Please be my partner.

The road leading to Fanhua Town is blocked by multiple departments including the Special Affairs Bureau. There are many extraordinary professionals and extraordinary items with mysterious functions. Normally, even if a third-level strongman wants to break through, it is not an easy task.

but……

When the time reached 10:50, Mellen opened his eyes.

Ten minutes is the time it takes for Melen to reach Fanhua Town from his current location.

Without hesitation, he moved forward quickly along the route marked on the note.

Mellen was like a swimming fish, flashing through the dense defense line without alarming anyone.

He had noticed the two worlds divided by the shadow from a long distance away. As he approached, feelings of oppression and familiarity emerged in his mind at the same time. Indistinctly, the answer was about to emerge.

Melen exhaled and stepped into the Flower Town.

The shadows seemed to draw a curtain, welcoming his entry. The swaying figures stopped and bowed to greet him. The dark shadows surrounded him, forming a cluster.

Mellen walked towards the center of Fanhua Town step by step.

When he reached the small central square, a figure bowed slightly and greeted him, "Master Mellen, the master has been waiting for a long time."

Mellen paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "Butler Santos, lead the way."

Santos bowed slightly again and led Mellen into the town hall.

The place was empty, with only a table and two chairs, and sitting on one of the chairs was Sir Wright.

When Mellen saw Sir Light, the latter seemed to be almost gone, like an empty shell.

With Mellen's arrival, Sir Light's aura rose slightly, and his expression became more lively.

Sir Wright slowly opened his eyes, smiled, pointed to the chair opposite him and said lightly: "Sit down."

Mellen sat down as he was told. Butler Santos poured a cup of tea for each of them and then stood respectfully behind Sir Wright.

Mellen held the tea in his hands, sighed, and asked, "Uncle Wright, what is going on?"

Sir Light took a leisurely sip of tea and said with a smile, "It's actually quite simple. It's just a story about a group of guys who gained great power through adventure. Dissatisfied with the status quo, they acted recklessly, wanting to make the world run according to their own ideas."

Mellen was silent. Although Sir Light's words were a bit obscure, he roughly understood. Their goal was to overthrow the Kingdom of Crow?!

He was feeling a bit complicated at this moment, and at the same time he also understood the source of the current series of turmoil in the Kingdom of Kro.

He had nothing to say about this. For him, who lived in the era of information explosion in his previous life, there was no good or evil in the means, it was just a matter of different standpoints.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Mellen's mind, so he asked curiously: "Then, what role did my parents play in these events?"

"They..." Sir Light's eyes flashed with reminiscence, and he said, "Your father is the leader of our small adventure group, and your mother is a witch from the School of Prophecy. This plan was formulated through the joint efforts of all of us. It's a pity..."

Sir Light's eyes dimmed, and he sighed, "They have left this world!"

Mellen felt a pain in his heart. Although he was prepared for this result, he was still a little overwhelmed when he suddenly heard the news.

He didn't expect that he would become a member of a certain orphanage so casually.

Life is really unpredictable.

Just as Mellen was about to inquire about the cause of his parents' death and where they were buried, he heard Sir Light continue, "They actually left this world and ventured into other worlds. How enviable!"

Mellen: ???

Looking at the twisted expression on Mellen's face, a mixture of sadness, astonishment, and convulsions, Sir Light laughed and said, "No wonder that guy loved to trick people so much back then. It really feels good."

Mellen:!!!

Sir Wright smiled and waved his hand. "I know what you want to ask. It's about where your parents are and why they didn't come to see you. To be honest, although I have some guesses, I'm not sure about the specific reasons. Those guesses are based on certain reasons that I can't explain clearly. I can only say that they went to do something very important."

"That guy asked me to leave you a message. When you reach legendary strength, you can go to the Demon Cave on Golden Island. There, you will learn all the truth."

"The whole... truth?!"

Mellen repeated this sentence. Although he didn't know what the so-called "truth" was, he instinctively felt a sense of heaviness and solemnity in his heart, as if this matter was extremely important to him!

After memorizing the words 'Golden Island Demon Cave', Mellen asked, "Uncle Wright, what is a legend?"

