"Next to the abyss of hell, there is a lightless land covered in eons of ice, unusually dark and cold; It is said that the most powerful demons in Hell can crawl out of the Endless Abyss to reach that place, which is a zone of death where demons can gain powers comparable to those of gods! ”

The wizard spoke in a groaning voice what he knew:

"The legend of the elves, on the other hand, believes that it is a sacred place for the suppression of evil and the last barrier against the invasion of darkness into the world; In that place lies the origin of the world, a magical giant tree called Yggtrasil. ”

After saying this, he found that the female demon and the little girl next to him fell into a long silence.

"Master, it seems to be a little different from what we know."

The black-clothed little Lori grabbed the corner of Xia's clothes and said:

"Whether in mythology or in the records of the elves, the World Tree grew in Hosenheim, and the city of the elves was built around it, and it is also an eternal symbol of life and wisdom; However, the wizard says that the giant tree grows in the Sanctuary of the Dead, which conflicts with the hint in the main quest. ”

"If there is a real conflict, then the wizard's words are false." Xia pondered for a long time and said in his mind:

"But we didn't find the World Tree in Hosenheim...... The main quest originally says 'Please go to the ancient elven ruins and obtain elemental mana shards from the Tree of Yggdrasil (the World Tree)', but it does not say that the World Tree must be inside the elven ruins, which is more likely to mean that we should look for clues about it. ”

"Didn't you feel the breath of elemental magic shards on Black Calamity?"

She touched the head of the little Lori in black:

"And that purple-black space circle is connected to it, and the wizard's words also prove that the space circle is the entrance to a certain pathway, and if you put it together, maybe there is really such a place in the world as the Sanctuary of the Dead...... As for who is right and who is wrong between the elves and the demons, that is another matter, after all, demons can also gain power through the shards of the gods. ”

"But there's one more point!"

Natsu stared at the wizard's soul and said:

"Even if the road to the end really exists, it should have nothing to do with the key in the treasure chest, that old guy Miles would never give the treasure to others so lightly, this wizard called Kilrondo should have been deceived."

"So what about now, master, shall we put the wizard back? Sue sù that he was actually deceived by the village chief, and asked him to ask again about the whereabouts of the real treasure......"

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by Xia.

"What's the difference between that and us asking in person? Do you think the system will leave such an obvious hole for you to drill into, take that box out. ”

Natsu put the little lori in black in the air and spread her legs apart, and Stephanie carefully shook her skirt, and the gorgeous box fell between her legs.

"Telekinesis Manipulation!"

Xia used his superpower to levitate the box behind him, and tugged at the gray magic line on his hand:

"Kilrondo, you seem to have said something interesting just now in order to survive...... Could you please say it again? ”

……

"Master, it's a shame that we just send the box back."

The black-clothed little Lori flew behind Xia, looked at the box and said:

"That key inside is an artifact......

"It's an artifact that you have to use too, otherwise it looks good there."

Xia said angrily:

"And compared to the Fragment of God, which is more important than this key or it? I think you're going to get rid of your money-hungry habit. ”

"I'm greedy for money for your own good, master."

As soon as she heard the topic related to the shards of the gods, the little Lori in black immediately changed her attitude and hugged her arms and sprinkled coquettishly.

"It's kind of interesting to say."

Natsu looked at the dark village in front of him:

"If you think about it, there are some magical trees in many stories, the tree of life, the tree of distinguishing between good and evil, the Bodhi tree, the spiritual tree, and the sky tree...... I've told you before that Yggdrasil has the same pronunciation as a mythical tree on Earth, as does the name of Avalon; But apart from the same name, the description is far from the same. ”

"That myth is interesting, master."

The little Lori in black flew from her left to the right and leaned on her shoulder:

"Master, when will you tell me the rest?"

"Let's finish the matter in front of us first."

Natsu whistled.

The white chirping bird came galloping from the night, followed by a panting Ron.

