Federation of Storms, February 1st, 52nd year of the New Calendar.

After many years, Zhou Yan returned to the old capital of the Storm Federation, ‘East Valley City’.

As the first above-ground city of the Storm Federation and the former capital of the Storm Federation, East Valley City was once the political, economic and cultural center.

but now.

With the development and expansion of the Federation, the geographical location of Donggu City gradually revealed its disadvantages. After several years of debate, discussion, and research, more than 20 years ago, Donggu City was no longer the capital of the Federation of Storms, and was replaced by

The second city 'Dawn City' built by the Federation seventy-two years ago.

Dawn City is located in the west of Storm Ruins. For more than seventy years, it and East Valley City have controlled the entire Storm Ruins area from east to west, and successively built seven other cities. Eventually, they cleared and completely controlled Storm Ruins, and

In this process, the Federation of Storms was established with the city as the core, and all cities were governed together. It has been fifty-two years now.

East Valley City was the first city to develop in the Storm Federation, but with the capture of the Storm Ruins, the development center of the entire Federation began to move to the west. The Federation focused all its energy on developing further west and leaving the Storm Ruins in order to obtain

Wider living space.

As a result, Donggu City gradually became marginalized and inevitably became lonely.

Zhou Yan left Donggu City forty years ago. He rarely traveled far away. This time when he came back, things had changed. When he came to Donggu City, he could see more clearly the signs of Donggu City's imminent decline.

There are fewer young people here and more elderly people, which makes them look a bit sluggish.

Zhou Yan walked on the street just like other old people.

When he first came to Leilin's world, this corpse was sixteen years old. That year was the year 134 of the Eastern Valley Calendar, which was also February 1st.

And now, it is already February of the 52nd year of the New Calendar. If we switch to the old calendar, it is already the 243rd year of the Donggu Calendar.

Zhou Yan has been here for 109 years and is now 125 years old.

He is already looking old.

But he has healing skills, rarely goes out, has never fought a deadly battle with demons, and has no hidden injuries, so he has been free from illness and disaster throughout his life.

But even so, he is still just a high-level magician after all. He has not yet reached the level of a magister who can break the limits of life, and he will never reach such a level in this life.

The deadline is approaching!

So Zhou Yan returned to Donggu City and revisited his old place.

Donggu City carries his decades of memories, and there are stories everywhere. He even watched many places being built brick by brick with his own eyes.

"At the beginning, there was only one city in the Federation, built underground. When someone proposed to build the city above ground, many people opposed it. After six or seven years of intense discussion, the then Government Affairs Department finally decided to build this city.

Gucheng. And it only took less than a year from planning to official completion."

Zhou Yan was walking in the city, and many memories gradually came to his mind. He pointed at a section of the inner city wall of Donggu City, smiled at a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes next to him and said: "Back then, your father couldn't rest, and he didn't go out to hunt monsters."

At that time, after practicing every day, he brought members of the Ascetic Order here to help. The main construction was this section of the city wall. I heard from him that there were several stones in which he had engraved the names of himself and all the hardships he had suffered at that time.

The names of the members of the Order, but no one knows them except him and me."

The middle-aged man’s name is ‘Flan Lun’, and his father is Jonathan, the current military commander of the Storm Federation, the high priest of the War Temple, and the vice-president of the Trappist Order.

More than a hundred years have passed.

Zhou Yan was unable to break through to the level of a magister throughout his life because of Leylin's affinity for magic and the limitations of his healing skills.

But Jonathan's qualifications were not bad, he was already hard-working, and with the support of the Ascetic Order and abundant resources, he made rapid progress and was promoted to a high-level berserker early. At the age of seventy, he successfully broke through and became an earth-level berserker.

Possessing combat power comparable to that of a magister, he became one of the few guardians of humanity at that time.

Over the years, we have made continuous progress. Not only has our strength increased and become stronger, but our status in the federation has also become higher and higher. Now we are the military chief in charge of federal military affairs. He has a very high status and is responsible for all internal and external wars in the federation. He is also the Grand Master of the Temple of War.

Priests also enjoy the highest reputation among the berserker group.

As Jonathan's eldest son, Franlon is equally outstanding.

Just last year, when Franlon was fifty-seven years old, he broke through to the earth level thirteen years earlier than his father Jonathan, became the guardian of the Storm Federation, and officially joined the top ranks of the federation.

