"What's this?"

Tegula stood on the front line on the edge of the steam city, looking at the huge charred skeleton, soil, and the loss and shock in her eyes were almost speechless.

Although he also saw the dazzling "sun" and the slowly rising mushroom cloud in Clock City, when he actually saw the explosion center, there was another unspeakable tremor.

His face gradually became solemn. He opened the door of the off-road vehicle on one side, turned around and sat up, and rushed towards the steam.

He did not stop in the steam that was being rebuilt, but drove all the way to the neighboring city dozens of kilometers away, which is also the place where he was born.

He opened the door of a tavern and found a corner to sit down. This was a Nordic tavern with wooden shapes. It was adjacent to the city and entered the mountains. Almost 80% of the people here were carpenters or loggers.

Therefore, there are many strong middle-aged and middle-aged people here with big bearded faces, and their bodies are very odorful.

After all, there is no strong body that cannot climb trees, nor can you cut down such a thick tree with a chainsaw.

This is the place where these woodworkers drink and socialize after working. Eighty percent of the gossip in the entire neighboring city can be heard in this tavern, and Tegula can also get the information he wants here.

He ordered a glass of wheat wine unique to the neighboring city and waited quietly on one side...

Soon, his sensitive ears heard what he wanted to hear.

"Hey, have you heard of it?"

"What did you hear?"

"As such a big scene yesterday, wouldn't you go and ask for what happened?"

"Isn't it said it's a secret weapon of an ally?"

The man speechlessly poured himself a large mouthful of wheat wine.

That was a middle-aged man with rosacea.

"That's a nonsense weapon. If you have this weapon, you'll have already unified the world! That's clearly Noah's artifact!"

"What!!?"

Tegula opened her eyes slightly, and some lumberjack doors around her were also attracted by this speculation.

"Do you have any evidence? But, I have never heard of anyone pulling out the King's Sword?"

"Who said that the Noah artifact can only be used through the King's Chosen Sword? Have you forgotten, whose thing is the Noah artifact?"

"you mean....."

The people around him opened their eyes slightly.

There was a glimmer of excitement and excitement in Rosacea's eyes, "It's Noah, He has come again!"

"Did that priest said it?" Another person was on the street and heard Zangs kneeling in the middle of the road praising Noah's lumberjack.

"No, Noah actually appeared earlier." Rosacea talked.

"I have a cousin in Clock City. I once witnessed a beautiful woman being chased by a group of soldiers from the Bauhinia Empire. But later, an angel saved the beautiful woman and then gave the soldiers from the Bauhinia Empire punishment.

There was a rumor at that time that the angel was the fallen angel in the Bible, Lucifer."

"Yes, yes, yes, I have heard this rumor," said one person excitedly.

"My cousin had only the impression of that woman at that time, and only the beauty and a little familiarity." The man pondered for a moment and continued, "But until not long ago, when His Highness the Princess appeared in front of the whole country through projection, my cousin told me that the woman saved by the angel was His Highness the Princess, and he recognized it."

The people around seemed to have thought of something, and a look of excitement appeared on their faces.

"In this case, it just happened to be in the steam zone, and the time when the explosion occurred."

If he says so, He is now with the princess.”

At this time, a lumberjack who had just advanced to the tavern.

"My brother was on the front line at that time. He told me that he was next to His Highness the Princess. At that time, there was a handsome and inconspicuous man around her.

His Highness listened to him very much, and the explosion was also created by him.

The most important thing is that the princess has a different relationship with that person.”

That person's words were almost a solid one.

The lumberjacks around were a little excited.

"That's great, Kiddo is saved. Unexpectedly, although His Highness did not draw out the King's Sword, he directly held the future!"

.....

Tegula was silent, drank the wheat wine in front of her in one gulp, and slowly left the tavern.

A dazzling lightning flashed across the city with deafening thunder, but it still could not stop the night that fell to the ground in an instant.

He walked through the streets and alleys in the neighboring city, and soon walked to a locked church. Then, he took out the church key on himself and opened it.

