[Episode 18]
Halt!
Pitiful ones lost in the forest.
I cast a curse upon your eyes.
You shall see only your desires, not where your enemies are heading.
Apart from the two of you, everyone is to get off your horse.
Secure your horses.
We'll head up on foot.
Shuofeng He Ye!
You'll go first.
How many have we lost?
14 people.
Where are you?
Su He!
We have to save him.
You're not to go!
He's the Shuofeng Clan's shaman.
The Shuofeng Clan doesn't exist anymore!
All of you are subordinates of the Helan Clan now!
Whatever his surname might be!
The people of Han Prefecture never abandon their own kind!
The two of you!
- Bring him back! - Yes!
- Run! - Retreat!
Retreat!
Stop right there!
Stop!
My horse!
Get back here!
Don't hold me back!
Don't hold him back!
Get the horses back!
No! None of you are to go!
Abandon the horses!
Let go of me!
Shuofeng He Ye!
Are you going to rebel?
Take me out of here!
Granny.
What are you doing?
It's so hot!
How many do we have left?
Just nine people.
What about our horses?
This is the only one left.
Which horses did we lose?
They were all of the best war horses that we took from the other clans.
There's also Galloping Wind of the Muru Cavalry.
Without those horses...
what difference will it make?
Those are the best horses of our clan.
We'll have to spend half a year searching for war horses of the like.
It will then take another half a year to tame them
before our cavalry can ride them.
Who gave the orders to abandon the horses?
I did.
If we hadn't given up the horses, our men wouldn't have survived.
Shuofeng He Ye.
You care about my subordinates' lives.
You must be very grateful to Shuofeng He Ye.
I'm your lord but he made me look unsympathetic.
Who is in charge of managing the horses in our clan?
I am.
Tie Yuan!
Address me as your lord!
I am unsympathetic!
I am not your fathers!
I am your lord!
I'll lead you into conquering the entire Han Prefecture!
Every lush and abundant meadow in Han Prefecture!
They shall become your lands!
This man, Shuofeng He Ye!
He claimed to have come to take over Han Prefecture for us!
Yet now...
he has delayed our great ambition for a year!
Bind up all those who carry the surname Shuofeng!
Don't pick on them.
You'll have to ask my warriors of Helan if they would back down.
I abandoned those horses.
They have nothing to do with it.
I'll get you new war horses.
Can you get the horses I want?
As long as one has the will, anything is feasible.
If so...
I want...
werewolves.
Lord Helan.
Werewolves are but a legend.
No one knows if they really exist.
Some say that they're just a kind of horse.
Some say that they are real wolves.
They are beasts that can't be approached.
Shuofeng He Ye.
You!
Aren't you going to become the king of the world?
You!
Didn't you promise to help me become the king of Han Prefecture?
I...
Without a good war horse
how can I defeat the Muru Cavalry?
Where are the werewolves?
Shuofeng He Ye, don't go there!
Forget it.
Don't tell him.
He probably won't dare to go.
Where are the werewolves?
You can't--
Shuofeng Zhao Zhao!
Where are they?
You know that place.
It's a place we didn't even dare to mention as children.
It's the place where warriors would be scared sick
at the mere sight of its treetop from a distance.
It's the nightmare of every person in North Han.
Even your father, Shuofeng Da, didn't dare to go near it.
The Black Forest?
Did you go there?
Not even animals dare to go there.
Novoland will soon be destroyed.
Everyone will die.
I saw everyone crying.
I have to go to the Black Forest.
I must find that person in the Black Forest.
I must find that person!
If you dare to hurt any of my people while I am away...
I'll make you understand the true meaning of regret.
What's so frightening about the Black Forest?
Why do the people of Han Prefecture shudder when it is mentioned?
It's a snowfield in the extreme north of Han Prefecture.
It's connected to the Giants' Shang Prefecture.
It's so cold that not even one blade of grass can grow.
It's said that no man can adapt to the iciness there.
The legend has it that only the king of the snow wolves can survive.
That's not the frightening bit.
The scariest is that...
there lives a pack of...
I finally get to see you again.
Have you thought of what to name me yet?
I already did when we parted last time.
What is it?
I couldn't bring myself to tell you then.
I was worried that if you didn't like it
you would become angry and leave again.
Will you leave again?
Like you did before.
Does it matter?
You don't think it matters to me?
Young lady, you have eyebrows that resemble mountains in the distance.
They are dark without even dyeing them.
Your lips are red as rouge.
They are red without a tint of rouge.
You have an appearance second to none.
It seems as if you've walked out of a painting.
How about naming you Pin Xian? (Fairy of frowning eyebrows)
Who is this man?
I don't quite like him.
Young lady.
I'm Muyun De of Wan Prefecture.
The second son of Arch Prince Ye.
The new chief of Wan Prefecture's Chamber of Commerce.
I own half the riches of Novoland--
How talkative!
What's so frightening about the Black Forest?

It's a snowfield in the extreme north of Han Prefecture.

It's so cold that not even one blade of grass grew.
It's said that no man can--
No man can adapt to the iciness there.
The legend has it that only the king of snow wolves can survive.
That's not the frightening bit.
The scariest is that...
Lan Yu'er.
Don't you think this already happened?
Haven't I already said those words that I just said to you?
What's so strange about that?
Everyone gets the feeling of deja vu.
No, it's not right.
Something is amiss.
Pan Xi.
What?
Pan Xi.
That is your name.
You don't find it pleasing to the ear?
Call me that name again.
Pan Xi.
These are the 12 major stars of Novoland.
Someone must have told you that...
they are the origins of magical powers.
However, do you know...
what they really are?
It's such a beautiful moment right now.
I just wish to gaze upon the stars.
Who wanted to study magical powers?
