A stone door, how many unknown secrets were blocked, maybe Birmingham who was inside the door had never imagined, and now, holding the dragon token given to him by the caroler, the distant horn, facing the same thing in the hand of the rabbit merchant Levi, asked the lanternman his long-troubled question. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What is the so-called real world?"

It's a question that has not been answered since Birmingham arrived, and it has been haunting Birmingham's mind since he arrived at Ultramarine, and now, in this fantastic world, Birmingham realises that this is the best time to solve this problem.

"Living, you shouldn't ask me for this answer, there is a person who is more suitable than me. The lantern man replied with a smile, although it seemed perfunctory, but Birmingham did not feel a trace of frivolity and casualness from his expression as the lord of the river, but this answer was more in line with the current situation.

"It is worthy of the embodiment of the power of the lord of the long river. A familiar tone came from the red-dyed maple forest, and Birmingham turned back, only to see someone he least wanted to see now.

The regent Yaoyue, the friend of his ancestors, is also his current enemy.

The red maple leaves fell on the elf's shoulders, falling from the silky cloak with the movement of his footsteps, and then being trampled into the soft earth, making a rustling sound, and the lubricated hair was like a stream of water, without a trace of clutter, obediently sticking to the sides of the regent's cheeks, and the breeze blew through the corners of his clothes and ruffled his hair.

The maple forest, the breeze with a handsome elf, is simply a dream scene, of course, if this elf is holding the reins of a white horse in his hand instead of a black halberd, the effect may be better.

"The Lord Regent's aura will be noticed by anyone. The lantern bearer took a slight sideways step, blocking Birmingham's body in his black robes, a seemingly insignificant step, but it made the eyes of the regent Yaoyue glaze over, this was a step to show his position, and it was also a warning to himself not to hit Birmingham's attention.

It's really amazing good luck, it seems that his old friend not only inherited his own thick skin like the city wall, but also his enviable strong luck, a single lord of the long river is already a terrible backstage, the regent Yaoyue, who retracted his mind, exerted his strength slightly, and the halberd in his hand was firmly rooted into the soil at his feet like a javelin, and the black spear body trembled slightly, like a thin mast swaying in the wind.

"The living, the one who can answer your question is here, but I wonder if His Excellency the Lord Regent can appreciate his face?" the lantern man looked at the regent Yaoyue who was standing at the edge of the maple grove, and turned the question that Birmingham threw at him to the long-lived elf.

"Gladly. The regent Yaoyue replied with a bow, and opened his first lecture on knowledge to the ten-year-old Birmingham and the rabbit merchant Villier who stood in the wheat stack.

"As you can see, this is the original ultramarine, a kingdom built on dragons, there are no seasons, no day and no darkness, this is eternal green, this is worthy of the elves, but I'm afraid I'm the only one who thinks so. "The regent Yaoyue walked briskly, as if strolling in his own back garden, his brisk figure swept past Birmingham, whose face was full of astonishment, and also swept past the red-eyed rabbit merchant Villier, and walked under the wooden windmill, ignoring the stains on the bluestone slab in front of the windmill, sitting on it very comfortably, without any nobility as a regent, looking like an ordinary mortal, a human being.

"Isn't it strange to think that an elf shouldn't be like this? The regent looked at the stunned Birmingham with a funny expression, and even brushed the bluestone slab with his smooth palm, bringing up bursts of dust.

"I just didn't expect to see a human shadow in an elf. Birmingham didn't care about the regent's ridicule, but looked serious.

"Yes, but you wouldn't be surprised to know that this is the first time I've set foot on this land in thousands of years. ”

"Thousands of years, how many thousand years have you left this world?"

"Yes, as I said, the world was ultramarine at first, until we learned that the ground beneath our feet was a living dragon. When the regent Yaoyue mentioned the dragon, there was a complicated look in his eyes.

"Why, isn't a dragon bad?" Birmingham didn't understand the way of thinking of these elves, and it stands to reason that surviving with mythical creatures is something that humans can't hope for.

"Well, if only the elves thought the same way as you humans, dragons, it may be a myth for you, but a disaster for us. The Lord Regent looked helpless at Birmingham's words.

"The immortal species is surprisingly consistent in this respect. Villier, the rabbit merchant who was a bystander, opened his three-petaled mouth and spoke of the elves' attitude towards dragons.

Yes, fear, this is the attitude of all immortals towards dragons, an existence that never dies, one is only the owner of a long life, one is the top of the food chain, one is only a race that is blessed by the goddess, the two are contrasted, the elves are no different from the humans they despise in front of the dragon, and it is for this reason that the nobility that the ultramarine elves have always insisted on when they know that the place they live on is the body of the dragon, it has become a big joke.

"That's why. Birmingham couldn't believe that this ridiculous reason could be the trigger for everything.

"Son of Richard, you will never be able to understand the pride of the elves, just as we cannot understand you humans, and so the catastrophe began. The regent Yaoyue covered her forehead in some pain, her lowered eyes full of remorse.

"You slaughtered the dragon?" Birmingham's lips stiffened, as if he couldn't believe that a noble elf would do such a thing.

"Massacre, you think too highly of us, it was just a sinister sneak attack. ”

"Sneak attack?"

"Yes, sneak attack, because we have always been dealing with a sleeping dragon, and even if we cut off the dragon's head, the great being will not be aware of it, but the head we cut off has become our endless nightmare. The regent Yaoyue looked around, the rustling maple forest and the turning windmill, everything seemed to have not changed, except that the former owner of this place had become a yellowed picture scroll in his memory.

"He's still sleeping?" Birmingham trampled on the ground beneath his feet in disbelief, and a dragon crawled at his feet, a mythical scene.

"Yes, the dragon is still asleep, but the head we cut off has awakened when it left its body, and then there is an inescapable curse, and winter has begun to eat away at our land, and the irresistible beasts have rained down from the sky, tearing and biting, destroying our people, until half of the elven king's life has been consumed, and we have a chance to breathe in this nightmare. The steady tone of voice became agitated and sad as the words continued to increase.

"You created another ultramarine. Birmingham licked his dry lips, and the concatenation of causes and consequences was not difficult to come to this conclusion, and the silent silence of the regent Yaoyue confirmed this question.

"Remember, the living, that you will never escape the dragon's curse. The lantern bearer scoffed at the elves' practices.

"Sure enough, he is the Lord of the Long River, who has a far more understanding of the dragon than us, thinking that we have escaped the curse and ushered in the first winter blue in our new home, and also let us know that if we do not destroy this dragon head, all our dreams will be in vain. Regent Yaoyue let go of the hand covering his forehead, and then stood up, and as his body rose and fell, the huge coercion began to permeate around him, shaking the peaceful and comfortable dream world.

"So, can you not stop me?" Although it was a request, but his face was full of slaughter, and the regent's words were no joke.

"I'm sorry, but Lord Regent, we may be a stumbling block to your plans. The lantern man stood in front of Birmingham, and the black figure returned to Birmingham's dragging sword in light and shadow, and the rusty sword returned to its former sharpness.

"It's an uphill battle, the living. The lantern bearer's tone was serious.

"I know. Birmingham responded with a smile.

"That's why I hate you mortals, Eldos and Richard. The Regent's expression was awe-inspiring, and the invisible pressure was brewing around him, and the rabbit merchant Villier had long since hid in the wheat stack beside him, trying to do his duty as a bystander.

Crossing the shackles of time, the ten-year-old Birmingham faced the thousand-year-old regent for the first time, old friends, and rivals inexplicably met at this moment, but now there is no longer the friendship of the past, and some are only their respective missions.