Sir Light took a sip of tea and said, "For professionals, levels one to three are just the beginning of encountering the extraordinary. Even reaching level three is just the ability to skillfully use one's professional power and build a complete combat system that can be applied to any situation."

"The next four levels up are legends! No matter what era, they are qualified to leave their own legends!"

"If levels one to three are about contact with the transcendent, then from level four onwards, it's about mastering the transcendent. Powerful individuals of this level, even in the transcendent era, are giants. They can easily build a powerful force and even claim the throne!"

"Doesn't the Kro Kingdom have pillar-level warriors? Through a combination of skills, or the aid of certain special transcendental items, they can quickly boost their strength to the point of barely touching the fourth level, thus creating a crushing advantage over ordinary third-level warriors."

"A powerful being of this level also represents the upper limit of power in our world today."

After hearing the last part, Melen asked doubtfully, "There are no fourth-order legendary masters in our world?"

Sir Light nodded and said, "Our world is at the stage where a spiritual tide is about to rise. If we want to have the conditions for the birth of a legendary powerhouse, unless something unexpected happens, it will take at least several decades."

Melen was a little dumbfounded. Didn't he just say that he could only know the so-called "truth" after he possessed legendary strength?

Is he going to have to wait for decades? !

Or is it enough for him to be at the Pillar of the Kingdom level?

As if seeing Mellen's doubts, Sir Light said: "In fact, even in today's environment, it is not impossible to achieve legend."

Melen's expression was shocked, and he showed an attitude of listening attentively.

Sir Light smiled and said, "One of the simplest methods is to directly absorb the legacy of a legendary master and inherit his power. This will allow you to break through the limitations of the world."

At this point, Sir Light's expression grew solemn as he continued, "But this method generally carries significant risks. Those relics might still contain the will of that powerful being. If we can't suppress and absorb it, we might be devoured by it, leading to a complete resurrection."

Sir Light looked at Mellen and said seriously: "This is also the main reason why I asked you to come here."

Mellen looked puzzled, not understanding how he was involved again.

Sir Light explained, "The absorption and struggle for the legacy is actually a test of will. In other words, if you can suppress the opponent's mind and cause them to waver, you can indirectly weaken the opponent and gain an advantage in the competition."

Mellen's expression became increasingly strange.

Sir Light continued, "Indeed, I once found a legacy of the Dark King in a certain ruin. After much consideration, I chose to absorb it."

"During this process, he and I influenced each other. At certain moments, he was even able to directly control my body and make many arrangements. Of course, these arrangements themselves could not touch my bottom line."

"In this invisible confrontation, I always have the upper hand, but he is not without opportunities, because he knows where my weaknesses are."

Seeing Sir Light staring at him when he said the last sentence, Mellen was completely stunned and thought "what the hell".

'No way! No way!'

"Is it true that your eyes resemble your mother's?!"

Sir Light nodded and said, "You're right. After all, you are his son. I can't bear to see anything happen to you!"

he?!!

Mellen's expression froze. He suddenly felt that things seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

Sir Light continued, "For the next three months, I will enter a deep sleep to complete my digestion of the Dark King. He will then activate all his previous arrangements and hunt you down with all his might."

"The current timing is the Dark King's final struggle. He has staked everything on this, so I have no choice but to join in."

Mellen's mouth twitched as he asked, "So, I'm about to face the pursuit and killing tactics of a former legendary master?"

Sir Wright nodded.

Mellen was stunned. He didn't know what expression to make.

Seeing this, Sir Wright smiled and said, "Don't put any pressure on me. If it really comes to the last resort, I will take action."

Sir Wright takes action?

Doesn't that mean the 'Dark King' has succeeded?

If he didn't want this to happen, he had to run away with all his might and survive these three months.

Thinking of this, Mellen said solemnly: "I understand, Uncle Wright, is there anything else you want to teach me?"

Sir Light said with a smile: "Stay away from Blossom Town, the farther the better!"

Mellen nodded and said, "I understand!"

Sir Wright took out a golden pocket watch from his breast pocket and handed it to Mellen, saying, "Here, here you go."

Melen took the golden pocket watch and looked at it carefully.

