[Comprehensive] Every exam must be passed

(Miton Hill)

Bilika stood up abruptly, Miraj immediately put away her horrified expression, and smiled at Bilika: "I'm sorry, Bilika, did I scare you just now?"

Bilika shook her head quickly.

Gray gritted his teeth and yelled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I understand! The West Country Ruins, right! Can't I go!"

Bilika secretly glanced at Milaj, and this gentle waitress got angry, as if she was many times more powerful than Gray.

***

Xiguo Ruins Park is located to the west of Nathan City. The main body is composed of three collapsed palace ruins. Through the imaginary restoration map drawn by experts, we can still see its grandeur in the past.

Gray muttered dissatisfiedly while paying for the tickets: "Really, I have never accepted such a commission that can only be completed by buying tickets!"

The staff at the ticket office took the cash and issued an adult ticket and a child ticket. By the way, he asked, "Do you need a tour guide? 1500 ring nuns for a group tour, and 3000 ring nuns for an individual tour."

"No need...wait." Gray glanced at Bilika who was standing in front of the height ruler and was gesticulating. He thought that it would be paid out of Bilika's share anyway, so he opened his wallet and took out 3000 rings. Ni, changed his words and said: "Find someone with rich experience."

The altitude of Nathan City is high and the temperature is low. Bilika put on thick knee-high stockings, added a small shawl outside the tunic dress, fastened the neckline with a cowhide button, and pinned another one in the middle Jeweled bow tie.

She stopped in front of the height ruler unwillingly, and muttered in disappointment: "Why is it less than 1.5 meters? I obviously drink milk obediently every day."

It was rare for Nana not to complain, but to stand on top of her head and try to look into the park. Unfortunately, due to the height limit, she could only see the high wall.She sighed and sighed: "The era of demons is finally over."

Gray said that he wanted an experienced tour guide, but he did not expect that the one assigned to them was so "rich".

Standing in front of them was an old man with organ folds all over his face. He called himself "Old Bill" with high prominent cheekbones and skinny cheeks.Probably seeing the disgust in Gray's eyes, Old Bill desperately promoted himself: "I grew up in Nathan, and I played in this area before the park was built. There are many stories and legends in it, which only the local people know. Those young Tour guides only know how to recite words, if you invite them, you might as well invite me."

Gray raised his eyebrows and looked at Bilika. Seeing Bilika nodding, he shrugged and said, "Okay, then you."

Old Bill was very smart, knowing that he knew almost nothing about ancient architecture, and the sooner he was exposed, the easier it would be to cause dissatisfaction with the guests, so he led them around the palace ruins, first visited the surrounding natural scenery, and talked along the way, going round and round along the road. The winding mountain trail went up the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the scenery of the entire Xiguo Ruins Park can be seen at a glance. Old Bill said: "Mount Mitton is also known as the 'king's throne', because standing here, you can see the entire Xiguo, just like a king looking down on himself. territory."

The view here is good, and Bilika is busy taking pictures with her camera. Gray leans on a pine tree that emerges from a crack in the rocks, and yawns boredly.Old Bill chuckled a few times, and continued, "However, there is another legend in our local area. It is said that this entire mountain is the incarnation of Sesshomaru, the last commander of the Western Kingdom."

Seeing that a sentence attracted the attention of Bilika and Gray, Old Bill was a little proud. He cleared his throat, pointed to the road up the mountain just now, and said, "Come on, from here, does that piece look like a dog's head? It is said that , that Sesshomaru-sama was originally a dog demon."

From a distance, the protruding rocks do look a bit like a dog's front kiss, but just because of this, it is too far-fetched to call this mountain the incarnation of monsters.

Gray, who lost interest, leaned back on the tree trunk again. Old Bill guessed what he was thinking, and quickly took a few steps to the side, pointed to the side of the mountain, and said, "It's not just that one place, look here, is there a recess, like Something is missing? It is said that Lord Sesshomaru once had his left arm cut off during the battle with his younger brother for the throne!"

Nana, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, "Please, Sesshomaru's original body is less than half the size of this mountain."

"Huh? Really?" Bilika repeated what Nana said, and the old Bill argued with her angrily: "Nonsense! How big is Master Sesshomaru's original body? Did you see it with your own eyes? He is the master who commands the entire Western Kingdom." Monsters, shouldn't they be bigger?"

Bilika rubbed the back of her head and asked, "Grandpa Bill, I'm not from the Kingdom of Fiore. I don't know much about this period of history. Can I trouble you to talk about it? Since that...uh, Master Sesshomaru Great, how could the Western Kingdom be destroyed?"

Hearing this, Old Bill straightened his back a little more, with a smug expression on his face, sat down on the spot, and began to talk: "This matter, we should start from the battle of Obara 400 years ago. In our land, demons had the final say 400 years ago, but after the Great War, humans have the final say."

Bilika listened carefully with her ears upright, and Nana lay motionless in Bilika's arms, as if she had fallen asleep, but her eyes were still open.

"A long time ago, demons and humans lived together in this land, but they did not coexist peacefully.

Demons that feed on humans.In their eyes, humans at that time were no different from herbivorous cattle and sheep.

However, when human beings are facing the threat of extinction, a very small number of demons who are close to humans appear. They teach humans magic and help humans escape the attacks of other ferocious demons.As the number of human warriors who learned magic gradually increased, the situation also reversed.

People are no longer satisfied with struggling to survive, but start actively hunting monsters.