Pan Xi... Will you join me for stargazing?
What am I to do with you?
It turns out that I really like this name.
When it's uttered by you
it feels like a name that's unlike any other.
Put that down!
Prince De, what are you going to do?
Nothing much.
I'm just curious, so I took it to take a look.
Where's Muyun Sheng?
At this hour, he might be taking a stroll outside.
Prince De, please hand over the glass bead to me.
I'll safeguard it for Prince Sheng.
Prince De.
Where did he get that glass bead from?
This glass bead...
Prince Sheng's mother, Consort Yin Rong, left it to him.
He cherishes it greatly.
Therefore...
I had spoken out of turn due to my anxiety.
Prince De, please don't take it to heart.
I should be pleased that a pretty lady like you raised your voice at me.
I've committed insubordination.
Prince De could have His Highness punish me.
It's not that serious.
I'm very easy-going.
Right, Lan Yu'er.
According to the palace regulations
shouldn't female attendants be allowed to leave the palace
to get married when they reach 20 years old?
I'm wiling to serve Prince Sheng all my life.
I don't want to leave the palace.
There's actually a lady who doesn't wish to get married?
Could it be that...
you are actually fond of Muyun Sheng?
I'm not.
Definitely not.
You're lying.
Prince De, please don't tease a mere maid like me.
All humans have feelings.
Muyun Sheng is a distinguished man.
It's no fault of yours to fall for him since you accompany him every day.
I just don't know how loyal you are to him.
What do you mean by that, Prince De?
Will you let me take that glass bead?
Prince De, how can you behave so?
I thought you were friends with His Highness!
My mentor's expertise lies in occultism.
He saw that glass bead and said it was inauspicious.
If Muyun Sheng keeps it with him, it will kill him sooner or later.
You might as well let me take it away and have it destroyed.
That should save his life.
That's not possible.
Consort Yin Rong couldn't possibly leave something behind to hurt her child.
Hasn't Muyun Sheng ever behaved strangely because of that glass bead?
Your Highness, did you have another nightmare?
I dreamed that the woman in the glass bead was going to speak to me.
We've never met.
But she's made me see some things.
Whenever I think about her lately, I keep getting those visions.
Your Highness!
He does seem to act strangely.
Even so, I still won't do it.
I think that you just won't dare to do so.
You're afraid that he'll get mad at you for losing the glass bead.
Forget it if you don't dare.
How beautiful.
I won't get tired of this, even if I watch it for life.
That won't do.
Someone told me that you have other things to do.
Didn't you say it was only my voice you could hear?
Indeed.
But I keep hearing this other voice recently.
It keeps telling me to go to you.
It wants me to teach you magical powers.
It wants me to awaken you.
Awaken?
I'm not in a dream.
Who is behind that voice?
I've forgotten.
Yufei Star...
That's your host star.
Yes, it's the star of war.
If I sense the force of the star
I'll bring disaster upon the people.
All 12 major stars actually fuse as one.
They weren't separated and they do not differ in characteristics.
They were all once Desolation's body.
Desolation?
The God of Desolation?
The legendary god from the ancient times?
That's just a legend.
Those were but stories told to children.
Close your eyes.
What for?
Desolation has always been around.
Everyone can see it.
I'll teach you how.
Think to yourself about the spot between your eyebrows.
It is right here.
Close your eyes.
Can you see colors?
It seems to be black.
It also seems to be white.
It also seems that there is no color at all.
Or that there are all sorts of colors.
Can you see any shape?
It's shapeless.
There's nothing.
It just feels so huge.
There's no border.
Do you find it empty?
Yes, it's empty.
But for no reason, I find myself at ease.
That's Desolation.
Although Desolation is now asleep, it's left everyone a window.
You can look at it through the window.
You can look at how this world once were before it was formed from chaos.
I see it.
There's nothing over there.
There's only stability.
Joy.
And eternity.
Forget about Yufei Star.
It's actually Desolation who gives you powers.
These few words of yours actually relieved me of the issue
that troubled me for years.
From now on, can I come often into the glass bead to talk to you?
I still have to teach you about occultism.
If I don't sense the force of the star and then learn to use magical powers
does that mean I won't bring disaster upon the people?
Perhaps.
Are you keeping something from me?
It's all right.
I'll just stay by your side always.
If I don't teach you about occultism, it's as if I have yet to get things done.
I'll feel uneasy.
It's just because of that?
What is it that you see?
Amber begonia.
What I see is the energy of the sun.
What does that mean?
I want you to remember.
There weren't any magical powers in the beginning.
There were only different ways to look at matters in one's mind.
Once you're no longer influenced by the appearance of such matters
you'll discover the true secret to this world.
You should get going.
When you no longer see a flower as a flower...
come look for me in the glass bead.
It's getting windy.
Your hair is becoming messy.
Prince De, thank you for your concern.
This glass bead is of a unique significance to Prince Sheng.
If it goes missing...
His Highness will investigate once he finds it gone.
He won't stop until he finds it.
That won't be a problem as long as you help me.
I have as many glass beads like this as I want in my pawn shops.
I can just replace it with one of them.
Why would you do this?
I also wish for Muyun Sheng to live his life without worries.
After spending some time with him, he might seem to be just fine
but deep in his heart, he's very much aggrieved.
He's quite pitiful.
Moreover, you can then worry less about him.
I take my leave.
I'll walk you out.
Lan Yu'er.
Your Highness?
When did you get home?
Why didn't I see you come in?
Over the next few days, don't come into my room to disturb me.
Yes.
Sheng, what new painting are you working on?
I'm studying something interesting.
Something interesting?
Sheng, could it be that you're learning occultism from someone?
Lan Yu'er, walk Prince De out.
Yes.
Prince De.
Prince De, you have an important visitor.
