Skretil's Ignorance Walker

"What's going on?"

Sensing that the size of the army this time was much larger than that of the dwarves, Lu Ren felt that this was not like a parade, but more like going out to fight.

"Something big is going to happen."

Just when Lu Ren asked the question, a familiar voice came from beside her, and Lu Ren immediately learned the identity of the visitor through perception.

"It's you, Philomea."

"Hello, Lu Ren, I haven't seen you for a while."

"We'll talk about that later. You just said something big was going to happen. Do you know anything?"

Seeing Lu Ren's impatient inquiry, Philomea crossed her arms and said, don't worry, and then slowly said: "A battle group of dark horned beasts was discovered in the southern part of the Kingdom of Bols, so the king Urgent order was given to send out troops to exterminate them."

"Dark horned beast..."

After listening to Philomea's words, Lu Ren first thought of Cubas Bloodfury, whom he met in the forest outside Weibaden City. It was finally transformed into a dark horned beast by Demon General Molt, although it seemed He has lost his mind, but his combat ability has been greatly improved. Can an ordinary army really defeat it?

Perhaps Philomea also saw Lu Ren's worry, she smiled, and then said slowly.

"There is no need to worry. The Kingdom of Bols is also one of the best among the central countries, with a powerful army. And the dark horned beasts are not all special individuals like Kubas. Ordinary ones among them In terms of overall combat quality, a soldier is even inferior to a professional soldier."

"That's it..."

Thinking about it, Kubas himself is a being with extremely high combat power. It is not surprising that he became so strong after being transformed. And if all of those ordinary dark horned beasts were as strong as Kubas, they would have become so strong. Sweeping the world.

Moreover, according to Philomea, the Dark Horned Beast was created by demons through the Minotaur. Then according to Bleich, the purpose of the demons is to eventually rule the entire mortal world, so no matter how strong the Dark Horned Beast is, It will not destroy this world, and at most it will destroy all other living things.

"Look, that man is Brad Von Stark."

Just after Lu Ren felt relieved, someone else pointed at a heavily armored knight riding a warhorse in the middle of the army and said.

Stark?

Lu Ren suddenly thought that Philomea had this last name, and she also came from a noble family.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren turned around and looked back at Philomea, who also understood what she meant.

"Looking at your lackluster little eyes, it's obviously invisible, but it's still very touching."

Philomea teased, then she put her hands behind her body and looked at the heavy armored knight with nostalgic eyes.

"That man is my brother's grandson. Come to think of it, he probably has never seen me."

"Gah, grandson? At what age can humans give birth to offspring?"

"Ok?"

This was when the duck on Lu Ren's head suddenly spoke. Maybe she saw that Philomea was so young, and her brother's grandsons all looked older than her, so there was some misunderstanding. But this also shocked Philomea.

"Here, this duck can actually talk?"

Philomea looked at the duck above Lu Ren's head in surprise, and then touched it with her hand. The latter lost himself comfortably under Philomea's touch.

"You can't tell, but your pet is quite special."

"I'm lucky, I met him in the forest."

Looking at the cute duck, Philomea didn't know why, but her eyes were filled with loneliness.

"Otherwise, I might as well keep a pet."

But unfortunately, how can talking pets be so easy to find?

"Listen up, little duck, I found the golden apple in the Forest of No Return to be able to live forever like this, so don't think you think I'm young, I'm actually dozens of years old."

"Quack...got it duck."

After Philomea answered Ducky's question, she still didn't let go. Instead, she kept stroking Ducky, which made Ducky keep making strange screams.

"The Forest of Non-Return? By the way, Philomea, have you ever encountered a particularly large dragon in the Forest of Non-Return?"

After hearing Philomea say that he had been to the Forest of No Return, Lu Ren suddenly realized that he might be able to ask Philomea about these things.

"Giant dragon? You mean that super giant dragon that is completely black, hundreds of meters tall, and can cover the sky?"

"Yes, yes, I have encountered a giant dragon in the forest outside Orff City before, but it felt different from the dragon I met in the Forest of No Return."

Philomea was very surprised when she heard what Lu Ren said. She said in disbelief: "Did you encounter a giant dragon in the forest outside the city?"

"That's right, but it was already destroyed by me. I just don't think it's as strong as the dragon I met in the Forest of No Return."

Philomea looked at Lu Ren with a shocked look on her face. She asked Lu Ren a little uncertainly but also curiously.

"Could it be that you fought that giant dragon in the Forest of No Return?"

"It doesn't count as a battle. I was attacked by it, but it ran away later."

Lu Ren did not intend to let the other party know that he could be resurrected. After all, the fewer people who knew about this kind of backhand, the better. After thinking about it, it seemed that only a few people knew about it now.

"You can actually survive its attack. You are strong enough."

"...Is that giant dragon very strong?"

At this time, Lu Ren already roughly knew through Philomea's reaction that the giant dragon in the Forest of No Return was not an ordinary dragon. It seemed that his death was not unjust.

"That's not a question of whether it's strong or not. That giant dragon is the 'Guardian' Astraea, one of the Ten Saints. Mortal things are absolutely invincible."

"Eh?! Are the Ten Saints actually such powerful beings?"

Although he was confident, Lu Ren was still very surprised. The Ten Saints were a concept that Bleich had told him before. He thought he might not see them that easily, but he didn't expect to meet them not long after he arrived in this world.

But then again, not even Bleich knew who the Ten Saints were, so how did Philomia know?

"Philomea, you know so much. How did you know that the dragon is one of the Ten Saints?"

Facing Lu Ren's question, Philomea remembered that dusty past again.

"I also encountered it when I was looking for golden apples in the Forest of Non-Return, but after communicating at that time, it let me go. Otherwise, even with the legendary weapons Paris gave me, I might not be able to resist it. attack."

"So that's it."

According to this, the other party is a being that can communicate, so why did it start attacking me without saying anything at that time? Could it be that he attacked himself after seeing the ruins he created?

This is also possible. After all, Lu Ren still remembers that the other party first observed the surroundings before attacking him. Maybe he was angry at the damage he caused.

No wonder Verdi said that the Forest of No Return is an existence that even the wood elves dare not easily set foot in. It turns out that there are ten saints sitting there. After experiencing the power of the other party, Lu Ren also made his own assessment. Since both Bleich and Philomea said that the Ten Saints are invincible in the world, and he has experienced it personally, then in the future I will never provoke the other party.

After making up his mind, Lu Ren also clenched his fists with both hands. If he can't offend me, why can't he hide? The worst-case scenario is that I will never go to the Forest of No Return again.
