"I'm back, Sage."

Standing in the familiar White Tower, looking at the old man in front of him, Montgomery only felt extremely excited. He clenched his fists hard, forced himself to calm down, and then bowed his head deeply in shame.

"I'm so sorry that the Chaos Coast didn't hold ........."

"It's not your fault, my child ........."

Looking at Montgomery in front of her, Nora sitting in the chair showed a soft smile.

"None of us expected that the situation would come to this point, and it is a blessing that you can come back safe and sound...... I already know the situation on the Chaos Coast, and to be honest, I was really worried that it would be too late at that time, but now that I can come back, it can be regarded as the blessing of the Nine Saints........."

Hearing Nora's words, Montgomery couldn't help but smile a little wryly. At that time, Jenn was running away with him, so he didn't see Vivien appear, but after that, Montgomery still heard the news about the Chaos Coast -- oh, wrong, it is no longer called the Chaos Inland Sea, because of the anger of a certain stinky lady, the Chaos Inland Sea has completely evaporated, and now it is only dry and barren.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to change the name to the Chaos Desert now.

Although Montgomery didn't know what was going on there, he was glad that Jenn had made the wise choice to turn around and run away without saying a word. Originally, he thought that it was a bit "too cautious" to leave without even fighting when he had such a powerful weapon as the Wizard Fortress, but later he found out that Montgomery had clearly made the right choice.

"You haven't been able to wipe out the undead legions, though. But their plans to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the South have been thwarted anyway. Not only that, but you've brought back so many people......... It retains vitality for other countries. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you........."

As he spoke. Nora smiled and looked at Montgomery, her old eyes mixed with curiosity.

"But...... I think there must have been another great hero. Where are the others? ”

"This ........."

Hearing the Sage of Light's inquiry, Montgomery couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then replied honestly.

"He said he wasn't used to the red tape, so he put us behind Lorenc and went back to Passus......... He also said......... It's better not to disturb him if it's okay in the future........."

Of course, this is a good thing Montgomery said. In fact, after receiving an order from the Templar Order, Jenn kicked Montgomery and his men off the ship without saying a word. Then he told Nora that "after this incident, I will settle up with the Templar Order, and don't think of sending me for free in the future" -- such a big rebellion, of course, Montgomery would not dare to tell Nora.

"Hehehe........."

Hearing Montgomery's relay, Nora didn't get angry, but shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"It's a shame. I'd like to see him, and it seems that our little friend doesn't seem to have a good impression of the Templar Order........."

That's of course, not bad, but not at all. It was the first time in all these years that Montgomery had seen a nobleman who did not take the Templar Order seriously. What made him even more depressed was that although the other party didn't take the Templar Order seriously, he did a lot of things that would benefit the Templar Order. It's like this time, if Jenn hadn't sent the Magic Fortress to send back the legions of those subject countries, not to mention anything else, these 500,000 people died in vain on the Chaos Coast. It would be enough to put the Templar on the cusp of the storm. Now that most of the soldiers had been brought back to the rear in peace, the powers and nations were thankful that the Templar had preserved their strength, rather than having a reason to attack the Templars. After all, these 500,000 people are all elite forces from all sides, and if they are lost, it will be a pain in their hearts. And now. Most of these forces were able to come back safe and sound, and for them it was stronger than anything else. Not only that, but the Templars also played their high spirits. The men were sent back first, and then evacuated. That's all. It has left all parties with nothing to say......... That's weird!!

Montgomery knew very well, although the lord had indeed sent the Wizard Fortress to transport the soldiers back. But not in vain! In fact, each regiment made an IOU with Jenn for a "transportation fee" before going back, paying Passus at the transportation price of ten gold coins for each junior soldier, fifty gold for each mid-ranking non-commissioned officer, one hundred gold for each senior non-commissioned officer, and five hundred gold for the commander............

Thinking of this, Montgomery couldn't help pinching the IOU in his pocket, the number with many zeros written on it really made Montgomery want to vomit blood, and he didn't know who to report the money to at this time.

