A decadent aura swept over Aurelian.

The streets of the Forgotten Lands were filled with a chilling dead silence, but more than that silence was the voice in her belly.

Aurelian shook her head, pushing her discomfort out of her mind, concentrating on the dangers lurking in the ruins.

The Elders, in order to warn them to stay away from the Forgotten Lands and the human world, had heard legends about the Forgotten Lands since she was a child.

Legend has it that this was built by dangerous blasphemers who, in their quest for the truth, spied on 'beings' they shouldn't have seen, causing the blasphemers to turn the entire city into a kind of flesh and blood monster.

The elders used all the words that Aurelian found disgusting when describing the monster, and Aurelian believed that she would feel very disgusted if she encountered such a monster in reality, but unfortunately there was nothing in her stomach to make her vomit.

"Sister Aurelian, it seems like it's been a long time since there was any sign of biological activity here."

An elven inspector scratched her hand over the dust on the ground, but not long after she said this, Aurelian saw the footprints of someone on the road not far away.

"Don't talk."

Aurelian raised her hand slightly, signaling the four inspectors behind her to remain quiet.

The footprints on the ground stretched all the way to the depths of the Forgotten Lands, and from the size of the footprints they looked like Al's, and there were three other people who followed her?

Aurelian focused her attention, the High Elves' superior hearing allowing her to catch the cacophony of sounds coming from the depths of the Forgotten Lands.

The sound of the flames burning was intertwined with the sound of the liquid gradually bubbling, and if Aurelian listened closely, she could still hear the creepy ... Chewing sounds!

Isn't it true that there are monsters inhabiting the Forgotten Lands?

Aurelian shuddered inexplicably, but she took on the role of a team leader, carefully leading the patrol into the depths of the Forgotten Lands.

Less than ten minutes later, Aurelian led the patrol to the end of the Forgotten Lands.

In the center of the Forgotten Lands is a large prototype building, and the streets on both sides start with this building and extend outward.

"Sister Aurelian, look where!"

An inspector noticed something unusual about a building on the side of the street, which was really... It's so clean.

"The voice is coming from there."

Aurelian's long ears twitched, and she could clearly hear swallowing and chewing coming from inside.

There were no windows on the front of the building, only a carefully polished door that had only opened a small slit, as if to tell Aurelian that the door was not locked.

"Be prepared."

Aurelian didn't go straight to the door, but went around the building to take a look, and through the windows on the second floor of the building, she could only vaguely see the lights inside, and the view of the lobby on the first floor was blocked by the corridor.

Eventually, Aurelian approached the door with her patrol team, the silver inscription already condensed on her longbow, and as Aurelian prepared to open the door, the team behind her prepared to attack.

The sounds of chewing and swallowing became clearer and clearer, especially the sound of bones being crushed, and Aurelian tensed.

Aurelian exhaled slightly, opened the door abruptly, opened the longbow, and aimed inside!

Aurelian didn't see a monster with a twisted body in the building, but... Instead, I saw a High Elf devouring the flesh and blood of living beings.

"Al!"

Aurelian looked in amazement at the High Elves sitting in the center of the hall, her mouth full of red, viscous liquid, and a large pile of plates in her hand.

This shouldn't be the way High Elves should eat! Could it be that the child was corrupted by monsters?

The view from inside the building brought Aurelian back to her senses from that terrifying vision, because the view inside the building was so different from the eerie atmosphere of the Forgotten Lands!

The pure white walls are lined with green leaves and branches, and the chandelier on the ceiling glows orange and gives it a strange sense of warmth.

Where the hell is this? Aurelian glanced behind her, and she could be sure that behind her was the eerie Forgotten Lands.

Could it be that this door is some kind of teleportation array?

A flood of questions swept over Aurelian, and before she could figure out what was going on, an unfamiliar voice rang in her ears.

"Welcome to the Hearthstone Tavern, do you need anything?"

"Hearthstone Tavern?"

Aurelian looked abruptly at where the voice came from, a... The human male was standing there looking at him with a smile on his face.

"My name is Josieu Arnorod, and this is the tavern I opened." Qiao Xiu looked at the four High Elves and introduced themselves in a friendly tone.

"Human... Is what the Council of Elders says true? ”

After Aurelian judged Qiao Xiu's identity, he instantly took a step back, pulled the bowstring in his hand, and aimed the arrow at Qiao Xiu.

"This young lady... Just because you're a guest at this tavern doesn't mean you can behave so rudely. ”

Qiao Xiu looked at the arrow, and the expression on his face did not change at all.

"Get out of here! Athur Cro's invaders. ”

Aurelian issued a stern warning to Jossiu.

"Intruders? But your sacred tree invited me here. Qiao Xiu said.

"The Sacred Tree?"

"Sister Aurelian, don't be fooled by him."

Another member of the patrol team reminded Aurelian that Aurelian instantly came back to his senses and did not hesitate, and directly aimed the arrow at the position of Qiao Xiu's leg and released the bowstring.

But just a second before she was aiming, her vision suddenly drifted for a moment, and then... She shot off, a little off-the-beaten!

The arrows she shot destroyed a round table not far away.

Aurelian clutched her forehead, she knew that she was a little weak from hunger now, but that didn't mean she would make such a lowly mistake.

She turned her head sideways and noticed that there was a human standing behind Qiao Xiu, and the lilac inscription overflowing from the other party's hand had just disappeared.

Magic that affects the spirit?

Anyway, Aurelian had no intention of stopping her attacks, and she was about to use coercive means to drive the humans away......

"I'd like to see more customers come to this new store, but I'm not welcome people like you who are rude."

Qiao Xiu snapped his fingers slightly, this time Qiao Xiu didn't make a move himself, and Aurelian's movements stopped there at this moment.

Frost Elves? Aurelian looked up and saw an elf with long silver-white hair appear on the second floor, a feature only frost elves have, but the other person's pupils were golden vertical pupils.

The moment Aurelian made eye contact with the frost elf, her body froze there, and before she could react, a large amount of frost suddenly condensed on the ground and imprisoned her and the other patrol members there.

The frost slowly spread through her body, and it was too late for Aurelian to struggle, except for her head... The rest of her body was imprisoned in a cage of ice.

"It's much more obedient that way." Qiao Xiu said.
