.The light was like a shuttle. Seven years passed as if they were blinking.                                                     

If Precia became the political center of the floating alliance as Victor planned, although Taran is still a crystal female, it is no longer as important as before. The politics and economy have been gradually shifting to Precia over the years.

Differences began to arise within the Magic Association. Conservatives insisted on following the old system that had been a thousand years old and moved their headquarters to Precia, which has become the largest production site of magic crystals in the southern continent. Radicals believed that they could not succumb to the lackeys of the Iron Blood Emperor. Just when the Magic Association gradually weakened due to internal strife, Shadow and Alchemy two organizations that were originally affiliated with the three trade unions gradually grew, and were as important as the status of mercenaries, Magic Association and Temple Alliance.

Alberrecht is still the Supreme Emperor of Notting and has not been restored as people have guessed. The three heirs are still alive. The first and second princes are still stationed in the northernmost and southernmost of the empire. Lucien has not changed his other positions except as the leader of the Knights of the Holy Light, and he still serves as the governor and representative of the Temple Alliance. Fernandez is also the Grand Duke of Taran, and Fisher is still the chief of the alchemy. Livia died in Hydein's territory in the third year of marrying Victor as the Duchess of Tidies. Alberrecht declared war on Hydein on this ground. After the magic advisory board, Victor received a new title. Prince Tidies, although it never lived in Tidies.

There were four battles between the two empires. Although people could not understand why Alberrecht wanted to fight with Heide, another main force in the Light camp when the battle was about to come. However, as time went by, people gradually got used to the changes in business roads and the floating alliance gradually replaced Heide and became the boundary between the northwest and northlands of the southern continent.

As the camp war approached, many cult organizations that believed in darkness sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Among them, the fastest one was the god of revenge Sig. The god of death who changed his name appeared in the form of a new god, not only confusing the believers of Manger, but also confusing their own believers. They did not know that they believed in a god who was once knocked down from the throne of God. The leader of Shamu, who was determined to take revenge, lost his childishness when he was young. He became a substitute for Victor who could not appear in front of the believers, and presided over and managed the entire sect. After the improvement of the Alchemy Academy and Victor, the soul golem that could only be made by the church and the temple flowed into the people in an improved way, changing the iron law necessary for severe injuries in the past, greatly reducing the mortality rate of soldiers. Angelo, a semi-dead, also escaped the fate of being regarded as an annihilation of the undead.

Now, when talking about Victor Wood, the people no longer look at it from an alien perspective, especially the people of Taran and Preciya. The undead lord has become an indispensable existence in their minds.

Compared with the newly emerging small town seven years ago, Precia is a city of freedom that is more prosperous than crystal rays. The wonders of dwarves, orcs, dark elves and temple alliances from the north can only be seen here.

"It has changed a lot," Viconia sighed at the bustling crowds on the street. Seven years are not short, but it is obviously not enough to turn a town that originally had a population of more than 10,000 into its current situation.

That person, no, the undead had the power to change the world as his father thought.

"Class leader, we seem to be targeted." The young guard who accompanied him whispered that since he entered the city, someone had been quietly adorning behind him.

Looking back at the stalker wrapped in a cloak, Viconia looked around and finally selected a relatively remote alley. “Hedin’s spy is very brave, and he dares to come to Precia.” In the narrow alley, the stalker’s arrogant tone made Viconia, who originally thought they were spies from a certain country, stunned. When she saw the other party lifting the cloak and revealing the sickle emblem on her chest, she smiled in silence.

"I'm still wondering when spies can act so blatantly. It turns out they are people from the Revenge Cult. No wonder." But you chose the wrong target. We are just ordinary merchants, not spies."

"Stop it! Preciya had already cut off trade with Hyde in the past. No matter what his identity is, he would be the enemy as long as he stepped on this land!" The believer waved his homemade single sickle and rushed towards Viconniya, who had only five expanded guards.

They are not members of the Revenge Cult at all. If I guess correctly, they should be ordinary people in Preciya. But why do they pretend to be believers of the Revenge Cult?

"What are you guys doing here together?" A harsh reprimand came from the entrance of the alley, and more than a dozen knights wearing silver armor squeezed in. The special badge on their chests surprised the people on both sides. It turned out to be the private guard group directly under the lord.

"Does the outsider want to cause trouble when he first arrived at Precia? Take out your passport documents!" Just as the Knight asked for inspection, several men in black who pretended to be the Revenge Clan ran over the wall and glanced at the members of the cult who were fleeing. The Knight strode forward and repeated the inspection order again. However, Viconia took out the ID she carried with her and handed it out. Then, the group of them were taken to the town hall.

