That is to say...... The Magu slaughtered the Qas, and then suddenly disappeared for some reason? ”

"Yes, Lord Runo."

"They...... Where did it go? ”

"Most likely they went to another world."

The noisy wind drove the huge leaves on the trunk of the tree, creating a loud rattling sound in everyone's ears, but Duan Qing, who had a calm face, was still sitting cross-legged opposite the old man named Ru Nuo, and stretched out his hand to introduce the stone in front of him that had been corroded by black qi: "This was originally an ordinary stone, the result of our experiments after we found a teleportation array in a corner of their clan. ”

"This kind of aura ......" The old man's eyes stayed on Duan Qing's body for a while, and then landed on the stone in front of him: "It is indeed an ominous aura." ”

"I've seen a lot of similar situations in my previous adventures." Duan Qing nodded: "Judging from the feedback that appeared on this stone, those Magu people may have been sent to the Void World. ”

"In our tribal records, that world is called 'Waldis.'" The old man, whose face did not change, looked down for a while, and then took out one of the books in front of him: "Oh, this is it...... I heard that the extremely dark world was the place where all the things that were not needed were swept into the life of the free continent when God gave life to the free continent, and it was a by-product of our earth and sky, and it was a part of the land that was abandoned by God......"

“…… Is there still such a legend in the tribe? Duan Qing, who glanced at the players behind him, asked in a slightly surprised way, "You guys...... You've been to that place before, too? ”

"No, our ancestors just left such legends."

Putting the thick book back down, a smile broke out on Lord Runo's ancient wrinkled face: "The will of God, we ordinary tribesmen cannot guess, as for whether Waldis exists now, and for what reason...... It's not a question I can answer. ”

"Then ......" Duan Qing hesitated for a while: "Do you believe what we say?" ”

"This adventurer named Babaojun has already explained it to me once before." Runo's eyes tilted slightly, and then slowly closed: "But...... Even if this is true, what does it mean for us? ”

“……”

"The Anderson Independent State has been here for thousands of years."

Facing Duan Qing's speechless expression, Master Lu Nuo continued in a low voice: "The change of clans is the main theme that has not changed in this land, even today, countless once famous tribes have finally disappeared into the strife of this land, and finally been replaced by other powerful tribes. The same is probably true of what happened to the Magu, but they did not die at the hands of other tribes, and we may see what happened to them as a providence......"

"No fate is pre-arranged, Patriarch."

Shaking his head to interrupt the other party's words, Duan Qing's eyes gradually became serious: "We specially brought you this news, just hope that you can see the anomaly that disappeared this time, the teleportation circle was artificially carved, the people of the Magu clan don't know such magic at all, and there is no ritual with a similar effect......"

"Someone created this disappearance." Babaojun, who was standing beside him, said in a low voice as he took a step forward: "And...... It must have been done by an outsider. ”

“…… The old man understood. His dim eyes roamed back and forth between the two of them for a while, and Lord Runo nodded slowly, "You want to connect this incident with the Magu Clan incident with the attacks our tribe has suffered recently...... Is that right? ”

"I take the liberty of asking, Patriarch." Duan Qing asked in a deep voice, "What does the person who attacked your clan look like?" How do you dress? ”

“…… It's a group of thugs who hide their faces. The old man Runo muttered for a while: "I am dressed in black clothes all over, and I use magic methods that can only be found in the outside world......"

"That's right, it should be the Restoration." The Flame Legend standing behind Duan Qing muttered in a low voice, "Only in this world will they deliberately dress like that......"

"There's an extra group of players now...... What about the self-proclaimed adventurers. The Flying Man on the side responded indifferently: "And I don't think they don't want to change into other clothes, it's just that they will make people fight harder......"

"You ...... It seems to be familiar with those attackers. Old Man Runo's eyes became noticeably brighter: "Do you know those hateful thugs? ”

"We can't say for sure, but we feel that there are already Restorationists in Anderson Independent State." Duan Qing bent down politely: "Maybe you don't know it, they have been making waves in the outside world for a long time, and now they have occupied most of the territory of Xifeng County, calling themselves the ...... of the Magic Empire."

"Magic Empire, ......"

As if thinking of some ancient record again, the old man's withered hands took out an old book from the book mountain again, and then rummaged through something, and asked without raising his head: "If what you said is true, then our clan is indeed under attack from this 'magic empire' recently, you ...... Interested in helping us repel their intrusion? ”

"The Eight Treasures have introduced to us before that the Lusen tribe is the largest tribe in the independent state." Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "Presumably, you must already have your own way to deal with these intruders, right?" ”

"It is for this reason that our tribe does not have any other tribe help now." As if mentioning something infuriating, there was a clear hint of anger in the old man's voice: "The Kuma tribe and the Figi tribe promised us before, but now there is still no shadow of a single person......

"I guess I've been taken care of by the other party, right?" Babaojun said in a gloomy voice, "For example, you have seen the power of the Magic Empire, or have been warned by the people of the Restoration......

"According to this reasoning, this attack on the Lucerne tribe may be the result of a secret joint attack by several tribes." The Legend of the Flame crossed his arms and sneered, "With the help of outside forces, drive this thousand-year-old tree from power......"

"Let's not talk about what the Restorationists wanted, if they wanted to occupy the independent state...... Wouldn't it be better to unite with Anderson's first clan, Lucson? Tudou suddenly said in his doubtful voice: "Why are they asking for trouble to eradicate the largest tribe?" ”

"The independent state of Anderson is still nominally the territory of the principality, and even a man like Lord Runo must not easily agree to such an offer on the surface." Duan Qing, who was looking at the old man, replied in a low voice, "And...... They must have had some unavoidable reason to exterminate the Lucerne tribe. ”

“…… What is the reason? ”

"Then I'll have to ask Lord Runo in front of you."

