The first moment Cizer stepped into the secret realm, he was stunned by what he saw.

A lake of the same size as the lake in the Holy Sword Academy appeared in front of him, the turquoise sky was reflected on the surface of the lake, the breeze blew, and a fallen leaf rippled on the surface of the lake, making the mirror-like lake splash a little wave.

What surprised Cizer even more was that the concentration of magic here was more than twice as high as that of the outside world, even if he stood still, Cizer could feel that the magic in the air was penetrating into his body, and a faint itching sensation spread throughout his body, making his body greatly relaxed.

If you cultivate here, you will be able to cultivate for a thousand miles in a day!

It's just that Cizer has not forgotten the purpose of this trip, according to the dean's description, the place where the holy sword is located is the very center of the secret realm, that is, the place where the magic is the strongest.

If someone else is new to the city, it will be a problem to tell which direction is the center, but this is not difficult for Cizer at all.

I saw a gray magic array on the back of Cizer's hand quickly condense, accompanied by a not majestic roar, and a small figure appeared at Cezel's feet.

"Hey, Coco!"

Cizer picked it up kindly, letting the cold scales cross his cheeks, and when he met the golden pupils, Cezel always felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Woo~~Whoa!"

Coco slapped Cezel's palm dissatisfied, as if complaining about why he hadn't called himself out sooner.

"Alright! Don't lose your temper!"

Cizer said helplessly. Coco is already three years old, and the degree of physical growth is obvious, it was only an egg the size of a palm, but now it is the length of Cizer's forearm. And after raising it for so long, Cizer already has feelings for Coco, even if Coco's combat effectiveness is not high, but he has never wanted to change to a contract beast.

Coco is a light beast, which is very consistent with Cizer's attributes, but Coco has never awakened the bloodline talent, that is, he can't use magic.

Old Merlin had tried to persuade him many times to change to a contract beast, but Coco couldn't do magic anyway, so it was no problem to keep a pet. It's just that Cizer doesn't want to do this, and he feels that it would be unfair to unilaterally break his contract with Coco.

Old Merlin had no choice but to let him go.

But now, cocoa has a big role to play.

"Coco, today we're going to a place with a lot of magic! Tell me where the magic is a little stronger, maybe there's something delicious!"

Cizer tempted Coco, although Coco didn't know magic, but her perception of various magical powers was far superior to that of other magical beasts, and Cizer even felt that this was its innate magic.

"Whew!"

But Coco didn't buy it, and raised a claw and shook it back and forth in front of Cezel.

"Good, good, a blue krill!" Cizer helplessly raised his forehead, this little thing has never eaten anything else since eating blue krill once, but blue krill is so expensive!

One even costs a silver coin!

Cizer felt that if he continued like this, he would not be able to raise Coco, after all, the amount of food it was really a bit desperate.

But now in this situation, Cizer can only compromise and agree to it first.

Having received an affirmative reply from his master, the little one honestly climbed down from Cezel's body, and then groped for something on the ground, sniffing in the air from time to time.

"Baby!"

Soon, Coco rushed in one direction, and Cizer did not dare to slack off, and followed closely behind it, for fear that the little fellow would lose himself.

The secret realm is the appearance of a forest, and Cizer followed Coco to encounter a lot of strange plants, especially mushrooms, Cizer roughly counted, there are more than 30 species!

However, Cizer did not find any traces of the elves' existence, perhaps it was too far away, or it could be that he was still a long way from his destination, Cezel speculated.

However, to Cezel's surprise, Coco soon stopped in an overgrown area, and just as Cezel was about to ask, the little one couldn't wait to dig into the ground.

Cizer looked at it for a while, and felt that Coco was not joking, so he made a wooden pickaxe out of the nearby tree and dug it up with all his might, but he still had doubts in his heart.

Will the Holy Sword be buried underground?

I don't know how long it took to dig up, but when the excavated mound of earth was already piled up behind Cizer, Cizer suddenly felt as if he had just touched something hard.

"Hmm, what is this?" Cezel pushed away the dirt around him, revealing his appearance.

It was a bluestone-paved earthen wall, buried deep in the dirt, and I don't know what was hidden beneath it.

Since Cizer had discovered this thing, he naturally couldn't give up halfway, and he wasted a lot of effort before he figured out the magic formation on the slate wall.

