Chapter 199 Forest Princess

   Staring at the girl in front of her who claimed to be the princess of the Spirit Mouse Clan, everyone was stunned.

  The girl in front of her is very short, or, at least from the outside, she is about the same height as a dwarf, and may even be shorter. And the figure is not as strong as a dwarf, but very slender. To be honest, in Duanmuhuai's view, this girl is more like the size of a walking Barbie doll...

   "We're just a bunch of travelers."

   Duanmu Huai came to Milfie and stared at her. To be honest, in front of Duanmu Huai, Milfy looked even smaller, almost as big as a figure.

   "Then, please leave here."

  Although looking at Duanmu Huai made Milfi a little uneasy, she still took a deep breath and calmly stared at Duanmu Huai.

   "This is a cursed place, and anyone who walks into it will be cursed."

"oh?"

  Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.

   "If you don't mind, how about telling us in detail?"

"………sure."

   Soon, Melfi explained the situation of this underground world to everyone in detail.

  According to Milfie, this underground world was once an extremely hot furnace, and the raging flames converged into red rivers, burning day and night. Later, a sapling appeared in this hot place. It was not destroyed by the flames, but grew vigorously and turned into a towering tree. Under the action of this big tree, the roaring and raging flames gradually disappeared. Then, from the dust-covered ground, countless vegetation grew, forming a brand new, wonderful and huge underground world.

  At that time, many races were also attracted here, and later these races also received the blessing of the golden tree, and became stronger and stronger, forming civilized countries one by one.

   Among them are humans, orcs, giants, and even the existence of spirit rats such as Moon Rabbit Demon and Milfy. They are in this underground world together, living a harmonious and peaceful life without disputes with the world.

   Soon, however, all this changed.

One of the tribes suddenly claimed that they had been guided by the golden tree, and demanded that all races must believe in the golden law-this immediately caused dissatisfaction among many other tribes, although every tribe did regard the golden tree as part of their beliefs , but because of different civilizations, their interpretations of the golden tree are also different.

  The actions of this tribe, in the eyes of others, seemed like they planned to monopolize the golden tree, which was naturally intolerable, so soon, the war broke out.

   But I have to say that this golden clan is indeed powerful. They finally defeated other tribes, captured their faith and power, and used this power to cast the Golden Law. Only a very small number of tribes escaped unharmed. For example, the Spirit Mouse Clan in Milfie is one of them. After all, mice are good at escaping. When the Golden Clan came, the Spirit Mouse Clan immediately moved and fled to this underground On the outskirts of the world, a small city was built here to avoid the influence of the golden clan.

  After this, the Golden Clan flourished for a while, almost occupying the entire underground world called "Junction Land".

  However, prosperity must decline, and the golden law that used to be the source of power of the golden family was completely broken for some unknown reason, and then a terrible curse suddenly broke out, sweeping the entire golden family.

Milfy didn't know what happened, only knew that those golden people who were once blessed under the golden law had now turned into half-dead monsters, their minds had gone mad and turned into monsters full of hatred and distortion . And the remaining leaders of the golden clan seem to be collecting fragments of the golden law to reshape the law of this world.

  Of course, those races that escaped the slaughter of the Golden Clan didn’t think of taking this opportunity to take back the Golden Tree. They organized an army and tried to break into the Golden Clan’s royal city and take back the Golden Tree. However, the curse and madness on this land exceeded their expectations. The entire expeditionary force was completely wiped out, and only a few delirious survivors managed to return.

  However, it is not only these that are terrible.

   Those survivors who came back with great difficulty also brought back a terrible infectious disease, which can infect all those who are close to it, turn them into lunatics, and then turn them into ashes in the flames. And this disaster also seriously injured the vitality of those races that had not been wiped out. After that, no one dared to approach the golden tree, and the same was true for the spirit rat clan led by Milfie. On the outside, everything is monitored, and those outsiders are prevented from stepping into the junction.

   "Therefore, please leave here immediately."

   After telling the story about this land, Milfy stared at them and spoke again.

   "This land has been cursed, anyone who steps into it cannot return, please leave immediately!"

   "Even if you say so, I won't give up."

  Of course Duanmu Huai would not just turn his head and leave because of this. In fact, after listening to Milfie's words, he became more interested in the Golden Law. And just now Duanmuhuai compared this land with the real map and found that the large land from the southern leaders to the Skaven magic city almost all coincided with this place.

