No one knew what the mad king was thinking. After all, William III had been hiding in Alfred Palace since he issued the decree and had never shown up.

And all those who cannot pay the heavy money have only one way out: leave Aslan Castle.

"Please board the ship in an orderly manner! The gift from His Majesty the King is your greatest luck! If you have the heart to rebel again, look at the guy over there!"

The gendarme pointed to a bird cage hanging high by the port, where several strong men were imprisoned. They were half-naked, with their limbs sticking out of the iron cages swaying in the sea breeze, and they looked unconscious.

No one dared to resist anymore. They would spend more than ten days on the crowded cargo ship, and then live a life worse than that of primitive people on the affiliated islands of the main island of I-Tlan.

"..."

Among the crowd boarding the ship, a little girl raised her head in her mother's arms and looked at the sky ignorantly.

When she saw the person hanging in the birdcage, she pulled at her mother's clothes:

"Mom, why do they keep people in bird cages?"

The mother did not answer. She hurriedly maintained her pace so as not to fall in the crowd boarding the boat.

People are insignificant.

"..."

At this moment, in the [Church] next to Alfred Palace, William III pushed open the door and looked directly at the girl in the center of the hall.

When he saw the holy light projected above the girl's head, he laughed:

"[Sanctuary]! Can you feel it? War is coming! And we will win!"

[Holy Hall] did not speak. She lowered her head in silence, her body entangled by countless cables, like a puppet.

William III suddenly seemed tired of all this. He waved his hand, and two [Steam Police] came in and stood on both sides of him:

"Tear her down, put her in a coffin, and throw her into the sea."

The two [Steam Gendarmes] looked at each other awkwardly. They did not move, but just stared at their king helplessly.

Since its establishment, the Steam Gendarmerie has been a subsidiary of the Temple, but the king asked them to throw their gods into the sea.

"What? You also want to be sent to the cargo ship and become refugees on the island?!" William III shouted, "Do as I say!"

The two [Steam Gendarmes] copied it, the silent [Temple] and the furious king, they knew whose orders to obey.

The two men walked to the side of the Holy Temple, removed the cables around her body, picked up the girl's frail body, and staggered towards the door.

William III looked at the empty hall. After a while, he opened his arms and laughed:

“Hahahaha, let’s transform this place into a new banquet hall! Soon, the glory of the E-Tran Kingdom will cover this land again!”

The rain in I-Tran will never stop.

......

“Ah…”

When Perlis awoke from her historical memories, she found herself lying on the floor of a cave.

The girl slowly got up, looked around, and was surprised to find that she knew this place—

——This is the spring under the town of Ankamouth.

How did I get here...?

Perlis looked towards the center of the dark lake, and soon she saw a black figure rising and falling. It was a girl with long black hair, who was floating peacefully on the water with her eyes closed.

That's Ibuki Rin.

"you're awake."

The voice came from behind Perlis. She turned around and found Yi Qian standing beside her, looking at the girl in the water with her.

"Yi Qian..." Perlis murmured, "Did you pull me here?"

"I don't want you to die of the heat," Yi Qian said expressionlessly, "and I want to hear what you have to share."

"Share what?"

"Everything you see in the gaps of history."

Perlis was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that Yi Qian knew everything she had experienced, including that forgotten history.

After hesitating for a moment, she told him everything about Edward and Harilalli, and described the power of the Black Tide Knight.

"That guy, he's very powerful." said Perlis.

"Those are the Royal Guards of the Lord of the Black Tide," Yi Qian said, "Any one of them possesses such power, and the size of its Royal Guards has now reached hundreds of people."

"Hundreds of people...?" Perlis felt a little dazed.

"Yes," Yi Qian nodded, "but in the era when Hafurgard descended, there were only three guards. They were the best among the high-level constructs, and any one of them had the power to rival Hafurgard."

"But now, there are already hundreds of them..." Perlis murmured.

Yi Qian nodded, she looked at her sister floating in the black lake, and continued:

"Human civilization cannot defend against it. You are the only hope to destroy it."

"What should we do?" asked Perlis.

"【Shattered Star】, promoted to 【Star Seed】."

9) Small and Ordinary (Part 2)

As expected... [Star Crusher] is a weapon that can hurt [Lord of the Black Tide], after all, he told me so himself...

After getting confirmation from Yi Qian, Perlis breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this proved that she was currently heading in the right direction.

Obtain the [Engraving Ink] from the laboratory, reshape the [Shattered Star], and fight against the [Lord of the Black Tide].

With Perlis obtaining the second key from Pace, the first step in the trilogy of this ultimate goal will soon be achieved.

But...why do I need to be promoted to [Star Seed]?

As if seeing Perlis's confusion, Yi Qian said:

"If you weren't at the Star Seed level, you wouldn't even be able to get close to the Lord of the Black Tide."

"Why?" Perlis frowned.

To be promoted to a [Star Seed] means the loss of one's true self and the destruction of one's personality. In simple terms, it means death.

