The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 72 Valley of Forgetfulness, An Unexpected Situation

Although he had previously declined invitations from others, the situation was different now, as it was for intelligence gathering.

After returning to Noren's home, Kahn received a warm welcome from Noren's family before he even had a chance to ask any questions.

They not only prepared hot water for his bath and steaming meals for him, but even his ostrich was taken care of. Such hospitality was overwhelming for him, and he could not refuse but had no choice but to accept it.

Kahn had no choice but to take off his straw hat. After a long-awaited bath, his body was clean and refreshed. His handsome but slightly immature young face was revealed to the Noren family, much to their surprise.

Noren's young daughter, Kii, clapped her hands happily and said:

"What a handsome older brother!"

Norren and his wife Noriko were also surprised; they never expected that beneath the mysterious and disheveled voice they first met would be such a sunny, clean-cut, and handsome young man.

Kahn smiled helplessly; this was not part of his plan.

However, this appearance also made them more amiable.

Noren is now the troupe's director, and he does know more about the two former members than others.

But before Kahn asked Ershu for clues, Noren first asked him:

"Why would someone your age come here alone to inquire about Ershu? You know she's been gone for a long time."

Kahn hesitated for a moment, then decided to be sincere and said:

"I was asked to do this by a friend, but I'm sorry I can't tell you the reason, and I also hope you won't tell anyone else about me, as this could bring disaster."

"Although it may sound suspicious, I can only say that I am not a bad person, please rest assured."

"If you could provide any information about Ershu, that would be great, but I can understand if you can't."

After hearing Kahn's speech, both Noren and Norrico were somewhat taken aback, but after exchanging a glance, Noren still smiled and said:

"The fact that you can say these things is enough to prove that you have no ill intentions, not to mention that you brought this item with you."

As he spoke, he picked up the mask that Kahn had placed on the table, gently rubbing a scratch on it with his thumb, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"This is the mask that Ershu took away before. I never thought I would see it again."

Noreco asked curiously from the side:

"To be able to leave wearing the Dragon King mask, she must have been a very popular actress before."

During the conversation, Kahn learned that Noriko seemed to have married from elsewhere and had only been there a short time, so she was not very familiar with things here.

"Yes, she's practically the most famous actress in the troupe, but not because of her acting skills."

Norren did know more details than the others who had spoken with Kahn before.

He told Kahn that Ershu and Aiken were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship. They had reportedly realized their love for each other a long time ago and were even about to get married.

This story is quite famous within the theater troupe because they are not only a couple in real life, but they also practiced hard to get the chance to play the male and female leads in "The Dragon King and Love," and ultimately they successfully won the right to perform the roles.

It is said that Aiken wanted to propose to Ershu on the day of the show's performance.

It's inspiring and romantic.

However, a few days before the performance, Ershu suddenly decided to marry into the royal family and left resolutely. This action not only broke Aiken's heart but also ruined the large-scale performance a few days later. Therefore, everyone in the troupe had a deep impression of this incident.

"."

Kahn remained numbly silent, partly because Ershu's experiences were so melodramatic that they left him somewhat dazed, and partly because the information was not quite what he had imagined.

I need clues to find people, not gossip!

Seemingly hearing Kahn's inner turmoil, Noren finally got to the point.

But after listening, Kahn was somewhat disappointed because what he said was almost identical to the descriptions of the other people, and they were all just unfounded rumors.

However, he also learned an additional legend about the Valley of Forgetfulness.

This is a local legend that says Forget-Me-Not Valley is a canyon not far from the town. It is said that the forest at the bottom of the canyon has magical power, and people who have lost love can forget everything and start a new life after going there.

At that moment, Noriko suddenly interjected:

"Speaking of which, I seem to recall someone saying they saw Aiken and Ershu a year or two ago. They said the two of them went to Forget-Worry Valley together."

Norren denied it:

"That's impossible. No one has seen them with their own eyes since Ershu left."

"Well, if it's true, that would be a really romantic story."

"Romantic? Forget-Me-Not Valley is an extremely dangerous place; no one who goes in has ever come out."

The two started bickering, but neither of them was angry; it was more like a sweet, playful banter between a loving couple than a serious argument.

But Kahn wasn't in the mood for this display of affection, because the trail had completely ended there, leaving only one final location—

Valley of Forgetfulness.

Should I really go?

Just hearing people's descriptions of it, he knew that the environment there was extremely dangerous, not to mention there was a very mysterious legend about it, which made Kahn dare not be careless.

Based on his experience reading novels in his previous life, in the fantasy world, it's best to treat any ancient legend as a real fact!

It was already night, and the wilderness was even more dangerous. Kahn decided to rest here for the time being and go to the spirit world to ask Ailo if he knew anything about the Valley of Forgetfulness. He would set off to investigate tomorrow.

Noren's daughter, Little Giy, seemed to like him a lot, and he spent some time playing with her when he had nothing else to do, after all, the little girl had good taste.

The little girl is very lively and cute, and her behavior is very well-mannered; it seems her parents have taught her very well.

Kahn disliked unruly children but liked well-behaved ones, so in a good mood, he casually taught her some basics of fire control, without telling her that it was fire control.

Kii is not yet old enough to awaken his magic, but it's only a matter of time, within the next few years.

Kahn wished her success in awakening, since in this fantasy world, sorcerers ultimately had more control over their own destiny than ordinary people.

If she does awaken, it will allow her to get started faster, but even if she doesn't awaken, she shouldn't be overly disappointed.

When the time came, Kahn returned to his room and entered the spirit world. Since he was in an unfamiliar place and his safety could not be guaranteed, he did not intend to chat and went straight to the point to finish the battle quickly.

He relayed the details of the Valley of Forgetfulness to Ailo, and after thinking about it, Ailo's answer surprised him greatly.

"The situation there may be related to deities."

The liver is out! (Hands on hips)
