Gigi and Thor, two idle guys, have long been paying attention to the freshwater fish in those "water balls" floating in the sky. The monkey was wearing a rope, one dared to throw, one dared to jump, one person and one monkey cooperated tacitly, and caught a lot of big fish.

There are also large orange trees in the deserted orchards of the Floating Island, and it is harvest season, and heavy red fruits hang all over the branches. Anna and the elven maidens of Yasrema picked the fruit together, and the harvest was full.

The fat cat uses exquisite cooking skills to turn fish, vegetables and fruits into a large table of delicacies.

The "Ghost Regiment" and the elven warriors spent a pleasant night together, drinking until dawn.

......

The next day, several large elven warships came to the floating island.

"General Mungo!"

"It's General Mungo here..."

"Oh my God, isn't General Mungo directing the battle at the front, is the war over?"

“...”

A kind of elven people looked at the flags of the floating ships and became excited.

From a long distance, everyone could clearly see the old elf standing on the bow of the main ship, dressed in silver armor and with a majestic face.

That face Raymond is very familiar, naturally it is Mongo who has had a relationship.

Even he didn't expect that Mongo, the top master of the elven race, the leader of the Seventh Legion, would personally come to greet them.

Last time in the "City of Eternal Night" Eludnes, this elven powerhouse took the elven prince Eagle alone to find Puyos to treat his injuries, Raymond was deeply impressed by him, loyal, strong, humble, kind...

Obviously, Mongo was also surprised that Raymond would come to the Elven Realm.

......

When the Mongo fleet came, it also brought good news.

This time, the elven queen led the clansmen to win a complete victory, severely inflicting heavy damage on the supreme commander of the demon clan [Terror Lord] Utamo, and forcing the demon army back to Rossi Volcano.

Hearing this, Yasrema and the young elven warriors were overjoyed. The war was finally won, and the big stone in my heart also fell. This battle can bring at least a few years of respite for the elves.

Mungo had a very powerful rune master with him, and the elven elven elders, even in their old age, were busy drawing floating runes on the hull of the Golden Wraith. The process is complicated and takes a whole day.

......

Mongo's prestige in the elves was very high, at least where he appeared, those young elven warriors were all in awe, and they didn't dare to surround him.

At the edge of the floating island, Raymond stood beside Mongo, accompanying the big guy to look at the scenery in the clouds.

He knew that this big guy must have something to explain to him alone.

"Boy Raymond, long time no see. How did you come to our elven realm? ”

After the greetings, we went straight to the point.

Mungo had a good impression of Raymond, but he was more curious about how the "Ghost Regiment" came to the Elven Secret Realm.

The routes in and out of the secret realm are top secret among the elves, and none of them knows more than a palm.

And the human world doesn't know much.

Except for the fleet of "One Piece" Delos twenty years ago, probably only his old friend, the undead corpse witch Puyus, who has lived for nearly a thousand years, knows.

After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Raymond, guessing, "Puyos told you how to enter?" ”

"It's not."

Raymond shook his head and said straightly: "We only heard about the legend of the 'Sky City' in the land of giants, Gafatron, and then my navigator cracked the clues in the legend of the giants, and happened to find the 'Mirror Sea'. ”

After a pause, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, before entering the secret realm, we didn't know that this secret realm was the dwelling place of the elven race. ”

"Oh, that's it..."

Hearing this, Mongo raised his eyebrows noncommittally and didn't ask any more questions.

After thinking about it, he said solemnly: "That... Please, after you go out, remember not to leak the secret realm to other humans. Otherwise, it will bring unnecessary trouble to the secret realm..."

"Leave?"

The corners of Raymond's eyes twitched slightly.

I just arrived, and listening to this tone, the master is going to drive people away?

However, although he muttered in his heart, he still responded with the same solemnity: "Okay, we will definitely not leak all the information in the secret realm." ”

In fact, for these elves, the best way to keep the secret is to kill Raymond and them.

Of course, Mongo also has this ability.

But Raymond didn't see any hostility or suspicion in his eyes, and the "friendly" quality of the High Elves was engraved in his bones.

"Well, thank you in advance."

Mungo nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Although it is rude to say this, I hope you should leave the Elven Secret Realm as soon as possible... As you can see, the situation here is not promising. War could break out again at any moment..."

