Standard Terra Calendar, 941.M41
Extreme Star Field, Nastum Star Zone, Midnight Heart
This is a piece of planetary fragment floating in boundless darkness, almost forgotten by the entire Milky Way, but it once had a prominent reputation ten thousand years ago.
Nastum is located on the inner edge of the ghoul stars, a planet that is always dark, covered by polluted clouds and eternal solar eclipse, and only the nobles and elites on the planet can afford artificial lighting.
In Nastum, murder, extortion and theft were extremely rampant, and the elites hired mobs to oppress and control the lower class composed of a large number of foundry workers, which was the closest situation on the planet at that time.
Violence, including interpersonal relationships and suicide, controls the population.
Because the Nastum strata contains extremely high value wealth, especially a large number of naturally generated gold deposits, mineral trade has brought great wealth to Nastum, but the cost is that huge chemical plants and metal smelters leave huge scars on the planetary surface and toxic clouds that always cover the sky.
The planet operates in synchronization with its satellite Teneber, which leads to the darkness brought by solar eclipse even in midsummer. Such environmental conditions have caused the residents of Nastum to have pale albino-like skin and black eyes, which allows them to adapt to an almost completely dark environment and survive.
But the most famous thing is that it is the home star of the infamous Midnight Lords Legion and the home of the Primrose Conrad Cotz.
Unfortunately, Conrad Cotz did not like his home planet, and could even be said to be hated, but when the Legion returned to Nastum for the last time, news came to the Legion that the regime of the Imperial Governor Basilus led to the rampant crimes again.
Conrad Cotz was almost crazy at that time, and he ordered the fleet to enter orbit, and their weapons aimed at their homes.
Subsequently, countless light spears and torpedoes poured down from orbit, hitting the only weakness left by Koz's nursery cabin or large-scale gold mining in the earth's crust and reaching the center of the earth. The chain reaction caused by the explosion in the center of the earth completely destroyed Nastum, and the entire planet was eventually broken into pieces, and the largest piece of debris was later called the Heart of Midnight.
Ten thousand years later, even this name has been completely forgotten by people. Now it is just a nameless fragment of a planet.
But no one would have thought that there was a garden inside this lifeless planetary fragment!
The Giant Forest Court is one of the places. Forty clusters of green giant trees stand under the rocky sky. The branches and leaves of ancient trees that have never seen the sun sway gently under the ever-suspended breeze of the ventilation opening. In addition, the forest is quiet and peaceful.
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared, wearing a pitch-black robe as dark as ink, and the sound caused by stepping on the dead leaves seemed extremely clear in the silence.
"You're late."
Under the big tree in the center of the courtyard, another figure in a light green robe stands, which is equally tall.
The man in black robe then let out a low laugh.
"The first time I saw you so anxious? Are you anxious to kill each other for that secret and your fellow countrymen?"
"no."
The man in green robe shook his head and placed the palm covering his armour on the trunk.
"There are more important things to be dealt with now."
"Then let's come one by one. I have made a decision. That person is in line with expectations and is worth our action."
"Are you really so sure?"
"Ha, have you seen him too? You should be very clear about what our mission is. He is a key link. We have been lurking for a long time. Time is not on our side. The future is full of variables."
The man in green robe seemed to be thinking, and after a few minutes of silence, he spoke:
"I have seen him, but I just saw him, and I can't determine how deep he is... and I don't have much time to plan the future, although the future is the reason why we gather together."
The man in black robe walked to another big tree and leaned against the trunk.
"Also, I have been ridiculed by those damn elves several times. I don't want to contact them anymore. I'll go next time."
Hearing this, the man in green nodded.
"Superfaction is their inseparable nature. The fall of their empire has destroyed countless worlds. We cannot trust them too much... But they are the staunch enemies of chaos, and have helped us many times for this. For the time being, we have to cooperate with them, and you are the most suitable person to deal with them."
The man in black just smiled and did not respond.
The two then fell into silence, leaving only their subtle breathing sounds in the air.
In the end, it was the man in green who broke the dead silence.
"You've gone to wake up that thing."
The man in green robe said in a warning tone:
"Do you have the authority to make this decision alone? Will others agree?"
"They will agree."
The man in black nodded slightly, as if he was staring at the man in green.
"My question is, do you?"
"If you stick to your own opinions and speculations, why ask for my opinion?"
"Because in this small group, you are the same person as me, we used to be the opponent, but now we work together and the decisions we make will be more important."
"So you don't have confidence in this decision."
"The Eagle has been on his side, and now the last one is about to be filled, and the new member may break the balance."
"If I were to believe you, then there would be no secret between us."
"I agree, I will tell you about that when I have time."
The two then began to walk side by side. Although they didn't walk fast, their breathing was heavy.
"Now, although we avoid everyone's eyes and ears, those who are stationed on the Titan satellite are not fuel-efficient lamps. They seem to have noticed our existence over the years. Although they have never officially tracked it down, it will definitely be a problem in the future."
They came to a clearing between the woods, a wooden bench made of split trees placed in the middle, and the environmental console with the flashing water column and the edge of the forest further reduced the natural properties of the forest.
The two sat down at the same time, and the bench sank due to the pressure caused by the two giants when they sat down.
"Abaddon is about to start his thirteenth expedition. Those people on the Titans are busy and cannot draw much power to track us down for the time being."
Hearing the man in black robe, the man in green robe sighed.
"It seems you are very confident. Have you contacted someone else?"
"Everyone has contacted, dogs, snakes, crows, cows, horses, and dragons have responded to the summons, only wolves and ghosts."
"Since you've done it, I have nothing to say."
The man in green robe then stood up, took out a golden key from his arms, threw it to the man in black robe, and said lightly:
"Let's meet in our old place."
