In the distant ancient times, although the ancient dragon was the king, the border was still wild, and there were still various indigenous gods, these gods had their own dependents and people, and they were divided into one side.

Later, the fledgling Golden Dynasty went to war and ended the Age of the Gods.

The gods either withdrew from the borderlands, were defeated and reduced to slavery, or were sealed in the depths of the earth without seeing the light of day.

Their families and people were also slaughtered by the Golden Dynasty.

This is especially true of the Giants, who worship the Flame Gods, because the Flame of Extinguishing is dangerous enough to burn down even a golden tree.

However, the Giants have a petite group of low-level giants who have allowed the race to survive by defecting to the Golden Dynasty.

They are the mountain demons.

It's a pity that the mountain demons who betrayed their faith did not receive the blessing of the Golden Tree.

Not only that, but in order to better control, the Golden Dynasty ripped off their bellies, lodged the one-eyed of the power of the evil god, and drove them as slaves.

Therefore, all the mountain demons that can be seen in the junction area have empty stomachs, lacking internal organs, and some even have weapons and stone tablets sealed as suppressive objects.

Only the mountain demons in the Lienia region are slightly more equal in status.

At the call of the Full Moon Queen, the royal family of Kalia cooperated with the Mountain Demon, not only recruiting them as royal knights, but also allowing them to learn pyroxene magic.

Iggy the Blacksmith is one of them.

As one of the few wise men among the mountain demons, Iji is Lani's military advisor, giving her advice and has an extremely exquisite blacksmithing skill.

Knowing too many secrets, Iggy wears a mirrored helmet that can bounce off all distractions.

Even the supreme will, and the finger messengers under his command, could not influence his thinking and spy on his brain.

Staying on the road to the Walled City of Kalia all year round, with an anvil in front of him and a large book in his hand, Iggy seems to be a mountain demon blacksmith who likes to read, but in fact he is always to monitor the movements of the cuckoo army on the other side of the lake.

At first, when Finlay and Seren arrived, he kindly reminded him.

Say that there is a magic trap set by the royal family of Kalia ahead, and if you don't want to follow in the footsteps of the stupid cuckoos, don't go close.

Finlay gladly accepted the suggestion and chose to camp in the nearby ruins.

During the ensuing conversation, Seren discovers that Iggy is highly accomplished in magic, and the two happily exchange ideas about magic.

Finlay didn't understand, so he began to inspect his surroundings until Leon returned.

The tent and food were sent by the attentive Lani after Leon reached a consensus with Lani in the large library.

"A hard-mouthed and soft-hearted tsundere princess." Li Ang commented on this kind of behavior.

Then he asked, "How is Your Highness doing now?" ”

Finlay replied wistfully, "It's still the same, and there's not the slightest sign of awakening. ”

"Rest easy." While Leon enlightened her, he brought good news: "Now the royal family of Kalia should no longer stop us from passing." ”

"It's just that you need to take a big lift to go to the Yatan Plateau, do you have the runes to open the lift?"

Finlay glanced at him: "Who told you that you must take the elevator to the Yatan Plateau?" There is a valley beyond the walled city, and at the end of the valley is a path leading to the plateau. ”

"Only nobles and warriors summoned by the royal city are eligible to ride the Grand Lift."

"Everybody else usually follows this path."

"You don't look like a normal person, you know a lot when you shouldn't know, and you're stupid like a dung beetle when you should know."

In the face of the female knight's cynicism, Leon was speechless.

He didn't even sit on the elevator back then, and directly teleported the blessing point.

But there is an evil way, he knows, there is a kind of monster called [Captive Girl Doll] in the Kalia Academy, the player is commonly known as the Iron Maiden, and if she grabs and swallows it into her stomach, it will be directly teleported to the Volcano Mansion, and through the Mansion, you can also reach the Yatan Plateau.

"Yes, yes, thanks to you all the way, my dung beetle didn't starve to death."

After hearing this, Fen Lei suddenly became angry: "Scolding me around the corner, right?" Don't think I don't understand! ”

"How is it possible, it's too late for me to respect you." Li Ang said matter-of-factly.

"It's not big, it's not too small." Finlay muttered, and then gave a rough explanation of the next route to prevent him from being in this confusion again.

"There is a Sun Yin City on the Yatan Plateau, and the city lord has great respect for His Royal Highness, so we will rest there for a few days, and then bypass the royal city, climb the mountain to transform into the Holy Snow Field, and then return to the Holy Tree from the Snow Field Ritual Town."

"Do you understand that now?"

Li Ang nodded honestly: "Understood, Your Excellency Legion Commander." ”

Fen Lei was very satisfied with his attitude, and hit the railroad while it was hot: "After arriving at the altar, you can't mess around like before, and escorting His Highness well is the right thing." ”

Li Ang promised: "No problem, I will definitely listen to you when the time comes!" ”

"When is the time?" The female knight keenly grasped the loophole in his words: "You mean that you won't listen to me before you get to the altar?" ”

Li Ang snorted: "I'll go see the teacher, we'll talk later." ”

Finlay gritted his teeth as he looked at his fleeing back, his fists creaking.

