For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King

  Chapter 143 Their Aftermath (Part 1)

  Rain Moon is the fourth month of the year. The tears of the Holy Spirit "Mother" turn into rain to nourish all things and bring vitality to the entire Vic continent.

   Newborns born in this month may be randomly favored by Voyager, Hunter or Viper. This in William's day meant that they would have an extraordinary talent for storm, frost, and polymorph spells. Now, it means that those newborns are only allowed to practice related spells.

   The rain outside the window was pattering, William raised his hand and lifted the curtain in front of the window, feeling the wet breeze with raindrops hitting his face.

   At this moment, the carriage he was riding was walking on the official road paved with gravel, and the outline of the City of Thorns was not far away.

  Although this is not the first time he has come here, it seems like the second time to enter the city from the main gate in a carriage like this.

   This is a bit similar to his previous game, except that he had to enter through the main gate when opening the map, and the rest of the time he directly appeared in the city's teleportation circle through "fast travel".

   But he can't do that today.

   In order to solve the problems of Thorns City once and for all, his itinerary to return to Thorns City today needs to be kept secret.

Compared with the last time he came, the City of Thorns didn't seem to have changed much from the outside - except that the originally shining Stranger's Star Lighthouse was surrounded by a temporary black shell, and the City of Thorns and the Great Cemetery. The grass in between is now a dark scorched earth.

   The land there was previously ploughed by William using [Fire Wall] to deal with the wreckage of the undead tide, to ensure that it would not become a wasteland polluted by necromancy, and now...

  【Life Detection】

  In William's eyes, countless weak and tenacious breaths of life are brewing under the scorched earth. When the rain is over, the green shoots will regenerate on this land.

   "After the corpse pulled up by the undead spell is finished, the corpse must be burned to return it to the cycle of the world, so as to maintain the balance between life and death."

   He recalled what he had said to Liliana at the beginning, which was nothing but imitation of a certain friend's often-talked-about idea.

The third seat of the    Tribunal, Frostwitch Neh, a forest elf druid who became a lich by accident. He firmly believed in the Druid sect's way of life and death balance, but he became a lich who blasphemed the life and death balance, and because he lost his phylactery, he couldn't even rest his soul completely.

  At the end of this character's quest line, after William found his phylactery, he could choose to hand it over to him, allowing him to return to the cycle of life and death as he wished, or...

   "For more than a thousand years, his zodiac has probably floated around this planet with the ocean currents, I don't know how many times..."

  William murmured, this was another thing that he felt was doing casually back then, and it had a very bad effect.

  In order to keep this teammate from leaving the team, William secretly threw his life box into the underground river, let it be washed away, and then turned around and told Neh that he had not found it.

  Thinking about it, it was an extremely selfish choice.

   And the reason William suddenly remembered Neh was because he was the first person he mentioned when he heard Black talk about the whereabouts of the other members of the Tribunal before he came.

   And Neh, who has the title of "Frost Witch", was the first member of the Tribunal to lose news.

"Neh returned to Sacred Tree City after that disastrous meeting, aware of the possible future strife, but he didn't want to be involved at all. He hoped that in exchange for his credit for preventing the Lunar Crisis The title of druid priest, he has been guarding the sacred grove for the rest of his life. But this proposal was rejected by the sacred tree king. After that, he was disheartened and left Vic by boat from White Goose Harbor. The continent finally disappeared into the depths of the misty sea."

  The Sea of ​​Misty is an ocean between the Vic Continent and the Ruins of Ossis. According to legend, that continent was completely sunk to the bottom of the sea because it completely angered the entire Moon Realm.

   He was lucky in that he left before the war broke out.

   Black commented.

After that, the sixth "dragon" Dua King returned to the Dragon Bone Islands, and the seventh "ranger" Remedios Moon Shadow returned to Ava, and was elected as the city lord of Moonfair City - this The development of the two tribunal members is roughly similar to William's post-game talk.

   Of course, this was if those things didn't happen later.

   And the rest of the people had a relatively quiet life for a few years in the next few years.

At first, the five-person meeting headed by the fifth seat "Lion Heart" Byron could barely maintain the scale of the Watcher of the End, and even used the remaining power of the trial seat to temporarily suppress the eagerness between the seven kingdoms. fire of war.

At that time, although "Star Watcher" Sybila went to the north to find the enlightenment brought to her by [God's Eye], "Magic Front" Evelyn returned to her hometown and chose to become a general magic class. The teacher, "Jackdaw" and "Dark Swordsman" also suddenly lost news.

But the Tribunal still has the existence of five powerful heroes of the Divine Realm: "Lionheart" Byron, "Shadow" Kos, "Scyth Lord" Du Wei, "Windcaller" Jay and "Discipline" Markas .

  Under the suppression of the five of them, the seven kingdoms who were looking forward to unifying the continent through a war had to accept the proposal of temporary peace because they lost the common threat of the Moon Realm. Of course, this peace is only a peace relative to the outbreak of a total war. In fact, the Seven Kingdoms have never stopped infiltrating the Doomsday Watcher and recruiting the former members of the Salvation Army.

  Especially in the Lunar War, the analysis of the various warfare tools invented by the Watchers of the End, and the summary of the usage of the legionized magic casters. The Seven Kingdoms are almost thirsty to absorb this knowledge, and use it as a guide to improve the construction of their own armies.

   "It's not just a monster like the King of Dead Blood that has been shaped by the war, Lord Judge."

   Black said.

"At the beginning, in order to defeat the Moon Realm, we also turned ourselves into a monster. Maybe we were very happy when we saw those war machines and advanced tactics tearing up the Moon Realm monsters into pieces, but But it never occurred to me that these weapons would one day turn towards them."

   After all, the Watcher of the End does not have its own country and subjects, and may be able to maintain the balance of the situation on the mainland with absolute repression in a short period of time, but this balance is undoubtedly very fragile under the circumstances.

"These were all told to me by Coles. At that time, Byron, after realizing this problem, put forward an idea in the Council of Five - instead of waiting until the Seven Kingdoms have gained enough advantages to break this fragile balance , it is better for us to break this balance first.”

  Byron intends to let the End Watcher support one of the seven kingdoms and unify the entire continent first.

   "So the Council of Five was dissolved and divided because of this proposal?"

  William asked, he had learned from Valcke's play that in the future, those members of the five-member parliament chose to support different countries later.

  Blake shook his head and said:

   "No, this proposal by Byron did cause a lot of quarrels, and it did almost break up the entire five-member council. But the thing that split the entire conference later is another thing."

   "Although I only heard about it, and even now I have a hard time believing it."

"whats the matter?"

   asked William.

   "The 'Sai Lord' Du Wei, who was the second seat of the trial seat who opposed the final watcher's support for a certain country to unify the continent, was assassinated."
