Since the end of the Age of Mythology, the strength level of the top powerhouses on the continent has been slowly declining over time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From the endless strife between the eighth-order powerhouses of various races after the fall of the gods, to the only remaining ten eighth-order powerhouses in the middle of the Douqi Era, each guarding the continent, and then to the last recorded eighth-order powerhouse in the continent at the end of the Douqi Era, the legendary Pope Hanik, who held the Solan Divine Sect to the altar, passed away in the weeping of the sects of the entire continent, and now, even a seventh-order peak in the entire continent is rare for a hundred years......

The disappearance of the holders of the Eighth Order Supreme Power has become an eternal pain in the hearts of the cultivators on the continent today. And the reason for this situation is that in hundreds of years of discussion, there has been a relatively high degree of agreement.

The large number of high-level methods of Douqi cultivation and magic cultivation have been lost, coupled with the fact that there has been no large-scale war on the continent for a long time, so the top powerhouses do not have as many opportunities to fight and break through as those ancestors in ancient times, and the lack of theory and practice makes the cultivation path of the powerhouses themselves much more difficult than that of their predecessors.

This interpretation is accepted by most people, but a significant number of people are quite skeptical of the term "lost and peaceful doctrine".

Although it is true that many of the ancient combat cultivation techniques have been lost a lot with the death of the founders, are the corresponding many emerging classical theories led by the spirit and demon dual-energy system and the elemental theory really not enough to fill these gaps?

Although there has never been a battle as tragic and magnificent as the battle of the ancient gods and demons, it is not uncommon to say that wars that have swept the entire continent have occurred since the Age of Mythology. A hundred years after the fall of the gods and peace, the great chaos between the various races, the famous "Soul Association" event, and the recent Wizard Innovation War that directly created the rise of the Loris Kingdom and some of the emerging vassal states of the Northlands, these wars that also caused the fall of countless cultivators of fighting spirit and magic at every turn really can't achieve the effect of sharpening the strong like the war of gods and demons?

However, despite all the doubts, these skeptics could not find a more plausible explanation, so they never wavered from the mainstream "doctrine of lost and peace", and allowed the latter to be recorded in the historiography as an almost conclusive explanation.

In fact, if those skeptics can learn some information about the inside of the Warcraft Forest, maybe they will have a strong basis to support their skeptical views.

Well, this may be true for the intelligent races such as humans and orcs and elves, but what about Warcraft?

Even if the high-level demonic beasts that have awakened their spiritual intelligence, their strength does not come from personal cultivation at all but from talent, which means that the loss of those high-end skills of human beings has no impact on demonic beasts at all. Most of the growth of these demonic beasts' own strength comes from the talent inherited from their bloodline, and the demonic beasts who have inherited the bloodline of those powerful demonic beasts comparable to the eighth-order powerhouses in the ancient gods and demons era should not be affected by the so-called "lost and peaceful", and can still grow into new eighth-order demonic beasts through the accumulation of years now.

However, in fact, in the current Warcraft Forest, there has been no new eighth-order Warcraft since the last eighth-order Warcraft died hundreds of years ago.

Whether it is an intelligent race that relies on its own cultivation, or a demonic beast that relies on talent and bloodline, the strength class of the eighth order seems to have been erased from history by some kind of force out of thin air, and it no longer exists on the current continent.

Of course, these things are not something that they will pay attention to at all for the Warcraft who seem to be vicious, but in fact have a strong squatting attribute at home, and those humans and scholars of various races who are full of research and study spirit in this aspect of the matter will not know about these situations in the Warcraft Forest because of the limited conditions, so so far, no one knows how abrupt the disappearance of the Eighth Order is for the entire Areth Continent.

...... Ahem, okay, let's pull back the topic that has been pulled away, back to the Warcraft Forest.

