I kissed the statue at the beginning and I vomited all over the floor

Alvin has walked the road west of the Haze Forest several times.

He was thrown in from that direction.

This is the first time I’m heading east.

Filled with the smell of compost that makes your nose feel like it's fermenting, huge oak trees that block out the sun, and eerily quiet darkness, the gray haze forest on the east side is almost the same as the west side.

Except for some man-made objects that occasionally appear on the roadside.

For example, now, Alvin was leaning against a broken column of unknown age, rubbing his ankle with a painful look on his face.

"Miss Xiling, even though we are in a hurry, we don't have to keep going until night before stopping to rest..."

"Ha ha ha ha!

That's because you, a human, are too weak. The half-elf girl's equipment is much heavier than yours, and she didn't scream like you."

Broken Tooth Wasteland sat on a fallen stone pillar, resting his elbows on his knees, chewing some jerky.

"This is not what I thought... I thought camping in the wild would involve having tents and a campfire, with everyone sitting together barbecuing and drinking..."

"If you want to attract some night predators, you can try this."

Xiling, who had regained her ruthlessness, directly shattered Ivan's beautiful fantasy.

"I even asked Senna for some barbecue seasoning..."

"What a pampered human pervert!"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak (that's it)!"

"Bella, don't pretend you don't know the common language, and I can understand your rat language!"

"You two should save your energy. We are still two days away from the Elven Courtyard."

……

Let us ignore the complaints of the Blue Star youth and the complaints of the little half-elves for now.

It is indeed very unwise to light a fire at night in wild forest areas or some dangerous areas.

In addition to attracting carnivores, it may also awaken some ancient creatures that have been sleeping here.

Undead skeletons, ghosts, and even a giant dragon sleeping in an unknown cave, all of these are huge troubles that are difficult to deal with.

In the Middle Ages, the Gray Haze Forest was once a battlefield between two huge empires.

At that time, the people living in the northwest wilderness and the southern city of Radiant were not the orcs and humans of today, but a magic kingdom called Istar. All the executives were full-level wizards, and the people were basically arcane spellcasters.

It is said that at that time on the streets of the Kingdom of Istar, two gangsters were fighting each other and throwing magic missiles at each other.

The people of the whole country are all wizards at the top of the contempt chain, and they have a natural prejudice against their Muggle neighbors.

The elves in the east are not the current regime with the "Elven Courtyard" as their royal capital, but its predecessor, the Myth Drannor Empire, inhabited by high elves who are even more arrogant than the current elves. It was considered a leader among super-civilized countries in the Middle Ages.

With the rapid expansion of the two superpowers, the non-bordering Ishtar and Misdren finally collided.

Pride and Prejudice began to quarrel.

The initial war zone took place in the Northwest Wasteland, which is why the wasteland became desolate.

The legendary wizards on both sides were like human nuclear missile silos, bombarding the opposite side indiscriminately, causing chaos and darkness.

As the war drew to a close, the number of legendary wizards was almost depleted.

Since both sides' top combat forces have been exhausted, it is time to compete in basic combat forces.

The arrogant high elves were no match for Istar, whose entire team was made up of mages. They began to lose ground, and the battlefield gradually moved eastward to the present-day Gray Haze Forest.

Fortunately, there were few legendary wizards in the later wars, and the Haze Forest did not suffer a devastating blow like the Northwest Wasteland.

No one knows when this super war ended, and no one knows why.

The Kingdom of Ishtar just disappeared, and was broken up into small human nations;

The high elves of the Misdren Empire also began to slowly disappear, and they had to give up some territory in order to gain stability. After experiencing many changes of dynasties, it became the current Eastern Elf Kingdom.

Therefore, on the east side of the Haze Forest, you can still see the ruins of the former Misdren Empire.

Looking at the stone pillars lying on the ground covered with vines, and the elf dome wrapped in branches, Alvin couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.

No matter which world you are in, the great power of nature will slowly repair the damage it has suffered.

Not only animals and plants, but also mountains, rivers, soil and stones will find a way for their own survival.

Although he believed that the druid teachings were not materialistic at all, Ivan, who was in a different world, experienced for the first time what the druids said about the animism of all things.

……

Just as Alvin fell into a deep sleep, a conversation took place somewhere deep in the dark underground.

"You couldn't hold on, either?"

A clear voice like that of a young girl rang out in the darkness.

"Ah, my little friend, you are here."

In the pure darkness, an old but cynical male voice responded slowly and hoarsely.

"It seems that there is a big mess in the Elf Kingdom of the Gray Haze Forest. Don't you want to go and take a look?"

"Oh? Those little guys who insisted on staying behind, they definitely didn't receive my advice to stay."

"Your prophecies are like riddles? You are still as bad-humored as ever..."

"My little friend... How long have you been like this...

Ten years? One hundred years?

I have sat in this darkness for too long...

What was the name of the person who sat here before?

Rillifane? Or Fermallo?

That guy who claims to be God.

He didn't even leave any traces of Yu Yan.

Compared to those irresponsible and treacherous people, I have done enough..."

Having said too many words at once, the old being let out a long breath, like a bellows being pulled.

The clear female voice seemed to have encountered signal interference, and the sound began to become low and intermittent:

"After all... we were... if you could... that..."

"Unlike you, little one, I have no interest in lighting the sacred fire...

I know what you're looking for here.

Go back, little one, that is not the power you can covet..."

After waiting for a long time and hearing no reply, I laughed at myself twice.

“This little guy really just goes away.

Let me see those survivors...oh?"

For a moment, ripples appeared in the dark underground.

As if being sucked away by something, the boundless darkness began to fade slowly with the ripples, revealing the original appearance of this space.

All around were smooth stone walls with nothing on them, no murals, no lamp holders, not even traces of erosion by time;

In the middle, there is an exquisitely carved stone niche, which is a bit too gorgeous compared to the plainness of the walls.

A pair of small and exquisite leather boots slowly stretched out from the wall to the ground.

Then came a pair of overly thin legs, a corset inlaid with emeralds, long, smooth gloves, and some old-fashioned aristocratic coat.

A petite figure wearing a mask "grew" completely out of the wall.

The figure walked to the side of the niche and saw that a corner of the cover above was lifted. A clear and pleasant female voice came from under the mask.

"This hypocritical old man clearly cares about them more than I do...

Damn it! He actually took away Rillifane's godhood fragment!

Stingy old man! "
