After spending a long time in the Misty Forest, Kist will feel that this forest filled with thick fog has a different style, unlike the endless farmland at the foot of Sunset Mountain, the forest is always a dense jungle, and the foliage is dark green at a glance.

Old Man Mousse's hut is in the southwest corner of the Misty Forest, which is actually not far from the Morro River, but the special environment of the Misty Forest, few people will enter here, in fact, for so many days, there are only two living people in the world, one is Feida and the other is Mousse.

Old Man Mousse's cabin was only a small one from the outside, but he didn't expect that there was a hole in the ground inside the house. That day, he followed Mousse into the underground, and was shocked to find that there was a huge stone room underground, with rows of bookshelves, neatly arranged. Each bookshelf is more than two people tall and is carefully made of pear blossom wood.

"This is the plantation knowledge of the elves, this is the metallurgical knowledge of the dwarves, these are the court secrets of the Magic Empire, these are the continental warfare, and these, this is the Taoluo technique. As he walked forward with the two of them, he pointed to the bookshelves and explained to Koster and Feida. In the end, Feida did not listen to Caster's orders, and followed her into the underground, and Caster had nothing to say, motioning for her to follow quietly behind her.

Kerst looked carefully at the books on the shelves, all of them were wrapped in bison skin, and the pages were delicate parchment, which would not rot for hundreds of years if not deliberately damaged.

"These are all treasured by my family, which have been treasured for hundreds of years, and our entire family has been guarding these materials. ”

"Grandma Mousse, as a 'knowledge keeper', have you read all these books?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it, I've seen it, I've remembered it all. Old Man Mousse explained.

"Ahh

Seeing that the two of them had stopped, the old man Mousse turned around and urged, "I don't remember the content of these books, what else is it called a knowledge guardian." Don't worry, when you become a guardian, there will be a way. ”

Feida secretly tugged at Kerth's arm, "You don't really want to be this Guardian, do you?"

"Shhh But the book here is very attractive to me, but I don't know if she will show me if I don't agree to be this guardian. Feida, you say, this guardian doesn't seem to need to do anything, just protect these books. ”

As she spoke, Mousse had led the two of them through the rows of bookshelves to the end of the room. At the end of the stone wall, a round stone ring is inlaid on the stone wall, and in the middle of the stone ring, there is a fist-sized magic crystal, inlaid on a metal plate, the metal silver is shining, and it is the silver of Se Yin.

Mousse stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pressed on the magic crystal, then took a step back, only to see the magic crystal shine a few times, and after a rumbling roar, the round stone ring actually turned, revealing a hole, "Come in with me." After speaking, he didn't wait for the two of them, and walked in.

Glancing at each other, Green pulled Feida with him.

Inside, there is a smaller stone room, and on the wall, mysterious runes are painted, and the purple light flashes and flashes, which looks somewhat similar to those runes in the Yongquan Palace of the Great Elf King.

"These were made by elven friends for my family, and the things in this stone chamber are very important, and these runes are actually an important magical protective shield. The ancestors of the family, no matter which country on the mainland they lived in, would return to this place at the end of their lives to carry out the inheritance. ”

"Is there anything magical about this stone chamber?" asked Mousse.

"This is where the inheritance is, and the special is the spiritual magic on this wall, and I can't explain it clearly in a sentence or two. However, it is only by staying here that a Guardian is truly a Guardian. ”

Caster didn't understand at all, and neither did Ferda.

For the next few days, Koster and Ferda stayed at Mousse's hut. After losing a copy of "Introduction to Elven Martial Arts" to Feida, Feida was kicked out to practice martial arts on her own, and in Mousse's words, the matter of the guardian is only related to Casther.

"Grandma Mousse, you know, I just want to come here and learn what Grimm calls the Tao Strategy, and the Elf King has also suggested that I come, can I just learn not to be a guardian. ”

"Don't talk about this," Mousse interrupted Cast, "and you know what a trick is?"

Kester shook his head.

"Actually, the Tao Strategy Technique is not the original product of our continent, can you believe it?"

Kerst opened his mouth wide and was amazed.