After a pause, he glanced at Raymond regretfully and continued, "If you are here for the 'Moon Divine Stone'... You may be disappointed. Now our elven holy land Moon Spring is occupied by the demon army, and there are high-level demon heavy guards, and now no one can break through the defense line and get the divine stone. ”

Raymond had made this request at the beginning, and Meng Ge naturally thought that they might have come to the secret realm to fight the "Moon Divine Stone".

Unfortunately, this thing can't be done at all.

"Oh."

Raymond frowned, and although he was unwilling, he also nodded.

The "Moon Divine Stone" was indeed one of the most important purposes for his visit, and it was also the most important missing part of Colin's Kuruz alchemy body.

But since a powerhouse of Meng Ge's level can't avoid it, then the "Moon Spring" must be a dangerous place for the little shrimps of the "Ghost Group".

Even though he knew that there was a treasure there, he felt that it was better to be alive.

"As for the other thing you said you wanted to borrow the ancient dwarven texts, that's a trivial matter. I remember that there were a lot of ancient books in the library..."

With a hint of apology on his face, Mungo continued, "You saved His Highness Iger, and the Empress will definitely not refuse your request. Once you've got the Dwarven Lingua Franca, get out of here as soon as possible. Otherwise... It's going to be dangerous. ”

Urged to leave again, Raymond finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked: "Senior Menggo, didn't you win this battle?" How could it be..."

Listening to his eager tone, he felt that the elven clan was on the verge of extinction all the time, and the guests who came did not dare to stay for a long time, for fear of affecting them.

"Hey..."

Hearing this, Mungo's eyes became more and more gloomy, but he did not answer the question.

Raymond heard something else in the sigh.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that under the appearance of the elven empress's personal victory... Is there something else going on?

After thinking about it, he said, "If the elves need help... I mean, I have some great mechanical alchemists among my companions, and they can create powerful magical cannons in a short period of time, and maybe they can bring a little bit of benefit to the battle..."

He said this modestly.

Is it more than a little good?

In terms of the level of science and technology in this secret realm, if the appearance of magic energy artillery and steam machinery is definitely a crushing existence, it must have a shocking impact on the pattern of war.

Therefore, he wondered why these elves would rather sacrifice the lives of so many clansmen than use human technological weapons to kill the enemy.

Hearing this, Mungo shook his head, apparently guessing what Raymond was thinking.

He looked a little strange, and asked rhetorically, "Are you curious, why do we keep letting our clansmen use their lives to fill the big hole of war when we can borrow human technology to change the situation of the war?" ”

Raymond nodded: "Yes, this... I was really confused. ”

Mungo: "Hey... This secret realm exists for the sake of sealing! Time goes back countless years to antiquity... At that time, there was a problem with the seal, and in order to prevent the demonic energy of the seal from affecting the human world, the ancestor of our elven clan used the divine power of the 'Moon Spring' to create this 'mirror secret realm' to isolate the seal from the human world. And we, the elves, also moved here at that time to guard the seal..."

“...”

Hearing this, Raymond suddenly felt that some clues in his mind coincided.

Legend has it that the elven clan disappeared from the world out of thin air, and it turned out that it was because of the seal, and the Ju clan migrated to this secret world?

"We elves have been fighting those demons for countless years... Technology can indeed speed up the end of war, but it will also accelerate the process of the demise of our elves. ”

Meng Ge said in a heavy tone, "If it weren't for the last moment of extermination, we wouldn't have used human technology to fight the demons. ”

"Why?"

Raymond was a little puzzled when he heard this, technology will accelerate the extermination of the race, how are the causes and effects of the two involved?

Meng Ge explained: "When you arrive at the royal capital 'Senyimata', you will understand that our elven race is now fighting against dozens of times the number of demons, and the biggest advantage is that there are more high-level powerhouses precipitated by civilization... Then there are the magic towers of the royal capital 'Senyimata'. If there is human technology and war, then the absolute superiority of high-level powerhouses will not be so obvious..."

"Oh?"

Raymond suddenly understood.

If there is really a magic cannon, then some low-level demons will be able to have the means to threaten high-level elves. The number of demons has an absolute crushing advantage over the elves, and there are more cannon fodder who are not afraid of death...

