The celebration is taking place inside and outside the castle. After the morning ceremony, there will be grand float parades and various traditional celebrations on the square. Almost everyone in the city has the opportunity to relax on this day, and the newly designed ceremony will undoubtedly push people's enthusiasm for celebration to the top.

But before the dinner begins, the new head of the empire does not have to attend the next event.

Gao Wen sat quietly in the room. He did not open the curtains or turn on the lights, allowing a dim and quiet environment to slowly surround himself. Celebration inside and outside the castle faintly came into his ears, mixed with music, laughter, dance steps and the sound of magic fireworks bursting. These sounds were far away and ethereal, so that their appearance further highlighted the tranquility in the room.

Through observation and inquiry of Melita Pernia, he can finally confirm that the black trap is indeed related to the gods, and some of the measures in the plan are indeed effective in avoiding the black trap.

Of course, Gao Wen had already made speculation before this, but until today, speculation was verified.

In the dim and quiet room, he bent his fingers and tapped the table rhythmically.

"The dragon clan is still trapped in the black trap... It's not that they didn't encounter the black trap, but were 'stuck' in this state after encountering the black trap..." He had various thoughts in his mind, "They also tried 'disobedience' and then failed? Was it discovered by God, or...

"It's a pity that there is no way to ask. Judging from Melita's status, no dragon that knows about this question may not be able to answer this question... What exactly did Melita change when she tried to say information about the black trap and the gods?

"Is it the interference of the gods? Or... a realistic spiritual seal? If you fail to try to break through the black trap, will the spiritual seal become a powerful force that can be realistic?

"If this is true, then you must be more cautious every step of the plan... Even the dragon cannot break free from its constraints. Once humans fall into the state of steel seal, they will definitely be doomed."

The unconscious knocking action stopped. Gao Wen turned his head slightly and looked at the open space next to him: "I'm almost finished eating melon seeds? Drink some water and stop eating. There will be a banquet tonight."

Amber's figure emerged from the air, holding the last few melon seeds in her hand, and the bottom of her feet was covered with melon seed skin. She opened her eyes wide and looked dissatisfied: "You can't pretend you didn't find me occasionally? I am a stalker and have professional dignity!"

"You are a guard, and you knocked two kilograms of melon seeds in the room of the head of the empire in an hour. Do you tell me you have professional dignity?" Gao Wen glared at the other party, "Carry it yourself. On the first day of my crown, I can't leave a strange record in the palace files such as 'the head of the empire returned to the room for unknown reasons after returning to the room for unknown reasons'."

Amber threw away the last bit of melon seed skin, clapped her hands, and then gathered the melon seed skins on the ground with her toes, while muttering in a low voice: "I regret not listening to you to see what you wrote...What did you give to that agent?"

“…it’s just some knowledge left to future generations.”

Amber looked at Gao Wen calmly: "But why do you talk about overthrowing the empire? Even... talking about overthrowing you or something..."

Gao Wen thought, and Youyou sighed: "Yes... I didn't expect I would do these things."

Why did he reach today and how to continue tomorrow? Gao Wen has always been very clear about this, but in this clear path, not everything has developed as he expected.

At the beginning, his goal was very simple. He just wanted to live. After experiencing tens of millions of years of loneliness, he was finally able to stand on the earth in the form of a human again. What a surprise for him at that time. He wanted to live and live in the form of a human - but it was not as easy as he imagined to survive in this world.

In order to leave the ruins of old Cecil alive, he had to take a few picks of offspring and entourage to fight for a bloody path; in order to find a place to stand in this era, he had to open up a land with the refugees as Gauvin Cecil; in order to deal with the tide of magic that came at some time, and in order to deal with the threat from neighboring countries, he had to develop his own power...

This is a road that cannot be stopped, and Gao Wen himself did not want it to stop.

After all, he is not a sedate person at heart. He is not willing to live a life of slack so much that he is not willing to live alone.

But as he lived in this world and contacted those flesh and blood, he found that he was increasingly unable to get rid of the impact of this "re-live once".

Responsibility is an innate thing. When he chose to take over the legacy of Gowan Cecil, he was destined to bear the responsibility to accompany him. When he personally promoted the fate of many people, this responsibility itself is his own.

He didn't know when his mentality changed gradually, but he knew that after he had done so many things along the way, his mentality would inevitably undergo corresponding changes - without changes, it would make him doubt whether he had been completely transformed by the "satellite", and suspected that he looked like a flesh-and-blooded person on the surface, but a bloodless machine inside.

After conquering the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain and entering the Silver Fort, after having a long conversation with Wales Moen and looking back at the path he had walked along, Gao Wen realized that his goal was no longer as simple as "living".

He wanted to live, and there were countless people who were relying on him, and even at this stage, the order of the entire magic industry society was based on him - this was also true. He could reach this position and rely on these countless people and things.

