Even after emerging from the Tower of All Laws, the drizzling rain continued. The puddles at the tree roots resembled mirrors, reflecting the bizarre and fantastical continent of all dimensions.
Yun Wei opened his umbrella, and under the eaves, a mocking smile played on his lips.
Instead of turning around and leaving the academy, he walked towards an increasingly secluded area.
The population density of Lunagal Academy is much lower than that of Moonflower City. Moreover, it is a rainy day, so teachers and students are either in the classroom or staying in the library.
He slowly stopped in front of the tower and loosened his grip on the umbrella handle.
He looked up at the huge clock face and said softly, "You've finally arrived."
In that instant, all the raindrops falling in the entire space were frozen in place.
Yun Wei's open umbrella landed before the raindrops, and six apostles wearing gray-black hoods emerged from the void in six directions, surrounding him.
High-level spells require no incantations; they are all emanating thick, black mist that quickly forms a six-pointed star array within the solidified rain curtain.
The magic circle in the abyss quickly swallowed the mage's body, leaving only his immobile head and shoulders exposed.
In the First Dynasty, doing this usually meant preparing to administer stoning.
It was a rather cruel form of punishment, usually requiring the closest relatives to strike first, personally smashing their own blood relatives until their heads bled.
At that time, there was no concept of civilization, and unforgivable sinners were naturally subjected to as much suffering as possible.
"Hehehehe, are you ready to offer your neck for execution?" The apostle facing Yun Wei chuckled, revealing his bright red lips beneath his hood. "Don't be hasty, Yun Wei. I've already said I'll make you wish you were dead."
“Really? How exciting.” Yun Wei replied listlessly, staring at the raindrops that had lingered on the tip of his nose, and suddenly laughed, “I still remember you, Fahris.”
In the dark depths of the temple, the other party wants to steal an ancient coffin.
The coffin was bound by chains that imprisoned him, and inside, slept the Templar Knight who had captivated him.
See, the story of the Continent of Primordial Chaos will always be the same.
They are connected end to end, repeating endlessly.
...
It was raining outside, and Ephesus stood in the main hall of "Eagle Feathers," using pliers to cut open the ring left by the Eastern guest.
He asked around and found out that if he replaced the ring with a new one, this rare spatial item could be sold for a lot more money.
Ordinary people like him have no need for spatial artifacts.
Moreover, the Zhuyuan Continent is not peaceful right now, and he only wants to stay in Moonflower City and not go anywhere else.
Expensive metals like gold and silver are far too soft and not nearly as practical as iron. The black iron pliers cut the ring off with ease.
Ephesus was looking at the still trembling broken end when he heard the inn door being suddenly pushed open.
The man who appeared at the door was so tall, and with the torrential rain and thunder and lightning outside behind him, he was really startled.
But when he saw the man's face clearly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He recognized the man.
The other person strode quickly to the counter, and just as they were about to speak, they suddenly pursed their lips.
Ephesus keenly sensed that the other man's gaze was fixed intently on his hands, and in his hands, he was clutching the ring that had just been cut off.
He couldn't help but argue, "Well, these are all my personal, legally earned income..."
He didn't dare put it away in front of the other person. Because he suddenly noticed that the other person seemed to be wearing an almost identical ring on their finger.
It turns out, this is actually a pair of matching rings!
Ephesus immediately realized this, but he also knew that he shouldn't know so much.
The man in front of him was so terrifying that his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
Just then, the other person raised their head and stared at him intently with those extremely cold eyes.
The other person asked angrily, "Which room does the owner of the ring live in?"
Ephesus was terrified. He stammered, “Your, your master just left this morning. He was staying in the attic. He had no more gold coins on him. This, this ring was to pay his room fee.”
After listening, Isaac felt his mind was in complete chaos, a cacophony of noise.
God knows how he got through this month!
A month ago, he witnessed Yun Wei completely disregard the promises he had made to him and, behind his back, get involved with that descendant of the Russo family.
He was already filled with grief and indignation at the time, and after witnessing that scene, he was so angry he felt like he was about to explode.
He was afraid that he might say something inappropriate in the heat of the moment, so he suggested that the two of them separate for the time being.
As a result, Yun Wei actually left the palace that night and did not return all night.
He became increasingly furious.
He only felt a sense of relief when his spies reported that the other party had settled in the Eagle Feather area alone.
Isaac had to admit that he was genuinely angry this time.
That night, as he lay alone in the empty palace, clutching Yun Wei's pillow tightly, he felt increasingly resentful.
He was angry that Yun Wei was hiding something from him.
He was furious at Yun Wei's damned generosity.
He was even angrier that he was the one who cared so deeply about Yun Wei.
Why is it always him who has to take the initiative to apologize?
He sneered, stubbornly doing nothing, and simply waited for the other party to return in the palace.
Three days passed, and Yun Wei still hadn't returned. Unable to control himself, fear welled up from the bottom of his heart.
