The world in the box

The king's court was in chaos.

After the death of King Loren, the Shia Empire fell into chaos, and this turmoil lasted for a while.

The crown princes fought openly and secretly, and the whole royal court was in a state of panic.

Finally, Loren's thirteenth son, with the support of Saint Freya, stepped on the bones of his brother and ascended the throne of power.

The first thing King Ade II did after ascending the throne was to honor the Temple of Light as the first church of the empire, but this did not mean that King Ade II would succumb to theocracy.

On the contrary, after King Ade II came to power, he had been secretly competing with the Temple of Light.

Yade II knew that this was a silent battle, and also a long and cruel battle.

Therefore, at first, Yade II was not very concerned about the news from the Giant Wall Fortress from the Temple of Light.

Especially after Yade II learned that Saint Freya was martyred.

But considering the legendary prophecy, Yade II decided to cooperate with the Temple of Light for the time being.

He was different from his old man Yade Loren, he believed in the existence of gods.

Yade II could ignore the Temple of Light, but he could not ignore the oracle.

Therefore, Yade II issued the so-called Brave Order, promising to marry the princess to the legendary brave.

In this, Yade II actually had a little thought in it.

If the oracle was true, then his move could tie the Yade family and the legendary brave together.

Just when Ade II was feeling proud of his plan, a panicked maid broke into the hall:

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Princess Lily is missing!"

"What?!"

...

At the same time, in the main hall of the Temple of Light.

A young priest in white also came to the high priest in a panic, trying to suppress his fear:

"High priest, the Sword of Destiny was stolen by Princess Lily."

To his surprise, the high priest did not get angry as he had imagined after hearing what he said, but looked as if he had expected it.

"Let her go."

"This? High priest, don't we need to recover the Sword of Destiny?"

"No."

"Because, this is an oracle."

After saying this, the high priest slowly raised his head and looked at the statue in front of him with a pious face.

At this moment, the heavenly book under the statue suddenly glowed, and the pages began to turn by themselves, as if an invisible hand was flipping through the book.

After a moment, the heavenly book stopped turning and stopped on a certain page.

The high priest knew that a new oracle had been issued. He slowly stepped forward and read out the words in the book one by one, no longer calm:

"The monsters appear, and the devil's calamity is coming.

The Saint of Fate was born in the Frost Land. She will guide the brave and defeat the hatched evil."

After reading the oracle, the high priest quickly thought of something:

"In the Frost Land, in the north, there is a huge wall fortress. Hurry up, prepare your horses, go to the north, and welcome the Saint back to the throne."

...

Shia Empire, Northland, Frost Forest.

After the warrior recruitment order was issued, countless adult men put down everything and followed the divine magician of the Temple of Light to the north in order to marry the princess and reach the peak of their lives.

After nightfall, these men from all over the Xia Empire gathered around the campfire and talked about everything.

Among them, what they discussed most was undoubtedly the beauty of the princess.

"I heard that Princess Lily is the most beautiful person in the world with her stunning appearance."

"That's right, I saw her once from a distance, and I'm still throbbing now."

"Are you having palpitations? Go see a doctor."

"Get lost."

...

The men talked happily about Princess Lily, but they didn't know that the person they were talking about was among them at the moment.

Princess Lily, who was dressed as a man, heard people around her commenting on her appearance, and her face turned red with anger, and she returned to the tent angrily.

"God of Light, please save me, I don't want to marry these vulgar people."

Princess Lily muttered while holding the sword in the stone tightly in her hand.

"Who cares? As long as I keep this sword, no one can pull it out, and I won't have to marry a stranger."

"Maybe, if the hero is a woman, I won't have to marry."

It was because she didn't want to marry a stranger that Lily stole the sword of destiny.

Princess Lily was unwilling to accept her fate as a "reward" for the hero.

"I am a person, not an appendage of the hero."

"What?"

The sudden sound startled Lily. She looked in the direction of the sound and found that there were other people in the tent.

With the weak light of the fire, Lily saw the man's appearance clearly.

The man sat in the corner of the tent. He looked only about 17 or 18 years old. He had thick hair, bright eyes, armor, and a badge that symbolized the divine vein.

"Who are you? Why don't you go to the campfire to warm yourself?" Lily held the sword in the stone tighter.

"Ryan, what about you?" The man named Ryan smiled casually, and he obviously saw Lily's nervousness.

"Aaron." Lily reacted quickly and said the name she had already imagined.

In the Xia Empire, there are at least 100,000 men named Aaron, and no one can see Lily's identity through this name.

"Aaron? It's a very common name. Why don't you go to the campfire to warm yourself."

"I'm not afraid of the cold." Lily answered perfunctorily, and it was obvious that she didn't want to pay attention to Ryan.

Just as Ryan was about to find another topic, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent.

Accompanied by shouts, the earth began to shake.

Ryan, who was born as a divine vein, quickly realized something. He rushed out of the tent in one step, and Lily also reacted and followed closely.

After they walked out of the tent, they saw a scene they would never forget.

A huge black shadow swayed in the snowy night, blood and flesh flew, cries for help were mixed with wailing, and the whole camp was in chaos.

"Damn, it's a monster! Why would a monster appear inside the giant wall?!"

After seeing the appearance of the huge black shadow, Ryan drew the sword from his waist and shouted at the chaotic crowd:

"Where is the divine magician? Where is the divine magician of the Temple of Light?"

However, before Ryan finished asking, he soon knew the answer to this question.

As the huge black shadow swayed, Ryan saw the figure of the divine magician, no, to be precise, half of the figure, in the mouth of the monster.

Seeing this scene, Ryan's face darkened. He knew that he had little time to react, so he rushed directly to the monster and shouted:

"No one can escape until the monster dies. If you don't want to die, follow me!"

However, in the face of fear, not many people can make the right choice. Escape is everyone's innate instinct.

Only Ryan went against the crowd and stepped into the darkness.

No, there was another person, following him closely.

From beginning to end, Princess Lily has been following Ryan.

Born in a family of divine veins, she knows that in the face of danger, the back of a divine vein is often the safest place.

However, the difficulty of this battle was beyond Lily's expectations.

Ryan defeated the monster, but was also seriously injured.

What's more desperate is that there are not just one monster invading the camp, but hundreds of them.

They gathered in a group, like a black forest, surrounding everyone.

"How could it be? How could so many monsters invade the south of the giant wall? Is there something they want here?"

Ryan thought of something, but that was all.

With his sword broken, he had no choice but to die in the face of hundreds of monsters.

"Assholes, even if I die, I will drag you down with me. Sword, give me the sword!"

Ryan didn't know where he got the strength from, and suddenly shouted at Lily behind him.

"But I don't have a sword..." Lily responded in a low voice.

"Where is the weapon in your arms? Isn't that a sword?"

"No, that's destiny..."

This time, before Lily finished speaking, Ryan turned around and pulled out the sword in Lily's arms.

Suddenly, the whole snow forest was as bright as day.

The chapter of destiny was opened.