The disappearance of the eighth-order demonic beast naturally means that the seventh-order demonic beast has begun to become the real overlord of the forest, but because of some mysterious and unknown reason, the demonic beasts in the demonic beast forest have also appeared in the same dilemma as the top powerhouses of the human race to improve their strength, and there has not been a new seventh-order peak demonic beast for a long time.

As a result, not long after the eighth-order disappearance in the forest, the only one that was the eldest seventh-order peak sub-dragon type demonic beast also died, and the title of the strongest in the demonic beast forest fell on the heads of the five seventh-order high-level demonic beasts below it at the same time.

The Dark Moon Demon Wolf, the Dragon Turtle, the Holy Light Fire Winged Tiger, the Dark Phantom Butterfly, and the Hydra Monster are the five strongest magical beasts that have stood at the top of the Warcraft Forest in recent centuries, and they are also the five strongest Warcraft that have the most voice in the Warcraft Forest.

And now, the three of Gurney, who are shuttling quickly through the Warcraft Forest, are finally heading to the territory of the Dark Phantom Butterfly, one of the five strongest Warcraft Beasts.

"Oh, three, we're almost there!"

Although it was only about three hours to enter the forest from a secret path on the outskirts of the adventurer's town, with the Nightmare Beast under his crotch walking around, and the owl beside him who was a bit chattering but a genuine sixth-order Warcraft, the three of Gurney had now arrived at the most dangerous human forbidden area on the continent for thousands of years, the innermost part of the core area of the Warcraft Forest.

Back then, even the most powerful thief on the continent, the old thief of the law powerhouse, did not dare to easily step into this death area, but at this moment, it was completely unimpeded in front of the eyes of the three of them. Along the way, there were many top-level demonic beasts that had insight into the aura of humans and appeared in the vicinity very unfriendly, but after seeing the black nightmare beast and the seemingly harmless owl under the three of them, these top-level demonic beasts that either retained their beast form or changed into human form were very jealous and just looked at them from a distance, but they didn't want to do anything to them at all.

Just like among the seventh-order law powerhouses of human beings, there is also a gap between the seventh-order beginner and the seventh-order high-level and even the peak, and it is also a top-level demonic beast that can use the power of the law, and there is naturally a considerable gap in the strength between beasts.

And because the world of Warcraft does not have all kinds of complex rules and orders like human society, strength is almost the only power determination criterion here, so even the top Warcraft, in front of an existence that is more powerful than themselves, if they don't want to die, they have no other choice than bowing their heads and retreating.

Those top-level demonic beasts were like this, of course, it was not the four sixth-order high-level demonic beasts that made them retreat in fear, but the master behind these four high-level demonic beasts.

He is proficient in illusion and dark magic, and is said to possess the power of the law that has hallucinogenic and cognitive disturbing effects. The Dark Phantom Butterfly may not be the strongest of the five Warcraft kings, but it is the most feared by the Warcraft. In addition to the Dark Phantom Butterfly's extremely cold-blooded temperament towards enemies, it is also because if you are an enemy of the Dark Phantom Butterfly, you will never know when you will suddenly and unknowingly fall into an endless nightmare, and then you will be tormented in it forever without waking up...... Not even aware of his own death.

"These days, the other two guests of the Nolan clan are Lord Leyson and Lord Death's Hand, all four of whom have been living in our hostess's manor, where the environment is beautiful, and the beautiful maids of the Phantom Butterfly clan selected and trained by the hostess herself are waiting everywhere, I believe that the three will be satisfied. ”

The owl still had a joyful and human expression on its face, and it was evident that it was clearly very proud of the "mistress" in its mouth.

"yes, that's something to look forward to...... But in the depths of such a forest, can there still be a manor?"

"Of course, and our mistress's manor is different from the so-called aristocratic courtyards among you humans, and it is truly a unique and beautiful manor that shows the style and dignity of our mistress everywhere!"

King Kong, who was following Gurney, heard the funny owl in front of him boasting about himself for the mistress of the house, and couldn't help but "cut" lightly, and just wanted to say something sarcastic, but Grimm, who was walking beside him, put a hand on his shoulder, and then shook his head at him.

