staring at the girl in front of her who claimed to be the princess of the Spirit Rat Clan, everyone was also stunned.

The girl in front of her was short, or, at least on the surface, she was about the same height as the dwarf, and maybe even shorter. And the figure is not as strong as the dwarf, very slender, to be honest, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, this girl is more like the size of a Barbie doll who can walk.........

"We're just a bunch of travelers."

Duanmu Huai came to Mierfi's front and stared at her. To be honest, in front of Duanmu Huai, Mirfei appeared smaller, almost the size of a figure.

"Well, then, please get out of here."

Although looking at Duanmu Huai's appearance made Mierfei a little uneasy, she still took a deep breath and stared at Duanmu Huai calmly.

"This is a cursed land, and anyone who walks into it will be cursed."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"If you don't mind, why don't you tell us more?"

“…………… Of course. ”

Soon, Milfi explained the situation of the underworld to everyone in detail.

According to Milphy, the underworld was once a scorching furnace, with flames converging into a red river that burned day and night. Later, a sapling appeared in this scorching land, it was not destroyed by the flames, but thrived, turned into a towering tree, under the action of this big tree, the original roaring filial piety raging flames gradually disappeared, and then from the dusty earth, countless plants and trees grew, forming a new, wonderful and huge underground world.

At that time, it also attracted many races to come, and later these races were also blessed by the Golden Tree, and became more and more powerful, forming civilized countries one after another.

Among them are humans, orcs, giants, and even the existence of spirit rats such as the Moon Rabbit Demon and Mirfi. They are in this underground world together, living a life of harmony and peace without quarrel with the world.

Soon, however, that all changed.

One of the tribes suddenly claimed to have been guided by the Golden Tree and demanded that all races must follow the Golden Law——— which immediately caused resentment among many other tribes, and while each tribe did consider the Golden Tree to be part of their faith, they interpreted it differently depending on the civilization.

And what this tribe did, in the eyes of others, seemed like they were planning to monopolize the golden tree with it, and naturally it could not be tolerated, so soon, war broke out.

But it has to be said that this golden clan is indeed powerful, and they eventually defeated the other tribes, seized their faith and power, and forged the Golden Law with this power. Only a few tribes escaped, such as the Spirit Rat Clan of Mirfi is one of them, after all, rats are good at escaping, when the Golden Clan came over, the Spirit Rat Clan immediately moved their family and fled to the outskirts of this underground world, where they built a small city to escape the power of the Golden Clan.

After that, the Golden Clan flourished, taking over almost the entire underworld known as the Junction.

However, the Golden Law, which was once the source of the Golden Clan's strength, was completely shattered for unknown reasons, and then a terrible curse suddenly erupted, engulfing the entire Golden Clan.

Mirphy didn't know what had happened, only that the Golden Clan, who had been blessed under the Golden Law, had now become half-dead monsters, their wills driven into madness, monsters full of hatred and twist. And the leaders of the remaining Golden Clan seem to be collecting fragments of the Golden Law and reshaping the laws of this world.

Of course, those races who had escaped the slaughter of the Golden Clan did not fail to think of taking advantage of this opportunity to recapture the Golden Tree, and they organized an army that once tried to enter the Golden Clan's royal city and recapture the Golden Tree. However, the curse and madness in the land exceeded their expectations, and the entire expeditionary force was completely wiped out, with only a few delirious survivors barely returning.

However, that's not all.

The survivors who managed to return also brought back a terrible contagion capable of infecting everyone who came near it, turning them into madness and then turning to ashes in the flames. After this catastrophe, no one dared to approach the Golden Tree, and the same was true for the Spirit Rat led by Mirfi, who had been hovering back on the outside of the Junction, monitoring everything and preventing outsiders from stepping into the Junction.

"Therefore, please get out of here at once."

After telling the story of the land, Mielfi stared at them and spoke again.

"This land has been cursed, and no one who steps into it will be able to return, please leave immediately!"

"Even if you say that, I won't give up."

Of course, Duanmu Huai would not turn his head and leave directly because of this, in fact, after listening to Mirfei's words, he became more and more interested in the golden law. Moreover, after Duanmu Huai compared this land with the map in reality, he found that almost all of the large areas of land from the Southern Territories to the Skavon Demon City coincided with this place.