This is a huge symbiotic relationship, at least at this stage.

Therefore, Gao Wen wanted to do a big vote, but it was not in vain to live a life, and it was worthy of his efforts so far.

As for what other factors are driving Gao Wen to continue on this road... that even he himself can't understand.

He shook his head and smiled at Amber: "It's probably because I have too great ambitions and what I pursue is too shocking."

"...I don't understand what you are thinking, but since it's what you do, it must make sense," Amber grabbed her hair and quickly threw some things she couldn't figure out behind her head. "Anyway, I'm watching from the side, I can always see what you want to do."

Gao Wen glanced at the half-elf: "You are very broad-minded."

Amber stood up with honor instead of being ashamed: "This is my greatest advantage."

Gao Wen shook his head with a smile, and then said half-jokingly: "Don't talk about this anymore. Last time you said you would pray to your god, ask the truth, and what did you ask?"

He asked casually, and did not expect Amber to give any answer. After all, it is not easy to contact God. Even if this guy is really a God's choice, it would take a long time to prepare and have enough luck to listen to the oracle directly - at least other churches are like this.

But he didn't expect Amber to nod immediately: "I asked when I went back! But I didn't ask the answer."

"You really asked?" Gao Wen stared at his eyes and stood up subconsciously, "No answer was found? Didn't the Shadow Goddess answer?"

"It didn't connect. The oracle said, 'The goddess is not on duty, please contact me later'," Amber said seriously. "In my experience, this 'later' will take at least a month..."

Gao Wen looked at the half-elves with a confused look, but he didn't see any joking intentions in the other person's face.

But the key is... what kind of "oracle" is this? Are the oracles that the Shadow Cult usually hears in this format? Is this unlikely?

"You... is this oracle considered normal?" Gao Wen felt the corners of his mouth tremble a little, but at least his tone was calm.

Amber thought about it and nodded: "It's actually quite common. Although I have a good relationship with the goddess, it doesn't seem that the goddess has time to respond to me. In most cases, this kind of response is the same."

Gao Wen frowned slightly.

Let’s not discuss whether Amber is talking nonsense, just assume that what she said is true. Does this mean... Shadow Goddess wants to respond to this world, even if it is responding to her "god choice", it is a very difficult thing?

With various speculations in his mind, Gao Wen asked again: "Is there anything else besides this 'oracle'?"

Amber replied calmly: "Oh, yes, the goddess left me a recipe in advance, so that I could study it after I went back..."

Gao Wen: "...Is there anything else?"

"It's gone."

Gao Wen rubbed his forehead and felt an unprecedented headache. He looked at the half-elves with a calm attitude and a very natural tone, but he still couldn't help but question his doubts: "Are you really the Shadow God? Are you sure the oracle you mentioned is not an hallucination caused by taking too much Shadow Potion?"

Amber immediately glared at Gao Wen with an expression of "If I hadn't beat you, I would have died with you today": "You can question my strength, you can't question my beliefs! I've told you so many times..."

"I'm mainly curious," Gao Wen interrupted before the other party finished speaking, "This way, as a god, you must at least have some extraordinary qualities. Even if you use a magical magic in the shadow realm or show a miracle, can you?"

"I can jump into the Shadow Realm with a backflip. What kind of shadow realm miracle do you want?" Amber inserted his waist and leaned forward with his upper body, as if he wanted to show a little aggressive momentum, but this caused her to have to tilt her neck at least ninety degrees before she could see Gao Wen's face, so that her overall posture was particularly funny. "Can you want me to run into the Shadow Realm and drag a Shadow Realm out now, and perform in front of you and be beaten by the Shadow Realm?"

"That's true, your shadow talent is a miracle in itself..." Gao Wen waved his hand, then looked confused, "But why do you have to be beaten up when performing?"

Amber inserted his waist and said, "No, nonsense! I can't beat it!"

"you……"

Gao Wen looked at the half-elves with his eyebrows slightly twitching. After a few seconds of speechlessness, he finally couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, the threats of the black trap and the gods, the heavy responsibility of governing an empire, the risks of the future and the difficulties of the current road, all the pressures brought by all these seem to have disappeared.

He smiled uncontrollably, laughing for half a minute before taking a deep breath to calm down, but there was still a smile on his eyes: "Okay, that's the question for now, and we won't discuss it until you can contact your goddess."

Amber frowned: "Although that's what I said, I always feel that you were laughing at me just now..."

"No, I just suddenly got better." Gao Wen shook his head with a smile, then came to the window, waved his hand, and retreated to both sides.

Outside the window, the bright sunshine shines on Saint Sunil, celebrations are being held in the square outside the castle, and bonfires and magical performances are also being prepared for evening bonfires and magical performances. The ancient city is full of vitality on this day and the flags are flying.

No matter what the future holds, today is a wonderful day.

"Go to the courtyard to get some air."
