It's really thanks to the fact that it's winter now, but now it's really impossible to suppress the fire.

In the Morley Palace, the Delphi Palace where the queen lived, wearing black and blue light armor, the guards covering their faces quickly walked into it along the avenue. Most of them stayed in front of the palace gate, and only one of the leaders passed the guard's inspection and entered the palace.

The palace was quiet and deserted, with only a few maids cleaning the dust. This was because the Emperor and Queen of this generation of Delmond royal family did not like being served by many servants. The guards often came here to see each other frequently, so a maid temporarily put down her work and silencedly led him to an open-air garden inside the palace. In the garden, a slender woman was enjoying the flowers by several noble ladies.

Although it is winter now, the interior of the palace is as warm as spring due to the magic array. There are even formations for adjusting humidity and light around this open-air garden, which can make any flower open at any time.

The magic circle consumes a lot. Because it involves the natural techniques of elves to promote plant growth, dozens of magic crystals are consumed every day. Each magic crystal can allow civilians in the imperial capital to live safely for several months. This sounds very luxurious, but for the queen who has no other hobbies besides enjoying flowers and the most noble woman in the empire, it is nothing, and she can even afford the word simplicity.

The maid asked the guards to stay at the entrance of the garden, and she carefully went forward to pay a visit. The slender woman in the center of the garden also found the guards with round mouths, so she dispersed the ladies around her and asked the maid to go back to notify them.

This tall leader was different from his subordinates. The armor on his body was not blue-black, but pure black. After receiving the notice from the maid, the black-armored warrior quickly came to the woman under the guidance of the other party. He respectfully knelt down on one knee and bowed his head and said, "Queen Edna..."

"Stop talking nonsense, Gunnis, tell me what you found."

The beautiful woman named Edna lowered her head slightly, sighed tiredly, and asked the maid to sort out her silver tray that had been loose. Her eyes were rare light gold, and her pupils were slightly different from ordinary humans, but they were very similar to the golden dragon in the metal dragon, which means that the queen's ancestors may have dragon blood, or just a golden dragon.

Hearing the urgency in his Lord's words, the black-armored warrior named Gnis immediately replied: "His Majesty the Emperor had secretly inspected the southern fortress group with Master Nostradamus three months ago. He met the Governor Ceres who guarded the southern provinces. Then he went to three 'Starfall Lands' in the south. The next time he appeared, it was already a month ago. On the east side of the silent land, a team of merchants had seen his back from afar."

Speaking of this, the warrior's tone was a little undetectable: "I think this should be something that His Majesty the Emperor had specially allowed them to see, otherwise how could he detect His Majesty's whereabouts just by those ordinary merchants?"

"Southern Fortress, silently...what does His Majesty go there..."

After hearing these news, the queen in a light long skirt frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, she continued to order: "Continue."

Gnis continued: "The whereabouts of Your Majesty will be extremely strange. He is still on the western border. The next day, he has arrived in the depths of the Black Forest in the eastern wilderness. We have integrated a lot of information. It can only be said that Master Nostradamus's time and space magic has improved again, and can conduct short-term continental teleportation, otherwise it will not be explained why His Majesty's position can change so quickly... But in the past month, His Majesty and the Master have completely disappeared, and no one has seen them again."

"Telebrating around the entire empire, they must be looking for something... The Starfall Land, is Isreir interested in those things that descended from the boundless heaven?"

Edna turned her head and looked at the flowers beside her. She said to herself with a puzzled expression: "It's obvious that all of them are legendary. Those things from the previous era cannot be his help at all--no, and I can't say that. If the reason for his sudden recovery is that!" The words suddenly stopped, and the queen turned to look at the black-armored warrior who was still kneeling respectfully on the ground: "Genes, guess where should His Majesty and Master Nostradamus be now? Can we find the entire empire without finding it?"

The queen's tone was gentle, as if she was just a simple question, but Gnis knew that if she couldn't answer, she would definitely be punished. However, the Black Armored Warrior was already confident. He immediately reported: "I guess that Your Majesty and the Master should be in the Void Star Gazing Site now! So the Queen, you and the nobles' every move in March after he left should be in the eyes of Your Majesty!"

"Is that true?"

This answer did not surprise Edna. She raised her head slightly and looked up at the sky. The queen curled her lips and made a helpless expression: "When will he do this... She is obviously just a warrior who can't do anything but fight and is not romantic at all."

And while the lady complained, the maid and the black-armored warrior were both motionless as if they were deaf. Then Edna said a little boredly: "Forget it, I don't have time to do anything anyway-Genes, cancel the action. His Majesty the Emperor doesn't mind the court struggles of us women, which doesn't mean we really do it."

"Yes!" The black-armored warrior responded immediately, and then he was led out of the garden by his maid, while Queen Edna stood quietly in the garden alone, not knowing what she was thinking.

"The situation has changed. My dear, although I don't know when you have cured your secret wounds and when you have taken a step further, I know that your mind has not changed. You still don't want to be bound to this throne and want to go to a higher and farther place."

He picked a flower casually, and it seemed to be slender and weak, but a bright golden light suddenly ignited from the hand of an ordinary person. Under the illumination of this golden light, the originally delicate violet flowers suddenly began to wriggle violently. Soon, the flower became a small tree man. Queen Edna bent down and placed the tree man with a small flower on her head on the ground. Then patted its head and said to herself: "But before leaving, you still support the second prince Dimore, who looks the most like you... Now is not the era of war. The empire does not need a strong man who looks so much like you, so cruel, and such a strong man who grows up and can continue to suppress all nobles for a hundred years to be the emperor."

I don't need someone who is not my son to be the emperor either.

The queen's face was not a trace of worry. She was the wife she took when Isrell fought all over the world and attacked the orcs. This seemingly weak woman was calmer than most men, and she was also smarter than most women.

But at this time, facing the general trend of being a legendary powerhouse, even if she had all plans, it would be meaningless. If Isrell had only a few years of life as before, then Edna could naturally wait until her dear Majesty passed away, but now it is not possible.

Thinking of this, she was silent for a long time. In the past two years, the situation of the empire has changed far beyond her imagination. Unlike Isrell, who can travel at will, Edna, as the queen, can only stay in the palace, at most, walk around the imperial capital, so there is a lot of information that can only be waited for others to report. After knowing it, it is too late to react. For example, the Count of the Northland achieved a legend. She had not heard any news before. After the news was announced, it would be too late to get along with her.

However, I heard that he is preparing to accept disciples recently?

Suddenly thinking of this, the queen smiled slightly. She seemed to have thought of a good idea, so she whispered to the tree man under her: "Where to the Seventh Prince?"

"Tell him there is an unprecedented opportunity."
