Green Monster Epic

“The value of a master-level dish is something you should already know, even if I don't say it. While your so-called secret is attractive to me, I don't think it's as valuable as one of my dishes, considering the uncertainty and risks involved in confirming the information.”

Speaking frankly, despite his close relationship with Figlas, they always kept their friendship separate from their transactions, maintaining a clear distinction between the two. After some deliberation, Allen felt he was at a disadvantage and shook his head slightly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

“I can personally take you to the entrance of that demi-plane and help you find the magical coordinates to locate it. Surely, that's worth a magical dish from you.”

Figlas also knew the deal wasn't fair, so he added to his offer: “Of course, I can also be a helper and explore that unknown demi-plane with you.”

“Even if you can afford the equivalent price and are lucky enough to find the weakest point in the demi-plane's barrier, I can also tell you how to establish a permanent passage and how to move the demi-plane's coordinates to the closest possible location to the Greenwild Plains.”

“……”

Hearing such good news, the greed in Allen's heart was replaced by a strong sense of vigilance. Although he didn't show it on his face, the depths of his eyes revealed an indescribable expression as he looked at the hobgoblin.

“If you put it that way, I feel a little uneasy. Could there be any dangers or problems in this demi-plane?”

“These are all related to the secrets. If you want to know the answers, you have to pay the price.”

Figlas knew Allen's personality well and wasn't afraid he wouldn't be tempted, so he looked quite composed.

“Alright! It's just a magical dish, it will only delay me for some time!”

Allen gritted his teeth and finally made a decision. Even if he knew the information about this demi-plane, it wouldn't matter. If there were too many troubles and risks inside, he could just not get involved for the time being and act after he was fully prepared.

In any case, such valuable information would be collected by any powerful force, and the Greenwild Tribe should already have some preparations for this, given its current strength and status.

“You can talk now.”

“Hehe!!!”

After hearing Allen's affirmative reply, Figlas's face lit up with a bright smile. He directly took out a set of exquisite and comfortable tables and chairs from his dimensional bag and placed them on the snowy mountain top. After the two sat down comfortably, he slowly began to tell the important secret.

“You must have heard countless times about the origin of the Mansa Wilderness.”

“The wilderness was transformed from the fallen body and kingdom of the Mansa Goddess, so there are five forbidden lands on this long and narrow continent. The forbidden land we opened together with the Star of Splendor last time was one of them.”

“The four forbidden lands seem to be like other dimensions, but they are actually areas separated from the Mansa Wilderness and hidden by magical means. Their essence still belongs to a part of the Feyman World.”

“But there is one forbidden land that is self-contained. If you really count it, it should be considered an independent demi-plane.”

Hearing this, Allen's eyebrows furrowed, and he already had some guesses in his mind: “You're not going to tell me that one of the five forbidden lands in the Mansa Wilderness is the secret of the demi-plane, are you?”

“That's what it is!”

“…, Since you dragons already know this secret, how do you think the guys in the Temple of Nature wouldn't know it?”

“They know the secret, but the forbidden land still stands safely in place, which obviously means that there is some big problem with this demi-plane that prevents them from intercepting and controlling it!”

“Even the Temple Church can't do it. How do you think I, a berserker who is completely ignorant of space magic, can take this demi-plane for myself?”

Allen felt that the master-level dish he had given away was not worth it. He felt like he had made a losing deal, and he didn't expect this dragon to disregard their friendship and do something to trick a hobgoblin.

“…Just listen to me finish!”

Figlas took out a delicate crystal bottle, shook the bright red wine inside, and poured a glass of wine for Allen and himself: “The Misty Forest is the most unique of the five forbidden lands because its land is connected to a different space transformed from the goddess's womb that conceived life. An organ that can breed divine descendants, even if it eventually becomes mortal land, it is only attached to the cracks of the Feyman World and has never truly connected with the Feyman World.”

“Later, the goddess's descendants established a permanent passage connecting to the demi-plane for their own development and pursuit. They also set up an extremely powerful permanent magic lock in this demi-plane. Without the means to control the magic lock, one can only wait until the magic lock temporarily fails at a specific time node before outsiders can enter.”

“And the time span between the two entries into the demi-plane is roughly…”

“Five hundred years! When the Star God's Throne appears with the five stars in a row, it is the time node when that powerful magic lock fails.”

Figlas didn't mention the Misty Forest, and Allen almost forgot about the location of this relic. Back then, he first came into contact with the relic here, and it was also during the relic adventure that he was first hunted down by a legendary powerhouse, and almost lost his life in that place.

“So you also know about this relic!”

Figlas was slightly surprised and didn't expect Allen to know about the relic.

“I not only know, but I also personally explored this magic lock five hundred years ago and gained a lot of things that seemed very valuable at the time.”

Allen replied unhappily: “It was also in that relic that I first met Nording, the leader of the Oak Church's Knights, and I was fortunate enough to be protected by him from the pursuit of a legendary powerhouse.”

“The existence of that relic is not a secret in the wilderness at all. If I go and ask Tim and Bobir now, they will definitely give me an affirmative answer.”

“Now I feel even more that you are using a well-known secret to deceive me.”

“Hey, dear Allen, do you think I'm a dragon who would deceive a friend?”

Figlas suddenly became very sentimental and looked at Allen faintly: “There may be many existences in the wilderness who know the secret of the relic in the Misty Forest, but they will definitely not know that the space where this relic is located is a demi-plane!”

“Perhaps only the Church forces of the Temple would know very well that this relic space is a demi-plane!”