"I'm meeting again, Captain Guard." Seeing the man who was swaying at the entrance, Viconniya's lips rose slightly. She knew everyone, and it was him who took her and Uncle Aps to the inn.

Isfir did not answer, but nodded to the escort soldiers. Then Viconniya was pushed into a room alone, and her guards were all left in the corridor.

The spacious chamber is exactly the same as when I came seven years ago, with huge sanctions hanging on the walls. Tables, chairs, carpets, and even decorative armor in the corners of the walls have not changed.

"You have not seen each other for seven years, and you are still as reckless as ever. Even if you inherit the position of patriarch of Meadness, I can't see how much you have improved than you were seven years ago." The person sitting behind the solid wood table raised his head from the mountain of official documents, and his blood-red eyes made Viconniya's body feel a lot of goose bumps.

The aura is still so strong”

Just as Viconniya couldn't help but sigh, the lich spoke again, and raised her searched document, the pass signed by the Pope.

"You don't think I dare not touch you with this thing, right? Viconniya Meadis

"I haven't said that, Prince Ranxia

The lich left the pass that was worthless in his hand. He stood up and walked to Viconia's side, and his slightly narrowed eyes made Isfire, who was standing by the side, sweat for her.

Except for formal occasions and Alberrecht, no one dared to say that title in front of the lord.

This woman is either extremely courageous or extremely stupid.

"What excuse do you plan to use this time? Trading is no longer useful. Unless I step down from the position of Lord, I will never allow Precia. No, it is the entire Floating Alliance and Hyde who resume trading."

"Can you please take your leave?"

He glanced at Viconniya who was forcibly pressed to the ground. Victor waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave. Isfier closed the door and saw a figure he knew so well that he was walking through the corridor and hurried towards the meeting room.

"Tell me, what tricks does Hydein want to play?"

"My master hopes to make a statement to Emperor Notting through you and stop the meaningless war

"Master? Is Hydein's Elf King?" I was so timid that I wanted to send a woman like you to serve as an envoy?" Although the Meadness family was a merchant, they have always been Hydein's prominent family and occupy a very high position. Victor naturally believed that the master Viconia mentioned was the king Soderin, who stood at the top of all Hydein's tribes.

"No! It's Princess Vienne. The battle of the camp is approaching. Princess hopes to stop the war of wasteful people and money. The common enemy of the two countries is the evil dark clan," Viconia bit her lower lip and plucked up her courage to fill in the remaining words under Victor's almost oppressive gaze: "Even if you want to avenge Duke Selin, please endure until the war is over."

After being strangled by the neck suddenly, Viconia couldn't lift it up in one breath. Unexpectedly, Victor, who had no expression on his face, would suddenly be in trouble.

"If I go into battle and kill King Soderin myself, can Your Highness the Princess seek revenge on me after the war?" A silver necklace was pulled out from Viconniya's clothes, and Victor gently pressed the green crystal embedded on it. The flashing light showed that the magic crystal was conducting magic communication.

"stop!"

The door was pushed open suddenly, and a figure who broke in like the wind rushed over and saved Viconniya, who was strangled to breathlessness.

"Cough" looked up, and saw a face that looked like an elf with a dark look. Viconia still remembered this face. Lucien, the Paladin of the Church, is also the half-brother of the undead lord Victor.

"The news is still as wise as ever. It seems that I have to properly clean up the eyes that the temple in the city wants.

"You can't kill her, at least not yet." Not only is the appearance much more mature than seven years ago. Lucien's heart has also changed less in his youth.

"Hmm? Not yet." The Majesty of St. Vancetis is planning something Victor has not missed the keywords in Lucien's words. In recent years, not only Hydein, but also Notting and the church have also begun to get into evil, and the disagreement between the two major forces has turned from secret to light.

"The war is about to enter its eighth year, and there is still more than a year to fight the camp. Shouldn't the light camp unite to fight against the dark clan? Viconia, who breathed smoothly, stood up straight with the support of Lucien. The main purpose of her trip south this time was to convince Victor, who had become Alberrecht's favorite minister, that if he came forward, the chance of success would be much higher.

"You seem to have forgotten the reason for this war. My wife died in your country. Princess Viaen actually wanted me to convince Alberrecht to give up the best opportunity to annex Hydein?"

Victor sneered sarcastically at Hyde's whimsical imagination for the envoy.

"I haven't forgotten, and the princess hasn't forgotten. But "You are the dead, isn't your wife a name to you?"
