People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Well, it's just death anyway, so it's okay to die occasionally.

When he woke up, it was several days later.

His heavy eyelids trembled slightly, and when Reinhardt regained consciousness, he felt as if he was resting his head on a soft place.

And it's warm and silky.

I slowly opened my eyes, but what I saw was not the familiar sky.

“What a huge ceiling...”

The mountains wrapped in black cloth blocked his view, but he could still see the golden hair drooping slightly along his shoulders.

"Mr. Rhine, you're awake." A soft voice suddenly sounded.

Then the owner of the peaks and ridges lowered her head slightly, revealing an exquisite face with a faint smile on her face.

It's Fia.

And from his current posture, it was obvious that he was lying on Fia's thighs.

"...Why am I back?"

Reinhardt supported his numb head and sat up from Fia's lap, and found himself back in the basement.

I looked around and found that there seemed to be some activity in the basement.

In addition to Fia who provided a knee pillow, Aliana was making tea in front of the stove. Teacher Seren, who had been immersed in research work, came out of the room at some point and sat on the bed opposite.

Not only that, Lance Shanks's dragon lady came to the basement at some point and was now sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, enjoying the wine.

His peripheral vision just happened to meet his, and Lance Shanks turned his head and raised his hand to greet him: "...My drinking buddy, long time no see."

She was still the same, completely human.

Only the arms and the pair of slender yet voluptuous legs are covered with the rock gray color that represents ancient dragons, as if wearing gray stockings, which feels a bit seductive and full of wild beauty.

"Long time no see, Lance Shanks."

When did she come?

Reinhardt was a little surprised, but he responded subconsciously, then repeated his previous question: "Um... Can someone tell me why I'm here?"

"What else, my apprentice, where do you think you should be?"

The one who responded to him was Se Lian, without even raising his head, his eyes always on the book in his hands, and his tone sounded a little unhappy.

This made him a little confused. It seemed that he had not offended the teacher?

"...Miss Aliana and Miss Dixi sent you back." Feiya suddenly said, still in that gentle tone.

But he found this answer a little hard to understand.

I had clearly instructed them beforehand that in order not to cause trouble for the teacher and Feiya, I had chosen a location outside. Why did I move myself back?

"...Disciple, there's no need to make such an expression. You've been asleep for a long time."

Se Lian slowly closed the book and raised her head, as if she could see through his inner thoughts and explain it to him. However, when she met his eyes, she frowned slightly and said, "...What's wrong with your eyes?"

"Eye?"

Reinhardt touched it subconsciously. Ariana, who had prepared tea, kindly handed him a mirror. Looking at himself in the mirror, he frowned.

what's the situation?

I saw myself in the mirror, my pupils were still black, but in the depths of the black there was a tiny, barely noticeable golden flame flickering.

That was a blessing from the Golden Tree. Not only him, but almost all the magicians and Kalia in the magic academy had it, except for Serlian who was studying the origin.

That was proof that Kalia was a vassal of the Golden Dynasty.

But at this moment, the blessing that appeared in his eyes seemed to become very weak, like a candle in the wind that seemed to be extinguished at any time, as if it was being deprived and losing the grace from the golden book and fading.

Only then did he suddenly remember that Marika seemed to have said that she wanted him to become a Fader and liberate the Law of the Sun.

He was not sure whether the Law of the Sun had been liberated, but it was definitely moving towards the direction of the Faded Ones, like a countdown, although the process was very slow.

"Ah, nothing much. I guess it's because of the broken magic ring. The blessing is a little unstable."

In order not to worry the teacher and other people present, he did not tell the truth because he had no idea how to explain it.

Say you're going to die?

Not to mention whether others would agree, his teacher Se Lian would be the first one who would not agree.

Sleeping? That's even more unbelievable.

He had a feeling that this would definitely be a long process.

"By the way, teacher, you just said I was asleep for a long time? How long did I sleep?"

"...half a month, a full half a month. If you don't wake up, I will find a way to wake you up." Se Lian's voice was filled with resentment, as if saying, "Such a big thing, and you didn't tell me, and you even ran away hiding it from me."

In response, he could only laugh and scratch his head in embarrassment.

However, he never expected that he had slept for half a month.

He had indeed stayed in the dream for a long time, and watched the battle to defend the royal city with Marika for a long time, but even if there was no distinction between day and night in the Royal City of Rodel, it shouldn't have taken that long.

And if that's the case, he needs to hurry up, because he still has things to do.

Thinking of this, he quickly got out of bed.

"...Disciple, what are you going to do?"

"Teacher, I have something urgent to do and something I need to tell you about."

"How about we settle our business first, my drinking buddy?" Lance Shanks, who had been sitting on the sofa and drinking without saying a word, suddenly spoke up.

"...Lance Shanks, I know what you want to do with me, but could you please give me some time? I have more important things to do right now."

"Is it urgent?"

"It's urgent."

"how long it takes?"

"It's not clear yet..."

"okay, I get it."

Seeing Reinhardt's serious expression, with no intention of pretending or shirking responsibility, Lance Sanx nodded: "...Then go do your thing first. We can still wait."

"Sorry, Lance Shanks."

