The Lich of Glory Knight Spirit: Moving towards Krimasha!-Chapter 222 - 30: The End and The Beginning_2

"It’s over, I won," Gray whispered.

Shelley kept shaking her head, gently caressing Gray’s cheeks, tears streaming down her face.

The jubilant crowd lifted the couple together high up and tossed them into the sky.

Abod, with his arms full of golden blood, slowly walked to Catherine’s side, standing shoulder to shoulder with her, watching from afar.

"Didn’t you say duty is above all?" Catherine smiled as she asked.

"I’ve changed, but maybe this is the real me. *I can’t betray my true self,*" Abod replied softly.

Sarina flew in from afar with Richie, placing him on the roof.

Looking at the densely packed undead around him, and the liches still provoking the Angel Army, Richie was equally stunned. The scene before him was beyond his limited understanding.

There were humans arm-in-arm with the Undead Knights.

Humans were patting the heads of Skeleton Soldiers.

Humans sniffed the flesh of stitched monsters, showing a disgusted expression: "So smelly, but when I don’t bathe, I’m even worse. Maybe I can sprinkle some perfume on you."

He laughed first, and the stitched monster followed with a laugh.

The ground was covered with vile creatures, yet humans coexisted peacefully with them. One could even describe it as harmonious.

Someone even started consulting: "Hey, Mr. Lich, hello. I was wondering how I can join the Silver Moon Knight Order? I mean, after I die, what should I do to join? I’m very interested in following you in this great endeavor!"

*Human prejudice is a mountain, impossible to move no matter how hard you try. Human prejudice can also be a feather. Once you’ve figured it out and let go, it might disappear in an instant.*

"Life and death" were finally united at this moment.

The whole world seemed to change because of him.

Amidst the celebration, a voice echoed in Gray’s mind: "Hello, Sir Lich Knight. I am... representing the Holy Spirit. Yes, the one who ordered the crusade against you. Congratulations on your final victory, in a way we never imagined. Though we don’t want to admit it, you did win. We have no intention of immediately taking any counteractions, but we want our besieged Angel Army back. To ensure this matter ends in a mutually acceptable way, and to avoid further escalation of warfare, perhaps, we should talk."

"Alright," Gray replied softly.

...

In the Fourth Epoch of Elf History Year 11271, Holy Calendar Year 10758 August, marked by the "Battle of Salted Fish Port" in the southern town of the continent, humanity, sinking for ten thousand years, finally broke free from the ideological constraints imposed by gods and demons and awakened. With the extraordinary intervention of the Lich Council’s powers, humanity also completely freed itself from relying on gods and demons.

The ten-thousand-year-long war of belief between Heaven and Hell ended in mutual disastrous defeats for both sides.

At this time, only five years and two months had passed since Gray Gruggle appeared in the surface world as a lich. Yes, five years and two months, one small lich brought earth-shaking changes to the entire world. Who could have imagined it?

This year, humanity ended the Holy Calendar system and began the new Silver Moon Calendar system. This year was called the First Year of Silver Moon.

In the same year, at humanity’s request, the Lich Council, the highest authority of the Undead Clan, announced its dissolution, and the White Bone Holy Light Court, a more centralized power institution for the Undead Clan, was established. Gray Gruggle was elected as the first Lich Pope and was historically known as the first Lich King.

In the same year, the Southern Alliance was formed, transcending national borders. Prince Benedict II of Isaac Kingdom renounced his successor rights to the throne of Isaac Kingdom and was elected as the first Speaker of the Southern Alliance. Prince Bob inherited the throne of Isaac, with Duke Yilin Beisher appointed as Regent.

In the same year, the long-standing human church was completely dissolved, its local powers sequentially collapsed, replaced by the Holy Light Arbitration Court, composed of arbitrators elected by various countries. Lich King Gray Gruggle was given the honorary title of Chief Arbitrator. Dean the Priest was elected as the first Chief Arbitrator of the Holy Light Arbitration Court.

In the same year, the White Bone Holy Light Court announced the "Thirteen Decrees" sanctioning the Black Dragon Clan, and relations between the Undead, humans, and Dragon Clan fell to an unprecedented low, with war on the brink of eruption. The Holy Light Arbitration Court and the Southern Alliance cut off all trade routes to the Gustav Empire and declared war against it. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Meanwhile, due to the Undead Clan’s violation of the "Gray Robe Agreement" reached with Heaven and Hell, and forming an alliance with humans, the lich’s powers forcefully intervened in the secular world, making the belief war untenable. The foundation of the ceasefire agreement between Heaven and Hell no longer existed.

Thus, in the same year, Heaven and Hell lifted the ten-thousand-year-long ceasefire agreement, both sides officially announced direct intervention in continental affairs. The Fourth Epoch, which began with the ceasefire agreement, finally ended with the agreement’s termination.

Therefore, humanity’s First Year of Silver Moon also became the Elf Clan’s First Year of the Fifth Era.

No matter what happens, history always tortuously, stubbornly moves forward.

A new calendar, a new history, and the long-forgotten glory of Krimasha seemed to revive again on this land. The old story has ended; will a new story happen?

...

"Hey, Editor-in-Chief! You came too?" In the bustling crowd, Morca spotted the disheveled Editor-in-Chief.

"Uh... yes, I came along," the Editor-in-Chief said awkwardly with a smile.

Morca jumped down from the roof, arriving beside the Editor-in-Chief: "I didn’t expect to meet you here."

The Editor-in-Chief said awkwardly, "Actually, I wanted to come and witness the lich firsthand. That way, I can write more interesting stories. Your four hands... were they made by the liches? They’re quite unique! Hahaha... I guess writing drafts will be faster, right?"

"Actually, they’re not much use, more of a burden. Kind of like... reputation." Morca spread his four hands, showing a proud smile: "How about it? Now you see the power of the ’Lich Knight’?"

"Yes, I admit, I misjudged you. I hope you can forgive me, considering I have to review so many books every day, don’t I? Next, I’m planning to publish more of your type of books, they will surely sell well."

Morca waved his hand, laughing: "Sure, I’ll authorize ’Lich Knight,’ ’Lich Knight Sequel One,’ and ’Lich Knight Sequel Two’ to you."

"Thank you, thank you!," the Editor-in-Chief bowed, then said eagerly, "and also ’Lich Knight Sequel Three’ and ’Lich Knight Sequel Four,’ as well as every sequel after that."

"Uh, sorry, I don’t plan to write anymore. After all, the story here already has a relatively complete ending. I’ve earned enough money and should start enjoying life."

"Are you sure? We’re prepared to spend a lot of money on promoting you and guarantee a minimum fee of ten thousand gold coins per book."

"Yes, very sure, *I’m a person of principles*. I..." Morca paused for a moment: "Wait, how much did you say per book?"

The Editor-in-Chief held up one finger: "Ten thousand gold coins."

Morca was stunned, blinking in disbelief at the Editor-in-Chief: "Ten... thousand? Gold coins?"

The Editor-in-Chief replied seriously, "Yes."

After a moment of silence, Morca quickly hooked his arm around the Editor-in-Chief’s shoulder and said: "I’ve thought about it, *life should have pursuits. Merely surviving is not a life, nor should it be the life of a great writer!* I accept this task! By the way, the first payment is thirty percent upfront?"

"No no no no, thirty percent is too much. Ten percent."

"At least twenty percent."

"Deal."

"Pleasure doing business!"

Hmm, now I am certain, a new story will happen. And, a new era has arrived!
