The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 519 The road ahead and hope

Listening to the dragon Figueras talking about the most difficult things in the wilderness like a treasure trove, Allen's heart was not as calm as he seemed on the surface. It turned out that there were so many secrets hidden in the wilderness that Allen thought he knew very well, which suddenly knocked away some of his gradually growing complacency.

"I have also been to the Misty Forest, and I also..."

Allen wanted to mention the labyrinth in the misty forest, but as he spoke, he suddenly remembered that the ruins of the labyrinth seemed to be still a secret. Except for the natural temple and a very few wilderness tribes, few people knew about the ruins. The presence.

"It seems that this misty forest is not as dangerous as described!"

"..."

Figueras glanced at Allen contemptuously, and then said, "You want to talk about the maze ruins under the forest, right?"

"What does the female womb represent? Have you ever thought about it? It is the place of hope and nurturing for new life, and it is also the place with the most vitality in the wilderness. According to the secret information passed down by our dragon clan, if the pet beast of Goddess Mansha is still alive, In the world, then the place it is most likely to stay is the deepest part of the maze."

"Even our dragon clan regards that place as a forbidden area. No dragon dares to set foot in it. That is, you adventurers dare to break in easily because you don't know the inside story."

"That's not right. When we were in the misty forest, did we encounter the legendary dragon?"

Allen heard the flaw in Figueras' words and questioned it.

"That idiot dragon has not been cared for by his parents since he was a child. He has been relying on instinct to survive. How could he know these secrets? Later, he hid in the misty forest, which made him less dangerous to be hunted. However, you have never doubted it. , why doesn’t anyone in your wilderness legend hunt it down?”

Figueras replied disdainfully.

"Okay, don't interrupt, you've taken this topic astray!!"

"I think you're stuck at the legendary high level now. Is there no way to go further?"

"...What do you want to say? Do you want to tell me how to break through the demigods?"

Allen suddenly became interested and stared straight at Figueras' big green-skinned face.

"I don't know how you can break through to demigods. We dragons don't have the advanced rules of your humanoid intelligent species, so we don't know much about it. However, I dare to say that if there is any place where you can break through, If demigods can help, then Yueya Lake is definitely the first choice when it comes to overcoming others.”

"Of course, if you are willing to give up your current tribal power and join the Church of the Natural God System, they may also be able to tell you about this."

"But I believe that Alan, you are not a guy who would give up his tribe and himself for a shortcut, so I'm afraid you wouldn't have chosen this path from the beginning!"

"Did you really think that I was just eating, drinking and having fun during the few years I spent at Namur Fortress?"

"No!! I just want to observe you closely to see if you are the kind of goblin who is willing to give up hard things and whether you are a guy worthy of being a partner!!"

"Although I am not too old among dragons, I have experienced much more than you, a bugbear. I have experienced almost all the suffering and betrayal you have encountered, but you have not experienced it. The various pursuits and desperate situations were even more enriching experiences for me."

“There are so many experiences that I don’t want to recall, so I no longer dare to have high expectations for you ant-like little people!!”

Suddenly, Figueras, who had been acting wild and unrestrained in front of Allen, suddenly changed into a sentimental face, which really made Allen feel somewhat awkward and unexpected.

"If I hadn't been very clear about the dangers in the Crescent Lake ruins, I might not be able to handle them on my own. I would not have asked outsiders to cooperate with us to explore the ruins together."

"I would like to ask, why are you obsessed with this ruin? Since you dragons know so many secrets about Feynman's world, I think it shouldn't be too difficult for you to choose a more suitable place to take risks, right?"

Although he was already attracted by the ruins of Crescent Lake, Allen, who was thoughtful, still wanted to know more and tried to find out the flaws in the other party's words.

"Do you think these ancient ruins are the same as the products sold in your market? Do you think you can have them? As for the Crescent Lake ruins this time, if I hadn't happened to meet and get the Brilliant Heart beacon, I would have forgotten it. Even if I know there are ruins in Crescent Lake, there is no way for me to enter!!”

