"No matter how ominous it is, we have to find it now. Cynthia said.

"Yes, you have to find it. Old Adrian nodded, "It's now gone from an untouchable taboo to something as important as a holy thing!"

"But every time it appears, it's very ......strange," said Allen, "and while my dad said it was often found with the descendants of the four Guardians, the timing and location of its appearance were completely unpredictable, and if we deliberately searched for it, it might seriously affect our progress in finding the relics." ”

"Hmm...... I have some information to give you about this......" Old Adrian said after a moment's thought, "Although I don't know its exact whereabouts, as far as I know, the original four Guardians died almost simultaneously, and they returned to the Valley of Origin once before they died, and it was after that the whereabouts of this magic book were completely unknown......"

"Do you mean ......?"

"Did they put that book somewhere in the Valley of Origins?" I dare not say, but at least there might be a clue about it...... old Adrian said.

"Hmm...... In that case, it seems necessary to make a trip there......" said Allen, "but we don't know much about the Valley of Origin and the City of Sunshine, and there is almost no record of them in the books, so please show us the way." ”

"It's natural that there is no record in the book. Old Adrian chuckled, "Because it's not under the jurisdiction of the Magical Management Society at all." ”

"Not under the jurisdiction of the Magical Management Society?" everyone was stunned for a moment.

"And a place like this?" exclaimed Riel.

"Yes, Sunlight City is the only city on the continent that is not governed by the Magical Management Association. "Although the city is small, they have their own independent legal system, their own way of life, and their own unique leaders." ”

The old man took out a roll of parchment from his bosom and spread it on the ground.

"It's a map I drew by hand based on years of experience travelling abroad. I dare say that there is no map on the continent of Hepp that is more detailed and accurate than this one of mine. Old Adrian said proudly, "I have clearly marked the Origin Valley, the Lettery Snow Mountain, the Evil Dragon Mountains, and other places that are extremely unfamiliar to others. ”

Although the map was small and not very delicately drawn, it did have a lot more than the maps they had ever seen.

"The Valley of Origin is here. Old Adrian pointed to a place on the map and said, "The terrain around here is a little more complicated. The entire valley and Nikko City are on the Glenkron Plateau, and not far to the northwest of the valley is the source of the Source River, which meanders down from northwest to southeast to form a canyon, and Nikko City is located downstream of the Source River, at the entrance to the canyon. ”

Old Adrian explained everything in detail as he made a comparison on the map.

"Due to the rugged terrain of the upper reaches of the Origin River and the waterfalls, the shortest route to enter the Origin Valley is to enter from Nikko City downstream, and then follow the Origin River all the way upstream. "And it is up to you to obtain the permission of the King of the Glenclon Plateau." ”

"The ...... of the Glenn Crown Plateau "Allen, a little puzzled, "in this day and age...... And the existence of the king?"

Since entering the first season, the management of the Hepu continent has basically been completely handed over to the four guardians and their descendants, and after entering the second era, a new management model of the Magic Management Association has appeared, but I didn't expect that in this era, there are still 1,300 years ago monarch rule model in some areas.

"Yes, a king...... old Adrian said, "and it is ruled by a king who guards the land, the water and the people with dutiful duty, a king of virtue and talent, and a king who lives forever!"

"The Eternal King!?" Alan was shocked and guessed something.

Ashley Hill ...... A man who has received the gifts of the elves as much as I do......" said old Adrian, "and, besides, he existed before me, and may even have been the first to receive the gifts of the elves......"

"Sure enough, there are people like you who can live forever......" Alan said.

"Although this is very rare, I am obviously not unique in the long history of the Hepp continent. Old Adrian said slowly, "Speaking of which, the life of this king is quite legendary...... It was a time of war. Ashley Hill wasn't such a peace-loving king, and Sunlight City wasn't where it is now. In the beginning, he was also as passionate about war and plunder as the lords of other countries, constantly vying for power and wealth for his own ambitions, and he seemed to be born for war, and at the same time possessed excellent leadership, insight into the battle situation, extraordinary diplomatic skills, and an innate talent for magic, which made him win and win in the wars between many kings, and gradually dominated. At that time, people said that if there was a king who could survive this war to the end and finally unify the continent, it would not be anyone else, but Ashley Hill. ”

"Then why ......" Alan couldn't help but wonder a little when he heard this, "Why is such a good king ......?"

"Why is this the way it is?" said old Adrian, shaking his head, "I don't know about it, and no one knows. Only a few legends have survived...... Some say that he was seriously wounded in a certain battle and that his body could no longer support him to continue fighting, others said that the vitality of his country was greatly damaged by the long years of fighting, and he wanted to accumulate strength to continue, while others said that he simply suddenly lost interest in the war, just as he had thrown himself into the war on a whim...... Either way, the fact that he was completely away from the war and moved the whole country to what is now Glenn Crown with his people who were willing to follow him, and lived a life without any quarrel. ”

"That's interesting......" Allen's curiosity was piqued, thoughtfully, "If I have the chance, I'd like to get to know him well......"

"Of course you have a chance, if you want to see him, you have a chance. Old Adrian smiled and said, "Because although the people who live in Sunshine City worship him as the patron saint of Glenn Krone, he is still very approachable." While he never welcomed people from the Magical Management Society to his domain, he was very tolerant of other outsiders...... Of course, if you can get his approval......"
