PS: Thanks to qiilinn, Jsfish for the monthly pass

"There was once one and only dynasty in our world that ruled all the known territories, they were powerful and mysterious, they were also extremely cruel, they used the most terrible power and means to enslave the people they conquered, until the end of the dynasty, this dynasty you should know. Belif said, the light of the campfire casting different shadows on his face, making his expression look a little mysterious.

"You're talking about the Briggs dynasty?" said Gehr.

"That's right, it's this mysterious and powerful dynasty, the first great empire to complete the unification of all human civilizations in our world, and the birthplace of our current culture, even in its heyday, Philippe is completely incomparable. There was a hint of yearning on Bellive's face.

"Although even the most powerful dynasty will come to an end, the Briggs dynasty has left too much wealth to this world, and its ruins have always been the most desirable place for explorers, and the origin of all the mysterious powers of alchemy and mystic art has been unearthed from the ruins of this dynasty. ”

"Ruins, so our destination this time is the ruins of the Briggs dynasty?" Gehr looked down and thought for a moment, then asked.

"Yes, we're going to one of the ruins of the Briggs dynasty this time. Belif nodded.

"In addition to the known excavated ruins, it is confirmed that only the Foggy Mountains, the Moos Mire, and the Tamoli Triangle may still have unexcavated Briggs ruins, but this place is ...... now," Carmerita continued as she glanced around, "...... It's obvious. Not any of the above. ”

"As I said, this is Veris. Belriff chuckled.

"Then the Veris you are talking about is the world created by the gods in mythology?"

It can be understood as another world. But I don't know if it's the mythical one. Belif raised his head and said in a low voice: "This place was actually originally part of our worldly realm. ”

"What do you mean?" said Gell looking at Bellive. Confusion flashed in his eyes.

"This land was originally part of the royal domain of the Briggs dynasty, but I don't know when the road began to break away from our world and become a part of Veris, like stuffing part of one egg into another. Beliff explained at a very slow pace, making a corresponding movement in his hands. "Although it is not clear what caused this to happen, it is clear that the rulers of the Briggs dynasty at the time knew why, so they invented the Gate of Phladhanas as a connecting passage between the two spaces......"

Gehr and Camerita were amazed by the secret that Belif had revealed, but Gehr still prevented Belif from giving a loose explanation: "Well, the purpose of your visit is for the ruins. But this kind of action is going to take me and Camerita with you?"

Ignoring Gehr's question, Belif continued to say to himself: "In fact, the most mysterious and desirable thing about the Briggs dynasty is their immortality ceremony. ”

"Rite of immortality?" Gehr was slightly stunned, and his mind immediately recalled what he had experienced at Broseham Castle, the skeletons in the mysterious altar embracing each other......

"Yes, it is said that all the secrets of the royal family of Briggs are in this rite of immortality, but the records of the world and those scholars who have concluded in various sources that it is a ritual to prolong the life of mankind and even to attain eternal life are only a false information that has been transformed by false rumors. In fact they were wrong, this ritual does allow humans to reach immortality, it's just ......"

"Belriff. You come here. At this moment Goodard came over and interrupted Beliff.

"Hmm. Belif nodded and stood up.

Goodard gave Gehr and Camerita a cold look, then turned to leave.

It's been a long time. Belif didn't come back either, and Gehr and Camerita saw that they couldn't finish the conversation with Belif today, so they went back to the carriage to rest.

......

The northeastern area of the Great Fedak Forest.

Tree compartments. A convoy was moving slowly.

Today is the third day that Gehr and Belif have arrived in Veris, and the two-day trip that Belif has spoken of clearly fails to take into account the "hospitality" of the not-so-friendly natives.

After a fight with a tribe of iguanas passing by. It took half a day for the group to shake off the tracking of these persevering dwarf natives and get back in the right direction. But the estimated time is clearly not enough.

These days, Ger and Carmelita haven't had a chance to continue communicating with Belif, and the events of that day don't seem to be taken to Belive's heart, so the conversation about the last time is over for the time being.

The group continued to rush non-stop, and finally approached the destination set by Beliff.

In the afternoon, the convoy stopped at a very special place.

Gehr got out of the carriage and looked ahead, it was a road that looked like a cave, with trees on both sides overlapping each other, so that the space above the road was completely obscured, dark and dark, and looked like a tunnel dug in the mountains.