And at this moment, Nora's voice rang in Montgomery's ears again.

"I know you must be tired to get back to the White City, Montgomery, but alas, we have an important matter that we need your help with."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

Hearing Nora's words, Montgomery's face suddenly turned grim, and then he bowed his head respectfully, of course he knew that the most powerful sage on the Crane Continent was not just looking for him to drink tea and chat. And when he heard Nora speak at this moment, he immediately focused his attention and began to listen to Nora's words.

"I think you also know that the Klein Continent has been getting more and more peaceful recently. The power of darkness is growing, and all we can do is survive under this power........."

Nora sighed. And Montgomery was also ugly, of course he understood what Nora meant, in fact, the battle on the Chaos Coast made Montgomery have the same idea. Especially the final outburst made Montgomery deeply feel how powerless they were. Without Jenn's help, then even if the small universe erupted and completely wiped out those undead creatures, they would only have a dead end when facing the sea monsters. And the forces of evil are so strong, but why are the forces of light and justice so weak? Thinking of this, Montgomery felt discouraged again, not for the current situation, but for the future of the Klein Continent. Plague, black dragon, undead. These are not easy targets to provoke, but now they are all appearing on the Klein continent. In the face of these terrifying forces, the Templar Order is overstretched, and simply does not have the strength to resist the immediate threat. They can only watch them gradually spread, and now that they are like this, how can they maintain the righteousness and goodness in their hearts?

This is also a test for us, everything has its ups and downs, even good and righteous, it will also encounter the invasion of darkness and the cover of evil. At such a time, we must stick to our hearts, which is why perseverance is so valuable. ”

Looking at Montgomery's expression, Nora certainly knew what he was thinking, and said with a slight smile. Hearing this, Montgomery shuddered, and then his originally confused eyes returned to a clear and transparent light again. He gave Nora a deep look, then lowered his head.

"Yes, Sage, I will take your teachings to heart!"

"Well, you don't need to worry so much, the darkness is powerful, but the great gods have long met the arrival of this day, and for this, they have left us the seeds of light........."

"You mean ...............?"

Hearing this, Montgomery suddenly looked at Nora with a delighted look. Seeing his expression, Nora nodded. He then raised his right hand to signal Montgomery to come to his side, then reached out and pressed his forehead. The next moment, a warm glow emerged from Nora's palm, enveloping Montgomery's head. Immediately afterward, Montgomery found that a series of information had quietly appeared in his mind. Then, Nora's voice rang in his ears again.

"That's right, I've received an oracle from Sinapus, and the Son of the Nine Saints has descended into this world years ago. It's just that due to the fear of the threat of the dark forces, their power is not released, but sealed in their respective bodies. And now, in the face of this dark and lightless world, it is time to wake them up. Your next task is to lead a team of shrewd and reliable people to follow the guidance of the oracle to find these nine Sons, and then bring them to the Holy White City, and when their seals are lifted, we will have enough power to face the evil attack! ”

It was only by this time that the light faded and Nora withdrew her hand. The uneasiness on Montgomery's face had vanished completely, replaced by a radiance of hope.

"You understand that this is a very important task that only you can do. That's why I'm leaving this matter to you. ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll go now!!"

Montgomery's face turned red with excitement when he heard Nora's words, and he had been worrying about how to resist the forces of evil. And now that he knew that there was such a good thing, he was naturally excited, and even the dark clouds that hung over Montgomery's heart dissipated. If those nine holy sons really possess great power, then those dark and evil beings will inevitably die out completely!

"Hehe, wait, don't be in such a hurry, there's one more thing."

"What's the matter? Sage? ”

Montgomery, who had planned to turn around and leave immediately, heard this and turned his head to look at Nora in confusion. Facing Montgomery's gaze, Nora smiled and stretched out her right hand.

"Give me the IOU in your pocket, anyway, that kid has also helped our Templar Order, and I'll be responsible for making up for it." (To be continued.) )
