"The Brave Continent game?... Maybe I have heard of it, maybe I haven't, I haven't asked about world affairs for many years." The old monk coughed a few times, walked forward slowly, came to the middle of the room and sat down, "Now, I Just practicing Zen, sitting is also Zen, walking is also Chan, a flower is a world, a leaf is a Tathagata, spring comes and flowers turn green, autumn leaves fall, infinite Prajna is at ease, speech is silent, movement and stillness are natural. Since all donors are destined to come from thousands of miles Yes, then why not just sit down and listen to the old monk talk about Buddhism and Zen."

"Uh... But, master, I picked up a VIP card for the Brave Continent game from you yesterday, do you know why this card appeared here?..."

Qingkong continued to ask without giving up, but... During the time of this sentence, the old monk dozed off. He sat on the ground with his head tilted, and there were bursts of light snoring in his breath.

The four people immediately looked at each other face to face, a little at a loss.

"In my opinion, this old monk can't ask anything. Let's look for Zuo Ci elsewhere, shall we?" Witt lowered his voice and suggested.

"No, I just met Lincoln, and he reminded me that the answer is around here. I have to wait for the master to wake up before asking him." Qingkong showed a stubborn side at this moment. After her soft whispers ended, she sat down on a futon and waited seriously.

"Ah, if Sister Qingkong wants to wait, then I'll wait for a while too. This old man shouldn't have slept for too long, right? Hmm! He should wake up soon." Nolan asked and answered himself, sitting on the side of Qingkong. on the futon next to it.

"Shh... don't talk, wait for the old man to wake up naturally, don't disturb him." Qingkong put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture.

Seeing the situation, Xu Mo and Witt didn't say anything more, they just found a futon and sat down quietly.

In the quiet and comfortable Japanese-style Zen house, warm sandalwood is wafting from the incense burner, and the old man is snoring slightly, like an excellent hypnotic piece of music. In this situation, the four people who sat and waited fell into a drowsy state in just a few minutes.

-

In a trance, Qingkong was in the white mist where he couldn't see his fingers, and a familiar voice seemed to be calling...

"Sister Qingkong, sister Qingkong, I am here, I am here waiting for you..."

No need to distinguish, Qingkong immediately heard the call of the sister Nana she was looking for, and she immediately responded loudly——

"Nana, where are you? Just stand still, I'll come to you soon—"

"I'm here, sister, come quickly..." Nana's voice flickered, as if it was not far ahead, but also seemed to be in a strange distance.

Qing Kong became anxious and began to run fast, she ran vigorously in the direction of the sound—

The mist began to dissipate little by little, and the ground under the footsteps had a soft touch, and the air carried the unique smell of green grass and soil mixed with open grasslands, as well as fresh moisture, which was the touch after rain.

Run, keep running! Until the grassland scene that gradually appeared in front of me, a truncation suddenly appeared on the land—it was a cliff, right in front of us!

Qingkong was startled, and stopped immediately, but slipped and fell uncontrollably, her body turned half a circle and bent, her fingers clasped the ground fiercely, drawing traces until she caught a palm A large stone, half of her body hangs out of the suspension.

She used enough strength to climb back to the cliff. Looking back, she found that the high slope that she almost fell was not very steep, and there was still a large grassland, but the height was tens of meters. If she really fell If he survived by chance, he would have to break several bones.

Before he had time to congratulate himself on his quick reaction and agility, Qingkong was stunned by the distant scene——

-

At this time, the fog has completely dissipated. In the distance, in the middle of the grasslands surrounded by stretches of overlapping mountain-like grasslands, a huge and fantastic White Rock Castle is enveloped by a huge rainbow and a hemispherical light wheel. Standing in the center, from the inside to the outside, a ring of light-like apertures is emitted.

Before she had time to think about the current strange situation, Qingkong immediately returned to the state of looking for Luna. She listened carefully to the surrounding noises, except for the occasional chirping of birds in the sky, and the tiny bells that came from nowhere. There was no sound from Luna, as if, as the mist dissipated, she disappeared without a trace.

Uncontrollably, Qing Kong yelled loudly towards the empty grassland—

"Nana!!—Where are you?!—

-

In addition to the echoes echoing from this shout, the tinkling of bells not far away was getting closer and closer. Turning around, she saw a strangely dressed man sitting sideways on a pop-eyed ostrich-like creature On the body of the ostrich, he bumped forward towards himself—the sound came from two bells the size of fists tied around the neck of the ostrich.

