Coming out of the teleportation array of the Demon Fortress, it was almost nightfall, and the adventurers trading in the Temple Square had already begun to pack up their trading items, preparing to go to bars and other places to fill their stomachs and live a life of style.
"Do you... seem to have forgotten something?" I stood in the teleportation array and pondered for a long time. There was always an inexplicable righteous cry, lashing my fragile soul, as if I had done something wrong again.
Hey, why did I say [again]?
"Could it be that I forgot to bring it back?" the little ghost who had already got into the necklace complained.
"You're talking nonsense, I'm not a senior!"
I was startled and quickly denied it, thinking that if my life was treated as a play and the next plot was written by the warrior of love, then my head would definitely not be saved, the alliance would be over, and the Hairy Leg Immortal might become In the new world of Kami, the entire Dark Continent will be covered with leg hair.
This is so scary, I have to seal the crow's mouth of this stupid ghost.
"Forget it, I can't remember it, it's definitely not an important thing." I patted my chest and ended the topic. I returned home to the Demon Fortress and had a good sleep again.
I didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day, then rested for a day and packed up my equipment. On the third day after returning to the Demon Fortress, I visited Uncle Ma Daou's blacksmith shop again. I originally wanted to wait until late at night to come back and give the uncle a Surprise, think about wasting time just for this kind of bad taste, that's all.
"The harvest is not bad." After commenting on my harvest this time, Uncle Ma Daou's expression was still reluctant.
After all, only a few days have passed since the departure. I just visited the Chaos Shelter alone. More than half of the journey of the River of Fire was completed by flying.
Furthermore, it’s not like you’re grinding out equipment in the City of God’s Punishment, so it’s naturally impossible to gain much. It’s thanks to the high explosion rate of the Forgotten Knights in the Chaos Sanctuary that the harvest this time is passable in terms of quantity. Otherwise, , Uncle Ma Daou must have a bad face now.
"By the way, boy, where have you been practicing these past few days?" Uncle Ma Daou asked casually, seemingly carelessly, while estimating the value of these equipment materials.
"Uh-huh, here I go..." I just wanted to show off, saying that I went to the Chaos Sanctuary to swipe a big pineapple alone, and harvested a total of two dark gold and one green, which would make Ma Daou jealous.
But when I thought about it, no, Uncle Ma Daou knew that I killed the painful worms in the world power realm, and knew how strong I was, so I would definitely not be able to scare him by saying something.
Also, a man’s sixth sense tells me that it’s best not to tell the truth.
"I went to the River of Fire and accidentally got lost there. I wandered like this for a few days. I couldn't find the way, so I came back." I rolled my eyes and lied.
Hum, yes, this is the unique skill of this druid - the tactic of pretending to be lost. I have deceived countless people. I am afraid that only an old fox like Akala can see through my lies. It's terrible. Like me, only It is really terrible for a harmless person to lie.
"No, no, no, even little Akara can't see through Xiaofan's tactic of [pretending] to be lost. I guarantee this in the name of the saint." The voice of the little ghost came from the necklace at the right time.
"Lusuo, go to sleep." I became angry at that time.
"I see, have you lost your way in the River of Fire? There are indeed many side roads there, and there are many areas unknown to adventurers... If it's your kid... it seems that it's not you anymore."
Uncle Ma Daou muttered some confusing words to himself. Although I didn’t quite understand what he wanted to say, it seemed that I had successfully deceived him. My perfect [Pretending to be lost] The tactics are so perfect, invincible.
I should have been happy, but for some reason, I suddenly felt an empty feeling in my heart.
"What happened?" I picked up a whiteboard dagger as if nothing had happened, tossed it in my hand, and asked casually.
"It's like this. Yesterday, an adventure team went to the Chaos Sanctuary and worked hard to open five seals. However, Diavolo was killed by some reckless team without even lighting a torch. Reminder, when this adventure team came back, they immediately yelled in the bar that the person who killed Diavolo was not kind. No, this matter has spread throughout the entire Demon Fortress."
With a scoff, the dagger that was thrown into the air and kept spinning fell directly and stabbed the back of my hand.
"What's wrong?" Ma Daou looked at me curiously.
"No...it's nothing. I'm also angry. Who is this guy who is so unkind? It's so abominable." I pulled out the dagger and shouted with righteousness and indignation.
