At the liveliest moment in the Thousand-Year Quicksand of the Sanghai Empire, the Creator's Chosen, who had guided and solved the empire's troubles with his own hands, was mysteriously absent.
Some said Lord Murphy had gone to the Ptolemaic royal city to help Her Majesty Fuli prepare for her coronation. Others whispered that he had gone to one of the Creator's secret factories in the desert to inspect it, and would return with a full 300 power armors for his most loyal players.
In truth, all of the above was complete nonsense.
If asked, the answer was that nobody knew where these rumors had come from. In reality, Murphy had already left the Sanghai Empire and was traveling north on a journey that should have been quick, but had been delayed a little.
It had been three days, and his ship was still stranded on the broken bridge over the Castilla Strait in the northern Sanghai Empire.
At the Origin Vanguard's speed, if it had switched into full-throttle mode, it could have circled the world at least four times by now. Of course, Murphy had his reasons for staying here.
The Skybridge lay in the foothills north of Mount Rotmuth, the northernmost mountain in the Land of Origin. The range formed a natural barrier separating the Land of Origin from the Castilla Strait, a perilous gap formed by the continental shelf's fracture. The range's flattest stretch had once been the hereditary domain of the Mamluk family.
It was a very fertile valley-and-hill region. The Moon of Death Holy City had once maintained a grand temple atop Mount Rotmuth.
Unfortunately, that had all happened three hundred years ago.
Now the area lay in ruins. The hardest battle of the "Moon of Death Rebellion" had been fought here. Hummons I's Undying Army