"Sister...... Sister! ”

Ron came to her breathlessly, bent over and gasping for a long time, looked up and wiped his sweat and said:

"Yours is a fast bird...... My dignified swordsman can't catch up with it, what kind of breed is it? I'm going to find one another day. ”

He looked enviously at the chirping bird, which was now full of wings and looked majestic, and the latter noticed his gaze and chirped triumphantly.

"I remember you didn't want to ride a leopard."

Natsu hovered the box behind him and jumped on the back of the chirping bird:

"I'll help you find one another day, but I can't guarantee that I can find it, there don't seem to be many such monsters."

"Leopards can't be brought into the city."

Ron touched his head:

"The beauties of the city won't be able to see it......"

"Then try to become a strong man who makes the nobles dare not stop you."

Xia touched the white feathers of the chirp bird, and rode it slowly forward:

"I can't even catch up with a single demonic beast, how can I venture on the continent in the future? With your current level, just run into a powerful monster and hang up. ”

"Silver-haired sister, what do you mean when you're hanging?"

"If you hang up, you're dead, you know?"

"I seem to understand a little...... I don't seem to understand. ”

Ron replied confusedly.

"Have you memorized everything you were taught before?"

Xia didn't mean to talk to him:

"If you leak out of your mouth for a while, I won't teach you swordsmanship."

"Remember, don't worry!"

Ron thumped his chest:

"Isn't it just a few words? I, Ron, am a genius to never forget! ”

"That's good."

Xia confessed a few more words to him, and then didn't say anything more, and asked him to go back to the village to report first.

After a while, Miles was helped to the entrance of the village, and was stunned when he saw a woman in front of him covering half of her face.

"Little Ron, is this what you call the strong?"

He turned his head a little suspiciously and asked:

"Defeated that wizard in the wilderness and took the treasure chest back?"

"That's right, old man Miles."

Ron put his hands behind his head and replied lazily:

"She's a powerhouse in the Magister realm, what's the point of picking up one or two wizards? Even if a *-class monster comes, she can do it with one magic! ”

Magister?

The hearts of the people who followed Miles to the entrance of the village were shocked.

In such a remote place, not to mention the Magister, even the Great Mage is very rare, and the light of the torches reflects the light of the torches, and everyone's eyes immediately change from vigilance and suspicion to deep awe.

"Whoosh-"

Natsu floated the box hanging behind him through the air and flew in front of Miles' eyes.

"I'm an acquaintance of Ron."

She tried to make her voice as ordinary as possible:

"I happened to be passing by this neighborhood, and I heard that the treasure of your village had been stolen, so I helped to find it...... Do you check if it's this thing? ”

This sight of floating objects in the air made the experienced old village chief confirm the identity of the other party, and he bowed down respectfully and said:

"Your Excellency, this is indeed a treasure of our village, and it is unscathed, thank you very much for your help...... Please come with me. ”

He waved his hand to the villagers behind him who were holding various weapons, and everyone put away their weapons one after another, making way for them.

"Please come in."

Miles led Natsu to a large large house, which seemed to be the place where the village used to hold banquets.

"Our village is very poor, there are no good things, I have asked people to prepare some specialties here, among which there is a star grass that can be used to make a potion to restore the magic of zuò, hoping to express a little heart."

"No need."

Xia replied coldly:

"I'm not short of potions."

Seeing her reaction, Miles was even more convinced that the other party was a powerful magician, and touched his beard and said:

"Your voice sounds familiar...... I would venture to ask, where are you from? ”

"The Rechel Mountains."

Xia replied briefly:

"Don't ask any more questions about me, don't prepare any thank-you gifts, I'm only going to help because I know Ron...... Give me a quiet room, I need rest and meditation. ”

Although these words were very rude, her unsolicited attitude made Miles eliminate the last trace of doubt, and saw the old village chief get up from the chair with difficulty, bow again, raise his head and say sincerely:

"Forgive me for my suspicions, after all, because there are so many people in our village who have snooped on that legend, I have to tempt it, but rest assured, although we are poor, we are not villains who do not repay the favor - take that thing."

He said to the person next to him.

