The people sitting in the room drank the tea that had just been served, and it seemed that it was still easier for humans and humans to get along with each other, and the tea was served within two minutes of a few people sitting down - when they were in the elf village before, they talked for a long time and didn't see any tea served, and it was clear that Elf had ordered someone to make tea at the beginning...... It's also possible that they don't have tea at all, and it's just symbolic to say that people are going to make tea.

"Ever since I was young, I've been seeing adventurers who want to go to Takamagahara, but in the end, they're all gone...... Legend has it that the mountains of Takamagahara contain a treasure mine that is rich enough to rival the rest of the country, and if anyone can defeat the phantom beasts on Takamagahara, they will be able to obtain the treasure mine inside. But how easy is it to get those treasure mines? If this is really possible, why hasn't anyone succeeded in the past thousands of years? ”

Ania drank tea and didn't speak, and the old woman didn't look like she was talking to Aniah, she was talking to Eunice: "Miss Holy Magician, you are still young and don't understand the preciousness of life. If you go to Takamagahara just for the money...... There are so many places to make money in this world, you can use holy magic, and you can make a lot of money just by being a doctor and saving people. Why bother fighting for money? ”

Eunice smiled awkwardly, "I'm not in it for the money...... We have to get an ore that can only be found on Mt. Takamagahara. ”

"Only on Mt. Takamagahara?" The old woman looked very smart, and she waved her hand at Eunice and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible—no one has been able to come back alive after going up to Takamagahara, how can anyone know what is on Mt. Takamagahara?" ”

The old woman was right, there was nothing else on Takamagahara Mountain that was known to the world except for the phantom beast golden lion. But what Nemos said will definitely not be wrong, because it is on this High Heaven Plains Mountain that she got the Jintuoqi ore - she and most of the powerful phantom beasts were created together by the goddess of creation back then, and they must know each other, so the golden lion will allow her to take the Jintuoqi ore. But as for Aniah's teacher...... Ania felt that even Nanemos was not the teacher's opponent, and the golden lion must have taken the Jin Tuoqi ore openly after being defeated by the teacher, right?

Wait...... Golden Lion ...... Why didn't Nemos say anything about the Golden Lion before? Although it is very likely that she thinks that Ania and the others know about the golden lion on Mt. Takamagahara, she will at least remind them to be careful when they go up the mountain, right?

Ania suddenly slapped the table excitedly and asked, "Old man! Do you know how long ago the last person went to Takamagahara? ”

The old woman wondered, "How could I know that kind of thing?" Very few of us pass by here...... The last time I went to the city to buy something, I heard about it, and it seems to have been more than ten years ago...... More than ten years ago, an unknown magician went to Takamagahara alone and never returned. Since then, we can hear the roar of a lion coming from Takamagahara every night of Akatsuki - the sound can be heard clearly in the village, even though it is still two kilometers away from the mountain. It is said that it was the last magician to go up that year that completely angered the phantom beast on the mountain, so the phantom beast would make a sound every night of the red moon to warn humans not to go up the mountain to disturb it again. ”

Don't go up the hill to bother it, right? Ania didn't think so—the man who went to the mountain must have been his teacher, who had just left undiscovered. The surrounding residents have already decided that "absolutely no one will be able to leave Takamagahara" alive, so even if his teacher walked down in the open, no one would think that he was the one who went up the mountain before.

And just like when the teacher went to the fantasy island, he separated all the powerful phantom beasts on it to protect the future Ania and them, he must have done something on Mt. Takamagahara. Ania believed in his teacher, and he was very likely to beat the phantom beast Golden Lion half to death, so in order to prevent anyone from going up the mountain and finding himself weak, the Golden Lion deliberately roared in Akatsuki to warn the people around him not to go up the mountain.

Akatsuki...... It happens to be the red moon tonight, so why don't you go up the mountain tonight?

