After Trist was executed by the Purification Punishment, Owen and his party stayed in the Holy City for a few more days before setting off for the Dawnlight Kingdom.The route back is different from the route from the past, everyone will travel in a northeast direction, and after coming to the Pilgrimage River, continue to follow the river eastward, and then you can leave the Path Plateau and arrive at the border town of Hanlu in the western border of the Dawn Kingdom.From there, Owen can take a boat and return to the city of Junhui, the capital of the pilgrimage river.Time passed, in the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and it was now the summer of the following year.A lot of things happened during this period, and I would like to briefly explain them from far to near.After returning to the Dawnlight Kingdom, Owen immediately used a wireless phone to notify the Lionroar City Hall and announce the death of the second princess, Trister Wells.As soon as word spread, the new king, who had reigned for only one year, gained a great deal of popularity among the people of the South.Because Owen promised the people of the south that he would severely punish the second princess who abandoned her people and ran away without permission, he really did it and kept his promise.With such a sincere king, how can the people not support him?
Last summer, the two joint investigation teams carried out a third joint investigation as planned, and nothing was found, and the undead disappeared without a trace.Upon receipt of the report, the KPA could only continue to strengthen its preparedness for the Great Makh Desert in the north.Last fall, the Holy Church of Caleb invited the nations to convene a meeting in the Holy City, at which Owen warned the rulers of the countries that the Immortal King Kaztu was most likely preparing to wage another great war, which would be the beginning of the Third Holy War.Eventually, in the presence of the Pope, the rulers of the countries signed an emergency mutual aid agreement.If the undead army really invades the south, the countries will send troops to help the Dawnlight Kingdom.Last winter, an extremely momentous event occurred, and the elderly pope passed peacefully in his own bed.Owen was shocked to learn of this, and when the meeting of heads of state was held in the fall, his body still looked very strong.It's only been a few months, and the Pope is gone, and it all came so suddenly that it was unexpected.In the spring of this year, the Holy Church of Caleb held a grand funeral for Raev XXIII, and all countries sent emissaries to mourn.After the funeral, the appointment and dismissal of the twenty-fourth pope was immediately followed.Saint Freya Ludis was elected by the Church to become Raev XXIV, the country's first female pope, to receive the worship of the people and the congratulations of emissaries from all over the world.After Freya became the Pope, she inherited the ideas of the previous Pope and insisted on implementing the policy of friendship with the Kingdom of Morninglight.This reassured Owen a lot, and he continued to cooperate with the Holy Church of Caleb.The view came to the Far North Ice Sheet, located at the northern tip of the continent.It's the height of summer, but the Far North Ice Sheet is full of winds and snow, and the cold wind is only a cold winter.In the depths of the Far North Ice Sheet, there is a mountain of bones with a height of more than a kilometer, which looks very terrifying, it is made of countless bones piled up.This mountain of bones looks terrifying on the outside, but it is also unique on the inside, and it is actually a large space that can be inhabited.The interior is decorated with bones, and the terrifying atmosphere can be said to be created to the extreme.In the center of this space, there is a throne made of hundreds of heads, on which sits a skeletal immortal dressed in ornate costumes and wearing a crown on his head.He is none other than the Luminical cult and the undead king of the Dawnlight Kingdom, the Kaztu.At this moment, Kaztu was in a deep sleep, sitting in his seat with one hand supporting his head, his eyes were pitch black, and it did not mean that the pupils of wisdom were beating.In this state, he rarely had a dream consisting of several fragments.It was something that happened a long time ago, when the Katztus were still human.Fragment 1 - Kingdom of Mark, Royal Palace Castle.Kaztu was a good-looking prince who was excellent in every way, much to the jealousy of the other princes.One day, the old king summoned the four princes who had the right to inherit the throne to the audience hall and announced a decision in the presence of several important ministers."
You are all excellent sons of mine, and to tell you the truth, whoever is the next king is very suitable.In order to avoid the tragedy of the struggle for the throne, I hereby officially announce that I will send each of you to take over a small town, and in five years, whoever can govern the small town well will be the heir to the throne!"
”In response, the four princes, including Kaztu, knelt down at the same time and said in unison, "Yes, Father." ”Clip 2 - Late at night, in a mansion in a small town, Kaztu is sleeping in his room.Suddenly, a dark shadow outside, easily avoiding all the guards, sneaked in through the window, quietly came to the bedside, and looked at the sleeping Kaztu, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise into an evil smile.At this time, it can be clearly seen that this infiltrator actually has a pair of fangs, and his identity is undoubtedly a vampire.Pulling back the covers, the vampire opened its jaws and without hesitation bit down on Kaztu's neck, injecting his own special blood."
Ahhh!!
hThe bitten Katztu woke up on the spot and screamed.Eventually, the infiltrators escaped, and Kaztu survived the painful transformation and became vampires.However, at that time, the church was still in power by old-school people, and the identity of the vampire must not be revealed, so he had to hide the matter and give a gag order to the guards who knew about it.Fragment 3 - A mob of mobs with all sorts of strange weapons rushed into the mansion where the Katztus lived, and the little guards and knights he brought with him from the royal capital could not stop them.In response, the Kaztu had to come forward to reassure: "My people, stop, why do you do such a thing?
”"Damn vampires, where the hell did you get my wife and daughter?
Have they already been murdered?
”"And my son, he's only five years old!"
At the sight of the Kaztu, the mob made accusations.In the face of these inexplicable accusations, the Kaztu finally realized that he had been framed.After becoming a vampire, he has been careful to hide his identity, only secretly drinking animal blood, never sucking human blood, and naturally it is impossible to catch the residents of the town.At this time, one of the traitorous subordinates of the Kaztu deliberately shouted: "Oops!
Well, there were so many corpses in that room!
”The mob quickly rushed inside, only to find the recently missing townspeople lying lying inside, all dead, with vampire bite marks."
No!"
Katztu immediately panicked, "You all listen to me, I was framed, and I didn't kill those people, please believe me!"
I promise that I will catch the real murderer and give you a satisfactory explanation. ”During his time in charge of the town, Kaztuk has been working diligently to keep the place in order, and the living standards of the local residents have improved significantly.With so much to do for this town, Katztu felt that there should still be someone who trusted him.Unfortunately, no one believed him at all.
