Sure enough, all the stories start with an old beggar.

Lin Qiu didn't know why there were so many old beggars in every world who could open a hundred lecture halls with one sitting on the ground, and they could always stand up at a critical moment to preach and receive karma for people to solve their doubts, or leave a book of magic secrets such as "Rulai Divine Palm" and leave quietly. They waved their sleeves and never took a cloud with them.

Of course, what Lin Qiu couldn't understand the most was how these erudite old men had become beggars.

No one knows, and it is possible that no one will ever know.

Lin Qiu only knew that he was listening to a story originally told by an old beggar:

The Emerald Forest was located here before the foundation of Taigne, and its history dates back to the First Demon War, when it was the last pure land between the twenty-three neutral nations during the war-torn era. As we all know, both the Herutia and Byron empires were created by the Akarandu after they fled, and it was only after the first Demon Tide War that humanity gained its status today.

But in the Emerald Forest, war never existed.

A human ancestor fled here and received help from the monsters of the forest, who accepted the humans, cared for the wounded, and shared the monsters they had picked with them. Seeing that the injured man was getting better day by day, the sage was very grateful for the help of the monsters. In order to preserve this pure land, the sages of the human race and the leader of the monsters worked together to focus on the sacred tree and the lake in front of the tree, and the endless life force blessed the humans and the monsters until the war subsided.

After the war subsided, some people chose to stay here, others could not let go of their relatives and friends in Akalando, and they decided to go out and look for the lost people. Some people searched for it all their lives, and their footprints were all over the 23 neutral countries, and eventually, they built walls to accept refugees, and thus gave birth to the prototype of the 23 neutral countries.

"Who asked you about the history of the twenty-three neutrals!" Phoenix made a grinning grimace at the adventurer.

Those ghosts, those visions!

This time it was what she was more concerned about, as for how the human race established the twenty-three neutral countries...... What does this have to do with her?

"Wait...... Wait a minute!" the adventurer was once again scared to death.

At that time, he listened to the old beggar talk about it with great relish, after all, the life of adventurers is really monotonous, and there is nothing to do after the night, and it is an extra pastime to be able to sit outside the guild and hear some unusual stories - what is anxious, this is all foreshadowing! If there is no foreshadowing, it kills the tension of a story!

The adventurer was distracted, but he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Phoenix, so he cut out some unnecessary details and went straight to the point: "Ghosts and illusions should be caused by the Sacred Tree and Lake Gallon." ”

It took the old beggar several nights to tell the story of the Twenty-Three Neutrals, and the sages of the human race and the leaders of the monsters were only a small part of the vast history.

Of course, after telling the story of the twenty-three neutral countries, the old beggar also completed his historical mission and disappeared without a trace.

"Is that the tree?" Phoenix held out his index finger and pointed to the most conspicuous ancient tree in the depths of the forest.

"Yes, that's the legendary Sacred Tree!"

However, there are many theories about the sacred tree, and as for the worried adventurer himself, he has never been to the sacred tree in person. Although he hunted the monsters here, deep down in his heart, there was still one last trace of awe. To be precise, after hearing so many legends, he didn't dare to approach the Sacred Tree and Lake Gallon at all, for fear that Lake Gallon, which was as light as a mirror, would judge him.

"Lake Gallon is known as the mirror of the mind, and the sages and monsters have given their power to keep the purity of this place alive forever. Although centuries have passed since the First Demon Tide War, there are still people who believe that their power is still there, and when a person has sin in his heart, he can see the sin in his heart from the lake and from the woods, and the closer he gets to the sacred tree, the deeper the influence will be - these are all said by the old beggar, even if he is wrong, it doesn't matter to me!"

The adventurer added pitifully.

His attitude is that he doesn't care if others believe it or not, he believes it anyway. No one knows how the adventurers went crazy and what they saw in the forest, but for his own safety, he would never come near the Sacred Tree and Lake Gallon in his life.

Since then, the adventurers have sought out a number of colleagues who have confronted Lake Gallen, but it turns out that they are braggarts who can't even tell the difference on a map.

"Miss, please let them go. Someone not far away persuaded him.

The crocodile monster known as Papo somehow folded back, carrying on his shoulders the two adventurers who had been kicked into the lake by Phoenix before: "If you are interested in the Sacred Tree and Lake Gallon, I can take you there, but ...... Please don't let this forest get bloody. ”

Unable to believe her ears, Phoenix pointed to the adventurers on the ground, "You know what they've done, right?"

Papo nodded, and he placed the adventurer he rescued from the lake on the ground, and the two of them still went out of their way to play their own play of playing dead.

"They kidnapped your companions. ”

"Hmm. ”

"They're here to grab more monsters this time. ”

"Hmm. ”

"You're an idiot, aren't you?"

......

"Papo is not stupid, he is one of the smartest people in the village!" Papo did not answer, but kept following his robin to fight for Papo. They have known each other since childhood, Papo is not only very smart, but also the most powerful monster in the village, he is always willing to help everyone, and he is very popular in the village.

Although Phoenix looks like a monster, Mockingbird doesn't allow anyone to slander his friends.

Phoenix glared at the robin, who was so frightened that his feathers stood on end, and his petite body trembled, and then he flew behind Papo, and she showed half her head, and said, "I know that you just asked someone else's question, and I know that you helped Timi not long ago!

And someone else?

The worried adventurer's heart was full of doubts.

Then he saw Lin Qiu coming out from behind a tree.

Isn't this the guy who beat them up before? What's it called...... Ramov-Lancelot is coming, and he will never forget the face of this teenager for the rest of his life, not for revenge, but for the sake of putting him on the list of dangers, and if possible, he will never want to deal with this teenager again.

If this is the guy just now, ...... that dragon girl?

The more he looked at Phoenix, the more familiar it became.

Sky!

Wasn't this one of the two girls who had just watched the play in the back? It was only because of the horns and the conspicuous pair of dragon wings behind him that he didn't recognize it for a while.

This kid has a dragon friend!

Shocked, he leaned back in an exaggerated manner.

- He's been scared to death, please don't pay attention to him.

- Now he's just an irrelevant corpse.