Although Green often shows an impulsive and fierce side when facing the Solan Church, in addition to this, as a character who can pull out a large mercenary group by himself with a hidden identity in Freedom Harbor, Green is naturally much more sensible than King Kong, a pure thug beside Gurney.

They are now allies with that Dark Phantom Butterfly, and there are countless places they have to rely on each other in the forest full of demonic beasts here, and they can't offend people casually with King Kong's big mouth.

"Oh, that's really exciting, and I can't wait to see Madame Deciss's masterpiece. ”

Gurney replied to the owl's words with a smile, and quietly praised the other party and the other party's mistress by the way, and sure enough, the owl was immediately happy.

"Oh, Mr. Gurney, the mistress would be glad to hear that, but Mr. Gurney, how did you know the human name that the mistress had given herself?Ah......hh By the way, Mr. Gurney, since you know the name of the hostess, then I can give you a suggestion, the hostess likes to be called by her human name by her guests, and if you can do that, then the hostess will be very happy to entertain you, and I remember a time before when the hostess went out for a walk......"

The chattering owl is once again caught up in a self-talking self-world, and it doesn't seem to care if Gurney is listening to it or not about his hostess's gossip, just that he (a bird?) is there alone and babbling about the so-called exclusive revelations that are of no value to Gurney and them.

Gurney couldn't help but turn his head and show a wry smile to King Kong, who was walking behind with an impatient face, and Green, who looked a little helpless, and he also regretted that he had just spoken rashly...... But who knows how this guy can be so verbose when he is obviously a monster?

Luckily, they only managed to endure the chattering owl for about ten minutes or so before they reached the Dark Phantom Butterfly's manor.

Although the owl had said how good the manor of its hostess was Dark Phantom Butterfly Daisy before, in fact, to be honest, Gurney and they didn't have much expectations for this manor of a magical beast built in the core area of the deep Warcraft Forest, but when they actually arrived at the place, they found that the owl really didn't lie about this manor, at least in terms of things about this manor.

The place where the Dark Phantom Butterfly lives is a forest of Colendo giant pines, a giant pine tree that grows nearly ten meters tall when it reaches adulthood, and Daisis's estate is built in a clearing under the trees where the canopy of these giant pines blocks the sunlight.

It is full of aristocratic buildings in the Western Continent, exquisite gardens, well-dressed and beautiful maids at the entrance of the manor, and if you ignore the somewhat gloomy surroundings and the strange pair of black butterfly wings behind the maids who greet guests at the door, it is probably not surprising to say that this is the private estate of a nobleman from Lorris or Prude.

"Welcome, distinguished Nolan guests. ”

Standing in the doorway, four maidens with butterfly wings bowed neatly and saluted the three Gurneys riding on the Nightmare Beast.

The owl flapped its wings and came closer.

"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, I have successfully brought these men here from outside the forest as entrusted by my hostess......"

The owl obviously wanted to be close to the personal maids around these dark phantom butterflies, but these butterfly maids did not give it this opportunity and directly interrupted its rambling.

"Good work, the hostess will know what you do. ”

"Ah, uh...... Ahaha, that's good, that's good......"

The owl was choked like this, and couldn't say anything else, and it was not stupid, knowing that these were not only the personal maids of the dark phantom butterfly Dai Qisi but also her descendants of the same clan, even if their identity in this manor was a maid, it was not something that it could underestimate as a sixth-order demonic beast who relied on its whiskers and patted horses as a small follower under Dai Qisi, and even a person who couldn't even turn into a person, so he had to retreat with amusement and flew away a little gloomy.

The leading butterfly maid didn't even glance at the owl she had driven away, and bowed again to Gurni, who had come down from the Nightmare.

"The hostess has been waiting for you for a long time, so please come with me. (To be continued.) )
