Endless darkness enveloped everything.
Richard did not know how long he had been asleep.
It could have been a minute or a century.
He finally regained consciousness in the endless darkness.
He was just like one about to wake up from a deep sleep. Richard couldn't think or make a judgment.
He suddenly heard a low murmur in his daze.
However, the voice fleeted, and he could not hear distinctly.
It was like one recited a prayer but cried at the same time.
Round after round, without end.
The voice gradually cleared after an unknown period.
"Great Lord, please respond to our summons...
"Descendant of the royal family of Ell, I humbly beseech you…
"Lowly people betrayed the Kingdom of Ell...
"We will abide by the last words of our ancestors...
"I beg the Great Lord to descend..."
"Huh!?
"Someone called me?"
The Kingdom of Ell?! What country was that?!