Pointing to the surroundings here, Duan Qing's gaze lowered again: "I take the liberty of asking again...... Where did these great trees of your tribe come from? ”

The action of rummaging through the books stopped little by little, as if the old man who had been ignoring the conversation between several people raised his head slightly, and the dim eyes that looked at Duan Qing really became serious at this time.

*****************************

"So what's wrong with these trees?"

"When I was in the past, I occasionally went to the top of Hulan Mountain, where there was a primeval ancient forest, and the big trees grew thicker than what we see now......"

"What? There is a primeval jungle on the top of Hulan Mountain? Why haven't I heard of it? And shouldn't it be a snowy mountain there? How could there be such a thing as a primeval forest? ”

"If you don't believe it, forget it, anyway, I was given a mission from a village down the mountain, and now it seems that most of those villages are also descendants of some tribe that ran from Anderson's side......"

Walking out of the place where the tall forest was, Duan Qing and his party then converged with the guild members under the Eight Treasure Monarchs on the side of the path at the entrance of the row of tents, and the conversation between Duan Qing and the others did not stop for a moment in the process: "Since this Lucerne tribe is a tribe that has lived for thousands of years, the origin of their clan may also be related to that mountain top, plus those towering trees...... As soon as I entered the place, I was almost sure of this conclusion. ”

"Brother Qingshan is really powerful." Yangtze River No. 7 on the side said with a smile: "Not only is he well-informed, but he can also sort out his own information and everything that is happening in front of him so quickly......"

"Don't praise me, I'm not as good as you say." Duan Qing immediately shook his head: "But...... This is not the only reason for me to make such a quick judgment. ”

"What else?"

"And those bone weapons and bone equipment."

Pointing to the location of the players who were still selling stalls on the side of the road, Duan Qing replied to Babaojun, "Those things...... I've also seen it at the top of the mountain. ”

"What? Is that place still inhabited? The Flame Legend exclaimed, "What do they look like?" Isn't it like an orangutan? ”

"There's no one to live in, and they can't go up now." Duan Qing waved his hand angrily: "I don't know if the bone building process here has been melted...... Is it as powerful as I've seen before, otherwise if such a powerful craft is lost, it will be a loss for our players. ”

"A bone artifact that can be compared to powerful equipment...... Is it? ”

His eyes lit up involuntarily, and the head of the royal family, Babaojun, turned around and said, "Then what should we do next, Brother Mo, continue to investigate the whereabouts of those tribes, or search for people suspected of being restorers?" ”

"I look at the way you look, obviously you want to collect the equipment first." The fat man named Flying Man scoffed at the positive attitude shown by the other party: "Are you interested in those bones that you haven't looked at before?" ”

"Don't be sarcastic, look at your bear-like ...... Maybe you'll be in those stalls in a moment. The flame legend who pulled the other party then turned around helplessly: "Brother Mo Shangqingshan, you say it, we all listen to you." ”

"Next ......"

Lowering his head and humming for a while, Duan Qing said a jaw-dropping sentence: "Of course, it's offline to rest." ”

"What?"

"Down, downline?"

"Brother Mo, are you tired?"

"Is there something urgent to deal with......

"I don't have anything to do, but I do have something to deal with."

Waving his hand to suppress the series of questions that followed, Duan Qing looked helplessly at the large number of people in front of him: "If you have any ideas of your own, you can just go and get busy by yourself, I will stay in the real world for a few hours, and it will take at least half a day to come back, so ...... Let's meet at this place tomorrow morning. ”

"I'll test your results." Ignoring the resounding around him, his figure began to gradually blur: "Come on, you guys." ”

"Hey...... Ay! Babaojun, who stretched out his hand forward, then lowered his hand stupidly: "Alas, at such a critical time......"

"I guessed what Brother Mo was doing." The flame legend who was holding his arms on the side lit up his eyes: "Presumably ......"

"I'm going to get ready for that."

It was still a pitch-black room, still the roar of the machine, and Duan Qing's eyes then opened in the game cabin in the center of this space, and tilted his head slightly tiredly. The humming sound of the game pod, which had stopped working due to the character being offline, began to get quieter and quieter, and was replaced by an old table lamp that suddenly lit up, and a woman in a maid's costume then appeared on the side of the game pod, holding something and walking over slowly: "Sir, you have worked hard, do you need tea?" ”

"No, no...... Just a little dizzy. ”

After waking up with difficulty, Duan Qing waved his hand to the outside of the cabin and replied: "Sure enough, it is an old-fashioned game cabin, not only is it moving a lot, but the simulation performance is not very good......

“…… Sir has worked hard. ”

Standing silently with refreshments for a long time, the woman replied with a little guilt: "It's Ning Lan's poor preparation......

"Don't, don't, don't say anything like that again." Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hand to stop the other party's guilt attack that wanted to start again: "It's already good to have a place to continue online, not to mention that there are you who have come all the way here...... By the way, how about the things I put you in touch with? ”

"Mr. Sheffield was still interested in your identity, but in the end he agreed."

"That's good, at least it doesn't waste Xiao Mengzhu's expectations...... What has she been up to lately? ”

"It's still the routine to go to the hospital once a day, to take care of her brother, and the rest of the time...... It seems to be all online. ”

“…… It's hard work. ”

After lowering his head and thinking for a while in front of the woman, Duan Qing nodded slowly: "Then ...... Inform me. ”

"Ready to get started."