Unless the elves can ensure that the technological weapons are not leaked, it may be difficult to say in the long run.

Sure enough, Mongo went on to address the issue.

"The last time Your Highness Tiig came into contact with the 'ghast possession', you should have understood that the demons have some means to demonize souls... The vast majority of high-level demons are actually transformed from the warriors who died in battle of our elven race. Therefore, it is difficult for us elves to keep any secrets. Once the technological weapon is mastered by the demons, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Meng Ge was very helpless in his tone, if he could, who would let his people risk their lives to fill the black hole of war.

He continued: "If the sealing problem of the demon clan is not completely solved, then the demon clan in the secret realm will never be killed!" So, the use of technological weapons may give us an advantage in this hundred years, but what about a hundred years from now? The final outcome must be to hasten the extinction of our elves..."

Hearing this, Raymond understood it thoroughly.

This person is the reason why the high-level of the elf clan obviously has the "big killing weapon", but they dare not use it.

In this "Sky City Secret Realm", the elven race has been fighting against the demon race for countless years, and it is not worth burying a hidden danger of accelerated demise for the sake of one or two hundred years of advantage.

This topic sounds very heavy.

The High Elves in the secret realm are like an old man in the twilight, although he is trying to fight against fate, he still can't stop himself from approaching death little by little, and he is helpless, powerless, and hopeless.

Raymond also understood that Mungo had called him here alone to explain these things to him.

Saying this, the elven general's face returned to normal, as if he was used to this heaviness. He said to Raymond, "Of course, very few people know these secrets. Even there are only a few people in our race who know about the existence of the human world... I want you to keep it a secret..."

The powerful elven general made one last request to Raymond, hoping that they would secretly go to the secret royal capital, and then take the "Dwarven Lingua Franca" and quietly leave.

Ignorant of the existence of the human world, the elven warriors can still fight against the water.

But if they knew that there was a wider world beyond this secret realm, the military spirit would definitely be shaken. Even if faith kept them going, for those young elven warriors, this fate was extremely cruel and unfair.

"yes, I see."

Raymond nodded solemnly, and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble, Senior Menggo." ”

......

For a long time, the two did not speak again.

The two watched as the clouds surging under the floating island, stretching endlessly, like the waves of an endless sea.

At this time,

Raymond suddenly thought of some more questions, and asked instead, "Senior, I once saw the seal of an ancient god in the human world... In this world, how is such a seal? These sealed corpses of gods and demons can't be completely solved? ”

"You're talking about the seal of the Earth Demon Island? The Pure Mao Clan, like our Elven Clan, shoulders the responsibility of guarding the seal for generations... But the seals they have there are much intact. ”

Mongo shook his head slightly, a kind of helplessness in his eyes.

He said, "Hey... If it could be solved, it would have been solved a long time ago. The sealed gods and demons were once top-level gods beyond the scope of our knowledge, and they would not decay for hundreds of millions of years. Even the demigod-level powerhouses of the world are not qualified to stop in front of those god corpses..."

These words made everyone who heard and said it instantly feel a sense of humility in their hearts.

Seems...

The gods and demons are all ants, and they don't even have the qualifications to look up.

Raymond's eyes flashed with a complicated divine light, and he asked again: "Senior, what happened in the ancient period?" ”

In his mind, the elves are a civilization that has been passed down from ancient times, and they should know more about the secrets.

Mungo shook his head: "No one knows what happened in antiquity. It's been too long, and even the information passed down by our elves is very small... All I know is that there seems to have been a 'cataclysm' at that time, a catastrophe in which a large number of gods fell. The land we are in has become a 'graveyard' for certain gods..."

......

Unconsciously, the two chatted for a long time.

Raymond asked a lot of questions in his mind, whether it was the unsolved mysteries in the game or some of the truths he learned about the world after crossing over.

Mongo, a High Elf who had lived for more than a hundred years and had a lot of knowledge, also knew everything.

The two asked and answered, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Raymond's experience in the two lives, he understands a variety of things, whether it is a game or reality, he can doubt a lot, but the questions that can make him open his mouth will not be simple.

asked too much, which also made Meng Ge feel impressed.

"You kid... Understands more than the average human powerhouse. As far as you just asked, you have faintly touched the ultimate secret of this world..."

