Regarding the Duke...
When the Duke was a child, he came from a noble family in the Eagle Kingdom. However, his mother was not of proper birth, and his status was very low, no different from that of a slave.
But the Duke was very intelligent from a young age and stood out among his brothers and sisters, which inevitably led to him being bullied and suffering inhumane treatment for a long time.
He and his mother depended on each other for survival in that environment, but his mother was still caught up in the power struggle and eventually died without a proper burial.
The Duke then turned to the dark side. He left his family and joined a rival family. With his intelligence and years of understanding of that family, he gradually increased his influence within the family, rising in status and manipulating the power game to destroy the entire family and avenge his mother.
But after avenging himself, the Duke himself became deeply entangled in the vortex of the game of power, unable to escape.
Ultimately, he was betrayed and suffered the same fate as his mother.
Unable to accept this fact, his resentment transformed him into a demon...
He wanted Game of Thrones to disappear from the world, so he awakened the [Game of Thrones] within himself.
To make the game of power disappear from this world, everyone must lose to him and become his slaves.
He lured nobles to gamble with him at an extremely high price; the losers had to obey his every command.
With his brilliant mind and near-immortal body, the Duke won game after game.
Until it becomes the giant hand behind the entire Eagle Nation...
He never sided with the demon race, nor with spirit masters, or ordinary people.
He firmly believed in his own convictions, and that one day he would be able to rule over all those who relied on power and intrigue, so that there would be no more power struggles in the world, and the world would be restored to the most ordinary freedom.
After ruling the United States, he set his sights on the United States.
But he encountered the popular trend of traveling.
Feng Xing witnessed the entire process of him winning the game.
I asked him with a smile:
Is this fun?
This was the first time someone had asked him this question, and the Duke didn't even realize it.
Is it fun?
Of course it's not fun; it's a dirty game.
But he was too lazy to explain to Fengxing, and didn't even bother to pay attention.
So Feng Xing followed him:
I'd like to play with you too.
"Who are you? What gives you the right to play with me?"
Feng Xing laughed heartily:
[I am the future king of this world!]
It sounds like bragging, but it gives people a strange feeling, as if it could actually be achieved.
At that time, Fengxing was only accompanied by Tianya, Anling Butler, Jiu Chanshi, and Xue Ji.
But the Duke immediately saw the wind chimes' potential.
He felt that having such a super-strong team of fighters would help him achieve his goals.
So he agreed to the wind chime.
The Game of Thrones can be understood as a battle of consciousness.
Regardless of their strength, both sides are equal once the game of power begins.
It's like entering a fantasy world, a fantasy world of equality where whoever can eliminate inequality first and crush the other will be the ultimate victor.
The Duke himself rose from the bottom, and his early planning was truly exceptional.
But in the end, Windrunner became the king of the game of thrones.
Once again, the Duke was branded a slave by Feng Xing.
However, Fengxing immediately terminated the relationship between the two parties.
"Why?"
[I just wanted to play around with you, it was fun, I had a lot of fun, thank you.]
"But I hold power over the entire United States, most of the country... Don't you want it?"
[No, I don't want to rule the world this way. Freedom under the control of power is not true freedom.]
"So what are you going to do?"
[Whatever, do whatever makes you happy! I'll just stand here in the street and laugh out loud, and everyone who sees me will feel happy too, laughing along with me. Isn't that a form of domination?]
These words deeply moved the Duke, and he understood why he had lost to this man. He despised power, but still needed it as a tool. However, for Fengxing, power was utter bullshit, and he would use it without hesitation.
So the Duke abandoned his obsession and joined the Windwalker.
The Duke's character is truly a pity. I had a character design for him long ago and always wanted to write about him, but the plot never reached the right point. Later, the story gradually slipped out of my control, and I never had the chance to write about him again. I can only briefly introduce him in the side stories. I apologize for my lack of ability...
Regarding the black crane...
Wu He's original form was a red-crowned crane from the northeastern region, but... he was born without that bright red crest on his head; instead, it was jet black.
Because of their black crests, they were once ostracized by their ethnic groups.
But the children from Northeast China affectionately call him Wuhe. Wuhe seems to be the most spiritual among that group of cranes. He always escorts those lovely children from Northeast China to and from school.
When it was young and injured, it was those kind children who saved its life, and it has always remembered this kindness.
So when the herd begins its migration in the fall, it escorts the children to and from school.
Even when it dons its winter feathers and shivers in the dead of winter, the children will take it home, dress it up, and wrap its crane feet in its coat, so that it can once again take the children to and from school.
When the herds return in spring and multiply everywhere, it also escorts the children to and from school.
But good times are always short-lived. One winter, the demons of the northeastern border launched a major counterattack. Wuhe watched helplessly as his children died one by one at the hands of the demons. His desperate cry echoed across the frozen lake.