He has silver-white hair, a short ponytail drooping behind his neck, and the collar of the blue-gray short-sleeved leather jacket is turned up, revealing a red lining connected to two red scarves falling on the back, brown Leather buckles are decorated on the arms and calves, and there is a conspicuous gold coat of arms in the middle of the belt made of silver buckles, but the most conspicuous thing is the huge half-human tall steel hammer on his back, In addition to the rows of huge steel nails and nuts on it, the four round holes on one side also exude golden energy light. This sledgehammer was fixed on the man's back with a leather ring. It looked like such a heavy object, but he and the big bird carried it with ease as if it was effortless.

Responding to Qingkong's astonished gaze, the man's golden eyes were also full of curiosity.

"What are you doing here alone? The Rainbow Valley has not been very peaceful recently. Before it gets dark, you should hurry to Rainbow Moon Castle. Go faster, and you should be there in the evening."

"Rainbow Valley? Rainbow Moon Castle?" Qingkong showed a blank expression, "Where is this place?"

"Where is this place? This is Rainbow Valley, I just told you, are you stupid?"

"No, I don't know how I came to this place at all, what is the situation..."

The man couldn't help but sighed, and drove the ostrich to Qing Kong's body, stretched out a hand to her, and said, "Come on, I'll take you all the way to a safe area, and I'll tell you where are you?" ’, judging by your out-of-state appearance, I guess you will die in this valley tomorrow.”

Although Qing Kong didn't know about Juli, he felt that he was not a bad person, so he took his hand and sat on the back of the ostrich with all his strength.

"By the way, my name is Langdon." The man shook her hand and gave her a half wink.

"My name is Qingkong." The girl smiled awkwardly.

"The towering mountains form a unique valley kingdom, which refers to the area east of the Green Dragon Mountain Range and west of the Treasure Sea Region. There are precipitous and inaccessible mountains on the north, south, and west sides, and the vast Eastern Strait to the east. , became the only access to the Valley Kingdom, but the manic storms in the East Region Strait are also famous, so few people from outside the region come to this area. Since it is not disturbed by the outside world, the Rafal family has ruled here for several years. For thousands of years, the plain at the center of the Valley Kingdom has been called the Rainbow Valley. Except for the perennial rainbow of rainbow colors that you can see in the distance above the Rainbow Moon Castle, there will be showers on the plain from time to time. It’s not uncommon for a rainbow to appear.”

"So... I am now in Rainbow Valley, and this territory belongs to the Rafal family..." Clear Sky concluded Langdon's statement with an uncertain tone.

"No, no, no, the Rafael family is just one of the ancestors, but they can't be regarded as the real rulers here. Before the ancestors came here, Rainbow Valley was dominated by giants and green dragons. The people evolved advanced navigation technology, and after a hundred years of excavation, they opened up a mountain pass in the Green Dragon Mountains, built Zhanlong City and its affiliated castle at one end of the pass, gathered troops, and planned to capture the valley. It was a battle The bloody battle took place more than 8,000 years ago. The Dolly race with the blood of the night elves landed from the Eastern Strait, and then the ancestors, mainly the Rafal family, attacked the Rainbow Valley through the mountain roads in the Green Dragon Mountains. Legend has it that "Zhan The Dragon Knight' Olaf Rafal not only killed the last green dragon, but also rode a gigantic griffin to kill the leader of the giants, Giovanni, and then transformed Giovanni's ring into a power crown, crowned as the king of the valley, and convinced the Doli people who invaded at the same time. Up to now, the blood of Olaf Rafal has been inherited for more than 8,000 years, becoming the oldest in the known world. Noble family. Two thousand years ago, Elsha, one of the seven prophets, pointed out a shortcut to the Rainbow Valley for the newly-rising family of controlling dragons—the Keen family. En captured Zhanlong City and seized the crown of power. The Rafal family, whose minds had been wiped out by the easy life, immediately surrendered to the conquerors. After hundreds of years, they built the Rainbow Moon Castle for their lord. Since then, the Rafal family has been canonized As the guardian of the Eastern Realm, he guards the safety of the Eastern Land of the Keen Dynasty, one of the three major kingdoms."

"It's so complicated... To put it simply, this is the territory of the Kingdom of Keen, which is guarded by the Rafael family, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it seems that you are not as dumb as I imagined."

After hearing this, Qingkong didn't feel happy at all. She still couldn't figure out how she came to this inexplicable and complicated world, so she sighed unconsciously.

"So, why did you appear here?" Langdon returned to the topic when the two first met, "I think you look like you are going to reveal the wanted mission of Rainbow Moon Castle?"
