"Crimson Imperial Capital" Heimdall, the capital of the Erebonian Empire, is the political center, financial center, and cultural center. It is also the gathering place of spiritual veins. It is the veritable heart of the empire.
His father, the man who must be defeated, "Iron Prime Minister" Gillias Osborne, is here.
The prerequisite for "mutual restraint", the "Black Star Cup" is also here.
No matter before or after starting over, this is a place that cannot be bypassed no matter what.
At the same time, because Lives is a satellite city of Heimdall, it is very close to Heimdall. It takes 30 minutes by train and about two hours of running with Qinggong. Therefore, it was selected as the first teleportation target. This worked out. Questions can also be rushed back in time.
Generally speaking, the end point of the transmission will be at the spiritual vein node. The spiritual vein node is a geomantic treasure. It is difficult to guarantee that it will not be discovered in Hamdar, the largest city in the empire.
But Caster had her own way, and she chose the destination underground.
Heimdall is a city that has been destroyed several times and rebuilt several times. The space underground is larger than the space above ground. Because the space passages are too complicated and there are monsters infested, only part of it has been converted into a sewer, and basically no one will set foot in the deeper places.
Caster takes advantage of this. As for the underground monsters, they didn't pay attention to them. If you don't come, forget it. If you dare to come, I will destroy you - a sword master-level combat combination has this confidence.
The transfer went very smoothly, as can be seen from Caster's expression.
Just imagine, an iceberg suddenly shows nostalgia, the answer is obvious.
"Caster, have you been here?"
"It's not just me who has been here. Every traveling witch must come here for a pilgrimage. This is the original shelter of this land. Without it, no one would be able to survive that era."
The era Caster refers to is the "Dark Ages." It was the darkest and cruelest period in human history. Crisis was everywhere on the earth. Human beings could only hide in underground shelters to survive. It was not until the situation improved that they returned to the ground again, where they established the later The Erebonian Empire.
Rean knew about the "Dark Ages" and the Sanctuary, but did not delve into it until Caster mentioned it. He couldn't help but have more respect for the ancestors of the Empire.
The young man who was determined to shoulder the future of the empire clasped his hands and prayed silently in his heart.
"I hope the heroic spirits of my ancestors can protect me and cut off that dark future."
Samlia did not have ancestral beliefs, and Rean had no intention of believing in heroic spirits, but with the living example right in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.
Caster, who was standing side by side with him, also closed her eyes. A faint halo of light could be vaguely seen flowing around her body, illuminating the dim underground and adding a sense of sanctity to her.
After finishing his prayer, Li En opened his eyes, looked at the shimmering Caster with some expectation, and asked softly: "How was it?"
The brilliance gradually faded, and Caster shook his head slightly: "It's not ideal, but it's effective."
What we are going to test today is not only the teleportation, but also the method of replenishing spiritual power without relying on Rean.
Manipulating spiritual veins and borrowing the power of spiritual veins is a compulsory course for witches. When it comes to replenishing spiritual power, the first reaction of witches is to draw from spiritual veins.
It seems feasible at the moment, but because of the difference in existence between servants and living people, the effect is not ideal.
"As long as it works, it proves that the direction is correct." Rean seemed very optimistic.
This is not just one witch, but a collection of all witches. So many people work together to find ways to improve the spells.
Maybe the witches have already started "meetings" to discuss ways to improve.
The Iceberg Witch is a taciturn person of action. She casually dispersed the physical form of the staff and took the first step: "Let's go to the ground."
"Don't you want to go around more? This place is very important to you, right?" Rean suggested. Today's schedule is not tight at all, more time is reserved for transmission failure.
"No." Caster refused, "It's just a relic of the past. Like us, it's an afterimage of history. The important thing is that there is a future now."
"Without the past, there is no present and future. I think it is meaningful to cherish the past." Li En followed, but did not give up persuasion.
Hearing what he said, the Iceberg Witch's expression softened slightly: "Maybe you are right, but this place has not changed for many years, and there is no difference from when I was alive. If you really want to miss the past, you should go to a new place. A meaningful place.”
"Balfrem Palace? It's temporarily inconvenient to enter."
This was Rean's first reaction, but he quickly rejected it. It was both a royal palace and an administrative center, and there were a lot of "acquaintances" there who were operating in secret today.
“How about the Imperial Museum?”
"Let's start with Balfrem Palace. You can just take a look at it from a distance without going in. It has special meaning to me and some of us."
"Okay." Rean would not refuse such a moderate request, "Let's find a nearby exit first, and then go to Delekels Square."
Dreikels Square is a square built to commemorate the victory of the "Lion Battle" and the greatest ancestor of the empire, "Lion-Hearted Emperor" Draikels. There is a huge statue of Dreikels in the center of the square. .
The enemy in his prime is wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand. He is an extraordinary warrior. He is a must-go place for imperial people to "pilgrimage".
Rean had also been here before and was impressed by the great achievements of the emperor more than once. However, he did not expect that the emperor would reincarnate as his father, become the prime minister representing the government, and continue to rule the empire. When he thought of this, he felt complicated. , I never want to see that majestic statue again.
Caster around him was in worse condition. His iceberg temperament had long since disappeared, and his obvious mood swings even affected Rean.
"What happened?"
"I remembered some past events." Caster took a long breath and his expression returned to calm, "Haha, Drekels is indeed an amazing guy. But to me, he is just a murderer."
"You were from the Lion War period——" Rean understood clearly.
"I am the guide of Otrus, who you call the 'false emperor', and the only person I have ever loved in my life."
Hearing such an answer, Rean had a headache.
The witch is not a single legend, and there is not only one witch at the same time. There are two different versions of the good witch and the evil witch in the legends of the empire.
Both actually exist, but their positions are different. Take "The Battle of the Lions" as an example.
Drekels won, and the witch standing next to him was naturally kind.
Eutrus was defeated and was nailed to the pillar of shame in history. The witch with him could only be evil.
Rean is no longer a simple boy, and he will not simply view things in terms of black and white, good and evil.
In actual contact, my biological father was definitely not great and upright, so the false emperor who was characterized as lewd and cruel might not be so evil.
