Human life is too short after all, and even the great king Azi-Tris did not escape death.

"Phoenix, are you alright?"

Lin Qiu stretched out his hand with concern and shook it in front of Phoenix's daze, Phoenix gradually moved his gaze to Lin Qiu - this is the second unobnoying and interesting human she has met since Azi-Tris, and his interesting thing is completely different from Azi-Tris, the two are diametrically opposed existences in life, one is simple and upright, the other is "scheming", but these two completely different human beings have little difference in their reactions when faced with choices.

Humans are such an interesting race.

Countless years have passed since the death of the first king, and she still can't love the land, but she can now walk calmly among the human race, a race that was once small in her eyes. The more she looked closely, the more she was amazed.

"I'm fine. Well...... I've heard of Theophalan. Phoenix was stunned for a moment before he remembered Ella's question.

When Ella mentions the group, she can't help but think of the first king.

Although the man was a little upright in his daily life, and probably suffered more dragon breath for provoking Harrow's shame than she and Queen McCallis combined, he had an extremely keen sense of smell when it came to politics. In retrospect, Az-Tris not only foresaw his own death, but also accepted it and began to plan for Holutia's future from then on.

He foresaw the feud between the Henry and Theopharans, but he knew he could not stop the inevitable strife, so he had to travel alone to the North several times to help Hero find an isolated lair, knowing that whoever won the battle would go to great lengths to seek revenge.

At that time, the Winter Dragon was not a myth or legend, but a symbol of reality and spiritual totem in people's hearts.

He didn't want to let Helo be involved in the never-ending strife of humanity because of his death.

Not long after the death of Az-Tris, Theofaran's people braved a blizzard and set foot in the cold and death of the North—as losers. However, with the belief that they would be able to turn the tide and tear the Henry family from the throne with the help of Helo, Theopharan established several strongholds in the vast north.

Few people know that the current transit points in the north are the ruins left behind by the tribe of Theophalan. Later adventurers discovered them in the wind and snow and transformed them into their current camping base. Theophalan's people are smart and brave, they have survived like monsters in the uninhabited North, feeding on low-level monsters and creating a unique way to communicate with them further into the North.

During this time, some of Theophalan's people froze to death, and some of them became food for the high-ranking monsters, but thanks to their unremitting efforts, they eventually made it to the deepest part of the North. Unfortunately, they didn't make it to Harrow, but they did find Phoenix's lair.

Phoenix remembers that there were only four people who came to her at the time, and the four said that there were more than a dozen people who accompanied them on their journey, and that the snowstorm and monsters killed them. Despite this, they did not hate monsters, and that was because their hatred for Henry's family was greater than anything else.

Henry I executed their patriarch and banished them forever, reducing them from the nobility to street rats who desperately needed strength for revenge.

The once-glorious people of Theopharan have been reduced to supplicants who are willing to give up some for the sake of power.

Even so, Phoenix turned them down.

It was a pact they had made with the first king, and the monster had always taken the promise that it would not change because of someone's death, that she and McCallis would not help anyone seize the throne, and that they would not tell anyone where the Harrow's lair was. It was probably the most costly deal she'd ever made with McCallis.

The first king had nothing to repay them, which he called "a request from a friend."

The Theopharans were willing to sacrifice their souls to become followers of Phoenix, and once they dragged the Henry family from the throne, they secretly assisted Phoenix in his fight against the Order.

"And then?"

Ella couldn't help but ask.

The story told by Phoenix is much more vivid than the records of the royal library, and she tells that history fairly and objectively from the perspective of a monster, and there are many hidden secrets that cannot be known to mankind - such as the bond between the first king and Herlo, and the fact that he became "friends" with Phoenix and Queen McCallis without the knowledge of the people of Helutia.

Ella even forgot what they were in, and urged, "Where have Theopharan's people gone?"

"Gone. Phoenix said.

After the request was fruitless, the four Theopharans left disappointed, and that was the last thing Theopharan remembered in Phoenix. But according to the words of those four people, there are a total of ten people in their exploration team, and there are no less than 100 people placed in the north, among which there are many powerful knights, and if they want to destroy that group, only a few of their high-level monsters can do it.

Queen Merkaris didn't know about it, and Harrow didn't even know that Theopharan was looking for her.

In this case, nearly 100 people disappeared overnight.

"Apparently they moved underground. Lin Qiu analyzed: "The old man named Adik said that the monsters you encountered were Theophalan's people back then, and they seemed to have changed due to their long time living underground. ”

"Adik, she's not dead yet?" said Ella, a little surprised.

"He was rescued by Melia. ”

"That guy is a pervert who does human experiments!" said Ella angrily. She didn't expect that the old man's vitality was so complete, that he had miraculously survived after suffering a heavy blow to the back of his head, and she glanced at Ola and the others, who were pale and their clenched fists trembling.

"That's not the point, when you return to the imperial capital, you only need to disclose the news of his crimes and the fact that he is still alive, and there are more people who want to kill him. Lin Qiu said: "The important thing is that I seem to have found a problem. ”

"Huh?"

"Theopharan is not the only one who has been looking for Hero, the Musa Consortium seems to have been looking for her since its inception, and their experimental base happens to be above this secret passage...... Their purpose in looking for Harrow is probably not to find a way for monsters to live in peace with humans, monster experiments are just experiments, and human experiments have nothing to do with their philosophy at all. ”

"What are you going to do?" Phoenix subconsciously asked Lin Qiu's intentions.

"Ask Eric Moussa in person and the truth will be revealed. ”