As he spoke, Meng Ge looked at Raymond meaningfully, blinked and asked, "Since the 'Elven Secret Realm' exists, have you ever doubted that your human world is actually a larger secret world?" Maybe... You and I are the 'frogs at the bottom of the well' who can't jump out? ”

"Ever thought about... I've thought about this question from the moment I entered this secret realm. ”

Raymond spread his hands, always feeling that this problem had already involved philosophy, and he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think much about it.

"For me, though," he said. No matter how big the world is, it's good to live a wonderful life, and it's not in vain..."

These are the words from the bottom of his heart.

Anyway, I've died once, and it's boring to travel to this wonderful world of navigation, if you can't let the world remember that he Lei someone has been here...

"It's a good sentence to live a wonderful life!"

Meng Ge sighed with emotion, "I think that in this regard, you kid is more transparent than me." ”

Raymond shrugged.

It seemed that there was nothing left to talk about, so he casually asked, "Senior, can't the seal in this secret realm be completely solved?" ”

In fact, you don't need to ask to know that this question must be a dead knot.

The problem that the ancient elves are so powerful that there is no ending, and after spending so many years and not thinking of a way, it will definitely not be solved.

However, he didn't expect that his casual question would open up a new idea by mistake!

Anyway, it will take a long time to draw the "Floating Rune", and there is enough time, so I will simply start from the beginning.

Mungo slowly recounted: "Legend has it that in ancient times, we elves, you humans, giants, dwarves, dragons... The Five Clans are an alliance. After the Great War of the Gods, a demon god was slain, and his body was buried and sealed. Later, the seal broke, the demonic qi leaked out, and the lives were devastated, and the ancestors of the five clans planned to bless the seal with five holy relics... But at that time, no one expected that the patriarch of the dwarf clan had been affected by demonic energy and betrayed the alliance... Then at the last moment of the seal, the dwarven patriarch took away a key artifact and disappeared, leaving a hidden danger in the end..."

He tells a long ancient story, seals, secret realms, the migration of elves...

"Why did the ancestor of my elf clan prevent the demonic qi from affecting the world, and then used the divine power of the 'Moon Spring' to create this secret realm, and then it has been until now..."

After listening to the story, Raymond vaguely felt that something was wrong, "Wait... Senior, the ancient dwarf race in your mouth, is it the branch under the ground of Gafatron's Heavenly God Tree? ”

Hearing this, Meng Ge was stunned for a moment, he had not been out of the secret realm for several months, and he naturally didn't know that the Dark Dungeon had already appeared, so he wondered: "Hey, Brother Raymond, there is a dwarf ruin in Gafatron?" ”

"It's a long story... An ancient dwarven relic has been discovered beneath the ground of Gafatlon..."

Suddenly, Raymond's expression suddenly became a little strange.

He always felt that his passive "Passion Trigger +45% in the Wild" was about to be triggered again.

His eyes flashed, and his thoughts raced.

The more I think about it, the seemingly unrelated "headless clues" are unconsciously connected head to tail, like beads worn into a bead curtain, and a complete causal event clearly appears in my mind.

Dwarves, defections, relics, seals, relics, corpses, treasures of unknown origin in safes...

He vaguely felt that things might be "coincidence" again!

After pondering for a long time, Raymond slowly exhaled a breath of air, and said with a complicated expression: "Perhaps, the dwarven group under the Heavenly God Tree is the one betrayed by the Five Clans Alliance back then... And, I've found a couple of dwarven artifacts..."

"Senior Menggo, can you see if there is the sealing relic that was taken away by the dwarven patriarch back then?"

The things he was talking about were naturally the mysterious items he got from his fresh-keeping vault when he killed Ivan Davide.

There is always a sign that the dwarven skeleton found by those absentees may be the dwarven patriarch who defected back then!

"Boy Raymond, you just... What was said? ”

Mongo's words were quite clear, but his mind didn't digest the shocking news for a while.

How could it be that the nightmare that had plagued their elven clan for countless years had been cracked so coincidentally?

Found the lost seal relic?

It can't be...

But when he looked at the few items that Raymond took out, his eyes were fixed on a mysterious box, and his expression gradually changed from questioning to ghostly... Horror!
