Almost half a century ago, few people would have ventured so far into the territory of the lizardmen, the Lake of Aube's Tears, or the Great Rainforest.

Although the lizardmen have long since submitted to Kaorin-Ishurian, only a handful of explorers travel to the realm to find the treasures of the rainforest or bring back the mysterious and cold curse of the ancient kingdom of Sinsas.

Many famous explorers have lost their lives in this rainforest, such as the Royal Geographical Society's Medal of Honour Lady E. Fay Adelaide and Lord Pierre de Grossler; Yes, the latter is the owner of the surname that Fang Ou is familiar with, this Grossle is a figure almost two hundred years ago, and it is said in the past that he died in depression in the midst of an ancient curse, and now it seems that the curse may have caused the curse to affect his descendants, and finally the surname Grossle was lost two centuries later, and even the last bloodline inheritance was lost to him as an outsider.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration, and the ancient curse of Sinsas is a fascinating statement, but it is mostly due to false rumors, and what is said behind it is nothing more than the mystery of this ancient rainforest.

To this day, the Lizardmen are still only Djinnish on another Giant Island relative to the Kingdom, and there are many followers of the Dark Dragon, as was evident in the Torragtos Incident. However, unlike the southern border, the Korin people did not start a war against the Far South, because first of all, it was difficult for the army to enter, and even if the fleet overcame many difficulties such as miasma, epidemics, and water and soil adaptation, it could not stay in this land for a long time. Compared to the rest of Kaulin-Ishurian, even compared to other regions with very different cultures, such as Istania and Evan Quinn, Nognes is more like a foreign wilderness.

However, what is different from the past is that since the Chosen arrived in this world, this wild land has been relatively lively. Now the explorers have not only reached the Lake of Aube's Tears, but also through the Great Rainforest, and even beyond the Kailanao Pass, deep into the swamps of the Asuka Rainforest, far west of the ladder of the Old World, and for the first time into the hinterland of the Blood Lizards and the Kingdom of Tada.

If I have to say the reason, it is probably because the Paparals, who had been cursed by the Sinsas once, were lucky enough to survive - the Elector seemed to be naturally bold and hard-hearted; While sometimes it's just an illusion, silly audacity is one of the most well-known labels for this demographic.

Standing at the corner of a street, the Plover watched the rows of animal skin tents stretch forward as far as the eye could see, and it was difficult to say that the whole of Pacheva had any plan, as if it was growing freely, spreading along the lake of Aube's Tears. After the shower, the road was muddy, and a few duckweeds could be seen in the puddles, on which a rainforest frog stood on it.

The lizardmen's tent is where they can still stay, a trade area where almost every lizardman is doing business with outsiders, and the customers are the adventurers who have gone deep into the area, as mentioned above.

On the stalls were roots, stems, seeds, and bark of plants that even the square plover could not name, as well as ores and crystals, to name a few; But those who have been here more than once can easily tell what is really good, and they communicate with the tattooed lizardmen with their hands by gesturing, and soon they can come to an agreement with the stall owner to trade gold and silver for what they need.

Not far away, Red opened the door of a tent and walked out.

He walked over and said, "Ed, I have inquired, and the lizards did not know how to get a batch of earth source crystals; In terms of time, it may have the same source as the Earth Source Crystal of the Art Dispute Guild, that is, the batch we have obtained now. However, I have a more interesting thing to hear than that news from yours. ”

As he spoke, the big cat man took out his pipe, lit a match, and shook the spark off in it.

He said these words without looking back, as if he was chatting with Fang Yuan.

However, after Fang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look back at the other party.

"You should know that in the past century, Nognes has produced nearly sixty percent of the Earth Source Crystals in the entire Kalin Continent. When the Cowlin people went south to occupy this land, they also took a fancy to the great wealth contained in its formation. ”

Fang Yuan nodded slightly, Nognes is a soil hedron producing area of Kaurin-Ishurian, and it is well known that there are several huge veins underground. However, the vast majority of these veins are in the hands of the kingdom of Kaorin, and the Electors have only owned a few meagre mines for the last thirty years.

"Let's talk as we go," Red said, looking around with his pipe in his mouth, "and you might be able to meet some rare good things in a place like this." ”

"Mr. Red, you're here again." Fang Yu sighed, most of the people who had such thoughts were fooled in the end.

The market has been in place for quite some time, and even if some people did buy valuable items from lizardmen in the early days, over time, both buyers and sellers have learned to do so.

Red smiled and said, "Ed, you have to learn to expect something to happen so that there will be surprises." Most people have planted their heads in such places, but there are exceptions, and you can see that in this rainforest, the Sinsas snake people have left countless treasures. ”

"All I know is that someone bought a Sinsas Snake Man Age Wizard and went back."

Red laughed, "That's because Parker didn't learn history well." ”

"Let's get back to business, Mr. Red."

"Well, it's actually related to the yield of the Earth Elemental Crystal Vein. In the past ten years, Nognes's Earth Elemental Crystals have dropped dramatically, both in terms of production and quality," the Big Cat Man looked back at him, "Do you know what that means?" ”

"Nognes' Ethernet network is weakening?"

