The Collection of The End

——? ? ? ——

The Forest of Fallen Giants.

"[Kanggao——]"

After the "Rage Giant King" was defeated by Sherlock, he let out an unwilling and angry roar while disintegrating the wood, and finally turned into a gray-green tree with a vague human shape.

"This guy is somewhat outrageous. After knocking its giant sword away, it actually chose to pull off one of its own hands to use as a weapon." Sherlock's clothes were a little messy from sliding to dodge: "If the fight continues, Is it going to pull off its own legs and use them as weapons, and then roll them to attack?”

"It's possible." Melina, who was not affected by the battle at all, nodded.

"I was just kidding, huh? What?"

In the middle of Sherlock's words, he saw Melina extending her hand to the giant king who had turned into a tree.

As she moved, streams of golden light dispersed and gathered from the giant tree. Finally, it turned into a ball in her hand...about the size of two fists, as fluffy as a cloud and like a flame. Bright golden object.

"[The soul of the giant king]," Melina said proactively without waiting for Sherlock to ask. She read in an unexpected tone: "[The soul of the giant king who destroyed Dolan Guleg in the past.]"

"[Pankrad, the king of Dolanguleg, listened to the advice of Princess Duna Xiangzhuo and crossed the sea to seize the powerful soul of the giant."

"[The giants were defeated by the dragon cavalry coming across the sea, and were captured and brought back to the royal city. At that time, the king's face was already covered with an unknown shadow.]"

"[After using it, you will get a huge amount of soul, which can also be used to forge equipment with great power.]"

Isn’t this “reminiscence”?

At that time, in the junction area, after defeating some BOSS, this kind of thing would be dropped. In their "item descriptions", in addition to the name at the beginning and the purpose at the end, there would definitely be one or two paragraphs introducing the world view in the middle, but basically The details are vague, and a complete history must be pieced together using a large number of related items.

However, because there was the encyclopedia "Melina the Witch" at that time, Sherlock was basically too lazy to summarize and analyze those things.

Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, it seems that "Little Melina" and "Black Lantern Clea" also have "search engine" skills, but the latter talks less and is ignored.

As for this "Pan Krad", Melina has already told his story once, but now there is an additional figure who seems to be very crucial - "Princess Du Na Xiangzhuo".

"What kind of 'princess' is this? Why does she suggest attacking the country of giants?" Sherlock asked: "The living giants are imprisoned as slaves, and the dead giants extract their souls. She should know that she will definitely be retaliated by the other party."

Although it seems that all the giants were wiped out in the end, but what was the cost? Wasn't Dolanguleg destroyed because of this? Moreover, the phrase "the face is covered with an unknown shadow" is also very concerning.

"['Apostle of Desire' Du Na Xiangzhuo is a fragment of the 'Abyss',]" Melina looked at the "soul" in her hand, but her eyes had no focus: "[She tried every means, just to save Dolan Gu Reg led to destruction."

It sounds a bit familiar, and it seems that there are many similar stories in ancient Eastern history, but according to the professors, it is just a cowardly act of not daring to blame the king or emperor and blaming the responsibility for the country's demise on the woman.

However, do they really seem to be the culprits in this world?

"What is the 'Abyss'? What is its purpose? Does it just want to destroy Dolan Guleg?" Sherlock asked.

According to previous experience, when a noun is spoken from Melina's mouth, it becomes a "hyperlink" that can be "jumped". In order to avoid jumping too far and deviating from the original purpose, Sherlock usually does not Will ask about irrelevant things.

But this time is different. The so-called "abyss" clearly has the intention of destroying the world - and it seems to have succeeded.

"[When the first fire in the world was born, the shadow that appeared was the abyss. The fire always wanted to drive away the abyss, and the abyss always wanted to swallow the fire. The establishment of the country and the birth of the king would make the flames stronger, and vice versa. , the flame will gradually extinguish."

As expected, when it comes to the underlying settings of the world, Melina's words become somewhat incomprehensible:

"[Countries continue to be established, kings are constantly born, and the abyss is constantly being expelled. The fragments generated in the process inherit the will of the abyss and want to overthrow those countries and destroy those kings. One of them is Du Naxiangzhuo. She doesn’t want to destroy Dolangurege, but she wants to destroy all the countries on this continent.”

"Other countries were also destroyed by Duna Xiangzhuo? Did she instigate King Pankrad to attack them like the country of giants?" Sherlock continued to ask.

"[Other countries also have their own fragments of the abyss,]" Melina replied: "[They are, respectively, the princess of the 'White King's Country': 'Silent' Yarsuna, and the princess of the 'Holy Wall Country': 'Filthy Elena', the princess of the 'Land of Molten Iron': 'Coal Bride' Nadella]"

Does the Abyss Shard have any obsession with transforming into a princess to bewitch the king? !

But if you think about it carefully, if reality and the abyss correspond to light and shadow, there is really nothing wrong with them doing this. Just look at those kings who did marry them all as princesses.

Sherlock was silent for a moment, and then asked: "So they all succeeded?"

This is a redundant question. If they failed in the end, the world would not be like this at all.

"I don't know," Melina returned to her dull expression: "The Giant King did not attack the other three countries, and the relationship between Duna Xiangzhuo and the other 'princess' is not very good."

Hmm, is this the end of the information that can be obtained just by relying on the "soul of the Giant King"?

Maybe he really has to travel to all four worlds and get some related items so that Melina can interpret the history and summarize a way to save the world.

Um? Wait, is that merchant carrying a bunch of equipment from other countries?

"Melentilla, where are you?" Sherlock looked towards the corner where the merchant had been hiding, only to find that there was no one there.

"Over there." Melina raised her hand and pointed to the ruins where the "Giant King" had just rushed out.

Although no one could be seen because it was blocked by the broken eaves and broken walls, the super-large backpack was very conspicuous as it flickered around, especially when something would fly up out of thin air and land in the basket from time to time.

As expected, all his equipment came from this...

Forget it, there is no rush to obtain information, let’s bring him back to Rumi first.

"Help, help - help!" Before Sherlock was about to call him, the merchant ran back from the ruins while letting out a familiar scream.

bass--

A big sword fell in the air and was inserted diagonally at the position where Melentilla had just ran. Then, a knight wearing heavy armor that was constantly emitting black smoke, holding a huge shield, and a red light coming out of his helmet appeared. Falling from the sky, he slowly pulled out the big sword, and then pointed it at Sherlock from a distance.

What appeared next was the familiar long health bar and its name.
