"A long time, well, a thousand years is not a long time. But it was enough for Kamaria to decline. A thousand years ago, Alanvor was the most prosperous country, far more than dwarves, orcs, elemental creatures and even humans. It was in Morris The forest has stood there longer than a thousand years, and during that time the moon elves—I mean the ancient elves—have fought many wars, but Alanvor has won them all and never lost a single one."
York couldn't help but sigh. "Not once, or not recorded even once?"
You'd better not doubt the goblin's message. Uriel was also doubtful, but he would not be stupid enough to say it. Otherwise, when Aurora throws bubbles at the adventurer, he won't be able to watch the show. "I think Alainvo is not well documented in most people's eyes."
Aurora continued: "But one year a thousand years ago, Knox was invaded by the demons of the abyss. The war spread all over the world. Each race has its own battlefield, and Alan Wo's battlefield is in Binny Yaaio. The order suffered a heavy defeat in the first battle, especially the Alanwo elves. So they put aside their pride and looked for allies everywhere. Even the Sala people, a nation that the elves had despised in the past, the Elf King also tried to reconnect with them. Make peace.”
"There is a record on the stone tablet in Green Rose City," the apprentice said.
"Alanwo and the Sala people have formed an alliance there." The goblin tossed up a gold coin. The currency of elves is different from that of humans, let alone the ancient countries thousands of years ago. The front of the gold coin is engraved with shallow feather-like compound leaves, and the back is embossed with a broken moon. Fortunately, the coins are still made from mysterious metals—Smiley Face Mine and strange gold and silver. It contained even more rare ingredients than the current Abbey gold coins, the adventurers assured them.
If Painter had been present, York told them, he could tell exactly how much Smiley Mine it contained just by weighing it in his hand. Uriel still remembered that the dwarves regarded the method of mining the Smiley Face Mine as a treasure and warned them not to spread it. But as early as a thousand years ago, the elves used this mysterious ore to mint coins.
"The ancient king of elves, I mean, His Majesty the King of Alanwo. Is he the nameless one?" Meimi asked.
"He was not yet." Kamaria Elf replied, "Alanwo was also very resistant to the Nameless Ones. They couldn't figure out whether these people were companions or enemies. The Nameless Ones did not belong to the order side."
Uriel knew what she meant. Sauron of the Ring told him that the Nameless Ones were neither creatures of order, nor did they belong to Chaos, and they were caught in the middle. This made the apprentice feel sympathetic.
However, he seemed to hear the description of the fairy Aurora. "Become. You said he is not a nameless person?"
"His name is Nicholus, Nicholus Timir Sinodele. You impolite fellow."
Who told me his name? Uriel refrained from pointing out that the goblin also did not use his own name. Magic made him tired, and the apprentice still expected to get the truth from Aurora. "I'm sorry, it's His Majesty Nicholas. He became the Unknown One?"
"I thought I made it very clear. Haven't you seen someone do this?" Before she could get any answer, Aurora suddenly realized. "Oh, I remember, Newell wants to turn his fire into the spirit of the dead. This is not becoming a nameless person, he is making a mess of his soul."
York muttered, and Uriel could only clearly hear the name of the goddess of light.
"Nikles was no different from the elves at first, I mean fire. But later when the evil dragon's lackeys attacked Kamaria, he showed extraordinary power. That was not given to him by order, and he did not follow the rules. With nature, the power to reverse the laws and distort the truth. The creatures of order cannot understand, and the gods will hate them. Then comes a terrible war - an inevitable war, tragic, red, and scorching... He will crush it alone Killed all the demons that entered the city. Those stinking sons of depravity didn’t even leave ashes behind.”
Uriel knew very well that this was not terrible, let alone war. "What about His Majesty Nicholas?" he asked softly. Meimi shuddered and realized something. "How is he?"
Aurora looked him over. "This is the first time I've ever seen someone care more about the Elf King than the Demon."
"Victory is always imperfect," the apprentice replied, "so I guess a victory that costs too much is the same as a failure."
"A good idea. But people always don't understand such a simple truth." The goblin agreed. "As you may have guessed, Niklos defeated the demon, but also destroyed himself. At that time, Kamaria was already facing a desperate situation, and most of the ancient elves were killed or injured. The benevolent king sacrificed himself to the gap between order and chaos. , he abandoned his name and finally ushered in his end.”
"Broken Moon." Meimi whispered.
The battle of Frostleaf Castle came to Uriel's mind. A dark-wounded necromancer, he used thousands of souls and Sovero's potion to gain new life, but turned himself into a monster. Joey said that by then he was already unknown.
"Is that the price?" he asked softly. "The price of becoming unknown is death or madness?"
