She is like a somewhat special outsider, always outside the system of Valhalla, but not too far away - in fact, she is getting closer, even Princess Griffin and Freya

Occasionally, he began to accept her existence, and even discussed some internal affairs of the kingdom with her. Fortunately, Brando was now the emperor of the empire, and Delphine, as a person around him, also had the support of old Niedwen.

The acquiescence of the high-level officials of the empire, including the Prime Minister and the Great Holy See Valla, would not be justified.

After a while, Brando asked again: "About that report, what report is it?"

Antitina, who was tightly wrapped in his coat, raised her head, blinked slowly, and then reacted - she quickly lowered her head and replied: "It's a report from the witches."

Brando understood immediately: "Has that plan also been implemented?"

"Well," the staff lady nodded: "Because of the full support of the Buga people, although there are some objections, the response is not too big, and it is much better than we expected in advance. Maybe we can see it in two or three years.

We have achieved preliminary results, but many people still don’t understand why we are doing this?”

Brando sighed, and a white gap appeared vaguely on the horizon. His dark eyes reflected the morning light, and his gaze seemed a bit distant.

"It's just for preparation."

"Preparations?" Antitina asked: "What should we prepare? Will we use these in our battle with the Twilight Dragon?"

"No, it's to prepare for the next era."

"The next era...?" Antitina was stunned for a moment. She stood there for a moment and found that Brando had already walked ahead, so she quickly chased after her. She didn't know how to judge her mood at the moment, maybe a little

Shocked, but also a little happy, everything seemed to be back to where it started, just like when they first met - when people were still confused and confused at the moment, or even desperate, only this man firmly believed in the future.

Facts proved him right.

So what about this time?

What will the next era be like? She suddenly became a little envious, because people don't even know if they can live to see the coming of that era. There is no doubt that many people will die in such a war and become

A nameless monument may be admired by future generations, but it may also turn into nothingness and dust like the history of the world.

Only he still believed.

Antitina chased after her and asked in a rare move: "So Lord, what will the next era look like?"

Brando was silent for a moment and said to the two of them: "Maybe that was an era of mortals. That era may be a lot different from now, but people may remember you, Antitina."

"I?"

"Your work," Brando suddenly turned around and asked, "has it been successful?"

"Ah!" The staff lady murmured in surprise. Her eyes were suddenly filled with a thin layer of water vapor. She probably never thought that joy could fill her heart so easily and directly, just as she never thought that joy would fill her heart so easily and directly.

, it turns out that Brando has never forgotten.

That is her ideal and interest, to use the power of magic to change the world.

Even though she has never mentioned this to outsiders, for her, Eruin's affairs are actually just a responsibility to the lord, and only this small dream is everything she loves wholeheartedly. Not only does she inherit

It follows her dreams and inherits her longing for her family.

"It's... just a small success, but there are still many shortcomings. Among dozens of experiments, this is the only one that happened by chance." The staff lady answered like a helpless little girl for the first time.

This caused Delphine, who was behind the two of them, to watch this scene with some interest.

Brando shook his head: "No success would be accidental. Although it is still very crude, it has opened a new page in history."

Antitina's face turned red.

It's not that she is shy, but because she feels too ashamed. She never thought that her work would have such a historical status. If Brando hadn't said this sentence, it would really make people laugh. In this field,

In front of the Hazel people who are masters, how can she dare to say that she has changed history when she, just an Eruin who has just begun to see things, invented such a small thing?

This is truly a ridiculous and generous declaration.

But she didn't know that Brando didn't predict the future, but saw it all with certainty - what this moment means for Eruin and the world. Maybe a few decades later, people will

You will realize how important October of the Year of the Swift is to the history of Warnd.

That's the story about a gray crystal.

In the second half of the year, in many places in central Warnd, a more far-reaching plan began to be implemented.

A number of new colleges were established in St. Osol, Eruin, Silver Bay and the Great Plains. When civilian students from all over the country poured into these colleges, they were surprised to find that their new teachers would be from Buno.

The Twelve Witches of Pine, or the wise people from the Hazel Plateau.

This is the end of the First Era. During this year, black magic has openly appeared on the stage of history for the first time. The power of wizards seems to have begun to decline, and magical technology has begun to become more and more popular under the advocacy of various countries.