With such a subordinate, sooner or later he will be angry to death.

On the other side, a few hundred meters ahead of the ruins, Seren was discussing astrology with Iggy.

Li Ang, who had wandered over, stepped forward and greeted, "Teacher Seren." ”

"You're back." The sorceress sat on a stone at random at this time, her expression relaxed and elegant, not at all like a refugee: "You don't need to call me teacher, I haven't taught you anything yet." ”

"Sooner or later." After Leon finished speaking, he looked at Iggie: "Hello." ”

"Hello, guests from afar." Even if the mountain demon talks to people, he never puts down the book in his hand: "Old man, my name is Iji, and I have heard about your deeds from the mouth of Lord Lani. ”

Leon smiled, "I guess she doesn't think very well of me." ”

Iggy didn't answer directly, but said slowly, "There are two sides to everything, and most people can only see one of them. ”

Li Ang sighed that he deserved to be a military advisor, that is, he could speak.

The mountain demon continued, "I just saw the commotion of the stupid cuckoos on the other side of the lake, thank you again for helping us. ”

"Ranny-sama has heard about this, and has ordered me to deliver a gift to you."

He took out a hand-cranked bell that was a little miniature to him, and introduced, "Soul Summoning Bells, magical items that can summon souls from ashes. ”

Li Ang took it and looked at it, and he said that the last time he met Lani, he always felt that there was something missing.

It turned out that I forgot about it.

This thing can turn summoned souls into its own thugs, and it is a good treasure, and it belongs to the same legacy of the Snow Witch Rena, along with Torret.

According to the normal process, after obtaining Torret's approval, Lani will take the initiative to send the soul summoning bell.

As a result, because some people always made her angry, she had to go around in a big circle before giving this thing out by someone else's hand.

The side also shows that she doesn't want to see Li Ang now.

"Thank you, Princess Lani, on my behalf." Leon unceremoniously put the Soul Summoning Bell into the equipment slot.

Iji replied, "I'll tell you about it." ”

"By the way, I have some necessary information to share with you here, about the Eternal City."

"After a long period of investigation, we already know the location of Nollonn, the fog forest of Nimgeof, and after going down from the well in that place to the underground, you can see Nollonn when you look up."

"It's just how to get there, so far we haven't been able to find the right way."

"Lord Lani didn't want you to know this, but the reason why I told you was because of my selfishness, old man, and I hope it will help you."

"Thanks for the reminder." Leon said confidently, "Time will tell you about your vision." ”

The old mountain demon laughed a few times: "Then I will wait for that day." ”

The conversation between the two ended, and Leon and Serene returned to the ruins.

On the way, Seren, who had been silent just now, suddenly asked, "Are you looking for the Eternal City?" Can you count me as one? ”

The Lost Eternal City is inextricably linked to the origins of pyroxene magic, and it's no surprise that she'd be interested.

Li Ang persuaded: "Think about your current situation, don't get involved in these things anymore." ”

"And don't you hate the Kalia royal family because the Full Moon Queen forbids studying origins, and joining means cooperating with them."

Serian looked at him with intriguing eyes: "You know so much. ”

"Not really." Leon laughed at himself: "I'm a dung turtle who doesn't know anything. ”

This sentence may have inadvertently struck the unique laugh of the sorceress, who put her arm on Leon's shoulder, clutched her stomach and laughed.

It took a long time to gradually calm down.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and explained, "Only by recognizing your own shortcomings can you become a qualified magician, this is the first lesson I will teach you. ”

"Teachable." Leon joked, "Then can I call you teacher now?" ”

"Absolutely." Serian said solemnly: "I recognize you as an apprentice." ”

While the master and apprentice were talking enthusiastically, the strange voice of the female knight Fen Lei sounded: "You are actually back, why, the royal family of Kalia is so poor that they don't even leave a meal?" ”

Her main target is actually Leon, and Serene is the fish in the pond that has been affected.

Seeing this, Li Ang immediately flattered: "I want to drink your stewed broth more than the royal dinner, so I'm back." ”

Who knew that Fen Lei saw through it at a glance: "Lie, you obviously drank a sip last time!" ”

"One bite is enough for me to remember for a lifetime!" Li Ang said confidently.

Se Lian looked at the two of you coming and going, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

In the end, the dinner of the three of them was a rabbit and mushroom soup, accompanied by Lake District bread, the soup was stewed by Finlay, the mushrooms were picked by Selian, and the bread was given by the royal family of Kalia.

Finlay's attitude towards him changed for the better.

