Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

With a whoosh, Brook and Bayin appeared in the Demon Sealing Square.

The setting sun is still there, and the sunset glows red like fire.

The two of them slowly walked up the steps and pushed open the palace gate. Brooke gently placed the fangs of the Rainbow Demon Pig Guard and the tail scales of the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard in the center of the palace, in front of the Womar Cult leader.

Cult leader Wo Ma stared in astonishment at the quest item on the ground, then at the two monks standing tall and young before him. The setting sun shone through the gate onto the two men, a beam of light piercing through the middle, causing him to squint.

"Respected City Lord, we have fulfilled our mission. We have killed the Rainbow Demon Pig Guards and the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guards and obtained their fangs and tail scales." Brook said respectfully.

The Woma Cult Leader stared at the two of them blankly for a while, then burst into laughter and said slowly:

"I don't know what methods you used. But you did it. I admit that you are very strong! Respected Brother Mafa, you have completed the task. On behalf of the Demon Sealing City, I thank you. You will be the honored guests of my Demon Sealing City!"

Brook and Bayin looked deeply at the Woma Cult Leader. Although he was only a demon beast, he kept his promise. They clasped their fists in return.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord."

Cult Leader Wo Ma picked up the quest item from the ground and said to the two with a smile, "I will inform everyone in Demon Sealing City. If you have any instructions, Demon Sealing City will do its best to meet them. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to come to me. Although you are only level 31, you have accomplished something that even I cannot do. It's amazing."

"Now that the materials for the formation are ready, I will go to the Temple of Death to preside over the sealing of the Kuilong formation. You two can do whatever you want." After saying this, the Woma leader walked out of the palace and quickly headed towards the ancient well.

Bayin and Brook also walked out of the palace. Neither of them spoke, but smiled as they quietly watched the sunset.

They won.

Suddenly, the two felt a slight vibration beneath their feet. A surge of magical energy shot through the ancient well, reaching the sky. With a resounding roar, wind and clouds surged, and a vast white five-star array appeared in the sky, shimmering, growing brighter and denser. With another rumble, the five-star array emitted a powerful burst of light, shooting rapidly toward the red star in the north. The clouds in its path were pierced, revealing the shape of a five-star. This lasted for over a minute, then dissipated, and the five-star array in the sky dissolved into tiny specks of starlight, slowly fading away.

A moment later, the WoMa Cult Leader and the Demon Veteran appeared in the Demon Sealing Square. The WoMa Cult Leader spoke, and the Demon Veteran nodded repeatedly. Soon, the two concluded their conversation.

The WoMa Cult Leader and the Demon Veteran came over.

"The formation has been reinforced. In more than 90 days, the Kuilong seal will be completely stable. Thank you both." Leader Woma said politely to Brook and the others.

More than 90 days in the Marfa continent is equivalent to half a month in the time of warriors from other worlds.

"Lord City Lord, please go and have a rest. I will take care of the two distinguished guests." The demon veteran urged.

Leader Woma nodded and entered the palace.

"The Lord City Lord has expended a great deal of energy overseeing the formation," the demon veteran explained to Brook and the others. "While the formation's energy leakage hasn't been completely repaired, it's largely resolved. In another 90 days, my old friends will be able to return to their respective main cities."

"That's good. We must also return to Bichi City to report as soon as possible. Senior, may I ask if the passages to the Demon Sealing Valley and the Woma Forest will continue to be closed?" Brook said.

"Yes. It will not be open until the Kuilong Sealing Formation is completely repaired. But you two are VIPs of my Demon Sealing City and you can come in at any time." The demon veteran said with a smile.

"Okay. Let's go back to Biqi now. Goodbye, senior." Brook said, and prepared to teleport.

"Wait a minute. If you want to go back to Bichi, you don't have to run around. Just find me, it's free." The devil veteran said with a smile.

The two then remembered that veterans could teleport to the main city. So with the help of the demon veteran, they returned to Biqi City in an instant.

Brook and Bayin came to the Biqi Palace and found the Biqi official to hand in the task:

"Sir, we have returned from the Demon Sealing Valley. The Kuilong seal has been reinforced, and veteran Bi Qi will not be back for another 90 days."

"I have received news from the Demon Sealing Valley. The Lord of the Demon Sealing City has high praise for you. Brook, Bayin, you have completed the task excellently. I will give you generous reputation rewards." Officer Bicchi was very happy.

"Thank you, sir. We would like to claim the reputation now." Brook said.

"Yes. Let me check: Complete Miss Lin's Mysterious Shop quest for 50 points; complete the Horn Fly quest in Biqi City's Grocery Store for 30 points; complete the Kuilong Sealing quest in Fengmo City for 80 points. That's a total of 160 reputation points. Please keep them."

"Thank you, sir." The two said goodbye to the Biqi official and left the palace.

Previously, the two of them had 30 points of reputation left, but now they have 160 points, and their reputation has reached 190 points.

"Shall we go back to Tucheng to exchange for the fourth-level medal?" Bayin suggested.

"I have to collect some maggot eggs and scorpion tails first. It's in the orc tomb, and it will probably take more than half an hour." Brook said.

Bayin thought for a moment and said, "I'll help you. Let's go together."

Together they went to the Orc Tomb to look for cave maggots and scorpions. After half an hour, they had collected more than 50 each, and their backpacks were almost full.

"There are more than 100 of them in total, and my backpack can't fit them all. Can you please do me another favor and deliver the materials to Ginkgo Village?" Brooke said.

"Okay." Bayin nodded.

So Brook teleported to Ginkgo Village and pulled Bayin over.

