The Purifying Edge.

This name that had not appeared for a long time echoed in Thales' mind again.

how come……

He stared at the "Dragon Breaker" on the piece of paper, with countless questions and confused thoughts.

When he was in the Palace of Heroes, Thales got the precious book "Confronting the Sky" from Thelma, which described a "Dragon Breaker" that was exactly the same as the Purifying Edge, but Thales didn't expect it.

What's surprising is that these strange weapons are so close to his surname and bloodline.

Dragonbreaker.

The Purifying Edge.

Is it a coincidence?

Or should I say, this is the one that sealed Giza...

"So this is...just Queen Esola's dowry?"

Samir looked at Sak'el with a puzzled face, awakening Thales from his memories.

As soon as the punishment knight mentioned the past, he seemed to enter that trance state again.

"More than that, it is also a witness to a piece of history."

"Everything in the treasure house is of extraordinary significance."

Samir and Ricky frowned at each other.

Sacher gently touched the bars of the dark cell, and then quickly removed his hand before it took effect, deftly and skillfully.

"That was probably one of the most tense years between the Kingdom of Stars and Exeter," the former watchman said with confused eyes:

"The invasion of King Nightwing and the disaster of the Third Continent War broke the political balance, causing the destruction of countless small and medium-sized forces. The big countries that had survived the disaster were also uncomfortable, and the Western Continent ushered in another round of reshuffle."

"As a result, the struggle for hegemony in the Western Continent and the conflict between the descendants of the empire and the children of the dragon have reached their peak again."

"Two of the Three Heroes of the Dawn both ascended to high positions. Hero Sarah became the regent of Longxiao City and the actual leader of the Kingdom of Exeter. Midir Bright Star was crowned as the fourth King of Midir in the history of the stars. However,

Under the hatred of the country and the family, they turned against each other and became enemies."

Samuel and Ricky looked at each other, seemingly dissatisfied with the prisoner's free rein and lack of theme.

Thales listened quietly to the other party's almost sleepwalking narration, recalling the poem that Putilai sang in the Black Sand Military Camp six years ago.

"When Dawn Rises".

He still remembers the melody of Putilai and the three protagonists in the song. In fact, the Prince of the Stars learned to play the lute and sing minstrels "without doing his job", which was the reason for the lack of entertainment in the Northland noble palace.

One of the few joys in the game (after the Night of Dragon Blood, the originally not so amiable Lord Fallen Star became more serious and treated any stranger who entered the Palace of Heroes as a potential assassin, including the bards who were supporting the banquet)

.

Sak'el's words continued:

"The political chess game between the two countries has begun again, and is even better than before."

"In this case, due to political needs, the Kingdom of the Holy Tree and the Kingdom of the Stars achieved a royal marriage that is quite rare even in the history of the elves and humans."

Sak'el picked up the paper in his hand and looked at the outline of the strange dagger on it, with a sad expression, as if he was remembering the past years.

"So, after the dragon disappeared for countless years, this weapon became more of a treasure than a battle, more of a commemorative than a practical weapon. It was given as a deliberate gift, full of political significance, and came with Queen Esola.

Kingdom of Stars, enter the royal treasury.”

Sak'el looked at the sketch in his hand and whispered:

"The Dragonbreaker."

"A few years later, the large fortress built on the side of Cold Castle between the Black Sand Territory and the Northern Territory was named after it."

"In the more than a hundred years since then, through that fortress, Stars and Dragons have been able to change their offensive and defensive positions, until Queen Elliga defeated the Exeter coalition forces six times in the famous "Three-sided Pocket" battle, and finally captured

The Cold Castle forced the Yankees to retreat to the northern plains, bringing the Star Kingdom's power to its peak."

Under the dim light of the fire, the words of the punishment knight floated in the long-abandoned, dusty dark prison, and the excitement and vigor of that era could be vaguely heard.

Sak'el gently loosened his fingers and let the paper fall to the ground.

He slowly withdrew his eyes from the void, and his eyes returned to clarity.

"Of course, maybe one of the reasons why the ancestors of the stars introduced this weapon back then was that they were really worried about the legendary Queen of the Sky and that it would interfere in the political situation when Exeter was weak. In this way, they at least have one thing.

Weapons that could theoretically restrain it have never been seen."

Sacher said calmly.

"It appeared," Samir, who had been silent for a while, said softly: "The legendary dragon was in Longxiao City six years ago."

This sentence shocked Sak'el slightly, and also made Thales fall into deep thought.

"On the night King Nun died."

Samir sighed: "The dragon that we all thought was a character in the story fell from the sky and destroyed a disaster before Longxiao City was reduced to ruins."

There was silence inside and outside the cell for a long time.

Until Sak'el closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

"It seems that I have indeed missed a lot in these years."

Ricky seemed unable to listen to Sacher's rambling narration with erratic themes. He took a step forward and asked directly:

"But what I don't understand is..."

"How did the royal secret treasure in Fuxing Palace end up in the Tower of the End?"

Sak'el hummed and shook his head.

"Who knows," the punishment knight's attitude towards the stranger was not so good. He only saw an indifferent expression on his face: "More than ten years ago, for the king's wedding, many things in the treasure house were requisitioned.

Maybe this thing is also on the list, who remembers."

etc.

Thales's ears twitched.

A king's wedding?

Which king?

Are you talking about Kessel V? His wedding when he was still a prince?

With that...Queen Keya?

A beautiful figure holding a doll appeared in front of Thales's eyes, and he felt sad.

"So we can confirm?"

Looking at the paper falling to the ground, Samir turned to look at Ricky, as if asking for his opinion: "More than ten years ago, under the king's order, the Dragon Breaker was removed from the treasure house?"

But Sak'el just looked indifferent and leaned against the wall casually:

"Yes or no, does it matter?"

Samir was about to retort, but Ricky was faster than him.

"Very well, let me change the question."

The leader of the Sword of Disaster still looked calm, half-smiling, but Thales could faintly sense the seriousness hidden in his tone: "What is so special about Dragon Breaker? It doesn't.

Any other secrets?”

Sak'el changed his posture, and the firelight cast long shadows on the wall.

"Then what do you want to know?" His words gradually revealed his impatience.

"According to records, this ancient weapon has been gathering dust for a long time in the Holy Tree Kingdom. Even the Holy Elves themselves know very little about it, so they sent it as a political dowry, let alone us who have expired."

The punishment knight said coldly.

Ricky stared at him carefully, but his expression gradually changed.

It seemed as if the air around him was starting to become oppressive.

"Sacher."

The last trace of warmth on Ricky's face disappeared: "Are you really not aware, or are you just pretending to be stupid?"

Sacher narrowed his eyes and looked back at the stranger outside the fence.

"I'm tired, you should leave quickly," the punishment knight showed no intention of cooperating with the other party, but said in the same cold voice:

"Before the guards show up."

Samir looked a little anxious. He looked at his old colleague's unmoved look, and when he was about to speak slowly, Ricky sneered.

But Thales felt the chill in his laughter.

"Do you know why we spent so much money to come here and ask you these questions, Knight of Punishment?"

The leader of the Sword of Disaster spoke slowly with a sneer:
To be continued...
