TL: Sorry everyone! Had to delay the upload today since exams came up. But here! I hope it's not too late. I'll be uploading 6 chapters today to compensate. ._.
The necromancer had long believed that he would be burned to death and did not think about the possibility of getting another chance. He didnt expect Robb to release him, which was simply unthinkable and somewhat subverted his understanding of him.Robb said with a smile, "I know you're confused and that you don't know what's going on. So, let me make it clear that the reason I released you is not so complicated. I have a different set of criteria for measuring the crimes of others, and by my standards, you have yet to reach the point where you have to die. It's that simple. "
"Of course, 32 was killed by me because I thought he was a very bad person then. It's called self-defense, and I'm not going to apologize. Robb, "you're lucky I didn't kill you in self-defense, so you got a chance to be released."
The necromancer and apprentice didnt know whether to laugh or cry and lacked words to say.
Robb said, "you see, I am a very lazy man, and I dont like moving when I sit on this stool. I could have gone out to find out what was going on outside, but I was too lazy to go, so please tell me what happened outside. Anyway, your movements have spread everywhere. There is no need for you to keep a secret."
The necromancer froze, and after several seconds, he sighed, "all right!"
There is really nothing to keep secret anymore. The entire army has been moved.
All the towns west of Bright Road, except Westwind Town, should have been captured by now.
And the army of the undead stationed in Nanli village should also begin to march to Bright Road. The necromancer stopped hiding things. Looking at the time, the leader should be outside the city of Bright Road right now. Hes probably talking to the White Lion Cavalry from a distance right now.
The necromancer said, Then, Ill tell you in this war, we are the justified side.
Robb said, Everyone considers themselves just. Dont emphasize that part anymore.
"No, we really are just." The Necromancer's face flashed with a touch of stubbornness, just like Little Yi when she said that the Church of Light was an organization of justice.
He said calmly, "this war was foreshadowed as early as 16 years ago on the Black Dragons Flight."
Robb said, "Hmm? What happened sixteen years ago? "
He told the dark history of the continent, but the three adventurers and Little Yi were well aware of the past, and the four were startled almost simultaneously, "The Black Dragons Flight 16 years ago? Are you talking about the battle when the Black Dragon attacked Black Earth Tower?"
"Exactly!" The necromancer said mournfully, "the king and queen of the Kingdom of Gran were both killed in that battle. The Black Earth Tower was knocked down by the Black Dragon, and the Kingdom of Gran was left in turmoil.
Robb listened patiently. The trio of adventurers and Little Yi, plus the necromancer and the apprentice, were there recalling the past. Robb listened for a long time and finally understood what happened sixteen years ago.
It turned out that the former capital of the Kingdom of Gran was not "Capital of the Saints" but the "Black Earth Tower."
Here we must first explain the four factions of the magical kingdom, Gran!
The Kingdom of Gran is a country based on magic, divided into four factions: fire, earth, water, and wind!
For example, Xuelu is a fire magician.
Each of the four major factions has its own main city, the main city of fire is the "Ardent Flame Tower," the main city of water is the "Trembling Ice Tower," the main city of wind is the "Thunder Tower," and the main city of earth is the "Black Earth Tower."
Although theyre called towers, it is actually a huge city built with the tower as the center.
The four major cities are very prosperous, and the most prosperous of them is the Black Earth Tower because the royal family chose this city as its capital.
The capital will inevitably have a more important political and commercial status, but at the same time, it also births a problem, that is, the more prosperous the city, the more treasures there will inevitably be. And because the city has a lot of treasures, itll attract the attention of the Black Dragon easier.
Sixteen years ago, that is, year 1328, the year of the Black Dragons Flight!
Black Earth Tower, the capital of the Kingdom of Gran, was attacked by the Black Dragon. The king and queen were excellent warriors. They did not believe the rumor that no one could defeat the Black Dragon. The two fought together, leading the royal knights and court magicians to fight to the death and defend the capital.
But then, they really died.
The black dragon killed the king and queen, nearly wiped out the royal knights and the court magicians, knocked down the black earth tower, turned the whole city into ruins, and then returned to his nest contentedly with the treasures plundered from the city.
The black dragon was happy, but the kingdom of Gran was in chaos.
When the king and queen died, their only daughter, the orthodox heir to the throne, was only four years old, young and ignorant, and unable to take charge of the overall situation.
Various princes from all over the country sent troops one after another in a vain attempt to gain the throne.
The final winner of the war was Grand Duke Mondra Belmonde Dracula, who, with the support of the White Lion Cavalry led by another Grand Duke, Yingsi, silenced all opponents as quickly as possible and took the throne.
After he rose to the throne, Mondra, who claimed to be the king of the Kingdom of Gran, abandoned the ruins of the Black Earth Tower, moved the capital to his stronghold, and renamed it "Capital of Saints" as the new capital of the Kingdom of Gran.
And his most trusted right-hand man, the Grand Duke, Yingsi, led the White Lion Cavalry to sit on Bright Road and help him defend the whole west. (TL: Ive changed it from Great Duke to Grand Duke since it seems to sound better)
This is the history everyone knows.
At this point, the necromancer's voice suddenly became angry, You all know this, right? But do any of you know where the princess who was supposed to inherit the kingdom of Gran has gone? The princess, who was only four years old then, what kind of tribulations did she suffer?"
Robb shrugged. "I understand now! Its an old story."
The three adventurers also spread their hands, "We also understand! It's really boring. "
Only Little Yi said, "what are you guys doing? I've heard the archbishop talk about it. At that time, there was chaos in the kingdom of Gran, and the little princess escaped from the capital under the protection of her attendants and applied for adjudication at the Holy Church of Light. The Pope could not bear to see the little princess get bullied and the people of the Kingdom of Gran being hurt by the war, so he sent the Holy Light arbitrator to lead the Templar Knights to help the young princess.
