Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Nightingale was cautious. He knew that the person was not immortal, or rather, not just one person, but a type of person, just with very similar characteristics and appearances.

"I met one."

The tentacles on the mushroom monster trembled, piecing together the shape of Luo Xiu:

"He was also very tall and liked to laugh, but his smile was completely different from that of the person from a thousand years ago, and he didn't look the same either. Most importantly, he wasn't followed by a bunch of random people; he was the one who was very powerful."

"not him."

The nightingale spoke, but it wouldn't place all its hopes on these two fools in front of it; otherwise, it would have been finished long ago, swallowed whole by its own cousins.

It naturally knew the person the mushroom monster was talking about, and had personally confirmed it.

It confirmed that the person did not belong to that category.

He didn't have that kind of aura about him.

Chapter 216 Dorrant's Ultimate Secret - The End

The thought of that kind of person made Nightingale feel nauseous.

It opened its brownish-yellow beak, covered its head with its wings, and gagged forcefully, but nothing came out.

It really felt like throwing up. Anyone who had been thwarted by a guy for a thousand years would feel utterly disgusted.

It's like dog poop; you can't shake it off, you can't wash it clean, and it continues to smell bad for a thousand years.

Even it, with a lifespan of ten or twenty thousand years, cannot withstand a thousand years of waste.

It has long since become a disgrace to its own lineage of demons, and even its parents and ancestors are...

"vomit--"

This time it really vomited, because it remembered its parents and grandparents.

A mysterious black liquid dripped from its mouth onto the ground, instantly spreading and corroding a large area of ​​land, turning it into black nothingness.

The Bat Queen and the Mushroom Monster watched this scene, and at the opportune moment, they lowered their heads and closed their eyes.

If the nightingale finds out that it saw the nightingale vomiting, it might get a severe beating.

The nightingale vomited for a while, then lifted its concealed wings and saw the mushroom monster and the demon bat queen with their heads down, not daring to move. A hint of satisfaction flashed in its cold, obsidian-like eyes, and it sneered:

"Fatty, come and clean this up."

The mushroom monster shuddered, knowing that Nightingale was calling it. Its house-sized body wriggled and rolled onto the patch of black, polluted earth that Nightingale had just vomited on, "recycling" the liquid Nightingale had expelled.

But soon, it raised itself, its narrow, scarlet eyes flashing with surprise as it looked at the nightingale:

"My lord, you... have recovered?"

More than a thousand years ago, Nightingale claimed that she had suffered a mysterious injury that suppressed her demonic nature. Although demons could enhance the bloodline of demons, Nightingale was unable to use this ability.

Moreover, the one in the south and the one in the north also encountered the same situation.

But now, after the mushroom monster ingested the black liquid on the ground, it sensed a strong demonic aura. Keep in mind, this wasn't even blood, leading to the speculation that Nightingale had definitely recovered.

"almost."

Nightingale was very satisfied with the mushroom monster's performance, and the muscles at the corners of her mouth turned up.

"It won't be more than six months before I'm fully recovered. At that time, I will personally oversee the effort and flatten this damned kingdom."

The mushroom monster and the demon bat were overjoyed by the first half of the nightingale's words, but the second half made them hesitate.

"My lord, didn't you say that you couldn't personally participate in this trial? If you do, it will not only be considered a violation of the rules, but you will also suffer the consequences of the treaty."

"Yes, sir, let us do it. With your buff after you recover, we will definitely be able to slaughter all these inferior creatures."

As the nightingale listened to their advice, its violent aura suddenly reappeared. It took flight and gave each of them a wing. Black arcs of light swept through the air, instantly slashing open huge, bloody wounds on the bodies of the mushroom monster and the demon bat queen, who trembled and fell silent.

"Damn it! You guys? If you were useful, would you be waiting for me to recover?! A bunch of idiots! Even if it's against the rules, we have to take this down this time. I've had enough of this godforsaken place. Idiots, you're all idiots!"

It stood behind the Demon Bat Queen, gazing out of the cave:

"As for the backlash of the treaty... it can't stop me either. I couldn't wait any longer. If it weren't for the fact that the injuries I've sustained over the past thousand years haven't healed, I would have wiped out the other side myself long ago."

"This year, I must leave this year."

It kicked the Demon Bat Queen beneath it:

"Inform Rovanpu that I will be meeting with my cousin in a week to discuss this matter."

“He must be getting impatient too. I understand him, I understand him so well.”

After saying that, it flapped its wings, flew off the back of the Demon Bat Queen, and transformed into a dark current, flying out of the cave.

Outside the cave, looking at the boundless night that it had seen countless times, its eyes flashed with utter disgust and ruthlessness.

It was of course unharmed; it was all because of those damned people. If it weren't for them, it would have destroyed this country long ago.

Treaties, trials, ancestors—none of it matters.

……

……

"[Interviewer], I think Olivia has already introduced her to you."

Tata spoke, uttering a name Luo Xiu had never heard before, but he quickly realized that it must be the name of the woman who might be a "witch".

That is, Tata's junior sister.

"Yes."

Luo Xiu nodded.

