The mine owner originally thought that Mei Qing would resign to him in the next few days, but the latter still worked as usual every day, without any unusual behavior at all. The poor mine owner thought about it, but he was entangled in his various conclusions, and several times Mei Qing came to report to him, and God knows how hard it took him to swallow the questions that came to his mouth back into his stomach.

He pondered and recalled what he had seen that night, and had almost exhausted most of the brains he had accumulated in his life, and he had hardly ever bothered to do anything other than settle accounts. His wife scolded when she saw the mine owner's absent-mindedness, thinking that her husband must have been hooked by a cheap woman with a water snake waist nearby, knowing that although he was old and unsightly, he was the richest man in the neighborhood.

On the other hand, the Queen Mother's visit did not make Mei Qing feel remorseful, but only reminded him of the past that he thought he had forgotten. In fact, he didn't know where he should go in the future, but he knew that he would never go back to the palace. One thing is for sure, it's time to get ready to leave the Salt Ore Canyon, and if the Queen Mother finds him, then the rest of the palace will find him one after another. The Queen Mother has great power in the entire Ansu and even the Senate, no matter who is the king of Ansu, she can't shake the position of the Queen Mother, Mei Qing knows that her adoptive mother is a woman who will not give up until she reaches her goal. Of course, the Queen Mother loves him very much, but her maternal love is contrary to his sense of mission and will pull him back to the old world. Mei Qing didn't take Kuller's pursuit to heart at all, but he couldn't continue to entangle with them anymore, he had to hide himself again.

Mei Qing also couldn't allow herself to make any response to Lajie's show of love. She is the jewel of Batu, the high priest of the Temple of Astar, who is also the lord of the Rose Sandcastle, one of the kingdoms of the Yu States. How could Lajah, so pure and delicate, like the most innocent lily, commit herself to such an upside-down laborer? From the moment he renounced his throne and went into self-exile, he was destined to go alone.

Mei Qing fell into his most melancholy thoughts, and unconsciously deviated from his original route. He looked up, only to find that he had come to the forbidden area of Colin Lieshan, and the sheep had long been left without knowing where he had left them. Located in the southern part of the Valley of the Moon, northwest of Ansu, at 3,588 meters above sea level, the mountain is the highest mountain in the entire eastern peninsula and belongs to the Surguman Mountains. Mount Colin is a famous extinct volcano, and fragments of the story of the ancient eruption can only be found in myths and legends everywhere.

A rare manuscript from Ansu University describes the horrors of volcanic eruptions in ancient times: "The earth is shaking, the sun is completely hidden, darkness is covering the world, and only the flames on the top of the Kolinlie Mountain are blazing, as if the sky was scorched by blazing lava." Thunder struck the mountain, smoke rose at a rapid pace, and dense clouds hung over the mountainside. Like an awakened beast, Mount Corint opened its bloody mouth and roared, lightning was its fangs, and fiery magma erupted. A deep hole was cracked in the sky, and great hailstones fell from the sky to destroy all living things······"

Mei Qing couldn't help but whisper the literature and poems that she knew well when she was a child, while eagerly wanting to get out of the forbidden land and find the sheep. But turning left and right, it was like getting lost, and the camel that had been tamed was like being drunk, either going in the wrong direction or nailing itself to the spot and refusing to take a step.

The sky was gradually darkening, and there was a smell of burning sulfur in the air, and Colin Lieshan actually began to smoke! Mei Qing felt the ground tremble slightly under his feet, and none of the sand eagles and jackals that he usually saw everywhere were now gone, and his camel began to be restless. It's getting darker and darker, and it's just past noon!

"Could it really be that he angered the heavens because he entered by mistake?" Mei Qing was very flustered, he had never encountered such a thing, this was the only explanation he could come up with.

He jumped down and held the mad camel and tied it to the trunk of the tree, and the usually docile animal began to wail. Mei Qing hurriedly opened the cloth bag and rummaged through it, intending to find a flint and steel to light the spare oilcloth torch.

At that moment, he felt a light behind him.

Turning around, a group of men on white camels appeared behind him, and for a moment he thought it was Ansu's people. But on closer inspection, he had never seen these people dressed like before. They were unusually tall, dressed in extremely white and plain robes, all with short hair and no ornamentation, and two long sharp knives at their waists. They didn't look like warriors, they didn't look like priests, they didn't look like commoners, they didn't look like nobles. For a while, Mei Qing couldn't find a clue that could deduce their identities.

At this point, they made way and someone came up from behind. The man was tall, he was also dressed in a white robe, but without a sword, and wore a simple Adamantite Crown on his head.

There was no illumination, and the light seemed to come naturally from them.

The leader came to the front of the team, Mei Qing looked at him, feeling something slowly awaken in his heart. The chief's eyes were soft, his skin was fair, his face was majestic, and the whole person seemed to walk in the light, and what was even more strange was that it was impossible to guess his age from the leader's appearance. His appearance was young and energetic, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and Mei Qing stared at the leader and couldn't take his eyes off at all.

"Mei Qing, we meet again. ”

This voice was like a fire that ignited the fuse of memory, and countless sparks of revelation jumped and crackled in Mei Qing's mind.

"Yes, King of Rest, but how many times have we met?"
