The aristocracy, whose hobby is the study of history, was persecuted by the royal family of the Adriel Kingdom, so they tried to raise a rebellion against the rule of the royal family.

The war ended in the defeat of the nobles, some of whom fled the kingdom and fled into the unknown areas of the map to survive; Others were arrested on the spot, some were beheaded, and some were imprisoned in the kingdom, where they were destined to never regain their freedom.

"Ah, I've seen in books about a horrible prison." Noka suddenly said, "Could it be the place where those nobles are imprisoned?" ”

There is really everything in your book...... the sentence "I saw ...... in the book" can be used as your mantra, Fang Nuo, who was lying on his shoulder, was so angry in his heart, and then continued to look at the three-dimensional map in front of him.

"I remember ......"

How could a simple human being hear the voice of the little beast on his shoulder? Noka recalls to himself:

"Its name is 'Ice Hell', and it's a terrifying place that even if a god strays into it, it's hard to escape."

The gods in the mouths of human beings are powerful beings in the beast clan who are fortunate enough to be promoted to the rank of "fairy beast" or "divine beast".

Fang Nuofu laughed at Noka's slightly vibrasive narration, not taking it as reality at all.

In his opinion, how could humans have the ability to build a prison strong enough to trap the divine beasts?

This is simply a fool's dream, and the first thought of any self-conscious orc is to feel like laughing off his big teeth...... Immediately after that, they will feel insulted and think that the orcs are despised by humans.

"At that time, the reason why the nobles of the kingdom had the power to oppose the royal family was because they held the 'Guardian Beast Seal'."

Compared to Noka, as soon as the witch's words came out, Fang Nuo's attention was aroused, and he heard a familiar word in that passage.

"Sigil of the Guardian Beast".

When constructing the herbs related to the "Flower Emperor", he repeatedly heard the same pronunciation of the word "Guardian Beast's Seal" from the prompts in his head, but he did not know the meaning of this term as a novice.

And now, he heard the word from the witch's mouth—

"The Mark of the Guardian Beast?" The young man standing across from the witch, separated by a three-dimensional map, was puzzled, "What is this?" ”

Good question! Fang Nuo was excited, and cheered in his heart for the human beings he had always looked down on.

"It's a contract." The witch replied with an unchanging face and a flat tone.

"Contract?" Noka still didn't get it.

"The nobles of the kingdom have made a pact with the orcs with supernatural powers." The witch patiently explained to him, "As long as the noble families are immortal and there is still a trace of their bloodline, this contract will not be broken or disappear. ”

As the name suggests, the "Guardian Beast Contract" is that the nobles of the human race cooperate with the powerful beasts, entrusting them to protect themselves and their families, and at the same time, they will also provide a place for the beasts to stay.

"In the past, some humans would consider their family's guardian beasts to be their own relatives." The witch said with some melancholy.

"Loved ones......" Noka could hear the sense of loss in the other party's tone, but he didn't know where to start, so he regretfully skipped the topic.

And on his shoulder, the lively Fang Nuo had already summed up his own answer.

He suspected that the witch was a fugitive from some noble family in that war.

Hell...... Hell seems to have germinated the inspiration for this "keyword", thinking that the word that appeared in the mouths of the monsters who had investigated the "monster hunter" such as Giant Bear not only showed that the witch had escaped from the war and the "hell" 11 years ago, but also revealed another possibility......

If the prison for the nobles who failed to escape in time was really a "cold hell" as Noka said, he thought, maybe the witch escaped from that "hell" and changed her fate of "never being free".

As for the loneliness revealed in the witch's words, and the feelings for the "guardian beast" expressed between the lines, he inadvertently ignored them because he had figured out something and was ecstatic about it.

This is not something to care about, Fang Nuo, who was vaguely aware of some omissions, thought that the "noble war" was all 11 years ago, and the orcs who were not able to help their contract partners win the war were just incompetent and couldn't even do what they agreed to do.

