"That's really interesting...... Hearing you say this, this king also wants to see what a magical book this is. Ashley Hill muttered for a long time, and opened a door to spacetime, "Then let's go." ”

Unlike the open valley that Eren imagined, the terrain here is quite complex and unique, and unlike the one inhabited by the dragons, there are no mountains of gold in this valley, only green mountains and green water.

They stood on the top of a small hill, and at their feet was a valley of lush vegetation, with a steaming valley and a meandering river flowing through it. However, what made Allen feel a little strange was that the river was flowing slowly, but there was an obvious "whoosh" sound, and he walked a few steps forward only to find that there was a waterfall here, but just now they were intercepted by a hill in front of them.

Although the height and width of this waterfall are limited and not at all imposing, the gentle flow of water gives it a different taste.

"This is what you call the 'Valley of Origin'. However, my subjects are more accustomed to calling it the 'Valley of Kings', for I have studied magic here for many years in search of a way to bring the dead back to life. "This river is the 'River of Origin,' and you can follow it upstream to reach its birthplace, the heart of the Glenkrona Plateau." ”

"What about the Immortal Stone?" Alan hurriedly asked, "Where is the Immortal Stone?"

"Immortal Stone?" Ashley Hill paused for a moment and pointed in the direction of the waterfall, "It's just below that waterfall...... What are you looking for it?"

"Because the clue we want is likely to be on it. Cynthia took Ashley Hill's question as she took out the Staff of Void, "This kind of stone seems to automatically record the deeds of its holders for generations, and it is obviously impossible for its owner to be unaware of such obvious traces, so we guess that our ancestors should have left some clues on the immortal stone when they returned here on purpose." ”

"......I see," Ashley Hill nodded, but his excitement decreased a little, "This speculation is not unreasonable...... But what I have to tell you in advance is that you'd better not expect too much. ”

"Why?" Alan was stunned, and a bad premonition passed through his heart, "Has it been eroded by the flowing water?"

"No, it was still there when I came here a few years ago...... It's just ......" Ashley Hill stopped talking, and after a moment of silence, he said simply, "Come with me." ”

With that, he turned left and walked into a forest path.

Several people were a little apprehensive by his series of reactions, so they had to follow closely.

The forest was quiet, isolated from the noise coming from the waterfall, and only the occasional birdsong could be heard.

Ashley Hill led them down the hill along the trail and up the River of Origin for a long distance to the foot of the falls.

"As you can see, this is the Immortal Stone. Ashley Hill pointed to a strange rock directly below the waterfall and stepped to the side.

A few people leaned forward and took a closer look.

It was almost half a man tall and had a regular spherical shape, the same color as the Staff of Void in Cynthia's hand, grayish-white with black spots like dust, and its surface was smooth, as if it had been finely sandpapered, perhaps from years of running water...... It's like a craft that's about to be finished.

However, it also made them understand in an instant why Ashley Hill just said that......

Its surface is just too smooth...... Don't say any words, not even a single depression or bump.

Several people's hearts were cold at the same time......

"It's been the way it is now since I first saw it, nothing has changed except for the size. "Jill's house is in the forest not far from here, so they often come here to practice magic." They've had access to the Immortal Stone a lot, yes, but I've never seen any writing on it. ”

Alan was a little unrelenting, and approached to take a closer look, but there was indeed not a word on the immortal stone.

"I could have avoided the hassle, but I thought it would be better for you to see it for yourself. Ashley Hill said.

"Looks like we're thinking too much......" Alan muttered quietly, unable to hide his disappointment.

"And what about their residences?" Frey asked, "where are their houses?" ”

"Unfortunately, even if you go, you won't find anything. Ashley Hill shook his head, "Those wooden houses have long since been reduced to mud after thousands of years of sun and rain. ”

Several people were completely silent when they heard the news, and it seemed that the search for the magic book had come to an end......

But at this moment, Cynthia's voice suddenly came: "It may be too early to draw conclusions." ”

Only then did they find out that Cynthia had never given up. She looked left and right around the Immortal Stone, and even used magic to isolate the water flow of the waterfall and went around behind the Immortal Stone to observe.

"Have you made any new discoveries?" asked Alan, seeing Cynthia's serious expression.

"Hmm...... I can't talk about any new discoveries, but there's something strange about it......" Cynthia said, staring at the Immortal Stone.

"Weird?"

Hearing her say this, several people hurriedly walked over.

They also followed Cynthia's example and circled around the immortal stone twice, looking closely, but still found nothing.

"What the hell is weird...... Isn't there still nothing on this?" Riel was confused.

"Huh...... Haven't you noticed yet?" Cynthia chuckled, pretending to mysteriously pull out the Staff of Void and shake it in front of their eyes.

"I see!" Seeing this, Alan suddenly brightened, and then turned his head and asked Ashley Hill: "Excuse me, is this the only immortal stone?"

"Yes...... As far as I know, there is only one piece here. Ashley Hill said, and then also fell into deep thought: "Hmm...... It's really weird......"

"What are you talking about...... What the hell is strange?" Riel was a little anxious, and he knew from the expressions of these people that he was the only one who hadn't understood it yet.

"Take a good look. Allen said.

"Take a good look...... "Riel had to stare at it for a while before pretending to say in order to save some face, "Hmm...... Ahem...... If anything, it's just that it's too round, right? It doesn't look like a natural formation...... Well...... It's a little weird......"

"Not this one. Alan smiled, not wanting to embarrass him anymore, so he said, "This immortal stone is intact, isn't it?"

"That's right!"

"The Staff of Void is made of Immortal Stone, isn't it?"

"That's right!"

"Isn't that strange enough?" said this, Alan slowed down his voice and thought for a moment, "There is only one piece of the Immortal Stone, and it is so complete, so you tell me...... Where did the stone used to make the Staff of Void come from?"
