Led by Reiger, the man and woman walked steadily through the wetland environnt. Under the watchful eyes of countless Moores who dared not approach, they arrived at the deepest part of this area.
Here lay a marsh.
A marsh that appeared extrely filthy, making Altoria feel sowhat eerie.
In the marsh, there was also a giant skeleton, resembling a prehistoric beast whose flesh had completely rotted away, dying a miserable death. Although it had long lost all life essence, it still exuded an inexplicable oppressive atmosphere that made one’s breath catch.
"This, this place is...?"
For so reason, Altoria instinctively refused to approach this place.
Reiger seed to sense sothing, glancing at Altoria thoughtfully while speaking calmly.
"This is the Dragon Corpse Swamp, the place where the oldest pureblood dragon, Albion, breathed its last."
Upon hearing this, Altoria disregarded her odd feelings of resistance and looked at the skeleton in the center of the swamp with surprise.
"Dragon Corpse Swamp? Albion’s last breath? Isn’t that skeleton...? "
Clearly, Altoria had already realized who owned that skeleton.
"That’s correct, it’s the remains left by Albion." Reiger confird Altoria’s conjecture and queried, "Hadn’t you co to Northern Britain before, heading to Orkney?"
Reiger assud that due to Altoria’s connection to the area, she should have passed through here on her way to Northern Britain, heading to Orkney.
But now it seed that not only had Altoria not passed through this place, she was entirely unaware of it.
"Didn’t I say? At that ti, we were being chased by Ba’s minions..."
Altoria looked aggrieved.
Due to the pursuit, although Altoria had arrived in Northern Britain, she didn’t stop on her way to Orkney, trying to shake off the pursuers behind her.
As a result, whether it was Edinburgh or the Dragon Corpse Swamp, Altoria only passed by their vicinity and never actually went in.
"I didn’t expect Albion, who transford into part of the lake district, would still have so remains here." Altoria continued to look at the dragon skeleton, then frowned, "But why does the water in this swamp give a feeling similar to Moores?"
To Altoria’s perception, the swamp where Albion’s remains lay felt like the world’s filthiest poison, filled with ominous, evil, and corrupt vibes.
That vibe indeed resembled that of Moores, a Curse.
Logically, as the oldest pureblood dragon, Albion’s resting place shouldn’t be so filthy.
Its life was even older than the gods; its mystery could rival planets. Unless it was killed by sothing like the Beast God, Cornus, filled with hatred and anger, how could its resting place be such a cursed spot?
Altoria was puzzled by this.
Seeing this, Reiger provided an explanation.
"After Albion’s corpse rotted, the parts that didn’t transform into forest or lake regions slumbered here but essentially lost power, no longer containing any ancient mystery."
"Moreover, the northern fairies who inhabited Albion’s remains were slaughtered during the Spring War. The victims’ resentnt from the northern fairies almost facing genocide lingered here, making this place the gathering spot for the dirtiest things in Britain."
"Accumulating resentnt over eight thousand years, attracting many Moores to dwell here, it is understandable why this Dragon Corpse Swamp has beco like this."
If Albion’s remains still contained power, this place wouldn’t have descended into its current state.
Unfortunately, the dragon skeleton completely lost its power, becoming a defective piece, with even its original "tips," born from it, being taken away, leaving only pure toxin, devoid of any mystery whatsoever.
If anyone approaches this Dragon Corpse Swamp, contacting the toxins within, then even if they are a servant, their spirit origin will definitely be affected.
As for human life forms... they’d likely undergo genetic mutations, turning into grotesque beings, right?
Fortunately, neither Reiger nor Altoria would be affected.
Reiger, of course, has various powers within that render him immune to such negative effects. Altoria, born as a Paradise Fairy from the Inner Sea of the Star, inherently carries a blessing from the Inner Sea of the Star. Her destiny power is abundant, unlikely to be swayed by re toxins like these.
Of course, while the dragon skeleton and the Dragon Corpse Swamp can’t affect Altoria, what’s "inside" the dragon bones might not...
Thinking of the "gate" that exists here, Reiger imdiately shifted his gaze to Altoria and got to the main point.
"The Mirror Clan originally inhabited this swamp’s vicinity, establishing a settlent among the six major fairy clans within this lake."
"When exterminated, the Mirror Clan didn’t leave here, and all mbers, including the clan leader, were killed here."
"The entity we’re looking for must be here."
Or rather, right beneath the ground the two stood upon.
