Eldraine. Caroline's request was abrupt.

There is a huge hole in her words, a female scholar, with only a shy Pik Jing by her side, can cross the continent from Silvermoon City to Misty Zono?

Whoever believes these words is stupid. It was just a meeting in Pingshui, and Charles didn't bother to expose the lies she had casually made, but now that the female scholar actually made a request to go with her, the priest couldn't help but laugh after being stunned.

Eldraine. Caroline's identity is suspicious, and the infiltration of an unknown scholar in an otherwise clean squad is like a ticking time bomb. Who knows if she has any enemies, or if she has some intentions in her own right. Charles didn't want to jump into a pit on the last leg of the 'Dawn Hill', knowing that he was already hostile to the Simon family, and that vampire kingdom could send powerful pursuers to capture Mahi at any time.

"I refuse."

Charles thought for a moment, then shook his head decisively.

"I'm not going to trouble your team." The female scholar seemed to know Charles's concerns, and her amber eyes had a smile that seemed to be insightful, "and...... I can't say I can help. ”

"Help?" Charles looked the female scholar up and down, and at one point tried to throw out his scouting skills to extract her character card, but his hunch told Charles that the consequences of doing so would be terrible, and he didn't dare to move.

On the face of it, Eldraine. Caroline is an ordinary female scholar, with only the breath of a book on her body, and no arcane energy fluctuations, but the existence of the female Pik Jing Lily is the biggest suspicion.

It is impossible for an ordinary person to make a contract with a goblin.

A dishonest reason, it is enough. Charles was about to say no for the second time, but he didn't say anything. The system jumped out and stopped it.

"Ding."

"There's a new mission." ???????

Charles's mind was full of question marks. The system did not ask him if he accepted the assignment as is customary. Instead, it directly prompts that there is a new task. Nima forced the mission over again?

His face darkened, and he summoned the quest panel. Sure enough, I saw a new mission:

[The Tree of Entanglement - Scholars of Silvermoon City]

[Description: Must escort the scholar Eldraine in Silvermoon City. Caroline arrives at the Hill of Dawn, she has a deep knowledge of elven culture, and you won't regret taking her along. 】

[Mission reward: 100 general experience points.] 】”

Green Mission!

After a few closer looks, Charles noticed that the words on his retina still glowed green.

"At least give a purple quality to the task that was forcibly stuffed!" Charles couldn't help but gnash his teeth at the main brain system.

When he saw that Balasa and 'Night Rain and Listening to the Wind' looked also very strange, he cried and laughed, "You have also received a task?" ”

"Hmm."

Both paladins nodded.

"Okay." Charles shrugged.

The system doesn't say what to do if the green quest is ignored, and the text in the quest description just happens to alert Charles. Since Eldraine. Caroline studied ancient elven culture, so taking her to the 'Hill of Dawn' may be really useful. After all, the ruins solve the mystery or something. Passing the relevant knowledge test is required.

The rest of the night was peaceful.

The Tree of Entangled is chaotic on the surface, where good and evil coexist, but under the domination of the Church of Elven Gods, no one dares to make trouble in the town.

The team unexpectedly had a sixth member, and Charles decided to rest in the afternoon and set off the next day.

After replenishing some dry food and water, and buying some camping supplies, including vigilance spell scrolls, traps, etc., several players in the party ignored the tedious tasks in the town that had not yet been cleared. Leave the ancient town early the next morning.

"Woo......"

In the hurry, the female scholar's movement speed makes Charles helpless. She could only sit on Zeke's wolf back and get down and walk on her own.

Normally, the proud wolf lord would not allow a knight other than his master to sit on its back, but the female scholar smiled and touched its fur, and Zeke lay down and whimpered, as if begging for mercy.

"Strange."

After descending and walking away, Charles noticed that after leaving the 'Entangled Tree', the feeling of being watched became stronger and stronger.

"Isn't there a well-intentioned wanderer coming along?" Charles didn't have time to play peek-a-boo with these guys, and ordered the team to speed up their pace and speed through the forest.

Swish.

A black figure swept through the grass more than a hundred meters away, standing in the shadows, looking at the distant adventure team, and the evil eyes were full of cold colors.

"I sense ......" the wanderer let out a low chuckle as he touched a hot trinket in his arms.

……

"Ding, you've discovered the Hill of Dawn."

The fog on the map dissipated, and if you look at the terrain, you can see that a gentle hill suddenly appears in the forest, stretching for several kilometers.

The trees suddenly became full at the edge of the hill, and the people in the forest walked in this direction, and it felt like they had stepped out of the night and ushered in the dawn.

The team stood on a large stone monument on the hillside, and Charles looked left and right, amazed.

The others were already screaming. This hilly area gives people an air of historical desolation, with stone monuments of different shapes, distributed along the slope of the hills, layer after layer. When everyone looked at the top of the mountain, they seemed to see the ancient elf statues arranged in order.

"It's too big."

The aristocratic girl Cathy looked left and right, frowning in distress, "There are so many ancient stone tablets here, which one hides the secret words of the Yaling ruins?" ”

"Some of the steles have the scent of necromancy hidden underneath them." Barraza drew his sword.

"Well, the function of some stone tablets is estimated to be seals, and there are once powerful elven warriors buried underneath." Charles nodded, he knew there was no peace under the hill when he arrived.

Female scholar Ai Zhuo. Caroline didn't speak, crouched down to observe the huge stone tablet at the team's feet, wiped the dirt on it, and read a row of ancient elven text that was still legible:

“…… A paradise for the Elves of the Pioneers, whose bones are buried in the Sacred Hill after their slumber, an eternal pilgrimage to the original discoverer of the Dawn continent. ”

"Hail to the King of Yaling."

With that, the female scholar stood up, patted the dirt off her hands, and looked out at the distant hills.

"Let's set up camp first—" Charles caught a glimpse of the glint in Eldraine's eyes, and his heart moved, and he told Mahi, Barazar, and Nightrain to prepare the camp.

When the three of them were gone, only the priest, the noble lady, the female scholar, and her Pico spirit Lily were left on the stele.

"Miss Eldraine, do you have anything to say?" Charles chuckled.

Upon arrival at the 'Hill of Dawn', escort Eldraine. Caroline's green quest was automatically completed, and there was also an update on Cathy's [Carol's Glory] quest.

"The secret words of the opening of the ruins are hidden in the stone tablets that are all over the mountains...... If you want to open the ruins quickly, please help me. The female scholar's voice was still soft.

"How can I help?" Charles asked in a quiet voice.

"I'll mark each of the Whisper Tablets specifically, except for the Bloodess and the Warlock Lady, you three Holy Arrivals must separate and find the Tablet on the hill."

The female scholar smiled: "Be careful, after a long time, the protective power of the stele may have changed. After you pull out the stone stele, you may release the souls of the dead underground, or you may summon otherworldly monsters...... In short, no matter what happens, the three of you have to work it out on your own. ”

After her words fell, not only Charles, who was standing next to her, received a mission prompt, and Balasa and 'Listen to the Wind in the Night Rain', who were setting up camp at the edge of the woodland below the mountain, also automatically received a quest about the Secret Whisper Stone.