Perlis is willing to fight for everyone behind her, but if possible, she doesn't want to die.

If you die, you will have many regrets...Perlis thought of those ice-blue eyes.

"..."

Yi Qian did not answer Perlis's question, but whispered a string of ancient divine words, allowing Perlis to receive images in her mind.

Then, Perlis saw Qi Lang's fighter plane being destroyed by the Lord of the Black Tide in some strange way at high altitude.

"Because the Lord of Black Tide can fold space," Yi Qian said, "You only have one chance to fight him."

Folding space... It sounds like a terrifying power, hundreds or thousands of meters high, it can be easily crossed...

Wait, could this be the reason why the Black Tide Knight in historical memories was able to pass through the coalition’s radar blockade and land on Edward’s head?

The ability to fold space means marching speed and attack range.

"If there's no way to even get close..." Perlis murmured.

Yes, even with [Star Crusher], the prerequisite for defeating that guy is to be able to get close.

But this doesn't mean there is no way... As long as [Shattered Star] touches the armor of [Lord of the Black Tide]... You can use long-range means...

The sword can also be thrown, but the way of throwing it needs to be more modern.

For example...what about launching a missile at it?

No... Even if it is launched with a missile, there will always be a track. As long as something has a track, the [Lord of the Black Tide] may destroy it in advance by folding space.

Unless the broken stars are accelerated to a speed that the [Lord of the Black Tide] cannot react to, or at least has difficulty reacting to...

At least now we have a direction to think about.

"Use long-range attacks," Perlis said, "but we need speed, and it would be best if we could find the blind spot of the Lord of the Black Tide."

Hearing what Perlis said, Yi Qian nodded with great satisfaction, and a rare smile appeared on her face:

"You are as smart as General Yan Chu. He also understood my meaning without any instructions."

"Same as General Yan Chu?"

Perlis frowned. Although Yi Qian's words seemed to be spoken casually, they obviously had a strong guiding purpose.

If you think about Qi Lang...

The scene of the [Star Covenant] meeting appeared in front of Perlis's eyes. At that time, Qi Lang made a request to Hafurgard... [Sky Eye]...

"...!"

Perlis' eyes lit up, and once she had the right idea, she quickly thought of it -

——The space-based strike module of [Sky Eye].

"Use space-based weapons?" Perlis took a deep breath.

That’s right, no matter how terrifying the space folding ability of the [Lord of the Black Tide] is, he will never be able to affect satellites far away in low-Earth orbit!

"Very correct," Yi Qian's smile became more obvious, "You are very smart. This is why Yan Chu asked the Hafurgaard tribe to help build the space-based strike module of the [Sky Eye]."

"But in the end...it seems that it was not built?" Perlis recalled Carly's words.

"It was not built. The construction of space-based weapons was too difficult. Even though Hafurgaard used the upper realm subspace to build a temporary passage for the Qilang people to travel to orbit, the project ultimately failed due to the loss of territory outside the Great Wall."

Oh... That's too bad. It feels like the clue was lost just when I found it.

Perlis felt a little frustrated. If Hafgard hadn't built the space-based module of the Sky Eye, no one would have been able to build it...

After all, it was a project that only the Hafurgard could accomplish.

Wait a minute...I think I'm also Hafgard?

Perlis' eyes lit up again: Isn't there still hope?

When I got back I asked the people in Qilang to tell me where to repair it and then I fixed it for them.

After it is repaired, you can use space-based weapons to launch [Star Crusher] to severely damage [Lord of the Black Tide].

"I can fix it." Perlis nodded.

"It's obvious, after all, you are a member of the Hafurgaard tribe." Yi Qian said.

"Well..."

Pearlis rubbed her head and suddenly felt that she was really stupid.

It’s not that stupid, at least I can deduce it.

Deduction, this process requires a lot of brain cells!

However, there is an obvious loophole in this series of deductions: Why can't the [Lord of the Black Tide] resist the [Star Crusher] launched by space-based weapons?

You know, even if it is shot down from the sky, it is ultimately a ballistic weapon, so there will be a distance from far to near.

"But why?" Perlis asked.

Yi Qian obviously knew what Perlis was going to ask. She recalled the General Yan Chu who was always asking questions and a faint smile appeared on her face again.

Then she replied softly:

"Because Coles Halfgard will never look up at the stars again."

......

Operations Center - Mist City

Su Yao, whose condition had stabilized, was finally discharged from the hospital. At this moment, four days had passed since the last exploration of the [Black Dead Zone].

During the four-day gap, the reconnaissance team conducted a second full-scale scan of the entire dead zone, using the signature code of the first key as the target to search, trying to find the location of the next key.

But they failed, and the entire reconnaissance operation could be said to have yielded nothing.

There is no trace of the key in the entire [Black Dead Zone]. People at the Mist Center even think that the next key may not be in the dead zone at all.

However, good news also came - Perlis Hafrigard got the second key from the allies on the continent of Admir. When she comes back, the decoding progress will be accelerated several times.