But strangely enough, the branches and leaves that make up the top of the passage hang many thumb-sized yellow fruits, which glow in the darkness and scatter the ground in small pieces, forming a path guided by light.

"This is it. When Belif saw the passage, his otherwise serious expression relaxed.

"Drive!"

Under Beliff's guidance, the groom made a sound of his whip and let the carriage begin to move slowly towards the passage.

But it was strange that as soon as they came to the passage, the horses immediately stopped, and refused to move any further step, and entered the passage, and no matter how much the groom drove them, they would at most snort and shake their heads and refuse to move forward, and the horses would turn around and go back in a hurry.

The coachman kept waving his whip, his mouth kept shouting, and his busy face was covered with sweat. But it's still useless.

"It looks like the horses can't get in. Belif frowned at the situation.

"I'll stay outside, and you take some of the people inside. Goodard stepped forward to take a look. After thinking about it for a while, I made a decision.

"Hmm. ”

Belif didn't hesitate. Some of the men carried down the boxes of books from the wagon full of books, and the four of them carried one box in a group, carrying a total of three boxes and following Belif into the passage.

"Let's keep up. Carmelita whispered.

Gehr nodded, and Carmelita followed the man carrying the box inside. According to these observations, the people of the Holy Spirit Sect are clearly divided into two factions, with Belif and Gudal each leading the faction, and Gehr and Carmelita are naturally more willing to follow Belif than the Gudar faction, which has Bertalman and Booms.

As he walked into the passage, Gehr felt a moist and warm breath coming to him. The data in the corner of the eye is constantly refreshing, showing that the humidity and temperature here are a cut higher than outside.

The ground was a little wet, and every time you stepped on it, it left a footprint, some dead branches fell on it, and some of them even sent out new green shoots.

Gel and Camerita controlled their speed and followed the back of the group, slowly walking through the passage.

Click!

Gehr stepped on a dead branch and made a crisp sound.

The sound apparently disturbed the natives of the area, and a hedgehog, half a man tall, poked out of the grass, its little eyes rolling a little bewildered. looked at the "visitor" in front of him in a daze.

It looked like it was still asleep and hadn't fully woken up, but it took a while for it to react and shrink into the grass. And he was gone.

Gehr looked up and saw a branch on his head bearing a few red fruits, but it was the size of a fist, and it was as red as a flame. So he took it off and tore off a small piece. Hold carefully in your mouth.

A fresh and rich sweetness immediately spreads over the taste buds, and then a little sour. It becomes hot and spicy after the most stingy, and the taste is very good. However, Gehr didn't dare to swallow it, carefully looking at the constantly refreshing data in front of him, ready to spit out the flesh in his mouth at any time.

"After the analysis, the fruit has no toxic substances and is safe. Note that this fruit contains a lot of beneficial substances, and long-term use can enhance physical fitness, please name it. ”

"Red fruit. Geer didn't expect that picking a fruit casually could improve the body's physique, although it has the premise of taking it for a long time, it is still a very valuable fruit.

When he looked up, he saw that there were still many of these fruits on the branches, so he picked a few more and put them in his pocket.

Gehr's actions also caught the attention of Carmelita and several of the cultists who were watching him.

Seeing Camerita's turning gaze, Gehr handed her a few directly. The goddess looked at the fruit in her hand suspiciously, and then looked at Gehr, then took a careful bite, swallowed it after a while, and then raised her head, smiled at Gehr and nodded.

Seeing that Gel and Camerita had eaten, several disciples also picked a few, but they didn't dare to eat them directly, but kept observing Gel and Camerita to see how they reacted.

At this moment, Belif came over, saw Ger and Carmelita eating the fruit, frowned, looked up and plucked one from it, broke it, sniffed it carefully, then licked the juice inside, and closed his eyes.

After a while, Belif spit out the contents of his mouth and said in a deep voice to Geer: "This is no problem, but you must know that everything here is different from our world, don't eat indiscriminately." With that, Belif reappeared and walked back to the front of the line.

Gehr smiled and didn't answer. He can analyze the composition of matter, of course, he will not say it.

A little hiccup passed like that.

After turning a few corners in the passage, and after walking for about half an hour, the people in the passage finally saw the afterglow of the setting sun again.

In front of him was a large wide meadow.

In the middle of the carpet-like lawn, a giant tree stood, its dense foliage rustling in the breeze, shrouded in a golden-red glow in the reflection of the setting sun.

"Welcome, there's a guest coming!" (to be continued......)
