Early the next morning, after a little preparation, the group set off again.
"But having said that, I didn't expect you to be proficient in tracking..."
Lauren Cloutien followed behind the team, seeing that Xu Shenxing and the others chose a direction and moved forward without any hesitation, she couldn't help feeling: "As far as I know, only some mercenaries from Orion You are good at this. Looking at your skills before, I thought you were from a relatively elite army such as the Royal Guard."
"Ah, um." Xu Shenxing was stunned for a moment, but soon made a reasonable expression: "For us, this is the basic skill."
To be honest, Xu Shenxing did learn tracking skills with his former mercenary comrades a few years ago when he traveled to Olavia. I never did tracking or anything like that.
It's the same now, but it's just following Charlotte. Anyway, with her perception at the bottom, don't worry about not being able to find the target.
In fact, if Charlotte hadn't been determined to play some role-playing game, it would only take a moment to find those thieves who stole the golden apple. Escaping thousands of miles away is no different from playing Guoben in front of them...
"Is that so? But judging from my contact and experience with the nobles, even the few great knights in the royal capital can't reach your level."
Lauren Cloutien muttered with some doubts.
It has to be said that the timid...or cautious people are often the most sensitive and the first to detect irrationality.
If this is the set of a horror movie or a mystery drama, then I'm afraid this guy is the first victim.
Fortunately, although Xu Shenxing and the others had a headache for this guy's sensitivity, they didn't really intend to kill him.
"Compared to this," Charlotte seemed to have the same thought, so while leading the way, she simply changed the topic: "I want to know what happened to your golden apple."
Hearing her mention this, even Weller, who was still a little absent-minded, pricked up his ears.
And Jasmine sucked her saliva subconsciously.
"The golden apple was actually given to me by Ms. Strelitzia, and asked me to take it to the top of Mount Elmos."
Lauren Cloutien seemed a little hesitant to tell the truth, but in the end Xu Shenxing's force value shown yesterday, as well as his current situation, still made the smart knight choose to tell the whole story.
"But didn't you say that there is nothing on the top of the mountain, only a piece of white snow?"
Weller couldn't help asking.
After the conversation last night, he had already believed in Lauren's past experience.
So somewhere in the boy's heart, he was probably expecting Lauren to tell him that the idea that there was nothing on Mount Elmos was just a hoax, that he had made it up to deceive people.
"That's right, it's indeed a vast expanse of whiteness." But Lauren ruthlessly shattered the boy's fantasy: "That's why when Ms. Strelitzia gave me the golden apple, she asked me to climb to the top of love again." When I was at Moss Mountain, I was also very puzzled."
"From what you said, that lady named Strelitzia seems to have answered your doubts?"
Seeing that Lauren seemed to want to confuse the topic, Xu Shenxing spoke appropriately.
"... That's right."
This time Lauren was silent for a longer time, but in the end he sighed and said as if admitting defeat: "The whole story begins more than two hundred years ago."
Hearing this timing, Wheeler subconsciously clenched the straps he was wrapping.
In the wooden box in the package, there is also a letter that has been preserved for more than two hundred years.
"I believe you are also clear, that was the era when Supreme King Alan Bielboom unified the entire world and created the first and only unified dynasty in history."
Lauren Claudine took a deep breath, and then began to tell: "The monarch who only exists in mythology now, is said to have met a real god. Under extremely unfavorable circumstances, it only took a few short years to turn the tables, defeat all other warlords, and become the king of the world."
His storytelling was excellent, and the sense of rhythm and cadence gave Xu Shenxing the illusion that he was listening to a storytelling.
If it is an ordinary person, it will probably only be regarded as a myth. But when he heard the word god, Xu Shenxing couldn't help but look at Charlotte.
"However, after the fall of Supreme King Allen, the Bierboom Dynasty declined rapidly, and the reason was that the god who guarded them left." Lauren didn't notice Xu Shenxing's strange situation, but continued: "Also It is for this reason that the Bilbom dynasty was finally destroyed by the iron heel of the barbarians."
"But what does that have to do with golden apples?"
Xu Shenxing asked.
"That's related to a secret that has not been circulated among the people."
Lord Knight replied calmly: "It is said that the gods live on the top of Mount Amos, and the 'golden fruit forest' should be a misrepresentation of this secret... Well, it is not a misrepresentation. .”
"Does the golden fruit forest really exist?"
Willer asked hastily.
"Are golden apples delicious?"
Jasmine asked.
Lauren Cloutien was asked by Jasmine, and she was speechless for a while before deciding to ignore this loli: "Although I didn't see it on the top of Mount Amos last time, it should exist somewhere on the mountain. fruit trees like that. That golden apple is the best proof."
He paused, and then continued: "According to what Ms. Strelitzia said, I am afraid that only those who hold the token of Supreme King Alan Bielboom can enter the golden fruit forest and pay respects to that god. And the token , it is the golden apple that has been passed down from generation to generation in the family of Lady Strelitzia—that lady is the only descendant of High King Alan Bielboom who survived from that era incognito.”
"So that's how it is... so that's why those guys came to grab the golden apples."
Weller showed a look of sudden realization.
"Although it's a bit of a disappointment, I'm afraid you were deceived by that lady named Strelitzia."
Suddenly, Charlotte said coldly.
"what?"
Lauren Cloutien couldn't react for a while.
"Actually, I've heard of the anecdote you mentioned... Don't rush to refute it. If it is really an untold anecdote, the other party will not tell you so easily to such a person who is not very familiar, right?"
"This… "
"The anecdote I heard is a little more complicated. Golden apples are indeed important, but they are not the key to opening the golden orchard. The key to opening the gate of the orchard..."
Charlotte looked at Weller, who was still in a daze: "It's the 'real', the blood of the descendant of the Supreme King Alan Bielboom."
