Act 220 Curtain XIII

The earth hummed and resonated, and a long streak of lightning formed some kind of vista in the dark sky.

"...After the war in the fifth era, the gods began to leave our world, and the last one to leave was Martha. This is the Sleep of the Gods - this is the dusk predicted by the gods, and they will bring this world to the end. Passed on to the descendants of the people of the gods, and when the blood of the people of the gods flowing on the earth becomes weaker from generation to generation, one day, the generation of gold and silver will replace them, and after the age of silver, the age of black iron will It’s coming…”

"...The Parliament of Truth, in order to restore the glorious era, the descendants of the people of God found a child with pure blood from the depths of the underground where Gaia's will resides. When this child was spotted by the will of Dusk, Dusk hoped to pass through She came to steal the authority that the ancestors had equal to Martha. She projected part of her will into our world and merged with the child's soul..."

"...When it came, it was discovered by that will, and our plan began to take shape from that era. The child survived and was passed on from generation to generation until something happened to my parents. My father made an agreement with the four sages Everything happened a thousand years later, but the existence of that child was concealed until a thousand years later, your grandfather found her again on the final battlefield..."

"...You already know everything that happened after that. When the Dragon Queen's plan failed, the will of the Dusk Dragon awakened in our world. With the blood of the ancestors, it seized the authority of our world..."

"...It found the resting place of the gods and brought them back from the void, but what it brought back was no longer the great will that cares for us and protects us, but the surrendered bodies. Due to the will of Chaos, puppets and empty shells controlled by the Dragon of Twilight, just yesterday, the star of Owenroth was extinguished forever. Replaced by the rising constellation of Dragon God Bahamut, above Ten thousand years later, it shines again in the sky of Warnd."

"The gods are back, but what they bring is not glory and hope, but cold and lifeless despair." Madara put down her handkerchief. He replied with a cold expression, his white handkerchief covered in blood stains.

"This is blasphemy!" Andrea couldn't help shouting with grief and anger. Although she raised this possibility to Brando, when she really heard the truth, as a member of the Earth Legion, the gods and gods The most devout warrior of the people, the girl couldn't help but lose control of her emotions.

In fact, Mr. Liu and others on the side were also a little in disbelief. They knew even less about the inside story of Dusk Arrival, although they had gradually learned some things along the way. But after all, it is not so straightforward and shocking.

Everyone seemed a little silent. Huang Huo took two steps, stopped again, and looked at his teacher with a worried expression.

"What happened to the dragons...?"

For some reason, what appeared in front of Brando's eyes was the figure of Aloz, the willful little female dragon, who seemed to still have golden curly hair when Ampelsel parted with him. Sparkling, eyes full of cunning light.

But after a while. What appeared in his thoughts was another quieter girl with long snow-white hair and half-drop-shaped earrings, frowning and glaring at him.

"Humans, especially shameless——"

Brando suddenly felt a little empty in his heart, and he was silent for a moment. Let out a long sigh.

"The giant dragons have no future," Queen Madara replied: "They may still be able to survive, but without the protection of the Dragon God, their blood will soon become thinner, and new dragons will no longer be born. .Perhaps in a thousand years, mortals will see the last dragon in this world closing its eyes. Of course, if we can wait until that day..."

"So after all, what are your countermeasures?"

"Yes, in my opinion, we still have two ways to go -" Queen Madara looked at him, a deep light flashed deep in her purple eyes: "One way,

It is to restart the world, just like what the gods have done in the past few eras. Although the Dragon of Twilight has seized power, we also have a new Martha. The Dragon of Twilight was sealed by the Holy One, and the only remaining Among the three supreme authorities, as long as you and Isis nod, we will start to pull it again, but it is foreseeable that in the next era, our power will be even weaker, not to mention that Isis’s power will be unavailable. It can be checked and balanced, and mortals may be enslaved by it, but civilization can at least continue to be passed on. "

"Esis came to see me," Brando replied: "She told me this, but I will not agree with it. I will not agree with this path."