The two walked into Ginkgo Village. Brooke waved to the village chief in the square, greeted the passing cloth shop owner, and cupped his fists to the grocery store owner. They all looked curiously at Bayin who was following Brooke.

It was Bayin's first time to visit Ginkgo Village and he looked around curiously.

"It's really lively here. It's bigger than Shandi Village," said Bayin.

"Haha, it's not bad. There weren't many people here before, and it just so happened that warriors from another world landed here." Brook explained as he walked into Xu's Pharmacy.

"But I didn't see the ginkgo tree. Where is it?" Bayin asked.

"Hmm? Ginkgo tree? No, I haven't seen one."

"No? Then why is it called Ginkgo Village?"

"..." Brook was stunned by Bayin's question. Yes, why is it called Ginkgo Village? He had never thought about this question before.

At this time, the two came to the back room of the pharmacy where Uncle Fu was.

There were three otherworldly warriors here too. They were all Taoists, holding demon-slaying weapons. They weren't buying anything, just waiting.

When the three men saw Brook and the other man come in, their eyes were full of vigilance.

"Boss, you have such good equipment, but you still want to snatch medicine from us?" One of them couldn't help but speak up.

"Please pay attention to your manners. First come, first served. Line up." said another person.

"Hmph, whoever grabs it first gets it. Let's see how fast your hands are." The third person also spoke.

What was going on? Brooke and Bayin didn't understand.

Uncle Fu was concentrating on making a potion with his back to the others. After a while, he finished and turned around.

The three of them immediately rushed forward.

"Haha, Green Poison is mine!"

"Hehe, Red Poison is not bad either."

"Damn!" The last person grabbed everything and turned away angrily.

It turns out that these three people were trying to steal the poison made by Uncle Fu.

The two people who grabbed the potion walked out satisfied.

"Uncle Fu..." Brooke smiled and walked towards Uncle Fu.

"Who is this girl?" Uncle Fu pushed Brook away and asked Bayin while staring at him.

"Hello, Uncle Fu. My name is Bayin, Brooke's friend." Bayin replied.

"Bayin, what a nice name, haha... he looks so handsome..." Uncle Fu smiled happily.

"Ahem, Uncle Fu. Bayin brought you some materials. We collected more than 100 maggot eggs and scorpion tails in total." Baruch took out the materials and handed them to Uncle Fu.

"No hurry, no hurry~ Bayin, sit down, let's chat for a while. Where are you from?" Uncle Fu said, and then urged Brooke. "Hurry up and make tea for the guests, what are you standing there for?"

"Oh. Bayin, please sit for a while." Brooke had no choice but to go to the front yard to make tea.

When Brooke returned to the inner room with the brewed teapot, he heard Uncle Fu say:

"When we arrived at Ginkgo Village, the ginkgo tree was gone. The village elders said it used to be there, just west of the square, and it was thriving. In spring, the whole village could smell the faint fragrance of flowers; in autumn, it shone brightly, with leaves fluttering in the wind, covering the ground in golden light. However, many years ago, a demon beast descended upon the village. At that time, there were strong winds, lightning and thunder, and a bolt of lightning happened to strike the ginkgo tree, causing it to catch fire. The wind was so strong that it burned for three days and three nights. Many demon beasts entered the village, and the villagers didn't dare go out to put out the fire. Alas, it burned down."

"Oh~ then why not plant another one?" Bayin asked.

"It's not that I haven't thought about it. First, there are no seeds. It's probably difficult to find ginkgo seeds on the Marfa continent. Second, even if there are seeds, you still need to find a special nutrient solution, preferably one that contains magical power. Ginkgo trees are a very precious species. Before they grow up, ordinary rainwater can't water them."

"Oh~ that's right."

"By the way, Bayin, how old are you? What's your zodiac sign? When and when were you born?" Uncle Fu asked.

"Ahem~ Uncle Fu, the tea is here. We have urgent matters to attend to back at Mengzhong, so let's not drink it." Brooke walked into the inner room and interrupted Uncle Fu's questioning.

"Hey. How dare you rush the guests to leave, kid? Bayin, come and have some tea."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Fu. By the way, let me give you the potion materials first. Brook and I have been digging for half an hour." Bayin took out more than 50 materials from the backpack and handed them to Uncle Fu.

"This child is really sensible. He even brought a gift for his first visit. How sweet!" Uncle Fu praised repeatedly and said to Brooke, "Xiao Bu, where's yours? Hurry and bring them over!"

"Oh~" Brooke handed over the materials in his backpack as well.

"So many~ Then I can make a few more packs every day. It will save those alien warriors from fighting over them. Those kids are really pitiful." Uncle Fu said to himself while sorting the materials.

Under Brooke's constant urging, Bayin finally finished his tea. He stood up and said to Uncle Fu:

"Uncle Fu, we still have to go to Mengzhong to do some things. I'll come see you next time."

Uncle Fu took out more than 30 bundles of high-level magic potions and stuffed them into Bayin's pockets, saying, "Take these potions. If you don't have enough in the future, come to me directly. Uncle Fu doesn't have anything else, but he has plenty of potions. Okay, I'll definitely come back next time."

"Thank you, Uncle Fu. I promised myself that I would come again." Bayin accepted the magic potion.

The two of them left the pharmacy, slowly walked to the square, and then to the lawn to the west.

"The ginkgo tree that Uncle Fu mentioned should have been here back then." Bayin said, pointing to the ground in the square.

It is very open here, the ground is covered with green grass and is very flat.

"Ginkgo Village is very beautiful. It's a pity that there's no ginkgo tree. Brooke, you've helped me a lot; I want to help you, too, and plant a ginkgo tree."
