Pattering raindrops fell from the sky.
It hit the knight's armor and made bursts of crackling sounds.
Behind these knights.
It is a dilapidated noble castle.
now.
Inside the castle's council chamber.
Lilith made a casual move.
Several huge candles were lit.
She said after pacing in the parliament hall for a while with her hands behind her back.
“What an old architectural style.”
"There's not even any decorative patterns."
"I'm afraid it's not even as good as the noble castle during the first race war."
"This can't be the architectural style of the Yashen era."
"It is said that the bronze dragon has mastered powerful time-based magic."
"Could this be bringing us to the age of sub-gods?"
And she just finished speaking.
Vivian's calm voice came from the corner.
"This is not a time of tribal warfare."
"It's not the era of Yashen either."
"This style looks very much like the Dark Age between the fall of the ancient gods and the rise of the sub-gods."
Vivian's words surprised Lilith.
"Dark Ages."
"Vivian, does this era really exist?"
"Glory Era, in order to find evidence of the existence of this era."
"We have excavated countless altars from the era of sub-gods, and even ventured into the ruins of ancient gods."
"But no evidence related to the Dark Age was found."
"Not to mention the ruins, there are no written records."
"We know about the Dark Age from some descendants of the Ya-god believers."
"But I can't find any evidence to support the existence of this era."
“We’ve been pretending this era doesn’t exist.”
At this time, Lilith was full of curiosity.
I want to solve this problem that plagues the entire Dharma God City.
To this.
Vivian nodded slowly.
"exist!"
"But this era seems to have been erased from the history of the Old World civilization by a powerful creature."
"I can know the Dark Age because it comes from my bloodline, the Blood Troll."
"This is a creature that only existed in the Dark Ages."
"It is also the only special bloodline that can be fused with the dragon's bloodline."
"I was lucky enough to get the bloodline of the blood troll in the labyrinth under the altar of the sub-god."
"Became the only warlock with two bloodlines at that time."
"And by inheriting the bloodline of the Blood Troll, I learned about the existence of the Dark Age."
"The blood trolls carry the knowledge of their tribe in their blood."
"Through the bloodline, I saw the Dark Age."
"It was an era of incredible chaos."
"Countless divine creatures walk on the earth, bringing disasters and at the same time spreading the divine bloodline to the earth."
"In this era, countless absurd mythical creatures were born."
"They look weird, but they have the blood of various ancient gods."
"The civilization from which these creatures were born was barbaric."
"But it's also a civilization."
"The most terrifying thing is that in the Dark Age, all kinds of outrageous things happened."
"Just like the Blood Trolls, they carry the blood of the Familia of the Ancient God Blood God."
"This race is supposed to be extremely powerful."
"But based on the inherited knowledge I've been given."
"The entire race of blood trolls committed suicide because of the failure of a bet."
"The whole family committed suicide and no one survived."
"Kill yourself!"
Lilith heard such outrageous things.
He also opened his mouth wide.
And just when the two were about to continue their in-depth discussion.
The archway of the conference hall.
Fang Yuan appeared here under the protection of Christian, Qingfeng, and Harold.
Saw Fang Yuan arriving.
Lilith immediately stopped the discussion.
She turned to him and asked.
"Lord, have you noticed anything unusual here?"
Fang Yuan shook his head.
"A very ordinary castle."
"The sentry tower, city walls and the main building of the castle are together."
"The moat outside is also dry."
"The castle was built on a hillside, and no living creatures were found around it."
"Christian deduced that this should be a castle belonging to a declining country noble."
"On the contrary, when I was searching the castle room, I found a text written on a stone tablet."
"After I scanned it with the lord's mark, the mission was successfully activated."
Hearing Fang Yuan's last words.
Lilith had a look of surprise on her face.
"So fast."
"What's the mission?"
Then Fang Yuan projected the new mission through the lord's mark.
"Ding, you have entered the secret realm of the bronze dragon's labyrinth. Under the influence of the bronze dragon artifact's time hourglass, you have come to an era that does not exist in history, the Dark Age."
"Here, your identity is that of a noble from the Country Knight Wasteland Territory."
"It's a pity that your country has been overrun by monsters."
"Residents of the territory fled to neighboring countries."
"You are guarding the dilapidated castle alone, and you are worrying about whether to leave the territory and become a wandering knight, or to go to a neighboring country, join the army, and resist the raging monsters."
"Being a wandering knight means giving up the fiefdom and the wasteland to claim the glory of the past."
"If you choose to go to a neighboring country, you will have to face powerful monsters. Your own country will be invaded by monsters."
"Obviously, your strength is no match for monsters."
"Just when you're in a dilemma."
"You are lucky to have found a stone slab in the ancestral castle."
"It records a mysterious village."
"Your ancestors gained incomparable power after entering this village, and transformed from a little mortal into a noble knight with extraordinary power."
"Now you plan to follow the path of your ancestors and embark on a journey to find the mysterious village."
"Ding, you have been given a mission to find a village."
After Lilith read the last paragraph.
Then he raised his head and asked in surprise.
"Gone?"
Fang Yuan nodded.
"Gone."
"Other than this mission, there is neither a map nor any other clues."
"Let's go find this mysterious village."
This simple information made everyone frown.
"I didn't expect this Bronze Dragon Secret Realm to look like this."
"I thought that after I came in, I could use magic to get through."
“Who knew we’d have to solve a riddle!”
"That's it, don't talk about three days."
"I can't get out for thirty days."
"And this Bronze Dragon Secret Realm has seven levels in total!!!"
"This first level is so troublesome."
"Isn't it the sixth floor at the back~"
Speaking of this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Vivian on the side suddenly said.
"Lord, it may not be as difficult as you think."
These are words of comfort to everyone.
But in the next second.
It actually became a reality.
"Report."
"Lord Lord."
"We found traces of a silver skeleton knight!"
Hear the news.
Fang Yuan suddenly remembered.
"By the way, besides myself, there are also monsters in the Bronze Dragon Secret Realm."
"This secret realm is a trap set by monsters."
"Perhaps we can find a breakthrough point from them."
With this in mind, he left and said.
"Silver Skeleton Knight."
"How many!"
"Are there any high-level undead leaders?"
"Not many, around fifty, a scout team, no high-level undead found."
Fang Yuan thought for a while.
"Kill them!"
"Send some more Ziyue mercenaries out to look around to see if there are any other undead."
"As you command!"
Shortly after his order was given.
Soon the soldiers who had sent the message returned.
"Lord, all the Silver Skeleton Knights have been killed."
"In them, we found this."
Fang Yuan followed the soldier's voice and looked over.
"This is!"
"Map fragment?"