……

It was night, and the people walking on the road looked up at the three moons in the sky that should have been there, and only the big red moon remained, and Andrei asked Ania uneasily, "Are you sure we really want to go up?" The golden lion is a phantom beast - although we escaped by the unicorn and were not killed by Nemos, Charutaos also lost to us...... In a sense. But our strength is definitely not the opponent of the phantom beast who is really willing to do it, and the golden lion is not as easy to talk as those guys before. ”

Ania still said confidently: "It's okay, isn't it just a golden lion?" Even if we can't beat it, can't we run? ”

No, it's obvious that you can't run, right? Who else here but Regsey can outrun a lion? Alexander?

Although he wanted to complain like this, Zhen Xiang knew that since Ania was so confident, he must be absolutely sure, and if it really didn't work, there were still the two scrolls left by Tang Zhihang, right? When the time comes, there should be a way to open a scroll, right?

Speaking of scrolls, when Zhen Xiang and Ania were packing their luggage before, they found that the scroll that Ania used when facing the unicorn was still in an unused state, so when they were on the road during the day, they also asked Nirmos what the situation was. Nemos explained that this scroll absorbed the unicorn's thunder and lightning magic, and if it was opened again, it would be able to release the unicorn's powerful magic - of course, because it was sealed through special circumstances, the stability of this scroll was very poor, and it was very likely that the user would be electrocuted when activated......

So Ania threw the scroll to Zhen Xiang very irresponsibly and said, "If there is danger in the future, if we are not by your side, you can use this." ”

Use a fart, if this thing is released, Zhen Xiang himself will be hacked to death, okay?

But Zhen Xiang still put the scroll away - after all, being able to use the unicorn's powerful thunder and lightning magic, if he was really desperate, he might be able to use it to fight.

"Roar!" Just as they were heading towards the mountain, a sudden strong air flow rushing down from the mountain almost knocked everyone down, and the loud noise startled the birds in the forest into the sky, as if it was a sign of something.

Ania clenched the magic wand a little tighter - is such a guy really in a weak state? Could it be that I guessed wrong? The teacher didn't hurt it? Or maybe it's healed from its injuries......

But no matter what, just relying on the momentum of this roar is definitely not something that Ania and them can provoke, so it is better to go back obediently......

Thinking so, Ania turned around and was about to leave with everyone, but at this moment, a huge creature descended from the sky and blocked everyone. Under the reflection of the red moon, everyone saw the body of the creature in front of them clearly.

The black hair was interspersed with a few golden manes, and it wasn't as large as Charutaos' to be intimidating. The four-legged beast in front of him looked like it was only five or six meters long, but even if it was only five or six meters, it was definitely enough to make normal people feel awe.

It is a huge lion, the lion has a golden body, but the mane is only a small part of gold, which is very different from the ordinary lion.

It took a step closer to the crowd, and then a human voice came out of the lion's mouth: "Are you also adventurers who want to come up to find the legendary gem?" ”

Ania hugged her magic wand and smiled bitterly and said, "I...... We're just passing through here...... What is this place? ”

"You don't know where this is to break in?" The lion was even more amused: "I thought you were greedy people who peeked into the gems on it......"

"We don't know, we don't know what the place is! We've disturbed your rest, but can you let us go back? We're just ......."

"This is Takamagahara!" The golden lion suddenly interrupted Ania and said, "Now you know what kind of place this is, right?" Now that you know where this is, you can't leave...... I will never let any human who sets foot on High Heaven Gagabara leave alive! ”

After saying that, the golden lion's claws pounced on Aniah, even if its claws were not as huge as Charutaos, but if it slapped Ania like this, Aniah's small body would definitely be shattered.

Before Ania panicked and didn't have time to release the magic, a figure came out from behind to block the golden lion's claws - Regsi's hair stood on end, but the golden lion's claws were not pierced even if they collided with it, and it seemed that the golden lion's skin was much harder than Regsi's hair.

With a few "pong" sounds, the hairs on Regasi's body were broken a few times, and it stood in front of Ania and roared at the golden lion, as if to say, "If you want to hurt her, defeat me first".

The Golden Lion didn't care about Regsy at first, but when he saw that Regsi had blocked his attack for Aniah, he said with interest, "Oh? As a monster, you're going to be mixed up with humans...... Looks like this human is a very interesting guy...... But no matter how funny it is, you who see me can't leave alive! ”