The ghost saint in the necklace was already rolling on the ground laughing.
"Yeah, it's really strange. Originally, this matter should be easy to investigate. Just ask the guards at the River of Fire Transfer Station to know which team went to the Chaos Sanctuary in the past few days, but no matter who The guards there and the angels responsible for monitoring the Chaos Sanctuary all said they hadn’t seen that team, do you think it’s strange or not?”
"Yeah...yeah, it's really strange. Logically speaking, the River of Fire teleportation point is the only way to go to the Chaos Sanctuary."
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and secretly rejoiced in my decision to fly there without anyone noticing.
"So, at first I doubted whether it was a good thing you did. After all, only you have the ability to sneak into the Chaos Sanctuary quietly."
"How is this possible? I'm going to the Chaos Refuge. Do I need to go quietly? It's not like I'm doing anything shameful." I immediately put on a Chinese-character face, exuding a surge of righteousness from all over my body.
"That's the reason. Akala doesn't let you use the teleportation array. He just wants to make it more difficult for you to go to the last area, lest you wipe out all the demon kings and gods in the five major areas in one go. He also doesn't say he won't let you go. So there’s no need to do this kind of thing quietly.”
Uncle Ma Daou took the initiative to find a reason to help me get rid of the suspicion, paused, and continued.
"The most important thing is that you are lost in the River of Fire, so it is impossible to get to the Chaos Sanctuary."
I:"……"
Could it be that getting lost was the real decisive reason? How much do you believe in my tactic of pretending to be lost?
Could it be said that... it has become self-defeating and falsehood has become true?
"Anyway, since it's not you, forget it. It's not a big deal. We haven't seen such a reckless adventure team for decades. Everyone wants to find it and laugh at it, hahaha." At the end of the sentence, Uncle Ma Daou laughed heartily.
I also laughed apologetically, but my back was covered in cold sweat.
After receiving a bag of gems from Uncle Ma Daou after the settlement, I didn't even return home. I hurriedly sat in the teleportation array and left the Demon Fortress.
Anyway, let’s escape the crime scene first.
Where to go? After hesitating for a moment, I found my target - the seaport of Kurast.
I really miss her. My first real intimate contact with the pornographic maid must have started here.
I couldn't help but laugh when I remembered the appearance of that silly maid dressed in purple when she came on stage. This little maid, in order to cover up her inner timidity, would dare to do anything. What a fool.
Of course, it was also the place where I first met Amrudina. She was such a heroic, majestic, and extremely beautiful female knight back then. Why did she like to have her head touched?
Is it an inevitable law that female men will always have a cute side that is weak and shy?
I’m desperate, I’m desperate for this cute world!
The demon fortress in the second world did not have my home or the Green Forest Bar. After walking around here, I felt quite disappointed, so I simply took the teleportation array to the elven area.
Like the first world, as the relationship between humans and elves gets closer, in the second world, there is also a shorter path that can be teleported all the way to the elves. Unlike before, you had to sit in the teleportation array more than ten times in a row. Transfer station, inspected by soldiers.
In addition to wanting to meet the last demon god I had never met before, the biggest reason for coming to Kurast was to see if Arturia and the others were here.
Ever since her wedding to Linya, she had not seen Artoria again. The occasional letters she received were mysterious and she refused to tell her where she was.
In addition to Arturia, there is also little King Arthur. It seems that since that time, all the acquaintances from the elves have disappeared. There is no news anymore, and only the dirty maid is left. It seems that because of the last She was a weak puppy who had been abandoned by her owner. Although she didn't think so, she still went her own way, calling me around as her second owner, and maintaining her usual arrogant style.
Could it be that... I found clues to the second artifact fragment and went to look for it myself?
After thinking about it, I think this is the most likely possibility. Isn't this similar to the situation when she found the first artifact fragment? He also disappeared inexplicably. It was not until later, after being frustrated by the many dumbfounding traps set by King Arthur, that he thought of coming to me, a gamer at the top of the pyramid, to work together to clear the level.
The first artifact fragment is in Harrogath in the first world, so the second artifact fragment is most likely to be in the second world. I guessed this, so I came to the Demon Fortress just to catch it. Little King Arthur gave it a good try to prove that I, an avid figurine fiend, am still young.