On the front was an eye pattern, and on the back was a line of words written in wizard language...

We bear witness to fate, and we remain silent.

After opening it, the dial has jumping hands and patterns of the sun, moon and stars.

Sir Light said, "This is a special and extraordinary item from the School of Prophecy, called the [Pointer of Destiny]. Using it can gain guidance from fate, but in return, it will also consume your own 'destiny'. Therefore, when using it, you must be cautious. Otherwise, fate can make you lose as well as gain."

"This is the advice your mother once gave me, and now I give it to you."

PS: I am speechless that the chapter has been reviewed. I just saw it now and I roughly understand where the problem lies. I will post it again and see.

Chapter 111: A Difficult Struggle, Spike's New Attitude

Looking at Mellen's departing back, Sir Light's eyes were leisurely, as if he had traveled through time and saw that figure in the distant past.

After a moment, his eyes gradually became calm and indifferent. He waved his hand slightly, and Santos immediately understood and bowed and left.

Sir Light closed his eyes, and his breath dropped to almost nothing again, like an exquisite wax figure.

Shadows slowly flowed from his body, submerging the entire hall in an instant.

…………

Outside the Flower Town, Mellen stepped out of the shadow world.

Looking back, the Flower Town seemed to have become even darker, and even faintly emitted a scent that made him feel extremely uneasy.

He knew it was time to leave and get away from here as soon as possible.

"I never thought I would actually skip school. It's really exciting to think about it."

After muttering to himself in a humorous way, Mellen summoned Spike, made the dog bigger, and then jumped on the dog and shouted, "Pippi dog, let's go!"

Spike, who was about to run away, stumbled and turned to look at his boy with an expressionless face.

Mellen chuckled and stroked Spike's head, which slightly relieved his anxiety.

In a hurry, Melen chose to go south directly.

In less than two hours, he arrived at Danmu City, the closest big city to Roland City.

After entering, Mellen found a place to have a big meal, replenished a lot of materials that might be useful, and then left the city.

He had figured it out on the way. The Dark King was now entangled with Sir Light, which was equivalent to tying himself up in Flower Town. The farther away he was, the more he would be able to escape the other party's control.

This is also the fundamental reason why Sir Wright reminded him to stay away.

Melen actually thought about hiding in a big city and using official power to protect himself.

However, firstly, as a former legendary figure, the Dark King must have extremely astonishing means, and other forces may not be able to protect him; secondly, the actions of Sir Light and others may not be completely unknown to the royal family and nobles of the Kingdom of Kro, so his identity would be a little too conspicuous.

Therefore, the best option is to seize the time to escape.

Mellen doesn't have a specific destination yet, so he can only go wherever he wants.

Not long after he left Danmu City, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the surrounding environment. He could always see something shaking in the shadows of the grass, trees and stones out of the corner of his eye, but when he turned to look, he found nothing.

Thinking of the ability displayed by Sir Light, Mellen felt a sense of awe and immediately ordered Spike to move to a place away from the large number of shadows.

His action seemed to have triggered some kind of reaction, and the shadows around him suddenly bulged and deformed, turning into monsters composed solely of shadows.

These shadow monsters have different appearances, as if they were transformed from different life forms.

Melen turned over and got off Spike to avoid interfering with the dog's fight. Xiao Honglian also came out of the [Blue Ring] and protected Melen.

Spike rushed towards the shadow monsters, and with just one encounter, he tore several shadow monsters into pieces.

But soon, the scattered shadows gathered together again and turned into a complete shadow monster. Except that its body was a little lighter, it seemed as if it had never been injured.

"Woof!~"

Spike roared, and [Heavy Mountain] and [Giant Engine] were activated.

The gravity field enveloped all the shadow monsters, making it impossible for them to move.

Spike's claws were wrapped with thick earth elements, and he swung his claws to smash the shadow monster into pieces. This time, the shadow monster could not recover.

At the same time, Melen and Xiao Honglian were not idle either. He held the [Final Trajectory] in his hand, concentrating and being alert, while Xiao Honglian condensed the bleeding needle and accurately killed the crow-like shadow monster in the sky.
