"You shouldn't stop in Chicago, Edcho."

When the boundless sunset sinks below the horizon and night falls, the bright yellow street lights extend like veins to every corner of Chicago.

The old man holding the scepter stood in front of the window, bathing in the evening breeze blowing from the lake in the distance, silently staring at the deep darkness and the city as bright as fire under the night.

The building under his feet has been emptied, and there is no one. He is the only one guarding the building.

He looked at the grand lights extending out of the city. Lake Michigan reflected the brilliant stars rising and falling in the night. Further away, trees were gathered, and the night clouds intertwined to form a magnificent border.

Edjo suddenly remembered a small town he had visited. When night fell, that small town could bloom with a sea of ​​lights that was even brighter than during the day. The driver was driving on the snow-covered road. He Sitting in the back row watching the pure white snow set off the gorgeous lights.

There was a river outside the town. He asked the driver to stop by the river, got out of the car and walked a long way along the river bank. The lights of the town illuminated the way forward.

A few hundred years ago, this place was still a wilderness.

To put it bluntly, Edcho has been to every corner of the world in his life.

He often goes to the same places in different seasons, and walks the same path again after hundreds of years, because he knows that time will change many things.

Inherent concepts, the scenery on the roadside, and even dreams and goals in life...

Many things that you think will never change usually have a time limit of three years, five years, or ten years.

A long time always changes a lot of things quietly, including things you thought would never change in those years.

The only thing in this world that will not change may only be the power that can be held in one's hands.

Ed Joe once thought so.

But then he suddenly thought, even if power is eternal, what about the person who controls it?

No matter who he is, his life will go through different stages and will never remain the same.

This is true of them, and perhaps so is His Majesty.

In the dim room, the blue light of the virtual projection illuminated Edjo's back.

He slowly turned around, and the man in the projection was Mars who was separated from Pompeii.

"We have lost five of our companions, Mars, do you know what this means?" Edcho said as calmly as the surface of Lake Michigan tonight, "This means that the other party has always been in control of our whereabouts, even with each other. None of them knew their respective hiding spots, and Frixis found our five companions overnight.”

Mars said coldly: "There is a problem here. The time of death of Smith and Hexion was only five minutes apart, but the location was thousands of miles away. Freesis did not have such extreme speed."

"Everyone knows that there must be something fishy in this, but we don't have time to investigate." Edjo said softly, "We always thought that we were hiding well and were the masters of the world hidden behind the scenes, but Frixis gave We learned a lesson."

Mars was silent. In just these two days, they had lost five companions. The number of members of the Presbyterian Council was only two hands, and half of them were removed in one go.

"They didn't die, they just entered a long sleep." Mars said in a low voice, "Frisis can't really kill us. Even if he can still find our cocoons, we can just change our way of existence, just like Ni Alder and the others are the same.”

"That's not the point, Mars. The point is what exactly Frisis wants to do, haven't you guessed it yet?" Edjo tapped the scepter gently in his hand, "He has been hiding for at least a hundred years. As soon as he was born, He started hunting us aggressively, he was gathering strength.”

"We have already given birth to a cocoon, and there will not be much power left in the dragon's bones." Mars said, "If he really wants to accumulate power, he should also hunt down the four monarchs he has personally sealed. After all, that is what he is for. Food stored by oneself.”

"That's because someone ruined his plan." Edjo said expressionlessly, "Someone is guiding His Majesty to face the four great monarchs and the White King. You and I both know this person, and we have long known that he is still alive. According to the news, he is accurately sniping the food that Frixis has reserved for himself. Let us think about it, who is left of the four monarchs? The earth and mountains, bronze and fire have returned to His Majesty's command, the White King is completely dead, and the ocean You Shui escaped with death, and Sky and Wind have undoubtedly joined Frixis’s camp. Even if Frixis wants to devour Sky and Wind, it won’t be now, so his target can only be us.”

"We are the original ancient ones. In terms of qualifications and authority, we are only lower than the previous high priests. If we devour us, even if we can only intercept part of our power, the total of them will not be much inferior to the four great monarchs."

"Frisis has long been eyeing us. Maybe he has been secretly investigating us for the past hundred years, or maybe he has an ally who searches for our information during his sleep. What's more, there is a traitor among us. , joined the Frisian camp."

"No matter which one it is, it is certain that Frisis will prey on us. We don't even know if he understands us."

"Mars, if you want to break the situation, you must introduce an existence that will force Frisius to give in."

"And this person is only Your Majesty."

Mars nodded and said, "I know, but you don't need to stay in Chicago to face His Majesty directly. It's too risky. We can send the information to Cassel anonymously."

"It's too late." Edjo said calmly, "There can be no more victims. Frisis's next target is Chicago."

Mars frowned and said, "You mean Frixis's next target is you? How do you know, you deliberately leaked the traces?"

"No, his next target is not me, but Nissos." Edjo said with a deep look, "Some people foresaw this scene, but obviously the future has changed."

Mars' pupils narrowed and he quickly realized what he was talking about.

"[Prophet]? Are you using yourself as a bait to lure His Majesty to meet Frixis?!" Mars took a deep breath, "This is too radical and not your style. What are you planning? "

"I said, there can't be any more victims." Edjo's eyes gradually became cold, "I don't know what Frisis is trying to plan, but I know that I can't let his plan continue, and I must interrupt him as soon as possible. "

"Aren't you suspecting that he is saving up..." Mars paused and raised his eyes slightly, "What on earth did you guess? Are you so afraid of what he does that you want to interrupt him even if you use yourself as a bait?"

Ad Qiao was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"The Elemental Sea, I feel the riot of the Elemental Sea."

This chapter is a bit short and a bit late... I fell asleep while typing. New Year's Day is also a day for overtime work. There are more things at the beginning of the month, and the checkout and other things were done until 8 or 9 o'clock. Moreover, it is still January, and today I have to start filling in the audit details again, and I will be busy until the Chinese New Year. From the 22nd of last month to now, things have not gone smoothly. First, I was busy for a while, and then it was the end of the year and the end of the month. I was busy again, and now I can’t escape the beginning of the month...

I suddenly realized that if I didn’t change my job, I might never have a New Year’s Day holiday in my life, and I would have to cut it in half during the National Day...

Damn, I hope I can change to a more relaxed job in 2023.