The elf manager of the second world, Elder Mokani, who had dealt with the crystal fragment incident, personally received and entertained me. I was flattered, but the news she gave me was disappointing.
"Her Royal Highness is not here."
"Little one...ahem, where is His Royal Highness King Arthur?"
"His Royal Highness King Arthur is not here either."
"Mipa Cavalry... No, it's Milas Knight?" I almost let it slip again.
There is also a suspicion that Arturia and the others started to disappear as soon as she came back, this Knight Mipa. If we could find out more about her, we might be able to detect some clues.
Although, I really, really don’t want to see her at all.
"Milas isn't here either." Mokani continued to smile and shake her head.
"So Grandma Mokani, do you know where they have gone? I mean Artoria."
"You are Her Majesty the Queen's husband. Logically speaking, shouldn't you know better?" Mokani calmly started playing riddles with me.
"Well...even though we wrote several times, she never said where she was."
"If that's the case, it means that Her Majesty the Queen doesn't want to tell you yet, and I can't overstep my authority and violate Her Majesty's will." Her Majesty the Queen said one word at a time, and the cunning old elf in front of me blocked all my words.
"Could it be that... Grandma Mokani knows where they are? This should be able to tell me." I scratched my head and asked reluctantly.
"Yeah, I understand." After hesitating for a few seconds, Mokani nodded.
"..."
If Mokani knows, then Artoria should not be disappearing for fun, but just hiding her whereabouts from most people, including me. From her letter, it seems that Artoriya He was looking forward to giving me a surprise, probably because of this he never told me.
This golden stupid king, wasn't he always straight-forward in the past? When did he start to learn to go around in circles?
"Where is His Majesty King Arthur? With Arturia?"
"That's right." Mokani was quite accommodating and didn't make any insinuations to embarrass me.
"Where's Amrudina?"
"Together too."
"Melanas Knight too?"
"Um."
"..."
What on earth were these people doing? What was their conspiracy? It's really annoying.
"For this reason, we can't reveal any more, Your Highness." Seeing that the heat was on, Mokani immediately kept silent, unwilling to say too much about Artoria.
"Compared to this, I have answered so many questions from His Highness. Can Your Highness also answer a few of my questions?"
"Oh, of course it's no problem. If Grandma Mokani has any questions, just ask her, as long as I know." I immediately patted my chest and assured that it was nothing. Anyway, I am an elder and don't know many things. There is nothing I can't tell others. of.
Although, this doesn't seem to be something to be proud of.
"Is my great-niece okay now?"
"Grandniece?" Unexpectedly, Mokani suddenly started talking about her family, and a name I had never heard of came up.
Grandniece? Is it an elf named [grandniece]? The elves also have such weird names.
"Beya." Seeing that I was confused and I didn't have enough intelligence, Mokani seemed like she couldn't bear to witness it, so she reminded me.
"Oh, great-niece, Beja." I finally remembered.
The old elf in front of me seemed to be the aunt of the previous elf queen, according to the dirty maid.
But...
Mokani is very cunning, as can be seen from the conversation just now, and since the previous Elf Queen can become Her Majesty the Queen who shoulders the elves, and is loved by everyone, she must have extraordinary abilities. This pair of aunt and niece fully proves the importance of excellent blood relations.
Look at Beiya again. She is a complete fool. She is stupid from nature, from the heart, from the soul. She is hopelessly stupid. Sure enough, she is a bonus when the Elf Queen recharges her phone. ? I am becoming more and more convinced of this.
"Your Highness Beja?" Although I was laughing at the IQ of that idiot princess girl for being so miserable that she was on par with me, on the surface, I still maintained a serious expression and behaved myself. answered.
Elder Mokani is probably the person with the closest blood relationship to Beiya in this world, so Mokani also showed extraordinary concern for her, almost like a grandma's attitude towards her granddaughter. She stayed in the Elf Clan. For nearly an hour, most of the time she was asking about Beiya's recent situation. My mind was filled with Beiya, Beiya, Beiya, and I almost felt like Beiya.
After finally escaping Beja's curse, I made the decision to leave the elves immediately. I never wanted to hang out here again, otherwise I would inevitably mistake everyone and everything I saw for Beja.