Now that the world has become a fragment, it means that the world has been destroyed in reality.

So, what is the reason for its destruction?

It is now clear that the world, like the Holy City and Manalia, is stuck in an endless cycle, but every dead cycle has a reason.

The reason for the destruction of the Holy City was that the mechanics of the Mechanics summoned the demons of hell, the King of Ice.

The reason for the destruction of Manalia was the war between Manalia and Regnes started by the evil dragon Fifna.

So, what about this borderland?

What caused its demise?

And, that power......... Does it have something to do with the Skaven?

According to Mirfi, the Golden Tree originally gave a lot of racial powers, which allowed them to open up their spiritual intelligence, and even evolved into a race in human form like this, like Mirfi, and the rat guards they encountered on the periphery were all still in the form of rats. But Meelfi only has ears and a tail like a mouse, and the rest of the world is no different from humans.

Isn't that what the Skaven are like?

Originally, they were just rats, but for some reason they developed sapience and became a race with intelligence——— in fact, the Skaven people seem to be the only one on the entire planet.

After all, whether it is dwarves, humans, high elves or ogres, orcs can unmistakably verify their origins, and only the Skaven belong to a race that only inexplicably appeared after the fact.

It's as if there were no nezumi in this world, and suddenly one day the nezumi came out of the crack in the stone.

They're not monkeys, is it possible?

Besides, there are so many animals, why do they have to be rat people? Not pigs, sheep, cows, tigers, lions, if you want to talk about the number, there are millions of times more cockroaches than mice.

However, the cockroach star man with muscles all over his body still forget it, so it is estimated that he will faint directly after seeing it.

Duanmu Huai always has an intuition that this fragment of this world is likely to have some kind of inseparable relationship with the birth of the Great Horned Mouse and the Skaven Rat Man.

And the secret of all this is hidden in the golden tree.

"We've decided to head to the Golden Tree, Your Highness Mirfi, and you may think our choice is foolish, but we have something we need to do, so we're sorry we can't follow your request."

"Yes..............."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Mierfei lowered her head a little dejectedly, but at this time, suddenly, another voice sounded.

"In that case, why don't I go with you?"

Hearing this voice, Duanmu Huai and the others raised their heads and looked into the depths of the forest, only to see that in the forest, a girl walked out, similar to the previous Mirfi, she also has a pair of fluffy beast ears and long golden hair, but compared to the similar Barbie Mirfi, this girl's body shape is not much different from ordinary human girls, she is wearing skirt armor, and she holds a huge shield with a long sword in her hand. A pair of blue eyes shone with curiosity and excitement.

"I've seen what you did just now, you can defeat the Tree Guard so easily, you are indeed an extraordinary traveler, since you have decided to go to the Golden Tree, can you take me with you?"

"Your Highness!"

Seeing the appearance of this girl, Mi Erfei cried out in surprise, and Duanmu Huai also looked at her.

"You are ..............."

"Ah, hello, first meeting, I'm the princess of the forest, Mistyrina, barely the protector of this forest."

The girl named Mysterina smiled at Duanmu Huai, and then saluted.

"I wonder if this powerful iron warrior will allow me to go along?

"Your Highness, please don't make such a hasty statement!"

Duanmu Huai hadn't spoken yet, but he saw Mierfei speak with a pale face.

"You are the guardian of the forest, what would the forest be without you..............."

"I know that, Mirfi."

However, Mistyrina interrupted Mielfi with a serious face.

"You should also be well aware that the forest is becoming weaker and weaker, and the curse has begun to spread and spread, and even we will have a day when there is no way back. Therefore, I hope to be able to go to the Golden Tree and talk to Mother Earth, and maybe find the root of all this. At the very least, it's better than staying here and watching everything deteriorate and doing nothing. ”

With that, Mistrina looked at Duanmu Locust again.

"This mighty Iron Warrior has proven his strength by being able to defeat the Big Tree Guard with his bare hands, and since they don't plan to leave, don't you think someone who knows this place will be more helpful?"

"But, but I can ......... that way."

"That's right."

Hearing Milphy's words, Mysterina smiled and nodded.

"Then come with me."

Then, she spoke.