"It doesn't matter. For us ancient dragons, waiting has long become a habit." Lance Shanks waved his hand indifferently and picked up the wine glass again to take a sip.

As Lance Shanks said, what the ancient dragons do most often is waiting, just as they are waiting for the return of the ancient dragon king Praton Shanks, and Praton Shanks is waiting for the return of his god.

"...Disciple, don't you plan to talk to your master about what you are going to do?"

Just then, Se Lian suddenly interrupted.

Although the voice was still calm, Reinhardt knew that the teacher was a little angry.

"I'm sorry, teacher. Actually, I didn't mean to hide anything from you. I'm planning to go to the Eternal City."

"Oh? You're going to the Eternal City? Then I'll go with you. I also need to learn more about that lost city."

With that, Se Lian stood up and prepared to pack her things, ready to take all her research equipment with her.

Her research had indeed reached a bottleneck, and she felt that this bottleneck could be found in the Eternal City or her teacher, Master Luther.

"No, teacher, not this time. I'm not going there for a trip. Can we continue our trip after I come back?" Reinhardt stopped Seren from packing her bags.

"...Is there a reason?"

"Yes, I went to the Eternal City this time to save someone." Reinhardt nodded without any intention of concealing anything.

Seeing Reinhardt's sincere attitude and eyes full of sincerity, Seren put down the bag in his hand and stopped packing.

"...Okay, I'll be waiting for you here."

"Thank you, teacher."

Reinhardt bowed slightly, turned around and said, "...The border area will soon become very chaotic, and I have some things to do and cannot always accompany you. So, I will have Di Xi take Fia and Aliana back to Kalia Castle."

"...Well, Mr. Rhine, you have to be careful. I will wait for your return." Fia nodded and said.

Neither Fia nor Aliana refused and chose to follow his arrangements.

"Then Di Xi, I'll leave it to you."

"Yes."

Di Xi's figure emerged from the corner, knelt on one knee and lowered his head to accept the order.

"...Then I'm off."

As if it was very urgent, Reinhardt immediately walked towards the stairs to the basement, but when passing by the sofa, Lance Shanks suddenly stood up.

"Since you are going to the Eternal City, I will go with you." Lance Shanks said.

"...Well, thank you, Lance Shanks."

He was a little hesitant at first, but he still accepted it and did not reject the other party's kindness.

And Lance Shanks can indeed help him and help him reach his destination.

So, with everyone watching, he and Lance Shanks left the basement.

They both walked very fast and had no intention of taking a detour, so they jumped directly off the cliff of Yizhan Street.

This height is fatal for faders who are weak in water and height, but it doesn't matter to him.

The two of them walked straight through the foggy forest. Thanks to Lance Shanks's company, the rune bears wandering in the forest hurried away as soon as they sensed the scent and did not dare to approach at all.

The power of the ancient dragon is indeed terrifying.

If it were him, Rune Bear would probably want to tear him apart for dinner.

Relying on the route in his memory, Reinhardt easily found the wellhead leading to the underground of the Shifra River.

The moment you step onto the elevator, a magical fluorescent light fills the stone plate, and then the elevator descends at an extremely fast speed.

This is lost technology from the Eternal City.

However, there was actually a reason why he was so anxious to go to the Eternal City.

At the end of the dream, he met an unexpected person, Michaela.

Michaela somehow came to his and Marika's dream, and it was thanks to them that they didn't do anything this time that unnecessary embarrassment was avoided.

And those pure golden eyes inherited from Marika seemed to have seen through everything, with a slight smile on their faces when they looked at him and Marika.

It can be said that he is the god-like person who is closest to Marika. Both his appearance and wisdom seem to be carved from the same mold as Marika.

The only thing is that her combat ability is not as strong as Marika's.

Although he created new prayers from the fundamentalism of the Golden Rule, the power he could exert was always limited.

This is why Michaela came to the dreamland to look for him.

Need his help.

Because Mung, the third son of Marika and Gefulei, dug him out from the sacred tree and prepared to bring him to the dynasty founded by Mung himself.

He was not surprised when he heard this.

Because in the first defense of the royal city, the coalition of kings broke up because of the conspiracy of the Blood King. The so-called Blood King refers to the [Blood King] Mung who defected to the True Mother of the Outer Gods.

The Blood King did appear on the battlefield, abducted a group of battlefield doctors, and disappeared.

As for this, Marika just smiled and didn't care at all.

She was not surprised that her children had turned to the Outer Gods. Moreover, she had already said that these lovely children of hers could become anything, and of course, they could also become the running dogs of the Outer Gods.

What's more, among the three gods, except for Michaela who has some connection with the Golden Rule, the others have no connection at all.

"arrive."

As the elevator stopped, Lance Shanks and Reinhardt walked down, and what came into view was a twilight forest.

The tributary of the Shivla River flows quietly like a stream, echoing with the sound of rushing water. It is surrounded by emerald green plants, and the flames burning in the braziers on the broken stone pillars around it dispel the silent darkness.

It is obviously very deep underground and there is no light, but the plants here are still growing vigorously, which is magical.

It has the artistic conception of a small bridge, flowing water and a home.