But Flanlon's reputation in the Federation of Storms is no less than that of his father Jonathan. When he was fifty years old, he obtained and brought back a set of light magic seals from an ancient ruins outside the ruins of the Storm, completing the magic

The inheritance of the light magic system in the temple has made the status of light magic suddenly surpass the three main magic systems of 'lightning', 'fire', and 'freeze' and become the most mainstream magic in the Federation of Storms.

In recent years, more and more pure light magic has begun to emerge.

For this reason, Flan Lun is called by many magicians as 'the magician's best friend', 'the reviver of light magic', 'the morning star of the light magician', etc., among the magicians group, and even larger groups

gained great prestige,

In addition, he recently broke through and became an earth-level berserker.

Originally, he was only expected to succeed his father Jonathan. He has made certain achievements in the military system, and it is still unknown whether he can become the military commander. But now, the next military commander has almost been booked by Flanlon.

Now the future military commander was following Zhou Yan, respectfully listening to the old man's teachings.

Falan Lun looked at this city wall, his eyes seemed to travel through time and space, and he saw the scenes of his fathers and seniors of the Trappist Order sweating profusely here, full of fighting spirit, and fighting for the rise of mankind.

It seems that he also saw his father quietly carrying other people on his back, carving names one by one on the stones that will be built into the city wall——

Leylin.

Jonathan.

Oliver.

Clyde.

Hathaway.

White.

Sean.

Derek.

…

Many of the predecessors of the Trappist Order, many of the first and second generations, have passed away.

Zhou Yan looked at Donggu City, and then looked at the original shelter, and went to the underground city not far away. There are no longer people living here, and it has become a tourist area and a reserve, only for the children and descendants of the Federation.

Let's come and pay our respects.

Zhou Yan and Flan Lun walked into the underground city and walked to the courtyard that Flan Lun's uncle Dalton had lent to Jonathan and the Trappist Order.

It is now a federally protected area.

"Back then, I was still working in the magic church, and your father was serving in the city guard and responsible for the security of the first district. On the way to get off work, we discussed establishing an ascetic order."

"A month later, here, the Trappist Order has a total of eight members."

"Me, your father, Oliver, Clyde, Hathaway, White, Sean, Derek."

"Eight people, the other six all passed away. Some died very early and died fighting demons, and some died without illness."

"Now, of the original eight people, only me and your father are left. After a while, your father will be the only one left."

Zhou Yan looked at this old place and thought of the founding of the Ascetic Society and the first time he started raising funds here.

This is where his career started.

At the beginning, he relied on his extraordinary understanding of healing techniques, his super fast progress, and the scarcity of healing magic in the East Valley Refuge at that time. He obtained the first pot of gold here, and the second pot of gold, and he became prosperous from then on.

Time flies.

To this day, the magic of life is still declining, and is becoming increasingly declining. More than ten years ago, the Temple of Nature regained the two magical arts of "Regeneration" and "Super Regeneration" with healing properties, which to a great extent replaced the "Healing Arts"

'The presence.

Even if today's magicians have poor initial qualifications, they rarely take the "healing" elective. Healing, which was once the most popular among side magics, has become the last choice.

time flies.

Zhou Yan's era has passed, and this life is coming to an end in the blink of an eye.

After listening to Zhou Yan's words, Falan Lun looked at the old man and felt a little uncomfortable.

From the time he was born, to the years he grew up, this person has been the president and the only helmsman of the Trappist Order. There were also controversies during this period, and some people questioned that as the president of the Trappist Order, Lei Lin

He has never fought against a demon in his life and has always been hiding in the city. He is a coward.

This voice is also expanding as the Trappist Order continues to grow.

However, with the support of Jonathan, Pamela and other senior leaders of the Trappist Order, Zhou Yan always remained firmly in the position of president of the Trappist Tradition Society. Even though he rarely took care of practical matters later, he was still the president.

During this period, there were differences and splits in the Trappist Order.

For example, the current large-scale Youth Association, Demon Hunter Association, Progressive Association, Mutual Aid Association, Alliance Association and other organizations were all formerly ascetic societies. They were expelled from the Ascetic Orders during repeated party purges and were founded by some progressive people who left.

Some of them were established and developed, but most of them disappeared into the dust of history.

now.

Zhou Yan, who personally founded the Trappist Order, the largest political organization in the Federation of Storms, finally reached the end of his life.

Zhou Yan went back to the beginning, to his residence in the underground city 109 years ago.

It has been preserved and taken care of extremely well.

Zhou Yan returned here and took out the eight-sided Rubik's Cube from his sleeve.
