"The Cursed Land...... I thought the Harlems saw the New World as an untouched paradise. ”

Natsu thought of the people he had seen before, those who had come to the New World for the first time. Although the long sea bumps exhausted the men, a smile appeared on their faces when they entered the coastal camp.

"I called you here because I have something to tell you."

Timos was a good soldier and quickly restrained his gaffe:

"The most important of these is about the discovery of the New World over the years."

He used the word "we" because the female pirate was actually part of the empire as well.

"All these years? I remember that the Imperial fleet had only been sailing for a few months. ”

Xia sensed the suspicion in his words.

"Yes, you heard it right, Leah."

Timos said:

"Many years ago, there was a man named Bouya. Nitty's navigator, who appeared scarred on the East Coast and brought us news of the New World. ”

"Another person's name has to be mentioned here...... This man is Antoine, and you should be impressed, because he was the supreme commander of the Imperial Navy at that time, and the traitor that our fathers often mentioned. ”

"I remember he was dead."

Natsu had heard the story of the New World from the Sister in Black, but it seemed that Truis's version was not the same as that of the Imperial.

"On the surface he is indeed dead, but it is not."

Timos stroked the sword at his waist and said:

"Just as you have that powerful undead, there are many people in our country who are good at dark spells, and this Antoine is one of them. He had corrupted his body with necromancy, and his spirit had been transferred to other containers, and the executioner had effectively executed a soulless puppet. ”

As he said this, he squinted at the Black Spirit Knight. There seems to be no small interest in this high undead.

"Antoine turned into a lich?"

Natsu remembered an example that she had around her.

"No, he failed."

The major made a gesture of unknown significance:

"The Empire's intelligence system became unusually tight after the woman took power, and the spy quickly found Antoine's hiding place, where he found the decomposing corpse after the failed transformation, and the soul device worth 2 million magic crystals was also reduced to a pile of gravel."

"The transformation ritual failed, but he didn't die?"

Xia gradually frowned. Heard the anomaly in this matter.

"His soul is no longer in Faenns."

Timos's voice became a little gloomy: "Although it is not known what method was used, the disappearance of the navigator was accompanied by a large number of warships, which we speculate were the ones who carried Bouya. Niti and Antoine's soul went to sea. ”

"That was decades ago, so it is not surprising that we find a large complex here, and that although the sea is dangerous, if the navigator can come to the New World once, he is likely to make it to the second time; Most of these things are what they left behind. ”

Then he uttered a shocking fact:

"Leom - this new city was built on the basis of those buildings, and there were people who suspected that this abandoned place might be hiding a terrible secret, and did not agree to build there. But in the end, he was forced to solve the case by Elio. ”

"He's digging his own grave."

Timos's handsome face, which was not inferior to that of the expedition commander, smiled sarcastically:

"Later, the magistrate of Reom, who was personally appointed by him, overthrew the power of the army, took the management of the new city under his command, expelled all the officers loyal to the royal family from the safe zone, and let them lead the troops deep into the heart of the continent without any security."

"Can you tell me more about this?"

Xia felt that her brain was a little insufficient.

-- A man with a powerful military force and a loyal to the royal family, all of whom were expelled by a small magistrate? Isn't that magistrate afraid of being destroyed?

"Leom's administrative officer is Daniel, the fat man who weighed hundreds of kilograms, and the guy you used to kick him in the shin when you were younger."

Timos nodded. Answered her question:

"As one of the twelve great nobles, Daniel has an influence on the empire that is hard to ignore. And he was one of the first to discover that killing monsters could gain power, so whether it was himself or his subordinates, the combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the army that had been staying in the safe zone, plus he used regular means, Elio couldn't find a reason to use force at all, so he had no choice but to retreat. ”

"So to speak. Daniel is the one who was dealt with by Elio for indiscriminate killing. ”

Xia had heard some rumors circulating in Leom, and immediately matched this matter with the rumors.

"I'm glad that you're still caring about Harlem."

