Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Brook searched along the edge of the continent and soon saw a figure.

This person was wearing a noble robe, holding a scepter, and quietly looking at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

At first glance, I thought it was a cultivator, but when I looked closely, it turned out to be a monster.

Ancient Emperor, HP 290 million. Its original form is the 5th rank Ice City Emperor, with double the HP.

Another tough guy. He was holding a scepter in his hand. Could it be a ranged attack? Mu Yue hadn't mentioned it had a ranged attack capability.

I'll have to confirm it again later.

The terrain here is flat, with only a few palm trees growing sparsely, and there is no good place to take a seat. But since I have finally come across it, I can't just give up like this.

Brook thought and thought, and finally thought of the pier. The edge of the barrier that sealed the ancient emperor was connected to the pier, and the pier's plank road was relatively narrow, so perhaps it could be used.

But it's quite difficult to drive the ancient emperor into the dock plank road. Let's give it a try.

Holy beast baby comes up!

The Ancient Emperor noticed immediately, turned around, and rushed towards the sacred beast at a very fast speed. Fortunately, the scepter was not used for magic attacks, but for walking. It seems that this Ancient Emperor is quite old, but he can still run so fast with a cane. He is really strong and powerful. Amazing!

Brooke turned and ran, ordering the baby to follow, and rushed towards the dock with the emperor.

Trapped in a spell, the power of the artifact surges in, sealing the barrier, open!

The ancient emperor ran out of the opened cave, immediately turned and walked onto the plank road, running towards the pier in the north.

With a whoosh, Brook immediately teleported behind the emperor and summoned the divine beast to his side. They stood together at the corner of the pier plank road to block the ancient emperor from running back.

Unexpectedly, the ancient emperor did not retreat at all, but continued to move forward and ran towards the depths of the dock.

Brook was stunned. He didn't even need to shoo it away; it just ran over on its own? Were the ancient emperors so obedient?

The Ancient Emperor walked deeper and deeper, and soon entered the dock where the dock extended into the sea. Of course, there was no sea water below, only a sea of ​​clouds.

The ancient emperor was seen pacing back and forth while gazing at the depths of the sea of ​​clouds. It seemed as if he wanted to go forward, but with his limited intelligence, he didn't realize that there was no way forward.

Brook followed it, looking ahead curiously. Above the sea of ​​clouds to the north, there was a faint floating continent, seemingly covered with a layer of frost. It was unclear which companion continent it was.

Could that be the real home of the ancient emperor?

Brook guessed that this was because the ancient emperor was imprisoned in the north of the Dragon Empire and could see the companion continent deep in the sea of ​​clouds every day, and his real home.

What a poor child, he has a home but cannot return. Pity him, but he must be killed.

Poor kid, I hit you, you can't fight back. I'm doing this for your own good, to send you back home as soon as possible.

Brook commanded the sacred beast to attack, but the ancient emperor just kept wandering around the edge of the plank road and did not fight back. Brook felt relieved and called Wenren Muyue to help.

This time, Brook made it clear that it was in the north of the pier, and the coordinates were easier to find. In less than 3 minutes, Wenren Muyue arrived.

"Ancient Emperor! Another rank 5 leader! You led him to such a remote corner again! How on earth did you do it?" Wenren Muyue was extremely surprised.

The Ancient Ice Maiden's behavior just now might have been a coincidence, but now the Ancient Emperor is doing the same thing again. This shows it's not a coincidence, but strength!

"Hehe, this is a solution I came up with after a lot of effort. Of course I can tell you, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone else." Brook said.

"My sister can't do it?"

"Not yet. In the future, a long time from now, when I leave the Dragon Empire, you can tell me."

"...If my sister asks, I will definitely tell her. I never hide anything from her." Wenren Muyue hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Forget it, I won't ask anymore. Please don't tell me! I'll just think of this as your unique ability."

"Haha~ It's okay if you think so." Brook laughed. Wenren Muyue is such a down-to-earth person.

"My sister just asked me to go to the Fire Dragon Temple, but I turned her down. I told her I was fighting a 5th-level boss, but she didn't believe me." Wenren Muyue said.

"Oh. Is it okay that you're not going to the Fire Dragon Temple?"

"It's okay. Actually, I don't need to help at all. My sister just asked me to go along to broaden my horizons. I've already been there twice, so it doesn't matter if I don't go this time."

"Okay. Then we should hurry up. This ancient emperor is walking back and forth there all the time. It will be faster if you put up a wall of fire." Brook said again.

"Yeah! Why did you completely block the Ice Girl when you were fighting her just now?"

"I was so excited that I forgot. Next time I'll control my position and leave room for the Ice Girl so you can place the Fire Wall."

The two of them fought as they talked. With the added damage from the fire wall, their speed increased significantly.

※※※※※※※

At this moment, several monks arrived where the Ancient Emperor had stood. Two of them wore silver-white robes of the fourth level, while the leader was even more powerful. He wore a faintly luminous golden armor, a red cape draped over his shoulders, and held a golden greatsword that also shone.

"We've searched everywhere within the barrier, but there's really no one there. Maybe, just like the Ice Girl, she's been defeated by someone." said the Taoist priest in white robes.

"There's no other way. The patriarch specifically asked us to take Li'er to familiarize himself with the environment. This also shows his trust in us. Tomorrow's underground palace trial is very important." Another white-robed wizard also said.

The leading warrior remained silent, seemingly lost in thought. The white-robed Taoist priest and the mage stopped talking, quietly waiting to the side, awaiting orders.

"What do you think, is the information provided by the clan leader accurate? Is it possible that this is a smokescreen deliberately released by the Xuanyuan family, and the real map is something else?" the leading soldier spoke.

"This... shouldn't be possible. Would the dignified Xuanyuan family be so despicable?"

"That's hard to say. After all, the reward this time is a divine artifact. The Empire hasn't obtained a divine artifact in many years. And it just so happened that the three of us teamed up to obtain it."

"It happened to be the Xuanyuan family's turn to choose the map for this year's underground palace trial, and their family got a huge advantage. But they also said that they told us the map in advance for the sake of fairness. But I always feel that the old guy Xuanyuan Dasheng is not so kind. Haven't we suffered enough losses at his hands over the years?" The soldier said again.

"What should we do? Should we talk to the clan leader about this?" asked the Taoist priest.

"How could the clan leader not have thought of such a thing? Could there be any other deeper meaning behind the clan leader handing Li'er over to us?" said the mage.

The warrior nodded slightly and said, "That's right. The tribe leader asked us to familiarize Li'er with the map, but he didn't say just one map. Perhaps we should let Li'er familiarize himself with other possible maps."

"Yes, this way we can be absolutely safe!" the wizard agreed.

"What about the Ice Girl and the Emperor? Do we still need to come and guard them later?" asked the Taoist priest.

"The Ice Queen doesn't matter, the trial in the underground palace is more important. Let's go back!" the warrior ordered.

The three of them came quickly and left quickly, disappearing in an instant.
