It's close to June, and the temperature is rising day by day.

Even if Indigo Mountain is close to the sea, no matter how hot it is, it will not exceed 40 degrees, but the blazing direct sunlight still causes large areas of evaporating mist to rise in the forest.

The mist from the decay and fermentation of fallen leaves in the past is mixed with the heat of the sky, making the temperature in the forest no less than that of a sunny place, and even more akin to a sauna.

As for the Avod tribe, who live on the mountains of the South Ridge, they have their own way of avoiding the heat. The various caves and chambers in the mountains are the main body of the mountain tribes, and they are also the residences of the summer resort, and many of the buildings outside are just the modifications of the fortresses originally built to resist the impact of demonic beasts.

The life of the mountain people has changed dramatically compared to hundreds of years ago, and the growing population, the cultivated fields around the foothills, the dense fruit groves, and the gradual development of animal husbandry are all signs that the ancient culture is gradually adapting to the changes of the times.

But these are only a few tribes – the vast majority of mountain people still live on hunting and fishing as their main source of food.

A mountain hunter returned home yesterday and is now holding a pipe, leaning against the wall of his house to swallow the clouds. He has a lot of leisure, and he can spit out rings of smoke into rings and squares, even like stripes like waves, which is also a rare pleasure for him.

But suddenly, a gust of wind rose and swept from the mountainside, blowing away all the smoke rings, and even the birds that roost in the distant woods took off in panic and fled into the distance with their chirps.

The hunter shuddered, immediately put away his pipe, and hid in his home.

Then, with curiosity, he looked at the elder's residence halfway up the mountain.

"Elder, calm down."

In Minister Avod's old residence, Ian smoothed the wrinkled alchemist's robe on his body, and said helplessly: "The sacrificial book of the dragon god? No problem, I was going to the imperial capital, and if I could, I would definitely try to help find it. ”

"I'm sorry, I was a little excited."

Elder Manya sat back in his chair and sighed heavily.

This old man of the mountain people, when he was saying the sacrificial book of the dragon god just now, was too emotional, which caused the essentia to fluctuate, and a strong wind was generated...... This proves that the true strength of the Elder of the Cliff should be the second energy level high, and it is the true form of the bloodline of the Wind Genus.

Although Ian's goblin bloodline is also the second energy level, but in the three stages of the second energy level, he has also reached the second stage, that is, 'essentia soulification'. To put it simply, it is the second energy level of the middle level, and it is moving towards the high-level 'body and soul unity'.

And Elder Manya, there is a high probability that he has already completed the 'unity of body and soul' and is ready to prepare towards the third energy level 'Heart Light'.

Only a sublimator of this level can induce changes in the surrounding natural phenomena because of his own mood fluctuations.

"The Book of Sacrifices, called the Book of Silvershine, was once a sacred relic enshrined by the Avod Ministry, and it contains many mysteries about the dragon god...... Two hundred years ago, we and the mountain people negotiated peace with the Empire, but in fact it was equivalent to defeat, and we were able to keep our existing territory as an autonomous region, but at the price, many treasures were taken by the Empire. ”

Elder Manya raised his head, staring at the dim yellow light in the hall, and his tone was a little gloomy: "That is exactly the mistake of my ancestors—after losing the Book of Silver Glory, there has never been a third-level sublimator among the mountain people, and all kinds of powerful ritual sacrifices have been lost. ”

"Of course, two hundred years later, I have given up on rebellion completely. There is no need to rebel, and there is nothing wrong with being part of the empire for us now...... It's just strength, and we still need strength in order to maintain dignity and go further. ”

Ian nodded slightly, he could fully understand the excitement of the Cliff Elder.

The status of the mountain people in Nanling is quite high, mainly because they really defeated the imperial legions several times back then, but after the peace talks, they have never appeared strong people who can resist the sublimators of the imperial legions.

This is a kind of restriction and jealousy, just like Viscount Grant, after defeating the redwood natives, the first thing he did was to destroy the other party's swamp crocodile-related inheritance one by one.

This is not a question of waste or not, if this strong man is not completely cut off, the resources wasted in the future may cause death and destruction, which is far greater than the 'killing the chicken and taking the eggs' at the moment.

Only in this way can the mountain people be fully integrated into the empire, as they are now, they have basically become part of the South Ridge, and there are many mountain people in high positions in Nauman City.

Elder Manya is now in the stage of advancing from the second energy level to the third energy level, and if he succeeds, he will be the well-deserved supreme leader of the mountain people.

The reason why he joined the Dragon Worship Sect was probably to find a way to advance, and now seeing Ian, a young and promising imperial knight, naturally felt that he saw another kind of hope.

"But is there any more detailed information?"

Ian calmly motioned to the old man to say more, "Where's the keep?" What does it look like? What do I probably need to do to find it? ”

"Hmm."

Elder Manya stroked his beard, and after he calmed down, he told Ian in detail: "Over the years, I have also obtained a lot of information. ”

"It is rumored that the Book of Silver Yao is located in the 'Rare Rare Book Collection Room' of the Imperial Royal Library, or the private library of the Count of Phoenix, of course, it may also be the trophy collection room of General Andes back then, most likely these three."

"Whether it's the library or the earl's private library, it's not strictly guarded, and General Andes is an ancient man two hundred years ago, and his personal belongings are most likely in a museum now, and the guards are just like that."

"But whether it's the library, or the Count of Phoenix's collection room, you need at least the permission of the Royal Professor to enter, or to be invited...... The cultural standard of our mountain people...... Uh......"

Elder Manya paused for a moment, and Ian took over with high emotional intelligence: "No problem, I know an alchemy master, if it's just to confirm where it is, it's not a big deal." ”

"That's probably it." The old man touched the bone staff, and he continued: "My people have always been in the imperial capital, and they want to replace the real thing with a fake...... But so far, it has not even been possible to determine where the Book of Silver Shine is. ”

"I thought that you are an alchemist, and you can still get the favor of Master Gosai, maybe there is a way in this regard, so I can only ask you."

At this point, the old man nodded solemnly to Ian: "The Warcraft materials you want should be used as a deposit first." If it succeeds, I will not hesitate to pay a lot of money, and I will give it a generous gift. ”

"No problem."

Ian nodded clearly, this matter is not a big deal for him, anyway, he promised to come down first, and there is no hurry to deal with it.

In short, let's go to the imperial capital first, this is originally the destination of his trip this time, not to mention anything else, and the rendezvous with Isengard must also be in the imperial capital.

It's really not good, it's almost enough to copy the Book of Silver Yao with a silver chip, and then give the rubbing to the elders, anyway, with the ability of the silver chip, it's not difficult to scan a book in an instant.

Elder Manya obviously didn't plan to finish the battle, he just asked Ian to go to the imperial capital to inquire about where the book was, not to ask Ian to steal and rob it - it was really such a task, and the deposit was at least the second-level Warcraft material, and it had to be plural.

After all, with the relationship between Ian and the Eren family, as well as Master Gosai's optimism, at least there is a chance to come into contact with the Book of Silver Yao.

As Ian said, it wasn't hard for a talented alchemist who was studious and curious, and who had a royal alchemist behind him.

"Don't be reckless."

He even reminded Ian, "You are more important than the Book of Silvershine, after all, without the Book of Silvershine, I have other plans......"

"But don't be suspicious of yourself for this little thing. My commission is just for you to help 'see' if the Book of Silver Shine is still there. ”

"If you are here, you can inform my helpers in the imperial capital, and they will find a way for themselves."

"As for ...... now"

The old man got up slowly, and he motioned for Ian to follow, "I'll take you to see those Warcraft materials you need." ”