There was darkness in the church, and only the lightning from the dark clouds outside the window brought some light.

At the center of the church is a huge cross. Since Noah did not allow the worship of the gods, the cross has become the only thing that all churches will place.

Tegula knelt in front of the cross, holding the cross in his hand, and chanting prayers in a low voice.

Half an hour later, he stood up again, groped under the stone table in front of him with his right hand, and pulled a trigger.

The stone platform in front of me was a walk, an entrance for one person to walk, and a staircase that was always downward, but most of them were shrouded in the shadows and it was hard to see how long it was.

That is the underground of every church, with caucus chambers, which can be used as air raid shelter.

He picked up the lamp on one side and the rope he had just prepared on the other side, entered the secret passage, walked dozens of steps, and suddenly realized.

It was a mysterious secret room, and there was nothing in it. There was only an ice coffin placed on the high platform in the middle. Some were like a vampire sleeping in the Western coffin, but the whole body was made of ice.

What was surprising was that the ice coffin seemed to be here for a long time, but there was no sign of melting. Instead, it assimilated this small secret room like an ice cave, with a biting cold.

Tegula looked at the ice coffin, and her tired eyes fluctuated a little more. She slowly stepped forward and stood beside the coffin. He stared at the ice coffin for a long time, and then said in a low voice.

"I thought I would never come to this place again regardless of success or failure, but I didn't expect...

Just like your sudden death, everything is so unexpected."

He stood up, stepped forward slowly, stretched out his hand to wipe the water vapor from the coffin. Through the transparent ice coffin lid, he could vaguely see clearly that a man with long hair and eyebrows were gray, but his appearance was still like a young man in his twenties.

He even wanted to be a little bigger than Tegula, who was Alicea's father, Emperor Sawyer.

He was once praised by the Kiddog ​​Empire as the most promising emperor who had the most hope of reviving the Kiddog ​​Empire.

But no one expected that accidents would always come unexpectedly.

Tegula entered the Bauhinia Empire with Emperor Sawyer. After Emperor Sawyer died, he also brought his body back.

Fortunately, the Bauhinia Empire did not mean to seize the body of Emperor Sawyer.

According to the plan, the body of Emperor Sawyer should have entered the capital with the princess and then buried underground in the New St. Noah Cathedral.

There is a place where all the royal families are buried.

"Your Highness is by an unknown existence at this moment. Judging from your Highness's appearance, there should be no danger, but it is safer.

Judging from His repelling the army of the Bauhinia Empire, He should have been in good faith to the Kiddog ​​Empire for the time being.

Now, they should be heading towards the imperial capital.”

After saying that, he fell silent.

a long time……

Continue.

"You once asked me if I regretted the bloody blood on my hands and the sins I took on for you.

I didn't answer at the time.

Now, I will answer you, I have never regretted it, and I have never regretted it from the beginning when I made that decision!

The king is upright, kind, selfless, and aloof! All sins, all darkness, and all filth are enough for me, as a minister!

Tegula's voice was hoarse.

"But... King! How could you, as noble as you, leave earlier than me, a sinful person? How unfair the world is."

"Your ambitions, your expectations, your promises and agreements have not been realized. Now that the country is in trouble, your highness is still too young. Kiddot needs you, and you can't just sleep like this."

"You told me that people like you and me will definitely fall into hell after death. Although I cannot agree, if you fall into hell, your soul will definitely be the most precious one."

"If your soul is in hell, will the legendary monarch of hell, Lucifer, the deputy king of heaven who fell from heaven to hell, have your soul?"

Tegula murmured softly.

"And can my soul be equivalent to your soul?"

He knelt on one knee, his eyes firm.

"No matter whether that existence is Lucifer or Noah, whether your and my souls are equivalent or not, whether He will agree or not, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will pursue it until I am completely desperate, or to the end of my life, my soul is annihilated.

This is my commitment to you.”

As he said that, Tegula wrapped the rope in his hand around the ice coffin.

Next, he will pursue that mysterious existence, find a definition for his life...
