Disappeared, you must have been to that place, right?"

Fang Yu didn't hide anything and nodded.

"No wonder, it seems that the opportunity has arrived." The old man said to himself, and then looked at everyone: "Since they have chosen to let you come to this place, I think they must have made their own decisions, and the change in this ring seems to

It also explains all this.”

"What does it mean?" Tian Lan asked without knowing what was going on.

Others did not stop her this time, because this was also the question in their minds at the moment.

"It explains a lot of things, but it's hard to explain clearly for a while," the old man replied: "And since you brought this ring to me, it means you want to know the ins and outs of this matter-"

Everyone was stunned.

Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Etila and Sylvide. They actually positioned themselves as messengers, but after experiencing a series of incidents on Dolifen and Fenris Island, he didn't want to know about the Dragon Witch.

Everything with the dark dragon is not the same.

At this time, Aitila seemed to have thought of something and nodded slightly: "Old sir, just say it."

Fang Plover glanced at Miss Elf in surprise.

It was at this time that he discovered that the Dragon Witch quest line had changed in his system, and a line of prompts appeared on the system, reminding him that the lower-level directory of the Dragon Witch event was being updated.

The old man on the side seemed to have expected that they would answer this way. He raised the ring in his hand, thought about it silently for a while, and sighed: "Before telling all this, let me start by introducing myself."

The others were slightly startled and looked at the old man with some curiosity.

Although Mazak asked them to come to him and give the Ring of Golden Flame to the old gentleman, he never told them why or the identity of the old man.

In fact, Fang Yu also had many speculations. For example, he always guessed that this old man was the person who had been supporting Mazak and Lincius Black Goat Chamber of Commerce for thirty years.

"My real name is Orsin Duque, and Duque is my surname," the old man said: "Those who are familiar with the aristocratic genealogy should know that this surname and a series of large and small families are actually from

Norsnian travels to unite the region."

"In earlier times, we jointly swore allegiance to one master family, which later became the Burwell family. Although over the past two centuries, the power of the kingdom has gradually concentrated and the subordination relationship between the nobles has gradually faded, historically

There are often private alliances between connected families——"

"When I was young, I also followed a big shot from the Burwell family."

"Since you have been to Dolifen, you should have some understanding of the illusion there. It is a reappearance of the past thirty years ago. Although I rarely go to that place after that, so as not to recall the painful memories of that day, but for

Everything that happened thirty years ago is still fresh in my mind."

The old man suddenly raised his head: "So, do you know the origin of that celebration?"

Sylvide recalled the situation at that time and replied: "It seems to be to welcome someone important."

"You are right, little girl," the old man glanced at her and nodded approvingly: "That big shot is called Sean Burwell, or Earl Stoneheart. Have you heard of this name?"

Sylvide thought for a moment: "I think he was an important minister of the kingdom thirty years ago. I have heard of the title Earl Stoneheart."

The old man looked a little surprised: "It seems that you know the nobles of the kingdom very well."

Sylvide glanced at Fang Plover and smiled slightly: "I am an aborigine, Sir Sir."

The old man then showed a look of astonishment, nodded and continued telling the story: "And this Earl Stoneheart was my immediate superior. At that time, he was favored by the king and appointed him to take over the position of consul of Dolifen.

"

It suddenly dawned on everyone that this was the reason for the celebration. An important minister of the king, although his status was equal to that of the consul of Doliphon at that time, his status was so high.

It’s no wonder that the then-consul of Dolifen, Earl Rogosl, was so cautious about the celebration.

Looking at the expressions of everyone, the old man understood that they understood the cause and effect: "That celebration was held for this purpose, and at that time, I was one of the adults accompanying him."

"You all know what happened next. I experienced that disaster personally. Earl Stoneheart also disappeared when Dolifen fell. In fact, I myself almost died here, and I was two friends of Lin Xius.

, saved us all.”

"Although I never saw that knight and lady again, only Lincius took me and Merry's mother away from that place. I was in my prime at that time, and I knew that I had lost the person I swore allegiance to protect.

My lord, I’m afraid I will never be able to get ahead in the future.”

"Therefore, Lin Xius and I promised to find out who was behind the Dolifen incident, whether it was a cultist or a dragon witch. It was at that time that I saw the appearance of the ring for the first time——

In the following decades, I have been working on this matter."

The old man then put down the ring: "The investigation over the past thirty years has certainly not yielded anything, and I have also discovered some interesting things..."

At the same time, he patted the cover of the book on his lap again: "Although the story of Yossiude and the Dragon is wonderful, some things in it are not true, just like the Dragon's Golden Eye in your hands.

"

"Dragon's Golden Eyes?"

The old man nodded: "Everyone knows that the hero Yosuude defeated the evil dragon with the dragon-slaying sword Jalapea, cut off one of its claws and one corner, blinded one of its eyes, and used the eye to make a ring."

"This ring has no name in the legend, but you know that it is the Ring of Golden Flame."

"But that's not the case -"

The old man's story was neither fast nor slow, but everyone felt as if they were in a dream, because every sentence that followed subverted their common sense; the old man said: "I have some definite evidence that Jin Yan

The ring was not made by the hero Yoshid."

" Nicol Bolas was blind in one eye long before the battle with him."

"Although Yuexiude did get this ring, it was not from the Dragon Witch. And soon, for reasons well known to everyone, the ring was stolen."

"The next time it appears, it's in Doliphon -"

In the silent air, there was only the crackling of charcoal in the fireplace, and the old man's voice was equally quiet.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and after a while, Fang Pliance asked: "So Yue Xiude, who got the Ring of Golden Flame from? Is this ring really made of dragon gold?"

The old man shook his head and stared at him with gray eyes.

"In the early years, in order to pursue this answer," he replied slowly: "Lin Xiusi and I carried this ring of golden flames to those four places, but we all returned without success."

"And now my physical condition no longer allows me to travel far. Although Linxius was younger than me back then, he is now over fifty years old. I am afraid there is not much time left for him, otherwise he will not

I will give this ring to you——"

Fang Yu frowned and half understood: "Sorry, I don't quite understand, Mr. Du Ke, what do those four places mean? As for giving this ring to us, isn't it because we happen to be there?

"

The old man shook his head: "That's not the case. It only means that he sees a certain quality in you."

"Trait?"

"A trait that is related to the dark dragon. I don't know what it is specifically. But I choose to believe Lin Xius, not to mention that the ring itself also gave me this answer."

Fang Yu couldn't help but recall his experience at Traveler's Rest. If he had any contact with the Dark Dragon before that, he seemed to have no clue. The only thing that could make him think of something was that he was seeing Nicol Pola.

A series of illusions occurred when Si broke off his horn.

At that time, Mazak's old housekeeper happened to be by his side.

Maybe that's when?

Maybe there is also Cang Zhihui?

He couldn't help but subconsciously look at the back of his gloved right hand. Although Toragotos had once explained to him what the Sea Forest Crown was, the evil dragon seemed to be unable to explain the Glory of Cang.

Not sure.

After a while, he came back to his senses and asked: "This ring?"

"Only you have ended Dolifen's illusion," the old man asked, "isn't it?"

He continued: "One of the four places I mentioned is Dollifon."

Fang Yu was stunned and asked somewhat unexpectedly: "What about the other three places?"

The old man fell silent, and gently touched the cover of the book with his thin hand. After a while, he said:

"The land of dragons in the desert of Istania. It was once the hometown of dragon slayers, but now there is only a piece of rubble left."

"Then came the first city that was reduced to ruins in the dragon witch's flames, Idos."

"Finally, the place where Yoshid defeated the Dragon Witch, the Ash Mountains in the north of Duron."