If you can't do it, why do you want to sign a contract?

Even if it is an adult Huang Xian whose family likes to cheat, he also knows how to weigh his own abilities and not do thankless things.

However, in the final analysis, it was because their family did not have a tradition of signing contracts with outsiders, and Fang Nuo quickly corrected his mentality and reduced the contempt in his heart for those orcs who were most likely to have passed away.

In the cognition of the Yellow Immortals, the creatures outside the family are the "destined ones", which are either prey used to maintain life and replenish energy, or they are used to replace the "prey" that bear the price and help them improve the spiritual power capacity in their bodies.

"Because we are small monsters...... Fang Nuo assessed himself, "After leaving the lair, it is sometimes a problem to protect yourself, so how can we talk about protecting the object of the contract?" ”

"The nobles have the help of demon beasts, but they still lost to the royal family in the end." Noka repeated what the witch was trying to say, and then added, "I have heard that there was a time in that war when the power of the nobles surpassed the royal family, and they fought back so desperately and thoroughly that they almost entered that country...... The capital of Adriel. ”

"The things in the book are really detailed." The witch chuckled in response.

Noka couldn't help blushing, and defended himself hesitantly:

"Yes, there are some things that the village chief and his old man are interested in me and specially explain them to me."

"At the time, I felt like I could share these things with Erica, so I wrote them down." His tone and pace of speech gradually became normal, as if he realized that he was not wrong, and he did not need to feel embarrassed, "I...... My memory has always been good. ”

"What's the reason for that?" He glanced at the little beast on his shoulder that was busy yawning, feeling the weight on it that was not too heavy, and resumed his "storytelling" tone, "I heard the village chief say that it was because of one person. ”

The witch tugged at the brim of her hat, and lowered her head even more, almost clinging to the clouds that floated around the highest peak of the mountains.

"It is said that his family was the mastermind of that war." Noka raised his more relaxed arm and touched his chin with his hand, "He once got a chance to spread all the historical materials that the family had investigated, and plunged the kingdom into chaos. ”

The human glanced at the area of the stereo map that belonged to "Adriel":

"A huge country is on the verge of overthrowing the ruling class because of a few things that happened in the past."

This human ...... There are really a lot to know.

The little beast on Noka's shoulder opened its mouth, and slightly adjusted its opinion about the young man in his mind.

If he had the opportunity to leave the mountain village, he would definitely be a great ...... No, Fang Nuo shook his head slightly, suddenly remembering that Noka was just a powerless mortal.

In this way, no matter how high his vision and knowledge are, his strength is not in place, and there is a high probability that he will eventually fall into endless pain.

Even a little yellow immortal like him has been taught a corresponding truth in his family: if you want to master knowledge that conforms to a certain personality, you must raise your strength to that personality, otherwise, the knowledge beyond your control will kill you.

"The book does not record the name of that man, just as it does not record the name of that kingdom." Noka made a gesture and stood upright, looking at the witch in front of him with her head bowed, "However, our village chief is also a little interested in history, and he told me the name of that person. ”

"He's ......"

"There are some things that you can know yourself." The witch jerked her head up, ignoring the fact that her actions would make the hood lose its effect on covering her face.

Silver hair hung down, obscuring her expression instead of clothing.

"You know it yourself, and that's it."

She reached forward and flipped her palm to stop her hand very close to the tip of Noka's nose.

Humans who were incapable of seeing spiritual power could not see spiritual power, but Fang Nuo, who was lying on his shoulder, could see it clearly—countless twisted and hideous spiritual power threads drilled out of the cuffs behind the witch's palm, piercing into the human face's face and squeezing into his seven orifices.

I don't know what they want to do in Noka's body...... After a brief period of time, all the lines of spiritual power dissipated as if they had never been cast.

The witch turned, waved her hand to return the map to a flat state, and then rolled herself up and returned to the pile of paper on the table.

Noka froze in place, and did not react until the witch sat back down at the small table by the window.