The mainstream of order and civilization.

However, in a magic academy in Tonigel, the substitute tutor just took out a shining crystal from under his robe. He held the crystal high and said to all the students in the audience: "You can carefully

Look, this is a gray crystal, you can also call it a mana crystal, it is an extremely unstable dark magic aggregate."

"In the past, people often used it as a violent explosive, and even used it in most wars. But now, using such a magic engine, people can more smoothly use the powerful magic contained in it from it.

Take it out——"

In those pairs of eyes full of thirst for knowledge, the boys and girls who stared at this crystal did not yet understand that they were witnessing the birth of an era.

During this year, a noble lady from Eruin invented a simple machine. With it, people for the first time truly got rid of their dependence on the power of tiamat law.

The first day of the Frost Moon.

The snow has not yet fallen in the Wilderness of the Four Realms. This is the last day that Brando stayed in Manktor. On this day, he once again met the grand leader of the Farnzan Knights. This grand leader’s temples had quietly

The silver threads appeared, which seemed to symbolize the wind and frost that the Faenzan people had experienced in this year. He had traveled thousands of miles and had just returned to Manktor from the Great Plains.

"Thank you for your hard work." When facing the grand leader, Brando had to say: "How is Faenzan doing now?"

"Everything is fine. Thanks to the help of the countries on the Great Plains, we rebuilt the temple there," the Grand Master of the Farnzan Knights replied: "The empire is gradually recovering its strength, although it will not be a while.

It’s my son’s business, but I think maybe by early next year we’ll be able to rejoin the war.”

"That's just in time for the end of this war," Brando nodded: "With the addition of Faenzan and Airanta, the chances of winning this war have also improved a lot."

He paused.

Then look at each other.

Brando knew that this grand leader would never come to him specifically to greet him. Even if he has an extraordinary status now, he can be said to be the nominal commander of the Holy Alliance. But that is only in name, not to mention that as early as

Before the start of the peace conference, the Faenzan people had been showing goodwill to him. Not only the grand leader, the Supreme Judgment Knights and the Holy Light Knights also came to him more than once.

But he still hasn't figured out what the Faenzan people want from him.

The grand leader of the Farnzan Knights glanced at Solomon who was standing aside. The wizard king, who was unusually tall and had a serious face, nodded.

"Your Majesty the King of Flame, someone wants to see you."

…

"Test——"

When Brando saw the skinny and breathless man in the dim tent, he was lying on a camp bed. There seemed to be the last glimmer of light in his cloudy eyes. His cheeks were thin and thin.

He was pale, as if he would take his last breath at any time, but it seemed like a strong will was supporting him, and he persisted until now.

It was such a person who was neither human nor ghost, but Brando still recognized him at first sight.

Perhaps it was because the life-and-death battle in Prague's underground auction house was so impressive.

The scene of the aristocratic swordsman approaching step by step with a rapier in his hand seems to be still vivid in his mind, and it was on the edge of life and death that he chose the path of a planeswalker. In other words, from that moment on, he

So I chose the path that has continued until this moment.

Looking back suddenly, it seems like yesterday happened again.

The meeting of the two people again can be traced back to Prague, in the backyard of an isolated house in a dark alley. After the two people said goodbye in a hurry, they never expected that they would meet again in such a place.

. Just as Brando recognized Test, Test also recognized this young man from Butchi.

His eyes lit up like two will-o'-the-wisps, and he struggled to sit up from the bed, but with the help of a knight, he managed to complete this action.

Test gasped heavily and looked at Brando.

Brando frowned, not used to the other person's direct gaze.

"How did you become like this?"

"Where's the beacon?" Test asked in a hoarse voice.

"Beacon?"

"Those stone flakes," Test seemed to have to use all his strength every time he said a word, but he still expressed his meaning persistently and clearly: "You know, Antitina's father."

Brando was suddenly shocked.

But Viscount Test had already tremblingly taken out a piece of stone from his arms and placed it on the low cabinet beside the bed. He raised his head and looked at Brando intently. The stone piece was gray and gray.

Brown and slightly flat, how could it be unfamiliar to Brando?

"This is the last piece," Test replied weakly: "The tree herders took them to Faenzan, and now, it's back..."