"If an ancient ruin was so easy to discover, I'm afraid there would have been no trace of these ruins many years ago!! This world has magical magicians and eternal gods. They have too many This method hides a ruins in the cracks and locks between planes, so that people know the existence of these ruins but cannot see or touch them."

"If you had encountered such a great opportunity to get in-depth contact with a ruins that may contain a lot of wealth and knowledge, wouldn't you be tempted??"

"Anyway, I can't do it! If I really encounter a ruins, I will definitely have to scrape the ground and take away all the useful things inside!!"

After being serious for just a few minutes, Figueras was immediately brought back to his original form. At this time, Figueras's eyes were full of lust for the treasure, and he gritted his teeth and spoke out.

"..."

Allen was not moved by the other party's reasons.

"Okay, I admit, I do have reasons to take risks."

Figueras saw Allen's hesitation and said the most important reason in his heart.

"When we dragons are about three thousand years old, we will have to face a hurdle just like you humanoid intelligent creatures when you are promoted to legend. Although our level of shackles is not as difficult as your journey to find your own legend, it is It is also an extremely important step for us, the Dragon Clan.”

"I came to the civilized world to venture out to find a way to break through this shackles. My intuition told me that there are opportunities in the ruins of Crescent Lake that can allow me to break through."

Allen's eyes did not leave the face of the hobgoblin transformed by Figueras for a second. He just observed the emotional changes in the other person's golden pupils, and did not feel any sign of falsehood. “Then you said there might be information about breaking through the demigods, is that true?”

Since they were so honest with each other, Allen stopped being secretive and asked the questions he cared about most.

"I can't guarantee that there will be information in this regard, but what I want to say is that this ruins is the place where you are most likely to come into contact with this information at this stage."

"If our clan's documents are correct, the remnants of the goddess Mansha who once lived in the Crescent Lake ruins have been passed down by demigod-level powerhouses for thousands of years. They are the most powerful and inherited among the five remnants of them. of."

"Moreover, in the deepest part of this ruins, it is very likely that the divine power of Goddess Mansha remains. This divine power is the most critical energy for you to break through the demigods and for me to break through the shackles."

"Divine power? That is..."

Allen frowned, curious about this unfamiliar word.

"This is the source of power for many gods in the endless starry sky. It is a higher level of energy, possessing mysterious and powerful power that can destroy the world!!"

"Although we dragons have different power systems from your humanoid intelligent creatures, we still have a little understanding of your system, especially when we reach the level of demigods, saints, and even gods. Our clan has collected a lot of them. Information, done a lot of research.”

"Unfortunately, I am still in my youth and am not qualified to read information in this field, so I cannot give you an accurate answer. But from the sporadic information and some teachings my elders have told me, I think you Feynman If the world's intelligent species wants to break through to demigod level, it actually has a lot to do with divine power and divinity."

"Your current situation is that you do not understand the characteristics of higher-level energy such as divinity and divine power. Perhaps when you come into contact with and recognize these energies, it will give you a clear direction. Then it will be better than what you are now. It would be much more effective to act recklessly without any goal!!"

No intelligent creature is stupid. The legendary dragon is lewd, cruel, and unpredictable. In fact, according to Allen's contact and observation these days, although the dragon appears to be consistent with many of the characters in the legend, But in fact, Figueras, the giant dragon, always behaves in moderation, and rarely violates the rules of the Green Field tribe.

The calmness and shrewdness shown by Figueras at this time are actually too far away from the legend of the dragon. There is no such wild and uninhibited attitude.

Listening to Figueras's well-founded words and feeling the rare sincerity shown by the other party, Allen has actually been convinced, but at the moment he has more important things and cannot agree to the other party immediately.

"I need some time to think about it, but I'm afraid the result will disappoint you. With the current situation of our tribe, I may not be able to spare the time to explore the ruins of Crescent Lake with you."

Allen felt somewhat regretful in his heart. What a great opportunity this was to allow him to clear away the fog in front of him and find a way to continue to improve his strength. However, compared to the interests and prospects of the tribe, Allen still wants to give up this opportunity. Anyway, he still has hundreds of years to go, and he may not be able to find a way forward again.

