The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

"You will get the answer, but to see the truth behind the fog, you must do it yourself. All I can do is give you a thread leading to the secrets of this world; whether you can grasp it is entirely up to you."

Chen Er understood the meaning behind those words.

She would tell herself some things, but not the whole truth.

Based on her tone of voice, two guesses immediately formed in Chen Er's mind.

One possibility is that she knows the truth but is unwilling to tell Chen Er directly, only giving him fragmented information. Another possibility is that she doesn't know the truth either, and can only tell Chen Er what she knows.

But which one is the real situation?

Chen Er looked at the girl in white robes; the short time had given him enough time to think.

"What exactly is the Abyss Dragon?"

He asked his first question.

“Abyss Dragon…” The white-robed girl hesitated for a rare moment when uttering this word, then shook her head.

"I'm sorry, I don't know exactly what Yuanlong is. I only know that a long time ago, Yuanlong was imprisoned at the bottom of the Warrior Tower."

"What you've said is as good as nothing. I'm not stupid; what I need is accurate and useful information." Chen Er remained calm inside, but his face betrayed some disappointment.

The girl in white remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

"It is said that Yuanlong is a man who has committed a great crime."

At this moment, Zhang Liao was sitting in the side hall, waiting for Chen Er.

A long time passed, and Zhang Liao grew a little impatient, intending to wander around.

As soon as I turned around, I heard footsteps.

He stood up and looked behind him. There he saw Lü Lingqi, dressed in plain clothes, also looking him over.

"What are you looking at, you big oaf? Don't you recognize me?" Lü Lingqi said imperiously as she looked at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao's lips twitched involuntarily. Without even glancing at Lü Lingqi, he sat down again.

If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them? That was his thought. This method might work for others, but it was definitely useless against Miss Lü.

Seeing that the "big, clumsy guy" dared to ignore her, she strode over to Zhang Liao and slammed her hand heavily on the table:

"Hey, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"

Zhang Liao's temples throbbed with veins. Although he always adhered to the principle that a great man shouldn't argue with a woman, Lü Lingqi was simply too noisy at this moment. However, remembering the life-saving grace Lü Lingqi had shown them before, Zhang Liao had to abandon the idea. He looked at Lü Lingqi helplessly:

“Miss Lü, I heard you. You can tell me what's wrong, there's no need to shout so loudly. I'm not deaf, I can hear you.”

"You could hear me, why didn't you respond!" Lü Lingqi slapped Zhang Liao on the shoulder in an annoyed tone, but her voice immediately lowered afterward:

"I heard that you two big oafs have awakened your martial arts skills?"

"You already know all this, so why are you asking?" Zhang Liao felt a headache coming on. If he had a choice, he would rather face the brutal bandits than get entangled with Lü Lingqi over this kind of thing.

"Just curious. By the way, why are you standing here alone? Where is Chen Er?" Lü Lingqi asked curiously.

“Inside the room, the Apostle said he had something to discuss with my elder brother, so I…” Zhang Liao hadn’t finished speaking when Lü Lingqi was already prepared to break down the door.

"Miss Lü, please calm down! My brother is discussing matters with the Apostle right now and it's inconvenient to disturb him!" In his anxiety, Zhang Liao grabbed Lü Lingqi's hand.

Lu Lingqi was furious and flung Zhang Liao's hand away.

"Let go of my hand! If you don't want to go in, then don't! Why are you being so fierce? Who cares about going in anyway! If I wasn't worried that you two idiots would be sold out without even realizing it, I wouldn't have bothered coming here! You're biting the hand that feeds you!"

After saying these words angrily, Lü Lingqi turned around and left, leaving Zhang Liao looking helpless.

What happened outside the room did not reach inside. At this moment, Chen Er looked at the white-robed girl in surprise after hearing her words.

"You're saying, Yuanlong, that monster was a person?"

He couldn't help but recall the red tentacles he had seen before, and he simply couldn't connect the octopus-like monster with a human.

"I don't know the specifics either. It's just a secret, and no one has verified it. If I were you, I wouldn't be so concerned about this. Who can really explain the origins of an ancient beast like the Abyss Dragon? They've existed in this world for who knows how long. Perhaps only the three elders can explain the Abyss Dragon's origins."

"The three elders?" Chen Er noticed that the white-robed girl's voice was slightly low when she mentioned the three elders.

"At the very top of every Samurai Tower, there are three elders who slumber year-round. Unless something happens that shakes the foundation of the Samurai Tower, these three elders almost never leave the top. You didn't even know that?"

The girl in white robes frowned slightly, seemingly unable to understand why Chen Er was so ignorant.

Chen Er shook his head, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, he asked:

"But you took us to the Sea of ​​Heroes before, isn't that the highest point of the Warrior Tower? But I don't think I saw anyone there."

"The three elders are not people you can meet. Only their apostles know how to find them who are slumbering in the Sea of ​​Heroes. It is almost impossible for others to meet the three elders."

"Are you their only apostle, or are there three?"

“Of course there are three. I am merely an apostle of one of the elders. Even I have never met the other two elders, let alone you. Heroic Spirit Sea…”

The girl in white robes seemed to want to say something, but in the end she only uttered one sentence:

"It's much more complicated than you think."

Chen Er knew this, and when he recalled his experiences in the Sea of ​​Heroes, he still felt like he was dreaming.

Boundless darkness, no way forward, walking solely on instinct. The lonely attic is like a drop in the ocean, floating and sinking in the dark sea.

"Then, who are the other two apostles?" Chen Er asked.

"You've already met one of them, and you haven't met the other, nor do you need to."
