Led by the old man, Locke, Oswald and Veronica, who was carried on Oswald’s shoulder, arrived at an ancient castle.

As soon as they entered the castle, a woman in her fifties came up.

“This is Harry Theresa, our healer.” The old man turned to Locke and Oswald and introduced Theresa to them.

Oswald took a look at Locke and saw Locke nod slightly, so he threw Veronica on his shoulder to Harry Theresa.

Harry Theresa waved her hand, and a wave of magic caught Veronica. After checking Veronica’s condition, she looked up and said to Locke and Oswald, “She is seriously injured. I need to take her to the treatment room.”

“Thank you.”

Locke said to Harry Theresa. He sensed a strong smell of herbs from the woman. Obviously, the old man didn’t lie. However, he kept a high vigilance from beginning to end to prevent any accidents.

Two maids walked up to them, carried Veronica on the stretcher and then left with Harry Theresa.

“Don’t worry. Theresa is the best healer here.” The old man said with some pride on his face.

Led by the old man, Locke and Oswald arrived at the castle hall.

“My name is Violet Errol. I’m the high priest of this tribe.” The old man said with a smile.

Locke and Oswald introduced themselves respectively.

“Sir, why are they so hostile to us?” Seeing the maids leave, Locke asked in confusion.

Violet sighed and shook his head, “It’s not their fault. You may not know that several tribes nearby have been attacked by outsiders.”

“Our ancestors once followed the lord god to fight everywhere and died in the battle of the gods. Three thousand years ago, the lord god we served suddenly sealed this small world and left a prophecy that the small world would reopen three thousand years later and the great world would come.”

“I didn’t expect that three thousand years have passed.” Violet couldn’t help but sigh.

Locke and Oswald listened quietly, and had a better understanding of this small world. This world was left by the lord god, in which lived humans and magic beasts that once followed the lord god.

The living areas of both humans and magic beasts were only in the East Territory, the West Territory, the North Territory and the South Territory. The Middle Territory was shrouded in flames all year round, and even level-10 masters couldn’t easily set foot in it.

In the past three thousand years, the energy in the small world had been shrinking, and the content of magic and fighting spirits had declined significantly. The original harmonious situation in the small world had gradually been out of balance. Many forces had fought several large-scale battles in order to compete for resources.

And small forces like them could only live on the periphery of the small world.

Three thousand years ago, the lord god had left an oracle, indicating that the small world would be reopened three thousand years later. The inheritance in the small world would appear, and there would be new changes in the world.

About half an hour later, Violet gave a general account of the small world.

After digesting what Violet had said, Locke asked, “You just said that the inheritance in the small world will also open in the near future, right?”

Nodding his head, Violet said, “You must be here for that inheritance, aren’t you?”

Locke nodded noncommittally.

“With the appearance of the inheritance, I’m afraid there will be another war in the small world.”

Violet sighed, and then looked at Locke and said, “Since three thousand years ago, our ancestors have lived in the small world. We can only get some information about the outside world from books. Could you please tell me about the current situation of the Icacia Continent?”

“Sure.” Locke nodded and said with a smile, “The Icacia Continent is similar to the small world. Now, there are countless divided countries, among which the most powerful are the kingdom forces and the hidden forces.”

In about twenty minutes, Locke told the general situation of the Icacia Continent, from the small divided kingdoms to the strong empires, and then to the hidden forces that were fully exposed to the world and as powerful as empire forces.

“In other words, since three thousand years ago, there has been no divine-level master in the Icacia Continent?” The high priest Violet asked.

Locke nodded.

After a long silence, Violet suddenly asked, “Mr. Capet, you are now a leader with your own territory. I wonder if you can give us a place to live in the future?”

Although these people’s strengths were not very high, their blood energy was exuberant and their magic energy was pure. The reason why their strengths could not increase was mostly that the magic energy of the small world was thin. If they went to the Icacia Continent, their strengths would definitely increase in leaps and bounds, which was very terrifying.

However, although Locke was tempted, he did not immediately agree, “May I ask, why so many people entered this small world, but you just choose me?”

There was no strength limitation in the land of inheritance, nor was there any age limitation like that in the land of legacy. And there were countless super forces and level-10 practitioners in front of them. However, this high priest gave up these masters and found him, a level-8 practitioner. This was very suspicious.

“Do you know why they respect me so much?” Violet said with a smile, “Besides being a practitioner, the high priest has another identity, that is, an astrologer.”

“You are an astrologer?” Locke was a little surprised. This was the second astrologer he had met.

“Ten years ago, I divined for Bradley when he was born. The prophecy showed that he will meet a person who will determine the future of our tribe.”

“So, you think it’s me?”

“Even for level-10 practitioners, I can still see some good or ill, but you seem to be shrouded in a mysterious power.”

After a moment’s silence, Locke nodded and said, “I agree.”

Seeing that Locke had agreed, a smile appeared on Violet’s face. After a pause, he continued, “At present, the small world is in chaos. We don’t intend to participate in these fights, so, we may not be able to help you.”

Locke knew what Violet meant. At present, it was basically super forces that were fighting. With the Errol tribe’s strength, it was very likely that they would be annihilated in the wars. So Locke smiled and said, “It’s okay. You don’t need to participate in the following actions.”

Then Locke borrowed some books about the small world from Violet, intending to learn more about the situation of the small world. Violet was also very happy to agree and immediately arranged for someone to prepare books for Locke.

“Locke, is what this old man said credible?” Seeing the old man’s back completely disappear, Oswald asked suspiciously.

“Anyway, let’s just stay here for the time being.” Locke said in a low voice. He planned to know more about the world before he set out.

“Let’s go to see that woman first.” After thinking for a while, Locke and Oswald came to the treatment room.

At this time, the treatment was over. Veronica was lying on the bed aside and was still in a coma. According to Harry Theresa, Veronica was seriously injured, and it was uncertain when she would wake up. But Theresa had already stopped the worsening tendency in Veronica’s body.

“Locke, what about this woman?”

Oswald looked at Veronica in bed with some annoyance.

Taking a look at Veronica on the bed, Locke said in a calm tone, “Now that you’re awake, shouldn’t you get up and say thank you to your saviors?”

As soon as Locke finished speaking, Veronica slowly opened her eyes and coldly stared at Locke, “Locke Capet…”

“Forget it. It seems that you won’t say thank you.” Locke waved his hand and said with a smile, “But we’re taking the remuneration ourselves first.”

As Locke spoke, a sky-blue space ring appeared in his palm.

Veronica hurriedly touched the middle finger of her left hand and found that her space ring had already disappeared. Her eyes were burning with anger as if she wanted to tear Locke and Oswald apart, “You two!”

“Well, let’s make a deal.”

Locke was not afraid at all. He looked at her with a smile and said, “If you erase the magic array of this space ring, we can protect you until you recover or you find your family.”

“No way!” Veronica refused without hesitation. Removing the defense of the space ring was equivalent to giving it to him directly.

Locke shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, “OK. Anyway, the space ring is in my hand. After I go out, someone will help me open it. We will leave here tomorrow, and the rest you have to handle yourself.”

Before he left, he stopped, turned around and said with a smile, “But I have a friendly reminder that people in this small world don’t seem to welcome outsiders like us.”

Oswald also nodded and said to Veronica sincerely, “If you have any last words, you can tell us. If we meet your family, we will pass on them.”

Hearing Oswald’s words, Locke couldn’t help giving him a thumbs up.

As expected, as soon as Oswald finished his words, Locke saw clearly that Veronica’s pale face turned even paler.