"Then there is only one other way. In the prophecy, a great monarch comes to our world. He will open the treasure house of Martha and guide his people. The will of the gods crowns him on the top of the clouds. , at that moment, the whole Warend will sing for him, defeating the dusk, and our world will usher in an extremely bright future."

Brando looked at Queen Madala, and their eyes met in mid-air. The owner of the mercury staff had a firm and unshakable will, while Brando's eyes were equally calm and calm, as if thousands of time were flowing through his eyes. , he saw history, present and future at the same time at this moment, but there was only one answer.

He had already decided on that answer.

"If it were you, Your Majesty, what choice would you make? Just like your father?"

"No, the world now depends on your choice, Mr. Count."

Brando sighed and shook his head.

"That's how you decided?"

"I have already decided, haven't I, Your Majesty? At this moment, many people in this world are also making their own decisions. These decisions may not matter to Warnd, but in the end, they will change history. process."

Queen Madara thought of Brando's previous words at this moment, but she was obviously not satisfied with that answer.

What Warnd needs is a king, not a brave warrior.

"Don't talk nonsense," she thought of her father: "I know your determination and will, but your death will not help this world. What we need is not faith and ideals, but the power to resist the dusk."

"But if we don't have faith and ideals, and the civilized world doesn't have order and compassion for the weak, even if we defeat the dusk, what's the difference between our world and chaos?"

"Don't change the subject, Your Excellency, the problem now is that we have no way to defeat Dusk!"

The queen's tone began to contain anger.

"Your Majesty," Brando's tone was very gentle: "If I were the supreme monarch in your mouth, just like the father in your memory, maybe one day the world would defeat the dusk under my rule, but next time In an era, it will face the same dilemma as us. Do people in every era have to place their hope in a savior to save them?"

"Is this the so-called era of mortals?"

"Your Majesty," Brando sighed: "Don't forget, order is immortal and dusk never dies - a thousand years ago, your father used his death to prove this cycle, and the country founded by four sages, So what happens now? The title of Fool is a heavy honorific, because it tells us that we need more than just the sages who ushered in an era."

He shook his head: "I think we made many mistakes in the past era, and in the future I see, what people need is no longer the sages and nobles, nor the gods and gods - in In such an era, the gods no longer exist, the heroes have passed away, and mortals will move forward on their own, carving out a difficult path among thorns and darkness. Perhaps that era will be very humble, and order will be like a weak candlelight in the long night. , but at least the road ahead is no longer dusk, but dawn, and hope will last forever—"

"Sounds wonderful, but what about the Dragon of Dusk?"

Brando was silent for a moment, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to see everything he had seen in the elemental realm.

He saw Miss Tata and the Holy Saints looking at him with expectation, he saw Lord Saint Osor nodding gently to him, and he even saw that majestic figure like a mountain - his grandfather, the Earth Sword Master Darus—the old man said nothing, only turned around silently, bent down to pick up his sword from the ground, leaving him with a silent back.

There was something in his eyes that was not there before, as if after getting the answer, all that was left was the determination to move forward.

"I promise you," Brando said word by word to Her Majesty Queen Madala and everyone present: "Everything I see will definitely come true."

Queen Madara subconsciously wanted to retort.

But when she saw Brando's expression, her words lost their power and turned pale, and she shut her mouth silently.

"I promise you, Sophia."

"everything will get better--"

In the darkness, two tall figures turned around and walked resolutely out of the hall. There, the Miner guards stood still, and among the army, Trishman and Tumen were waiting.

"I believe you, teacher."

A somewhat green voice replied.

Huanghuo walked to Brando, holding a sword in her hand, and answered without any doubt.

"I believe you too, sir." Andrea whispered behind Brando: "I have seen the darkest times. The battle seemed to never end. We won again and again, but the hope became increasingly slim. , and finally, you are back, I believe you must be the one who comes to give us hope."

Neither Mr. Liu nor Philip spoke. One of them did not understand the words, and the other seemed to be indifferent to all this. Delphine frowned uncharacteristically and remained silent, as if thinking about something.

Only Fang Qi looked a little elated, and he didn't know what he was excited about.
