Whatever the relationship between Die and this woman, her origins are terrifying.

It's actually related to the Night King.

In the subsequent murals, Marvin saw a war report sent back from the distant multiverse.

Then, many people in the painting showed sadness when faced with this letter from outer space.

Marvin guessed that it might be the news that the Night King died in that battle.

Because what happens next is that everyone is building a tomb.

That tomb is just south of the Thousand Leaves Forest where the high elves live , almost the same location as the tomb of the Night King.

The woman in the painting is standing beside the tombstone with great sadness.

She never left until the end of the mural.

Marvin didn’t know what happened after that, and it wasn’t shown in the murals.

…

"It's obvious that Die has a close relationship with this woman. Maybe she is the one."

"Legend has it that the royal family of the high elves are immortal because they are the direct bloodline of the ancient elven gods. If Die is really a high elf, then it is normal for her to have lived from ancient times to the present."

"After the Second Era ended, not all high elves entered the sanctuary. A few stayed behind, but not necessarily in the Thousand Leaves Forest."

Marvin thought quietly.

If this is the case, then Die’s previous words can be explained.

She may have used some methods to forget a lot of things, and being a happy but mediocre wood elf may be a better choice for her.

But the content on the mural may stimulate her to recall something.

So she would say she regretted it.

She shouldn't have come here, but some things, once she recalled them, could not be avoided.

So she chose to leave.

Marvin vaguely remembered that at the other end of the portal that Die opened was a lush forest.

The reason why it looks familiar is because that is where he advanced to the Night Walker!

She went back to see him again.

…

"It seems that the professor knows."

Marvin recalled at this moment that when everyone tried to stop Die from entering the underground temple, it was the professor who made the decision alone.

The shrewd Copper Dragon obviously knew this.

Does he want Die to recover his previous memories?

Although this decision may be somewhat disrespectful to Die's will, at this time, Marvin still understands the professor's approach.

Because the current Fenan is really lacking in top-notch experts.

The Great Elf King has died in battle. Although this news has not yet been spread on a large scale, most of the strong people have already known about it.

There are only two plane guardians left. How long can they last relying on the Cosmic Magic Pool?

This is always a huge question mark.

If the plane guardians cannot stop the gods from marching into Fenan, then how many people can survive the chaos that follows?

At this time, if it were Marvin, he would do the same to awaken the memory of a potential peerless strong man.

After all, there is Eric's example.

Marvin will definitely use all resources to fight against the invaders.

The copper dragon is obviously no exception.

…

After viewing the murals, Marvin felt a little heavy-hearted.

He didn't know what Die would do next, but since the professor had awakened her memory, he must have a follow-up strategy.

No matter what, this former high elf queen was also a very powerful person who followed the Night King to fight all over the world.

Judging from the fact that she can easily open a directional portal in the underground temple, her fighting ability is probably not inferior to that of the Dark Phoenix.

It should be a good thing for Fenan's side to have one more plane guardian-level strongman.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Die continues to seal her memory and lives her life in a muddle.

But this possibility is too low.

…

Marvin adjusted his mood and continued to move forward.

Under the illumination of the bonfire, the second floor of the underground temple does not seem so gloomy, but there are always some scary things.

For example, when you walk around a corner, some biting books will often pop out and attack you without any explanation.

This biting book looks no different from an ordinary book, but it can float in the air by itself, and when the pages are opened, they will turn into a bloody mouth.

The Bite Book is an ancient book that was contaminated by magic.

Marvin was bitten several times unexpectedly and almost lost some flesh. It was so painful.

Like the Dark Maggot, the Bite Book also possesses a certain divine template.

The difference is that after destroying a biting book, you can get a piece of parchment.

These parchments are all pages from ancient books. A single page may not be of much use. It is necessary to collect enough pages of a book or a chapter to complete an ancient book.

If time permits, Marvin would like to brush up on the Bite Book here.

Maybe you can piece together some ancient books.

Many ancient books are very useful because they were written before the establishment of the Cosmic Magic Pool, when ancient wizards already existed.

They rely on their own will to communicate and trade directly with chaotic magic. The ancient witchcraft they created does not rely on magic pools, but on their own magic pools and witchcraft runes or witchcraft models in their brains.

The so-called new wizards after the Cataclysm are actually just a revival of ancient wizards.

However, the qualifications for this group of people are extremely demanding, much higher than the threshold in the wizarding era.

Only those with extremely strong willpower can follow the path of ancient wizards.

However, embarking on this path does not necessarily mean that it will be smooth sailing.

Without the help of the Cosmic Magic Pool, you won't be able to learn new spells.

At this time, the spell books of ancient wizards become very useful.

Many ancient books record the methods of constructing runes. Although Marvin himself cannot use them, Winnie really needs them.

Otherwise, having all the magic power but not being able to use it would be an extremely embarrassing thing.

It would have been better if Hathaway was here, because she at least had some legendary witchcraft and little spells of her own for Winnie to refer to.

But now Hathaway has broken the curse and been reborn from the ashes, becoming the Witch King of Anze.

Although Winnie went deep into the wilderness, Marvin still kept an eye on things in this area.

"After this matter is settled, I'll ask the professor if I can find some time to collect a few ancient books."

Marvin thought as he continued to move forward .

The parchments in his hands accumulated more and more, but they all belonged to three different spell books.

One of them is a catalog page. Marvin estimated that the book has about 30 pages. Based on the current average probability of three books making up one page, he would have to collect at least 100 pages to have a chance of collecting a whole ancient book.

There is no doubt that this is a daunting task.

The Bite Book is highly resistant to Aoba and is very fast, and even Marvin's agility will suffer if he is not careful.

Rather than counting on this, it would be safer to find a library as soon as possible.

Maybe there are some records of ancient witchcraft books in the library of the Five-Colored Dragon.

However, although the Dragon Soul told him how to find the library, this method was not so convenient.

The Dragon Soul told Marvin that the denser the biting books were, the closer it was to the library.

With only this one clue, Marvin would undoubtedly feel very upset.

He could only rely on his instinct and go to places where there were many biting books.

During his killing spree, he destroyed more than twenty biting books and obtained more than twenty parchments, but his luck was bad and he was unable to collect any divinity.

There is a dark hall ahead.

Marvin approached cautiously, paying special attention to the sides of the door - the BiteBook usually liked to hide in such insidious corners to launch sneak attacks.

After a few bites, Marvin had almost figured out their pattern.

But what surprised him was that this time when he walked into the hall, he was not attacked by the biting book.

"Did I go the wrong way? Didn't I go along the area where the biting books are more densely populated?"

Marvin frowned.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

The second underground floor is different from the first floor, there are bonfires and braziers almost everywhere!

However, this hall was pitch black.

The next second, his eyes swept to the brazier beside him.

It was extinguished by someone.

Someone got there first!

This thought suddenly popped up in Marvin's mind.

He quickened his pace, and sure enough, not far away he met a woman in black.
