Every corner of the world operates according to certain rules, and most of the rules are easy to discover and understand, and the world that ordinary people come into contact with is probably like this.

But there are parts of the world where the rules depend on are complex and hidden, and those who violate the rules are subdued by the rules.

After wandering around the world, adventurers used their lives to summarize the places whose rules they could not understand, and they called them forbidden places.

Three years later, Eliza and Leo are stepping on a forbidden land called the "Water Jedi".

If you ignore the slight immaturity between the eyebrows, the sixteen-year-old Leo is already completely an adult.

"This time there is a rumor of something here, old woman. ”

It was Leo who spoke, and he tugged at the reins and whipped the horse that refused to move forward, but the horse under his crotch refused to take another step forward anyway.

Eliza closed her eyes and lay lazily on the back of her horse, driving the horse with pure Sanctuary ability, and when she heard Leo's voice, she hooked her finger to the ground, and a small pebble hit Leo on the forehead under her command.

Leo folded his waist back, and expertly dodged the sneak attack.

Eliza snorted, controlled the stone to turn in the air, and struck Leo on the back of the head, and then said, "This is the last time I warn you, call me sister." ”

"You're fifty years old, don't you feel ashamed? Leo refused to give in at all, and whipped the horse's buttocks with a whip in his hand.

Eliza, who was kindly reminded of her age, lay on the horseback, opened her eyes slightly, looked at the ground without love, and silently said in her heart: "The children you teach, the children you teach." ”

However, the word "fifty years old" echoed in her mind like a magic sound.

Eliza sighed melancholy and got up from her horse.

As soon as her mind moved, the horse stopped at her will.

Standing up and looking at the valley in the distance, Eliza jumped off her horse and said to Leo, who was two positions behind her, "Get off the horse, the remnants of the dragon power in front are too strong, and these low-intelligence animals will not go forward." ”

"Is it a dragon again? This is the fourth dragon's nest. Leo dismounted obediently.

As soon as Leo let go of the reins, the horse spread its hooves and ran towards the way it came.

"Can we find some human ruins or miracle sites? Although dragons are rich, their treasures are too hard to find buyers. Leo tried to convince Eliza to take a different direction.

"No, I can't. Eliza categorically refused, "Don't you know how attractive these sparkling and energy-rich gems are to girls?"

"But if there is nothing in the dragon's lair that can be sold for money this time, we may have to rely on robbery for our next meal. For the sake of the growing and developing body, Leo had to point out this fact.

Over the years, Eliza is only willing to look for the traces of the dragon, and occasionally inquire about the whereabouts of the artifact, but these two are not able to be quickly realized, the dragon's nest is mostly jewelry and power stones, although it is worth a lot of money, but few people are willing to pay a lot of money for the unprocessed rough stones, but Eliza is unwilling to sell these treasures cheaply, which leads to the fact that the two of them can definitely rank in the top ten among adventurers in terms of absolute wealth, but the gold coins on their bodies are often not more than a hundred.

"Then go and rob it, there are so many low-quality adventurers, just find a few to enforce justice, won't you have money?"

"It's because of your habit that the law and order everywhere we go can break the local historical record..."

"Then next time we'll keep a low profile and go into town. Eliza scrambled with ideas as she opened a cave hidden by weeds.

Leo gestured at the entrance of the cave and said, "This hole can also get into a fox, what are you staring at here?" ”

Eliza approached the entrance of the cave, sniffed with her nose, and said with certainty: "You can't be wrong, there is a strong smell of dragon dung in this cave. ”

However, the fact that it contradicts logic is in front of him, which makes Leo still skeptical.

Eliza closed her eyes, put her hands over the wall next to the cave, and muttered, "Don't trust your eyes, everything that appears can be false." ”

As Eliza's power poured down her hands into the stone wall, pieces of rubble began to peel off the edge of the cavern.

Under Leo's gaze, the original fox hole soon expanded into a hole that was several people tall.

"When your body and fighting spirit are perfected, you will be able to see through this kind of disguise after stepping into the Sanctuary. Seeing Leo say goodbye, Eliza comforted her.

What Eliza didn't explain was that although the Sanctuary was able to see through some of the disguise, it didn't have the means to break the disguise, which was the result of using some of the abilities of the Legendary Rank.

"Wrap this around your feet. Eliza took a few pieces of cotton cloth from her backpack and gave them to Leo. "The slightest sound in the cave is amplified to the point where it is impossible to ignore, the situation inside is unknown, don't make any noise when you dive in. ”

Leo nodded, and followed Eliza into the cave.

The cavern grew wider the further inside, and Leo estimated that after a few hundred meters of depth, it was already higher than the domes of some churches.

Just as Leo was thinking to himself, Eliza suddenly stopped, and Leo was caught off guard and slammed into Eliza's back.

The two of them saw that they were about to fall to the ground one after the other, and an invisible force suddenly held the two of them.

This force slowly put Leo down, and at the same time, he also closed his wide open mouth forcefully, successfully blocking the sound he almost shouted.

