Above The Sky

The time is approaching June, and the temperature is rising day by day.

Even if Mt. Indigo is close to the sea, the heat can't exceed 40 degrees, but the excessive direct sunlight still causes a large area of ​​evaporative water mist to rise up in the forest.

The mist from the decaying and fermented leaves of the past mixed with the heat from the sky, making the temperature in the forest no less than that of a sunny place, even more like a sauna.

For the Afud tribe living on the Nanling Mountains, they have their own set of ways to avoid the heat. The various caves and chambers in the mountains all over the mountain are the main body of the mountain tribe, and they are also the residences of the summer in the hot summer, and the many buildings outside are just refits of fortresses originally built to resist the impact of monsters.

Compared with hundreds of years ago, the life of mountain people has changed greatly. More and more people, cultivated fields around the foot of the mountain, dense orchards, and the gradual development of animal husbandry are all proclaiming the ancient culture. It is gradually complying with the changes of the times.

But these are just a few tribes - the vast majority of mountain people still follow a life that relies on hunting and fishing as their main source of food.

A mountain hunter only returned home yesterday, and now he is leaning against the wall of his house smoking clouds with a pipe. He is quite leisurely and can blow smoke rings into circles and squares, and even stripes like waves, which is also his rare pleasure.

But suddenly, a gust of wind blew up from the middle of the mountain, blowing all the smoke rings away, and even the birds that perched in the distant woods took off in panic because of the wind, screaming and fleeing into the distance.

The hunter shivered, put away his pipe, and hid back home.

Then, with curiosity, he looked at the elder's residence halfway up the mountain.

"Elder, calm down."

In Minister Afud's old residence, Ian smoothed his wrinkled alchemist's robe, and said helplessly: "The sacrificial book of the Dragon God? No problem, I was going to the imperial capital. If I can, I will definitely try it. Help me find it."

"Sorry, I was a little excited just now."

And Elder Manya sat back on his seat and sighed heavily.

The old man from the mountain, when he was talking about the sacrificial book of the Dragon God just now, was too emotional, causing the source quality to fluctuate and a strong wind... This proves that the real strength of the elder Manya should be the second energy level high-level , is about the true shape of the blood of the wind genus.

Although Ian's goblin bloodline is also the second energy level, but in the three stages of the second energy level, he has also reached the second stage, which is the 'source essence soulization'. To put it simply, it is the middle-level second energy level, striding towards the high-level "body and soul unity".

As for Elder Manya, there is a high probability that he has completed the 'unity of body and soul' and is ready to move towards the third energy level 'heart light'.

Only sublimators of this level can induce changes in the surrounding natural phenomena because of their own emotional fluctuations.

"That sacrificial book, called the 'Book of Yin Yao', was once a sacred relic enshrined by the Afud tribe. It recorded many secrets about the Dragon God... Two hundred years ago, I and the mountain people negotiated peace with the empire, In fact, it is tantamount to defeat, we can keep the existing territories as autonomous regions, but in return, many treasures are taken by the Empire."

Elder Manya raised his head and stared at the dim yellow lights in the hall, his tone was a little desolate: "That was the mistake of my ancestors - after losing the Book of Yin Yao, there has never been a third person among the mountain people. The ascendant of the energy level, all kinds of powerful rituals are even more lost."

"Of course, two hundred years later, I will also give up resistance completely. There is no need to resist, and being a part of the empire is not bad for us now... It's just strength, we still need strength to maintain dignity and go further. ."

Ian nodded slightly, he could fully understand Elder Manya's excitement.

The mountain people's status in Nanling is quite high, mainly because they really defeated the legions of the empire several times back then, but after the peace talks, they have never seen a strong person who can resist the ascendants of the imperial legion.

This is a kind of restriction and taboo, just like the first thing that Viscount Grant did after defeating the Sequoia natives was to destroy the opponent's swamp crocodile dragon-related inheritance.

This is not a question of not wasting waste. If we do not completely cut off this powerhouse, the resources wasted in the future, the death and destruction that may be caused, are far greater than the 'kill the chicken and get the egg' at the moment.

Only in this way can the mountain people be completely integrated into the empire. As it is now, they have basically become part of the Nanling Mountains. There are also many mountain people in high positions in Nauman City.

Elder Manya is now at the stage of advancing from the second energy level to the third energy level. If he succeeds, he will be the well-deserved supreme leader of the mountain people.

The reason why he joined the Dragon Worship Cult is probably to find a way to advance, and now seeing Ian, a young and promising imperial knight, he naturally feels that he has seen another kind of hope.

"But is there any more detailed information?"

Ian calmly motioned the old man to say more: "For example, where is it stored? What does it look like? What do I probably need to do to find it?"

"Um."

Elder Manya stroked his beard. After he calmed down, he told Ian in detail: "I have obtained a lot of information over the years."

"It is rumored that the Book of Silver Glory is located in the 'precious orphan collection room' of the Imperial Royal Library, or the private library of the Earl of Phoenix. Of course, it may also be the loot collection room of General Andis back then, and there is a high probability that these three ."

"Whether it is the library or the earl's private library, the guards are not strict, and General Andis is an ancient person two hundred years ago, and his personal belongings are now in a certain museum, so the guard is like that. "

"But whether it's the library or Earl Phoenix's collection room, you need at least the authority of a royal professor to enter, or to be invited... The cultural level of our mountain people... eh..."

Elder Manya paused for a moment, and Ian took it with high emotional intelligence: "No problem, I know an alchemist master, if it's just to confirm where it is, it's not a big deal."

"That's probably the case." The old man touched the bone staff, and he continued: "My people have always been in the imperial capital, and I want to replace the real one with a fake... But so far, I have even determined where the Book of Yin Yao is located. not."

"I think that you are an alchemist, and you can still be favored by Master Gosser. Maybe there is a way in this regard, so I can only ask you."

At this point, the old man nodded solemnly to Ian: "For the magical beast material you want, you can use it as a deposit first. If it is successful, I will spare no expense, and I will give you a generous gift."

"no problem."

Ian nodded clearly, this matter is not a big deal to him, anyway, he agreed first, and what to do is not in a hurry.

In short, let’s go to the imperial capital first. This is the destination of his trip. If nothing else, the rendezvous with Isengard must be in the imperial capital.

It's really not possible, copy the Book of Yin Yao with the silver chip, and then give the rubbing to the elder. Anyway, with the ability of the silver chip, it is not difficult to scan a book in an instant.

Elder Manya obviously didn't intend to finish his work in one battle. He just asked Ian to go to the imperial capital to find out where the book was, not to ask Ian to steal it - it's really such a task, and the deposit is at least the second level. Warcraft materials must be plural.

After all, with the relationship between Ian and the Ellen family, as well as the optimism of Master Gosse, there is at least a chance to get in touch with the Book of Silver Light.

As Ian said, a talented alchemist who is curious to learn and has a royal master alchemist behind it, it is not difficult to do this.

"Don't be reckless."

He even reminded Ian: "You are more important than the Book of Silver Light, after all, there is no Book of Silver Light, and I have other plans..."

"But don't be suspicious of yourself for this trivial matter. My entrustment is only to ask you to help 'see' if the Book of Yin Yao is still there."

"If it is, you will inform my helpers in the imperial capital, and they will find a way by themselves."

"As for now..."

The old man got up slowly, and he motioned Ian to follow: "I'll take you to see the monster materials you need."
