"My head hurts …."
Fangzheng opened his eyes and stared blankly at the starry sky in front of him.
What … .is this place?
He turned his head and looked to both sides, but all he saw were broken wooden boards. He could even hear the squeaking of wheels and the hurried sound of hooves.
"Ugh …."
The stinging pain in his head made Fangzheng groan. He closed his eyes and began to carefully recall everything that happened before. If Fangzheng remembered correctly, he was still out on a mission, and then ….
"Young Master! Are you awake, Young Master? "
While Fangzheng was deep in thought, an old man suddenly appeared beside him. It was an old man with white hair and a beard. He wore a tattered leather armour and carried a long sword on his back. This get-up was so odd that it left Fangzheng somewhat dumbfounded. But what was even more strange was that the old man spoke in a language that he had never heard before, but for some reason, Fangzheng felt like he could completely understand what the old man was saying.
But even so, the doubts in Fangzheng's heart were still not eliminated.
Who is he? Why is he calling me Young Master? Who … .am I?
"Ugh … .Ah!!"
Just as Fangzheng was about to recall carefully, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain. Fangzheng could not help but hold his head with both hands and cry out in pain. Seeing Fangzheng in this state, the old man panicked even more. He hurried to Fangzheng and pressed hard on his shoulder.
"Young Master, are you okay?! Don't scare me! "
"I … .I …."
Hearing the old man's anxious shouts, Fangzheng could not say anything. He had a splitting headache, and the scene in front of him began to distort. But soon, Fangzheng saw a blue glow unfold in front of him, forming a very familiar and unique interface. Then, a soft voice rang in his ear.
"Interface activation complete … … System startup … … Soul wavelength detected … … Beginning authentication … …"
"Ugh … Ah …"
At this moment, Fangzheng not only felt a headache, but even his body felt as if he had been placed in a slaughterhouse and was having his tendons pulled out and his skin peeled off. His blood was flowing in reverse, and his breathing became rapid. His heart was beating so violently that it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat. The only thing Fangzheng could do at this moment was to instinctively clench his fists and grit his teeth, enduring everything that had suddenly befallen him.
"Master Carter! Those people are catching up! "
"Damn it! Hurry up and take the young master away, we'll stay …! "
"Be careful —!!"
"Boom!!"
Fangzheng could vaguely hear the noise and screams outside, but before he could react, he suddenly heard a violent explosion. In the next moment, Fangzheng felt himself losing his balance. He was thrown out of the carriage like a ball and fell heavily to the ground.
"Pfft!!"
Fangzheng felt his back hit the ground hard. The violent impact even slightly dispelled the pain that was enough to burn his body. And it was precisely because of this that he barely regained control of his body. Fangzheng turned his head and looked around.
At this moment, all he could see was a wilderness shrouded in darkness. Beside him, a carriage was burning in flames, and the horse responsible for pulling the carriage had also been burnt to a crisp. Not far away, Fangzheng could vaguely see a few figures fighting. They looked like a group of servants, and their enemies were wearing silver-white armour like knights in games.
What the hell is this place?
Although the warriors seemed to be working hard, even Fangzheng could see that they were no match for the enemies. In just a few rounds, the warriors were mercilessly beheaded by the knights in silver-white armour and turned into corpses.
"Young Master! Go! Get out of here!! "
At this moment, only the old man was still waving his sword and struggling to hold on. At the same time, he shouted at Fangzheng.
Escape!
Up until now, Fangzheng didn't know what he had encountered, but he knew very well that it was best for him to leave this place now!
But … his body couldn't move as Fangzheng wished. For some reason, he only felt that his muscles were extremely sore and he didn't have a trace of strength left in his body. Just supporting his body was already exhausting. Even standing up had become an extravagant hope.

The voice in his ear was neither fast nor slow. Along with this voice, Fangzheng saw a strange and complicated circle appear in the middle of the strange interface in front of him. It looked like a magic circle, but according to Fangzheng's experience, this interface seemed unusually familiar …
"Ah —!!"
Hearing the scream, Fangzheng raised his head blankly. He saw that the old man's chest had been pierced by a knight in silver armour. The old man turned to look at him in despair and stretched out his hand.
