Pillar of Yita

Tianlan looked at the others and asked, ”Mr. Mazak, do you have any words to leave us?”

The old steward’s voice was somewhat hoarse.

”He asked me to tell you that your task is now coming to an end.”

She froze for a moment, slightly opening her mouth.

Beside her, Fang Hong seemed unsurprised.

Tianlan couldn’t help but say, ”But Nikopolas, Lady Misu...”

Shayek interrupted her calmly, ”From the moment we drank the Blood of the Demon Dragon, the fate of the Oathkeeper Clan was sealed. We once slew those monsters with our swords, and now they return from deep within our blood, but everything begins here and everything ends here—”

”The former holders of Galapea, their descendants and progeny, their ancestors once built great deeds, and their successors must now fulfill their ultimate wish at this moment.”

His faint grey eyes looked at each person: ”A thousand years after the Giant War, the history of the Oathkeeper Clan has ended, and the history of this era has just begun. Leave this place, far away...”

”You have completed the task assigned to you by my master, although your journey is far from over.”

”From now on, everything here will be irrelevant to you. And you will witness this land rise from the Cloud Sea and end beneath the Sea of Fire.”

The old steward’s deep gaze finally rested on Fang Hong.

”Young man, do you understand what I mean?”

Fang Hong gently nodded.

”But I really didn’t expect so much to happen here while we were heading south.”

He looked around and answered softly, realizing that even Red Leaf hadn’t told them some things. Of course, perhaps she herself didn’t know.

Shayek replied unhurriedly, ”You probably haven’t heard of these events in the south due to the Prime Minister of the Colin People suppressing the news. In fact, your people have already intervened, and not long ago a group of young people investigated this matter, and stayed here for some time.”

And amidst their question and answer, a page screen unfolded slowly before Fang Hong, showing obvious changes in the world event timeline.

’Dragon’s Witch event line changed—’

’Third Calamity Star event line sub-directory listed more branches—’

...

When returning to the ship, everyone’s mood was somewhat subtly changed.

Fang Hong turned back, looking at the distant Forest from the ship’s rail, behind the mist was the glow of the Wind Lantern. Faintly, it pierced through the shimmering Tree Shadows.

The swamp seemed endless under the Moonlight, the flat Horizon appearing like a mirror-bright wetland, with some starlight reflecting the stars in the sky.

There it might be the direction of Traveler’s Rest.

”Task completed?” Luo Hao pulled each person up from the gangway one by one, and asked.

Fang Hong nodded lightly.

”Did you return the things?”

”No,” Elisa replied, ”as a reward, they were given to us.”

”Does that mean there’s no other reward?”

Everyone was slightly stunned, seemingly it was indeed that way, but they had forgotten to argue about it at the time.

Luo Hao looked at everyone’s expressions, stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, ”No reward is fine, actually you have gained a lot along the way. Eteliria has some tasks like this, incorporating rewards within the process.”

Is that so?

Elisa nodded gently but seemed somewhat silent.

At this moment, she couldn’t clearly distinguish whether this was truly a high-dimensional informational world or a real existence?

The innkeeper hadn’t left anything for them, not even Linus-Lucius gave them an emblem at least, but the words Shayek had told them were enough to answer all their efforts over the past year.

That sentence was always very simple—

Never forget the fallen enemy.

Making a comeback is not the Dark Giant Dragon, but truly ominous foreboding hidden beneath the wings of the Dragon.

That is the Star of Calamity’s glow.

Mazak sent them southward to search for the past of Dragon’s Golden Eyes, perhaps not just to eliminate the threat of Dragon King Leifgard, since the Giant War was already a story of a past era.

They, along with the Oathkeepers, have been buried in the dust of history. The last grievance between Nikopolas and Galapea wrote the final chapter of this story.

And after that, a new era begins.

Unlike the calamity star faced by the Numelin Elves, today they still do not know the name of that shining demon star in the sky, but it has already truly entered this world and will surely stir a storm.

Fang Hong looked up at the dark night sky, where the southern sky, with its Star Rank of six, faintly flickered with a red eerie light.

And they still cannot know what Eteliria’s future will face.

As for Tianlan, this young girl was silently looking into the dark distance within the mist, seemingly feeling an emotion she had never experienced before.

This was the task they had been doing from the beginning, until today, it had finally come to an end. But inside her heart was a feeling of emptiness, what had they truly changed, or maybe nothing had changed.

She looked at Luo Yu beside her and couldn’t help but lean gently on his shoulder.

”Luo Yu, do you think Mr. Mazak and the others can defeat Nikopolas?”

Luo Yu looked down at the poet Miss leaning on him.

He quietly thought for a moment, then nodded.

Everything they did might eventually have some effect.

Galapea’s past, a thousand years ago, a hundred years ago, thirty years ago, all the way to today, from Idus to Dolifen, everything will change. Perhaps, hopefully, for the better.

”Where are we going next?” Luo Hao’s voice asked from the other side of the deck.

”Gula Port.”

Fang Hong replied, ”Next, we are heading to Gula Port.”