"I know what you are worried about. In fact, I am not asking you to explore the ruins with me now. I am telling you this just to give you enough time to think about it. I have been in your city for almost ten years, am I still afraid? Do you want to wait two more years?"

"I'll wait until you finish this competition between your tribes before telling me your decision!"

When Figueras said these words, Allen's eyes suddenly lit up, but they were extinguished by him in an instant, and he said slowly: "Well, okay, I will seriously consider it!!"

The two reached an agreement, and then chatted for a while, discussing when to go west to Green Lake Town together to watch the new competition of the Green Field Tribe.

When the sky dimmed, Figueras had a big meal in Allen's castle again, then patted his bulging belly and left swaggeringly.

The servants in the castle were cleaning up the mess left by Allen and Figueras after their meal, and Allen gradually fell into deep thought.

Figueras's purpose of staying in the castle was almost exposed when he issued an invitation to Allen. However, Allen still couldn't confirm whether there were other designs behind the other party's seemingly sincere face.

The aftermath of being plotted makes Allen always appear hesitant when faced with sudden choices.

However, Allen felt that he had benefited a lot from the information obtained from communicating with the other party.

For example, Allen previously knew that deep in the Tagan Desert adjacent to the back of the Green Field Plain, there is a Quicksand River, which adventurers call one of the five dangers. But until now, Allen did not actually know where this so-called Quicksand River lies. Where, let alone explore this so-called dangerous place.

Now after talking to Figueras, Allen suddenly realized that he had been so close to a huge treasure in these years. If there is a chance to find a way to enter the ruins in the Liusha River in the future, whether it is for the experience of the tribe, or for the tribe It is extremely convenient to have access to the deepest inside stories of the world.

Looking at what a traveling young dragon knows, and looking at himself as a powerful tribal leader, the gap between the two sides in some aspects is so huge.

The hesitation in his heart did not actually affect Allen's decision. When Figueras made it clear that he was willing to wait until he was busy with the tribal competition before telling him the answer, Allen had already made his decision.

In the past ten years, apart from occasionally checking on the development of the tribe, Allen continued to train himself hard, using pain to hone his iron will expertise like self-inflicted wounds. At the same time, he continued to condense the huge anger in his body, using failure after failure. to verify his various conjectures.

The improvement of legendary expertise has various methods, methods and goals given in the inheritance crystal. Although the speed of control is slow and the pain is considerable, Allen can personally feel his progress and his mental power is becoming stronger. tough. However, in the past ten years of continuous exploration in condensing and compressing anger, Allen has failed countless times. Until now, there has not been much progress, which has greatly affected Allen's self-confidence.

There were too many failures and the despair of not being able to see the way forward even made Allen gradually have the idea of ​​giving up. In the past two years, Allen has been slacking off in training, although he comforted himself that he was doing it for the tribal competition. Prepare, but in fact the real reason is not the frustration and resistance in Allen's heart caused by repeated failures.

Now that he finally has a chance to clear away the fog in front of his eyes and see the direction of the road ahead, how could Allen give up!

After walking out of Allen Castle, Figueras, whose figure was hidden in the dark night, slowly turned back and stared at the huge and quiet castle behind, his eyes showing an aura of playfulness and confidence. In order to find a suitable partner, a trustworthy ally, Figueras stayed at Fortress Namur for nearly ten years. When he really decided to reveal various secrets to Allen, he must have been very confident in his heart. of.

Having secretly observed Allen for many years, Figueras dared not say that he could see clearly the character and pursuit of Allen, the bugbear, but at least he was convinced that the other person's desire for power was definitely not as strong as he showed. Indifferent.

Once again, there were bursts of itching on his back, which made Figueras couldn't help but frown slightly. A sudden snap of his fingers sounded softly on his hand. Under the guidance of his strong mental power, the mage's hand slowly penetrated deep into the back of his clothes. Next, slowly start tickling.

Occasionally, the movement was too big, and Figueras's thin gauze was lifted, revealing the green skin underneath. Densely dense scales suddenly appeared on his back. Between the scales, there were clusters of translucent skin debris visible to the naked eye as the mage's hands moved. Twitching, it fell to the ground.
