The tone of Corny's first half of life has always been gloomy.

Her mother was a slave, so she was also a slave.

As for the father, who knows? No one will care.

The eternal yellow sand, the hunger and thirst day after day, the empty eyes of her mother, the cold in the middle of the night, the never-ending war, and the discrimination and bullying from others, all of which Kony has long been accustomed to.

It's like the world should be like this.

Life is painful.

Her mother once told her this.

He even wanted to strangle her to death more than once, and then kill himself.

It seems that this way, we can say goodbye to these pains.

But Corny still overestimated her courage. When the pain of suffocation and the unknown of facing death hit her, she pushed away her mother who was in despair and madness, and she struggled violently and screamed hysterically.

But it attracted the attention of the slave owner.

Her mother was whipped to death, and the angry slave owner just felt a little unlucky.

Because in the eyes of the slave owner, Corny, who has grown a little taller, can undoubtedly be sold at a better price than her mother, who is already considered a disabled person.

Those nobles always like to destroy fresh and tender flowers.

Then Kony was resold. On the way to the mountains through the desolate Karin Desert, a slave trader who stopped to camp asked her to dance for everyone.

But she can't dance

The bewildered Corny was forced out of the car by the sharp tip of the knife. After a while, the hot touch under her feet forced her to keep changing her feet and start to 'dance' on the yellow sand.

She wanted to cry, but the slave merchant asked her to laugh.

In the distorted aesthetics of the slave traders, the immature body that keeps moving and the smile that makes a compromise seems to be a dance that is pleasing to the eye.

Corny didn't know how long she had been 'dancing', but when she was in a trance, the crowd suddenly sounded a panicked and desperate warning sound.

They encountered 'robbers'.

A somewhat special robber.

A silver-haired half-elf.

Holding two fang-like scimitars, she rushed into the crowd.

Wherever he passed, there were cold sword lights and pillars of blood rising into the sky.

She crossed the desert full of corpses and dried bloodstains, came to the ignorant Corny, stuck one of the scimitars in the yellow sand, and told her:

If you want to be free, just pull out that bloody long knife and follow her.

Because the road to freedom must be accompanied by blood and fire.

At that time, Corny didn't know what freedom was. She simply felt that the 'sister' in front of her was very powerful and could easily kill those humans that she could never defeat.

She also wants to become that powerful.

If she was that powerful, maybe her mother wouldn't have died.

Later, she finally understood that that feeling was called protection.

The half-elf who saved her from the fate of slavery was named Jenissar.

And there are many rescued 'slaves' like her in the Marching Mountains.

For example, Maria is much younger than her.

They studied together and grew up together. When they grew up, they also became "Jennie Sal".

They followed Sister Jenny's example and kept rescuing other slaves.

In this process, they learned forgiveness, forgiveness, cooperation, and grace, but they were also accompanied by anger, hatred, despair, and sacrifice.

Janesar told them to learn to control their emotions and not to be swayed by the death around them and their own hatred, otherwise they will never lose the path to redemption.

Corny desperately asked Jenny Sal:

They are just repeating rescue and sacrifice, but compared to the entire Kalishan, their power is like a pool of water in the desert, and they may disappear completely due to a sandstorm at any time.

Since we clearly know the result, what is the point of doing this?

She originally thought Jenny Sal would tell her the answer.

But Jenny Sal only told her one story:

After the Elves' Skyfire Era turned the entire Kalishan into a desert, the land was completely plunged into chaos and darkness.

The art and civilization of the Elf Age were completely destroyed as the palaces burned, and barbarism and ignorance once again dominated life.

At that time, the Rose Dragon Ilvira Salisal passed through this land of suffering. She re-established order to this chaotic land and brought unprecedented ideas and balance.

She advocates that all creatures should be equal and should not easily enslave others.

Under her leadership, Kalishan ushered in the best era.

It is no longer a lie that all people are created equal. Under the shining of the red sun, the sons of former slaves and the sons of slave owners sat together to learn and grow together and talk about brotherhood.

As long as you work hard enough, you will surely become rich slowly.

As long as you work hard enough, there is hope of realizing your ideal.

Unfortunately, her rule is too idealistic

The most important thing is that no matter how great she is and how she considers the people under her rule, she is still a giant dragon.

But human desires are endless.

By the time she discovered her mistake, it was already too late.

She eventually died in the conspiracy of her subjects.

But over her corpse, the voice of accusation still echoed.

People cried out in despair: Their king does not understand people's hearts.

So the kingdom collapsed, and barbarism and strife returned.

All that remains of the homeland is ruins.

Jenny Sal said that it was the regret and unfinished business left by her teacher. She also made another attempt, but unfortunately, she also failed, and the failure was even more complete.

But as for Jenny Sal’s own story, she doesn’t want to tell it.

Jenny Sal told her that they could only find a solution by themselves, and she was just a complete loser.

But even so, Jenny Sal is still the light that illuminates the path of her life in Kony's heart.

She also firmly believes that in the distant future, she will be able to find a right path for Kalishan and her compatriots who are suffering.

But on this road that seems to never have an answer, a small accident suddenly occurred.

A group of 'businessmen' from the North visited them and claimed to have brought cooperation that could change their situation in Jenny Sal.

But in Corny's eyes, this group of people is arrogant and shameless.

Especially that damn 'murloc'! Although she was sure that it was definitely not a real murloc.

Not only did he ask Jenny Sal to cooperate with them unconditionally to provoke the powerful Ryden Federation, but he also needed to bear the name and revenge from the other party afterwards.

Although she promised to help them tide over the difficulties in the process, Kony did not trust them.

The content promised by the other party is so beautiful that it is like a lie that can be easily exposed.

I also don’t believe that there is such a city-state without slaves, because that is something that even the Rose Dragon mentioned by Jenissar ultimately failed.

But to everyone's expectation, the other party actually invited them to visit their city-state in the north.

And she was actually appointed by Janissare personally to go to the city of Minas Tirith as one of the envoys.

This made her a little scared, she actually wanted to bring Maria who was not familiar with the world.

But now that the matter has come to this, she can only choose to believe in Jenny Sal.

Facing this unknown magic and journey, Corny felt uncontrollable anxiety.

'What will be waiting for them behind this door?'

She took a deep breath and led Maria into the legendary portal with the group of strangers.

It was an indescribable feeling, like walking into an ordinary door drunk, but as soon as I stepped in, the world seemed to be spinning and I couldn't tell the direction.

It's like falling further and further into the endless abyss.

"Sister Kony! We seem to be flying!" Maria's excited and cheerful voice came from her arms.

Hearing this, Kony opened her eyes suddenly and suddenly realized that she was really 'flying'!

What a fart!

That damn 'murloc' actually opened the portal in the sky!

So everyone was doing free fall towards the ground.
