Pillar of Yita Chapter 1375 - 204: Mysterious Identity and Past? (Part 2)

Fang Hong nodded.

"Eve," he then asked: "Earlier, you needed my help; may I ask why?"

"Ah!" The girl quickly nodded: "It's like this, Lord Holy Chooser. There are so things underground here, and I'm worried that if they co out, it might cause so trouble."

"So trouble?"

"Yes, there's a sealing here. I've stayed here for a long ti before discovering this point. I found that this sealing might be loosening, and I'm worried that the darkness inside might escape, so can Lord Holy Chooser help repair the sealing here?"

"Sealing?"

Although Fang Hong had already learned about this matter from R, he still deliberately asked: "Is there sothing sealed underground in Idus?"

"I'm not quite sure what it is, but I can feel it's not anything good because the dark force is stirring under the seal." The girl replied, "The Istania Desert used to be the battlefield of the War of Humans and Dragons. That's why the Oathkeeper Clan lives here. Perhaps a Dragon King from that ti sleeps under the desert below Idus."

Fang Hong was truly startled; he thought this wasn't related to the Nikopolas storyline, so why would it involve a Dragon King? Moreover, during the era of the Giant War, the only Dragon King among the Dark Giant Dragons was Lifegard, who had long been beheaded under the blade of the Mo'ya Holy Sword.

That battle also completely severed the vitality of the Floating Continent of Aithelin. However, although Fang Hong wasn't an ancient geographic expert of Eteliria, he knew 'Aithelin' as a historical geographical term was located in today's northern Tarun, rather than Istania.

In fact, the broken Tarun Continent was once part of Aithelin. This vast ancient continent even extended to the present-day Fenris Isle area. But it absolutely had no relation to Istania, and they were separated by north and south, worlds apart.

However, what the girl said might not be entirely wrong. A branch of the Oathkeeper Clan lived in seclusion here, indicating that a War of Humans and Dragons truly happened here once. The reason for the formation of the Istania Desert wasn't entirely physical; various signs suggest that a catastrophic magic shaped today's Silver Sand Sea.

It's just that the sub-battlefields and main battlefields in the Giant War are no more than differences.

The girl couldn't help but giggle: "Did I scare Lord Holy Chooser? I was actually just joking, after all, I've never seen a Dragon King... It's just that the dark force underground in Idus indeed exists. Lord Holy Chooser doesn't need to worry too much; that seal is still quite stable, it just needs so reinforcent."

Fang Hong couldn't help but think of the things he had seen before, the purple fla dragon-like creature, and those black bugs. He couldn't help but wonder, was there truly sothing sealed underground in Idus?

And what did this all have to do with Nikopolas? Moreover, R told him the seal was already empty inside, so where did those he saw co from?

The girl still closed her eyes, looking towards Fang Hong: "So, will Lord Holy Chooser help ?"

Fang Hong nodded, worried that the other wouldn't see it, and then replied: "What should I do?"

"Thank you, Lord Holy Chooser," the girl answered softly: "Please follow . Actually, the materials to repair the seal are in the underground here, but there are so wandering shadow creatures guarding that place, and it'll be a bit difficult for to go alone."

She asked: "Does Lord Holy Chooser have combat ability?"

"So."

"Then let's collaborate; I'll collect the materials, and Lord Holy Chooser will protect ." The girl smiled slightly and seriously replied: "I've done this kind of thing more than once, and I'll act quickly."

At this mont, Fang Hong saw a line of text appear in his chat bar.

R: "Those shadow creatures are remnants from inside the seal. There is a small elite lord patrolling, around level 21, but it's not necessarily required to kill it. There's no drop, and it doesn't affect the subsequent task line."

Fang Hong felt as if he was following a strategy guide to analyze tasks together, like his past experiences—his counterpart verbally expressed skepticism about finding anything new from it, yet still wholeheartedly guided him.

He quietly asked: "Teacher, what is the terrain like there?"

"I was about to ntion that there, a naturally ford water erosion landform exists; you need to be careful. Theoretically, in such complex terrain, it's very disadvantageous for a Combat Artisan to act alone."

Fang Hong was greatly surprised: "But how could there be a water erosion landform here?"

"Because in the past, there were underground water veins beneath Idus. Underground water extended into the depths of the cavernous mountains, and before the disaster of Aithelin, Long Lake had an outlet towards Istania, not the barren appearance you see today."

Fang Hong always felt sothing wasn't right; the counterpart claid to have accidentally overheard this task, yet how could sothing overheard be so richly detailed, thoroughly understood to such precise degree? He couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, how do you know so well about this?"

R: "Didn't I say? A friend told —do you think I truly went to that place?"

Fang Hong honestly nodded.

But he thought inwardly, I don't believe you; you definitely went, would a friend describe an insignificant task with such detail? Since you said nobody cared about this task, who would write such a thorough strategy guide?