"No need."

Natsu stood up from his chair:

"I don't need anything in return, I just need to rest now."

"Well, I respect your wishes."

Miles personally led her to a clean house, thanked her again for her help, and bowed to her goodbye.

"Bang."

A blue light flashed in Natsu's eyes, and the door closed automatically.

"Master, it's past 12 o'clock, and there is a doctor in the random profession today."

The little Lori in black obediently took out a magic lamp and lit it, and a faint blue fire appeared in the room.

“…… What's the use of coming to this now. ”

Xia leaned on the table, where is there any image of a Magister powerhouse:

"It can already be determined that the village chief is lying, that box is not a treasure left by the ancestors at all, but the inside of the box is an artifact, which is really unreasonable."

"You follow Miles, pay attention to what he's done, maybe he'll make sure the real treasure is safe."

She gave a tracking command to the little Lori in black.

"What exactly is the purpose of this trigger task? Didn't you want me to look for the treasures in the village, but didn't let me use drastic means against the villagers...... It's a real headache. ”

She leaned on the table and thought.

"Silver-haired sister, silver-haired sister!"

Ron's voice came from the back window.

"What's the matter, don't bother me if it's okay."

Xia said unhappily.

"It's about Jeff's guys, they left the village early and don't know where they went."

Ron didn't dare to enter her room casually, and whispered outside the window:

"Since a lot of people were accused by the wizard, Old Man Miles didn't pursue their actions, I once met Ma Millie in the neighborhood, and she said that these people had strange faces and looked sneaky, and I always felt that they were trying to do something."

"They have so much ability, what can they do."

Having said that, out of caution, Xia still thought about it for a while, and instructed him:

"You can go and find out where these people have gone, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a few of them with your strength, right?"

"Of course, I can knock them all down in an instant! Just wait for my good news. ”

Ron left in a huff.

"I saved this Ron only because he didn't have a bad heart, although he was a robber, he didn't want to bully civilians, I didn't expect this guy to be related to the main quest."

Natsu lay on the table for a while, got up and began to meditate.

……

"Jeff, are you sure that thing is hiding here?"

A young man with a shovel looked at the gloomy cave in front of him and asked in fear.

"Of course, that old guy Miles loves to hang around here when he's fine, and says it's a walk, but does a walk take such a long run? You must know that he is no longer the high-ranking swordsman he used to be, just an old man with inconvenient legs...... Keep digging! ”

He said to the young people around him, picked up the mining pickaxe and smashed it on a rock, splashing a few sparks.

"Dig through!"

A young man said in surprise.

"Go away!"

Jeff went up to look at the hole that had been pierced, and after a few taps with his mining pickaxe, it revealed a pitch-black hole.

"Ha, I knew there must be something in this cave."

With a smile on his face, he took out a mouse with a thread tied to its foot and let it burrow.

After a while, he dragged it out again, and found that the mouse was in good spirits, and showed no signs of poisoning, so he stooped down and walked in.

In front of him appeared a wide stone chamber, the very center of which was an altar-like stone platform on which two statues of two people were enshrined.

One of them was a long-haired woman, whose face had become blurred by age; The other person's face was blank without knowing who had shaved it, and he couldn't see his appearance at all.

"Jeff, this seems to be the burial chamber of our village's ancestors."

The young man who had dug through the rock wall looked timidly around:

"Let's go...... If someone finds out, they will be severely fined. ”

Jeff didn't even listen to what he said, but went to the altar and reached out to touch the body of the female statue:

"This old immortal Miles actually hides this kind of thing......"

Before his hand touched the statue, there was a sudden thunderclap outside the cave.

Jeff was startled and took his hand back again.

"Split up! See if there's anything of value. ”

He said to them, "Even if you can't find a treasure, you can't just go home empty-handed; Once we've got enough money, we'll get out of this place and go to the big cities. ”

At this time, in the quiet room in the village, Xia opened his eyes.

In front of her, the light of the magic lamp began to sway, as if it had been affected by some unknown force. R1152