Red nodded.

"In most parts of the world, Ethernet networks have experienced significant attenuation over the last 50 years. In the early days, the Council of Stars and Moons used the twelve-ring spell as the standard for archmages and elves, but in recent years, it has actually been reduced to the eleventh ring, because fewer and fewer people can cast spells above the ten rings. ”

"However, the life span of the floating continent will eventually come to an end, which is why countries are keen to develop the second world. It's a slow process, and we may not necessarily see it in our lifetimes. But that's not what I'm going to say, Ed. ”

"The lizard man said that in the last three months, the crystal production in the entire Nognes area has been greatly reduced. The production of Guy Crystals is also decreasing, and there are several guild mines that even have zero output, so the price of Earth Source Crystals will rise in the market. This is a bit unusual, and I suspect that someone is behind it, someone taking advantage of the turmoil in the south, and the Cowlings have no time to take advantage of Nognes's opportunity to draw power from the ethernet veins beneath Nognis. ”

Fang Yu opened his mouth slightly, because it sounded a little too incredible.

"It sounds a bit bizarre, but it's not impossible, and you should remember what happened on Fenris Island. Moreover, the place where a large amount of mana gathers is the best environment for crystal growth, and if the mana extracted by the entire Nogones is gathered in one place, it is not surprising that high-quality earth-source crystals will grow there. ”

The big cat man held his pipe with his paws and took a puff of mist.

"You mean," Fang Yu was a little taken aback, "someone has set up a node in Nognes to extract earth elemental magic?" And where the Art Dispute Guild and the Lizards got this batch of Earth Source Crystals? ”

"It's just a guess, but it's very likely."

"It sounds a little unsettling."

"Indeed, the turmoil and political struggles in one region have captured the full attention of this ancient kingdom. Out of sight, in the outskirts of the kingdom, shadows lurk and evil moves," Red touched his chin, "It sounds familiar. ”

Fang Yu looked at him in surprise.

The big cat man replied lightly, "I'll tell you a story about Rotao again when I find a chance." How, what are your thoughts now? ”

Fang Yu pondered for a moment, "I'm suddenly a little curious about the origin of those Earth Source Crystals. ”

"It's easy for you to find out where they came from," said the big cat man, "and how are you going to send Miss Betty to Golland?" ”

Fang Yu nodded. This unexpected news made him change his decision. He vaguely felt that behind the turmoil in the south, there was a connection between Istania and Nognes's unusual movements.

Even though the Seven Seas Brigade was preoccupied at the moment, a voice told him that it was necessary to at least investigate.

The two wander around the market, and along the way, the Lionman Paladin always claims to have found something truly good:

"It's an ancient peat that wizards used to make scribbles, and the Sinsas snake people believe it contains mystical magic."

"That's just a lie, Mr. Red, it's just an ordinary stone."

"So this ancient Sinsas coin, a rare collector's item."

"The Sinsas snake people trade gold, jade, and crystal, and they have no currency."

"Ha, I'm just testing you to see if you're sharp enough as a captain."

"Well, Mr. Red, you have the final say."

Fang Yu sighed.

However, the big cat man did just say that he would not buy it, as if he was making fun of him, and finally bought a batch of plant roots from a lizard man that he could not name.

Fang Yu looked at those black roots and asked, "What is this?" The magic plant of the Sinsas snake people? ”

"Not really," said the big cat man laughing, "but they are my magic plants, a rare form of tobacco that is dried and concocted in a special way, and the resulting flaky tobacco has a very special flavor. I thought it was only available in Rotao, but I didn't expect it to be available here. ”

"Watch your lungs, Mr. Big Catman," Fang Plover shook his head, "Smoking a little less will be good for you." ”

"Your tone is very close to Attila, maybe you are really her brother, because whether you believe it or not, maybe each of us has some shadow of ourselves in another world." Red looked at him, "Except for the hair color and ears, you and her brother look almost identical, maybe in your world, there is another me." ”

"There are no lionmen in our world, Mr. Red."

"Oh, really?" The lion man laughed, he didn't expect his theory to be self-defeating so quickly.

Fang Yu suddenly thought that there were no lion people in his world, but there were lions. He then made up a lion crawling on the savanna with a pipe in his mouth, so the painting style collapsed a little for a while.

He was thinking about these absurd things, but the big cat man on the side sighed softly, and walked forward quickly.

Fang Yu was slightly surprised, and followed forward only to find that the Lion Paladin had come to a stall, and his eyes fell on a bronze shield.

"What is this," he was a little annoyed, "another magic wizard from the Sinsas era?" ”

"It's not impossible, Ed," the big cat man rubbed his chin and narrowed his silver-gray eyes, "Why don't you go talk to the shopkeeper and ask him where this shield came from?" ”

"But there were no magicians in the Sinsas era."

"That being said, you haven't confirmed it, how would you know, Ed?"

Does this still need to be confirmed? The most recent mage was born after the invention of alchemy, when the Sinsas snake people were long gone.

But Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and suddenly heard something in the big cat's words, turned his head to look, and just saw a meaningful gaze from the other party.

He hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and gesturing to the lizard-man to ask if he could see the shield.

He was a very good learner, and within a few days of being here, he had learned almost all the language of gestures between the lizardmen and the Elector.

Use your fingers and fists to ask for a price, check that the goods are palm-up, and then point to what you want to see.

Before obtaining the owner's permission, it will cause disputes here.

The lizard-man's colorful face, with vertical pupils, glanced at him, and nodded a little coldly, indicating permission.

Fang Yu picked up the shield, no matter how he saw it, it was just an ordinary shield. But just as he was about to turn the shield over, he was suddenly stunned.

It was a sword.

All his attention had been drawn to the shield, not at all to the sword underneath it.

Of course, it was also because the sword looked so ordinary, its blade was rusty, and it looked like broken copper and iron fished out of the swamp. The only thing that has been preserved is about the gauntlets, but they are pitch black.

Fang Yu's heart moved, and he wiped his hand on the hilt of the sword, and a pattern with a complex pattern like a blooming wild rose jumped into his eyes.

This coat of arms he knows, it is called Briel coat of arms, of course, there is no such an ancient surname in the human world, this name actually represents a fairy clan.

So the identity of the sword is revealed, unless it is a well-prepared hoax.

The Enemy Destroyer, or the Enemy of the Dragon.

This is a holy sword.

His heart pounded as both Tata and Nini reacted at that moment.

Nini naturally hates the aura of the Dragon-Slaying Sword, while Miss Tata recognizes the unique craftsmanship of the Eye Gate.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and asked Miss Fairy for confirmation again, "Miss Tata, do you see?" ”

Tata nodded, "Maybe it's it, I'm a little familiar." ”

Although he didn't quite understand why it was in this place, Fang Yu raised his head after receiving an affirmative answer, looked at the lizardman, and asked directly, "Is this sword and this shield together?" ”

The lizard man nodded.

"They're good things to find from the ruins, humans."

It said in a sizzling voice.

Fang Yu pressed the surprise in his heart: "So, they are also magic guides from the Sinsas era?" ”

The lizard looked at him like an idiot, "There were no magicians in the Sinsas era, these are ancient relics, but they are just as valuable. ”

Although he was ridiculed, Fang Yu was a little sure, and the other party didn't know the true origin of this sword.

"But they're not in good condition." He said deliberately.

"It's just that the sword is not well preserved, but the shield is well preserved, human."

Seeing that the other party seemed to have the intention of selling the shield to himself alone, Fang Yu hurriedly said: "But they are a set, and no one will hang a shield on the wall alone." Maybe a museum will ask for this kind of thing, but they can't afford to pay too much. ”

The lizard-man listened a little impatiently, and sizzled a gesture, "Make an offer, human." ”

Fang Yu raised a fist, hesitated, and then stretched out another finger downward.

"Ten thousand miles," he thought to himself, no more.

Although for a holy sword, no amount of money can describe its value. But no matter how much it says, it may arouse the suspicion of the other party.

But before he could withdraw his hand, the lizard grabbed his hand.

A cold touch came from under the dry skin of the lizardman, and the other party did not make a gesture to him, but opened his mouth directly:

"Deal."

Fang Yu was taken aback, and then he realized that the lizard people of Nognes could also speak the Kaulin language so well.

But he always felt that something was wrong.

……

In fact, in the evening of the same day, the news that a fool had bought the holy sword from Gneisenwa spread.

Gnaisenwa was the name of the lizardman.

People from the lakeshore bar were almost lining up to see him.

Although everyone held back their laughter, the words were full of young people, eating a trench and growing wise.

Lady Essally laughed and said to him, "Ed, half of Pacheva knows the 'story' about the Holy Sword, why didn't you ask us before you made a move?" 10,000 miles, you can buy me, I'll work for you for a month. ”

But compared to these people, Fang Yu certainly believed Miss Tata, "What if that sword is real?" ”

"Fool, if it really gets your turn?" Essally looked at the silly boy with a look of pity, and she sighed, "Gneisenwa is just a second-class dealer, he never goes to the rainforest, and he has never seen the ruins of Sinsas. The sword was bought from the Descendants of Flor three years ago, and you guess the Descendants of Flor would be mistaken? ”

Fang Yu also couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that this thing actually came from the descendants of Flor, so they should be unlucky, this is unexpected good news.

But he looked at Lady Essally, and opened his mouth, and he couldn't say that it was really a holy sword.

They've had enough trouble.

"Lady Essally," Fang replied a little helplessly, "then you will be unlucky for me......

"Well, Ed, you have to be smart next time you're out there."

"Actually, you're either unlucky, or ...... It's a little too easy to trust people. ”

With a snort, Tianlan, who was listening on the side, suddenly laughed.

The ship's attendant also pursed her lips slightly.

Fang Yu probably understood, this was a euphemism for a fool.

But is he really stupid?

He was just too depressed to talk back.

Fang Yu just never expected that this once kind and simple lizard man could be so sinister now.
