Chapter two hundred and eight: the fate of mortals
It is now the 71st year of the Holy Calendar. It has been ten years since the last battle between orcs and humans. The collapse of the Cretan Empire is called the Cretan Kingdom, known as the Bronze Dynasty. The powerful dynasty that has been passed down for nearly two hundred years has collapsed, causing the re-split of the entire Zhongzhou, and the huge land is in a land without a border.
Eight years after the Holy Maiden returned to the Kingdom of God, Pope Hodep, the Pope who had no talent but had grown the Church of Light to the most powerful level in a thousand and hundreds of years, responded to God's call and left the world. A series of internal chaos and struggles for power and profit, coupled with the huge losses in the previous war, several church legions were annihilated and lost, making the Church of Light unable to reach out to Zhongzhou.
The powerful King of Golden Rose died in battle on the Sumeran Plain of the Cretan Empire. The Mara Kingdom had only one young queen, and the headquarters itself was full of conflicts. As for other countries, they were even more powerless to send troops to Zhongzhou.
The great nobles in the entire Zhongzhou have become independent and have completely entered the chaotic era. For hundreds of years, the half-orc tribes of the orcs who have been exiled due to the slave trade have also established their own power here. In addition, some orc tribes that have migrated here when they have seen the opportunity from the Red River Plain, and the entire Zhongzhou has become a mixed area of humans, orcs, and orcs.
With frequent wars, various trends of different from those in the human kingdom and the orc kingdom appeared here. A large number of orc caravans and human caravans traded here, and the entire Zhongzhou became a buffer zone between humans and orcs. The boundary between humans and orcs became blurred here.
Here, you can see orcs living with humans, half orcs doing business on human streets, human aristocrats hire orcs as guards, and orc tribes hire human scholars as staff, which is something that could not be seen in the past.
The orc sacred Seville Empire, like the contract signed with mankind ten years ago, never invaded the human kingdom again, and peace came on the earth.
In the capital of Saint Seville Empire, Sakya, and in the palace, Verdanti was wearing a wide blue burqa, and the crown bound the golden hair. Outside the wide palace, there were a large number of guards standing layer by layer, and there were many Sun Church sacrificial robes in the temple.
Within several layers of curtains, a woman who was extremely weak was already at her death. She was a werewolf woman with burgundy hair and red wolf ears. She was about forty or fifty years old. She was the werewolf princess Apley, who was still young and youthful. Wrinkles began to appear on her face and eyebrows, but it can still be seen that she was once a beauty that was fascinating.
For a woman, especially a beautiful woman, ageing and deteriorating is the most terrifying thing in the world. Especially when she sees herself aging little by little, her face has not changed at all, which is simply the biggest punishment for her.
Especially when she gave birth to Delmedi, although there was no problem with the witchcraft of the pig wizard Uruk, this witchcraft that violated the rules still caused damage to her body and greatly reduced her body's lifespan. Uruk also told her about this problem, but she still insisted.
This problem that hurts the origin is that even the church's healing techniques and ordinary wizards cannot be cured. The conventional methods do not work. April has been concealing this problem. It is too late and cannot be saved. Moreover, April also refuses Vildanti to beg those wizards against her beliefs.
Verdanti lay beside the bed, holding Epri's hand, her thin shoulders trembled constantly, looking helpless and sad, but Epri was very calm, feeling a sudden enlightenment as if she had let go of everything.
"Okay, Vildanti, don't be sad, it's fine, isn't it? I'm in my fifties. Not all ordinary people should be aging and slowly die at my age!"
April touched Vildanti's face, as if she wanted to see her beautiful face clearly. Her fingers brushed her golden and dazzling hair, and her pair of flickering pupils like lions were shrinking at this moment. She looked at her blankly and suddenly smiled.
"Everyone will come to the end of his life. I am afraid of getting old. Beautiful people should die while beauty is still alive. I am very happy, Vildanti!"
Vildanti finally couldn't help but burst into tears: "Epri, thank you!"
"Thank you for your support for me over the years, thank you for everything you have done for me, thank you, thank you, really thank you!"
Verdan grabbed Epri's hand tightly. Epri supported himself, pressed against Verdanti's face, and kissed Verdanti's lips, just like when Verdanti was stubbornly bringing her seriously ill back to the Kingdom of Engido in the Amos ice field, she also kissed Verdanti like this.
Everything is like a cycle of reincarnation, beginning from this and ending from this.
"I thank you too, thank God, I fell in love with a Son of God!"
After saying this, Epri felt as if he had lost all his strength, and let go of his tight hand and fell onto the pillow.
Verdanti's head was tightly pressed against the bed, the crown on his head fell down, and a soft blonde hair spread out, and his originally stubborn and majestic face suddenly became soft and weak.
At this time, the Sun Church, who was waiting outside, sounded the bell representing the journey to heaven, and recited the eulogy in the Sun Bible, praying that Eple's soul would rise into heaven, and a large number of knights guarding here knelt on one knee together.
At this time, there was a noise coming from the corridor outside. The rapid footsteps rushed to the door from that moment, and pushed open the door of the room heavily, but saw this scene.
Delmedi was wearing armor and holding a helmet. He had just rushed back from the border, but he didn't expect to see this scene. In an instant, the helmet fell to the ground. His golden hair, like Vildanti, stayed longer and looked more like his mother.
At this moment, Delmedy fell to the ground and grabbed his hair in pain: "Why don't you wait for me to come back, why don't you wait for me to come back!"
Delmedi was completely in regret, pain and at a loss, but suddenly raised her head and looked at Verdanti: "Why, why don't you save her!"
Verdanti said angrily: "This is your mother's choice, and what should I save her? This is the fate of mortals, everyone's fate, you and me, and everyone, even the saints and the pope of the Church of Light, cannot escape the rules."
Delmedi's excited beautiful face turned red: "But you are Will, the Lion King, you are the son of a god. How could you have something that you can't do? How could you have..."
Vildanti said powerlessly: "I can't do it, and this is her request!"
Delmed wiped away the tears from his face, watched Verdanti take out the long sword from his waist and point it at Verdanti, and immediately saw a large number of guards around him surrounded him, Verdanti reached out to stop them, and looked at Delmedti quietly.
"Lion King Will, I hate you!"