But it didn't last long before Finlay wanted to stuff him into a soup pot and soak him to death.

"You're leaving again, and you're going back to Galid!"

"Even if I say you're a dung beetle, there's no need to really stuff dung into your brain!"

"No, I don't agree!"

Galid, located in the southeast of the Junction, borders Nimgefo, and is also the place where Malenia's southern expedition was broken and sunk.

And it was no one else who defeated her and unleashed the crimson corruption in her despair.

It is none other than Lani's own big brother, General Shattered Star - Ratarn.

The information shared by the military advisor Iji to Li Ang before was actually useless, and the real finding of the breaking point in the Eternal City was actually on this eldest brother.

As for why Lani and her subordinates didn't think about him, it may have been ignored, or it may have been intentional, not wanting to have too much to do with Ratarn.

Leon didn't have that many worries, and Galid was definitely going to make a trip.

Not only to complete Lani's mission, but also for himself.

The Eternal City is not a single city-state, but a whole three. The first is called Nokstella, which means 'stars of the night', and is located deep in the depths of Lienia, the second is called Nokron, which means 'Veil of Night', and is located beneath the Gelid, where Iggy mentioned earlier, and the third is located under the royal city, or at the base of the Golden Tree, but the name has long been lost.

All three city-states were important to Leon.

Nock Stella has the Dark Outcast, Novron is next to Monger's Blood Dynasty, and the Nameless City is half a Dead Rune.

Also, Ratharn and Mongue are both Monarchs of the Shard.

Now that he has started to collect the Great Rune, he will feel a loss if he misses any of them.

So when he heard that Fen Lei did not agree with him leaving, he patiently persuaded him: "Don't worry, I won't delay for too long, as short as a day or two, and as long as three or five days to come back." ”

Fen Lei yelled at him, "Am I worried about time, I'm worried about you dying there!" ”

"You are a venerable rot, what is the difference between going to Galid and looking for death now? As your Legion Commander, I am responsible for your life! ”

Leon knew that she was genuinely thinking about herself, but there were some things that she couldn't explain to her.

"Or you take Your Highness first, I will ask the teacher to come with you, and finally we will meet on the Yatan Plateau."

"You!" Fen Lei was speechless, kicked him viciously, and turned to walk out of the ruins.

Serian looked at the burning fire in front of her: "She seems to be really angry." ”

"It's just a little difference on the route, it's not a big problem." Leon still has that calm look.

The female knight actually couldn't restrain him at all, but the two of them were friends who shared hardships, and he wouldn't just leave if it was reasonable.

Just as he was thinking about how to solve it, Serian suddenly said: "I don't want to leave Lienia now, so I can't accompany her to the Yatan Plateau." ”

Li Ang suddenly cried and laughed: "Don't make a mess here." ”

"Okay." Seren's face flickered in the light of the fire, "I'm going to try to join Iggy and them, maybe that princess of the moon is different from her mother." ”

"It's really different." Li Ang subconsciously replied, but immediately reacted: "Huh? ”

Seren explained unhurriedly: "What you said before makes a lot of sense, with my current situation, I should have settled down as soon as possible, since I was expelled from the academy, I haven't calmed down to study magic for a long time. ”

"Since you want to be your teacher, you can't regress."

After hearing this, Li Ang thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem like a good choice for Serian to join Lani's side.

After all, what Lani had to do was too dangerous, and none of her men survived in the end.

"Actually, I have a better idea. Back to college. ”

Among the academic mages, most of the hard bones have been plowed by Li Ang, and it should be no problem to hold power with Seren's strength, as long as you don't touch Renara, Lani won't care.

The only thing to be aware of is to hide the news of the two academy founders from Seren, preventing her from training herself into a ball.

It just so happened that one of them was in Gailid at this time, and he was able to handle it easily.

Leon has been hungry for origin magic for a long time.

After listening to his suggestion, Seren thought for a long time without giving an answer, but whispered to him: "Finlay seems to be secretly watching you. ”

Li Ang replied angrily: "That's looking, that's spying on me, I'm afraid I'll run away." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of broken masonry taken from the edge of the ruins was thrown in, filled with the wrath of the female knight.

"What's wrong with monitoring you, break your legs if you dare to run!"

"Even if I carry it, I will carry you back to the sacred tree!"

Leon raised his hand to grab the masonry that flew towards his head, and teased: "Then are you carrying me or Malenia?" ”

"You me! I've got my own way! Finley's voice filled the ruins: "Also, call Your Highness!" ”

Leon was about to say something more, but heard a faint cough from the tent behind him.

His eyes widened instantly, and he turned to look.

And Finlay was still shouting unrelentingly outside: "No words, let me tell you, there is only one way in front of you, and that is to listen to me."

"Stop shouting!" Li Ang said loudly: "Your Valkyrie Highness seems to have woken up!" ”