Timos said with a little joy:

"You're right...... It was because of this incident that the two turned their faces; However, Daniel is not the only one who kills people to improve his strength, others have also done similar things in secret, and it is because of this that Elio has lost two crucial supporters. The director lost the vote at the meeting. ”

"It seems that you are also a supporter of the indiscriminate killing party."

Xia looked at him and said.

"No, there are no compatriots among my enemies, only those pioneers and monsters."

Timos denied her words:

"Have you forgotten where our two families stand? As a conservative, it is naturally impossible for me to support Elio, who represents the radical faction, even if he is nominally my chief. ”

"By the way, you have never been interested in any of this, and you have been at sea all these years, and you may not know much about the turmoil at the top."

He suddenly realized:

"Without talking about that, to summarize it simply, there are three things I need to tell you today."

He held out three fingers:

"First, don't go near the hinterland of the continent and the gathering place of the pioneers, it is very dangerous for us, especially a beautiful girl like you, if you enter it, life will be worse than death."

"At the same time, don't get too close to the Leom government, the only thing you can trust is the City Guard, because that is the purview of our people, as long as my brother and I are still here, no one will dare to bully you."

"Second, those unidentified pioneers are not monolithic, we sacrificed a few intelligence officers in exchange for some information, among which there is a group called the "Radiant Messenger Regiment" that is the most powerful, and it should belong to the forces of Truis; Then there is the slightly weaker one, which represents the Ranger League of the Kingdom of Sadara; The composition of the last force is very complex, and we have not yet figured out the specific origins. ”

"Third ......"

Timos's expression was much more stern:

"Your strength is beyond my imagination, especially the thing standing behind you, which is strong enough to enter the ranks of the strong in the New World, and now we happen to have an important discovery, which is what I originally wanted to say to you."

"Towards the northwest, our exploration team excavated an underground ruin there."

He used his hands to compare a square space:

"Although it is impossible to determine the exact age, one thing is for sure, its history is definitely comparable to the oldest building on the continent of Faennes, unfortunately we are not the first to find it, there are others who have recently entered it, and the exploration team near the entrance saw a lot of bones, some of which are not completely decomposed."

"--Of course, there are monsters in there...... Endless monsters. ”

Timos took out an image ball and opened it for a moment, from which several hideous-looking monster images emerged.

These horrible creatures don't look much different from what they're usually seen, but if you look closely, you can see that they all retain some of their human features.

"There are a few pretty powerful characters in the exploration team, and they are led by carefully selected elite soldiers, but they only enter the third hall on the first floor, and they can no longer continue to move forward; In the end, less than twenty people escaped from that group, and all the rest were seriously injured. ”

"First Floor...... Are you saying that there are many more layers to that ruin? ”

"The exploration team has its own unique means of scouting away from the eyes of monsters."

Timos put the ball away and explained to her:

"Although the first layer of space of the ruins is very wide, most of them are such enemies, but after reaching the second layer, there is a type with extremely keen perception, and it destroys our detection device in less than half a minute."

"Is that so......"

Natsu looked pensive.

"Don't try to sneak down on your own, Leah, it's dangerous there."

Timos guessed what she thought:

"And the city guards dispatched all the elites to garrison around the ruins, I don't want to see you arrested as a spy, the soldiers at the bottom don't care who you are, the torture and oil rubbing of women is unavoidable, even if you kill them, it will be too late."

"You mean you want me to go with you? I don't want to reveal my identity. ”

Xia didn't feel strange at all about the other party's guessing of her intentions, she held her head high and said:

"And what's in it for me to help you? I don't bother to do anything that doesn't work. ”

"There's probably something extraordinary in the ruins."

Timos said helplessly:

"Do you understand that?"

Xia's ears stood up:

In the circle of the strong, once the adjective paranormal is used, it often means that there is some kind of connection with the gods.

"Is that the ruin that Grea on Grey Kirisle Island talking about?"

She couldn't help but think of the words of the imprisoned undead.

- Was she so lucky that she had just found her target here? (To be continued......)