  Now that this world has become fragments, it means that this world has been destroyed in reality.

   So, what is the reason for its destruction?

  This world is now obviously, like the Holy City and Manaria, caught in an endless loop, but every endless loop has a reason.

  The reason for the destruction of the holy city was that the monks of the Mechanicum summoned the **** demon, the king of ice hell.

  The reason for the destruction of Manaria was because of the war between Manaria and Regnese caused by the evil dragon Fafna.

  So, what about this borderland?

   What caused its demise?

  And, that power...does it have something to do with the Skaven?

According to Milfie, the golden tree gave a lot of power to the races at first, which made them open up their intelligence, and even evolved into humanoid races like this, like Milfie, Duanmuhuai and the others met outside The mouse guards that arrived were still in the form of mice. But Milfy only has ears and a tail like a mouse, and the rest is no different from humans.

   Isn't that what the Skavens are like?

  Originally they were just rats, but for some reason they developed intelligence and became a race of wisdom—in fact, the Skavens seem to be the only ones on the entire planet.

   After all, whether it is dwarves, humans, high elves or ogres, orcs can clearly verify their origins. Only the Skaven belong to a race that appeared inexplicably after an acquired taste.

   It was as if there were no ratmen in this world, but suddenly one day the ratmen came out from the cracks in the rocks.

  They are not monkeys, is it possible?

  Besides, there are so many animals, why is it not a rat man? Not pigs, sheep and cattle, nor tigers and lions. In terms of quantity, there are millions of times more cockroaches than mice.

  But let’s forget about the cockroach star who is full of muscles, he will probably pass out immediately after seeing it.

  Duanmu Huai always had an intuition that this fragment of the world might have some inseparable relationship with the birth of the horned rat and the Skaven.

   And all these secrets are hidden in the golden tree.

   "We have already decided to go to the Golden Tree, Your Highness Milfie, you may think our choice is stupid, but we also have things to do, so I am very sorry that we cannot follow your request."

"Really………"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Milfie lowered his head a little dejectedly, but at this moment, suddenly, another voice sounded.

   "In this case, how about I go with you?"

Hearing this voice, Duanmuhuai and the others raised their heads and looked into the depths of the forest, only to see a girl walking out of the forest, similar to Milfie before, she also had a pair of furry animal ears and She has long golden hair, but compared to Milfy, who resembles a Barbie doll, this girl's body shape is not much different from that of an ordinary human girl. She wears a skirt armor and holds a huge shield with a long sword in her hand. . Curiosity and excitement shone in a pair of deep blue eyes.

"I also saw what you did just now. You were able to defeat the big tree guards so easily. You are indeed extraordinary travelers. Since you have decided to go to the Golden Tree, can you take me with you? ?”

   "Your Highness!"

  Seeing the appearance of this girl, Milfie cried out in surprise, and Duanmu Huai also looked at her.

"Who are you………"

   "Ah, hello, it's the first time we meet. I'm the forest princess, Mysterina. I'm barely the protector of this forest."

  The girl named Mysterina smiled slightly at Duanmuhuai, and then saluted.

   "I don't know if this mighty steel warrior will allow me to walk together?

   "Your Highness, please don't make such hasty speeches!"

  Duanmu Huai hadn't spoken yet, but Milfie spoke with a pale complexion.

   "You are the guardian of the forest, what would the forest be like without you..."

   "I know that very well, Milfy."

  However, Mysterina interrupted Milfie with a serious expression.

"You should also be very clear that the current forest is becoming weaker and weaker, and the curse has begun to spread and spread. Even we will always have a day of nowhere to go. Therefore, I hope to go to the golden tree, and the land Talk to your mother, maybe you can find the root cause of all this. At least, it's better than staying here and watching everything deteriorate and doing nothing."

   Having said this, Mysterina looked at Duanmuhuai again.

   "This powerful steel warrior was able to defeat the big tree guard with his bare hands, which has proven his strength. Since they don't intend to leave, don't you think someone familiar with this place would be more helpful?"

   "Yes, but in that case I can also..."

   "That's right."

  Hearing Melfi's words, Mysterina nodded with a smile.

   "Then, come with me."

   Then, she spoke.