He learned the name "Guide" from that woman, and also learned that the previous "Guide" was Tata and White's teacher, and his own grandmaster.

"As you know, the previous [Leader] was my teacher, and also White's teacher."

Tata said slowly:

"That's why I know many secrets that even the core royal family doesn't know."

"Over the years, the core royal family has been in a great hurry because they have not yet found the next generation of [Guides], and there is no longer a seventh-tier being in the kingdom. If this continues, only destruction awaits Dorant."

"Without the next generation [Leader], the possibility of a seventh-tier being born in the kingdom is extremely slim."

"Because to reach the seventh rank, one needs not only sufficient divinity, but also the approval of the will of the gods. And since we are in the land of divine ruins, the will of the gods will almost never look at us."

"That's why the core royal family frequently launches various activities to gather the geniuses of the entire kingdom. Based on past experience, the [Guide] will usually appear beside the most talented child in the entire kingdom and take that child on a journey through Dorant."

"But what they don't know is that there will be no next generation [the author]."

Hearing this news, which should have been surprising, Luo Xiu was surprisingly calm. There had been too many similar reports tonight, and he had gotten used to it.

“This news was told to me by Olivia. She said that when her teacher last met her, he told her that there would be no next generation [Leader], and that he was the last generation.”

"I was initially skeptical of what Olivia said, but over the years, a new generation of [Leaders] has indeed not appeared."

As Tata spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and chuckled:

"But those royals deserve it. They didn't treat the teacher well when he was alive, but now that he's gone, they're starting to remember how good he was."

"Teacher, you've already accomplished your mission as the [Guide] of this generation. You nurtured Senior Brother Earl. It's just a pity that we didn't live up to your expectations." (See White's letter in Chapter 92)

Tata's words revealed a lot of information again.

1. The royal family's attitude towards the "guide" is one of urgent need but unwillingness to be particularly close.

2. The task of the [Leader] may be to cultivate at least one seventh-tier individual in each generation, and Tata's teacher also accomplished this, cultivating a genius named Earl.

When Luo Xiu heard the name Earl, he suddenly felt that it was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

He racked his brains and finally remembered seeing the name in a certain classic book.

"Teacher, are you saying that the sword saint who died 30 years ago was your senior brother?"

Tata nodded.

"Five years after my senior brother died, my teacher passed away unexpectedly."

Tata's voice was filled with sadness when she mentioned her deceased teacher.

If Luo Xiu converted his age, even if his teacher's senior brother was older than his teacher, if it were 30 years ago, he wouldn't be considered old, and would probably not be more than 50 years old.

At less than 50 years old, he has reached the seventh rank. Just as Tata said, he is absolutely capable of reaching the eighth rank.

But he unexpectedly perished.

He vaguely sensed that there was a pair of hands manipulating things from behind, seemingly trying to completely crush Dorrant on this land, giving him no chance whatsoever.

"So, during those 25 years..."

Luo Xiu looked at Tata. Without a seventh-tier figure in charge, the core royal family and high-ranking officials of Dorant must have lived in great fear for the past 25 years. After all, as far as he knew, only one seventh-tier figure had been born in the slime in the last ten years.

If Dorrant doesn't have any Tier 7 units to fight, he will definitely be slaughtered once the monsters send out Tier 7 units.

“Not every seventh-tier hero dies a tragic death. Historically, many seventh-tier heroes trained by the [Guides] stayed in Dorant and sealed themselves away in their old age, leaving some power to fight in times of crisis, just to fill the gap when the [Guides] were not around.”

"[The author] noted that there was a gap period, approximately twenty to thirty years."

Tata responded.

"But the core royal family is indeed very panicked. After all, there are no truly surviving seventh-tier beings. If the demons gain the upper hand, the kingdom will be plunged into the abyss."

Luo Xiu got up and poured wine into his teacher's and his own cups.

The two chatted and drank, and the bottle of cider was almost empty.

"The contributions of the Guide to our Dorant are too numerous to describe. From the initial detailed division of the guiding professions, to the later rational planning of the operation of each Knight Order, to the detailed exploration of the promotion conditions between the fifth, sixth and seventh ranks, and including establishing contact with the outside world, exploring the origin of the Land of Divine Remnants, exploring the history of the Demon God... the Guide's shadow can be seen in all of these."

"No one knows for sure where they came from, nor does anyone know why they are working so hard to help Dorrant escape this land of divine ruins."

“Even if I were to tell this to someone else instead of you, Luo Xiu, most people would probably think I’m talking nonsense and that there’s never been such a person as the ‘Introducer’.”

Tata's voice grew increasingly intense as he spoke, but then abruptly stopped. He looked at Luo Xiu, who was holding a wine glass suspended in mid-air, oblivious to the spilled wine, and asked:

"Luo Xiu, what's wrong with you...?"

"Oh, oh, I'm fine, teacher. I just zoned out. I'm so sorry."

Luo Xiu snapped out of his daze and immediately waved his hand, summoning a warm current with the [Hand of Creation] to clean up the wine stains on the ground.

“It’s already very good, Luo Xiu. When I first heard this news, I was even more surprised than you are now. Your composure is beyond my expectations.”
