From a path that is more rugged than the valley to the cliff near the sea, I don't know who has carved such a small path in the rocks little by little. At the end of the road is a very old but delicate house, the stone pillars and stone walls made of huge stones have long been mottled by the combined erosion of the sea and the sea breeze, and the cracked stone pillars and stone walls make people look like dangerous buildings at first glance. And on one side of the house is a swarthy hole, flexible weeds all over the hole to show the desolation of this place, in the sea breeze blowing from time to time from the inside of the cave whining low sound, although it is the first time to come here, but Lixia always felt that the old and exquisite house in front of her is just the existence of the doorman, more precisely, to provide a place for the doorman to live because of this, from the moment he stepped on the cliff, the sense of existence of this place has been concentrated in the seemingly inconspicuous cave, There was obviously a sound of wind in it, but it was unusually dark, and the sunlight above only lingered around the entrance of the cave as if it was afraid of this cave, standing outside the cave and looking inside, except for the light within seven or eight centimeters from the entrance of the cave, the deeper part was completely shrouded in darkness.

"That's what you're for, right?" Lixia asked, turning to Ike. "What's in there?"

"Well, specifically, the inside of the cave and what the elders know." Ike replied. "There is an enchantment sealed outside the entrance of the cave, and you can't see the inside of the cave from the outside, it's the same as the spirit caves that exist all over the empire, to be precise, its body is sealed in other planes, and this is just the entrance."

"Compare the remnants of those witches with the holy land left by the ancestors." The door of the old stone house was gently pushed open, and the old man walked out of the house with an unhappy face, looking at himself in astonishment and looking at Lixia, who looked at the only path on this cliff, with a smug smile on her face, "Don't think about it, little girl, I didn't come from the road behind you, but that road can only come from a bad old man like me, and if you want to come, you can only come from that path, but now the young people have not come to repair this road and the house for a long time, and it has become like this over time." ”

"Obviously, Elder is that you don't want to let Lin and them come over, saying that it is sabotage and causing destruction or something..."

"What do those clumsy guys do besides fighting and practicing martial arts?" The old man waited for Ike to take a look and replied, "Don't be embarrassed in front of your ancestors if you can't even clean well, you can take it out... How is he? ”

"It's still all over the world now, but when I came, I sent a message to my friends to gather, they should meet together, the empire has been in chaos recently, and even the Huang Demon City and the Riding God from hundreds of years ago have appeared, Elder, you are well-informed, you should know some of the information, right?" Finally seized the opportunity, Ike asked repeatedly.

"Riding God... It's a nostalgic word. The old man sighed with emotion, "Actually, I don't know much about the god of riding, I have never been out of the village in my life, and I have obtained information from the outside world in various ways, but in my time, it is not a big deal to know the information of the god of riding, after all, that civil war has affected the entire empire, even if it is this valley, you can see gunsmoke from time to time nearby, and such a desolate place can be filled with war, not to mention those prosperous cities, From time to time, news about the commanders of the two armies driving huge knights to fight can come out from any corner of the empire, but I really don't know the specific location of the riders and other information, the only thing that can be clear is that they are all products made of goblins, in order to divide and seal the power of the treasure left by the goddess of the sky, and the witch divides the power of the treasure into the container and seals it everywhere in the empire, which is what I heard from the elder at the beginning. It's just that for some reason, the witches and goblins gradually faded out of people's sight after sealing the Arcana Treasure, until they recently returned to my sight. ”

"The Elder has seen the Witch Clan?" Ike was stunned, "Have they been here?" ”

"This village is a forbidden place for witches, and they won't let them in even if they want to." The old man replied angrily: "The reason why I found out is because of your relationship." Hey boy, the one who has been following you here is the current patriarch of the witch clan, especially the true ancestor of a vampire, although I don't know how you offended her, but she seems to be a little angry with you. The old man said with a gloating expression, "You have to be careful, vampires are everywhere, although I can still protect you in the village, but once you leave the village, you should worry about not being sucked by vampires when you sleep." ”

"Vampires? Just kidding, right? Ike frowned: "That kind of guy really exists?" ”

"Of course there is, just like I am in front of you, just like the village you see, there are countless things in this world that you don't know, don't treat your ignorance as if it doesn't exist." The old man seemed to feel a little impatient, took the lead and walked to the entrance of the cave, closed his eyes and pressed his right hand on the transparent enchantment in front of the cave entrance, reverently chanting some obscure scriptures that could not be heard at all, as the sound became louder and louder, the old man's feet suddenly lit up circle after circle of formations, with the lighting of the formation under his feet, the right hand pressed on the enchantment also emitted a bright light, shining on the transparent enchantment, and soon formed a "door" made of light.

"This is a sacred place created by the ancestors, and it is also a place where every clansman who wants to go out of the village must challenge, like this place, the inside of the cave is made of multiple planes, the entrance of the cave is only a bridge, no one knows what you will encounter in this cave, what will happen, all the opponents are from your heart, Ike Kid has already entered it, I won't say more. And little Lixia, since you are the first to come to this place, it is up to you to decide whether you want to go in or not, if you don't want to go in, I can ask the people from the village to come and take you to live in the village for a while, or send you out of this valley, after the light of the door is gone, it will take about a month for the next time it is opened. The old man looked at Lixia and spoke reverently.

"Can you only become stronger if you win the challenge?" Lixia glanced at the hole and turned to ask.

"I don't know." The old man replied honestly, "There are both those who return with a full load like a boy, and those who return empty-handed, victory is not a way to gain strength, he is just a result, if you really want to become stronger, you should care more about the passage." ”

“。。。 I see, I'm going to go in too. After taking a deep breath, Lixia had a determined look in her eyes.

"Then go in, boys." The old man smiled slightly, and with a slight pull of his right hand placed on the barrier, the door made of light was immediately opened, and a space as bright as day appeared inside the door.

"May the power of the gods bless you."