Aurora denied: "It's not a price, no matter how much you pay, it's useless. Having the power of the Nameless One means that he was originally the Nameless One, but no one discovered it before. Uriel, because he is, so he able."
"I heard that the Nameless One is the incarnation of evil—"
"Devils belong to chaos, but the nameless ones are different. But for Knox, there is no difference between the two. Do you care whether the robber or thief comes in the house? You won't welcome them anyway." York answered him. The goblin glanced at him, with a look on his face that I knew he had.
His words were truth, admonitions that circulated in Knox, but they did not endear him to anyone. Black Moon Lake became quiet. "That's not what I said." The adventurer immediately added, "I have only seen the Nameless Man on the execution platform."
Aurora snorted. "Lucia hasn't expressed her opinion yet, Sita. If you don't know the position of the god you believe in, it's best not to express your position in a hurry. You Sita are always like this, when will you have some brains?" Seeing the orange-faced man, he shut up obediently. Mouth, she returned to the previous topic. "After the First War, Alanvor lost a third of its land."
"One third?" Then came the little gray wolf Mimi, who again attracted the glare of the Kamaria fairy.
"Don't interrupt, little fur ball." York, who had learned his lesson, told him to shut up. The apprentice covered his eyes.
"How do you understand demons?" Aurora stared at the dilapidated castle. "They are endless, ferocious and cruel, and everywhere they go are the remains of disasters. They slaughter living creatures, create plagues, and desecrate the dead; they crack the earth, let volcanoes erupt, and magma flow across them. It is the fire of the abyss, full of toxins. , even the lava giant can't adapt."
She turned back sharply and glared at them. "But we were retreating steadily, and the armies of countless races were defeated one by one. Their strong cities and fortresses were burned, and the kingdom suffered."
Something heavy flowed in her voice, red-hot molten iron, thick steam, and waterfall-like blood flow. The battlefield that Joey had shown him was magnifying before his eyes. Uriel couldn't help but take a step back, side by side with the adventurer and the werewolf.
After her emotions gradually cooled down, the apprentice was able to understand the rest of the story. "Finally, the demon army reached the capital. Kamaria is the capital of the moon, so the demons chose to attack the city during the day and rest at night. This left the elves defending the city unable to fight back. As soon as they left the city gate, they would be endlessly attacked. Endless enemies were overwhelmed. The ancient elves took advantage of the favorable location and kept the situation in a stalemate for a week. At noon on the seventh day, Kamaria was breached."
Aurora looked at the treasure at her feet. "The support of our allies is too small, and the Sara people need Alanvor's assistance even more. Due to the tide of the Black Moon, the supplies they obtained from their alliance sank to the bottom of the river, and the Sara people perished. My people put away the sunken ship Everything. But in the Black Moon River, we are all messengers of the Broken Moon and cannot return these treasures."
"Beautiful Alanwo, the holy white country, the glorious civilization, I witnessed its decline with my own eyes." The goblin sighed sadly. They still miss the former owner of the Moon Capital.
Maybe it's more than just nostalgia. "When Kamaria was breached, His Majesty Nikleus, Timur I, leader of the great Alanvor. He was determined to destroy the invaders, even if it cost his life - Gods, I can't even describe what it was like. noble."
The aria of praise was accompanied by ripples in the water, and Uriel began to feel that the relationship between Aurora and Niklos was extraordinary. He kept silent to avoid saying the wrong thing.
"In short, the King of Alanvor became a nameless one in order to defeat the invading demons." The goblin emphasized again, "He lost his name and everything. He was the last hero of the ancient elven dynasty. As a descendant of Knox, I hope you Mention him with enough respect."
Meimi stuck out her tongue. The apprentice knew that werewolves never took kindly to elves. "What happened to Kamaria is really regrettable. When we bring the treasure back to the surface, the epic story about His Majesty Nicholls will surely spread to Fife Tanner."
"I just want people to stop focusing on the Nameless One's identity when they mention him. He is the King of Alanvor and my best friend."
"This... the nameless one doesn't have a very good reputation, but there is inevitably something different in it." The adventurer began to think about his words while wearing his wet armor. "I know that many people are not worthy of their reputation." But anyone can see his reluctance at a glance.
Fairy Aurora made a gesture of crossing her arms, and the water droplets around her were beating continuously. Thank God she didn't decide to break off the communication.
"After Niklos died, Kamaria collapsed."
"why is that?"
"It's the nameless ones. Their power causes terrible damage. You can imagine the highest level of mystery you have ever seen. Faced with the suppression of the mystery, the City of the Moon even stagnated in the daytime."