"Green are your robes, blue are your collars; deep is my longing for you."
Even if I do not go, will you not send me a message?
Yun Wei taught him this poem, but at that time, he could hardly understand it at all.
He was already completely captivated by the affectionate gaze he received from the other person.
But what happened? He didn't take the initiative to look for the other party, and the other party really did disappear without a trace!
Yun Wei, you're such a little liar.
He couldn't help but grit his teeth in hatred, and he made a deep grudge against the other party in his heart.
But in reality, Isaac hated this version of himself.
Eight hundred years ago, he would never have imagined that he would one day be so preoccupied with the loss of a man and so heartbroken.
Isaac thought despondently, "Maybe I should take the initiative one more time."
This stalemate isn't going to work either.
Ultimately, he never intended to truly separate from Yun Wei.
It was at this moment that he finally obtained new evidence.
Grand Duke Icebird was indeed murdered, but the murderer was not Grand Duke Wind, as everyone suspected, but rather someone from Florence in the south.
The silent Archduke of Florence is like a lurking viper.
He was hoping to strip his vassals of their lands so that he could form a rebellious faction.
He had to focus all his energy on dealing with the pack of wolves that were eyeing him covetously.
He has far too many weaknesses.
Not to mention the golden clouds and black ropes in the distance, he was even having trouble dealing with the red moon beneath his feet.
He really wanted to prove his abilities.
On the one hand, it was for the responsibility that she should have shouldered, and on the other hand, it was to make Yun Wei happy.
He had always dreamed of one day being able to solemnly swear allegiance to the other party, just like a true knight.
Then, with the other party's tacit approval and a smile, he gifted the entire continent of Zhuyuan to them.
This was the most romantic thing he could imagine, even after racking his brains.
In the days that followed, he became increasingly depressed, and with his series of swift and decisive measures, the vassals finally became much more obedient. At this time, a turning point also arrived in the court.
Grand Duke Chifeng took the initiative to propose that he bestow the Ice Sparrow Flower Territory upon Yunwei.
Isaac should have been overjoyed, but when he thought about how the other party's suggestion implied that he would fight Yun Wei to the death, he couldn't be happy at all.
But naturally, he had no reason to object.
Only someone who lived eight hundred years ago could know the special meaning behind the Ice Sparrow Flower Collar.
Icebird Territory is not only the most barren territory on the continent, but also the homeland of Empress Catherine.
Indeed, no one is more suitable to rule this territory than Yun Wei.
However, he did not want Yunwei to have any other vassals, so he simply confirmed his reputation as a tyrant and stripped the five earldoms and barondoms in the Ice Sparrow Flower Duchy, and then gave them all to himself.
Thus, following his illustrious imperial and kingdom titles, a series of inconspicuous earl and baron titles suddenly appeared.
This behavior is indeed terribly childish, but in doing so, Grand Duke Yun Wei of the Ice Sparrow Flower will only have one vassal under him.
Isaac Moriti Temubronch.
They were ruler and subject to each other, and before Yun Wei became "Caesar," he didn't want the other to suffer any injustice.
However, he couldn't openly express such conflicted feelings after such a long period of cold war.
So he sent his close attendant to deliver the imperial edict and, incidentally, to sound out the situation.
Isaac was convinced that once Yun Wei read his letter of appointment, he would understand his good intentions.
But he waited and waited, and Yun Wei still did not return.
He questioned Robert repeatedly, but Robert couldn't give a clear answer, which made him increasingly uneasy.
The rain continued incessantly that day, and he finally couldn't suppress his fear any longer, so he went to the hotel where the other person was staying in a disheveled state.
He was completely unprepared; he simply could no longer bear the overwhelming sense of loss, despair, and loneliness that Yun Wei felt when he wasn't by Yun Wei's side.
Then, he immediately noticed that the token of their initial love had been casually given away.
At that moment, Isaac suddenly felt like laughing at himself.
But when he heard from the waiter that Yun Wei had run out of gold coins, a deep, persistent pain welled up in his heart.
It seems that the other person is not doing well at all.
Isaac vaguely remembered the other person's terrible lifestyle habits when they first met.
Even so, Yun Wei, are you still unwilling to come back to me?
What am I to you, really?
Thinking of this, Isaac's originally handsome face was filled with self-mockery and bitterness.
In his more than thirty years of service in Ephesus, he had never seen such a contradictory guest.
In almost a single breath, the other person's expression changed several times, leaving him dazzled.
But in a short while, the other party reverted to his most familiar demeanor, exuding an air of haughty aloofness.
Isaac tried to calm himself down. He looked at the ring, which had been cut beyond recognition by the waiter, and said, "I'll offer a thousand gold coins for this ring, and you—"
He couldn't finish his sentence before he suddenly shut up, unable to maintain his calm expression any longer.
Because, in that brief moment, he clearly felt the contract between him and Yun Wei…
It disappeared so easily.