It was Eliza, of course, who turned her head and glared at Leo fiercely, then pointed to the bend ahead of her with her index finger in a silent gesture.

Eliza closed her eyes and pressed a hand slowly to the ground.

"Alive, two. ”

Eliza gestured her lips at Leo, then motioned for Leo to follow her.

After moving a few dozen meters, a slight voice came from Leodi's ears.

“... We will not accept the distribution of benefits in the first package, which is what we deserve. A middle-aged man's voice sounded unmistakable.

Another, much younger voice, looking unusually confident, said eloquently: "With our help, you can save a lot of unnecessary time and manpower, and this part can fully offset your lost gains." ”

"The dragon is immortal, time means nothing to us, and the life of slavery is not worth mentioning, so what you say about our invisible harvest is completely ridiculous and worthless. On the contrary, you completely ignore the hidden gains you receive. ”

"Listen up, sir. ”

"When our dragons invade, we're going to keep you out of range entirely, you know what that means. ”

The young voice seemed to be lost in thought.

Leo understands something, so many years of exploration of the magic dragon has made him understand a little bit of the habits of the demon dragon.

The demon dragon is completely fun in chaos, even between the same race, it is indispensable to attack each other and make stumbling blocks, so when the demon dragon appears, it always attacks all the creatures in its sight indiscriminately.

After a long time, the young voice sighed and said helplessly: "Let's follow the second plan you provided, but the time mentioned in the second plan will be doubled." Time means little to you, but it is a scarce resource for us. ”

The dragon only thought about it for a moment, and then agreed to this small change.

"No problem. ”

Leo listened inexplicably, knowing that he had missed the important plan discussion in front of him, so he listened to it in a fog, but seeing that Eliza had a rare solemn and cautious expression on her face, she had listened to the plan completely.

Eliza turned, pointed outward, and was about to get out of here.

However, before Eliza could take a step, the passage to the outside was suddenly hidden by stone walls.

Eliza's face was heavy, and she immediately punched the stone wall with invisible fluctuations.

The stone wall was visibly dented by the punch, but that was all.

"Hurrying here, and hurrying to leave?" the demon dragon's voice came to the ears of the two of them.

Eliza and Leo looked up and died, only to see two figures appear around the corner.

The first figure was tall, majestic and solemn, only a pair of vertical pupils in his eyes revealed his identity as a demon dragon.

The other, dressed in a white priest's uniform, followed behind the demon dragon with a canon in his arms.

Eliza pulled her hair and showed a row of snow-white teeth to the person and the dragon: "I said I was passing by, do you believe it?"

"If you can put down the photo ball in your arms, your words may be very convincing. The dragon pointed to Eliza's chest and said.

"This?" Eliza took out a crystal ball from a hidden chest and said innocently, "Why don't I know what this is?"

Leo took the crystal ball thrown by Eliza, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.

In the past, Eliza always liked to call him "stinky boy" and "younger brother", without a serious title, and then suddenly opened his mouth to call him son, Leo was faintly uneasy.

"If you can't see it, show it to your dad. Eliza said lightly, and then turned away, refusing to look at Leo again.

Father?

Leo's bad premonition was even stronger.

Eliza has been away for many years, and she has never mentioned Leo's father, but when she suddenly mentioned it, she actually had a bit of a taste of orphanage.

"Mom!" Leo finally couldn't help but shout.

Eliza still looked impatient, she flicked the ponytail behind her head, and with a lift of her hand, an invisible force dragged Leo towards the stone wall behind her.

Although Leo struggled, this invisible force was so great that he couldn't move even a single inch with the strength of his proximity to the Sanctuary, so he had to be pressed against the stone wall.

Leo leaned against the stone wall, which buried him with the smell of earthy after the rain, and Leo could feel himself moving slowly and uncontrollably through the stone wall.

In the darkness, he couldn't even measure time. It was only when Leo felt that he was about to suffocate to death that he finally felt a little less pressure on his back.

Leo quickly struggled out of the stone wall, clutching the crystal ball tightly in his right hand.

He scrambled up from the ground and looked at the stone wall, trying to find Eliza deep in the cavern, but the stone wall in front of him ruthlessly blocked his vision.

Leo sat on the ground in a daze.

The crystal ball in his right hand suddenly lit up, and Eliza's figure appeared in the crystal ball.

Leo, who noticed the change in the crystal ball in his hand, was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted at the crystal ball: "Mother..."

Eliza in the crystal ball ignored Leo, and just spoke in a tone that Leo had never seen before.

"Leo, my son, there are always so many accidents in the world, and this one is extraordinarily violent. ”

Eliza paused, then continued, "You are not strong enough to participate in this battle, but you can still do what you can, such as sending this crystal ball to your father's hand, the sooner the better. Don't worry about me, don't hesitate and grieve, and don't make a mess of my mother-in-law. ”

"Be a man. ”

"Proud of you, Eliza. ”

Leo didn't know how he had left the dragon's nest, Eliza's instructions dominated his body, and his heart stayed in the dragon's nest.

The last shred of reason in his heart told him that this eleven years of growth and adventure.

It's over.