"Young —!"
But before the old man could finish his words, a silver light flashed. The next moment, Fangzheng watched as the old man's head fell to the ground, followed by his body. Then, the knights turned around and walked towards him.
I'll die!
Although the knights were wearing helmets and Fangzheng couldn't see their faces at all, Fangzheng could feel the cold killing intent surrounding them. Just feeling the gaze of these knights made Fangzheng feel as if his neck was about to be cut off. But … he couldn't resist at all.
Is this the only way?
Looking at the strange magic circle in front of him, Fangzheng gritted his teeth. He stretched out his hand, trying to click on the strange circle.
Thud!!
But before Fangzheng could raise his hand, an iron boot stepped heavily on Fangzheng's hand.
"Ugh —!!"
Feeling the excruciating pain from his palm, Fangzheng let out a muffled groan. But before he could react, another knight grabbed his hair and lifted his head.
"Is that him?"
The knight's voice was cold and indifferent, like a completely emotionless machine. Hearing the knight's question, a figure in a black robe standing not far behind the knight nodded slightly.
"That's him. The secret treasure must be with him."
"Very well."
After getting the answer from the black robe, the leading knight nodded, then suddenly swung his sword and placed it in front of Fangzheng's neck.
"Hand over the secret treasure, and I'll give you a quick death."
Secret treasure? What secret treasure?
Feeling the cold touch of the sword on his neck, Fangzheng stared blankly at the knight in front of him. His mind was in a mess. He had no idea what was going on, nor did he know what kind of situation he was in. The only thing he knew was that he was being chased by this group of people, and the reason they were chasing him was to find some secret treasure … But, what secret treasure was it?
How would I know?
I can only fight!
With this thought in mind, Fangzheng gritted his teeth. He lowered his head and stared at his right hand that was stepped on by the knight. Sensing Fangzheng's gaze, the knight also looked at his feet, then instinctively took a step back.
Now's the time!
The moment he felt the knight step back, Fangzheng immediately retracted his right hand and quickly tapped on the circle in front of him. Soon, following his movements, the circle began to spin rapidly, and the light gradually gathered in front of Fang Zheng. It emerged and turned into a huge, heavy, and dazzling Holy Bible.
"What's this?"
At this moment, the knights also saw the holy book that appeared in front of Fangzheng. They stepped back in surprise, holding their swords in their hands, not knowing what to do. On the contrary, Black Robe was very excited. He jumped up almost immediately and shouted loudly.
"This must be a secret treasure! Don't let him activate the secret treasure, kill him! "
Hearing Black Robe's order, the leading knight immediately raised his sword and swung it down at Fangzheng.
At the same time, as if he was being summoned, Fangzheng also stretched out his hand and pressed it on the book.
Then, the world in front of him shattered like glass in an instant.
"Child, when you were born, the forest of Lordaeron whispered your name …"
An old voice echoed in Fangzheng's mind. What appeared before his eyes were towering mountains and lofty ridges, rich and beautiful cities, towns, and wilderness ….
"Child, I proudly watched you grow up day by day and become the embodiment of justice …"
The burning flames engulfed the entire city, and all that was once filled with cheers and laughter was now nothing but ruins and ruins. The incessant blazing scarlet was like fresh blood that illuminated the entire world, bringing about endless destruction and hatred.
"You must remember, we have always ruled this country with wisdom and strength...."
The dancing petals in the sky turned into cold snowflakes, and the former followers fell one by one. In the dark, gloomy cave, a long sword shining with a blue light was quietly inserted into the ground, waiting for its wielder to descend.
"I also believe that you will use your great power carefully …"
The howling blizzard shrouded everything. The trees withered, and the earth was covered with ice. The living stayed away from everything. Only the undead moaned in pain as they walked out of the flames and darkness. They became an army, a terrifying force that could make all things tremble in fear before the shadow of death. They roared forward, tearing apart all obstacles in front of them, bringing only blood and death.
Fangzheng opened his eyes again.
The illusion from before had disappeared. In front of him, the sharp blade of the knight was slashing at him. He could even see his own reflection on the silver blade.
But the voice still echoed in his mind.
"One day, my life will come to an end, and you will be crowned king."
