Chapter 828 The Lair of the Dragon-eating Insect
"Okay, honey, that's where Claire is hiding now."

"Although I don't really want to express any opinions..."

After about three days of hiking, Lauren and Ophelia finally arrived at the first stop of their journey - Claire's hideout.

However, what appeared before Lauren's eyes was a wonderful sight that was completely beyond his imagination.

"Isn't that just an ordinary city? She just hid here so casually!"

Standing on the low hills, as far as Lauren could see, there was only an ordinary human city.

"Oh, dear, you have heard so many stories before, you should understand that this is her original nature, right? It is precisely because she can hide herself in so many lives that she can lead such powerful insects to destruction. oh."

The hypocritical "Skeleton Emperor" Claire took the body of a platinum dragon shortly after her birth. Since her soul was not affected by the world's curse, she has a normal thinking speed than other dragons. It took a thousand times longer.

So in a long but short period of time, she formulated the best plan leading to destruction for the giant insects in this world.First, she easily defeated several of the most powerful dragons and obtained the title of Dragon Emperor. Then she deliberately sent her soul into a humanoid puppet and went to the outside world to wait for those shameless creatures to raise the flag of rebellion.

If those guys want to be free, they must sell their souls to villains who covet their power.And when their souls are bound by a cunning bond, their doom is sealed.

But when the original mission was determined to be completed, her soul also lost the meaning of continuing to burn.The body of the giant dragon was destroyed by stupid insects, and the puppet holding the body was worn and dilapidated.However, in the few moments before she was destined to turn into ashes and disappear, there was a human who always wanted to save her.

"I think she should be very grateful to you, my dear. Although she is a disaster destined to destroy the world, your feelings should have been conveyed to her."

"You made it sound like I was doing something stupid..."

"No, if that weren't the case, she wouldn't be able to suppress the 'Horn'."

Maybe everything happens because of fate, or maybe it doesn't.Lauren curled her lips for a moment, then quickly walked down the hill and headed towards the city.

"Actually, I have another question."

"I will answer whatever I can, my dear."

"If Claire is originally a 'disaster' that destroys the world, then what are Mingye and Rosalin?"

As expected, Ophelia, after hearing this question, just smiled at Lauren and did not give any answer.

The final beast "World Destroyer" was born from the origin of the world, the "dead body" left behind by the hero's crusade, and the "people" who can make the dead body exert its true power.These fragmentary clues seemed to be slowly coming together under some kind of guidance. Although the truth was still shrouded in fog, Lauren seemed to be able to see a vague outline.

"So where is she hiding?"

"The 'Heart' will actively call other corpses, so as long as you feel its resonance, you will naturally find where Claire is."

Without the proper means, it would be a tricky thing to accurately find a person in such a city inhabited by humans.And if the other party is still deliberately hiding their whereabouts, then the hope is even slimmer.

"So after finding her, will we still need to fight with her?"

Lauren doesn't feel that he has much fighting strength now. Although "Heart" and "Blood" have made up for part of his missing strength, he is still not sure of defeating Claire who is experienced and has the bonus of dead bodies.

"My dear, I can't help you with this matter."

Ophelia showed her signature sly smile again. Seeing this expression, Lauren felt that she was going to get into trouble again.Although he knew that this might be part of the so-called "trial", he still felt a bit stupid for being tortured.

"That would be really troublesome."

"But before you go to find Claire, my dear, let me tell you one last reminder... In fact, in every piece of dead body, there is part of your memory of the previous generation."

A very important but somehow missing memory was actually preserved in those fragments, which was somewhat beyond Lauren's expectation.But considering the inextricable connection between himself and the world-ending beast, such a result is actually quite reasonable.

"Then you won't go in with me?"

"That's your trial, my dear. If I interfere, the result won't be accurate."

It seemed that Ophelia really didn't intend to get involved in this matter. Lauren slowly walked into the city alone while guessing her true thoughts.This city is not as prosperous and modern as the Brave Academy. It is more like a temporary settlement formed by people gathering spontaneously.

Of course, no matter what kind of city it is, it must have at least one golden capital terminal that can exchange materials to operate. Most of the information exchange and material trade will be carried out nearby, and the city can also be easily observed there. management model.

Because transactions with the Golden City can only pay for the Origin Crystal that is individually bound to each person, it is almost impossible to monopolize the market without the strength to scare most people.The large and small trucks that Lauren kept seeing on the rudimentary roads of the city also proved that the trade here was quite free.

So why is Claire hiding here?Is this due to her past habits, or is it still her nature as a disaster?

The heart core in the body was still beating slowly and did not point out the "horn" to Lauren.But he smelled a familiar smell in the air——

The ultimate power that leads the world to destruction is always permeating the city like an invisible mist.

"It's terrible."

The humans here seemed not to notice this thin filth at all, and just allowed themselves to stay in this chaos.However, Laurent did not find despair in them. Even if they were breathing in the end of destruction all the time, the residents here were no different from people in other places.

"...could it be said that the so-called end is not born from human despair?"

No one here is in despair, no one wants to destroy everything.The final power shrouding the city seemed to them like the morning fog they were used to, just a commonplace thing.

Is it that their senses have been numbed by erosion, or...

"Is the desire for destruction a part of life?"