When he opened the bluestone wall completely, Cizer was completely shocked by the scene before him.

"Oh my God!"

Cizer muttered, silently putting down the pickaxe in his hand, showing respect for everything in front of him.

Directly below the bluestone wall was an open area, similar to the main hall of the church, and what followed made Cizer shake even more.

A large sculpture stood in the center of the cavern, and a ray of light shone through the hole that Cizer had dug and shone on the statue's face, adding to her a sense of holiness.

And her image was very different from what Cizer had seen before, with a high nose, slightly curved eyebrows, and a face so delicate that it seemed to have been carved by the creator god himself. And she was dressed in a light veil, noble and kind, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was intoxicating.

Cizer stared for a long time, only to realize that her ears were pointed.

"Elven gods?" Cizer slowly leapt from the air, countless dust scattered in the air, like tiny elves flying in the pillars of light falling from the dome.

After falling, Cizer realized that there were many seats, and it seemed that there had been a large gathering of more than 100 people.

But did the elves have a habit of worshipping the elven gods underground?

The more he explored, the more surprised Cesar became, this looked more like a large sanctuary than just a place of sacrifice!

Cizer deduced from a pile of iron pots and chopsticks stored in the pile, and if it was just a sacrifice, it wouldn't have been necessary for so many people to have a meal together, right?

Cizer even found a carved dwelling place, straw mats, and pillows in the hole on one side, which made Cizer believe that there was really a group of people, or elves, hiding in this place, hiding something.

Is there any danger from the outside world?

Cizer looked warily at the hole in the dome, and after thinking about it, he still didn't close it.

He had been walking in the forest for a long time before he came in, but not to mention the danger, he had never seen even a larger animal. Perhaps, the things that once feared these people are long gone.

But Cizer is more concerned about another issue than that.

Where did they end up? were they taken by what they were hiding from? or were they caught in some other predicament? Cezel didn't see the corpse of a single elf, so maybe they had found a new home?

Until new discoveries are made, Cizer does not dare to jump to conclusions.

However, under his repeated exploration, there was really an unexpected discovery.

......

Well, Coco found out, but Cizer shamelessly kept it for himself.

It is a long passage, and there are sketches or two on either side of the passage from time to time. It looked like a graffiti, but Cizer watched it with relish.

Merlin the Elder, who had gained a great deal of experience in the study of monuments because of his knowledge of miracles, once told Cizer that there was nothing more intuitive to the minds of the ancients than the frescoes.

On the mural in front of Cizer, two figures are depicted in front of a circle, but the two figures are slightly different, one in gold and the other in black.

Walking slowly, Cizer saw a second mural.

The black villain and the golden villain each led their own tribe, and the two tribes got along very well, which can be seen from the mixture of gold and black in their group.

The two clans have their own territories, but the difference between the clansmen is not so obvious, and the land with the same character should be the cultivated land of the clansmen, which looks like a harmonious scene.

Cizer soon saw a third painting, a painting of the two clans at war.

This painting is much more delicate than the previous two, at least the armor on their bodies is outlined, and even the physiognomy is simply sketched a few times.

It can be seen that the gold and black colors are clearly standing on the left and right sides this time, holding swords, shields, bows and arrows. There was also something like a magic array faintly appearing in the sky, and Cizer couldn't see it very clearly, and the stone layer in that part was a little badly detached, and he could only see a rough idea.

By the time of the fourth painting, there was very little to be seen, but Cizer still deduced that the gold side had the advantage, and the black side could only hide quietly, and survive.

And the fifth painting is simply a scratch, and Cizer simply cannot deduce whether it was vandalized, or whether there is no fifth painting here at all.

However, Cizer sorted out the information he knew, and probably understood that this should be the refuge of the black elves. After the defeat in the battle with the Golden Elves, some of the Black Elves established this gathering place, but why it was abandoned later is another question.

Cizer searched his mind carefully for the ancient books about the elves he had read, and found that there was no mention of the elven civil war. According to the description in the book, the elves have always been a peace-loving race, and they generally only live in their own forests and never set foot out.

Even if they encounter an invasion of foreign enemies, as long as it is not a vicious creature like the demons, they will simply drive it to the edge of the forest, and then warn it and no longer pursue it.

So when did they have a civil war?

Cizer felt that the secret realm he had explored might be more ancient than he had imagined.
