Catalog of the Lost - a searing epic

The whole of the Black Flag, the Imperial Kingdom of the Age of Law, the information contained in these two events has overwhelmed Emer, and everything negates his previous perceptions, whether it is the prestige that the Imperial Kingdom has always enjoyed, or the absurdity of the world that has never been told.

Emer couldn't be sure of the truth of what Jack said, but he couldn't deny that everything that turned out to be in the context of the environment made sense in this story, and he couldn't help but doubt everything he knew.

Perhaps the venerable King of Faro would really sit idly by and ignore the corruption of the nobles?

Are the people who surround him in Moreliano the same people as the lords?

Is Twei what he always believed?

"How is this possible?" Emel clutched his head, forcefully soothing the sharp pain in his mind.

Emel couldn't accept it for a moment, even if Jack's story was the most plausible explanation for the situation, Jack thought he just needed time to get used to it, so he waited in silence for him to clear his mind.

"It's not something that is impossible, most of what he said is true", Yoni's voice came from outside the door, he never left, but stood outside the door and listened to the conversation between the two, this story seemed to evoke his memories, and his arrogant and rude tone at this time was also full of loneliness," But one thing is not true, the barbarians in the northern part of the kingdom have never rebelled, and that is the lie that the king of Faro, in order to cover up the mistake of the slaughter of the city of Corsobia, wants to purge the barbarians who began to question him, even though the barbarians raised him and the leader of the barbarians is his sworn brother. "

"Swearing... Brother", Yoni told a message that even the Black Flag Intelligence Network didn't know, much to Jack's shock, and he asked, "Who the hell are you and why do you know this inside story?".

Yoni wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to explain it when he first opened his mouth, so he just said vaguely: "A barbarian, that's it." "

At this time, Emer was still in chaos, the only thing he hadn't thought clearly was the black flag, in his opinion, whether it was a steel nail or a black flag, they were nothing more than the victims of the leader of the black flag, the nameless people never cared about their lives, fiddling with them like pawns on a chessboard, they shouldn't be unaware of this, Jack should be the one who knows this best.

Emel told him his doubts, and Jack told him what had happened after he arrived at the Nu Portal.

"It wasn't until five years ago that an assassin codenamed Shadow, recognized by the 'Directory', won a bloody battle, killing all Nameless and destroying Black Flag once and for all. "

It all starts with the revelation of Jack's identity, and the three Black Flag killers hired by Zway tell Nameless about it, and the Nameless people of the Black Flag realize Jack's value and order him to return to the organization as soon as possible, but when the news reaches Jack's ears, he has been living in Numen Hall for a month.

Numen Hall is the best place Jack has ever visited, it is no longer as chaotic and disorderly as the Lightless Age, and all this is thanks to the lord system of King Faro and Tsway, who served as the lord of Numen Hall, who made him an economically backward, but stable and peaceful town.

Numen Hall is not an ideal township, but he is infinitely close to an ideal township.

In order to stay in this place, Jack once knelt in front of Zway, leaving all his dignity and begging him, but was rejected by Zway, and at that time Zwei made it clear that Jack would not stay here for long, and Black Flag would order him to go back immediately.

For the Black Flag organization, in a certain respect, Zwei is more familiar than Jack, because under the triple pressure of hunting, bloody wars and wanted in the age of the Law, even if the five Black Flag organizations are together, they can only wander on the verge of collapse, and the survival of this organization is a group of purposeful nobles, who have privately found Nameless, and out of their own interests, they have signed a long-term contract with Black Flag, because of their supply, Black Flag can survive.

Zwei was one of the nobles who supplied the Black Flag for their own benefit.

Therefore, he didn't want to fall out with Black Flag because of Jack's affairs, for him, even if Jack was better than the other Black Flags, he had to deal with the entire organization when he fell out with Black Flag, and he didn't believe that Jack would really be loyal to the Nu Gate Hall at the time.

Even though Tsway decisively refuses Jack on the surface, he allows Jack to recuperate in Numen Hall until Black Flag's order is issued, provided that he works to prove that he will bring value to the town.

In order to prove himself, Jack even forgot to eat, drink, and sleep, and would go wherever he needed help in town, hoping that Twey would allow him to stay here.

Zwei's dedication to Jack's sacrifice finally relented, he was a soft-hearted person himself, but Jack's matter was not something that could be solved by soft-heartedness, so he found Jack privately and said, "Why are you bothering, what is there in this little ruined city that is worth your doing?".

"Because this place is like, like an ideal town. "

"Ideal Township?" Zwei laughed, as if mocking his actions, which made Jack angry, and Tswyway quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I just said to you... Ideal Township, the word is too... It's illusory, it has to do with my beliefs, I understand the word to mean a beautiful place in this world, I just think it's funny that there are still people who believe in it. "

"It's not funny!" muttered Jack angrily.

Zway finally realized that his words had tarnished Jack's faith, so he apologized quietly, and then explained: "I have a different belief from you, there is no such thing as the ideal country, there is no such thing as the ideal country, I believe in the god of Dawn, the god of dawn will not create the ideal country, but create a real ideal country, the ideal country can only accommodate a small number of people, and the ideal country can accommodate everyone." "

"Ideal Country", Jack was full of curiosity about the words he heard for the first time, and asked urgently, "Is there really such a place, can the Dawning God really create such a place?"

Zway didn't want to pour cold water on Jack, he pondered for a few seconds, and then replied: "The God of Dawn cannot create an ideal kingdom in this world, he is not an omnipotent god, but more like a magical person, he will let all those who understand the value of life before death, and the souls of those who die enter a paradise-like kingdom, which is different from heaven, but another reality." "

"Life... Value, my life is estimated to have no value, but you have...", Zwei was stunned, he did not expect to hear such praise from the mouth of this man who had not met a few times, he asked why, and the answer he received surprised him even more, "Because you have created such a beautiful town. "

Although the economy is underdeveloped and the roads are not circulating, Numen Hall is indeed a beautiful town.

In this small town of nearly 2,000 people, each family can own a house of their own, nearly half of the land in the town has been cultivated for farmland, a small river runs through the middle of the town, enough to nourish the fields and solve the problem of drinking water, and the proximity to the sea makes famine rare.

In Numen Hall, there were even churches that were not available in other towns, and at that time, when all the religions of the past had become stories in the bards, Numen Hall somehow introduced new religions that believed in the Dawn God and were committed to understanding the value of life so that they could return to their ideal kingdom after death.

Zway was ashamed of Jack's compliment, and even though he was thrilled to be recognized, he couldn't leave Jack in the foyer, he could only apologize to him.

Jack still couldn't understand it, and he was tormented by it, but suddenly, he understood why.

"I'm here, and if I'm in Ideal Township, I'm going to ruin this place, right?"

Zway didn't answer him directly, but the look on his face gave him the answer, and Jack said no more, and a month later, the message of Black Flag arrived.

Before leaving, Zwei assured him, "I'll find a way to entrust you to be my bodyguard, you're strong, aren't you?".

Jack smiled relieved at this ridiculous parting attitude.

He thought this was the last goodbye, so he looked nostalgically at the Nu Gate Hall, which belonged to the ideal hometown in his heart.

But even he didn't expect that he would return safely to Numen Hall in a way that was approved by the 'catalog'.