After that, more than 100 years later, the hatred between humans and demons towards each other is close to the critical value, especially after the strongest dragon among demons disappears..."

"Wait!" Gray suddenly interrupted Old Bill excitedly: "You said the dragon disappeared? When? Where? Why did it disappear?"

Old Bill was stunned for a moment, "I-I don't know, it just disappeared anyway... You see, no one has seen a dragon now, right?"

"Grey, what's the matter?" Bilika noticed that Gray was in an abnormal mood, and Gray shook his head and said, "It's okay, you continue."

Old Bill glanced at Gray inexplicably, scratched the top of his head with his index finger, and continued: "Where did you just say, oh, by the way, humans and demons hate each other, and their hands are covered with each other's blood. Next , is to start a war.

Hey, it was so dark.In the early stage, the monsters fought on their own, and later they also started to organize the monster army. Unfortunately, it was too late!All the famous big monsters died in the battle of Ohara, and the remaining scattered little monsters were either sealed, or lived in the mountains far away from humans with their tails between their legs. Now, want to meet It's hard to be a monster, hahaha. "

How tragic the war is, Bilika doesn't find it funny at all.

She rubbed her arms against Nana, changed the subject, and asked Old Bill, "Let's stop here, thank you. Next, let's go to the palace and have a look. Does the golden calamus grow near there?"

"Golden calamus?" Old Bill glanced at Bilika quite unexpectedly, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "There is no such thing here, it's just a legend, a legend."

"Eh? But, the commission we received..." Bilika lowered her head and flipped through her bag.

"No way!" Gray wailed, stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and pressed his thumb and middle finger on both temples: "Why is this kind of idiot employer again? Magisters are not gods. How can I find him a legend?" Forget it, let’s go, Bilika, this trip is in vain.”

"Wait!" Old Bill propped up his knees and slowly stood up from the ground, with phlegm in his throat, and the words he spit out were vague: "It's not...it's impossible at all."

In fact, the Xiguo Ruins Park in Miton City only includes a part of the capital of the ancient Xiguo, not even one-tenth of the entire Xiguo area.

The legendary golden calamus is a peculiar flower species cultivated by Sesshomaru's wife. It does not grow in the Xiguo Ruins Park, but in a small village where Sesshomaru and his wife lived.It is about fourteen miles away from the capital of the ancient Western Kingdom, and it is covered by thick fog all the year round, like a natural and gloomy cemetery, so it is also called "Demon Tomb".

"However, I heard that there are bears in the vicinity, and no one has ever dared to go..."

Gray turned back slowly, and smiled crookedly: "This sounds interesting."

Bilika covered her eyes with her hands, and she didn't know how many times this was, she sighed weakly and reminded: "Clothes..."

***

Old Bill pointed in a very general direction, and he knew it naturally when he talked about it.

Bilika and Gray walked out along the road out of the city together, and the desolation became more and more desolate. In the second half of the journey, there was only a yellow mud path overgrown with weeds, and not even a bird was seen.

The temperature is getting lower and lower, and white mist is gradually forming around. The small saplings with sparse leaves on both sides of the road are only a vague outline, showing their teeth and claws in the fog.

Bilika couldn't help but clenched the broomstick tightly, and moved closer to Gray unconsciously.

The left shoulder was bumped suddenly, she thought it was Gray, she turned her head unsuspectingly—"Ah!!"

"Bilika!"

Bilika sat down on the ground, and Gray stretched out his hand to pull her. Only then did the two realize that the white mist was so thick that they could only see each other's face clearly while holding hands.

Gray frowned and looked at the white mist around him, protecting Bilika behind him, and asked, "What happened just now?"

Bilika stammered and replied: "Just, just now, there was a... dead head..." His face was covered with blood, his long tongue was dragging, and worms crawled out of his empty eye sockets.

"Calm down, Bilika! There's nothing there!" Nana squatted on her shoulders, warning the two of them solemnly and seriously: "This fog may cause people to hallucinate."

"Damn it, I've been fooled!" Gray clenched his fists, tore off half of his sleeve and used it as a face scarf to cover his mouth and nose, and stared at his surroundings warily: "It's not just as simple as a bear, that old man has no good intentions!"

Bilika had no time to care about Gray being naked again unconsciously, took the other half of the sleeve from him, covered his face like him, and tied it tightly behind his head.A small bottle of lava flask was thrown out, but the fog here is really strange, even bright flames cannot penetrate it, and even a violent hurricane cannot blow it away.

Gray's voice was a bit heavy, and he said, "When we were on the mountain, we mentioned the topic of dragons, do you still remember?"

"Ah? Hmm." Bilika couldn't figure out why Gray suddenly mentioned this at such a time, but she still nodded. After she nodded, she remembered that he might not be able to see clearly now, so she hurriedly responded.

"There were outsiders here just now, so it's inconvenient to say. In fact, Natsu, he was raised by a dragon."

"Dragon?!" Bilika was very surprised: "Are there still dragons in this world?"

"This is the problem." Through the thick fog, Bilika could see the faint silver light from Gray's hand, which was the light of magic activation.

"No one has seen it, but Natsu insists that he was raised by a dragon. If Natsu is not lying, that is to say, the dragon that the world thought was extinct is actually still hiding somewhere in this world. If this assumption is true, then it is not surprising that there are some undiscovered monsters in the ancient western country. For example, the vast white mist in front of them is their best barrier. If they take the opportunity to deceive the living The mouth of the demon..."

Before Gray finished speaking, Nana suddenly reminded loudly: "Be careful behind!"