"The art of tautonomy is actually a book dedicated to the art of war. This book was originally handed over to the first Knowledge Keeper by the First Magic Guardian. It is said that the first generation of magic guardians, one day in the long sea, there was a loud noise in the sky, a huge fireball fell from the sky, the fireball wrapped in flames, at a very high speed through the sky, boom into the long sea, igniting a huge water vapor. The original Guardian of Magic, who was not far away at the time, was driven by curiosity to check it out, and as expected, the fireball was indeed a meteorite. ”

"Meteorite, it came from outer space, it's the same thing as the red sun and the blue sun. ”

"Yes, we all know by now that meteorites are also planets, the same as the red and blue suns on our heads, but at that time, it was more than a thousand years ago, and the magic guardians didn't know it. In that dark meteorite, there was a transparent glass-like thing inlaid with a book inside. The paper of that book is not like our parchment, but the colored pages with a little bit of hardness.

With great effort, the original Guardian of Magic dug up the transparent glass from the meteorite and obtained the book. The book flowers are extremely beautiful, and on the cover, there are four square-shaped patterns, which no one can understand. In the pages of the book, there are also various square graphics, which I can't understand. ”

"Ah, I can't understand it, how did it become like this?"

"Although those square graphics are incomprehensible, those accompanying pictures, drawing patterns of various villains, were still recognized by the first generation of knowledge keepers. Did I tell you that the first Guardian used to be the smartest and wisest human on this continent, and he could see from the patterns that these were all graphics depicting war scenes and war tactics. ”

"Then how did it become a trick?"

"That's thanks to the war in the Magic Empire. At the beginning of the war in the Magic Empire, at first it was just the disagreement of some nobles within the empire, which caused a civil war that swept the entire continent, and the later rebel coalition army was just a few slaves who resisted tyranny at first, and the army they formed had no military literacy, and they were killed by the Magic Empire without any suspense. ”

"So, the first Guardian of Knowledge, joined the Rebel Alliance?"

Old Man Mousse nodded, "That's right, those patterns in the book are very clever tactics, and with the addition of the Knowledge Guardian, the strategic level of the coalition forces has skyrocketed, and they have quickly won several battles to turn the tide." Later, people admired the knowledge keeper very much, and after the rumor spread the rumor, the knowledge keeper had a clever knowledge 'taoluo', which spread on the mainland, and my family did not deny all this. ”

"Why is that?"

"It's not clear. ”

Kerst listened to Old Man Mousse's story and fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly raised his head, "No, the history books of the continent say that in the first continental war, the side of the rebel coalition, the first was the rebel army of the Magic Empire, the slave army, the scholar alliance and the barbarian tribe, I haven't heard of any knowledge guardians." ”

Old Man Mousse smiled, "Of course, I told you a long time ago that the guardian system was established after the war, and before the war, my ancestor was also an ordinary person, of course, he has a good elf friend, and he is smart enough." ”

"Then I still haven't heard his name, or is it her?"

"Oh, child", Mousse shook her head, "you must have heard of it, don't you have any impression of the 'military advisors' of the Rebel Alliance?"

Kster gasped and asked hesitantly, "Could it be the legendary military advisor who was dressed in black and robed and commanded the six major battles (Note 1), but mysteriously disappeared before the last battle and has never been traced!" ”

Mousse nodded, "That's right, it's the military advisor, the military advisor is the first guardian of knowledge, and he is the gravedigger of the Magic Empire." After his disappearance, his descendants continued to walk the continent, and the name of Taoluo became more and more famous. However, these heirs always disappear after becoming famous, which is why Taoluo is so mysterious. ”

"But why did he disappear in the first place?" Kerst still didn't understand, "Could it be that he was assassinated?"

"Smack!" Old Man Mousse tapped Koster's head, "What do you think, if he dies, where did I come from!"

Kster scratched his head embarrassedly, he forgot that the military advisor was the first generation of knowledge guardians, and the family of knowledge guardians has been passed down for thousands of years.

"As for why he disappeared, it has something to do with the spiritual magic he cultivated at the beginning. Old Man Mousse continued.

Cast listened intently, and suddenly he stretched out his hand to interrupt Mousse's words and pointed at the old man Mousse, "Grandma Mousse, that, why do I feel that something is wrong with your face, are you uncomfortable?"

"It's uncomfortable, no, what's wrong with my face?"

"However, some of your face is not the right color!"

"The color is not normal, how is it not normal?"

"How did it turn green!" Kerst yelled, and suddenly something strange had happened, and Kerst stood up in horror, pointing at Mousse, trembling a little.

Mousse also instantly showed a frightened expression, "Oops! The timing is not good!"

Note 1: In the final moments of the Magic Empire, the rebel coalition fought six decisive battles with the Magic Empire's armies, and the defeat of these six decisive battles ultimately led to the fall of the Magic Empire.
